Wild World, Steady Mind

Clarity and Calm … in 15 Minutes a Day? This Modern-Day Tibetan Master Shows Us How. From the non-stop stress to the hustle culture to the endless doomscrolling … is your reality feeling like a video game stuck in "nearly-impossible mode?" And despite an infinite feed of movies, videos, memes, and other diversions—are you finding moments of real joy and contentment incredibly rare these days? Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche hears this from his students every day, and he gets it. A Tibetan Master for a New and Different World As a young monk in 2002, Mingyur Rinpoche began collaborating with neuroscientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, who studied his astonishing ability to achieve states of profound awareness, joy, and calm. (Though anyone who's met Mingyur Rinpoche will tell you that you don't need to see all the brain scans to feel his off-the-chart happiness and passion for helping others. But more on that later.) Since that time, Mingyur Rinpoche has devoted his life to showing us how this steadiness and deep sense of contentment is already within us. It’s part of our natural state—not something we have to earn or become—even while dealing with the real world, and in a matter of days, not years. So how do we connect with it? "Storms Cannot Break the Sky" It comes down to a core discovery of Tibetan Buddhist wisdom: that behind your thoughts, personality, and emotional storms, an inner flame of consciousness burns with a brilliant love, wisdom, and awareness that nothing can hurt or extinguish. It's called your basic goodness or natural perfection. And like the sky, it's not something you need to build up with mental "workout reps" or other effort—you just need to let the emotional storms come and go … then find your way home to that goodness and perfection. Not into Meditation? Not a Problem. Sitting cross-legged for hundreds of hours is great if you're drawn to it, but many of us just want a faster and easier way to let go of stress and overwhelm, find some solid ground, and (if it's not over-asking) be less miserable. Which is why we're thrilled to bring you something new and different from Mingyur Rinpoche: Wild World, Steady Mind, a 21-day experience to reclaim your natural-born clarity and calm (even if you honestly can't remember the last time you felt that way). This is not a conventional meditation course or app. Instead, Sounds True worked closely with Mingyur Rinpoche to offer an uplifting and effortless journey that won't feel like another "you should-be-doing-this" on your calendar. These inspiring and calming daily boosts are profound—but are also designed to make your days lighter, not heavier, so you'll actually look forward to them. Each recorded video teaching and "micro-practice" (just 10-15 minutes each) is meant to quickly bring you back into the light of the calm and contentment within you … and to lead you into a steadiness and joy that becomes your "new normal" well beyond the three weeks. And Some Exciting Updates We're happy to confirm that this program will also include two LIVE online gatherings with Mingyur Rinpoche, where he'll offer extended insights and answer questions to help you with your specific obstacles.
