In a world that often feels divided—across families, communities, and workplaces—this week's episode explores a deeper understanding of togetherness. While unity is often associated with unconditional acceptance, the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches that true unity also requires responsibility and alignment. Healthy teams, relationships, and communities are built not only through love and openness, but also through clear boundaries that protect the culture and shared vision.This conversation explores why difficult conversations and courageous boundaries are sometimes necessary for real growth. Avoiding them may feel easier in the moment, but it can ultimately create greater challenges for everyone involved. By approaching these moments with intention, certainty, and a desire for the highest good, we can transform uncomfortable decisions into opportunities for greater clarity, stronger relationships, and space for the right people and opportunities to enter our lives. Join us for the next episode of Weekly Energy Boost with @ElishevaBalas and @EitanYardeni.  Watch LIVE Sundays at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET on The Kabbalah Centre YouTube or catch the latest episode wherever you listen to podcasts.Find out more about our work, dig into our archives, and send us a message at: www.weeklyenergyboost.com.You can also help make Weekly Energy Boost possible by making a tax-deductible contribution at www.weeklyenergyboost.com/donate-today.

This meditation is a gentle yet powerful journey into self-compassion and inner child healing.In our everyday lives, we are in constant motion; achieving, responding, and giving, while quietly neglecting the parts of ourselves that needed tenderness most. Over time, this can create deep fatigue, emotional distance, and a subtle disconnection from our own heart.This practice invites you to return to the softest, most vulnerable part of yourself, the inner child within. Through a soothing visualization set within a magical garden, you will meet yourself in the form of a growing flower: a living symbol of your life journey, your resilience, and your unique path. As you witness the seasons this flower has endured, you will begin to honor all that you have carried and all that you have become.Bathed in nurturing pink light and guided by the energy of unconditional love, this meditation helps restore the compassion, warmth, and recognition your heart may have longed for. This journey supports you in:

Prayer is talking to God, a conversation, between a loving God and his loving children. But how do we get started? Pastor Lucas takes us on the next step as we as a church cultivate a culture of prayer. We are invited to decide to pray, to make it a discipline, which creates a desire for a life of prayer, and that will lead us to the good gifts God has destined for us.   Speaker: Lucas Prado Publication: March 1, 2026

Organizing protests on a national scale? Democrats can do that in spades. Cultivating local candidates—not so much. Charles Duhigg, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and author, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the success of Republican strategy to develop local leaders and why the Democrats have fallen behind, the difference between organizing and mobilizing, and why “all politics is local” really does win elections. His article in The New Yorker is “What MAGA Can Teach Democrats About Organizing—and Infighting.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

New episode on the Sisu Lab Podcast! In this conversation, I speak with my dear friend and Aikido teacher Richard Moon (6th dan black belt), who has practiced the art for more than 50 years and has applied its principles in leadership development and conflict resolution around the world. We explore Aikido not only as a martial art but as "a way of being that can be used (also) for martial arts." It's an embodied practice for building innate capacities necessary for harmonious relating between people, who all have egos and differing agendas. Beyond a practice that will give you a healthy and awake body, it's a practice that can develop inner balance, harmony, and increase emotional intelligence. The ability to not only endure pressure, but also act wisely under pressure. To transform our inner discord so that we don't transmit it to others when we are stressed. It's about getting aware of our energy and its impact on others.In addition to applying and experimenting with a variety of somatic practices to explore their impact, Aikido is central to developing my ability to self-regulate my energy, calm my mind, and become aware of my own internal unprocessed stuff, so that it doesn't become the 'stuff' in my relationships. It has become one of the core ways to learn self-management, do personal development work, and, quite frankly, stay sane in these times. There are many ways to self-know; this one is dear to me, and I warmly encourage everyone to find theirs.So, in this conversation, Richard shares insights from decades of practice on how the principles of harmony, connection, and awareness of our energy can transform how we meet challenges and live better. He talks about aikido as "harmonizing ourselves with the universe" - and explains what the heck that means in real life. : ) The conversation at times goes into anecdotes that might feel relevant to those already practicing aikido, but as you listen in, there are gems that I believe can be inspiring to anyone.You can find out more about Richard's thoughts on Aikido via his YouTube channel at @moonsensei. You can, for example, start with this video, which is one of my personal favorites. Richard's book Quantum Aikido: The Power of Harmony can be found at www.quantumaikido.com. It's also available in Finland through Suomalainen Kirjakauppa. Links to show below!Thank you again, Richard, for what you are and what you bring.

