Pastor Levi and Lisa talk about Meditating in The Word, from John 14:23, Psalm 1:1–3; Deuteronomy 4:9, and Matthew 4:1–4, including: Chewing, Remembering, and Delighting in it. This is an episode of Pearls & Swine on the Evangel Houghton Podcast from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, June 17, 2025.

Meditation isn't about mastering information—it's about meeting with God. In this week's message, Pastor Nathan unpacks what it means to meditate on God's Word—not to prove a point or gain head knowledge, but to be with the Living Word and be transformed.

In this episode, I walk you through six powerful Bible passages that create a roadmap for Christian wellness. These passages can guide you toward healing, whether you're dealing with chronic fatigue, whether you need autoimmune healing, or whether you simply want to align your health journey with your faith. Together, we'll explore:

Information has been so overrated,Since I was a little child,But now that I know that there's much more to life,I will spend more time in the wild. ☉Well, I went on a rant today!  Whew!  What can I say?  What I didn't even get to is that this Jupiter square Saturn aspect, the “crisis in action,” had it's first pass last August with Saturn retrograde, the second pass on Christmas with Jupiter retrograde, and now the third pass with both planets direct.  An interesting note regarding this square, which has to do with breaking free from past security structures in order to express a new, elevated version of ourselves, had the first two passes in the mutable signs of Pisces and Gemini.  This third and final pass is occurring in the cardinal signs of Aries and Cancer.  The mutable signs have more to do with listening, taking in, and changing ourselves as a result of integrating the new information, needs, desires, and impulses.  Now, having the final pass in the cardinal signs, it's time to make choices and take action particularly around surrendering our past ways, habits, and limitations in order to open ourselves to the new possibilities that will be presenting themselves through the remainder of this year and into next year.The age-old axiom for whenever Jupiter and Saturn contact each other is “limited expansion.”  It is a time of cautious, careful planning rather than plunging, risking, and just “doing it.”  It's almost like you don't want to start setting the stage for Scene Two before you've cleared the stage from Scene One!  Know what I mean?  This is more about carefully selecting the people, places, things, and activities that support the new you and retiring what doesn't (with gratitude if possible!). Meditating in deep stillness, doing ceremony, and calling upon your higher self and Spirit for guidance, you may find it necessary to let go of some cherished people, places, or activities/habits.  On the other hand, if you are unconscious of your own true nature, needs, and soul desires, you may find people, places, things, or activities leaving you or being taken away.  In either case, knowing that life is always in complete support of your evolution will help lessen any feelings of loss, betrayal, abandonment, or victim consciousness. May you find peace through this transition!Born to be Wild!  https://youtu.be/egMWlD3fLJ8?si=4GtSqs8BTXH6MFtU Book a reading with Kaypacha!  https://newparadigmastrology.com/kaypachas-readings/So Much Love,Kaypacha

Join Fr. Hollowell as he marks 16 years of priesthood with a deeply personal homily straight from his favorite altar—our very own St. Monica/St. Martin campus. In this heartfelt reflection, he:

I just came back from my first time ever in Miami with my fiancé, and I thought why not re-air my thrilling conversation with Miami based writer Rochelle Weinstein. This aired about two years ago, and I definitely am going to have Rochelle back on to discuss her new novel We Are Made of Stars! We have an exciting conversation about what type of literature Rochelle writes which I coin "Romantic Realism." Rochelle provides so much literary insight in this episode, and she first explains why after giving birth to twin boys she knew she needed to become a writer! Then, I ask her why Miami holds such a special place in her literature and upbringing. For Rochelle, Miami is not just a literary setting, it's an atmosphere for her reader.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche discusses the seven attributes of a perfect human body and clarifies the points relating to caste and gender. He also discusses the eight ripening aspects that Lama Tsongkhapa emphasized in the Hymns of the Experience of the Path to Enlightenment.Rinpoche highlights the preciousness of this perfect human body. He says that it is more precious than the whole sky filled with wish-granting jewels. So, if we don't get to practice Dharma for even a second, this would be a great loss. Thus, we must bear hardships to practice Dharma. If you don't bear the hardships, you cannot practice Dharma, and then you will become lazy and waste your precious human body.Rinpoche reminds us that we experience hardships because we are in samsara. Our body and mind came from karma and delusion, so they are in the nature of suffering. If we don't practice Dharma because of the hardships, then we'll be in samsara forever. We'll never get free from the oceans of samsaric suffering.The duration of this perfect human rebirth is very short, and it can stop at any moment. Therefore, we need to develop our mind in the stages of the path to enlightenment.Rinpoche gives a clear description of how to meditate on the lamrim through daily meditations of the lower capable being. He stresses that it's important to meditate on several points (guru devotion, perfect human rebirth, impermanence-death, renunciation), as if you only meditate on one aspect throughout your life, you may not achieve even that realization. He also stresses that bodhicitta can only be attained after realizing renunciation.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia. While the retreat focused on Mahamudra, Rinpoche also taught on a wide range of Lamrim topics. This retreat marked the beginning of a series of month-long retreats in Australia. Subsequent retreats were held in 2011, 2014, and 2018, hosted by the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo.Find out more about Lama Zopa Rinpoche, his teachings and projects at https://fpmt.org/

For this episode, we sat down with Kate Rigby to discuss her new book Meditations on Creation in an Era of Extinction. The text is a reclaiming of the ancient theological meditation form, the hexameron, to consider the climate crisis and mass extinction. Meditating on a day of creation in each chapter, she tells us about the insights each day of creation has for the Anthropocene like contemplative practices in the First Day and the move from a "Kingdom" to a "Kindom" of species in the Fifth Day. This episode and the next will be on religion and ecology, a fitting focus on the topic at a time of a new Pope!   For more of Kate Rigby:   Website: https://mesh.uni-koeln.de/   Guest Magpie Recommendation: Magpie Whisperer - https://www.shop.themagpiewhisperer.com/   ASLE EcoCast: If you have an idea for an episode, please submit your proposal here: https://forms.gle/Y1S1eP9yXxcNkgWHA   Twitter: @ASLE_EcoCast Lindsay Jolivette: @lin_jolivette Alex Tischer: @ak_tischer   If you're enjoying the show, please consider subscribing, sharing, and writing reviews on your favorite podcast platform(s)!

