The Motivated Mind

Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison has devoted his life to the study and application of psychotherapy and Buddhism. As a young, gay kid dealing with abuse and discrimination, he forged a path towards healing and inner strength through the discovery of Zen teachings. Through his current work, he is able to guide others to discover clarity, courage, and compassion. In this episode, we discuss the superpower of becoming free when we learn how to be still with our pain, how society pushes us into the narrow track of “normal”, and asking ourselves what our own wisdom says we need.
