Broadcasts from a mindful life tempered by work in chaotic environments. These one-minute field reports are meant to distill the insights and techniques that help you be the person I want to be...especially when life gives you every reason not to be. They’re clean, penetrating and strategic. Like all ninja moves should be.
I'm a hospitality professional of 13+ years turned meditation teacher...turned hospitality professional reborn. I realized that everything I need to learn about mindfulness is tested and revealed in the grit and grime of restaurant work (and any other unromantic avenue of life). Revelation and self-mastery isn't just cultivated sitting on a cushion in a quiet room. Wisdom arrives when we're challenged. When we throw ourselves into furnace of frustration, boredom, resentment, depletion and service to the needs of others.
I started the Serve Conscious education platform to provide these tools and perspectives drawn from Vedic meditation, Cha Dao (the Zen Way of Tea), mindful communication, Karma Yoga, advanced mindful service principles and anything else that can elevate our life and work to our own personal monastery.
Because here's the thing: to perform any act of service you need to be fully present. And to be fully present is to be inspired to serve the needs of the moment. How you serve anything in your work and personal life is how you serve everything. It's all your crucible for self-mastery. And that "always in service mindset" is what the briefing project hopes to give you a doorway into.
