Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei ZMM - 4/14/24 - A tea shop proprietor serves traveling monks a koan to accompany their tea. “Let those of you with miraculous powers drink tea.” Then she says to the stunned monks, “Watch this old, decrepit woman show her miraculous powers.” Then, she simply walks out. Hojin Sensei reflects on this story from "The Hidden Lamp, Stories from Twenty-Five Centuries of Awakened Women".

Solo Episode with host, Sana Akhand; Intuitive love coach, Speaker + Writer. This episode is filled with life updates + my deep insights and thoughts on how relationship work is the root work we need to do to grow our minds + expand our hearts to create space for different point of views and allow for us to trade our judgment for curiosity. This world is becoming more divided and that is not the solution to our planet. War is hurting our planet + our humanity. It is time to think about a new solution to our differences and begin to evolve as a society. This episode also includes a love letter from my wonderful husband who used to be SO emotionally unavailable and it really shows how much humans can grow + evolve when we give each other love

Join me and my beloved husband @newearthmasculinity for a deep soul chat on "How Awakened Women Can Support The Rise Of The Sacred Masculine" where we dive into: Exploring the desire for growth in men: The universal call for men to consistently evolve. Embracing the commitment to self-discovery and facing inner shadows. The art of leading with love. The awakening man's personal journey: The intrinsic urge for self-betterment. Expanding consciousness and understanding one's true purpose. Supporting and complementing the divine feminine. Contemporary challenges men face: The external pressures that suppress masculinity: Understanding the transhumanism and gender-neutral narrative in today's world. The power of women's voice: Emphasizing the significance of women speaking their truths. Understanding and communicating needs and boundaries. Delving into the "Queen's Code" principles. Reviving age-old traditions for modern men: The indispensability of brotherhood in today's age. The significance of rites of passage and initiation for the modern man. Encouraging men to embrace challenges and learn from failures. The importance of clear communication and avoiding over-nurturing. Join us in this insightful episode as we explore the evolving dynamics of modern masculinity and how both men and women play pivotal roles in this journey. A Message From Spencer: My purpose on earth is simple: to ignite the leadership fire within awakening men. Having guided over 300 men into their fullest leadership potential, here's what I've come to understand: A man who commits to annual rites of passage, pushing the boundaries of his consciousness, truth, and mission, stands unshaken. He's not bound by external forces. He leads - himself, his family, his businesses, community and humanity - into the New Earth, especially during these intense, transformative times. MISSION88 is not a walk in the park. It's an 88-day crucible. An initiation. You'll be stretched, challenged, and yes, reborn.Ready to lead with your full leadership capacity and potential in the New Earth era? MISSION88 is your gateway.

Listen in on this candid and wise interview with Myokei Caine-Barret, Shonin, as she shares about her own path of transformation and how we can all create a deeper experience of refuge for each other in the Dharma. She names the importance of sharing about race and increasing awareness in dharma spaces in the face of resistance. And how empowering it can be to leave space for listening, honoring people's unique experiences, and the importance of offering a warm welcome. She encourages us to learn from the radical hospitality in cultures of color, and describes how she used chanting to work with her rage.

Healing is the key to everything."I just really want people to know that everything that they need is inside them already."Carly George is a self-love coach and trauma specialist who helps women to heal from their childhood trauma and to practice self-care in a way that is healing.This is Carly George's story...Carly George is a woman who helps other women heal from trauma. She began her journey of helping others when she realized that the official health system wasn't helping people in the way she thought it should. Carly helps people to understand that everything they need is already inside them and that they don't need to go to an authority figure to get help. Instead, they should create practices that nurture and support them.In this episode, you will learn the following:1. How our childhood trauma transitions into our daughter and how you and how all of us are affected by that 2. How we can practice more self-care in a way that is healing 3. How do you  move past suffering in your emotions, in your lifeResources:https://thyme4teawithmikita.com/Chapter Summaries:[00:00:04] - Ms. Carly George is a guest on Carla's show today. We are going to talk about trauma and how it affects us. [00:01:14] - Carly Jordan is on the path of helping other women to heal. She is inquisitive and she has always read loads of books. Carly believes that people are their own spiritual guidance, and healing is tapping into that spiritual connection to who you are and doing the hard work. People are afraid of their feelings because they don't know how to listen to them. When they learn to reprogram their emotions, they can breathe through them in 90 seconds. It's hard work to do, but when they get used to the process, it's beautiful. Sometimes people get into toxic dynamics with people and they become their own abuses. People can't make you happy, and if that's what you're depending on, then you're never going to find the happiness that you're looking for. It's important to talk to yourself about what you want out of your relationship and then walk away. With each chapter, with each thing there you unlock a different part of who you are. They always should be a level of growth with each chapter. It's like you are like the seasons or the ocean. Not ever the same. Always moving, always flowing. Carly is launching her first group coaching program for women at the beginning of October. It's going to be 8 weeks long, and it's about spiritual, emotional, physical, and self-care.

