The Life-Changing Power of Magnificent Ridiculousness

illustration by community member David Kantrowitz

Sometimes life sucks. We feel demoralized and crushed by circumstances. 

Occasionally when I’m in this headspace, I decide all that can be done is to disarm my desolation with ridiculousness. Something unexpected can happen then.

And that’s what we’re going to do together. If you’re offended by this meditation, good. Now you have some energy. Go run around the block and howl to the moon gods.

Let’s meditate.

THIS WEEK ON THE MIND BOD ADVENTURE POD

In this week’s episode of

The Mind Bod Adventure Pod

, we take a deep dive into the dynamics of giving, receiving, taking, and allowing with guest Betty Martin.

Why does Jeff gush that Betty is the next Buddha? Because Jeff is overly-excitable! And because Betty’s Wheel of Consent is about much more than just sex and touch. It’s about how we’re human with each other. Her model of consent is now taught in dozens of communities around the world. Among other things, the practice teaches communication and boundaries, integrity and self-awareness, generosity and gratitude, vulnerability and connection.
