Kulavadhuta Satpurananda (Khyapababa) was initiated into the secret oral tradition of the great Indian lineage of Buddhist tantra at the age of five. He then spent decades practicing under great Indian gurus and mystics. Kulavadhuta is an artist, teacher and research guide in Buddhism, Tantra, Sufism, and the Indigenous practices of Mystics of India and Tibet. And at the heart is an Avadhuta, one who has transcended worldly concerns and even the dharma.    Time notes: 00:00:00 Introduction 01:05:80 Spiritual matriarchy from birth 0:6:30 Early spiritual experiences 00:10:00 Near-death experiences as a child 00:11:00 Knowledge making him an orphan 00:14:00 Spiritual experience with Baba Ramnath Aghori 00:22:00 Cremation ground practice 00:22:56 Internal conflict around Ma, the divine goddess 00:28:00 Renunciation with  Ma Annandamoyee 00:30:00 Leaving his family and material support, for spiritual life 00:34:00 Museum iconography consultant and designer 00:37:00 Confirmed as an Avadhuta 00:41:00 Self-initiated into Buddhist tantra 00:44:00 Why Vedas are not Khyapababa's cup of tea 00:49:00 Comparing Christian Gnostic, Wrathful Sufi Order, and Leftist Tantra 00:55:00 2 Essences of cremation ground practice 00:57:00 5 Deaths 00:50 Compassionate exorcism 01:03:00 Taking obstacles as the game of life 01:08:00 Life beyond the world and dharmas 01:11:00 Meeting his spiritual partner and marrying at 60 01:15:00 Meaning of a tantric practitioner 01:16:00 On tantric partnership and 5 elemental relationship 01:23:00 Baul traditions historical Siddhas 01:30:00 Ngakpa robes, dreadlocks, and earrings 01:34:00 Non-importance and samadhi 01:38:00 Baba shares a doha by Lalan Shah Fakir of Kushthiya, Bangladesh,19th Century.

If you know the old saying about Luck being Opportunity meeting Preparation,  And then go looking for opportunities first, you may be focusing on the wrong side,  For it's the preparation that reveals the opportunities, and causes their activation Of all the luck you couldn't see before because you hadn't yet hit your stride.   [full text below]   Ep. 411 - Happy Preparation We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! If you know the old saying about Luck being Opportunity meeting Preparation,  And then go looking for opportunities first, you may be focusing on the wrong side,  For it's the preparation that reveals the opportunities, and causes their activation Of all the luck you couldn't see before because you hadn't yet hit your stride. One thing you can do to prepare is build your emotional intelligence--your mood intellect, Like, when things get stressful--How do you react? Do you rage, cry, and complain? Or are you able to take a breath, stay calm, reevaluate, and then redirect Your efforts and intentions, so you can find a way through instead of focusing on the pain. I get frustrated. I get mad. I sometimes want to slap a fool for being so unkind,  but that just adds more Meanness to the world, and I prefer to keep things Nice-- I acknowledge it to myself, and then dismiss it from my mind, --Resist worrying about anything not worth the mental sacrifice. And if you find it hard to tap into your inner feelings, then look at it another way-- Don't think of it as being weird or soft, but instead as a way to build your agility. If you can keep your emotions from scaring or controlling you, then you won't fall prey, And will, instead, be able to regulate your own moods with artful ability. When you get upset at someone and they don't take it seriously--doesn't that make you mad? You wonder why you can't affect their mood, and that they must be very tranquil and wise,  To be self-regulated like that, deciding when they want to be mad, sad or even glad, --The more familiar you are with your own moods, the easier it is to spot their compelling lies. They tell you that the madder you get, the more triumphant the release of righteous indignation,  The sadder you get, the deeper the connection you'll have with yourself and humanity, The gladder you get, the more power you can tap into for higher levels of operation, But sometimes you just feel bothered, down, or manic trying to maintain your sanity. If you keep letting the world determine your extremes, then you might not return,  That's why you need to practice control of your emotions for every situation, Opportunities for Balance and Growth will reveal themselves as you learn, Boosting confidence, and that all begins with Happy Preparation. Haha  Yowza