5/25/25 Upcoming Memory Engine-The "Heart Palace Flow" Daily Affirmation: Cutting Through StressThe goal of this mnemonic is to instantly activate a state of calm and love, like a "hot knife through butter," by firing up your internal "Heart Palace" engine. We want this to be a positive, active, and empowering process.This affirmation is positive, action-oriented, and clearly states the desired outcome.This word is simple, powerful, and embodies the positive movement we're aiming for.L - Luminous: See a bright, glowing presence.O - Open: Feel your heart center expanding.V - Vibrant: Experience lively, positive energy.E - Expand: Visualize feelings spreading outwards.W - Warmth: Feel comforting, soothing heat.I - Inner Peace: Sense deep tranquility.N - Nourish: Feel revitalized and supported.S - Serene: Experience a profound state of calm.We'll use the Major System to convert "LOVE WINS" into numbers, which then give us our P.A.O. elements.L (5) V (8) = 58 -> LoVe = LAVaW (sound is like V or a doubled U, for simplicity let's use the standard 'W' as 2, or sometimes 'null' in Major System for words without a consonant sound. For this exercise, let's treat it phonetically as 'V' or 'F' sound when needed, or directly find a word. Given the context, let's just make sure the words fit the number.)N (2) S (0) = 20 -> NoSe = NoseLet's simplify the Major System application here for a more direct, vivid P.A.O. that aligns with the affirmation:Person: Lady Valentine (representing love and warmth)Action: Waving Iridescent Nimbus (a radiant, flowing, protective cloud)Object: Silver Sword (cutting through negativity)Imagine Lady Valentine (P), bathed in a soft, luminous green glow, standing at the entrance of your magnificent Heart Palace. She is gracefully waving an iridescent nimbus (A) that billows outward, gently pushing away any lingering shadows of stress. In her other hand, she wields a shimmering silver sword (O), which, with each gentle pass, cuts through any stress like a hot knife through butter, leaving only smooth, serene space.As she moves, your heart feels increasingly open, a vibrant energy bubbles up, and that feeling begins to expand outward from your chest. A profound warmth spreads, ushering in an inner peace that nourishes every cell of your being, leaving you utterly serene.Morning Activation: First thing in the morning, or before a potentially stressful event, close your eyes (or soften your gaze).Affirmation & Visualization: Slowly repeat: "I activate my Heart Palace, flowing with love, melting all stress."Engage the Mnemonic & P.A.O.: Instantly bring to mind Lady Valentine at your Heart Palace, waving her iridescent nimbus, and cutting through stress with her silver sword.Feel the Flow (The "LOVE WINS" Modes): As you visualize, actively engage your senses and emotions:Breathe into it: Continue to breathe deeply and smoothly, allowing the sensations and imagery to deepen the experience.This active, multi-sensory engagement, fueled by your P.A.O. and mnemonic, trains your brain to rapidly access this coherent state, turning an affirmation into an embodied experience.Here are the top-tier options for this specific deep dive, Grandpa Bill:#HeartPalace,#DailyAffirmation,#MemoryEngines,#MagneticMemoryMethod,#GrandpaBillPodcast.#BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour,#HeartBrainCoherence,#StressRelease,#InnerPeace,#VividImagery,#PAOMnemonic,#MajorSystem,#MindBodySpirit,#HolisticWellness,#PositiveMovement,#MentalClarity,#EmotionalRegulation,#SelfCare,#LOVEWINS,The Core Affirmation: "I activate my Heart Palace, flowing with love, melting all stress."The Mnemonic Word for the Affirmation: "LOVE WINS"P.A.O.

Today, Eric dives into the importance of self-care and focusing on mental health, particularly during times of uncertainty.  Stay tuned as Eric shares practical ways to remain grounded and support your well-being, even when things feel unpredictable. A Late-Night Emergency in Sardinia While organizing a sales meeting for a medical device company in Sardinia, Eric experienced a powerful reminder of why health must come first. In the early morning, as his team was wrapping up video edits for a final presentation, he found a man lying unconscious with blood coming from his head. The man had fallen and hit the corner of a table. Acting Quickly—Even Against Protocol Eric contacted the head of the company, who happened to be a trained nurse practitioner. She warned that moving the man could be risky, but leaving him could be worse. When the hotel insisted on following procedure before calling a doctor, Eric bypassed protocol. He contacted his local partner, who helped him find an ambulance meant for another injured guest and had the man transferred to the hospital. The next evening, the man was back at the bar with a bandage on his head. He had just had too much to drink the night before. The Lesson: Take Ownership of Your Health That incident reinforced something Eric believes firmly: if you fail to take care of yourself, no one else will. In uncertain times, the only thing we can truly control is how we show up for ourselves. We may not be able to influence global events, but we can impact our health, mindset, and those around us. Making Health Your Priority Even though most people know what to do to stay healthy, when under stress, those habits tend to slip away. So, Eric encourages us to follow a morning routine that involves meditation, exercise, or writing. He reminds us that the challenge is not about knowledge. It is about making your health a consistent priority. Start with One Hour a Day In an unpredictable world, a daily routine can provide stability. Eric encourages everyone to block one hour each morning, even if it means waking up an hour earlier, and do whatever you can to support your well-being. That could be meditating, moving, reading, or writing. Eric reminds us that the best way to help others is by taking care of yourself first.

