"A stampede by soccer fans at a quarterfinals league match in El Salvador has left at least a dozen dead, and many more injured. The crush happened when fans pushed through one of the entrance gates at monumental stadium in kuska clan, one fan said one of the gates was closed too early, leaving many angry fans with tickets stranded outside. Those fans eventually knocked the gate down, play was suspended about 16 minutes into the match when fans in the stands waving frantically began getting the attention of those on the field. Dozens made it onto the field where they received medical treatments. Speaking at the scene, national civil police commissioner Mauricio ariza said there would be a criminal investigation into the incidents. Approximately 400 to 500 people gathered and in the eagerness to watch the game, sometimes wanted to open the gates, and when they opened it, a small forms, some of us call it a stampede.

Texas shooter's 'RWDS' patch linked to far-right extremists
"Authorities have not said what they believe might have motivated a man to shoot and kill 8 people at a Dallas area mall over the weekend, but one police official suggests that the shooter may have embraced the views of far right extremists. An official who wants to remain anonymous tells The Associated Press that social media accounts believed to have been used by 33 year old Mauricio Garcia appeared to have expressed an interest in white supremacist and neo Nazi views, Garcia was wearing a patch that read R wds short for right wing death squad. It's a phrase that has been embraced in recent years by far right extremists who glorify violence against their political enemies, one group that has adopted the term is the Proud Boys, smaller groups that participated in the white nationalist unite the right rally in Charlottesville Virginia in August 2017 were named right-wing death squad, Garcia, who opened fire at the mall on Saturday, was killed by a police officer.

Dubón shines against former team as Astros beat Giants 7-3
"Playing against the team that traded him last May for the first time, Mauricio Dubois finished with three hits, two RBI, and two runs scored in the ASTRO 7 to three win over the Giants. Dubois 7th inning RBI double broke a two two tie and started Houston's 5 running. I knew something I was going to have a big moment in the game. And I just didn't let the emotions get into me. Just put a good swing and do what I've been doing the whole, the whole season. The Astros needed their bullpen to record all 27 outs after starter Luis Garcia left after 8 pitches due to an elbow injury. Adam Spillane Houston

"Brilliant. I got a million more questions for you, but before I pass on the Lady Gaga thing, you said something, I know people at home are probably like, huh? She said, paparazzi proof. So obviously that's so paparazzi can't get in the house. But a home that is paparazzi proof, what does that mean? Well, it really just means that a paparazzi can't take a photo of your backyard from anywhere in the house. These celebrities, they don't want to be walking around in their pool. And gets nice knife. I mean, nobody wants that. So that's to me, that's paparazzi. And you're probably no paparazzi proof all day in and out with the people you're working. How dare me saying how does Mauricio differentiate 'cause the answer is every fucking thing does. All right, let's get into this. You said something about recessions that I think was really important. That's where you made your money. That's where you got aggressive. That's where you were taught to get aggressive. Again, you alluded the fact today. You're not recession. We're in a bad spot. Call it whatever the hell you want. You know, if I definition. We're calling it a regression right now. Yeah, but it's a regression for now. Whatever people want to call it, it's not pretty, right? It's not good. What type is so people that at home a lot of listeners here, right? They're not selling or buying a $10 million home, but they have real estate. What is your play right now given the recession? Do you get aggressive? Do you make plays? Do you step into the buying power you might have like you said one day you didn't. What's your tips and tricks for those people? I think they're starting to be some really great buying opportunities. Me myself individually, apart from being a broker as an individual, I'm starting to look at some more buying opportunities. So I'm starting to get excited about that. Despite the fact that the interest rates are high right now, one of the things that you have to understand up in interest rates is that they might be high. But when they go down, you can refinance. So to me, it's more about the buy than it is about the interest rate right now. If it goes down in 6 months, I refinance in 6 months, if it goes down in two years, I refinance in two years. It's relatively unimportant. As long as I can

I think when we look at the complexity that a lot of other businesses got into, I came down to incentives a lot of us, a lot of others in the space were on a mission to build up that biggest AUM they could as quickly as possible. And we're just taking a much longer term view. So we're excited to incrementally add things like the Bitcoin mortgage that we introduced last December. But we're never going to go crazy. We're always going to keep core to making sure that it's value to our clients. So you'll see a ship new things, but always in a thoughtful way. Anything else, Mauricio? Well, I can't spill the beans on the swan announcement, but you're making me want to. We'll have some pretty cool stuff to announce that so on. We've been keeping busy. You probably saw our new look and our new brand that we just announced not too long ago. But we are working on some pretty interesting Adam said new products and but always sort of making sure we're doing this very methodically and most importantly, sustainably. Because I think that is something that I think has kind of gone missing from the crypto or some of the crypto companies or platforms that were just a bit of a culture of exorcist in terms of they have raised so much money out of the gate and that just a lot of the times they were done through ICOs, which means a lot of people aren't accountable for that cash. So that creates a bit of a cultural traits within the company that are not great. And so we're very focused on just making sure everything is set up for the long term. You know, Adam and I put our capital our reputation on this business and we want to make sure that it stays here for as long as we do and more than some.

