The Power of Meditation, Different Expectations & Authority Figures - Dr. Reggie Ray - 390 Apr 14, 2022

Show notes

In this week's episode of The Relationship School Podcast, we speak with my former spiritual teacher Dr. Reginald "Reggie" Ray. I was also his TA in an undergraduate course on Tibetan Buddhism. This guy completely changed my life.

Reggie is the @DharmaOceanFoundation's co-founder and spiritual director, a university professor (retired) at Naropa University, and a highly respected meditation/dharma teacher.

Our conversation covers a lot of ground, including how being spiritually minded is not necessarily synonymous with being relationally developed or particularly skillful, and the importance of treating every human with respect, despite any issue or conflict.

Listen to the full episode to hear more about Reggie and his powerful journey.

Meeting the Ongoing Stress of the Pandemic, Together - Jayson and Ellen - 383 Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

Can you believe we’re nearing two years into the pandemic? It’s crazy how much we’ve been through and also how much we humans have still been able to accomplish.

But the stress is definitely taking its toll on all of us, and I think it’s important to remember that we’re all relational beings in this scenario together.

It can be too easy to substitute a screen for a person or to avoid fostering a connection for one reason or another when we do have human interaction.

So what’s the best way to keep all this in mind and try to mitigate the collective stress—together—as we go on with our lives?

Ellen and I dissect that a bit in this week’s episode, so take a breather and listen for some ideas!
