It was a pleasure to speak with to the staff at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Pinole, Ca. on May 8th.

Woke up today after attending a talk by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche (Tibetan Sound Healing) and sensed once again that it’s individual transformation that has to happen before we can transform our government. Once we the people become aware of our fear, anger, greed, and other emotions that cloud us, then we will have the space to open our hearts, and put our understanding into practice. Lets work for things like yoga, music, and art in the schools, social emotional focus in pre-school, healing for our veterans, workplace equity and wellness, and work towards policies like Bhutan’s focus on Gross National Happiness.
