Zen teacher and mindfulness pioneer Fleet Maull joins me for a deep dive into neurosomatic mindfulness, bearing witness, and the science of awakening. We discuss plunge practices, time in prison, the nuances of running summits, and the shift from the 60s to the 90s in spiritual culture. Fleet shares insights on trauma, self-regulation, the five neural networks of enlightenment, and “practice stacking.” We also explore the balance between conceptual and embodied mindfulness, the pitfalls of spiritual materialism, and what neuroscience reveals about awakening. A thoughtful, full-spectrum conversation for meditators and seekers alike.

We will learn: How to understand the defining moments that got you here without placing blame. How to find presence, even when the present moment isn't where you want to be. The link between radical responsibility and mindfulness-based emotional intelligence.  Whose fault is it that you are the way you are? Or that you are where you are? We tend to get tunnel vision when things aren't going our way. But our limitations are all just perceptions. Instead of seeing them as roadblocks, we can choose to see what they're funneling us toward.  But how do we finally move beyond blame so that the wider perspective is our default? That's what we're talking about today. Our guest is Fleet Maull. Dr. Fleet Maull is an author and a renowned growth mindset teacher who delivers his training programs and seminars around the world both in-person and online through Heart Mind Institute. He's a meditation teacher and founder of the Prison Mindfulness Institute and National Prison Hospice Association, all while serving a 14-year mandatory-minimum federal drug sentence, 1985 to 1999.

[3:04] But I do feel really good about what I did with my time. While I was there, I was fortunate that I had a lot of skills and training and education before I went to prison, which kind of begs the question of why I ended up there. [3:16] I earned my way into that federal prison time, but when I got there, it was a huge wake-up call, especially because my son was nine years old at the time, and I realized he was not going to grow up without a dad. [3:45] When I went in, I had a master's degree and a very intense clinical trade three-year clinical training program, and I had been trained as a meditation teacher and a Buddhist teacher for ten years. [4:52] I had a strong background, and I was devastated over what I had done to myself and my family, especially my son. [5:06] I've lived this very disciplined life of a prison monk, getting up at four or five in the morning and practicing intensively. [5:33] When I arrived there, I realized that it was an incredibly negative environment and that everyone had their own victim story of one kind or another. [6:24] Naturally trying to survive, you tend to armor up with your own story and anger and bitterness. Unfortunately, that prevents us from accessing genuine regret and remorse for any harm we've created, which fuels the journey of transformation. [6:57] It was really clear to me that I didn't want to end up coming out of prison broken, angry and bitter, and I didn't want to live that way when I was in there. [7:11] I realized that the only way through and out for me was to embrace 200% responsibility for having got myself in there, what I was going to do with my time there, and what I would be able to create for myself if I was ever able to get beyond the prison journey. [7:22] I stepped out of prison and into a career as a management consultant and executive coach, leading turnarounds and transformative change processes in business. [8:32] My time in prison trained me how to work with people and how to be skillful under the most challenging situation. [10:45] There is a term called a pain paradox in psychology, where our natural instinct is to withdraw from pain. [11:15] But we all know through many disciplines, historically, across cultures into modern psychology, and everything that transformations on the other side of pain and that all the joy and transformation and possibilities on life are on the other side of it. [11:27] The thing that's so radical about radical responsibility is that it's the idea of embracing every circumstance we face in life. [12:00] We look at that not to blame ourselves at all, but simply for learning because once I see how it works and how I got from point A to B to C, I can make different choices in the future and get different results. [12:35] But then there are also situations and circumstances that we may feel we had nothing to do with, and everyone would agree it just fell out of the sky and landed on our heads, and those things may be incredibly unjust. [12:45] For ourselves, at some point, we question whether we are going to let it take us down, but here it is, and so I have to find some creative way to respond to it, transform it and move forward in my life. [13:02] Most of us associate things like responsibility and accountability with blame; we've all been enculturated into this culture of shame and blame. [14:06] It is simply about focusing my energy to do the most good, embracing my capacity for a creative response to life, and doing the best I can with that. [15:03] While I was in prison, I just focused on my practice and modelled it in terms of who I was, and people became attracted to it. [15:55] At some point early on, I also started corresponding with other prisoners. I realized it was a much bigger thing that I could do, so I started the prison Dharma network, primarily known as the prison mindful Institute. [16:12] We have a program called the path of Freedom, a mindfulness-based emotional intelligence training program for prisoners in 21 states in seven countries. [16:37] We have got involved in the whole criminal justice and public safety system that all grew out of being in a prison cell and saying, "What can I do to transform myself and to bring value to the world?" [17:18] I also have my whole for-profit business, where I am putting out summits and offering lots of online courses and online challenges that are basically in the realm of integration of mindset and so forth. [17:39] Growing up, nobody taught us anything about how to navigate the most complex system in the known universe: the human brain and nervous system. We didn't get much training on how to communicate with others. [18:42] My mindfulness and emotional intelligence training, all these things, are just kind of the basic toolkit for life. [18:55] Commercial break. [19:09] We have something called the autonomic nervous system that operates almost the whole of the human body, the human brain and the nervous system, and it has two branches. [21:01] The sympathetic branch upregulates and is about alertness, distress, and fighter flight, and the parasympathetic branch downregulates and is about relaxation, rest and recovery. [21:13] The problem is in the modern life, most of us have way too much sympathetic activation, and that's called stress. [21:36] Over time, that's the source of all the chronic stress-related illnesses, which diminishes the quality of life altogether. [22:06] A simple skill that you can learn is called strong breathing because our autonomic nervous system are connected with the breath. [22:21] When we breathe in, there's a slight sympathetic activation when we breathe out slight parasympathetic activation. [22:34] Straw breathing can be a lifesaver, and it is so simple anyone can learn it. You breathe into the nose with your mouth close, and then you breathe out through pursed lips. [23:06] One more thing that people can easily add to is 478 breathing, where you breathe in that fourth count, hold for seven counts, and then breathe out for the eighth count. [26:03] This idea of radical responsibility is not new, it has been around for a long time. [30:27] Marcus Aurelius said that most people feel their circumstances determine their destiny, but our response to those circumstances determines our destiny and even being able to respond to circumstances rather than being in just our condition reactivity. [30:32] Most of us walk around thinking we're autonomous, but we're highly mechanical, and so we need to embrace some practices to become more wakeful and more present. [31:04] Learning something like mindfulness and then embracing this idea of living our lives more in the driver's seat of our own life will transform any circumstance. [31:30] Regardless of the situation, looking for what I can do put you right back in the mind of solution-based thinking, and there is always a million different things we could do.

