Being in the Now
This week on the Be Here Now Network’s Guest Podcast, astrophysicist Piet Hut joins Loch to discuss what Western science and Tibetan Buddhism have to teach us about the timeless awareness that comes with being in the moment.
Piet Hut is one of the founders and also the President of the research institute YHouse. He is also a Professor of Astrophysics and heads the Program in Interdisciplinary Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J. Piet has presented talks at conferences on science and consciousness for more than 20 years.Loch Kelly is the author of the books, Shift into Freedom and The Way of Effortless Mindfulness. His books present an original synthesis of ancient wisdom, modern psychological insights, current neuroscience research, and unique awareness practices for the body, mind, and heart. These training guides, written for both first-time and lifelong meditators, are filled with simple and effective experiential tools for “unhooking” awareness from our chattering minds and dropping into our awake heart space, expanding our sense of intimacy and interconnection, and embodying inner peace, clarity, and love.