"And we're about to enter the biggest dollar demand period that I think we're going to see in my lifetime. And I think that the best suited people to get that there are either Ethereum or Solana, frankly, or even binance, binance chain, to basically just really, really grow on this distribution base. And now we're doing a big push in Latin America to basically let people know that these services exist and to educate them and to present our articulation of these services to them. And we're seeing people come to these services. And our token of choice because of transparency and just everything is USD C on Ethereum. And that's what we're providing to our clients. We obviously are looking to do more and help them to get dollars in the easiest way they can. But that's what we've been doing. And that's how we're contributing to this movement. Yeah. At the end of the day, this outrageous teeter totter between demand and not demand for dollars is a function of a totally fucked up monetary base and I think one of my closing comments is we just need a new base layer metric of value. Q Bitcoin, man. And this merge thing just has me thinking that now this is really out in the open seas exploring a frontier completely on its own. There's no other ship in sight. It's very buoyant and a very robust ship that being Bitcoin, but it's rough seas, man, but it is on its own. Christopher Columbus right now is just seeing what's out there. I'm gonna jump on your analogy here and say, we can't assume this is the Titanic ever, though, like be diligent, try to veer away from those guys for icebergs. You can't fuck around. We do have enough lifeboats, but we don't want to hit a fucking iceberg. Amen. Mauricio, we could we hit like a third of what we wanted to talk to today. We want to be respectful of your time. We know you gotta run, but man, we'll cut you loose. We'll have you on again 'cause we could go for many more hours right now. It's hard to leave this, but hey. Hey man, don't worry. I can do 20 more minutes if you guys want. Sure, let's go for a little longer if you've got it. Yeah, yeah, no worries. I want to double back to lending. Internationally. Like, what is the significance of people being able to access dollars at rates that may seem high to you when you're looking at your mortgage, but in terms of accessing dollars is actually quite cheap and maybe the mind of a Venezuelan like what's the significance of this? How is this nation in their mind and freedom inducing? I'm so happy you asked that question. So there's this concept in economics, like I was telling you that debt is bad. But in fact, most people with a mortgage have done tremendously well in their lives. And so that isn't bad. If you can get debt at a rate that is below inflation and buy an asset with that debt, you are going to do very well. Very well.

"That is much easier to understand for someone that is in need and doesn't have a time to go read Andreas antonopoulos book. Man, this is a really important theme. And mildly controversial in the maxi space because there's people out there going, why would you guys ever talk about stablecoins? We only talk about Bitcoin. Most of the people saying that have access to dollars, right? If you're talking heavy shit about USD C and you're out swiping your Chase credit card everywhere and you've never thought about any difficulty accessing the world's currency, right? Because you have unlimited access to USD, then it's kind of unfair for you to be throwing stones. I really respect gladstein. I mean, you could say glad scene is one of the most principal Bitcoin forward thinkers out there. And he's spent enough time around the world and in the human rights context to understand the world runs on dollars. People need dollars. It's cute to sit here and talk about everything's going to Bitcoin. And that very well may happen. And there's a good chance that maybe 30 years from now, Venezuelans will light up to Bitcoin just the way they do to U.S. dollars right now. But to participate, you need dollars. And there are very few circular economies that work to keep your lights on and feed yourself and get paid and do everything in Bitcoin. There's basically none. So realistically, if you're plugged into the real world, you need access to the Fiat currency that works on the monetary network of the world, which is dollars. Mauricio, before we go, we have maybe like ten minutes left here. I really want to hear your opinion on the merge. So Ethereum, we're unstable coins and USD C runs on Ethereum. So you guys had to pause transactions in USD C on your platform because of this. So the transition as far as I'm understanding it seems to have gone pretty smoothly. Things are working all right, at least for now. But to me, this is almost indicative of what we spoke about earlier, which is in the short term, this seems great. We're using less energy. All these ESG considerations were making all these politicians happy were petting them. But we don't know the long-term security implications of this. There's a lot of decentralization or centralized issues that can propagate from this. Regular people like you and I like Dan and I at least aren't going to be running a note because it's so complex and overbearing. Talk to us a little bit about what your opinion on this is, how this is going to play out in the short term and potential issues that it could arise in the longer term. Yeah, I think it's a good question. So given the complexity, no matter where in the fence you sit about the merge, the fact that it went down so smoothly is a testament to the work that these guys have put in because they literally switched the engine on a plane while it was mid flight. And so I think the first thing to acknowledge is that this was a big technological feat and probably a pretty significant event in crypto if you want to call it outside of Bitcoin. Maybe I'll separate the implications to the end user versus the implications to potentially like an operator or a company in this space or somebody that's more involved in this space. Most end users don't really care what block shared their dollars running on. They just want dollars. And they want to transact them fast and they want to transact them cheap.

"And there is one particular flag that I use, which is any new president, regardless of the platform. You may think he's popular this I may not think he's populist. Anybody that upon election or runs on the campaign of rewriting the constitution. Be wary of anybody trying to rewrite the constitution. It happened in Chile just now. They just voted no for their new constitution. But a new candidate who ran on the promise of rewriting the constitution won. And the first thing that it was running in parallel before the election. But he tried again. And again, you know, I'm not the only one doing this. If you go look at the Chilean peso chart, and you look at the date that he got elected, the pestle is off a cliff, like nobody wanted to hold the peso. The second this constitution was a no vote, the person recovered. Wow. But the guy immediately said, like any good president that runs on a campaign like that does, that that wasn't the end of it. That he would try once again to rewrite the constitution. And you always try to rewrite the constitution not on the premise that you want more power. You always rewrite it on, oh, these are safety. Crazy, unfair things that are happening, look at this environment getting destroyed or look at the rights of these people that they don't have them and most of those things can be fixed by a bill. But no, no, you want to rewrite the whole shabazz. And so and it's not, to me, rewriting of the constitution is a big flag. No matter when it happens, it's a big flag. And the other one is the destruction of the institutions. So in Venezuela, it didn't happen overnight. In Venezuela first day, destroyed the National Assembly. Then they started changing the rules on how the congressman got elected. Then they started changing the weights of certain cities for representation. So they over indexed where they would win and under indexed what they'd had when they had a minority. Yeah, Mauricio, what was the time frame of these events, like from one to the next? Was it a fairly short period of time? Was it an extended period of time? So it was a bit of a slow death in the sense that the first one was a rewriting of the constitution. But again, all of these events, you have to take them in the context of what's happening to society in this moment, right? Because he presents this idea of rewriting the constitution with oil is starting to rip. So there's money on the streets. Everybody feels good. This guy just got elected. There's like a warm fuzzy feeling in the U.S. when they elected Obama. Everybody felt united and free and this is a plan that we can all get behind. And that's what people bring their guard down.

