#2.5 TALK – We-Flow – with Stéphane Segatori

Aurélien speaks with Dan Lehman, a meditation practitioner and guide for university staff at the Technical University in Eindhoven. They discuss why one would purposefully seek discomfort, the difference between pain and suffering, how meditation can help reduce suffering, while one can use painful experiences to empower oneself through detachment. They further explore how the ‘self’ could be conceived as an illusion, and what is meant by self, and finally what can be concluded on whether humans truly possess free will.  A Very Mindful Podcast helps students and professionals, and anyone interested in Mindfulness and Mental Health learn more about the theory behind the topics.