Hosted by filmmaker Yujiro Seki, Carving the Divine TV is a series of Q&A sessions with Buddhist scholars and practitioners. These Q&A sessions explore the basic concepts of Buddhism, the history of Buddhism and of course Buddhist sculptures/sculptors (bustuzo/busshi) so that when viewers finally watch the documentary Carving the Divine - Buddhist sculptors of Japan, they will get the maximum value of the documentary.We live in a complex world with countless causes and effects creating our reality.  But we have a tendency to try to make things black and white. Personally, I think it is because our culture does not encourage critical thinking as much as it ought to.  Racism is one of the issues that people think they have figured out; they say that they are not racists and racism must stop. But do they really understand racism to start with?  Do I really understand racism?  Just because we don't believe we are racist, are we immune to racism? Are we free from it?  Is it other people's problems?  What is unaware racism?  Today, we will be dissecting racism from the ground up.  We have an amazing and highly qualified guest, Rev. Myokei Caine-Barrett from Nichiren Order of North America who is not only a benevolent, compassionate priest but a strong advocate against racism for over 30 years!  She will help us understand racism not only as a simplistic term but in a profound way.  I'm ready for this discussion.  I hope you are too! We will be asking important questions such as:In your own words, what is racism?  And why should we care about it?  What is the brief history of racism in the USA? What has been your own experience of racism?  Why did you choose Buddhism instead of other religious paths?   Is Buddhism diverse in this day and age?  Does racism exist in the Buddhist community?  If so, in what form? What is cultural appropriation and how does it affect our culture?  So, I often hear people saying that in Buddhism, everyone is equal and race is not the issue.  What do you think of this statement?  Is it important to have diversity in the Buddhist community? If so why?  What can we do as individuals to promote equality in both the Buddhist world and society as a whole?Myokei Caine-Barrett currently holds the position of iBishop of the Nichiren Shu Buddhist Order of North America.  She is the first woman and the first American to hold this position.  She is also the first American woman and first person of African American-Japanese descent to be fully ordained, having completed this process in 2007 with  Archbishop Nissho Uchino  in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.   She is the guiding teacher and priest at Myoken-ji Temple in Houston, Texas.  Myokei Shonin currently volunteers with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice as clergy to two prison Sanghas for the past 16 years in keeping with the Lotus Sutra teaching of full equality of all beings.  Her writings have been published in a variety of Buddhist magazines and newspapers and is featured in “The Hidden Lamp: Stories from Twenty-Five Centuries of Awakened Women.” She is currently developing curriculum for (1) the Nichiren Shu tradition and the Lotus Sutra and (2) dealing with the trauma of incarceration and racism.  She also supports weekend trainings for Healing Warrior Hearts, a Texas for Heroes project designed to truly welcome veterans home. She is also a licensed Religious Science practitioner.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/carvingthedivine)

When we close off to all that is, we constrict and cause suffering for ourselves and others.

We're talking about a subject, or even an idea that is really new to a lot of people and that is polyamorous relationships. We also talk about a man's intuition something you very rarely hear about, as well as being in the stillness to allow the energy that wants to come forward in your life; come forward rather than forcing it just simply sitting and ...

This week's show is with Justin Patrick Pierce, an Author, Mentor and Spiritual Intimacy Teacher. As the founder of Sacred, a Los Angeles based collective of spiritual teachers, coaches and practitioners of the sacred arts, Justin works with select veteran and up-and-coming professionals to help them master their craft and bring their work to the world. As intimacy teacher, Justin is the co-author of the Amazon best-selling book, The Awakened Women's Guide to Everlasting Love, and the leader of transformative high-end retreats including the signature training, Yoga of Intimacy, which he leads with his life partner, Londin Angel Winters. So in this show, we explored the three pillars of spiritual intimacy and swum the deep waters of relating, presence, polarity, spirituality and more... it really was the whole shebang! Justin's presence and depth blew me away, this was an incredible show which I so enjoyed making. If you have an interest in better, richer, deeper relationships with other human beings, you'll love this show too!   I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below. What you'll learn from this episode: The practices of deepening into sacred intimacy is found across the world and throughout history, it seems like this something that's universal to humans. The three pillars that Justin spoke about are: Presence: the embodiment of consciousness. We would love to be penetrated and held by a consciousness that we trust more than our own. We long to to be seen and loved in our totality. And whilst we want it more than anything in the world, its also the scariest thing in the world because opening that much comes with the risk of being hurt. The feminine heart will continually test that presence to see if it can be trusted. Polarity: this is the creative tension that occurs between the poles of masculine and feminine, light and awareness, or form and formless and that in sexual relationships creates that juicy and exciting spark. This will typically be automatically there at the beginning of a relationship but can also be consciously cultivated in long term relationships. For depth, the first pillar of presence is necessary first. Devotion: this is required to show up in this dynamic of intimacy over and over again. It isn't something that's forced upon us, in this modern world we can be independent and self-reliant, however if we desire something more than independence, we can choose into devotion to another person and to the path of deepening into spiritual intimacy with them.