The Meanness Test Helps you gauge your threshold for emotional unrest. What would it take for you to turn Mean? How far must you be pushed to fully vent your spleen?   [entire text below]   Ep. 410 - The Meanness Test We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Would you like to take the Meanness Test? It can help you gauge your threshold for emotional unrest. You just ask yourself what it would take for you to turn Mean? How far must you be pushed to fully vent your spleen? With some people, all it takes is a Monday morning, With others, someone would have to burn their house down, What's it for you? What can cause you to rage out with little to no warning? And make your inner vengeance monster escape, and go to town? Let's test it, shall we? Not for real, but just to see. Let's say you drive up to a four-way stop and it's just you and one other car, You got there first, so you have the right of way, but they take it away from you. Do you lean on the horn? Do you race after them and tailgate or follow from afar? Do you internalize their actions and let them decide what you do? Or, let's try this--you get to work early in order to get a jump on the day, And someone chooses that moment to grind their coffee beans nearby, The sound is so loud it sends all your thoughts into wild disarray, So, do you start plotting their downfall, or just shrug your shoulders, smile and sigh? Or how ‘bout this one? You're pulling into a parking space, but you're off center,  So, you back up a tad to re-do it and get blasted by someone leaning on their car horn! You get out and come face to face with some abusive, screaming tormentor, Do you listen quietly or do you wish someone would've kept him from ever being born?  Still feeling good? Or are you starting to crack? Do you regret agreeing to this test? And wish you could take it back? Hey, you can stop at any time, but you'll miss the lesson if you do, Because I am only citing examples that happened to me, in order to help you. Here's the capper. You come back early from your lunch break and are met by your boss, He proceeds to berate you at the top of his lungs about something he blames you for, And the kicker is, you didn't even do it, so it leaves you at an utter and absolute loss, So, do you fire back? Do you read him the riot act and bang his fat head against the door? You want to know what I did? I did not act Mean--heaven forbid! Sure, I felt the unease, But this is about Happy, so, please! With the stop sign runner, I laughed and said “go get it, son!” With the coffee bean grinder, I filmed myself reacting to all that fun! With the parking lot yeller, I wrote down his license plate while I smiled, And with that toxic boss, I talked to him calmly for an hour until he was no longer riled. Having a sense of humor and the heart of a storyteller keeps me focused on the tale, ‘Cause it's only when I take things too seriously that I start to crumble and fail. I've laughed off punches, and insults, and bullies galore, I've even helped others find the funny where they couldn't before. That's my secret, that's my trick, when someone makes me mad, I make a joke, It helps me release all the fury before I suffer a Meanness stroke. I want to stay Nice and I want to stay calm, it's how I want to be, and what I want to do, And why I drew a cartoon of someone being pushed off a cliff with the words “Okay, fine. Now I forgive you.” Haha Yowza

Listen to the stories of three women who recently journeyed thorugh my small group mentorship experience, the field.  They all joined for different reasons and had different experiences yet as you will hear, their core values remain the same. The field is currently open for enrolment. Explore all the details and apply here - https://www.felicitydavies.com.au/thefield Carola shares about her journey from dressage to incorporating horsemanship and finally finding her foundation in the field. She's from the Netherlands and tuned in to the call replays each week, soaking in the magic.  Maryline shares about her relationship focussed journey with horses, diving into the world of horsemanship, pursuing a career with horses, getting a young horse and cultivating a lot of acceptance and empathy through her journey in the field. She's from Belgium and also had great success tuning into the call replays each week and flowed at her own pace. Natalie shares about how she originally wanted to join to support her to start her young mare under saddle and then her world got turned upside down. Health issues came to the surface, leading her to make a difficult decision to lay her soul horses physical body to rest. She's joined the field to receive support as she navigated this big transition and I am so proud of her for leaning in and receiving support that she so beautifully offers everyone else. It was an honour to be there for her.

True compassion comes from the soul, not just the mind. It's not about being seen as compassionate or manipulating others. It's about worshiping God by seeing His image in every person we encounter.But here's the twist: Compassionate kindness doesn't mean avoiding hard truths. Sometimes, the most loving thing we can do is speak truth, even when it's difficult.Are we willing to both empathize deeply AND hold the line on truth, just as Jesus did? That's the challenge of Christ-like compassion.Let's be a church that goes into the world with eyes wide open - ready to listen before we speak, but also courageous enough to speak life-changing truth in love.

