Formerly a Zen Buddhist nun in the Kwan Um school of Zen, Ji Hyang Padma is currently the Buddhist Chaplain at Tufts, Northeastern, and Brandeis Universities. With a doctorate in transpersonal psychology, she also offers spiritual counseling, Reiki and astrology readings in private practice. Dr. Ji Hyang is the author of two books, Living the Season: Zen Practice for Transformative Times, and Field of Blessings: Ritual and Consciousness in the Work of Buddhist Healers. We talk about the challenges of monasticism in America, and what Buddhist meditation has to do with health, intuition and subtle energy.
