Come with us— into God's vision for a people set ablaze by grace, living in wholehearted response to His unfailing love.Speaker: Albert Chung

The discussion highlights the structure and authorship of the Psalms, as well as the importance of meditating on Scripture. Pastor Hanscom contrasts the enduring prosperity of the righteous with the fleeting existence of the wicked, using vivid biblical imagery and personal anecdotes. The episode concludes by encouraging listeners to choose the path of righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, the ultimate fulfillment of the blessed life described in Psalm 1.
Based on Tea Gerbeza's experience with scoliosis, How I Bend Into More (Anstruther Books, 2025) re-articulates selfhood in the face of ableism and trauma. Meditating on pain, consent, and disability, this long poem builds a body both visually and linguistically, creating a multimodal space that forges Gerbeza's grammar of embodiment as an act of reclamation. Paper-quilled shapes represent the poet's body on the page; these shapes weave between lines of verse and with them the reclaimed disabled body is made.

In this episode of Chatechesis, Father Adrian Crowley talks about meditating on Scripture and the importance of forgiveness and Confession L'articolo E50| Chatechesis – Fr Adrian Crowley – meditating on Scripture and importance of Confession proviene da Radio Maria.
In Visions of the Divine (Sophia Institute Press), Catholic evangelist, author, and a top Wall Street executive STEPHEN F. AUTH, reunites the art of the Eucharist with the Eucharistic liturgy itself. Much splendid art adorns and magnificently beautifies Churches throughout the globe, a phenomenathat came under great stress during the Reformation, and especially under JOHN CALVIN. "Calvin, especially, was very much opposed to [Church art]," explains AUTH, in this interview with JOHN AIDAN BYRNE. To order Visions of theDivine: https://www.sojolk8trk.com/99LK8N/29X...Other Books by STEVE AUTH: Pilgrimage to the Museum: https://www.sojolk8trk.com/99LK8N/PHW...Missionary of Wall Street: https://www.sojolk8trk.com/99LK8N/51G...Indeed, much of this early Church art was separated from the context of the Mass for which it was created many centuries ago and is relegated now to museums sprinkled around the world. Along with his co-authors Evelyn Auth andMsgr. Roger Landry, Steve leads the reader on a worldwide pilgrimage to some of the most spectacular and moving artistic masterpieces created over the millennia to help clergy and laity alike penetrate more deeply into the Eucharistic mystery. Journeying to museums and churches in nearly twenty cities across the United States and Europe, the authors will guide you through the liturgy of the Mass in ways you may never have experienced. Whether you attend church out of obligation, for the sense of community you find there, or for the Eucharistic presence itself, Visions of the Divine will help you make these experiences richer, more vibrant, and more fulfilling. And if you've never attended a Roman Catholic Mass and are curious about what happens there, Visions will give you an experience guaranteed to leave you thirsting for more. Narrated in the author's simple, emotive style, Visions of the Divine presents you with dozens of colorful images of thought-provoking art that will immerse you in each element of the Mass at a deeper and more profound level, including: How the simple act of making the Sign of the Cross, which the average Catholic does eight times during the liturgy, can make you cry Quieting your mind to listen more actively to the Word of God and to imagine yourself in the moment as the Word is proclaimed and the author guides you through some of the Scriptures' most iconic messages Imagining the Apostles' Creed as it was carved and painted into one of Europe's most colorful Catholic churches. Meditating on a lasting image of eternity while the collection basket is passed — a practice that will forever change how you think about this relatively prosaic element of the liturgy Reliving the sacrifice and triumph of Christ on Calvary during the Eucharistic prayers through some of the greatest artistic masterpieces ever created. Following the path of biblical figures, such as Mary Magdalene, the prodigal son, and St. Paul himself, to freely receive Christ's healing mercy, forgiveness, peace, and love at Mass Experiencing the sacrament of Holy Communion for what it truly is — communion with God Himself. How to re-enter the world following the Mass with visual images in your head that will make you a more effective evangelist From Rembrandt, El Greco, and Van Gogh to Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Raphael; from Velaquez, Picasso, and Dali to lesser-known greats, such as Pontormo, Masaccio and Drolling, the array of breathtaking art in Visions of the Divine will enlighten your path to communion with God. You will witness our Father's love for you and be encouraged to let yourself be loved by Him within the Eucharistic mystery.

