Happy Mind: Meditations from the Ancient World to Modernity

Ancient meditation techniques from wisdom teachers who are lost in the mists of time are made available to you in accessible, bite-sized or longer guided meditations. Each episode is largely inspired by the original teachings of Taoist, Buddhist and Hindu masters like Lao Tzu, Buddha and “Krishna”, Christian masters like Mary Magdalene, Jesus and Teresa of Avila, Greek masters like Plotinus, Plato and Pythagoras, Islamic masters like Rumi, Ibn Arabi, Attar, and Hafez, and pre-historic masters from Polynesia, Australia and the Americas. From Buddhism to Taoism, from Astrology to Platonism, from Medieval Alchemists to Central Asian poets of yore, (and more), this podcast provides an easy way to access the simple meditation and happy life practices developed by the wisest masters to have graced this planet. Zebediah Rice guides you in an easy and free way to learn to meditate, become more mindful, energetic, happy, peaceful, and mentally sharp. Just sit back, relax, and let me do the work for you.

Split Screen - An Exercise in Emotional Self Mastery (20 Min) Aug 25, 2017

Show notes

If you have ever had a big emotional response in a situation that doesn’t require such a strong reaction (or are feeling sad for no apparent reason), then this exercise is for you. The principle here is that you are the master of your emotions: If you don’t want a particular emotion in any given situation, you can drop it. But you have to realize you have the power to do this and then develop mastery of the “dropping it”. How do you do this? Like anything else you want to master, you have to practice. With this guided meditation practice you can reprogram that connection, you can refile the memory/emotion connection. This is the full length version. A word of caution: these meditations can bring up some very strong past emotions. Please proceed with care and seek professional help if you do have serious traumas to deal with.

Refiling - An Exercise in Emotional Self Mastery (20 Min) Aug 25, 2017

Show notes

You are the master of your emotions. If you don’t want them in any given situation, you can drop them. But you have to realize you have the power to do this and then develop mastery of the “dropping it” technique. But how? Like anything else you want to master, you have to practice. If you are not a master of your emotions already, that means your emotional self, like an unruly dog, needs to be re-trained. The following guided training meditations, which we can call "Refiling," are a good way for you to train this part of your self. A word of caution: these meditations can bring up some very strong past emotions. Please proceed with care and seek professional help if you do have serious traumas to deal with.

Taking Responsibility (5 Min) Aug 25, 2017

Show notes

Each of us has the power to leave a dysfunctional life behind. One of the best and simplest things we can do, as a sort of antidote to being stuck in an unhappy life, is to make believe that we are 100% responsible for whatever is happening to us. Our mantra has to change from "He, She, or It did it to me" to "I did it." Use this practice to drive that lesson home.