Psalm 103 | Our Compassionate God | Jon Deedrick

A religious expert asked Jesus for a rule—but Jesus gave him a story. Loving God isn't complicated, but it is costly. It means loving people who are different, inconvenient, or unexpected. If you've ever wondered what really matters to God, He already answered: love well, love wide, love first.

Guest Koren joins Patrick to discuss her fascinating story. From childhood family encounters while growing up in proximity to what is now known as Skinwalker Ranch to her own harrowing experience with her daughter on the Fourth of July. Koren recounts her great grandmother's experiences with "light bulb men" to her mother's close call abduction that led to a profound religious conversion. She also shares her amazing experience of being taken by a "little man" and a praying mantis that ultimately resulted in her losing her fear of extraterrestrials. Patrick picks up on a startling commonality between Koren's experience with the praying mantis and his own encounters with a Sumerian deity.Do not miss this episode!

Being able to understand opposing viewpoints isn't a weakness, it's a strength,  Challenging our assumptions can help us enhance our critical thinking, Boosting innovation and sparking creativity on a whole new wavelength, Allowing us to face the future bravely, well-equipped and unblinking. [full text below] Ep. 409 - Happy Understanding We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! We're all part of the same species, all human beings here on Earth The things that are true of any one of us, are also true of the rest, We all live in the brief mortal span between death and birth,  We all laugh, cry, eat, sleep, drink, relax and occasionally get stressed. We can understand each other just by virtue of being part of the same Human Race, We know the extremes of our own lives and can imagine the same in another's, Perhaps differing in intensity, frequency, quality, type, context or pace, But we feel, think, live and love along the same lines as our sisters and our brothers. And understanding this fact is the first step towards appreciation and respect, We may not always agree, or even always get along, but we can still connect, Our approaches may differ, but our goals are things we all hate to neglect, And our failures are what we learn from despite being the things we'd like to reject. We can cultivate our imaginations, and practice empathy, and compassion, As long as we don't discount others for not being part of the home team, For they may still have things to teach us, as wisdom is never out of fashion, And sharing different perspectives on humanity is easier than it may seem. Being able to understand opposing viewpoints isn't a weakness, it's a strength,  Challenging our assumptions can help us enhance our critical thinking, Boosting innovation and sparking creativity on a whole new wavelength, Allowing us to face the future bravely, well-equipped and unblinking. Haha Yowza

Jacob and Aaron take a look at the readings for the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost, which are Isaiah 66:10-14, Galatians 6:(1-6)7-16, and Luke 10:1-11, 16-20.

Why Beating Yourself Up Isn't Making You Better Rewiring the Inner Critic For most of us men, we were raised on self-esteem, (either resourceful input, or non-resourceful input) Be confident. Stand tall. Don't screw up. Win at all costs. That's self-esteem culture. It's about feeling good about yourself when you're doing well — when you're successful, strong, admired, competent, and on your game.  But the second you fall short? That's when self-esteem gets shaky. You feel like less of a man. This is where self-compassion comes in — and most of us weren't taught this growing up. What's the Difference? Self-Esteem Self-esteem says: “I'm valuable because I'm good at something.” But what happens when you're not good? When you fail? When you screw up as a dad, partner, or professional? You beat yourself up. You think you're weak. You try harder, you push down or numb feelings, you obsess, or you isolate. Self-Compassion Self-compassion says: “Even when I mess up, I still matter.” It's not about lowering your standards or letting yourself off the hook. It's about treating yourself like you would treat a friend. You don't rip him to shreds when he's struggling — you encourage him. You support him. You give him a chance to recover and rise. Why This Matters for Men A lot of men stay stuck in silence because they think they have to “man up” through every failure. We're told emotions make us soft. That kindness toward ourselves is weakness. But the truth? Beating ourselves into the ground never made us better — it just made us more disconnected, more numb, and more alone. Self-compassion isn't soft. It's strength with grace. It's resilience over shame. It's authenticity without self-hate. We often refuse to use self-compassion because we think it's lazy or we will lose motivation if we let ourselves off the hook.  So Which One Should You Build? Both. But start with self-compassion. Because when your confidence fails, your self-worth shouldn't. Confidence is built on success. Compassion is built for failing. And you're going to need both.