On today's episode of Awake & On Purpose Podcast, Jennifer speaks with Dr. Fleet Maull about our personal sovereignty and the responsibility that comes with that to be accountable to and for ourselves. They also discuss mindfulness as a growing movement, and of course, Fleet's incredible journey of growth and transformation which led him to become a thought leader in growth mindset. Indoctrination, polarization, why many people aren't proactive in their growth, and so much more are in today's episode, so be sure you don't miss it! That's interesting about what you said about learning to recognize truth, because that's always a difficult thing. Right? What is truth? And I do think the body is critical of that because the body has a lot of wisdom. And that's why I think the mindfulness movement is so important, because I think the more embodied we are, we can kind of generally recognize truth.

The notion of transmuting the difficult stuff in your life into something positive has become a cliche. Turning lemon into lemonades, making your mess your message, etcetera. But, as I have said many times on this show, there is a reason cliches become cliches: they're true. And it is extraordinarily helpful, in my experience, when someone can re-language and revivify an ancient truth that has been ground into platitude through rote repetition. My guest today does just that. Fleet Maull spent many years in prison on serious drug-related charges. He used that time to fuel a deep meditation practice and public service career. He's practiced for nearly five decades in the Zen, Tibetan, and Vipassana Insight traditions. He's also written a book called Radical Responsibility. In this episode, we talk about how to, in his words, turn the gnarly stuff in your life into a gift (or, as an old Buddhist expression has it, how to use your struggles as “manure for enlightenment”). On that note, midway through the interview, you'll hear Fleet reveal, in real time, and to my surprise, that he is actually in the throes of acute anguish at this very moment-- and he will talk about how this experience is fueling his practice. We also talk about: what he learned in prison about whether human nature is fundamentally good; the value of adding breathing exercises onto your meditation practice; what he means by “neurosomatic mindfulness.” Where to find Fleet Maull online:  Website: www.fleetmaull.com Social Media: • Twitter: https://twitter.com/fleetmaull • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fleetmaull/ • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fleetmaull/ • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL_AqFCn3m6lvQTJPIx_uLg Books Mentioned: • Radical Responsibility: How to Move Beyond Blame, Fearlessly Live Your Highest Purpose, and Become an Unstoppable Force for Good by Fleet Maull: www.radicalresponsibilitybook.com • Mindfulness and Psychotherapy edited by Christopher K.

