Kathy Frankel is a long time meditator. In this episode we have a grounded and meaningful discussion on how meditation has transformed Kathy’s life:
- Spirituality as determining the kindest, clearest, most ethical course of action
- Kathy’s origin story— finding meditation on retreat and the transformational power of that experience
- Experiencing for yourself as a source of truth
- The awareness and healing power of finally seeing the patterns of our own mind, or monkey mind, as uncomfortable as that may be
- When the student is ready, the teacher arises — doing the internal work making us ready for the teacher or resource we need
- Depression as a numbing, a not-feeling, and how meditation helped Kathy when other means did not
- Kathy’s commitment to activism and protest work, and how meditation keeps her grounded when things feel upside down
“For one thing, I don’t feel depressed anymore, because I realized that for me, depression was just a cover of things I as actually feeling, but didn’t want to admit.”
— Kathy Frankel
“Mine was emotional depression, not chemical depression. More like a black cloud. Once I realized I could watch my mind, when I could see the patterns of the mind, they weren’t always pleasant to see, but I wasn’t hiding from it anymore. So the depression was gone. If I hadn’t done meditation, I don’t think it would have gone away.”
— Kathy Frankel
“I’m trying to find a way to maintain compassion and kindness for people who don’t believe the way I do, yet at the same time, point out that this is not right. I think it’s one of the most important parts of my practice right now. ”
