This episode chronicles the hard earned spiritual unfoldment of the great saint, author and editor Parvati Markus, who's first acid trip (Golden Sunshine/Owlsey acid) in 1969 led her directly to a first encounter with a freshly anointed Ram Dass, beaming with light at his fathers farm. Parvati became Ram Dass's personal secretary for two years, helping him edit his spiritual classic Be Here Now while saving up money to eventually travel to India with her heart set solely on meeting Neem Karoli Baba, who she believed to be the source of Ram Dass's inner light. After an arduous journey traveling through India for the first time in 1971, she contracted hepatitis while traveling, she eventually made it to darshan with Maharaj-ji, and reads her journal notes from her first encounter with him. Parvati is a Love Serve Remember rebel, who for 7 months lived with Maharaj-ji alongside her early cronies Ram Dass, Krishna Das, Mirabai Bush, Rameshwar Das and a young Raghu Markus - who Parvati spontaneously married at the behest of Maharaj-ji on this trip, presiding himself over the ceremony. Parvati then had the incredible honor of becoming Maharaj-ji's "private secretary", where she experienced countless first hand account miracles and a lifetime's worth of wisdom and grace, which she emanates. Parvati is the author of Whisper In The Heart, and Love Everyone, both books inspired by the wisdom and presence of Neem Karoli Baba, and has been a contributing editor for 50 years of a range of Love Serve Remember authors. Parvati is an inspirational woman who exhibited impeccable devotion, respect and selfless service throughout her spiritual journey, and shares stories generously and in great detail throughout this episode.

Thursdays your questions are answered right. Email podcast@mindbodyspace.com to ask questions for me or my guests. Marc Lesser is CEO of ZBA, a speaker, facilitator, workshop leader, and executive coach. He co-created Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute at Google with Chade Meng Tan and Mirabai Bush. Go to Episode 47 to hear our full conversation. Marc has written four books, his latest: Seven Practices of a Mindful Leader: Lessons from Google and a Zen Monastery Kitchen Sign up for Marc's weekly online meditations open to all. More information HERE

Marc Lesser is a coach, grandfather, CEO of ZBA Associates, and the Author of four books. The most recently published book is Seven Practices of a Mindful Leader: Lessons from Google and a Zen Monastery Kitchen. Marc asks, "What could your work, and your life, look like if you knew how to stay focused yet flexible, if you got more of the right things done, and if you were helping to create a more peaceful world at the same time?" Marc shares tips on managing uncertainty and understanding that it is a constant truth in life and that as long as we don't resist it, we can be in harmony with not knowing anything with certainty. We discuss his journey of finding zen in college, 10 years at a monastery, becoming an entrepreneur, and finally coming full circle by merging his zen roots with the business of bringing mindfulness into the corporate world. Marc has taught his 7-step proven method to leaders at Google, Genentech, SAP, Facebook, and dozens of other Fortune 500 companies for over 20 years. Marc along with Chade-Meng Tan and Mirabai Bush develop the world-renowned Search Inside Yourself (SIY) program within Google – a mindfulness-based emotional intelligence training for leaders which teaches the art of integrating mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and business savvy for creating great corporate cultures and a better world. Today's leaders are challenged with a complexity that can lead to stress and burnout. A mindful leader, according to Marc Lesser, Author, speaker, Zen teacher, "maybe one of THE most important competencies in business today if leaders are to move beyond fear, anxiety, nagging self-doubt, and the feeling of constant overwhelm." "All of us are leaders in one way or another. Marc Lesser applies the power of mindfulness and compassion to guiding and bringing the best out of others." Rick Hanson, Ph.D

I finished this fantastic, and very insightful book, last Autumn, shortly before he died on December 22, 2019. There were many years I didn't realize he was a gay man.

Ram Dass' 1971 book, "Be Here Now," was the gateway drug into spirituality for a lot of young people seeking answers in the era of Vietnam. Dass first tried being a psychology professor at Harvard, where he and colleague Timothy Leary sought God through experiments with psychedelics. Then, he went to India and found his guru, who taught him how to feel high without the drugs. Many young people followed him to India, The chose to feed the hungry and serve the people, just as Ram Dass tended to the dying, the blind, and the incarcerated. They searched for meaning away from the political tumult of 1960's America. There are parallels to today. Ram Dass died last month.

