In this episode, Dr. Roman Palitsky, a clinical psychologist and Director of Research Projects at Emory Spiritual Health, discusses the connections between spirituality, meditation, and mental health. He highlights the lesser-known risks of meditation and psychedelics, practices often celebrated for their benefits but not thoroughly examined for their challenges.
Geshe Lobsang Tenzin Negi, PhD, is Executive Director of the Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics at Emory University and Director of the Emory Tibet Science Initiative. Among Dr. Negi’s many accomplishments is developing Cognitively Based Compassion Training, or CBCT, a highly influential meditation program, which is a major focus of our discussion in this podcast, and which forms a foundation for Social, Emotional, and Ethical (SEE) Learning, an innovative K-12 education program being adopted by school systems around the world. In addition to his work with compassion meditation and education, Dr. Negi leads efforts that are revolutionizing Tibetan Buddhist monastic education by introducing training in modern science as a core competency in monastic training.