Welcome to a Brain Wrinkling Wednesday with Fr. Tom Koys. Today Father Koys intends to examine the origins of work while examining the impact of AI. Father considers all the work that exist and contemplates whether Jesus purposely left this work to be done. Given that He could have resolved everything that was needed at creation if he chose to do so. Father considers AI and the impact it will have around the world, specifically the jobs that have and can be lost as a result. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish

Today's podcast is a reflection on what goes beyond the words I share here. So much of what I say is about action. Getting the sleep and doing so consistently. Eating well. Hydrating well. Showing up to get the workouts in. Reflecting daily in a journal. Meditating consistently. These are all viral behaviors for me, and they offer a glimpse into the key way of being that comes from what I share, a foundation for living well during good times and bad. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
Most people dabble in meditation. I took a different path. For the last 22 years, I've meditated every single day—more than 10,000 times, without missing once.In this episode, I share the surprising lessons that came from that level of consistency. You'll hear why what people call a “monkey mind” is really just stress leaving the body, how to recognize your heart's voice with more clarity, and why you're never actually behind in life—you're always on divine time. I also open up about how meditation reshaped my relationship to other people's opinions, revealed the truth about soulmates, and helped me make faster, better decisions by choosing what expands me instead of what looks good on paper.These aren't hacks or clichés—they're hard-earned insights from sitting down, day after day, for more than two decades. If you've ever wondered what meditation can really do for you, this episode will give you an inside look.If you enjoyed this episode, you may also like:How to Get Meditation to Work for You5 Meditation Misconceptions that are making it HARDERWant to be more in alignment with your purpose?

