Calming the Mind with Michel Pascal
from A Teaspoon of Healing Hosted by Dawn DiMare
On this episode, I am joined by Michel Pascal, meditation teacher and singer. Michel resided at the Kopan Monastery in the Himalayas, where he studied under the late Buddhist master Chepa Dorje Rinpoche before moving to the US. He has written 20 books and, along with the Amity Foundation, created the first meditation program designed to reintegrate “lifers” (people who have spent 15+ years incarcerated) back into society after prison. He has also performed at Carnegie Hall since 2016. We discuss overthinking, which can lead to burnout, anxiety, depression, and other mental conditions. By calming our mind, we can feel immediately better and reverse the ill effects of overthinking. Michel details why learning how to quiet and calm our minds helps us to increase our focus and achieve inner peace. He describes the importance of integrating meditation into our daily lives. We often think that meditation is something that should only be done in a peaceful surrounding, but Michel emphasizes why learning how to meditate within stressful situations is essential.