"Time on the show this week. You may remember we talked with the meditation teacher Don Mauricio about getting out of our heads and being mindful of our bodies. Of course, for many of us, the body, it can be a tricky place given how we might have a tendency to criticize how we look. So we've brought Don back for an antidote to the kind of body hostility the culture can drill into us. A little bit about Don, she discovered meditation in 2005 and from then on did what any well intended perfectionist would do. She plunged in head first, she went on to graduate from spirit rocks four year teacher training and now teaches in her home country of Canada as well as in the United States. So here we go now with Don Mauricio. Hi, this is Don. Maybe you've used phrases of goodwill to practice loving kindness meditation before. Today, we're going to drop the phrases and instead focus on connecting with the sensations in your body that arise with loving kindness. Let's begin. Set yourself up in a posture that expresses the loving kindness you have or wish to have. It can be seated, reclined, or leaning up against something for support. Close your eyes, if you like. Invite your body to relax and be at rest. You can do that by either taking a few full breaths and letting them out with audible size or big exhales. Bring to mind a time when you felt a moment of connection. Moreth. Expansion and settling. No matter how brief that moment was, notice what feelings are sensations in your body arise as a result. Whether the sensations are obvious or barely there. There's no right or wrong way to experience it. It's normal for the feeling of loving kindness to wane. When that happens, simply bring up the image you use to inspire the feelings of loving kindness. To reignite your experience. Relax your effort so that other people are being passed through your mind. If this hasn't already happened, whoever shows up is welcome. Imagine radiating in their direction. Or sharing with them your sensations of loving kindness. Now, imagine that this group of people have

"Direct way to tune into how we are made of earth wind fire and water. You know, that's another way to remind ourselves that we are not separate. And then also like as part of this, if I'm talking about some of the things that are in this teaching of mindfulness of the body, you mentioned mindfulness of the breath, that's often the doorway in, or that's maybe the most common doorway in. I would say, but I like to simplify mindfulness of the body as mindfulness of sensations, which you alluded to already where even when we're tuning into the breath, we're noticing if the body expands or contracts if it's hot or cold, et cetera, as it breathes. Then there's also like daily life or postures, just the postures we're in or positions, and so the Buddha taught that we could meditate, seated, standing, walking, or lying down. And even though meditate and air quotes, people can think of the formal practice, but if we loosen our idea of meditation into being just as mindful as we can as much as we can, well, we're in those four postures pretty much all the time. For people who exercise, like running is just really fast walking. And so you can be mindful of that instead of listening to music or whatnot. If you go to the gym and you squat, it's like you're almost seated. So that's one of the postures and then you go back to standing or it's just this really vibrant or alive practice or can be mindfulness of the body. Yes, a point, then a final question. The point is, we've been talking about a lot of the sort of profound implications of being out of your head and in your body that it can help you usefully deconstruct your emotions that it can show you that it's all nature and that you're not separate from the rest of the world. These can be hard to grasp. But at a very, very, very simple level. It can also just give you a break from the swirling stories, the chaos and cacophony of the mind. And don't discount that. So the final question for me is, well, the final question before I ask my two closing questions that I almost always ask. So the final question before those two is I know you wanted to talk a little bit about a caveat here for people who've experienced trauma and that for those folks, there may be some things to bear in mind when listening to the body. So I just want to give you an opportunity to talk about that. Yeah, we mentioned it a little bit already throughout this interview or this episode, but even though mindfulness of the body is the first foundation as we talked about earlier, it's not the only way in, it's not a necessary way in either. So for folks who have a hard time being in the body because of trauma or abuse or whatever the reason to not force ourselves to go there because that could actually be activating or triggering and on top of that, you know, we've been talking about just like, oh, there are messages from the body, listen in, there's a lot of wisdom. And all of that, it's like generally speaking, because folks who have had abuse or trauma in their past and it's somehow knowingly or unknowingly in their body still, it's hard to discern the messages just because we might have needed to dissociate from the body in different ways in order to survive or whatnot. And so it can be really hard to trust the body. And so in those cases, I think little by little and working with someone, whether it's a meditation mentor or a therapist, a somatic experiencing practitioner, something like that can help shift the relationship to the body. And you may not ever spend time practicing in this way, and that's okay too. You know, so I just don't want folks to think that, okay, I got to do those things book an appointment with my therapist, try out somatic experiencing and I mean, you can if you're curious about it, but it is not by any means and obligation. And this is the beauty of this practice. You can totally get all of the benefits this practice has to offer with any of the other foundations of mindfulness and so many other parts of this practice. Yeah, that's maybe the encouragement or disclaimer or however you want to word it. To not let this teaching of mindfulness of the body limit you or your access to this beautiful practice in any way. I'm glad you said that. So here are the two questions I often ask at the end of an interview. One is, is there something I should have asked, but didn't? I feel like the answer is yes. Because it's such a deep teaching, but what is that question? I don't know. So we know you fucked up Harris, but we don't know how. Exactly. Okay, so fair enough. Always happy to have my fallibility pointed out. Here's the second question, which is, can you please, for people who want to learn more from you, remind us, I know you've written a book. You've got digital assets you've put out into the world, resources. Can you please plug all of that? Okay, all of that. That will be a challenge. So I mean, easiest place my website, Don Mauricio dot com. The book can be found there as well, which is called mindfulness meditation for beginners. And I have started putting up some guided meditations on

