The Krishna Das Pilgrim Heart Hour features Krishna Das’ no-nonsense take on everyday struggles for finding balance on the spiritual path. Through the honesty, humility and humor of his own personal experiences, he points to the possibility of navigating life’s trials with a true inner yearning for truth. His own practice of kirtan or chant is the well stone of his ability to share from his spiritual heart. As KD says, “Love is a disease - we catch it from those who have it.”

For this episode of Into the Stream I'm joined by the wildly articulate, friendly, and advanced meditation practitioner Jamie Bristow who also happens to be firmly rooted in the world of mindfulness research and associated public policy. We dive into the intricacies of his Jhana practice (profound meditation states available through deeper practice) along with his highly nuanced perspectives on them and their relevance for daily life.
This episode is particularly enthralling if you find yourself fascinated by advanced meditation practice (for the specifics of what we go into scroll to the bottom).
Jamie's bio
Jamie Bristow is the Director of The Mindfulness Initiative, a policy institute about mindfulness and compassion training that grew out of a programme of mindfulness teaching for politicians in the British Parliament. Jamie now works with politicians around the world to help them make capacities of mind and heart serious considerations of public policy and has supported the introduction of mindfulness training in over 10 national parliaments. His research, publications and advocacy have had a global influence on the cultivation of inner capacities.
Jamie was formerly Business Development Director for Headspace and has a background in climate change campaign communications and advertising. He is also a teacher-in-training in the Insight Meditation tradition that’s associated with Gaia House, IMS and Spirit Rock retreat centres. His teachers and mentors have included Stephen Batchelor, Rob Burbea and Christina Feldman.
