Upaya Dharma Podcasts - Eyes Wide Open

Another great 9-part series of podcasts from Upaya Zen Center - Frank Ostaseski & Roshi Joan Halifax teach on death and compassion.

Eyes Wide Open Part 1 of 9

Speakers: Frank Ostaseski & Roshi Joan Halifax
Recorded: Friday Sep 10, 2010

The eyes of a dying patient are clear mirrors. In their gaze there is simply no place to hide. Coming face to face with dying requires a fierce compassion and self-awareness that is best supported by mindfulness, emotional balance and equanimity. These two pioneers in contemplative care of the dying are offering this special intensive for experienced caregivers. The training builds essential competencies in three areas: strengthens individual capacity for compassionate service, enhances spiritual development, and teaches health care providers and family caregivers how to work with burn-out, secondary trauma, and moral distress. The program includes one to one dialogue, contemplative practices, and didactic sessions on neuroscience and mindfulness.

NOTE: There was a slideshow at the end of this session. This segment is not part of the audio.
