The Path of Vast, Heart-Led Reception w/ Julynel

This is a nearly two-hour, spacious conversation between Julynel and IJulynel—Zen Buddhist practitioner, meditator, and mindful dialogue speaker.Julynel shares her path into Zen Buddhism, beginning with a life-shaping retreat at 22 years old in Oregon. We talk about lineage, discipline, and devotion to practice, including dyad meditation—a vocal, inquiry-based form of meditation rooted in koans and deep listening.We explore our morning rituals and daily practices—not as productivity hacks, but as ways of orienting the nervous system, the heart, and the mind. Meditation, breathwork, journaling, hydration, making the bed mindfully—small acts that become anchors for presence.A large thread in this conversation is about staying grounded while walking a spiritual path. How do we remain connected to the unseen without floating away from the body, the earth, and the very real world we live in? How do we become more embodied, not less, through practice?We also move into tender and complex territory around social justice and activism—particularly navigating anger, grief, and righteous rage in response to ICE, state violence, and protest. Julynel shares a powerful story of standing still in front of armed police as an act of love, and we explore what it means to resist without becoming consumed by hatred or violence.This is a conversation about balance:– transcendence and embodiment– discipline and softness– anger and Love– slowing down in a world that demands speedAs we talk about in this episode, a fast mind is a sick mind.This episode is intimate, contemplative, and honest—two practitioners sitting together in curiosity, humility, and mutual respect, asking how to live, practice, and Love forward in these times.Julynel Kerzner offers 1:1 coaching, and meditation sessions.