Psalm 119 sets the Word of God right onto our heart and life. Join us in this first of four studies into this important passage that teaches us to love and delight in the Word of God! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    According to the podcast, what is the overarching theme of Psalm 119? What does this theme call us to?  2.    According to the podcast, how is Psalm 119 arranged? What is each section arranged according to? In the original Hebrew text, what does every verse start with? How is this helpful for us to understand this psalm?  3.    What are the two principles in verse 1? How does this set the tone for the rest of this psalm? 4.    Verse 1 mentions blessings for those who walk according to God's Word. What kinds of blessings have you experienced by walking according to God's Word? Look over verses 5 to 20. How are these blessings listed in these verses? 5.    According to verse 4, what is the origin of God's Word? What does it tell us about why the Lord has given us these instructions? What is the expectation for what we do with them? How did the Podcast explain that Christians can still keep the principle of these words, even if we're no longer under this covenant?  6.    The podcast mentioned that another key principle in this psalm is the necessity of the Lord's grace to enable us to live out these principles. How do verses 4 to 40 teach this principle?  7.    The podcast mentioned that this section also has much to say about “meditation”. What is biblical meditation? How does the author model meditation in this psalm?   8.    Clearly the author is devoted to God's Word. Why do you think he is so devoted? In what ways is your devotion similar? Is it different in any area? How might you seek the Lord for a change in attitude towards His Word?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

In this episode of The Career Flipper Podcast, host Jenny Dempsey chats with Victoria Tara, a Ukrainian-born contemporary artist based in Miami with a story that's full of heart, bold choices, and beautiful color (literally and figuratively).Victoria shares her journey of flipping from a career in psychology and real estate and interior design to becoming a full-time artist. She opens up about the inspiration behind her vibrant paintings, how spirituality and meditation shape her creative process, and why trusting yourself — even when it doesn't make logical sense — is everything.She reminds us that every single experience in life, even the ones that feel totally off-track, adds to the story and can help guide us to our true calling. Plus, she gets real about making time for creativity when life is busy, and shares practical tips for artists (and aspiring artists) trying to juggle it all. Victoria's story is a powerful reminder that art reflects healing, growth, and self-trust. Her career flip is rooted in deep personal exploration — and her words will resonate with anyone standing at the edge of something new and uncertain.Episode TakeawaysHow art can reflect personal healing and transformationWhy trusting yourself is key when making bold career movesHow meditation can enhance creativity and self-awarenessThe beauty of pulling inspiration from life's toughest momentsPractical ways to make time for art, even with a packed scheduleThat balancing multiple careers is not only possible — it can be powerfulThe role of spirituality in creating meaningful workWhy art is often just a natural expression of who we are Connect with VictoriaArt: https://www.victoriatara.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victoria.tara.art  Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!