"And I thought it would be incredibly helpful because I certainly felt alienated that I'm on this meditation retreat and I'm freaking out like that is the opposite of what most people would expect would happen. Yeah, so it kind of inspired by that moment. I'm just like, I'm going to lay it all out because this is how it's unfolding for me and over the years of practice, I don't feel like I'm any less worthy to do this practice because I can be a hot mess at times do you still experience panic or anxiety and when you do how does mindfulness of the body help if at all? Yeah, so I don't err in panic zone as much as before, which I'm so grateful for. And I think the reason for that is because of this practice of mindfulness of the body. And I do hang out in anxiety a bunch more than I'd like. I'm such a sucker for when I'm booking flights for teaching gigs and it says two seats left at this price. I get so anxious. But anyways, and so then what I can do is, I feel the anxiety, I feel that it's quite unpleasant. And so anxiety, maybe it's different for a lot of people, but it's shortness of breath. My main thing is like so tight in the chest. And then my mind starts racing. So those are often my clues. And then what I try to do is step away from whatever it is that is giving me anxiety and then I might tune into something that I see, something I hear. So circling through the senses, something I smell, I taste, and I feel in the body. And then that immediacy coming to this moment kind of snatches me from the worrying, the tunnel of worry that anxiety kind of builds around itself and then it's kind of like I have a little bit of a wider perspective of like, okay. And there's this and so then when I go back into whatever it is like booking that flight, it's no longer the end of the world. And I'm using that flight because yes, I do sometimes get anxious about that, but of course it could be anything. It's not the reason of anxiety that is important, but really how we meet that anxiety. So just to restate that because I have no stranger to anxiety myself. When anxiety arises, we can get out of our heads in that moment by cycling through the raw data of our senses. What are my eyes taking in? What's my nose taking in, my ears? What's happening in my body? And that can create some space around the story. Yeah. I wouldn't even say if we can, you know, look out the window, look up to the sky. I remember after that retreat where I got all those panic and anxiety attacks, I was so nervous about my next retreat. I was just so like, I don't want this to happen again. And I remember speaking to my therapist and we were kind of troubleshooting ways and one of the things she suggested is if you can, as soon as you can, you know, we might not always be able to extract yourself from a situation, but as soon as we can look up at the sky, and in the moment, if we can extract ourselves, what I like to do is my hands on my legs and I kind of squeeze my legs just to get me, again, as we talked about, say, at the beginning of this, from my head, so I feel it really above my shoulders, like that's where all the energy is, and then when I squeeze my thighs with my hands, it just reminds me to drop my attention lower into my body. Yeah, because anxiety feeds on itself when you're just stuck with all the bats in the belfry and not in any way connected to the tower that supporting the thing. Yeah, exactly. And I bring up the idea that we can always extract ourselves, partly because I saw you maybe a week and a half ago and I saw you replayed your video of when you had your anxiety attack or panic attack on camera and you couldn't just get up mid sentence and look out the window and plus you were in New York and so I don't know if that would have been resourcing anyway, but that's not the case for everyone where we can easily just get up like that. More of my conversation with Don Mauricio after this. I'm going to ask you a question that's going to sound like a bit of a non sequitur, but it's following up on something you said a while ago about using sound as the object of our meditation instead of focusing on our breath, which is often

"Mauricio, welcome back to the show. Yeah, really great to be back. Great to have you back. You're the lead guest in a four part series. We're doing on the four foundations of mindfulness. I thought maybe it would be smart to start with just a bit of an overview from your perspective on what this Buddhist listicle is all about. It is one that whole practice lives. And if you believe in more than one life, many lifetimes can be centered around the four foundations of mindfulness and then even at that just one of them as well. And so the first foundation is mindfulness of the body and that's what we'll talk about today. And then the second foundation is mindfulness of feeling tone and the poly word for it so poly is the language in which the teachings of the Buddha were written and that is vadena. And that is just our immediate categorization of pleasant, unpleasant and neither pleasant nor unpleasant. The third foundation is mindfulness of the mind and insane retreat settings or in even more secular settings. This can show up as teachings around mindfulness of emotions, mindfulness of thoughts. And when we go deeper into, say, Buddhist teachings, it can get more complex, like any of these, actually. One distinction I want to make is that the second foundation is mindfulness of feelings. I just mentioned mindfulness of emotions and those are different. And sometimes they get conflated. And then the last is mindfulness of the dama. And so this is often quite complicated and complex because it's so rich and there's so much depth to it. And so a lot of ways we just shorthanded and then it's like a huge core of the teachings that can be found in Buddhism can be clumped into the fourth foundation. Thank you for that tour through the four foundations of mindfulness and just to add a little bit. You talked about the difference between feelings and emotions. The second foundation is one where you are mindful of feeling tones, as you said, where you look at anything that comes up in your mind and is the flavor of it pleasant, unpleasant, or neither, you know, certain neutral. And so that is very different from the way in which we often describe our feelings or our emotions. And the common understanding of feelings or emotions, that would fall under the third foundation of mindfulness. And so that was one just little note I wanted to put in there. But just back to this list as a whole, I was intrigued by something you said right at the beginning, which is that we don't need to master this whole list. Our whole meditation practice in this life and if you believe in multiple lives over the course of a bunch of lives can be dedicated to just one of these. So the idea is that you can use mindfulness of your body and we'll talk more about what that means. And ride that all the way to enlightenment if you think enlightenment is the goal or a real thing. Yeah, exactly. And that concept or that understanding I find can be quite freeing because like you said, we don't have to master everything, but I would say the doorway in for a lot of people is mindfulness of the breath. But that's not always accessible for people or even being aware of the body. It's not always accessible for people for different reasons. And so it doesn't mean that all of a sudden that, well, then this practice isn't for you and go look for something else. Instead, there's so many other doorways just within this list that you can try out. So in that sense, for accessibility, it's great. And then on top of it, say mindfulness of the breath is your doorway in. It's not always going to be the thing. Even till now my go to is mindfulness of the breath because that's how I started. There was a lot of ease with that. And so it's my main practice or one of my main practices. But sometimes, I don't know if I'm really sad or I'm just overwhelmed by something personal or something collective. I might need to do a lying down practice that is focusing on emotions instead. So the others we may not become masters at that and I don't know if we ever become, at least that's not my experience. I don't feel like I'm a master at anything. But it's just the others can be tools that we use every now and then depending on the conditions or the circumstances. If you look back at the discourses of the Buddha, he made a lot of lists, and this is one of the big ones. It's almost like his goal here in listing these four foundations of mindfulness was to say, guys, there's a lot of ways to wake up and you can focus on lots of aspects of your own experience in order to stop sleepwalking through your life. Exactly. And that's what I love about this practice that any way we show up, for example, for me, I used to think that I needed to be a certain way before I could start practicing like I needed to be somewhat calm already or something like that or my emotional state or mind state needed to be different. And that's not true because there's so many of these entry points or so many of these touchstones that we could use at any given point of our practice. All right, let's start with the first foundation of mindfulness, the body. I want to quote you back to you. This is something you said to my colleague DJ Kashmir when you guys were chitchatting about what we could talk about in this episode. You said meditation is not just a mental practice. It's also an embodiment practice. Embodiment is a word that gets thrown around a lot in contemplative circles, but what do you mean by it? So if that is a direct quote, I want to even tweak it a little bit. Did you type this incorrectly DJ? I wouldn't want to I don't want to say that it's also an embodiment and practice, which I'll describe in a moment, but I think it is an embodiment practice, the whole of it. You know, it might include the mind, but I think the meat of it is one of the body. And so you're right that embodiment can be a jargony thing, and I forget that because so many of my Friends are practitioners or teachers, my husband just asked me, he was like, what does this mean embodiment? He asked me, I think, just yesterday. And so basically, it's another way to say it, it's connecting to the body. And it's very different from how maybe society not in a derogatory way, but superficial way connect to the body a lot of times we connect to the body surface level. What looks good on me, am I hungry? Am I full well, I think we actually don't even ask ourselves if we're full, but that's another thing. But it's very to the surface. And that's a great start. And there's so much more that we can access through the body. And we do that by reorienting our attention over and over to the body in a way where we're moving away from, say, a thought based reality. So what we might think about the body, what we might think we need, as opposed to a sense based reality, tuning into what the body is telling us and responding in that way, which I recognize just even this idea, the body speaking to us or sending us messages, can feel weird or jargony for some people, especially beginners, but yeah, that's the best way I would describe it. It's just this connecting to the body in a direct way so that we don't get so caught up in the thoughts, the thoughts about the body, et cetera. Let me try a few utterances here and see if they build on what you're saying in a way that speaks to any skeptics or beginners who are with us now. One is, I think you can think of embodiment as getting out of your head, which obviously the head is part of the body, but in the way we use that term, I think that probably resonates with people. And the other thing to say on this notion of the body sending you signals all the time, okay, fine, maybe that sounds a little out there to some people, but it's really, I think, inarguably true. The body is telling us whether we're hungry, whether we'll full as you point out, we've often failed to listen to the second signal. It's telling us if we're nervous, if we're stressed, if we're ready to act, if we need a break, if it's time for bed, if it's time to put down the phone and stop doom scrolling, there are lots of signals that we ignore. So I think that's a really important thing, even if some are tempted to dismiss it.

