Ed Kirwan is a storyteller, a filmmaker, a creative, but an educator at his core. He taught science in North London at the age of just 22. He dealt with kids that had a lot of anger in them, a chip on their shoulder, and a real lack of motivation. Their thought processes revolved around a fear of failure, being judged and a lack of aspiration. Ed deferred from the usual teaching methods as he didn't see them as very effective. He would play basketball with the kids, build a trusting relationship, and ultimately, one that included empathy: a skill that he believes is the most important  to our development as human beings. Yet it's one that's almost never practiced or developed at school. So Ed started Empathy Week in 2020 where students are inspired by stories of incredible people that Ted films around the world. The content is gripping and engaging. 5 stories are shown over 5 days followed by discussing the social, cultural and moral themes in class. Then they complete their own empathy action projects - creating solutions to challenges that can change the world. I really loved this episode and I hope you do too!

This is Part Two of my interview with Dr Lisa MillerHappy listening! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is with Dr. Lisa Miller. I first came across her name while watching her on one of my favorite podcasts: the Rich Roll show. She spoke about the link between spirituality and science, something I had never heard about. Spirituality for a lot of us is quite out there, hard to really grasp, and especially difficult to prove. In this episode, we go into many different things spirituality related - from defining it, to talking about deep relationships, inner wisdom, connecting with a higher power and much more - all of this is covered in her new book, the awakened brain. You’ll see that she guides me through two practices in the episode. We’ll post these separately as well so you can access them anytime you need. Finally - we ran out of time with Dr. Lisa and we schedule a round 2 with her soon - so stay on the lookout for that. To give you all a bit more clarity on who she is, Dr. Lisa is the New York Times bestselling author of The Spiritual Child and a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University. She is the Founder and Director of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, the first Ivy League graduate program and research institute in spirituality and psychology. Her innovative research has been published in more than one hundred peer-reviewed articles in leading journals.  Dr. Miller speaks and consults around The Awakened Brain and The Spiritual Child for the US Military, businesses (including tech, finance, HR and sales), personal development, faith based organizations, schools and universities, and for mental health and wellness initiatives.Happy listening! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a pleasure it was having Raghunath on the show - SO insightful. He has the ability to really simplify the complicated. Here is the story, from Raghunath: I've been on such a spiritual quest in this life! From my teens I started a punk/hardcore band called Youth of Today, which championed the principles of clean living, vegetarian diet, and self-control. By the time I was 21, my band had tens of thousands of fans around the world. I was shocked. I started Revelation Records, an indy record label with my high school buddy and signed 20 bands with a similar beliefs and ethics. As exciting as this was, there was a growing void in my heart I knew only Spirit could fill. I got into spirituality, metaphysics, and mysticism; eagerly consuming spiritual classics, my hunger only increased. This eventually manifested as strong desire to go deeper. I split and quit the band. Gave the label to my partner. The teachings of India drove me East and at age 22, I ended up on an ashram floor in the holy village of Vrindavan. That was 1988 — and one of the best choices I made in my life.India before cell phones and satellite TV, what to speak of the internet, was an exotic land.  I got to refine and dive deep into my yoga practice, my study of sacred literature and ritual, learn kirtan, cooking, mantra meditation and living simply with nothing except a few robes on my body. I was blessed with integrity-driven teachers who understood the essence of spiritual life. In 1991 I received the name Raghunath (formally Ray Cappo), representing initiation into lineage and a rebirth. I travelled to ashrams all over the world and the holy places of India, and I simply fell in love with the rich spiritual culture. I remained a monk in an ashram for six and a half years and now, many years later, teach how to incorporate everything I learned into everyday life. Basically how to get the spiritual high without leaving the world behind (or in some cases leaving it). Guess what?  This stuff works whether you're a householder or a monk.Presently I'm the opposite of a monk. I'm married with 5 kids. I co-founded Supersoul Yoga and Farm with my wife, a school in the countryside in upstate NY,  where I lead yoga teacher trainings.  Every year I lead sold-out pilgrimages to my favorite cities & villages around India and share all that I know of these places that I love. In the mood of a pilgrim, I and teach others how to enter these sacred vortexes, that they may receive an unforgettable transcendent experience. Since 2016, every January I lead a game-changing training in India with an ever expanding curriculum. We started with a 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training which we've been refining to be a life changing experience.  We teach the sweet culture of yoga which includes not just advanced yoga and pranayama, but sacred literature, kirtan study, Ayurveda for yoga teachers, Ayurvedic cooking, and yoga nidra. Last year we added an entire second training dedicated exclusively to the study of kirtan. Occasionally I get asked to do a reunion with my band which, when on stage, I realize is extension of everything I speak of today. I'm praying that I can give my students all the life-altering truths of the yoga system that I have learned from my gracious teachers.Forever Student is hosted by Stephan Muller and brought to you by the audiophiles at Dukkan Media.

What a pleasure it was having Raghunath on the show - SO insightful. He has the ability to really simplify the complicated. Here is the story, from Raghunath: I've been on such a spiritual quest in this life! From my teens I started a punk/hardcore band called Youth of Today, which championed the principles of clean living, vegetarian diet, and self-control. By the time I was 21, my band had tens of thousands of fans around the world. I was shocked. I started Revelation Records, an indy record label with my high school buddy and signed 20 bands with a similar beliefs and ethics. As exciting as this was, there was a growing void in my heart I knew only Spirit could fill. I got into spirituality, metaphysics, and mysticism; eagerly consuming spiritual classics, my hunger only increased. This eventually manifested as strong desire to go deeper. I split and quit the band. Gave the label to my partner. The teachings of India drove me East and at age 22, I ended up on an ashram floor in the holy village of Vrindavan. That was 1988 — and one of the best choices I made in my life.India before cell phones and satellite TV, what to speak of the internet, was an exotic land.  I got to refine and dive deep into my yoga practice, my study of sacred literature and ritual, learn kirtan, cooking, mantra meditation and living simply with nothing except a few robes on my body. I was blessed with integrity-driven teachers who understood the essence of spiritual life. In 1991 I received the name Raghunath (formally Ray Cappo), representing initiation into lineage and a rebirth. I travelled to ashrams all over the world and the holy places of India, and I simply fell in love with the rich spiritual culture. I remained a monk in an ashram for six and a half years and now, many years later, teach how to incorporate everything I learned into everyday life.
