The Place Where No Rain Falls Apr 28, 2020

Show notes

We all experience the rain of life. And no, I'm not talking about that rain. I'm talking about the rain of discomfort, stress, pain, uncertainty. These are the times when it feels like life is pouring down on us. But there are often hidden gifts in the rain that we must remember to look for. In this episode, we'll discuss what those gifts are and why we wouldn't actually want a life with no rain.

Taking a Break From Your Mind Apr 27, 2020

Show notes

There are two minds, your small mind and your Big mind. Most of our lives are spent in our small mind--thinking thoughts, caught in ideas, wracked with anxiety, or simply confined by the limited bounds of your "self." There's another way to live, and in this episode, I share with how I access my Big mind, even in the mundane moments of the day.

Calming The Mind Apr 23, 2020

Show notes

"Don’t meditate to fix yourself, to improve yourself, to redeem yourself; rather, do it as an act of love, of deep warm friendship to yourself. In this way there is no longer any need for the subtle aggression of self-improvement, for the endless guilt of not doing enough. It offers the possibility of an end to the ceaseless round of trying so hard that wraps so many people’s lives in a knot. Instead there is now meditation as an act of love. How endlessly delightful and encouraging."
-Bob Sharples