1. Introduction and Context * Purpose of the Podcast/Discussion * Association with "Superhuman Selling" and Elyse Archer * Speaker's (Brandon Handley's) role: Running a men's mastermind * Current theme: "Grounding the Leap" 2. Understanding the "Leap" and its Challenges * Definition of the "leap": A breakthrough, a new baseline, a significant shift. * The problem: Leaps can fade into memory without grounding. * The goal: Locking in the leap, stabilizing the "new you" to become the new baseline. * Breakthroughs are exciting but initially unstable. * The nervous system, mind, and body need time to adapt to the new state. 3. The "Being" vs. "Doing" Paradigm for Grounding * Common misconception: Securing a leap through more efforting, habits, and hustling. * The speaker's past experience: Stuck in the "doing more" mindset. * The key principle: 95-98% of locking a leap is "being," only 2-5% is "doing." * The importance of understanding what it means to "live in this new state." 4. The Union of Heart and Mind (Kokoro) * An ancient principle from other cultures. * Concept introduced: Union of heart and mind. * Historical influences: Alan Watts and the concept of "mushin." * The Japanese term: "Kokoro" (written with the character for heart). * Definition of Kokoro: The union of heart and mind, working as one, not in competition. * Western civilization's separation of heart and mind: * The head as the CEO. * The heart ignored or relegated to a passive role. * Consequences: Leaps don't stick, trying to live breakthroughs in the mind while ignoring the body and emotions. 5. Scientific Basis for Heart-Mind Connection * The heart's intelligence: Not just a blood pump. * Heart's neural network: Approximately 40,000 neurons. * Information flow: Heart sends more information to the brain than vice-versa. * Pre-cognitive reactions: The heart reacts milliseconds before conscious thought. * Research backing: Harvard, University of California, and others. * Implication: The body "feels" the terrain before the brain maps it. * Ignoring the heart/intuition leads to reverting to the old baseline. * Tuning into the heart and mind together makes the new terrain familiar. 6. Alignment and States of Being * The principle of "alignment first, action second." * Transition from "contraction" to "expansion." * Defining "contraction": * Physical sensations: Chest caving in, shallow breath, racing mind, heaviness. * Psychological association: The old baseline, fear of the unknown. * Defining "expansion": * Physical sensations: Open chest, deep diaphragm breathing, relaxed shoulders, clear mind. * Psychological association: The new terrain, confidence in the new identity. * Leading with expansion allows "doing" to flow naturally. 7. Practical Exercise: Locking in the Leap * Purpose: To ground the leap in the present moment. * Step 1: Identify Contraction. * Think of things put off since the leap. * Feel bodily sensations of tightening (contraction). * Recognize this as the "old you" trying to keep you "safe." * Step 2: Imagine Expansion. * Visualize the desired outcome of the task being done. * Notice bodily sensations of opening and softening (expansion). * Recognize this as the leap being grounded. * Step 3: Future Action Protocol. * Do not act from contraction. * Pause, find expansion. * Then, move forward. 8. Reinforcing and Stabilizing the Leap * Keeping the leap "unshakable." * Training the mind to spot evidence of the leap. * Recognizing new responses vs. reactions. * "Proving the leap in real time" (Price Pritchett's concept). * Looking for proof while living it, not waiting for external validation. * Past leaps may have been unrecognized. * Opportunities appearing in unexpected ways ("ways that you know not of," referencing biblical phrasing). * "Trusting the unknown" (Price Pritchett's concept). * Recording and acknowledging this evidence in real time. 9. Anchoring the New Frequency (Heart-Mind Lock-In) * A guided breathing exercise. * Technique: Slow, easy breaths through the nose, belly expansion, shoulder softening. * Focus: Calling up the feeling of already living the leap and expansion. * Anchoring the feeling through bodily checks (shoulders, neck). * Establishing the new "home frequency" as living from expansion. 10. Making Choices for Stability * Every choice either stabilizes the leap or slides back to the baseline. * Key check-ins: * Feeling state: Contraction or expansion? * Heart and mind connection: Working together or split? * The power of choice: Choosing expansion, choosing Kokoro, choosing to live in the new state. 11. Invitation to Further Support and Community * Offering help with grounding leaps, experiencing leaps, and identifying leaps. * Mention of the "Superhuman Selling" mastermind. * Format: Bi-weekly, within groups and communities. * Benefits: Support from others and the opportunity to support them. * Concept: "A whole rising tide lifts all ships." * Call to action: Reach out and check it out. * Ultimate goal: Making leaps "sticky" and establishing them as the new baseline/reality.
Too often, we only hear about the curses of God's Laws. Yes, our people have suffered under those curses, but that's not the whole story. The Word of God promises that if we keep His statutes, commandments, and judgments, we will prosper in all that we do — not just in the Kingdom to come, but today.In this message, I share my personal testimony of how seeking God has brought me success, health, strength, and peace — and how turning away from Him brought the opposite. The Bible declares:“Keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways… that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself.” – 1 Kings 2:3 (KJV)God's Laws were given to us not just to warn us of curses but to usher us into blessings:Deuteronomy 28:1-3 – Obedience brings blessings in the city and in the country.Judith 5:21 – If there is no iniquity in us, our God will defend us.Joshua 1:8 – Meditating on His Law leads to good success.This is not just about ancient Israel — this is about you, today. Your wealth, your health, your strength, and your success all come from the Lord. His Laws were meant to make you prosper and keep you in perfect health.

