How can our relationship with fear deepen our practice?In this rich talk, Dale Borglum explains that in fear, we are separated from our feeling of unity. Yet, all true contemplative traditions teach that the end of the spiritual path brings us to the realization that all is one. He speaks of the two main spiritual paths: Devotion and Self-Inquiry.Both share the practice of meditation to realize oneness and the fact that we are not the contents of our thoughts or experiences. To approach that sense of oneness, Dale shares several methods for dealing with fear, including:BECOME GROUNDED - inhabit the part of our body that is supported by the ground beneath us, even as we experience life events. The goal is to pay attention FROM being grounded, rather than paying attention TO being grounded.THE TANTRIC 3-STEPBe mindful of the feeling: feel the fear rather than just think about it. Feel compassion for the part of yourself that has become lost in fear; Tantra practice, experiencing being at one with an enlightened being.   DEEPEN YOUR FAITH - believing that we are whole already and can let go of the concept that everything needs to be fixed. ______________ Dale Borglum founded and directed the Hanuman Foundation Dying Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the first residential facility in the United States to support conscious dying.

How can we use the experience of anxiety to understand the Buddhist concept of emptiness? Dale Borglum shares that our understanding of emptiness is necessary for conscious living and conscious dying, the subject of his life work. Just being on the spiritual path can lead us into anxiety at times, because we are letting go of our identity. This anxiety can be a difficult experience because it becomes so persistent in the background that we no longer recognize it. This makes it difficult to differentiate when we are acting out of anxiety versus wholeness and centeredness. Emptiness is often misunderstood as nothingness. It is simply a way of perceiving our relationship with the nature of reality. Embracing anxiety can actually bring us into direct relationship with the true nature of self. It is grasping at the delusion of a non-existent self that gives rise to our suffering. Dale explores how all emotions are healing messages. It is only when we are immersed in the delusion of living in separateness that anxiety arises. By working with anxiety, we learn who we really are and how we can approach our death fully conscious, without fear. We come to see that anxiety is something we experience, but is not our true nature. ______________ Dale Borglum founded and directed the Hanuman Foundation Dying Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the first residential facility in the United States to support conscious dying.

Hey Heal Squad, get ready to heal, transform and grow through the power of vulnerability and surrender with Heal Squad All Stars Lewis Howes, Annie Lamott and Vishen Lakhiani. We discuss equating surrender with weakness - which I was guilty of until I learned to embrace the power of vulnerability. We also discuss confronting suppressed memories, particularly around sexual abuse, and the scarcity of representation, struggles with self-abandonment and repetitive relationship patterns, engaging in an inner dialogue with our younger selves to unveil deep wounds, and empowering commitments to radical self-love and authenticity. The episode also explores the enriching experiences of cultural diversity during travels, spreading hope and empathy, lessons learned from engaging with older adults and the significance of sharing love and acts of service. If you seek inner peace and meaning, this Heal Squad All Stars is a must!   Vishen Lakhiani Power of Focus in Meditation: focus on healing or personal growth makes longer meditation sessions more manageable.  Benefits of Short Meditation Sessions: just 15 minutes of the 'six phase' practice yields benefits for brain cognition, productivity, and clarity. Rectify with Ability and Equanimity: allowing individuals to forgive past traumas, let go of negativity, and reduce the need for constant recognition. Transcendent Healing Influence: focused forgiveness practices lead to unexpected healing.  Profound Reach of Forgiveness: a practice that can transcend space and time beyond scientific measurement leading to mutual healing.    Anne Lamott Changing Perspective on Surrender: a path towards peace of mind and letting go of weapons rather than a display of weakness. Radical Self-Love and Self-Care: instead of seeking external achievements or possessions, nurture oneself and become attuned to the source of love and peace within. Shifting Focus from Receiving to Giving: fulfillment comes from what is given.  Honoring the Elderly: connecting with and learning from them provides insights to enrich life. Spreading Hope: being a source of hope for others creates a collective atmosphere of optimism, thereby reinforcing the shared hope. Lewis Howes Power of Vulnerability: the concept of vulnerability as transformative begins the journey. Challenging False Confidence: false confidence and ego-driven behaviors are defense mechanisms born from past traumas and the need to appear tough and competent. Addressing Childhood Sexual Abuse: the lack of representation and societal expectations hinders the ability to confront trauma.  Inner Child Dialogue: therapeutic technique of conversing with your inner child allows suppressed emotions from childhood to surface and induce healing.