Insights from this episode:Details on how a drug addiction and a counter-culture mentality led Fleet to being in prison for drug smuggling. Benefits federal prison afforded Fleet beyond improved facilities over county jail; perspective, compassion, and a focus on serving others.Difficulties Fleet has faced outside of prison including the loss of his parents, his wife, and, very recently, his son and the comfort his faith provides.How to find joy and positivity even in the worst circumstances by caring for others.Details on Fleet's mission to reform the prison system from punitive to rehabilitative and provide mindfulness training that extends beyond the prison walls.How to get started in practicing mindfulness and receive tangible benefits.Differences between Fleet's mindfulness training and other available programs.Quotes from the show:On why Fleet got into selling drugs: “I was doing it just to keep living outside the system and I justified it with this us versus them thinking … I was so self-deluded that I actually felt it was a noble calling.” – Fleet Maull“All my artifices of justification finally completely fell away and I had to face the fact that I had been involved in something extremely harmful.” – Fleet MaullOn how Fleet dealt going to prison: “I was practicing meditation and that was my salvation, to work with my mind in that way.” – Fleet MaullOn finding purpose: “[Prison] is a hellish place and I'm here for a reason.” – Fleet Maull“In my tradition, the transition from one life to the next, we believe there is further life and that transition is very important.” – Fleet Maull “We felt it very important to get mindfulness into mainstream rehabilitation programming and drug-treatment programming, and post-release programming, and so forth, to do that it had to be secular and it had to be evidence-based.” – Fleet Maull“I think this idea of mindfulness training and other work of the type that you've been involved with has got to be helpful for people that have high-stress jobs.” – Syd FinkelsteinOn why people struggle with practicing mindfulness: “They might get a few moments [of peace] but it's not tangible enough to outweigh all the distractions, the boringness of it, and the difficulty in doing it.” – Fleet Maull“The only place we have any power, that's with ourselves.” – Fleet Maull Resources:21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah HarariHow to Become a Straight-A Student: The Unconventional Strategies Real College Students Use to Score High While Studying Less by Cal NewportNeuro-Somatic Mindfulness course: www.heartmindinstitute.co/nsm-foundationThe Best Year of Your Life Summit (January 19 - 28)www.bestyear.lifeRadical Responsibility Book:www.radicalresponsibilitybook.comFleet's website:www.fleetmaull.comPrison Mindfulness Institute (mindfulness for prisoners):www.prisonmindfulness.orgCenter for Mindfulness in Public Safety (mindfulness for police):www.mindfulpublicsafety.orgEngaged Mindfulness Institute (trauma informed mindfulness teacher training):www.engagedmindfulness.org National Prison Hospice Associationwww.npha.orgStay Connected: Syd FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The Sydcast Fleet Maull Website: fleetmaull.comFacebook: Fleet MaullSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.

  Talk It Out Radio – Sunday, December 30, 7:00 pm, on KPFA Radio (94.1 FM Berkeley and beyond, or livestream at kpfa.org): Have you found yourself frustrated and horrified reading media statements like ” President Trump blames Democrats over deaths of Migrant Children in US Custody?”. Were you outraged when you heard that President Trump's tweeted his support for Brett Kavanaugh, who allegedly tried to rape Christine Blasey Ford in the 1980's and stated ” I have no doubt that if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents, Trump tweeted, blaming the victim of a sexual crime for not speaking up sooner. He was quoted as saying ” I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn the date, time and place!”  Have you felt troubled when you hear co-workers or management blame individuals based on their own personal bias or subjective evaluation for issues you believe are far more complicated because of the reality that most workplaces are not free of racial, class or gender inequality? Do you find yourself on the receiving end of blame in your primary partnership, or within core relationships in your family?  Talk it Out Radio host and co-producer, Nancy Kahn, examines the role of blame across different philosophical perspectives. Nancy, has 20 years experience as facilitator, consultant, trainer, mediator and practitioner of Nonviolent Communication Across Differences, shares practices that empower people to transform blame into opportunities for understanding, authentic self expression, empathic connection, dignity, inclusion and heightened awareness across social justice issues. Listen live or, after the show airs, visit the archives at kpfa.org/program/talk-it-out-radio or iTunes.