Mirabai Bush and Raghu Markus join Ram Dass to celebrate the release of Ram Dass and Mirabai’s new book, Walking Each Other Home, and share a conversation about how embracing death can allow us to live more fully.Pick up your hardcover copy of Walking Each Other Home and learn to embrace the mystery of death with compassion and love: Walking Each Other Home

Ram Dass (born Richard Alpert) is a world-renowned spiritual teacher and the author of the indispensable classic Be Here Now. Despite suffering a massive stroke that left him with aphasia, Ram Dass continues to write and teach from his home in Maui. His longtime friend Mirabai Bush is the founder of the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, and was the one of the co-creators of Google's Search Inside Yourself program. They have teamed with Sounds True to publish Walking Each Other Home: Conversations on Loving and Dying. In this special episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon speaks with Ram Dass and Mirabai Bush about changing our society's dysfunctional relationship to dying, focusing on how to ease fears around the process. They talk about facing a lifetime of regrets and why going into our last moments consciously is so important. Finally, Mirabai leads listeners in a practice designed to help release attachments and comments on why grieving is an important act of love. (63 minutes) Tami's Takeaway: Ram Dass, who is now 87 years old, has planned at the time of his death for there to be an open-air funeral in Maui. He has even secured a government license for this to happen. Ever the teacher (even when it comes to his own death), Ram Dass's intention is to introduce Westerners to teachings from the East—in this case, the value of sitting with a burning corpse while contemplating impermanence and living whole-heartedly. Of course, we don't need to wait until we are at an open-air funeral to engage in such contemplation. We are each asked to die in some way every day, to let go of an old image of ourselves or an outmoded configuration of some kind. Can we embrace the dying we are going through right now? And in the process, experience our hearts breaking open so that we can live and love fully, without constraint?