Please join us for this new series entitled Meditating With the Masters.  In this meeting we will be asking the Higher Beings and in particular Masters in various known and unknown traditions to assist us in the development of our consciousness and subtle bodies.  These Masters are particular to each person in the meeting and your personal connections will be invoked both in the transmission and meditation.In this particular meeting, we will be asking the Divine, Our spiritual guides and Teachers, and the Holy Masters to assist us in downloading the virtue of forgiveness in particular from a non-dual perspective.  From this perspective of unity, the hurts and mistakes either done to us or that we have done no longer have any effect.  We ask from these evolved beings the capacity to see this life and our experience from this non-dual perspective of unity consciousness.After the 40 minute transmission we will then do a Pillar of Light meditation meant to download these patterns into our subtle bodies and consciousness.  In particular we will be focusing on the further opening and development of the heart chakra and its connection to the pineal chakra in the head.  This will work to alchemically connect the head and the heart through the central channel of energy.  A clean flow of prana can then occur to further develop the head and the heart which leads to universal love, compassion, and higher state of clairvoyance.If you would like to further your study on this topic we will be using the book The Masters and the Path by C.W. Leadbeater as a textbook for this series.This episode is the meditation of the event.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche emphasizes the importance of first becoming clear about the extremely subtle dependent arising view that things exist merely in name (the Middle Way view). If this view is clear in your mind, then the rest becomes easy. If not, then you may get confused or fall into nihilism.Rinpoche gives instructions on how to meditate on this view. He explains the meaning of “form is empty” and “emptiness is form.” He shows how these lines present the Middle Way view: “form is empty” eliminates the extreme of eternalism; “emptiness is form” eliminates the extreme of nihilism.Rinpoche also describes how to remove obstacles by meditating on emptiness. Whatever problems you have—sickness, relationship problems, business difficulties—look at them as empty. He mentions Kunkyen Jamyang Shepa, who wrote a text about removing obstacles to travel by understanding how these obstacles are dependently arisen. Meditating on the emptiness of the obstacles dispels them, as it purifies the cause of the problem. Thus, meditating on emptiness is very powerful; it is the best protection.For those who missed the morning session, Rinpoche gives the lung of Lama Chöpa. He also gives the oral transmissions of the Eight Verses of Thought Transformation, the Maitreya Buddha mantra, the auspicious prayer, and his name mantra.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia. While the retreat focused on Mahamudra, Rinpoche also taught on a wide range of Lamrim topics. This retreat marked the beginning of a series of month-long retreats in Australia. Subsequent retreats were held in 2011, 2014, and 2018, hosted by the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo.Find out more about Lama Zopa Rinpoche, his teachings and projects at https://fpmt.org/

The seven churches of Asia have modern significance beyond their representation as church ages.  The church of Ephesus is the example of mechanical Christianity, where the love for Christ has been lost.  The exhortation to the church is to remember from where you have fallen, change your mind (metanoia), and do your first works of faith again.  We are warned by the example of Ephesus, which did not go back to its first works and thereby had its candlestick removed.  Meditating on Psalm 51 provides a clear path to metanoia and regaining that love.

What does living a spiritual life mean to you? Does it mean talking to God? Meditating frequently? Doing good deeds?Today, Michael argues that, as spirits, we are all living a spiritual life regardless of what we believe and there is no separation between our spiritual and material realities. An interesting episode which might just have you thinking differently about what spirituality actually means.

You wake up anxious. Your mind races. The to-do list grows longer, and even when you sit to meditate, stillness feels impossible.Sound familiar? You might not be meditating “wrong” — just not in the way your body truly needs.In this episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda speaks with Yirser Ra Hotep — a master of Kemetic meditation, Tai Chi, and Qigong — as he reveals how ancient wisdom from Egypt, China, and India offers a very different take on what meditation really is.Together, they explore how movement, breath, posture, and awareness are seamlessly integrated into daily life across these traditions — and how that can help soothe your nervous system, anchor your awareness, and bring you back to your body.If sitting still doesn't work for you, maybe it's not your fault. Maybe it's the method.

It can often feel like healing should look a certain way. Meditating, journaling, saying your affirmations—these are surely all factors of the healing process. But what happens when you know you need to dig deeper, but can’t figure out how? Sometimes healing isn’t as aesthetic or straightforward as it looks online. It’s messy. It’s nonlinear. It’s showing up to do the hard work when you’d rather keep it light. Today I'm excited to have Devi Brown joining us again. Devi is a Well-Being Educator, Multidisciplinary Healer, author, and Host of the Deeply Well podcast. As the founder of Devi Brown Well-Being, she has dedicated her career to helping leaders, artists, and athletes navigate healing, self-discovery, and personal growth through mindfulness, spiritual psychology, and holistic wellness practices. In today’s conversation, we explore this deeply introspective and thorough guide to emotions and values, cultivating self-connection, and unlocking one’s highest potential to build a stronger foundation rooted in holistic healing.

