About this episode

Explaining all that anger can reveal, activist and yoga instructor Reggie Hubbard encourages listeners to use their anger for positive change.

In this week’s episode of Mindrolling, Raghu and Reggie reflect upon:

  • Reggie's powerful upbringing as a person of color, shaped by family stories from the Civil Rights era and beyond
  • How surviving a stroke became a transformative spiritual experience for Reggie  
  • Anger as a gift and friend that can show us injustice, unreconciled pain, and more
  • How facing his anger led Reggie to yoga, mindfulness, and spiritual life
  • Maharaj-ji’s wisdom: you can be angry, just don’t throw anyone out of your heart.
  • How poverty is pathologized in American society—and the consequences of blaming the poor.
  • What science reveals about the empathy gap in wealthy individuals and its societal impact
  • Consuming less media, talking less, and praying more
  • Why the act of surrender can be the most powerful and transformative choice 
  • Considering where love is in our reality and figuring out who we really are
  • A meditation as Reggie plays gongs and singing bowls for listeners
