In this episode I talk with Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison, an author, Zen teacher, and Jungian psychotherapist who has devoted his life to the study and application of psychotherapy and Buddhism.       In our conversation, we discuss Koshin's latest book, Untangled: Walking The Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage, and Compassion.   Among many other things, we talk about:   * The needy Cookie Monster in him, myself, and maybe many of you.   * The power of perspective in helping you to recognize when your old stories resurface.   * The 3 kinds of minds: Grandmotherly Mind, Great Mind, and Joyful Mind.   * Self-clinging as a deep form of stealing.   * And how everything, everywhere is a  "place of practice."      I was thrilled to have this conversation with Koshin. Keep listening and you'll know why … you can actually hear the twinkle in his eyes and his beaming smile.     Learn more about Koshin and the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care:   About Koshin: https://zencare.org/sensei-koshin-paley-ellison/   New York Zen Center: https://zencare.org/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/zencare   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/newyorkzencenter/   LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/new-york-zen-center-for-contemplative-care/    Twitter: https://twitter.com/nyzencenter   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@newyorkzencenterforcontemp4985     **************   Check out my Substack posts for more everyday Buddhism: https://wendyshinyohaylett.substack.com/   If this podcast has helped you understand Buddhism or help in your everyday life, consider making a one-time donation here: https://donorbox.org/podcast-donations    Become a patron to support this podcast and get special member benefits! https://www.patreon.com/EverydayBuddhism   Support the podcast through the affiliate link to buy the book, Everyday Buddhism: Real-Life Buddhist Teachings & Practices for Real Change: Buy the book, Everyday Buddhism
