Teachers Are Everywhere . . . Including in Your Mirror
About this episode
The episode explores the concept of teachers in our lives and encourages self-reflection on their influence.
'TEACHERS' (aka those we learn from) . . . are everywhere, and always have been. Consider the people you've encountered while traveling along the path(s) of your life -- both in your past and those who are here now. Try to clear your mind of feelings of attachment and/or aversion and ask yourself, with an openly honest heart: “What has this person and/or situation taught me? How have they influenced me, enabling me to be the best person I am today?" Be patient with this, allow contemplation . . . perhaps you will experience an expanding clarity through which you see and appreciate your teachers (and yourself) with increasing -- and profoundly empowering -- understanding(s). (Length: 13 minutes) The Elegant Mind is presented by Mark Winwood of the Chenrezig Project, with music composed and performed by the renowned SF Bay-area musician Bobby Vega.
