10. How Can I Accept My Body and My Fears? With BJ Miller

30 years ago Dr. BJ Miller had an accident that changed his life
forever. He was out late one night, messing around with his
college buddies, and he jumped up on a train car and was
electrocuted with 11000 volts of electricity. BJ went on to lose
both legs and most of one arm. He spent a year in physical
recovery and longer in emotional and psychological recovery. But
all of these experiences led him to where he is today:
interviewed by Oprah; profiled by “The New York Times Magazine”;
and a leading figure in the death and dying realm. This week’s
practice is all about accepting our bodies--and our fears. As BJ
Miller says, “The goal isn’t to become fearless. The goal is to
learn how to live with fear.”