Hey Heal Squad, how often do you feel insecure, unsure, anxious, ashamed, and even that you're viewed as an "old" person? Many people, especially women throughout the years, feel like this. I'm not immune to any of it, but thanks to my guests on this All-Stars Edition, I know that plenty of remedies exist. Brooke Shields shares her journey to self-acceptance and how it's key to unlocking true potential and overcoming societal expectations and stereotypes due to age. Melissa Wood Tepperberg shares her practice of completely transforming herself in less than a year. Annie Lamott shows us how to pursue dreams and step into the shape that awaits us while practicing self-care, emphasizing the power of storytelling, and owning one's experiences to heal and connect with others. Brooke Shields "I'm not going to let you shake me. I'm just not going to give you that much power." Ageism and societal expectations: Aging brings relief, freedom, and power. Resilience and overcoming hardships: Setbacks do not define one's path. Seeking therapy and professional support is key. Cultivating a supportive network: People and professionals that ground you. External judgments and societal expectations do not define self-worth. Melissa Wood Tepperberg "Commit to yourself. Evolve to who I'm really meant to be, the best version of myself." The vital practice of Self-Observation. Commitment to Practice: The negative consequences of not doing self-work. The Mind-Body Connection and the role meditation plays in connecting them to heal. Evolving Identity: Constantly evolve toward your best version and do not allow anxiety or negative emotions to define you. Micro Moments of Self-Care to achieve macro results. Different practices work for different people. Anne Lamott "We're hungry for what we're not giving." Surrender is NOT weakness or giving up – it's aligning with goodness and love. Radical self-love and self-care are the first moves before extending that love to others. True, lasting fulfillment comes from giving, being of service, and filling the needs of others. The thing about honoring older generations. Hope through giving: Sharing love, kindness, and support creates a force field of hope and connection.

What happens when we vow not to run away from difficulty, but instead develop a relationship with what we're trying to escape? What do we turn to when we are avoiding things? Can we vow not to run to that distraction over and over? Dale talks about the nature of vows across the three main Buddhist traditions: Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana. He describes the foundational vow as giving up the desire for things to be different. He posits that surrendering to hopelessness must precede fearlessness, and describes the 3 characteristics of compassion as spaciousness, connectedness and warmth.   ____________ Dale Borglum founded and directed the Hanuman Foundation Dying Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the first residential facility in the United States to support conscious dying.

“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you insane your whole life.” - Annie Lamott.

On this week's episode, I admit that my Mama Bear instincts have been ignited. That maternal instinct of wanting to protect my cubs from any threat of danger. Whether the threat of danger concerns my own adult children, concerns women if the Supreme Court Justices overturn Roe v. Wade, or the threat impacts all marginalized people. It's striking that this assault on women, their bodies and their choices regarding reproductive health, occurs the same week as Mother's Day. May we truly honor mothers. My Mama Bear feels outraged, yet learning patience, trust and a focus on love. I share excerpts of Annie Lamott's Ted Talk, highlighting that need to refrain from rescuing others, to look within for serenity and peace of mind. Lamott describes radical self care as quantum. For years, I've been teaching the Mama Bear in me to refrain from fixing, saving and rescuing. My Mama Bear is learning to pause even in the threat of danger. I am working on trusting that we as a country will find our own way. May we all practice radical self care. May our radical self care be a gift to the world. Happy Mother's Day! Enjoy the podcast. RBG quote: “The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a woman's life, to her well-being and dignity. It is a decision she must make for herself. When government controls that decision for her, she is being treated less than a fully adult human responsible for her own choices.” Links: Anne Lamott's Ted Talk

“No" is a complete sentence.” ― Annie Lamott   Baby, it's just you and I today! Kindness vs. boundaries- we need both, but what is the balance? This is a quick love note from me to you (and to myself) to PROTECT YOUR MAGIC aka use boundaries, they are kindness to yourself. Today I unpack the literal definitions of kindness, boundaries, and personal boundaries. Relationships are one of the great gifts in life and we need to communicate when things are ok and not ok with ourselves. Trust your body/gut accordingly and draw a line where need be, this is your permission to do so! All relationships will be stronger with boundaries (and of course kindness). The more we talk about boundaries and create safer spaces for our hearts to march forward, the more kindness we will have to offer those around us. Especially the ones we care about most.     Highlights: Kindness vs. Boundaries. It's not about you, it's about me. Protecting your magic to share more if it with the right people. Deeper self-understanding = deeper human connection. Communication, elevation, renovation. Being the example. Self-care. Tradition, expectation, and managing societal pressure.

The faculty of Navigating Systems continue their irreverent conversations titled:Three Failures on a Couch. Rave reviews from their first video blog titled “Three Failures on a Couch” prompted the faculty of Navigating Systems to continue their dialogue addressing real world application of Bowen Family Systems Theory to family and professional life. As the author Annie Lamott relates “there is nothing outside of yourself that will help in any way, unless you are awaiting an organ; you cannot buy it, or steal it, or marry it; this is the most horrible truth". This second conversation relates how each person addresses the opportunities to be more of a self in their family and work relationships. Sometimes successful, often a continuing work in progress, each effort provides ways to evaluate and consider new strategies for the listener to become more of a self.

