In this conversation, Edy and Narayan discuss the impact of personal experiences – the impact of the past on the present – that shape one’s understanding of life and spirituality. The conversation delves into the transformative power of grief, even as one loses relationships, loses their way, and leaves behind family expectations. Narayan shares about her training as a meditation teacher and the importance of being present in the moment. Edy and Narayan explore the concept of healing without relying solely on narrative and instead embracing one’s allies and personal strengths, along with stillness, movement, and the present moment.
Narayan Helen Liebenson is an Insight Meditation Society Emeritus Guiding Teacher, and has been a teacher at the Cambridge Insight Meditation Center since its inception in 1985. She has studied in the United States and Asia with meditation masters in the Theravada, Zen, and Tibetan traditions.
