In this short podcast with the author of Spirituality for Badasses, J. Stewart Dixon, we get political without getting political!

How can the tension of our political situation stimulate healing the split mind contributing to individual and collective anxiety?

J. Stewart, aka Jeff, is a fellow teacher and friend who always makes me laugh. Turns out, he’s working on a spiritual book on American politics, of all things. Meanwhile, I’ve been thinking about posting an article called Self-Care in an Election Year. So, like peas and carrots, it was the right time to have this short discussion, and to share it with you!

“Spirituality for Badasses is The Way of the Peaceful Warrior for the rebels among us who are tired of sickly-sweet approaches to spirituality and have a sincere need to laugh out loud on the regular. J. Stewart Dixon is a true original. He’s your irreverent, potty-mouthed best friend and big brother, but don’t let the humor fool you: the teachings offered here are profoundly liberating, important pointers to awakened awareness. Dixon teaches us all to en-LIGHTEN-UP with his special blend of hilarious, profound, crazy-ass wisdom.”

Addendum: I mention classroom recitation of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation (January 1863). Correction - it is the Gettysburg Address (November 1863).