Leslie continues the Steadfast Heart series with a powerful look at how being in a right relationship with God can impact our emotional health in a positive way. Allowing sinful habit patterns and unconfessed sin to remain in our lives will place a barrier between us and our God, which causes us to miss out on the joy, peace, confidence and security that comes from having a heart cleansed by the blood of Jesus. As Leslie shares, when we allow the God's Spirit to gently cleanse impurity from our lives, we will experience the buoyancy of being set free from the controlling power of sin. This episode offers practical ways to walk through a spiritual cleansing process in cooperation with the loving correction of God's Spirit.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

Cultivating awareness in our heart is a great practice to hone at any time of the year, but especially in the season of Lent.  In this episode, we share the parts of scripture that captured our attention and brought us into prayer. We discuss trying to cultivate an awareness of the distortions we believe about the Lord, how we are modeling the Christian faith to others, and who in our life has their eyes fixed on earthly things?  We hope this conversation can be a springboard for you to spend time in scripture, letting the Holy Spirit move your heart.Send us your comments!

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter deep dives on how geo-political environments affect us.  In a time of global conflict, political polarization, and social fragmentation, what psychological forces are shaping our world?In this episode of Inspire Change with Gunter, we explore the psychological roots of patriarchy and authoritarianism — and how fear becomes a powerful organizing force in both individual and collective life.  Gunter examines patriarchy not merely as a social structure, but as a moral economy — a system linking control, safety, and worth. When threat perception rises, attention narrows. Fight-or-flight intensifies. Emotional complexity collapses. Fear becomes weaponized.This episode explores:• How patriarchy operates as a moral economy• The psychology of authoritarianism and narcissistic defenses• How fear narrows cognition and fuels polarization• Loneliness as a public health crisis and its role in social fragmentation• The decline of global democracy and its psychological effects• The erosion of shared reality in modern information environments• Practical strategies for rebuilding psychological resilience as social trust declines and democratic norms weaken, emotional literacy and vulnerability become not weaknesses — but protective capacities.Gunter offers grounded interventions for maintaining psychological freedom in turbulent times:✨ Restoring emotional complexity✨ Rebuilding local trust✨ Practicing cross-community contact✨ Daily habits that strengthen agency✨ Cultivating inner work as ethical groundingWhen fear becomes power, it shapes systems.But resilience begins in the individual psyche.This conversation is not about politics — it is about psychological agency, community repair, and the emotional foundations of democracy.GratitudeHello to all our listeners, we thank you for tuning in and promoting positive social change.  This makes you a part of Gunter's efforts in transforming not only men's lives but lives in general and we are grateful you have joined us.   This week we are sharing our gratitude both globally and in the USA.  Let's start with our listeners from Canada.   We want to thank our listeners in Toronto & Ottawa Ontario, Montreal Quebec, Victoria & Vancouver British Columbia, and Halifax Nova Scotia as you're responsible for getting Canada all the way to #4 on the Global Listeners List!And now for the USA, a special shoutout goes to the city of DeMoines (duh-MOYN) for bringing Iowa to #9 on the USA Top 10 Listeners List!CONGRATULATIONS!!!We thank you so much for your continued support as we appreciate your efforts toward positive social change!  I, DeVonna Prinzi the Co-Exec Producer and our Show-runner Miranda Spigener-Sapon sincerely thank you and ask that you please take the time to like, follow, subscribe, and share as your efforts make a difference to everyone here at Inspire Change with Gunter.We would love to hear your stories of social change!  Please remember If you want to share, you can reach out  to the show directly.

