In this episode Roderick j Wolgamott AKA Rodrigo Romero opens up about his life as a musician and poet, tree house designer and builder and intimate friend to some fairly well know personalities from the echelons of pop culture and Hollywood. A life with many ups and downs, a trajectory of anpredictable outcomes and self inflicted turns and twists that I believe can serve as an example of how making choices and working through the consequences of those choices makes a life truly authentic and genuinely well lived, regardless of the tough outcomes that may have resulted from some of those choices.I really appreciate the openness and honesty that Rodrick brought to the table and I hope that the listener will refrain from judgement and dismissal of some of the more controversial subjects we touched upon in this interview in favor of an appreciation for the intimacy and deep insights that he has allowed us with baring his life's trials and tribulations in such a deep and soul searching fashion. your feedback and comments are highly appreciated, please keep them as honest and forthcoming as the matters discussed in this episode and feel free to join the conversation in a spirit of playful investigation, open minded inquisitiveness and artistic expression.

Does your life’s content make you happy?Being aware of your body is a Mediation Practice.So is cleaning the floor and doing the dishes, taking cold showers and making tea and hot chocolate.lighting a candle, copying and labeling files,balancing the books, making unpleasant calls,motorcycle maintenance and air travel ….In other words….Take a minute, breathe out and massage your ears to tap into your sources.Sitting in Zen is being awake, even for 2 minutes. Done.

Meditation_Munchies_MovementOver consumption is real. No matter if it's food, drugs, alcohol, work, gaming, the smartphone or the constant need for connection. The addiction rate is rising but a lot of misery comes from people being pre occupied with their own little indulgences. Meditation can become a vehicle for self abuse when it is done at a loss of social contacts, proper nutrition and regular exercise for example.