Mirabai found herself moving from working on her Ph.D. in a very tumultuous university environment in the midst of the political unrest in the late 19060s. In a search to find another way of being Mirabai began her journey around the world. She began in Europe and started working her way East across the country traveling by land across the Middle East, through the mountains of a very peaceful Afghanistan and Pakistan and eventually found her way to India. She didn't have a desire to learn meditation, but when she got to India there was a ten-day meditation instruction being offered to westerners for the first time by a Burmese teacher. Having never crossed her legs and meditated this was a very new experience for her. The first three days was just focused on cultivating a one pointed attention, and from there they were then able to begin learning how to direct her attention towards a specified path. Mirabai ended up taking 3-4 more courses in a row. She thought she would stay for two weeks in India but stayed for two years. Mirabai started a small company with her husband at the time in the 1970s. Having a small business that lasted about 13 years. It employed around one-hundred people, she was able to experiment with meditation and mindfulness practices as part of her company's culture. Beginning in 1995, she started bringing mindfulness into corporate America. Her early perspectives on mindfulness came from a literature background. She was constantly looking to the outside for a deeper understanding. It wasn't until she began her mindfulness practice in India that she began to build her understanding of herself. Mirabai explained that, “It had never occurred to me to look inside my own mind to understand more deeply the nature of reality.” “I also saw that by looking at my own mind, first through these practices I could get calm, quiet, and stable enough to be able to look at my own mind. Before that there was so much busyness in there from always trying to take information from the outside and stirring it up… I began to see that we can understand a lot about reality, about inner and outer reality, by simply looking at our own minds.” Mirabai described her early understandings from her mindfulness practice as an awakening. “I began to see how I was creating a lot of the problems in my life, emotions would arise and I would act on them without recognizing that I had a choice. I was so identified with my thoughts and my emotions… I better get really angry about that, without even thinking ‘I better get angry', but just immediately having that response of being really angry.” “When your awareness gets refined enough you can begin to sense an emotion like that as a sensation in the body, anger, jealousy, envy, the whole range. You begin to sense it in your body, and then you begin to recognize that.” She then continued to explain that you begin to recognize ti earlier and stopping and returning to a practice of breathing. From that you begin to realize that you are not your anger. “In the moment that you have the choice to act on it or not to act, that gives you a lot of freedom.” “We are really our awareness, and as we begin to become more familiar with the part of us that is not the thought”. “You are not your thoughts, you have the choice to act on it or not.” “Mindfulness is very simple, but is not easy to do, because the mind is so busy.” Mirabai continued to explain that we usually use the breath, and even then the mind runs away so quickly. By maintaining a level of patience, and cultivating a sense of non-judging, you may begin to gain much more freedom in your life. In the workplace Mirabai gave a number of reasons how mindfulness can support and help you through your workday. We are always moving so quickly at work, mindfulness enables you to pay attention to priorities.It helps you see each thing for what it is, and remember what it is that you intended to do with this day, helping you stay focused on what you hoped to accomplish. Mindfulness allows you to form new categories, allowing you to expand your understanding by noticing and identify new things that you might have overlooked. This allows you to be more innovative and to broaden your perspective on your work. Truly essential to any workplace is effective communication. It is mindful listening that allows you to truly be able to gain a deep understanding of what others are trying to tell you. “You are able to let go in your own mind of all the thoughts that are arising, all the ways in which you are going to fix that problem, all the ways in which that very thing has happened to you and you can't wait to say it. Maybe it is a difficult situation, you have already established in your mind what you are going to say when that person finishes talking and you are paying more attention to that rather than what they are saying.” In mindful listening you are able to let your thoughts go and you maintain an awareness of the individual speaking. It begins to cultivate a form of trust that is essential and difficult to build. The trust and positive relationship built from mindful listening changes the game on how you may follow-up, how you communicate with those people, creating a much more positive and supportive atmosphere. “The benefits of mindfulness don't stop at the end of the workday, they are the same qualities and capacities that make a successful home life as well.” Mirabai Bush made it a point to explain that integrating mindfulness into organizations requires a level of support and a climate where it is encouraged. She explained that mindfulness has two main entry points into the workplace. One is by the senior leaders make the decision to embrace mindfulness in the workplace and begin to build opportunities to allow the people in the organization to participate. The second was where a member of the organization decides to find a way to bring it into the organization. Google's Search Inside Yourself Program began with a single engineer, Chade-Meng Tan, establishing a mindfulness program with a few dozen people. Mirabai was a key supporter to help Chade-Meng develop the Search Inside Yourself program. The program was successful, and kept growing in size. It is the most popular program among Google employees. What is necessary for it to begin to change the organization is for there to be internal support for it by people in power of the organizations. Mirabai described a recent mindfulness program she led at an insurance company. She explained that it was just a half-day and provided a nice introduction, but for mindfulness in an organization to really promote a change it is something that needs to be ongoing. She explained that with a few individuals in the organization who receive a little more training in how to lead sessions, it can truly take off. Mirabai answered the question, how do I know mindfulness can help my organization? A high level of competitiveness coupled with a lot of intense distractions. Mindfulness practice can support a reorientation back towards an increased focus, improved homelife, and reduced stress. Decision making in the organization could improve. What might look like stress, tunnel vision, or a lack of high quality decision making can be improved with mindfulness. Increase a stableness and a calmness that allows an individual to overcome a high demand work environment. “Mindfulness doesn't stop all these things from arising, it teaches you how to respond instead of react.” Mirabai went on to explain that “if you just sit for twenty minutes a day things begin to change. It takes time. It takes time to develop a depth of insight, but it only takes ten minutes to drop your cortisol levels.” Cortisol levels are are associated with increased levels of stress. Mirabai explained in our conversation that meditation and mindfulness practices have been linked directly to decreasing this hormone also tied to qualitative responses in studies to the feeling of increased calmness and lower stress. In this episode, Mirabai brought to us a story of the mindful sniper. In this story a US sniper was on a rooftop in Afghanistan and was faced with the difficult task of saving school children from a suicide bomber. The American sniper credits his experience in mindfulness practice to his ability to see an opportunity that was outside of the typical training and allowed him to save the lives of school children. Our conversation moved to Mirabai's experience teaching Stanford graduates who didn't have a lot of experience in social awareness, compassion, well-wishing, love, and the desires of others. Mirabai supported the development of the capacity of these leaders to be able to reach their fulfillment in their work and in the interactions with those around them. Compassion building mindfulness practices can be a tremendous benefit to those who are from cultures where kindness, compassion, and connection are not the norm or expectation.

