In this episode of the Integral Health Resources Podcast, I get on the floor so that I can get some sleep. Topics include:

• Unwinding
• Somatic/Body-oriented practices
• “Resisting what is happening is a major cause of suffering” – Pema Chodron
• Engaging with electronic media in a healthy manner

Summary:

Buddhist teacher Pema Chodron recently said the following: “Resisting what is happening is a major cause of suffering”. This realization has helped me to sleep better at night, to be more at ease in my body and mind, and to engage in a less compulsive way with electronic media. Partly based on this realization, I have developed a body-oriented practice that I refer to as “unwinding.” I try my best to describe this idiosyncratic practice and discuss some of its benefits.

Here are some other media resources that may be helpful/relevant to this discussion:
