Podcast May New Moon:  Aloha Beloveds! It's a NEW MOON in taurus and the first of my 40th orbit around the sun! I have an energizing BREATHING PRACTICE for you this New Moon. This practice will reset your nervous system and clear the clutter in the mind, so that you can return and reside in the divine essence of who you are in your natural being mode, rather than your doing or having mode.  In the first part of the podcast I briefly explain and explore:  ~ Human Being vs. Human Doing ~ The Being mode vs. The Having mode: What the difference is, and why cannot meet our Being Needs through the Having Mode, and why it will lead to suffering ~ The Kleshas, or impurities that keep the mind from wakefulness and clear awareness.  The five Kleshas are Avidya (ignorance), Asmita (egoism or I-am-ness), Raga (attachment), Dvesha (repulsion and aversion), and Abhinivesha (fear of death and the will to live). Breath, movement, journaling, time in nature, quiet, ritual, meditation, all of these practices clear away the false self and return us to our natural state of Co-Creativity and Peace. You are creating your reality. The level of your consciousness is where you are creating from. If you are vibrating in the frequency of fear, judgment, shame, restlessness, hoarding or needy-ness, you will manifest things in your world that reflect this back to you. If you are creating from a space of I create because I CAN! And I Choose to, you align with the divine flow of the cosmos, with the Dharma.  I share on this podcast the practices that have transformed my life, upleveled my awareness, and aligned me with the creativity, pleasure and joy that is our birthright.  You deserve to, and you CAN, live in alignment with EASE, PURPOSE and JOY.  This 10 min Breathing Practice can change your life if you dedicate 10 min a day to this practice.  Another practice, that I speak about a lot, is writing.  Being a part of a writers circle TRANSFORMED my life. Through the sacred practice of writing and then being witnessed as I shared the full truth- I continue to liberate more of my authentic expression. Join Joy and I in The Creators Circle, so you can Liberate your Authentic Voice, Tap into the Create Genius that wants to flow through you, and be healed and witnessed by heart-centered divine Sisters who are on the path.  We are offering a few first come-first serve SCHOLARSHIPS for 30% or 50% off the Creators Circle.  PLEASE click THIS link to fill out the short application: (All the way at the bottom of the page)  We begin June 8th!

Dawn of an Era of Well-Being: The Podcast

That which haunts us will always find a way out. The wound will not heal unless given witness. The shadow that follows us is the way in. – RumiDeepak Chopra is a veritable one-man institution, with over ninety books to his credit, several of them making the New York Times bestsellers list. He is also fonder of The Chopra Foundation and Chopra Global. We at “Dawn of an Era of Well-Being: The PODCAST” are proud to count Dr. Chopra among the contributors to the book, Dawn of an Era of Wellbeing: New Paths to a Better World by Ervin Laszlo and Frederick Tsao (SelectBooks, ISBN 978-1-59079-515-6) for which he penned both the Foreword and the article, “Human Well-Being and the Pathless Path”. As you will hear, Dr. Laszlo and Dr. Chopra have a long history of collaboration, and similar aims of elevating human consciousness through the vectors of science and spirituality—as does our co-host, Frederick Tsao, from a markedly East-Asian point of view. Our discussion with Deepak will continue an overarching theme across this podcast, of harmonizing such supposed dichotomies—science and spirituality, East and West, etc.—and demonstrating how their very existence is more a matter of perception than of reality. And how a stronger awareness of the perception is part of the path to higher consciousness and the condition of Well-Being. To quote Dr. Chopra from his chapter in Dawn of an Era of Well-Being:  Morality and spirituality add meaning to human existence, and the one thing human beings cannot tolerate for long isn't poverty—but a meaningless life. If we cut to the quick, all models for achieving well-being are fatally flawed by using the reducing valve. When infinite possibilities are squeezed down into a few possibilities, advocated for our own good, the price is too high. Instinctively, children rebel when a parent says, “It's for your own good,” and the same is true when we are faced with formulas for well-being.Join us today for a very special episode of our podcast as Frederick Tsao, Ervin Laszlo, and our moderator, Alison Goldwyn take a close look at the human condition with the extraordinary Deepak Chopra. Deepak Chopra MD, FACP, founder of The Chopra Foundation, a non-profit entity for research on well-being and humanitarianism, and Chopra Global, a whole health company at the intersection of science and spirituality, is a world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and personal transformation. Chopra is a Clinical Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of California, San Diego and serves as a senior scientist with Gallup Organization. He is the author of over 90 books translated into over forty-three languages, including numerous New York Times bestsellers. His 90th book and national bestseller, Metahuman: Unleashing Your Infinite Potential (Harmony Books), unlocks the secrets to moving beyond our present limitations to access a field of infinite possibilities. For the last thirty years, Chopra has been at the forefront of the meditation revolution and his latest book, Total Meditation (Harmony Books, September 22, 2020) will help to achieve new dimensions of stress-free living and joyful living. TIME magazine has described Dr. Chopra as “one of the top 100 heroes and icons of the century.” www.deepakchopra.com

Peace! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5E6WCP8KAS4NG Bhaskar Ramachandran is an acclaimed exponent of the dynamic philosophy of Vedanta in the UK. He has dedicated his life to the study, teaching and advancement of the knowledge. Based in UK he is the managing trustee of the Vedanta Institute London. Bhaskarji, as he is popularly known, is a senior disciple of the eminent philosopher A. Parthasarathy. After a promising career in the Merchant Navy he joined the 3-year residential course at the Vedanta Academy in India. Since graduating he has been studying and teaching Vedanta for over 25 years vedanta.org.uk. The philosophy of Vedanta teaches the presence of divinity in every being: the real nature of man and the entire universe is divine. The purpose of human life is to develop and manifest this divine nature. The different religions in the world constitute many paths to that realization. Unity in diversity is the immortal theme of Vedanta. We talked about "likes" (Raga) and "dislikes" (Dvesha), we find in the Bhagavad Gita commented by Swami Parthasarathy. In the discharge of our worldly duty, we will have to encounter all kinds of likeable and unlikeable situations. We must practice neither to yearn for the likeable situations, nor to avoid the unlikeable situations. When we stop being slaves of both the likes and dislikes of the mind and senses, we will overcome our lower nature. And when we become indifferent to both pleasure and pain in the discharge of our duty, we will become truly free to act from our higher nature. If you want to live life in a meaningful and prosperous way, the Bhagavad Gita is a must to read and learn from, regardless of one's religion or faith. This is because it goes beyond things that go far beyond such man-made discrimination. Swami Parthasarathy greatly simplifies complex learning by making it accessible. Swami Parthasarathy has published nine books which present ancient philosophical teachings and the wisdom of Eastern and Western thinkers. Three of them have earned bestseller status. His lessons have fascinated audiences around the world for over fifty years. It is widely acclaimed by prestigious universities, institutions and organizations. - Join my Facebook Group Meditation Mindfulness Yoga Mantra www.facebook.com/groups/642191676459430 - Here my short stories about Kindness (I giorni della gentilezza- Paperback - Italian version)- tinyurl.com/3vfud2c9 - Here my book Learn Māori Culture and Proverbs (paperback) tinyurl.com/6zmvz9tt - Version with Full Color Images - www.amazon.com/Learn-M%C4%81ori-…1621334435&sr=8-3 - Poster Maramataka: tinyurl.com/pht4easb - Here my book dedicated to Lo-Fi Music (ebook and paperback), tinyurl.com/r2d69dyb - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries. - Here my book with illustrated philosophical short stories (ebook and paperback), tinyurl.com/rpcd5c - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries. - Here my book Black Book Note www.amazon.com/BLACK-BOOK-NOTE-i…32&s=books&sr=1-1 - Here my journal dedicated to the great italian poet Dante Alighieri tinyurl.com/42rt7jjh. - E-book and Video on www.lofimusic.it. - Here my fashion brand dedicated to Spirituality, www.mantratshirt.it.

Wie kannst du Dwesha, Abneigung und Groll, überwinden? Dwesha heißt Abneigung, Nichtmögen. Dwesha, manchmal geschrieben auch Dvesha, kann ein großes Hindernis sein. Das Gegenstück zu Dvesha ist Raga, Mögen und Verhaftung. Solange der Mensch von Raga und Dvesha beherrscht wird, ist er unfrei. Raga und Dwesha können Informationen des Unterbewusstseins sein. Es gilt aber, nicht Sklave zu sein, sondern geschickt damit umzugehen. Und es gilt, allumfassende Liebe zu entwickeln . . Dies ist ein Vortrag von und mit Sukadev Bretz. Er ist ein Teil des Yoga Vidya Multimedia Sanskrit Audio Lexikons zu Yoga, Ayurveda, Meditation, indische Kunst, Kultur, Philosophie, Religion und Spiritualität. Dieser Vortrag ist eine Mischung aus Information, Inspiration für den Alltag, Unterhaltung und spirituelle Unterweisung, eine Art spirituelles Infospiritainment.

3rd chapter: verses 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40The lecture was given by Swami Tattwamayananda on April 10, 2020.-36th verse: Arjuna’s question – “Impelled by what force, do we do unpleasant things, even though we are unwilling?”-37th verse: Lord Krishna says – Kāma (Desire) and Krodha (Anger) are the two great enemies. They are also linked to the two problems of Rāga (attachment) and Dvesha (Aversion), discussed in earlier verses.-33rd verse: Even a wise man is seen as following his natural, psychological disposition. This is true of even great mystics, but they do their natural duties, from a higher perspective. Story of Vyadha is discussed – he was a realized person, but did not give up his profession as a butcher.-34th verse: Our natural tendency is to have attraction or aversion to stimuli from the senses. Mind interprets experiences from these stimuli as Sukha (pleasant) - to which it develops attraction - or Duhkha (unpleasant) – to which it develops aversion.-If we allow mind to be enslaved by these sense stimuli, we are doomed - mind will waver with sukha and duhkha. Mind should be the master of the senses, not enslaved by them.-If we can free the mind from extreme attachment and aversion, we will conserve energy and mind will be in a state of equilibrium.-Mallinātha defines Rāga as: We remember certain experiences of the past that are stored in Chittam. We feel a strange attachment towards them, even though we know it is spiritual slavery.-Patanjali discusses Rāga as something that brings external enjoyment that is momentary. Once it disappears, what is left is unhappiness. Happiness is nothing but temporary absence of unhappiness.-Rāga can be given a spiritual promotion with Bhakti. If you want to love something, have love for something sublime and transcendental. Love God. This sublimation of mental disposition is called Bhakti – it becomes a tool for our spiritual progress.-Dvesha can also be given a spiritual promotion. Have aversion towards things that are not good for us or humanity.-35th verse: It is better to practice one’s own Swadharma, even if practiced imperfectly, than doing someone else’s work in a perfect manner.-Examples of danger when entrapped by sense objects are provided from the animal kingdom. Deer (sense of hearing), Elephant (sense of touch). Moth (sense of seeing), Fish (sense of taste), Bee (sense of smell). Each of these creatures reaches death as they are guided by one of their senses. What to speak of humans who have five senses active all the time.-The intellect should control the mind, which should control the senses. Then senses then become obedient and useful instruments.-37th verse: Kāma and Krodha are the two enemies that draw our mind to actions that we don’t want to do. There are four other enemies: lobha (greed), moha (ignorance), mada (pride), mātsarya (envy). Kāma is the chief enemy.-When kāma emerges in mind, we direct efforts to fulfill it. If we are successful, we are happy. If not, we get angry. Anger leads to delusion, which leads to loss of memory – at that point, senses take control of our whole personality.-This happens despite intellectual awareness, as mind and intellect do not co-operate. Religion and philosophy are tools to free the mind from senses.-38th and 39th verse: As fire is covered by smoke, mirror by dust and embryo by amnion – so also, mind is enveloped by kāma and krodha. Knowledge is covered by kāma – it is like a fire that should be controlled.-Kālidāsa’s Kumārasambhavam: “Youth, money, power – each individually can lead to one’s downfall, if one has no spiritual common sense. What to speak of all them combined together”.-40th verse: Kāma resides in the antaḥkaraṇa (mainly mind), five senses of perception and five senses of action. Antaḥkaraṇa refers to four compartments: mana, buddhi, chitta, ahamkara.-When kāma enters the mind, it activates the senses of perception and action, prompting them to fulfill the desire. Slightest failure can have a devastating effect on a mind that is not in control of senses.-Ancient ayurvedic verse from Sushruta Samhita, emphasizes that physical health needs to be complemented with a pleasantly disposed and contented mind, senses and spirit.-This is only possible by linking the mind to the transcendental because psychological problems can only be solved at the spiritual level. Mind can be given a higher orientation by feeding it with spiritual ideas – then it becomes stable. Then it can look beyond the world of senses. It remains steady in pain and pleasure, happiness and adversity.

This lecture was given by Swami Tattwamayananda at Stanford University on June 30, 2019. The lecture was hosted by the Stanford Hindu Students Association. Verses: 66-76-The first stage of spiritual life is discrimination between the real and unreal (nitya-anitya-vastu-viveka). Nitya means Atman or unchanging Absolute Reality. Anitya means “the changing” or non-eternal.-Avidya is the absence of knowledge of the absolute truth. When we are in the spell of Avidya, we have desires and we direct our efforts towards the fulfillment of those desires.-An elaborate analysis of the Non-Self (anatman). Descriptions of sthula-sharira (gross body) & sukshma-sharira (subtle body) are provided. Strive to go beyond the cycle of birth and death and put your own effort towards experiencing the absolute truth. We have to think of ourselves as beyond the body and mind. Atman is our true identity.-Life of Tulsidas is briefly discussed.-A spiritual seeker should develop dispassion to anitya and not assign permanence to what is impermanent. The Buddhist concept of Trishna – desire for impermanent things – is discussed. -Raga-Dvesha is discussed. Raga is an obsessive desire for something that we know is harmful to us, but we are not able to get out of it. Dvesha is obsessive hatred towards someone or something, that one is not able to get out of. Both are types of enslavements.-Conflicts are natural to the mind; the mind is full of momentary thoughts and one cannot determine what thought will emerge next. To make the mind steady, one should not fight the conflicting thoughts – rather one should direct the mind toward a higher goal.-When sense objects guide our senses, which guide our mind, which guides our life – our life loses its direction. Our mind then is our tormenter, our worst enemy.-Example of dangers of guided from sense objects is provided from the animal kingdom. Deer (sense of hearing), Elephant (sense of touch). Moth (sense of seeing), Fish (sense of taste), Bee (sense of smell). Each of these creatures reaches death as they are guided by one of their senses. What to speak of humans who have five senses active all the time.-When one observes their thoughts, they become a witness and are no longer attached to the thought and not affected by it. To become mindful, one has to go beyond the mind.-A spiritual seeker should practice the six disciplines discussed earlier in Vivekachudamani. These six disciplines take to “Prasada” – inner contentment. Good, noble, unselfish deeds also take one to “Prasada”. Example of helping a blind man crossing the street is provided. Inner contentment is a sign that mind is our friend.

Este episódio é parte do conteúdo do novo curso do YogIN App - o curso trata sobre o tema do medo, analisando-o segundo escrituras antigas da Índia com a Katha Upanishad e o Mahabharata. O objetivo de abrir essa reflexão é pensarmos o quanto o medo nos paralisa e impede que expressemos nossa real Natureza. Patañjali já havia observado isso, e não à toa coloca dois tipos de medos como impedimentos da expressão da nossa verdadeira identidade. Dvesha = aversão (medo gerado por uma experiência dolorosa) Abhinivesha = apego à vida ou medo da morte. Os medos são importantes, eles nos protegem de ameaças, mas inegavelmente também dificultam muitas das nossas atitudes. Nesse podcast, eu trouxe o exemplo de uma etapa muito importante no processo de despertar mais ousadia que é A Prepração. Dois aventureiros profissionais, tentaram ao mesmo tempo conquistar o Polo Norte em 1911, um deles chegou um mês antes e com toda a equipe em boa saúde. O outro, apesar de ter as tecnologias de ponta e mais recursos, viu a Bandeira do outro país cravada no ponto dos 90º.

The word meditation in Tibetan language means no to focus. It is not concentration, focus, samaadhi, tranquility, peace or bliss. The word in Tibetan is to familiarize yourself. Meditation is to become familiar with who you are. So that you can come off the conditioning done by society, religion, peers, family and friends so you go past the labels that I am a man or a woman, a hindu or a muslim or an Indian or an American. It is to know yourself beyond all these labels that who you really are. In essence, that is what meditation is about. There are hurdles and afflictions in meditation. Afflictions are what stop you from progressing in life. Yogic scriptures list five types of afflictions that can be categorized into three types, intellectual, emotional and instinctive. The five types of afflictions in Sanskrit are Avidya, Asmita, Raga, Dvesha, Abhinivesha. Ignorance and lack of wisdom is the first affliction in the intellectual affliction. Ignorance has been put at the root of all sufferings. All sufferings we experience in life arise from ignorance. Listen to this discourse by Om Swami to understand the afflictions in meditation.

Avidya means thinking of yourself as separate from other beings. Raja (attachment) and Dvesha (aversion) bring us further into the feeling of being seperate, selfish and scared as we divide the world into beings we like and beings we don't. The goal of yoga is to overcome attachment and aversion in the mind and to feel our true selves as interconnected will the whole universe. Feeling ourselves as "other", leads to feelings of dis-ease, confusion, anger, sorrow. Healing can begin when we see ourselves in others and others in ourselves.