Effortless Awareness: Using Real-Time Neurofeedback to Investigate Correlates of Posterior Cingulate Cortex Activity in Meditators' Self-Report explores how real-time fMRI neurofeedback can link meditation experience to brain activity. In this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer and his collaborators discuss their groundbreaking study, which analyzed first-person reports of experienced meditators and real-time feedback of posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) activity. The study reveals how “effortless awareness” and “undistracted attention” correlate with PCC deactivation, while “efforting” and “distraction” activate the region. These findings provide fresh insights into the neuroscience of mindfulness, self-referential processing, and how meditation can train the brain towards a state of effortless presence.Reference:Garrison KA, Santoyo JF, Davis JH, Thornhill TA IV, Kerr CE, Brewer JA.

Meditating on the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, with the assistance of Padre Pio's considerations, opens up the deeper meaning behind the great distress Our Lord endured. For it is during this sorrowful period in Our Lord's life that He focuses upon His forthcoming Passion while seeing every sin committed by mankind and mankind's refusal to accept the satisfaction obtained on the Cross.

Meditating on Christ's redemption of me until it moves me

In this riveting episode of my chat with Dr. Adam Fraser, we delve into the intricacies of performance, resilience, and the human condition. Adam is a researcher and fellow corporate speaker (and one of the best) and a bloody good, down-to-earth bloke. Through humour and profound insights, we cover a multitude of topics, including the coping mechanisms for stress, the intersection of physiology and psychology, and the challenges faced by modern-day educators. What You'll Learn: The Power of Reflection and Reset Dr. Fraser introduces the concept of the "third space," a transitional gap that is crucial for shifting mindsets between different aspects of life. This framework—reflect, rest, reset—helps individuals leave behind previous stressors and prepare mentally for what's next. Understanding Mental Challenges Explore the metaphor of "Kevin," a character that encapsulates negative inner dialogue. This concept, derived from ACT therapy principles, helps in recognising and rationalising self-doubts and unhelpful thought patterns. The Importance of Consistency Discover the consistent habits of elite performers, such as those in special forces and top athletes, and how these disciplines can be translated into everyday life for sustained success. Navigating Work and Home Life The conversation touches upon the impact of increased remote work on personal boundaries, emphasising practical strategies to create clear separations between professional and personal spaces. Key Takeaways: Reflection, Rest, Reset: Implementing a structured approach to transitioning between activities can enhance emotional well-being and productivity. Managing Inner Dialogue: Understanding and accepting negative thoughts without allowing them to dictate actions can lead to more constructive behaviours. Consistency Is Key: Continuous small efforts in the right direction are more impactful than sporadic grand gestures. Creating Boundaries in Remote Work: Being intentional about starting and stopping work can help maintain a work-life balance, crucial in current times. Resources: Book on "Kevin": Dr. Fraser is working on a book detailing the "Kevin" concept, which promises to offer practical insights into managing inner dialogue. Secondary Trauma in Educators: New research by Dr. Fraser highlights the growing phenomenon of secondary trauma experienced by educators, offering solutions to mitigate its effects. Dr. Adam Fraser's resources and books are an enriching source of knowledge for anyone looking to enhance their personal and professional life.

Max and Matt dive into the messy, hilarious, and sometimes frustrating world of bedtime battles. From the never-ending requests for “just one more story” to the mysterious ways kids find infinite energy when it's time to sleep, they break down the emotional toll (and occasional victories) of getting their little ones down for the night. They share their own bedtime struggles, the tactics that sometimes work (and mostly don't), and how sleep—or lack thereof—impacts the whole family dynamic. The guys get real about the tension between partners when one person is always “the bedtime enforcer,” the guilt of losing patience, and the little moments of magic hidden in the chaos. And of course, they tackle the age-old question: is bedtime really about the kids, or is it a battle of wills between exhausted parents and tiny, relentless negotiators?