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, automotive sales expert Sean V. Bradley is joined by Kalina Bradley and Tianna Mick for a powerful conversation on leadership, family business dynamics, and the evolving future of automotive sales! "Don't be afraid to reach out and get the help that you need to make yourself successful." - Kalina Bradley This episode explores what it truly takes to thrive in today's competitive dealership environment, from mastering dealership processes to leveraging data mining, equity mining, and customer retention strategies that drive consistent profitability! Drawing from their experience at the NADA Conference, the trio shares insights into emerging trends, innovative dealership tools, and the strategies top-performing stores are implementing to increase throughput and gross profit. "Nature or nurture?... It's definitely both." - Tianna Mick Kalina highlights the measurable impact of a structured trade-up program and how dealerships can unlock hidden revenue within their existing customer base. Tianna dives into the importance of personal branding in automotive sales, balancing professionalism with authenticity, and standing out in a crowded marketplace. Together, they unpack how women in automotive leadership are reshaping dealership culture and influencing the next generation of sales professionals! "If we get better, our audience will demand that we get bigger." - Sean V. Bradley Whether you're a dealer principal, general manager, sales manager, BDC leader, or automotive sales professional, this episode delivers practical insights and forward-thinking strategies to help your dealership grow sustainably in a changing market.   Key Takeaways: ✅ Mindset and Balance: Kalina underscores the importance of a positive mindset in achieving success and the balanced dynamics of working alongside family. ✅ Embracing Opportunities: Tianna emphasizes leveraging the opportunities within the automotive industry and employing resources like training to excel. ✅ Value of Data Mining: Kalina shares actionable tips on how data mining and equity-mining campaigns can yield tangible results for dealerships. ✅ Family Business Dynamics: The episode showcases the interplay of family dynamics in running a successful business, highlighting a robust familial synergy. ✅ Constant Improvement: Inspired by anecdotes of industry stories, Sean discusses the perpetual need for personal and professional growth within the automotive realm.   About Kalina Bradley Kalina Bradley is an experienced professional in the automotive industry with a celebrated career traceable to her early start in sales. She has gained multifaceted expertise through roles in sales, loyalty and customer retention, finance, and dealership management. Currently, Kalina has joined Dealer Synergy, contributing her rich industry experience to enhance the company's training and consulting services. About Tianna Mick Tianna Mick, also known as T Got Your Keys, is a recognized figure in the automotive sales training realm. Aside from her influential work with Dealer Synergy, Tianna's reputation extends to her prowess as a professional speaker, consistently offering insights on dealership strategies pertaining to modern sales techniques and customer relationship management. She thrives in leveraging social media and digital platforms to revolutionize the traditional dealership model.     Navigating the Automotive Industry: Lessons in Family, Leadership, and Innovation Key Takeaways: Embrace family dynamics in business to foster a supportive and resilient work environment. Prioritize continuous improvement over quick growth to ensure long-term success. Harness the power of mindset and adaptability to thrive in evolving industries. Exploring the Role of Family in Business Success In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the concept of a "family business" often conjures images of small, corner stores or boutique operations. However, as demonstrated by the Bradley family's enterprise, Dealer Synergy, incorporating family into business can lead to substantial success, even in large-scale operations. Tianna Mick and Kalina Bradley illustrate this dynamic in action, noting, "It feels like a small mom and pop, right? But we're literally helping multi-billion dollar organizations partner with OEMs like Toyota." The unique advantage here lies in the innate support system and motivation derived from working with loved ones. As Sean V. Bradley articulates, "Every day, I get to go to work with my wife for the last 19 years… so when I am on my deathbed, I am not going to be complaining. I wish I had a couple more seconds." By fostering such an integrated family-business environment, the Bradleys not only strengthen their personal bonds but also amplify their business impact. This synergy is particularly evident in how effortlessly Tianna and Kalina collaborate, drawing on diverse strengths to drive Dealer Synergy's mission forward. The implications of this family-oriented approach extend far beyond personal satisfaction. For the automotive industry and businesses at large, integrating family dynamics can concurrently nurture a resilient company culture and a unified vision, both pivotal in navigating the challenges of today's market. Leveraging family ties in business also ensures that an organization's values align seamlessly from leadership to execution. Continuous Improvement as a Strategy for Growth A standout theme in the transcript—and in business more broadly—is the emphasis on improving rather than just expanding. This mindset is encapsulated in Sean V. Bradley's anecdote about Chick Fil-A founder Truett Cathy, who famously stated, "I don't want any of you to talk about how we're going to get bigger and faster. The only thing I want to hear about is how are we going to get better." For businesses in the automotive industry, this philosophy underscores the importance of focusing on enhancing operations, customer service, and internal processes, rather than simply chasing after sales. Kalina Bradley echoes this sentiment when discussing her experiences in the automotive industry: "Learning something new is hard… Anything worth doing is going to be hard." By prioritizing excellence in these areas, businesses position themselves to naturally attract more customers and opportunities. This strategic focus is not only applicable to dealerships but can be adopted broadly across industries seeking sustainable growth. As echoed in the transcript, "If you keep doing what you're doing, you're going to keep getting what you're getting. You get complacent with mediocrity." Therefore, a commitment to constant improvement is crucial for achieving enduring success and staying ahead of the competition. Mindset and Adaptability as Keys to Thriving The discussion also highlights the profound impact that mindset and adaptability have on one's success in any career. Both Tianna and Kalina credit their upbringing with instilling essential principles that have guided their professional journeys. As Kalina observes, "Your mindset is your reality," drawing from the teachings of self-improvement methodologies like "The Secret" and the principles of the law of attraction. The significance of mindset extends beyond personal growth; it fosters an organization's adaptability, a critical trait in dynamic industries like automotive sales. Embracing a flexible and open-minded approach allows businesses to harness innovations and quickly adjust strategies in the face of changing trends. As echoed in the transcript, "The year of the human… we're really evaluating the amount of value that we provide for our dealers." Cultivating such a forward-thinking mindset within teams can also drive innovation, empower employees, and enhance problem-solving capabilities. As LA Williams from the transcript aptly summarizes, "You are who you spend the most time with." Surrounding oneself with positive influences creates an environment where individuals can grow collectively, contributing to the continuous evolution and success of the organization. Kalina and Tianna's narratives help pave the way for a deeper understanding of how personal experiences and beliefs shape professional endeavors, ultimately reinforcing the symbiotic relationship between an individual's mindset and their business acumen. In looking at the Bradleys' stories, it becomes evident that the heart of their business success lies in a holistic approach encapsulating family, constant improvement, and an empowered mindset. These principles not only guided their journey through the automotive industry but offer valuable lessons for businesses eager to thrive in an ever-evolving marketplace. Moving forward, organizations across various sectors may do well to adopt these insights, fostering environments where family dynamics, relentless self-betterment, and adaptable thinking are prioritized. Such an approach, mirrored by the Bradleys, stands to yield positive outcomes, positioning businesses for momentous achievements in the future.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors:   ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Automotive Sales Mastermind Facebook Group with over 29,000 automotive professionals worldwide.

