The Positive Head Podcast

Brandon seeks to inspire the podcast audience and shares powerful quotes by Rumi and others, as well as a Teal Swan audio clip on fulfilling our own unmet needs, all reminders that we hold the ultimate creative power and that we are all mini-universes unto ourselves.

Frank is an internationally respected Buddhist teacher and co-founder of the Zen Hospice Project, and Metta Institute. He has lectured at Harvard Medical School, the Mayo Clinic, been named as one of the 50 most innovative people by AARP, highlighted on the Oprah Winfrey show and honored by the Dalai Lama. In this episode, Frank shares the wisdom he has gleaned by sitting at the bedside of thousands of people who are dying, and which he also covers in his new book The Five Invitations, which goes into great detail regarding what death has taught him about living fully.

Brandon follows up on a previous episode’s theme and a comment he made on a public forum regarding negativity and anger, and he expands on this by referencing a scale of human consciousness and emotion as described in the work of Dr. David Hawkins, as well as play an Eckhart Tolle clip on the dynamics of the ego and the so-called “pain body”.

Brandon switches things up by reading a negative one-star review; he also addresses a couple of questions from the Facebook group, in particular one regarding frustrated aspirations for an acting career, and he shares a Matt Kahn audio clip that seeks to elevate and inspire the listener by reminding them of their true divine nature.

Brandon delves into the idea that a simplistic “positive thinking” philosophy could actually do more harm than good by denying reality or repressing negativity, and comments on a blog post on this topic as well as offer his own perspective on the matter.