Last week we thought about our Five Life Commandments--a decision framework for making choices. Let's talk today about why we need a decision framework and add a little bit of context. Why do you do what you do every day? We do things because we've put them on our schedule…we take our kids to school or to piano lessons. We do things because other people ask us to. We do things because we have a deadline. We need to pay the cell phone bill because there's a due date. Sometimes our motivations for actions aren't what they seem. We eat because we're hungry, right? Maybe. But, we also eat because it's a habit, we're stressed, we're bored or we're being social. What I haven't mentioned yet…doing things because they're important…is often eclipsed by all the other reasons I've listed. Urgency. Schedule. Habit. Demands of others. These aren't necessarily wrong reasons to do things. But, they tend to get out of our control. They're never-ending. They're not necessarily going to get us what we want. And, by doing too many of them, they'll certainly keep us from getting what we want. Essentially, I'm talking about the difference between urgent and important. Many years ago, Steven Covey popularized a matrix based on Dwight D. Eisenhower's Decision Principle. It involves sorting tasks into four boxes. Box One The first box is things that are both important and urgent. These are meaningful things that have a deadline. They may be things like paying your car insurance which is important because of the deadline or things that are important because they need to be dealt with immediately, like a car that won't start. Box Two The second box is things that are important but not urgent. This would be things that you put on your 5 commandments last week, but don't have a deadline. Things that will make your life well lived. Things that will help you reach your business or personal goals. Things that are less urgent, so they often get pushed aside. Box Three Box three is things that are urgent, but not important. These might be tasks that other people request of you, but don't move you toward a goal. They might be emails or phone calls. These are things that make you feel like you're accomplishing things because you can check them off your list, but they don't actually add to your life in a meaningful way. We get easily lost in this swamp. Box Four Box four is filled with the unimportant and not urgent. Many of our leisure activities live in this box. Time-wasters like social media and Netflix. Video games. Shopping sprees. The usefulness of this matrix come in knowing where a particular task falls and where you want to be spending your time. Using the Matrix Here's how to handle the tasks in each box: Box 1 (important and urgent): This is the DO box. Get these things done. Box 2 (important, but not urgent): This is the SCHEDULE box. Schedule time to focus on these in your life. Intentionally create the time to do them. They won't happen by accident. Box 3 (not important but urgent): This is the AVOID box. Delegate, ignore, or limit these tasks. They're typically not as important as they feel like they are. Box 4 (not important, not urgent): This is the CONTROL box. Use these things to reduce stress, relax, to give yourself a mental break, but use them intentionally and don't let them use you. We spend far too much of our time here usually. This matrix can be used to sort tasks so you can decide how to handle any given situation and to be aware of where you're spending your time. We'll talk more about time next week, but for now, know that ideally, you want to be spending your time in Box 2, on important things. This is not a new idea. It's been popular in productivity circles for a long time. Bailey Cooper writes, “We are, as author Douglas Rushkoff claims, experiencing "present shock" – a condition in which “we live in a continuous, always-on ‘now'” and lose our sense of long-term narrative and direction. In such a state, it is easy to lose sight of the distinction between the truly important and the merely urgent. The consequences of this priority-blindness are both personal and societal. In our own lives, we suffer from burnout and stagnation, and on a broader level our culture is unable to solve the truly important problems of our time.” I spoke about a year ago about my best friend living with stage four cancer. The reality of our mortality means something different to her than it does to people not struggling with a terminal illness. Something totally different. Cancer draws a swift division between things that are truly important and things that don't matter. I know one of the issues I need to deal with in the coming months is that my schedule is too full and I need to take a hard look at all that I'm doing. In the process of thinking that through, I need to start evaluating which box I'm living in. I want to spend my life on things that matter. I want to live in box 2. Meaning should be the motivating factor for our decisions. We established what's meaningful last week. These are the things that belong in our 2nd box. This is what we want to be spending our time doing. Because they're not urgent, though, it's so very easy to put off doing them. And then because, in the words of Annie Lamott, “the way we spend our days is the way we spend our lives.” If we're living out of the urgent but unimportant box, our life becomes urgent but unimportant. We run and run, but accomplish nothing of value. Lao Tzu says, “Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don't have time,' is like saying, ‘I don't want to.'” I got curious where my time was really going this week. Have you heard the saying that the way to figure out what your priorities are is to look at your bank account and your schedule? To take a look at where you're spending your time and your money? I suspect I waste far more time on social media than I'd like to believe. And I wonder how my actual time spent stacks up against my perception of how I'm spending it. Well, I'm going to find out. I downloaded a time tracking app and I'm tracking my time. Just like you can track food, you can track where your time goes. I plan to do it for a month or two, but I'll let you know next week how it looks with a week's worth of data. Last week we figured out what was important to us. This week I want you to take a look at the things you're doing. Are they the things you've listed in your commandments? Are they the important, but not urgent things? Make a list of your activities. How many of them align with your commandments? With what you say is important to you? This is a reality check exercise. Understanding and naming what's important to us is great, but how does it stack up against how you're living now? Where we find our gaps between what we say is important and what we're doing will give us areas we need to focus on changing in the coming months.

Faith today is a complicated business. There is organized religion, politics, irony and expectation. Yet, at its core it’s a simple idea. The notion that we don't have all the answers, that we should express gratitude for what we do have and that we can stop and smell the proverbial roses. In these basic beliefs Anne Lamott has brought together in  Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers,what she knows and believes about prayer and its fundamentals. My conversation with Annie Lamott:
