Listen "🎙️ Episode 14: The Five Remembrances – Making Friends with Our Fears"
Episode Synopsis
Subtitle: Mindfulness, Mortality, and Living FullyWelcome back to The Potent Mind! In today’s episode, we explore The Five Remembrances, a profound practice from Buddhist psychology that helps us face life’s most universal realities: aging, illness, death, and separation from what we hold dear. At its heart lies a liberating truth — that our actions are our true possessions, shaping the life we live.Drawing on Thích Nhất Hạnh’s teaching, we’ll see how these remembrances become a bell of mindfulness, helping us make friends with our fears while opening us to the wonder of the present moment.We’ll talk about cultivating a wise mind — no judgments, no spins, just the facts — and learning to accept the impermanence of everything. This shift allows us to let go of anxiety about what we cannot control and to focus instead on living meaningfully, with clarity and confidence.Along the way, we’ll explore how mindfulness pairs with relaxation practices like deep breathing and meditation, since we learn and heal best in a relaxed state. The result: fewer negative emotions, more positive ones, and a greater sense of fulfillment in daily life.✨ Join us in this compassionate reflection on how mortality can deepen our vitality and appreciation for life.Tags: mindfulness, five remembrances, Thích Nhất Hạnh, impermanence, mortality, emotional healthHashtags: #Mindfulness #Impermanence #ThichNhatHanh #FiveRemembrances📌 Thanks for listening to The Potent Mind.🎧 Subscribe for weekly insights on mindfulness, neuroplasticity, and conscious living.🌐 Learn more and access free resources at www.thepotentmind.com💬 Have a question or reflection?