Hello and welcome to the ZimmCast. I'm Chuck Zimmerman. In this episode of the podcast I'm going to share some audio from the National Ethanol Conference. While Laura McNamara worked with Syngenta Seeds at Commodity Classic, which overlapped with the NEC, yours truly drove to Orlando and took photos, interviews and session audio in a custom virtual ag newsroom on AgNewsWire.com. To start out with, Patrice Banks, Founder of Girls Auto Clinic, who spoke at the NEC Women's Leadership Breakfast, also spoke at one of the sessions. Hers was titled, Cultivating a New Crop of Ethanol Advocates. Renewable Fuels Association staff member, Kendra Coulson, Marketing and Membership Manager, helps with educating new audiences and she has worked with Patrice and her audience. On a different topic RFA has scholarships given out at the NEC. I thought you might like to hear how one winner of the Young Professionals Network scholarship is Verena Hopkins.  If you would like to hear more about what is going on in the renewable fuels world and specifically, ethanol, check out our virtual newsroom. We've got plenty more and besides the newsroom you can see stories from it on Energy.AgWired.com and the latest episode of The Ethanol Report. That's the ZimmCast for now. I hope you enjoy it and thank you for listening.

In this episode of Tell Me It Will Be Okay, I interview Brandy Jemczura of Columbus, Ohio, founder of Seeds of Caring, a nonprofit that connects children ages 2–12 (and some middle schoolers) with volunteer and activism opportunities to build empathy, kindness, and agency. We links service to anxiety support and resiliency, emphasizing four cornerstones: feeling lovable, capable, able to handle emotions, and developing a resilient self-concept. Brandy shares how Seeds of Caring grew from 285 child volunteer experiences in its first year to over 57,000 annually, now operating in Columbus and Indianapolis, and explains how programs use children's literature, reflection, and hands-on projects to address tough topics without “othering,” using asset-framing language and reinforcing that everyone needs help sometimes. We discuss parent concerns, privilege, and how small actions can create hope and community impact. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro00:30 Action as Anxiety Relief00:55 Resiliency Cornerstones02:33 Volunteering Builds Regulation04:38 Meet Brandy Gemchura05:19 Seeds of Caring Origin Story08:22 Scaling Up and Facing Fear10:45 Why Ages Two to Twelve14:00 What Two Year Olds Do17:32 Culture of Caring Ripple Effects19:37 Winning Over Nonprofit Partners21:56 Talking Tough Topics With Kids24:02 Hope for Overwhelmed Parents25:22 Favorite Family Activities25:44 Goldfish Fairness Lesson27:43 From Empathy to Action29:11 Avoiding Othering Language32:07 Kids Growing With Service35:09 Kindness Versus Nice37:54 Privilege Into Next Steps41:02 Helpers and Mental Health43:56 Scaling to New Cities45:17 Start Small Anywhere46:58 Parents Modeling Kindness49:24 Final Wrap and ResourcesWant to know more about Seeds of Caring?

The smallest daily rituals can be transformational if not ignored. In this Tough Things First podcast, Ray Zinn explores the idea that what do everyday, when you least feel like it, builds grit unlike anything else. Rob Artigo: Ray, I know this is a rhetorical question for you because I know the answer already in advance, but I'm going to […]

You say you want a masculine man.A man who leads.Plans.Pursues.Protects.Provides.Chooses you boldly.But here's the truth most women aren't told:If you want masculine energy…you must be willing to anchor into your feminine.And no — this isn't about being passive, playing hard to get, or shrinking yourself.It's about polarity.It's about energetic alignment.It's about dating from confidence instead of anxiety.In this episode of Legacy of Love, we're breaking down what feminine energy in dating actually means — and what it doesn't.In This Episode, We Cover:✨ What dating from your feminine energy really looks like✨ The difference between magnetism and manipulation✨ Why over-functioning kills attraction✨ How to stop chasing and start choosing✨ The power of detachment in early dating✨ Cultivating inner safety so you don't date from survival mode✨ How to communicate from desire instead of criticism✨ Why “doing less” can actually create more polarityWe Also Dive Into Your Real Questions:Can I text him first?What if I haven't heard from him all weekend?At what point do I start planning dates?Should I get him a Valentine's gift?When is it appropriate to have sex?If we go on a trip, should I expect him to pay?How do I stay feminine when I deeply want marriage and kids?You'll learn how to navigate these moments without slipping into anxiety, chasing, or overcompensating.What You'll Walk Away WithFeminine energy in dating isn't about strategy.It's about:• Receptivity without passivity• Warmth with boundaries• Desire without desperation• Self-worth without performanceIt's about shifting from:“Does he like me?”to“Do I like him?”Because a high-value woman doesn't audition.She discerns.Go Deeper…If you're ready to embody feminine magnetism on a deeper level — not just understand it intellectually but actually live it — my online program LOVER is designed exactly for that.Inside, we explore feminine embodiment, polarity, secure attachment, erotic confidence, and how to create relationships that feel passionate and safe at the same time.You don't have to chase love.You can become magnetic to it.>> CLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SPOT IN LOVER

How much of your life is spent performing a role versus actually inhabiting your own skin? For many high-achieving women and business owners, the "hustle" isn't just a schedule, it's a shield. Today, I'm joined by my partner in crime, Stephanie Singer, to pull back the curtain on our last BLSS retreat and why the "magic" people felt wasn't accidental...it was deeply somatic.We dive into the necessity of physical proximity in a world that has become overly digitized and disconnected. As a trauma expert, I see how often we try to "mind" our way out of core wounds, but true transformation happens when you are witnessed in a safe, high-frequency container. We discuss the radical act of valuing yourself enough to step out of your daily environment and into a space designed for your expansion. This isn't just about a "getaway"; it's about deprogramming from the societal expectations that demand women be everything to everyone while leaving nothing for themselves.We explore how vulnerability acts as a catalyst for leadership and why reclaiming your consciousness requires the courage to be seen in your most authentic state. What becomes possible when you finally place the highest value on your own soul?TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSWhy the "magic" of BLSS was actually a somatic recalibrationThe irreplaceable frequency of being "in the room"The "percolation trap"How collective vulnerability accelerates trauma healingEmbodiment vs. PerformanceWhy high-achieving women refuse to invest in restorationIs "doing nothing" the most productive part of integration?Shifting the cultural narrative of what women owe the worldShedding the Ancestral MaskYour seat at the table is a choice, not an accident**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.Practical solutions, breathwork sessions, journaling prompts, and more...

You've embodied the culture. Your team sees you living the values, producing results, proving it works. That's good. And, embodiment alone won't scale. At some point, you need structure in order to build culture. You need a deliberate process for cultivating culture across the organization.

Derek Rishmawy and Alastair Roberts take up the problem of Christian doomerism in an age of AI development, geopolitical instability, and algorithmic anxiety — diagnosing why our moment feels uniquely threatening, then building a theology and practice of realistic hope from the Sermon on the Mount, the Psalms, eschatology, and the concrete habits (prayer, scripture, crocheting) that keep despair at bay. — Get your copy of Mere Orthodoxy's ebook, Spiritual Formation for the Family, by going to http://mereorthodoxy.com/family Mere Fidelity is a podcast from Mere Orthodoxy and is listener-supported.

Confidence is not about loving how you look. It is about resilience, safety, and agency in eating disorder recovery. In this thoughtful and grounded conversation, Dr. Marianne Miller sits down with therapist, educator, and podcast host Rachelle Heinemann, LMHC, LPC @raquelleheinemann, to explore the deeper emotional and relational layers beneath body image distress and disordered eating. Rather than focusing only on surface-level body image strategies, this episode examines how confidence develops through resilience, meaningful connection, personal agency, and small intentional steps taken over time. Together, they discuss why traditional approaches to body image may feel incomplete, how unsafe environments can intensify negative body thoughts, and what it truly means to cultivate confidence in the context of eating disorder recovery. This conversation offers compassionate, clinically informed insight for anyone navigating body image struggles, low self-esteem, chronic disordered eating patterns, or the long path of healing. What We Explore in This Episode The relationship between body image, confidence, and disordered eating. Why confidence is better understood as resilience rather than appearance or personality. How safety, stress, and environmental context influence body image distress. The role of agency, assertiveness, and small achievable steps in recovery. Why meaningful, supportive relationships are foundational to confidence building. How deeper emotional needs often drive body image pain more than physical appearance. Practical ways to begin cultivating resilience in eating disorder recovery. A Different Way to Understand Confidence Many conversations about confidence center on visibility, charisma, or loving one's body at all times. In this episode, Raquelle offers a more compassionate and realistic framework: confidence as an internal, flexible resilience that can grow even when fear, uncertainty, or body image distress are still present. Through clinical stories and lived therapeutic insight, this discussion reframes confidence as something that develops through curiosity, connection, and repeated small acts of courage, rather than perfection or performance. About Rachelle Heinemann, LMHC, LPC Rachelle Heinemann is a licensed mental health counselor in New York and a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey. She specializes in working with individuals experiencing disordered eating, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.

This episode of Here and Now is from the first part of a Ram Dass lecture in St. Louis, Missouri, on February 27th, 1992. Check back soon for the conclusion of this talk. Ram Dass begins by talking about how the primary practice in his life is karma yoga, using the stuff of life as a route to liberation. The process of karma yoga is about cultivating a context, or a spiritual perspective, to see any situation on more than one plane simultaneously.Ram Dass discusses how fear is rooted in getting caught in one plane of reality and how we need to find a balance between separateness and unity. He explores some of the immense changes taking place in the 90s, including ecological destruction and economic disparity. We can either respond to the change and the chaos with fear, or we can respond to it as an opportunity to awaken. Ram Dass talks about the roller coaster ride that is living in the Kali Yuga, and how working with death and dying helps him respond to times of change with great appreciation.

You do your dharma, you do your part, you play your part in it. And yet, at that same moment, there is absolute equanimity in you about it. What is required in the process of karma yoga is cultivating a context. And that's what's called a spiritual perspective… It's a context so that you see any situation on more than one plane simultaneously.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
