Episode #96 In this episode, I sit down with G. Scott Graham to dive into the intersection of personal experience, writing, and the evolving landscape of communication in our tech-driven world. We explore the role of life experiences in shaping creative work and discuss the importance of honest dialogue, especially when it comes to navigating political and social narratives. Scott's impressive collection of 19 books often tackles deeper truths, blending autobiography with cultural critique. We touch on key topics from his writing, including the gifts of grief, challenges within the gay community, and the implications of medical marijuana and psychedelics legalization. This conversation offers a compelling look at pushing beyond societal narratives to live authentically and embrace honest, open discourse. Takeaways All of the books I've written are strongly connected to experience. I reflect on my experience in those books. Technology has changed the way we communicate. Politics can be divisive and challenging to navigate. Open dialogue is essential in today's society. Personal experiences shape our perspectives. The impact of technology on relationships is profound. Public discourse requires careful consideration. Writing is a reflection of personal journeys. Future discussions should focus on bridging divides.

A Description of episode 132 of Outside The Studio with Tessa: This month on Outside the Studio, we welcome David Benedicktus RN/BSN (retired). David has a 40-year career as a mental health professional working in a variety of mental health settings and focusing on system integration, and patient education projects. In retirement he became a founding member of Complementary Medicine Practitioners of PNW. He organized wellness health promotion talks for the City of Vancouver WA, the local library system and patient support groups. He also became an instructor at Clark College in Vancouver, Washington, for ten years lecturing on the neuroscience of trauma and the relationship between trauma and adaptive lifestyle choices which can lead to chronic disease and addictions. He teaches courses on the Neuroscience of Healing and Resiliency, Preventing Cognitive Decline as You Age, Cannabis and Your Health and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy. Leaning on David's life experience and subject matter expertise, today's conversation explores the theme of inequality and the divide between the haves and the have-nots. It begins with Tessa sharing her childhood realization of the difference between those who have safety and those who are in danger due to war, poverty, and mental health issues. Her father, David Benedicktus, discusses his involvement in the civil rights movement and his work with marginalized communities, particularly the homeless. They discuss the importance of empathy and taking action to address social issues. The conversation also touches on the impact of poverty, and the role of neuroscience in understanding human behavior. Key Takeaways:1.The divide between the haves and the have-nots is a significant issue that affects society. Empathy and understanding are crucial in addressing social issues and helping marginalized communities.2. Poverty and homelessness are complex problems that require structural support and resources. Neuroscience can help us understand the factors that contribute to human behavior and the need for compassion. Cultivating compassion and empathy is essential for addressing the challenges faced by marginalized communities.3. Trauma plays a significant role in shaping individuals and communities, and trauma-informed approaches are crucial for providing effective support. Providing resources such as mental health services and affordable housing can make a significant difference in the lives of those in need.

| 162 | Meditation Session on the Four Reminders and Cultivating Compassion - with Joe Parent by Andrew Holecek

Cultivating Compassion: The Daily Practice Of Love And Kindness—Metta is a Pali word that means "loving-kindness" or "positive energy." which is a traditional Buddhist concept that involves acting with compassion towards all sentient beings while also being aware of the natural world. It's also a way to avoid samsara and rebirth and develop perfect love for all others. Metta is sometimes translated as "universal friendliness" to emphasize the impersonal nature of the affection generated, free from any desire or expectation of return. Happiness Is the Path

Concept of Peace: Siva discusses peace as a profound state of consciousness that goes beyond the absence of conflict. It involves a sense of awe and connection with the beauty of creation and the presence of the divine in the world.Path to Peace and Creativity: Siva shares that his journey to inner peace began in childhood through imaginative play. As an adult, he continues to achieve this state through creative endeavors such as music, art, and writing, viewing life itself as an art form.Illusions and Materialism: He talks about the illusions of the material world (Maya) and how they can be distracting and distressing. Engaging in creative activities helps transcend these illusions and connect with a deeper reality.Spiritual Practices: Emphasizing non-violence (Ahimsa), Siva highlights the importance of cultivating love, kindness, and compassion. He also discusses the need to understand different perspectives and resolve conflicts through reconciliation and understanding.Role of Music and Nature: Siva reflects on how music and nature have been central to his life and well-being. Immersing oneself in nature and creative pursuits helps maintain balance and counter the disturbances of modern, materialistic life.--Stephen (Siva) Longfellow FiskeBorn into a musical and artistic family in New York City, Stephen was a natural in singing and acting, andperformed in school plays and musicals from elementary school through college. He wrote poems andsongs in his head and on paper before becoming a self-taught guitarist at the High School of Music andArt during the folkmusic era of the 60's. After attending Civil Rights Marches in New York City, Stephentravelled to Washington DC in August, 1963, to take part in the Great March on Washington whereMartin Luther King Jr. gave the “I Have A Dream” Speech which greatly impacted Stephen towards hispeace and justice activism. Greatly influenced by the songs of freedom and equality and the call forsocial justice of the Civil Rights Movement, Stephen developed his own unique folk music style, andwhile in college, did his first public performances in the Greenwich Village coffee houses, such asGerde's Folk City and the Bitter End. After college, he travelled to San Francisco where he became thelead singer and writer with an acid-rock band, “The Bycycle.” The Bycycle became booked by a majoragency and performed with such acts as Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Taj Mahal, Canned Heat, andJimi Hendrix. When the band broke up, Stephen began his solo career and over the years has writtenhundreds of songs and produced a dozen albums of his music. He has performed widely across the U.S.and overseas, has sung and done voice-overs on commercials, and his music has been in films and videosoundtracks. An award-winning songwriter, his songs have been covered by such well known artists asJose Feliciano and Luther Vandross. Stephen has been primarily an independent artist selling hisproducts directly to his audiences and keeping a contact list. He is an engaging performer who loves tointeract with his audiences and encourages people to sing-along. Accompanying himself on acousticguitar, he is a peace and environmental activist whose timely message in song, stories, and poetry havemade him a popular performer, always warmly and enthusiastically received by his audiences.--Jerusalem Prayer ProjectStephen Fiske Music Hosted on Acast.

We begin by sharing a quote from the Dalai Lama, highlighting the importance of compassion in today's world. We invite those struggling with anxiety, panic, or trauma to start with self-compassion, acknowledging that it may be challenging for individuals accustomed to caring for others more than themselves. Cultivating compassion has numerous benefits, especially for those experiencing chronic stress and anxiety. It helps to lower overall stress levels and alleviate anxiety by focusing on positive emotions such as love, kindness, and empathy. Compassion also acts as a soothing balm, countering the harsh inner critic and negative self-talk often associated with chronic stress and anxiety. By nurturing self-compassion, individuals learn to treat themselves with kindness and understanding, finding relief from the turmoil of self-criticism. Cultivating compassion also strengthens emotional resilience, enabling individuals to cope with life's challenges more effectively and respond to difficult situations with balance and thoughtfulness. We share a personal experience where practicing self-compassion allowed us to navigate a challenging day more peacefully and prevented self-criticism from further draining our energy. Cultivating compassion also enhances empathy for others, fostering a sense of shared humanity and reducing feelings of isolation, which can exacerbate stress and anxiety. Additionally, compassion practices encourage reaching out to others for social support, creating a stronger network that provides emotional stability and resources to manage stress and anxiety.
