<p>In Episode 601 of the Passion Struck podcast, host John R. Miles sits down with renowned Tibetan Buddhist meditation master, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, for a conversation that will stay with you long after it ends. Known for his radiant smile, open heart, and profound clarity, Rinpoche shares a perspective on emotional healing and inner peace that turns conventional thinking upside down.</p><p>Rather than offering a roadmap to “fix yourself,” Rinpoche invites us to explore the idea that we already possess what we need. Drawing from his early life struggles with severe panic attacks, he shares how fear became his greatest teacher—an unlikely but powerful path to awakening.</p><p>Click here for the full show notes: </p><p>The conversation explores core themes like:</p><ul><li>Why pain isn’t the enemy, but a guide</li><li>The illusion of needing to "earn" mattering or self-worth</li><li>How awareness and compassion are not destinations—but your natural state</li><li>The power of micro-moments to create deep transformation</li><li>How to move from “I matter” to “we matter” in a fractured world</li></ul><p>As Rinpoche explains, “Awareness doesn’t mean we get rid of thoughts or pain. It means we learn to hold them with kindness.” It’s a radical reframe—one that reminds us healing is not about becoming someone else, but about coming home to who we’ve always been.</p><p>For more information on Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche - <a href="https://tergar.org/yongey-mingyur-rinpoche" target="_blank">https://tergar.org/yongey-mingyur-rinpoche</a><br> </p><p> </p>
