Episode 51 · Series 3 — A Year of Body, Speech & Mind With Cyndi Lee · Dr. Jeff Dussek · Geshe Tenzin Wangyal · Alejandro Chaoul-Reich This conversation brings together leaders in contemplative science, integrative medicine, and Tibetan meditation to explore how embodied awareness supports healing, resilience, and meaningful change in daily life. Through personal stories and grounded practice insights, the dialogue turns toward the body as a source of wisdom, the voice as a bridge between inner and outer worlds, and the mind as a space of openness, compassion, and creative response. The guests reflect on pain, health, burnout, and belonging through the lenses of Tibetan yoga, neuroscience, emotional awareness, and micro-practices drawn from lived experience and years of research. What emerges is a simple but challenging invitation: to meet experience directly — in the body, in relationship, and in community — and to allow practice to shape how we move into the future. Featured themes include: Embodied awareness, somatic presence, and mind–body integration Pain, illness, and healing within contemplative and medical contexts Tibetan yoga, meditation, and everyday micro-practices Emotional awareness, compassion, and nervous-system regulation Contemplative science, neuroscience, and lived spiritual practice Listen, subscribe, and explore more conversations and resources at cybersangha.net.
