Finding A Stillpoint with Scott Johnson

Finding Harmony Podcast

The Buddha counsels a grieving mother unable to come to terms with her son’s death to visit her neighbors door-to-door, and to collect a mustard seed from each household untouched by death. By the evening, her empty hands and new understanding enable the grieving mother to bury her son and become a disciple of the Buddha.

The Lily Pad Sutra

We’ll cherish this interview with our dear friend, the lovely Scott Johnson. We do try to find parallels with our guests, of course, as a regular listener - you know. And, certainly we explored misspent youths, broken childhoods, and our inevitable slide down a windy road that eventually turns into a spiritual path.

Scott is a sensitive soul. His gentle, compassionate, kind energy is transmitted not only through his teaching style, but you’ll feel it in the way he speaks.

The space we enter around him is saturated with loving kindness.

And yet.. some things are not so easy to share.

It goes without saying that we all have experienced loss to some degree or another.

To be sure, we would give up quite soon if we were tasked with looking for our own mustard seeds. Loss is inevitable.

Still, the passing of a dear friend, a joyously beautiful spirit, like Scott’s partner Ozge, is soul tearing, and spirit breaking. It’s quite hard to find common ground there. Even if we have experienced the loss of close friends ourselves. Each experience of loss is so unique.

That said, we’re grateful to Scott for sharing his story, his friendship, his wisdom, and his time with us. Somehow we came away encouraged about our community and the transformative power of the Ashtanga yoga practice.

We hope you enjoy this episode and find your own sense of encouragement, hope, and healing through absorbing and also integrating a new approach to your breath and movement practice. Maybe you’ll even find a Stillpoint amidst the chaos of an ever changing world.
