La Sarmiento: Embracing Mindfulness and Acceptance

The more imperfect I am, the more acceptable I've actually become.
Imagine finding peace in a world that often feels chaotic. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer welcomes La Sarmiento, a seasoned practitioner of Vipassana meditation and a guiding teacher for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ Sanghas at the Insight Meditation Community of Washington. With over two decades of experience, La brings a wealth of wisdom on moving from suffering to acceptance through mindfulness.
La shares their journey of feeling out of place in dominant culture and how they discovered a sense of belonging. They dive into the significance of mindfulness practices in navigating life's challenges and bridging differences with compassion. Whether you're dealing with personal struggles or societal pressures, La's insights offer a pathway to acceptance and inner peace.
Throughout the conversation, La emphasizes the importance of awareness and compassion, discussing how these practices can help us conserve our energy while making space for others. They also touch on their work with teens and the unique approach of not preparing Dharma talks ahead of time, allowing for a more authentic and present connection with their audience.
La's perspective is both inspiring and relatable, making this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking to cultivate mindfulness and acceptance in their own life. As La beautifully puts it, 'The more imperfect I am, the more acceptable I've actually become'. Tune in to discover how embracing your imperfections can lead to greater self-acceptance and peace.
