Ep37: Pandemic - Shinzen Young
Shinzen Young – meditation teacher, neuroscience researcher, and author of ‘The Science of Enlightenment’ – is my featured guest in this episode of the Guru Viking Podcast: Pandemic Series.
This is a special series of the Guru Viking Podcast to support those affected by the pandemic.
I ask my guests questions like how to work with anxiety, fear, and panic? How to work with isolation? How to work with sickness and death? And how to help others having those experiences?
Fear, sickness, death are perennial human experiences, and so my hope is that these episodes will be of use not only to those who are being affected now in this situation, but also of use to others beyond it.
