Dharma and Phish

It all starts here!  We discuss our first Phish shows since three-year retreat and COVID; address the discomfort  of starting a meditation practice, and how that’s the same discomfort we are usually trying to distract ourselves from (hint: the distraction doesn’t actually help); and introduce the Buddha’s first teaching, The Four Noble Truths, and some ways we can apply it in life and at a concert.Support the showOur website is lamataboot.com, Instagram: @lamataboot, and YouTube: @lamatabootFind Lama Adam at lamaadam.com.  His nonprofit is Mindfulness For Life at mindfulness-for-life.org and on Instagram @mindfulnessforlifeorg.  One-on-one coaching and consulting with Lama Adam is available, and helps to support MFL's mission of bringing free, trauma-informed mindfulness and mediation to underserved communities.  Find Lama Mitchell on Instagram @lamamitchellsingletary.  His band Humid Subtropic is on Instagram @humidsubtropic, and listen to their new live album wherever you stream your music.  The Cheetah House is an organization that offers help for meditators in distress.  If you've experienced adverse effects from meditation, we recommend connecting with the Cheetah House community.