You are called to walk in power—divine power—in every situation. In this message, I share how meditating on the supernatural mysteries of Scripture transforms your life from the inside out. God has placed power within you, and through focused meditation, wisdom, discernment, and supernatural insight begin to unfold. This is about more than reading the Word; it's about allowing it to operate on you and guide you into your divine assignment.This teaching equips you to access daily revelation, overcome spiritual battles, and walk in holiness with clarity and confidence. You'll discover how to step into your authority, experience massive blessings, and live as a supernatural engineer of God's kingdom plans. Your time has come—rejoice and walk it out.July 27, 2025 | SUNDAY AMSunday Morning LiveLeroy Thompson TV FULL VIDEO LINK - Meditating Into The Supernatural Mysteries of Scripturehttps://leroythompson.tv/programs/sun072725CONNECT NOW - BECOME A PARTNER https://www.eiwm.org/partnership | or TEXT "Connect" to 225-230-2234 To GIVE/SOW click the link below! https://www.eiwm.org/give | or TEXT "Sow" to 225-230-2234TESTIMONY?Email your testimonies to victory@eiwm.orgMORE LINKShttps://linktr.ee/drleroysr#meditation
This episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast is an excerpt from a talk given by Kriya Yoga Teacher Ryan Kurczak during the 2025 Kriya Yoga Online Solstice Retreat. The Discussion includes: Supportive Techniques from Chapter I: Sutras I.33–I.39 Patanjali offers auxiliary methods to stabilize the mind in Sutras I.33–I.39, forming a meditative ladder: I.33 – Cultivating attitudes of friendliness (toward the happy), compassion (toward the suffering), joy (toward the virtuous), and equanimity (toward the non-virtuous). I.34 – Focusing on the exhalation and natural pause of breath. I.35 – Meditating on subtle sensory experiences (such as inner energy or warmth). I.36 – Contemplating a state free from sorrow and full of inner light. I.37 – Meditating on the consciousness of one who is spiritually free. I.38 – Contemplating dream and deep sleep states. I.39 – Meditating on any object suitable to one's disposition. These are not arbitrary suggestions, but a progressive structure. For example, I.33 helps remove emotional and psychological obstacles; I.34–I.35 deepen bodily and energetic awareness; I.36–I.37 open the door to spiritual radiance and guru consciousness; I.38–I.39 reflect the ultimate flexibility and maturity of the practitioner. The Goal of Samadhi and Spiritual Evolution The culmination of sustained meditative practice is Samadhi, described not as an escape from the world but as union with reality. The deeper forms of samadhi signify the dissolution of ego and personal identity, allowing pure consciousness to shine through. As described in Sutra IV.33–IV.34, transformation is a transmutation of form, as the field of consciousness evolves from gross (human) to subtle (divine). This spiritual evolution requires the practitioner to surrender personal likes, dislikes, and egoic narratives—attaining Vairagya (detachment) and Abhyasa (consistent practice), referenced in Sutra I.12. -

In this episode we explore the concepts of the inward and outward facing paths. They are presented as different approaches in various traditions that, if pursued to their core, eventually arrive at a direct experience of a unified life. • Includes a guided meditation that extends the ancient neti neti practice of excluding all concepts of what you conceive yourself to be, and then re-including all so-called outer experience, thereby seeing that all is awareness and not separate from your true self. Short phrases to help you get a handle on the inward and outward facing paths: Nothing you can name or conceive of is awareness. Nothing you could name or conceive of is not awareness. Meditating with your eyes closed and looking within at awareness, and meditating with your eyes open and looking at the world as awareness. “Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two my life flows.” ― Nisargadatta Maharaj The song Jonathan mentioned in this episode is “Impermanence” by John Astin: https://music.apple.com/us/song/impermanence/72793994 Don't forget to subscribe for more ingenious ways to tap into the ever-present stillness and joy of our true nature.

In today's episode of Zen Commuter, we take our practice beyond four walls and into the wide embrace of nature. Meditating outside offers a unique opportunity to reconnect—not just with the present moment, but with the world around us. Whether it's a quiet park bench, a forest trail, or your own backyard, outdoor meditation invites you to soften your senses, anchor your awareness, and find peace in the rhythm of the natural world. I'll share how to begin, what to notice, and how to embrace whatever sounds or sensations arise—yes, even the distractions.

Ajahn Brahm describes enlightenment as akin to sitting under peacefully under the mango tree, simply waiting for the fruit to drop into your open hands. The mango represents enlightenment; the open hands symbolise kindness.
