When Your Mind Runs Wild, Listen to Your Heart : A Dharma Talk with Dr. Cheryl

Imagine having no anxiety ever again. Imagine having no sadness, despair, or grief ever again. No anger, hatred or even irritability. Is it possible to be liberated from suffering? It doesn’t mean we don't get sick and die or that we never break a bone or have a headache or pain. But it is possible that the human body could be in physical pain while the mind is fresh, calm, bright, and aware.  In today’s episode of Sex, Love, and Elephants, you’re invited to hear my recent Dharma Talk given at a meditation retreat that I taught. Our minds can often default to crazy monkey brain, but underneath that is a type of compassion and kindness and wisdom that can help us be better human beings and better partners. Tune in and learn all about the monkey and the elephant—and our egos, hearts, and minds.  In This Episode, You Will Learn: This week’s LoveByte (02:35) The difference between the monkey and the elephant (20:14) You can’t hate or punish the monkey, even when it’s your instinct to do just that (21:23) Our essential nature is the wise, kind, compassionate, and all knowing elephant (37:11) Our concerns, worries, fears, and even grief are ultimately nothing in the vastness of compassion and wisdom (42:31) If you've suffered trauma in your life that’s still being carried, it’s never too late to let it go (50:28) Interested in the 2023 session of my Become Passion 12-week online immersion program for couples?