There's a way to talk about going vegan that doesn't involve shame, blame, or rigid rules. A way that invites people in, instead of pushing them away. Philosopher and author Matthew C. Halteman, has written one of the most generous, wise, and unexpectedly funny books I've read in a long time—Hungry, Beautiful Animals. It's a love letter to what's possible ...

Handling your moods is your right, you can make them obey,  For that is The Inherently Happy Way. [full text below] Ep. 408 - Mood Happy We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Why are we all saddled with these various human moods? What reason is there for such a mess of sensitive interludes? The primary moods, as I call them, of Mad, Sad and Glad, And the secondary moods of Guilt, Fear and Hope-- Why are we subjected to each and every emotional doodad? What is their purpose, their measure, their scope? Why must we be victims of such strong feelings that so intrude,  Are they not a sign of great weakness and all that that may include? To that I say, nay,  It's only weakness to be at their mercy, letting them win night and day, Being able to handle them is our right, get them to obey, For that is  The Inherently Happy Way. It's a human thing, it's very plain,  Please allow me to explain! Glad is for bonding and for making close friends, Sad is for empathy and for sharing troubles and pains,  Mad is a warning of danger, and unpleasant ends. Fear is the jolt that helps us escape ropes and chains, Guilt is the shame that compels us to change and make amends, And Hope is the outlook that encourages both hearts and brains. They are tools, they are instruments, they are partners, pals, and chums, And when wielded expertly they can help you face whatever comes. So, make friends with your moods, get to know how you feel, Practice them till you own them, or they'll control your steering wheel. Only use them as needed, don't go wild, or get unhinged, And the passions that might've overwhelmed you, will barely leave you singed. Haha Yowza

In this episode of SuperPsyched, Dr. Adam Dorsay converses with authors Wendy O'Leary and Louise Shanagher about their book, 'Growing Self-Compassionate Children.'

They also address misconceptions about self-compassion and its association with productivity and motivation. Strategies for parents to support their children's self-compassion, including practical tips and activities, are shared.

Send us a textWhat You'll LearnLife doesn't pause for your perfect plans. Whether it's a scary diagnosis, staffing changes, or family emergencies, curveballs are coming. But here's what we don't talk about enough: how to navigate these storms with self-compassion instead of burning yourself out trying to hustle through everything.In this episode, we're diving deep into four powerful strategies that will help you maintain your sanity when everything feels like it's falling apart.The Reality Check We All NeedAs physicians and high achievers, we're masters at rallying our resources and throwing 120% into whatever crisis hits us. But that unsustainable hustle? It's not always helping us. The real challenge is learning to sit in the discomfort of knowing there might not be a whirlwind of actions that will magically fix everything.Think about navigating a cancer diagnosis - yours or a loved one's. You know the steps that need to happen, you understand the system, but you have to sit in the uncomfortable slowness of how care actually unfolds. You can't hustle your way through waiting for biopsy results or treatment plans.Four Game-Changing Strategies1. Recognize Your Hustle Pattern (And When It Doesn't Serve You)We need to acknowledge that yes, we're incredible at problem-solving and taking action. But some problems have to unfold over time. They can't be managed with our usual "throw everything at it" approach.The work: Sit in the discomfort of not being able to fix everything immediately. Breathe through it. This is part of being human.2. Know Your Thought Loops (And Have Compassionate Responses Ready)During stress, your brain falls into familiar patterns. Maybe it's "I'm trapped" or "I don't know what to do" or "I'm not good enough." These thoughts will spin endlessly if you let them.The breakthrough: You don't have to stop having these thoughts to make progress. The goal is recognizing the pattern and responding with compassion. When that familiar thought loop starts, pause and offer yourself a gentler alternative: "I'm not stuck - I'm choosing to be here for my family."3. Allow Yourself Stress Responses (Without Judgment)We all have them. Maybe it's shopping (hello, perfectly stocked pantry), scrolling social media, or reaching for that extra glass of wine. Some stress responses are relatively harmless, others cross into potentially harmful territory.The balance: It's okay to scratch the itch sometimes, as long as you're not causing harm to yourself or others. But also recognize that these responses aren't actually addressing the underlying emotion. Ask yourself: "What do I really need here? What am I really seeking?"A note on alcohol: If you find yourself turning to wine or other alcohol to soothe your nervous system, please consider whether this is tiptoeing into harmful territory. I'm not your mom, but as an obesity medicine physician, I see this pattern slip into problems more often than we'd like to admit.4.

