In this grounding and reflective episode, Miki Byrne guides listeners into one of Buddhism’s most essential teachings: the Middle Way : the sustainable path between extremes. Through personal stories from her sobriety journey, modern examples of burnout culture, and wisdom from Thich Nhat Hanh, Miki explores how balance becomes a radical act in a world that demands all-or-nothing living.Listeners are invited to step out of binary thinking and into the tender middle: where discipline meets joy, effort meets ease, and caring for others coexists with boundaries. A guided mindful walking meditation helps embody this practice, whether done with real footsteps or through visualization.Featuring STATiC’s 174 Hz “The Moon’s Kiss” sound bath, this episode offers stress relief, nervous-system grounding, and a gentle invitation to return to center again and again.🌿 Episode NotesTheme: The Middle Way: sustainable living between extremesFocus: Balance, sobriety, nervous system regulation, mindful walking, non-dual thinkingSoundscape: 174 Hz “The Moon’s Kiss” Sound Bath by STATiC (for stress relief & grounding)Madhyamaka (The Middle Way) invites us to step off the pendulum swing of extremes.Balance is not compromise... it is wisdom in motion.Work/rest, discipline/joy, caring/boundaries are not binaries but rhythms.Sobriety can hold both structure and freedom without rigidity or chaos.Walking meditation embodies the delicate practice of losing and finding balance.💭 Reflection QuestionsWhere am I currently living in extremes?What binaries am I forcing myself to choose between?What would sustainable balance look like in this area of my life?How can I honor both/and instead of demanding either/or?✨ Closing ThoughtThe Middle Way isn’t a place you arrive.
