Interviews on The Everyday Sublime

Interviews on Josh Summers' podcast, The Everyday Sublime: Shedding Light on Yin Yoga and Mediation.

David Barash: Buddhism and Biology

September 30, 2021

Everyday Sublime Podcast - Hosted by Josh Summers

“We do not confront the world; rather, the world confronts itself, temporarily masquerading as each of us.” – David Barash

Robert Wright: Existential Psychological Threats

August 2, 2021

Everyday Sublime Podcast - Hosted by Josh Summers

“I would say that cognitive empathy is a strength that needs to be built, cognitive empathy being the ability to look at things from the perspective of other people. And one thing the explain-excuse conflation does is undermine cognitive empathy.” – Robert Wright

Lauri Glenn: Self-Compassion in Practice

July 26, 2021

Everyday Sublime Podcast - Hosted by Josh Summers

“When we meet difficulty with a kind and loving heart, compassion naturally arises. Often easy to feel for others, self-directed compassion can get blocked by old belief patterns and cultural conditioning. However, self-compassion can be awakened through a few simple steps that echo the Four Noble Truths.” – Lauri Glenn

Linda Modaro: Spiritual Friendship and the Development of View

June 24, 2021

Everyday Sublime Podcast - Hosted by Josh Summers

“So much can go bongo tingo in conversations, what with misunderstandings and mixed intentions… and yet, so much can go right to the heart of the matter. Bringing our meditation sittings into a conversation with another person changes the conversation to a relationship – one of developing trust, care, and collaboration. The Dharma is between us.” – Linda Modaro

Robert Wright: More Dharma of Bob

May 27, 2021

Everyday Sublime Podcast - Hosted by Josh Summers

“It’s hard to build coherent international governance on a foundation of incoherent nations. An America lacking in cohesion, divided along red-blue lines, won’t have the political will to do ambitious, politically difficult things. Such as: crafting and then participating in new forms of international cooperation designed to prevent things like pandemics, environmental calamities, and arms races in space or in bioweapons or in AI.” – Robert Wright

Dr. Ellen Langer: Mindfulness Without Meditation

May 13, 2021

Everyday Sublime Podcast - Hosted by Josh Summers

“Social psychologists argue that who we are at any one time depends mostly on the context in which we find ourselves. But who creates the context? The more mindful we are, the more we can create the contexts we are in. When we create the context, we are more likely to be authentic. Mindfulness lets us see things in a new light and believe in the possibility of change.” – Dr. Ellen Langer

Howard Axelrod: The Point of Vanishing

April 29, 2021

Everyday Sublime Podcast - Hosted by Josh Summers

During his junior year of college, a tragic accident during a game of pick-up basketball disrupted Howard Axelrod’s course in life. As a way to make sense of himself and of life, Howard did what I’ve only fantasized of doing: He went to live in the woods, in utter solitude, for a very long time.

Jenny Odell: How To Do Nothing

April 15, 2021

Everyday Sublime Podcast - Hosted by Josh Summers

“To me, the only habit worth ‘designing for’ is the habit of questioning one’s habitual ways of seeing, and that is what artists, writers, and musicians help us to do.” – Jenny Odell

Robert Wright: Averting the Apocalypse

April 1, 2021

Everyday Sublime Podcast - Hosted by Josh Summers

The rapid acceleration of technological evolution paired with the slower evolution of human psychology poses a serious existential threat. Will human psychology evolve to avert the apocalypse? Robert Wright has thoughts to share.

Jessica Locke: Anti-Racism and Buddhist Practice

February 18, 2021

Everyday Sublime Podcast - Hosted by Josh Summers

“When everyone is doing better, everyone is doing better. And when life is precious, life is precious. Can we connect with this motivation?” -Jessica Locke

Vanja Palmers: A Mushroom in the Lotus

December 15, 2020

Everyday Sublime Podcast - Hosted by Josh Summers

Some people in the spiritual world say we don’t need crutches, or that we shouldn’t use crutches. This is true, we don’t need crutches; we don’t need zendos; we don’t need sesshins. But still, many seem to benefit from these supports.

Dr. Judith Blackstone: Healing Within Fundamental Consciousness

November 12, 2020

Everyday Sublime Podcast - Hosted by Josh Summers

From the safe experience of fundamental consciousness – a consciousness that is awake to, within and beyond the body – we can release and unburden the body’s holding of trauma within the fascia.

Robin Wang: Yinyang Theory in Chinese Thought

October 8, 2020

Everyday Sublime Podcast - Hosted by Josh Summers

When two things interact, a third dynamic emerges. When two people come together a relationship emerges. When Yin and Yang come to harmony, a Third Way emerges as the Path.

Bernie Clark: Beyond the Binary

September 10, 2020

Everyday Sublime Podcast - Hosted by Josh Summers

“You’re flying the plane and have to figure out what works. We – teachers – are just ground control.”

Dr. Richard Schwartz: Healing the Internal Family

July 27, 2020

Josh Summers Podcast, yin yoga, meditation, teacher training, yoga podcast

“If you can be an inner Bodhisattva it’s much easier to be an outer Bodhisattva.” In other words, if we can relate to our inner world with care and tender compassion, it’s easier to relate to our outer world with care and tender compassion.

Dr. Judson Brewer: Saving Ourselves From Ourselves

June 29, 2020

Josh Summers Podcast, yin yoga, meditation, teacher training, yoga podcast

With regard to coming to a better understanding of addiction, “we need to learn how to de-stigmatize the human condition.” Whether the addiction is to alcohol, nicotine, smartphones, this interview with Dr. Judson Brewer holds many insights for our individual and collective freedom.

Loch Kelly: Neuroscience of Non-Dual Mindfulness

June 15, 2020

Josh Summers Podcast, yin yoga, meditation, teacher training, yoga podcast

Loch Kelly explains the relationship between two distinct neural structures in the brain: The Default Mode Network and the Task Positive Network. Learn how non-dual mindfulness harmonizes these two networks, priming your mind for greater creativity and flow.

Loch Kelly: Self-Realization and Self-Detox

June 1, 2020

Josh Summers Podcast, yin yoga, meditation, teacher training, yoga podcast

“Let’s introduce the solution before we tackle the problem. Let’s introduce what can bear what seems unbearable – then we can deal with what [seems] unbearable.” – Loch Kelly

Loch Kelly: Everywhere, Nowhere, and Here

May 18, 2020

Josh Summers Podcast, yin yoga, meditation, teacher training, yoga podcast

“What shifts is not you the meditator, not you the doer, not you the seeker or the small self… the beginning is to invite your already awake awareness which is identified [with something] to separate itself out. Let awareness be aware of the space from the space.” – Loch Kelly

Loch Kelly: The Way of Effortless Mindfulness

May 4, 2020

Josh Summers Podcast, yin yoga, meditation, teacher training, yoga podcast

“From the cloud [of egoic, thought-based identity] we can drop below it, we can shift above it, or behind it, or to the side of it, to discover that we are also the sky.” – Loch Kelly

Paul Grilley: Psychology, Spirituality, and Yin Yoga

April 20, 2020

Josh Summers Podcast, yin yoga, meditation, teacher training, yoga podcast

“My approach and my goal in my religious practices is to have a mystical experience. I do not believe that I need to be a perfect human being before I have that mystical experience. I believe that you can have a mystical experience as an imperfect human being.” – Paul Grilley