"Hey team, it is such a common desire to get out of our heads to escape the nonstop mostly self referential chatter, the habitual storylines, the ancient resentments, the compulsive self criticism, many of us take elaborate even drastic measures in this regard, self medication, shopping, technology, addiction, and so on. But there is, of course, a much healthier option that is readily and perpetually available. In fact, we're dragging it around with us all the time. In one of his signature speeches or discourses, the Buddha is said to have laid out four ways to be mindful. In other words, four ways to be awake to whatever is happening right now. The first of these four so called foundations of mindfulness is the body in the intervening millennia since the Buddha passed away, being in our bodies has become a venerable spiritual cliche. In fact, many teachers of all varieties exhort us to be in our bodies. And for many of us, it can actually make us more stranded in our head because maybe we start thinking about how rarely we dwell south of the neck and then we engage in self criticism or because we're so rarely told how actually to get out of our heads, which brings me to my guests today who has tons of simple practical and portable ideas for how to get out of your head. Don Mauricio has been meditating since 2005. She's a graduate of spirit rocks four year teacher training program. She's also the author of the book mindfulness meditation for beginners. Dawn has been on the show before last year. She and I talked about how to handle difficult people. If you missed that, we put a link in the show notes. This episode is the latest installment of a series we've launched on the four foundations of mindfulness again. That's a seminal discourse of the Buddha, one of his signature lists. A few weeks ago, my main man Joseph Goldstein gave us an overview of this classic Buddhist list. And now starting with dawn, we're going to get granular on each of the four foundations. Today, Don and I go deep on the first foundation, which is, as previously stated, mindfulness of the body, in Don's view, and this is interesting. You could spend your whole meditation career just on this first foundation and get very far. In a world that values the intellect over the body, we're going to talk about what it actually means to get out of your head and into your body. And all of the practical ways to get there. We also talk about how strong emotions and seductive technology can work against us and what to do when being aware of your body might actually not be the best thing for you. All right, we'll get started with Don Mauricio right after this.

As humans, we have three habitual programmed reactions to whatever comes up in our minds. We want it. We don't want it, or we don't really care. At the most basic level, life is just a ceaseless river of pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral. And when we don't see this process playing out, we're dragged along by our unconscious desires. Mindlessly wanting, rejecting, or ignoring. One of the amazing things about mindfulness meditation is that it wakes you up so you can cut the strings of this puppeteer.