Nancy Churchill, chair of the Ferry County GOP, argues that federal land control in the West has become unsustainable and counterproductive.

This week's scripture: Psalm 63Luke 9v18-27This week Adam uses this story in Luke to process through what to do with the looming threat of Christian faithfulness leading to ugliness. Do we trust Jesus' call to come out from the crowds? Do we trust Jesus enough to trust that if we give ourselves more fully to him and his Kingdom ways, we won't come out the other side bigoted, lonely, and generally lacking compassion?

In this episode, Pastor Mark, Jay Austin and Brandon Rieb unpack the message “Compassionate Conviction” from John 8:1–11. Together, they explore how Jesus responded to a tense, public moment - not with condemnation, but with grace and truth. From writing in the dirt to disarming a crowd with one powerful sentence, Jesus models how to lead with both conviction and compassion. This conversation dives into modern-day "stones" we throw - judgment, pride, unforgiveness - and challenges us to drop them in favor of mercy that doesn't excuse sin, but lovingly calls people higher.Website: www.churchatviera.comEmail: sharinggrace@churchatviera.com

Welcome to Protecting Your Nest with Dr. Tony Hampton. Emma Mann is a YouTuber who creates educational content about the carnivore diet (see links below). She is also the founder of Compassionate Carnivore—a natural skincare brand that focuses on creating products that are not only free from harmful chemicals, but come from a loving and humane place.

In this episode of Leadership with Heart, I sit down with Tracy Nolan, Senior Vice President of MarketPoint at Humana, for a candid and powerful conversation about what it truly means to lead with both strength and compassion. Tracy has spent her career guiding large teams through complex transformations, including overseeing 14,000 employees during the merger of Sprint and T-Mobile at the height of the pandemic. Her ability to remain focused on people, even in the most high-pressure environments, is what sets her apart. This is a conversation about rejecting the myth that caring is soft or ineffective. Tracy shows that empathy and accountability can not only coexist but also fuel one another. She shares stories of leading through layoffs with humanity, building trust through weekly listening sessions, and constantly preparing her teams for the future by investing in their growth and readiness. Tracy discusses openly what it means to create a culture where performance expectations are clear and where people feel supported, heard, and valued. Her approach to leadership is rooted in genuine connection, honest communication, and the belief that strong leadership starts with caring about your people. If you've ever questioned whether it's possible to lead with heart while driving real results, Tracy proves that you don't have to choose. You can do both. And in today's workplace, doing both may be the only way to lead well.  

Years ago, Olivia Sproat stood at a crossroads. As a provisional psychologist and former counselor, she was drawn to a unique women's rehabilitation prison in Australia—a place where the focus on compassion and respect seemed to offer a glimmer of hope. Today, she joins us to share her journey into this transformative field, where a pioneering program has slashed recidivism rates to an astonishing 6%, compared to the usual 40%. Through her eyes, we explore how addressing the specific barriers faced by women, especially mothers battling addiction, can carve out meaningful paths to recovery. The notion of prison life is often clouded by preconceived ideas about punishment and confinement. However, Olivia paints an entirely different picture of Wandoo prison, where emotional safety and community are at the forefront. She reveals how conflict resolution, emotional regulation, and mentorship transform lives within its walls. The therapeutic community here is more than just a concept; it's a living, breathing system that encourages trust and vulnerability, allowing women to connect deeply with their peers and themselves. Olivia's insights challenge traditional punitive models, advocating for a system rooted in kindness and support.