This is the funniest book about the fear of hell I have read. Actress and comedian, Maggie Rowe, producer and performer of Comedy Central’s stage show sitnspin writes about her three month experience in an evangelical psychiatric institution. Diagnosed with a form of OCD known as scrupulosity she couldn’t shake the fear that she might not avoid hell. Maggie is not alone with this fear. She took her heaven and hell religion more seriously than many. Her book is Sin Bravely: A Memoir of Spiritual Disobedience. Because she writes with honesty and deadpan humor she has found a way to reframe her own experience of spiritual abuse and offer a path to others as well. She has written for “Arrested Development” and “Flaked” for Netflix. She co-wrote the screenplay for and directed the New Age religious mockumentary “Bright Day” and is the creator of the theatrical satires “Hollywood Hellhouse” and “Hollywood Purity Ball.” This is the third of my three-part series on Holy, Healing, Spiritually Disobedient, Creative, and Awakened Women, women authors changing religion for the better.

Description: When we are torn, when our longings pull us in different directions, when we feel pinned on the horns of some dilemma, or literally in two minds about something, what is our True Self? Main Text(s) quoted: The Hidden Lamp, Stories from 25 Centuries of Awakened Women, edited by Florence Caplow and Susan Moon.

What is the enlightenment referred to in the story? What do we mean when we talk about enlightenment and kensho? Do these terms as they are used in the Three Pillars of Zen, mislead us? Roshi Sunyana Graef’s comments on how the kensho accounts affected the first generation of Roshi Kapleau’s students. Text(s) quoted: The Hidden Lamp, Stories from 25 Centuries of Awakened Women, edited by Florence Caplow and Susan Moon. Zen Teaching, Zen Practice, edited by Kenneth Kraft

Putting kensho in perspective; the importance of cultivating compassion as well as wisdom. Text(s) quoted: The Hidden Lamp, Stories from 25 Centuries of Awakened Women, edited by Florence Caplow and Susan Moon. Zen Teaching, Zen Practice, edited by Kenneth Kraft

Kakuzan Shido, founder of Tokei-ji, challenged about her ability to teach, brings forth a dagger. Was her act a violent one? What role do such extreme actions play in Zen? What role does pressure (external and internal) play in Zen, and in life? Why are koans so difficult? Text(s) quoted: The Hidden Lamp, Stories from 25 Centuries of Awakened Women, edited by Florence Caplow and Susan Moon.

Prompted by a teisho from Master Hakuin, an old woman looks deeply into her heart day and night until she sees her own mind as the Pure Land, her body as that of Amitabha Buddha. She sees the great light that shines out of everything. Hakuin tests her by scoffing and asking, “Does it shine even out of your arsehole?” She pushes him and exclaims, “I can see that you’re not enlightened yet!”. What does she mean? Text(s) quoted: The Hidden Lamp, Stories from 25 Centuries of Awakened Women, edited by Florence Caplow and Susan Moon.

Shotaku, third abbess of Tokei-ji, fends off an armed attacker with nothing more than a rolled up piece of paper and the force of her finely honed ki. Acknowledging our fears, we can act with courage, training ourselves to respond one-hundred-percent we can discover fearlessness, prior to the arising of thought. Text(s) quoted: The Hidden Lamp, Stories from 25 Centuries of Awakened Women, edited by Florence Caplow and Susan Moon.

Diane Musho Hamilton is a Zen teacher and conflict mediator. In this episode she joins host Vincent Horn to explore some of the themes from her first book Everything is Workable: A Zen Approach to Conflict Resolution. Starting with a description of her early life and education, Diane talks about her introduction to the practice of conflict resolution and how she became the first Director of the Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution for the Utah Judiciary. The conversation then turns to the connections Diane has made between conflict resolution insights and the Buddhist teachings of The Three Poisons. This leads to an exploration of whether contemplatives are naturally conflict averse, what it means to actually practice conflict resolution, and why “everything is workable” doesn’t necessarily mean everything always works out the way we want.