"I like all of that a lot. I want to turn to a subject that actually, it's not quite as juicy as jerks at work, but it's in the same zone. And it's about competing with our colleagues. And how can we be okay when our maybe our colleague has a win. And this is something we talked about while filming the meditation challenge. So let's play this clip from the work life challenge and then we'll unpack it on the other side. I remember this T-shirt or that I saw once that said, every time a friend of mine succeeds, I die a little bit. So how do we take joy in the joy of others, especially if we're competing with them? Yeah. The idea around it is that when we are joyful for someone else's good fortune, then the happiness can compound from their exponentially as opposed to if we were jealous or envious of somebody else, then we're a kind of somehow limiting the amount of joy that is out in the world that we can also experience. But as you mentioned, it can be hard because when we're toe to toe with a coworker for a specific task or role or something like that, it's normal that we'll feel upset or angry, but also that doesn't need to take away from any of the joy that someone might be feeling. So you're not asking us to celebrate every time we're in a zero sum competition with somebody and the other person wins. But there is a way to actually expand our emotional repertoire in those moments. Exactly, and we start embracing the complexity or the nuance in this emotional field because yeah, we don't want to deny the human experience of sadness or the grief of not getting a promotion because that's there. And if we do, we'll actually what we're doing is we're suppressing. We're not really honoring our emotions, and then they'll come out in passive aggressive or aggressive ways. On the episode with the aforementioned doctor Laurie Santos, I sort of maladroitly taught mudita meditation where you learn how to take the light in the good fortune of others. So maybe you can repair any damage I did there by poorly teaching it and talk a little bit about how this ancient Buddhist practice designed to help us with the being happy for other people when we feel competitive. So more detail is the word that we used in that clip and that is often translated as sympathetic joy, altruistic joy or I sometimes simplify it as joy for others. And it's one of the hard qualities it's like part of the same list of teachings as friendliness or loving kindness that we talked about. And so much in the same way we could recite phrases like bringing someone's good fortune to mind and then wishing them more good fortune or made their happiness or good fortune continue. And so we can bring to mind somebody for whom it's easy to rejoice for a loved one, for example. And then from there we can spread it to others. We could maybe even bring to mind some of our own joys and celebrate that or to a neutral person, a challenging person eventually as well. And sometimes the way that I also like to practice it is because if I'm trying to share more detail or this joy for someone that I don't really like, it's not so easy. So I love to drop into the body. So I bring to mind like a time when I felt joyful and can I maybe imagine that person feeling that in that moment given their good fortune? And then from there, can I maybe just say like, yeah, maybe you continue feeling that or something along those lines to simplify it a little bit more because mudita or sympathetic joy is considered to be the hardest of the heart qualities. So the other heart qualities include equanimity and compassion with friendliness. And so sympathetic joy is considered to be one of the hardest ones of the four. So yeah, set the bar low with some well from afar as best you can, while also recognizing that you might be feeling say envy or sadness or grief because you aren't experiencing some good fortune. Well, I think that's a key thing. You don't want a paper over what's there, some anger or sadness or envy. You want to be mindful of that. While also developing the quality of sympathetic joy. Exactly. I think Joanna maci has said in terms of the fourth heart quality equanimity that she calls it sometimes premature equanimity when we're papering over. When we learn this quality and we think, oh, this is how I should be. And then we deny the complex feelings that we are feeling. And so I would say the same thing for sympathetic joy. We don't want a premature sympathetic joy. And how do we avoid that prematurity? It's just by honoring the whole spectrum of complicated feelings we're feeling in a given moment. Before we go, I want to talk about a subject I know is of interest to you, which is kind of related to what we're seeing right now in the workplace. The great resignation everybody's hashtag follow your bliss and quitting their jobs and generally speaking I'm positive about that. But I know you and I share a view that bringing meditation into the workplace doesn't mean you have to quit. Exactly, although we may not be great examples of that. I used to be in marketing and you just left and so basically I just think that a lot of the power of this practice comes from bringing whatever we're learning to wherever we are. It doesn't mean that we need to uproot our life or change it drastically in order to keep deepening. That can help or be supportive, but I think there's just so much more promise given the world or what the world really needs is us bringing these things we're learning out to our families or to our workplace or even if we decide to change jobs, well, the new job, for example, but I don't think we necessarily need to quit everything and find a cave for a few years to really get the richness of this practice. I actually feel for my experience when I first started meditating, I kept going on retreats and this is when I was working in marketing. What I didn't realize, though, was that I was treating my practice as a way or a place to escape to. I wasn't actually applying any of the things that I was learning in my day to today life. And my partner at that time I remember if we get into a fight, I'd say, hold on, and then I go off on a ten or 20 day retreat and come back and we would never pick up that conversation 'cause I was suddenly feeling way more peaceful. And so that wasn't actually addressing anything in my life either. And so when I realized that I told myself, I wouldn't go on a retreat until it felt like I wanted to connect as opposed to wanting to escape. And that took I think about two years. I would constantly tune in. I would be in touch with my mentor my meditation teacher to also help keep me straight and whatnot. But I remember those two years for the hardest because I couldn't just run away from all of the uncomfortable situations and conversations that I really just wanted to avoid. And so I think that is what has made me so passionate about being mindful in our day to today life. With the things that are in our lives like technology or these jerky people at work or whatnot and listen to talk, I realize that next time I do meta or more detail for a difficult person, I'm going to wish that they find their bliss and go to a cave. No longer work. That's not exactly what I wanted you to take from that, but you know, baby steps. I'm not the best student. Don, you've done a great job with this. For people who are gonna affect want to learn more about you, do you have a website, social media, where can people dig in? Yeah, my website is the best place basically. So it's just Don Mauricio dot com and then I try to just be in touch with people in deeper ways that are not algorithm based, so I have a Patreon community as well as my monthly newsletter..

"Thank you, dad. I'm happy that this is being recorded so that I could maybe create a sound bite out of it whenever I'm feeling down and fill it on loop. I know you're being semi facetious there, but let's keep going because it is so common impostor syndrome. And so I'm curious, you know, you talked about borrowing the wisdom of your collaborators to see in yourself what they clearly see in you, but are there any other tactics maybe even through meditation that can help you not be so dominated by this? Yeah, as mentioned in that clip that we heard, it's dropping into the body. That's my go to mostly because the thoughts of impostor syndrome are just thoughts. They're really that, however, if I believe it enough, then they can swirl and swirl and then become suddenly this tornado that I can't get out of. And so if I can as soon as possible, I try to remember my body sitting or standing here, maybe holding papers from about to go into a meeting or a presentation or something like that. Remembering to breathe and that sounds kind of ironic because if we're standing in a live while we're breathing, but we tend to breathe very shallowly if that's a word. When we're stuck in our head. And so to really drop in the body, however, just because what's going on in the head is unpleasant, it doesn't mean what's going to be in the body is pleasant. It's going to be a reflection of what we're thinking. So there's going to be tension there. We might feel maybe our hands and cold sweats or whatever our thing is. And so what dropping into the body does, it brings us into this moment because for me, my impostor syndrome is not anchored in this moment. The thoughts will be about comparing it might be replaying say another podcast episode of someone that I admired and getting lost in that or imagining a future outcome of some sort. So it's all not present moment based. And so when I'm in my body, it brings me to this moment and in this moment I'm reminded that, yeah, I might not be comfortable, but I'm okay. And I think another thing that comes to mind is mindfulness or meditation has really helped me lean into discomfort because sometimes when I'm practicing or sitting in my meditation practice, I want to scratch that itch and I'm not doing it. And it might seem mundane, but in that moment, I'm cultivating this tolerance for discomfort. And so when I'm in that presentation at work or that meeting and I don't feel like it's going well or I'm receiving feedback that is quote unquote constructive, but it feels like it's critical in a moment. I'm leaning into discomfort using what I've built on in my meditation practice. So that I could look at it or switch my perspective to see it more as growth. How can my being present for all of that discomfort during the meeting my future actions so that maybe I'll prepare differently next time or I'll integrate the feedback that I'm receiving as opposed to before I used to be a way more fragile. I used to be very perfection oriented. And so if it wasn't perfect, then it was a complete fail. And then I would fall into a shame cycle that could last days. And so now it's just really uncomfortable, but I see that the discomfort is not bad in any way, but it's just something that I could learn from instead. Much more of my conversation with Don Mauricio right after this. Let's do a voicemail. We've got a bunch of voicemails from our from our listeners.

Don Mauricio is an excellent teacher who is making her 10% happier debut with today's episode. She's been meditating since 2005. She's a graduate of spirit rocks four year teacher training program. She's also the author of a book called mindfulness meditation for beginners. In this episode, dawn talks about jerks and impostor syndrome and also about what the Dharma can teach us about the technology that dominates so much of our lives both in and outside of work. I should also note that Don is one of two phenomenal meditation teachers who will be joining me in the new work life challenge. The other teacher is Matthew Hepburn. The challenge kicks off today in the 10% happier app. It's free. It lasts 7 days every day you get a video that features me talking to Matthew or Don. And then we dive right into a short guided meditation from either dawn or Matthew so that you can practice what you've learned. The challenge runs, as I mentioned for 7 days, it starts today. So there's still time to join, download the 10% happier app right now to join the free challenge. Okay, we'll get started with Don Mauricio right after this. Don Mauricio, thanks for coming on the show. Thanks for having me. It's great to see you again. We spent some time together recording videos for the work life challenge and now I get to have you on the podcast. So it's a double whammy for me. Yeah, it's really exciting. I've just admire so many of the people that have come through on the podcast and so I'm just honored to be here. We're honored to have you. You're in good company. There's so many work related issues I want to talk about with you. But I'm going to jump to what seems to be maybe the juiciest, which is how to handle jerks at work. This is something you and I spoke about when we were filming the videos for the challenge. Before you and I talk now, I actually want to play a clip of me and you talking a few weeks ago that we'll be using as part of the challenge. So let's listen to that clip and then we'll talk for real on the back end. We've been talking about how to have better relationships overall how to stay connected with our coworkers and members of our family. But what do we do when we're dealing with somebody who's pretty deeply unpleasant? That is a great challenge that a lot of us, all of us have. And sometimes we come into this meditation practice thinking that the goal is to have an open heart jam it open and love everyone. When that is just not possible with some people. There are some people that are just really challenging even triggering for us. And so in those moments, what we're really just trying to do is can we tolerate them? Can we accept them? Wish them well, but from afar, for example. Okay. But I imagine some people are thinking, I can't get to even the lower bar that you've set there. I can't get to toleration and wishing well because these people or this person is just so unacceptable. Yeah. And that's really normal. And even though sometimes we might get to a moment of tolerance with somebody, it doesn't mean that it stays there either. They could go and do the next jerky thing, and then we're back to really struggling with them. And so I think of this spectrum. And this is how I think of loving kindness practice how sometimes we might aspire to be loving and kind, but then with people like that, it's really, really hard to be loving and kind and so to think of say the opposite of loving kindness, which is hate. And so between that, that's often where I live and where I how I interact with all these people and so if I think of the lowest bar being hate, well, then a little bit inward from that or from that is non hate. And so can I at least not hate them, even if that's temporarily while they're in my face. And then I might go back to really struggling and then some days if they slept well and I've slept well and we're both in a good mood, then I might be able to accept them, which them well from afar as we heard in that clip. And other days it might not be that. So I think expecting ourselves to have this very predictable relationship or view of somebody that's challenging can be unrealistic. And so just acknowledging that it is something that changes from day to day moment to moment and then to set the bar really low. That's kind of my model because it allows me to be really kind to myself. As I try to navigate, challenging people while trying to live by certain values. So set the Barlow, which is can I just not hate them today? Can I just not hate them for now? And then hope for the best and go from there. So clawing your way to temporary neutrality is what you're describing. Yeah, you know, anything helps, I think, because my experience, I love that climb the way it certainly does feel like that at times. But my experience is if I spend time in the realm of hate, then I start dehumanizing the person and as soon as I dehumanize them, regularly and for long periods, then I can cause real harm. And so I find that in this meditation practice, there's so many tips and tricks of how we could continue humanizing the people we find challenging, sometimes with loving kindness practice, it might include something like imagining this person as a young child themselves or maybe even imagining them having their own difficulties in their life which causes them to be this way or whatever. And so, yeah, for me, it's just how can I, in very simplistic terms, how can I at the very least not spend time or too much time hating them? You've invoked loving kindness meditation a couple of times. I think most people who listen to the show certainly people who have listened to it for a while, know what loving kindness meditation is, but there may be I hope there are people this is their first time listening or they're so new that they haven't heard that term..

The return of Peronist politics in Argentina
"Argentina's, Cristina Fernandez decay. Now is back at the full populace president left office in two thousand fifteen with the country on the brink of economic collapse. But if posed to be believed she has a good chance of returning to this in October, as vice president alongside her namesake and former chief of staff, Alburto Fernandez Jonathan Wheatley discusses, how history may be repeating itself in Argentina with a correspondent Benedict. Mander. Living with the. Going seattle. Get new put them meet there in, then they're gay three hundred fourteen dollars. We realize as individualize see noise when a p really says dune associated that was Cristina Fernandez decay, Schnur extolling the virtues of collective action. And so there can be no individual triumphs. In a society based on the kind of social contract that she advocates, but her parents policies left the country in dire state. Then it can you give us a picture of the economic situation, when she left office? Yes, when macrey took our. He find an economy with twin deficits, both in the budget and candidates, central Bank reserves running on Mt. And so you basically had a country that was under budgeted balance of payments crisis at the same time you had very high inflation. They no one knows exactly how high is they still publishing reliable statistics. There was no growth speak of high poverty. In the order thirty percents. I mean it was in a bad way, and it's proved very difficult for macrey to correct that situation. I what he's done. I was one of the big things he's done is turns the IMF and Argentina's being the beneficiary of its biggest ever bailout fifty six billion dollar package, but the IMF is still deeply unpopular in Argentina. Was that? Yes, I mean, it's like a comic book villain Argentina. I mean, it's had a very checkered performance in Argentina over the past sixty years. There have been more than twenty programs pretty much all of which have ended badly. Most recently, the two thousand one crisis was probably the west all that ended in the biggest ever sovereign debt default at a time. Anyway, huge devaluation that triggered very high employment. Those sibling arrest people shot on the streets, and so on having was disastrous. So it's understandable that people have bad memories if the funds engagement in the country. I Fono money Taddeo. This realm integral Montreal remove scenario Torello necessarily casino much of Argentine was brought to a standstill last week by general strike in protest over the government. So stereotype measures are we just had one of the organizers, Kellyanne Rupak Anini describing the IMF is being the Bermuda triangle, sucking in salaries work, health and education? So things apparently haven't improved for the poor under the reforms agreed between the current president Mauricio Macri in the IMF. What are people telling you about the hardships? They're facing at the moment. The first thing that people say that they just are able to make it to the end of the bone, and that's those that are employed, right? Because there's a huge amount of releasing Jones, but those that are earning salaries which not keeping up with inflation, finding it very difficult to pay for just the basic items food, prices have been up extremely fast and utilities as well have been rising several times over. So people just. Yeah. The month and that is obviously, causing significant social unrest. And you'd be not speaking to small businesses on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. How are they putting up with things the slums and the working class area's been particularly badly hit where there are lots of factories and workshops which not very competitive and been competing with impulse China. The defended the local markets, a lot of have been closing down. So that's leading to mass unemployment in the poorer areas of the city, which is causing big problems on against those are large part of the electorate, exactly. That's the heartland of Christina Fernandes occasion. And she is likely to do very well in that part of the electric ended makes up about a quarter voted. So it'll make significant difference. Deana. See my settlement brother shit. I mean goon Dino. And. Taylor. That was Christina Fernandez running mate, berto Fernandez. No, relation saying it rally that his coalition would eliminate Argentina's debt without making any Argentine suffer the cost with promises like this, how, as Mr. macrey can fight fightback. Well, it's not easy. The big thing that maybe hadn't his favorite, the beginning was that he was supposedly better, managing the economy, now that is not really proved to be the case or at least not over these four years. A lot of people, and I find themselves in a worse position night and they were four years ago. So he's having to look the other areas to sell himself, so recently, they've been inaugurating public works, major infrastructure projects, roads bridges sewerage signs, rather present, but these things do make a big difference to another people. And that, having that will help and also you have to remember that there are no infrastructure projects under the previous government that they're started. We wouldn't have. Completed. So this is also a reminder of the corruption that supposedly happened under the kitchen as you mentioned corruption that Benedict. What about all the court cases that are going on what bearing will that have on the election? Well, that is the million dollar question Argentines have known to vote into power politicians that have been accused of corruption in the past. So it's not gonna be the Bill and endle-. It will certainly have an impact on the margins. I think that polls show that the NFL this is a supporters. Don't actually believe the corruption charges identing that's going to affect that sector of the vote, but in the middle ground, perhaps it will and the extent to which it does could even decide the election another problem that obviously Argentina faces is that foreign investors very quickly lose trust in the country, and we've seen the huge devaluation of the currency last year again, this year, one of the problems that we often hear about is that Argentines themselves. Don't trust the currency. How do you fix a problem like that? Well, this is one of the great dramas of Argentina, and it's not clear to anybody otherwise. They might have six up more ready. It'll take years, perhaps decades of macroeconomic stability for trust in the currency to return or even appear. So the first thing that needs to do is kill inflation, which has proved incredibly hard on democracy. He thought it was going to be very easy, but it's not higher than it was when he came to power looks like it's beginning to go on a dine with paws, but it's going to take a very long time to get rid together at any then I think we'll people say, they're encouraging Argenta on politics have been compared to a circular firing squad. Is there any sign that, that passing could be halted in that Mr. macrey could engage with more moderate parents elements to win a consensus for his reform programme? Well at the beginning of this government, he did manage to cooperate with the mall, mudder elements apparent ISM and was able to pass some important. Reforms, more recently, the last year or even two that has not been so successful, but doesn't no reason why if he does win he couldn't do that again. But the polarization of Argentine politics is a huge problem. It was something that macrey promised to fix and he hasn't. Debatable as to why. But this is going to be a problem going forward without a diet. And why has Christina finance chosen to run for the vice presidency rather than as president this time? Well, you need to. That I mean it's impossible to get inside the head, but some people suggest that it may be because she thought she couldn't actually win. But then again, it's not clear that the person who is running in place on both the mandates will win either. So it could also be that, perhaps, even if she did win. She thought that she might not be able to govern efficiently at least as she might have liked to how she did in previous governments, which were current terrorized by the FTA amongst others is the populist politics. And as we all know populism doesn't mix very well with all sturdy, and that is the situation that we're in at the moment. So she might have decided to pass the buck. Thank you very much. We will certainly be watching with great interest as we get closer to the election. That was Jonathan.