Through relaxation you can break the vicious circle of pain and stress. This podcast takes you through some easy to learn methods of relaxation, helping it to become part of your daily life and improving your wellbeing. It also lists the benefits of meditation and looks at the supporting scientific evidence, examining why relaxation should be an integral component in your recovery.   Relaxation Relaxation is an integral component of cognitive behavioral treatment programs for chronic pain.1 Taking care of stress and anxiety as a chronic pain patient is crucial for your recovery.   Meditation   Meditation is also a great way to built relaxation into your daily life. There are many different ways of practicing meditation and you have to find what works best for you.   Many people enrich their lives through practicing meditation. When you read interviews with successful CEO´s, entrepreneurs or celebrities who have incorporated meditation routines in their lives it is astonishing to see the huge benefits they experience.   Personal benefits of people who meditate regularly: more happiness having more energy having more creativity living more efficiently a better understanding of ones own emotions more sensitivity to the feelings and emotions of others more control over ones own emotions less pressured by your experiences less stressed feeling more relaxed more calming thoughts control over your sensory filtering improved memory and executive function increased ability to concentrate increased emotional intelligence   Thinking about relaxation, mindfulness and awareness during our recovery can’t be done without looking at some important evidence and thoughts about meditational practices: Mindfulness meditation programs improve anxiety, depression and pain over the course of 2–6 months. The effects are comparable with those you can expect after taking antidepressants for the same period of time, but without the associated toxicities.2 47 placebo-controlled trials all found small to moderate improvements in pain, anxiety and depression. What is really great about this review (Meditation programs for psychological stress and well-being from 2013) is that it demonstrates that the meditation group attained better results compared to the control group undertaking an equally intense treatment regarding focus and time, such as lectures, talks and art therapy sessions. If we consider this evidence, then it seems a good reason to check out mindfulness for yourself and see if meditation could be something for you to try.     A definition of mindfulness Mindfulness has been described as a “non-elaborative, non-judgmental awareness” of present moment experience.3 Maybe you have heard of Zen, it´s very closely related to the mindfulness approach. In general mindfulness techniques can be divided into two styles: focused attention "Focused attention is associated with maintaining focus on a specific object, often the changing sensation or flow of the breath or an external object. When attention drifts from the object of focus to a distracting sensory, cognitive or emotional event, the practitioner is taught to acknowledge the event and to disengage from it by gently returning the attention back to the object of meditation".3 open monitoring "By contrast, open monitoring is associated with a non-directed acknowledgement of any sensory, emotional or cognitive event that arises in the mind. Zen meditation is considered to be one form of open monitoring practice. While practicing open monitoring, the practitioner experiences the current sensory or cognitive ‘event’ without evaluation, interpretation, or preference".3   Many guided meditation programs consist of a mix of those two styles. Often changing from one to the other within a meditation session. I also think that it’s really important to know that clinical research into mindfulness has been going on since the early 1980s. For me this means that there is a good scientific evidence for using meditation techniques detached from religious beliefs or dogma for health purposes.   How to start There is plenty of good content on the Internet available for free, simply search for mindful meditation.

How does spiritual practice work when we are out in the world and not around those who are committed to being loving all the time? Eventually, we discover that everything is love. Mirabai tells her story of life after the passing of Neem Karoli Baba in 1973. Leaving her community in India, Mirabai asked the question, “How can you be in a world you are not creating and still go where there is no love?” Finding direction in the wisdom of her guru, Mirabai set out on a journey that took her and her family across the world. In her journey, she experienced and learned to see love in everyone. Learning that there really is no them and us. Instead, it is all just us and everything is love. “Never go where there is no love” – Neem Karoli Baba.
