Ep. 158, Yielding as a Way of Life: Embodied Awareness and Intentional Response w/Jeff Patterson
Description
In this episode, I sit down with Jeff to talk about meditation, awareness, and the art of yielding—physically, mentally, and emotionally. We explore how yielding helps us respond to stress and conflict with intention instead of resistance, and how meditative practices can be woven into everyday life.
Jeff shares insights on the Five Regulations of meditation, why distractions are part of the practice, and how awareness of the body, breath, and energy supports overall well-being. This conversation is a grounding reminder that meditation isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence, consistency, and learning to move through life with ease.
