Buddhist megastars in conversation.Today, we're dropping a recording of a live event we held earlier this year, during which Joseph Goldstein and Dr. Mark Epstein came on stage for a fascinating set of conversations. We did this event to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Dan's first book, also called 10% Happier. The night was structured like a late night show, so there was a monologue, and live music with the band Mates of State. Dr. Mark Epstein is a psychiatrist in private practice in New York City, and is the author of a number of books about the interface of Buddhism and psychotherapy, including Thoughts without a Thinker, Going to Pieces without Falling Apart, Going on Being, Open to Desire, Psychotherapy without the Self, The Trauma of Everyday Life and Advice Not Given: A Guide to Getting Over Yourself, and The Zen of Therapy: Uncovering a Hidden Kindness in Life. He received his undergraduate and medical degrees from Harvard University. He has been a student of vipassana meditation since 1974.Joseph Goldstein is a cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society and the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies, both in Barre, Massachusetts. He is the author of Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening, A Heart Full of Peace, One Dharma: The Emerging Western Buddhism, Insight Meditation and The Experience of Insight: A Simple and Direct Guide to Buddhist Meditation. Joseph has studied and practiced meditation since 1967 under the guidance of eminent teachers from India, Burma, and Tibet and he leads Insight Meditation retreats around the world.In this episode we talk about:The three month solo silent meditation retreat Joseph had just finishedHow to not suffer in the face of unwanted experiences Three exercises for slowing downPragmatic applications of retreat practice for life in the real world How to see outside yourselfHow Mark came to Buddhism 50 years agoThe relationship between Buddhism and psychotherapy The Buddhist concept of the two levels of reality And a guided meditation from a surprise guestRelated Episodes:Nirvana | Joseph GoldsteinDr. Mark Epstein On: How To Transform Your Neuroses Into “Little Shmoos”I Just Did A 10-Day Silent Meditation Retreat With Joseph Goldstein.

‘Bliss is not pleasure; ecstasy is not brought about by thought; it is an entirely different thing. And you can only come upon that when you understand the nature of thought.' This episode on Bliss, Ecstasy and Benediction has five sections. The first extract (2:47) is from Krishnamurti's second talk in London 1969, and is titled: Bliss Is Not Pleasure. The second extract (14:15) is from the third talk in San Diego 1970, and is titled: The Bliss of Total Revolution. The third extract (32:02) is from Krishnamurti's sixth talk in New Delhi 1963, and is titled: Ecstasy in Meditation. The fourth extract (44:17) is from the sixth talk in Madras 1981, and is titled: The Benediction of Living a Life That Is Whole. The final extract in this episode (1:01:10) is from the fourth talk in Bombay 1985, and is titled: That Benediction Is Where You Are. Each fortnightly episode of the Krishnamurti podcast is based on a significant theme of his talks. Extracts from the archives have been selected to represent Krishnamurti's different approaches to these universal and timelessly relevant themes. Upcoming topics are Mechanical Living, Trust and Seeing. This is a podcast from Krishnamurti Foundation Trust, based at Brockwood Park in the UK, which is also home to the Krishnamurti Retreat Centre.

For today’s installment of our Advent Meditation series, our brother Jerome Quiring provides commentary on Is 25:6-9. Take a listen or click here to download. On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined. And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken. It will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” Is 25:6-9

If anything does not resonate, please disregard it and follow your heart.Though I am a psychotherapist and these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful, they are not psychotherapy.

Growing up half-Japanese in South Florida, Kino MacGregor spends a lot of time feeling uncomfortable in her own body. But her Japanese grandfather is always there for her, and they spend joyful hours together every day, playing hide-and-seek, cooking and eating, practicing aikido. Behind his joy, she learns only later, hides a profound grief — one that carries down the generations. In Kino's Ashtanga yoga practice, she finds the tools to process this grief and sadness she's unknowingly carried.Learn more about Kino: www.kinoyoga.comLearn more about Omstars, the world's first yoga TV network: www.Omstars.comEach episode of Meditative Story combines the emotional pull of first-person storytelling with immersive music and gentle mindfulness prompts.

Brother Phap Luu, the eldest non-Vietnamese American monk in the Plum Village tradition, graduated from Dartmouth College and started meditating after going through a depression. "What is more satisfying in life than helping people to transform their suffering? I mean, who cares about money and all this other stuff? The biggest happiness I get is if I can help myself, first of all, but others to transform suffering in a real way. My goodness, if we can do that with only a few people in our life, that's already worth a lifetime, right?"

Financial support can be offered through the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation. This podcast episode, Meet the Monastics, hosted by Brother Minh An from Deer Park Monastery, introduces Brother Phap Luu (Brother Stream), the most senior non-Vietnamese American monastic in the Plum Village tradition. Brother Phap Luu shares his transformative journey, including his struggles with identity, community, and purpose before encountering the Dharma. Early Life and Search for Meaning: Growing up in Connecticut, Brother Phap Luu studied English literature at Dartmouth College. He explored anarchist movements in Europe and lived in organic farming communities, experiencing both inspiration and disillusionment. These experiences deepened his inquiry into suffering, community, and personal transformation. Meeting Spiritual Teachers: His encounter with a Western teacher and later Thích Nhất Hạnh (Thầy) provided clarity and inspiration. The advice, “Don't be a Buddhist; be the Buddha,” profoundly influenced his approach to the path. Discovering Mindfulness Practice: Practicing the Four Establishments of Mindfulness during a difficult period helped him overcome depression and cultivate joy. This marked the beginning of his commitment to mindfulness and monastic life. Becoming a Monastic: Ordained in 2003 at Plum Village, France, Brother Phap Luu describes monastic life as a profound practice of non-self and community living. He values the precepts and ethics as foundational to transformation and expresses gratitude for Thầy's teachings and legacy. Community and Projects: Known for his boundless energy, Brother Phap Luu has contributed to initiatives like Wake Up for young practitioners, the Happy Farm, and hiking and science retreats. He reflects on balancing projects with mindfulness, cultivating non-attachment, and fostering harmony in the Sangha. Role of Monastics: Brother Phap Luu emphasizes the importance of monastics in balancing collective energy in society. He highlights the need for mindfulness, non-ideological approaches, and cultivating community harmony to address modern challenges like polarization and ecological crises.

Enzo Dal Verme is a photographer; but not just any photographer. With a decades old meditation practice, he is able to use his mindfulness practice to fully bring himself into the moment, to exist within the creative process of portrait photography. Suffice it to say, because of this he is able to capture the essence of his subjects that might be lost with other artists. His transformative retreats help beginners and experts learn their version of the process. Come listen as we talk about art, meditation and how the two can help us live more fulfilling lives.

This week Tom posed the question, “Can you absolutely know it's true that you are undeserving of a happy, wonderful life?” In the ensuing meditation, he also points out the possibility that our current individual lives and their events (whether we happen to be enjoying them or not) are exactly within our comfort zone, which is dictated by our sense of worthiness. It's when the vast majority of people believed the Earth is flat. It didn't make it true, but it did make the entire world feel limited and scary. It did make those who believed it live as if it were true. Perhaps we do the same thing when we think we know what we're worthy of – we give ourselves false limitations. Do you notice this in your own life? Follow along as we inquire into the concept of worthiness.

For today’s installment of our Advent Meditation series, our brother Jerome Quiring provides commentary on Is 11:1-10. Take a listen or click here to download. There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. And his delight shall be in the fear of the LORD. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide disputes by what his ears hear, but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins. The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples-of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious. Is 11:1-10

It involves the withdrawal of the senses from external stimuli, allowing the mind to focus inward.The Essence of Pratyahara Sensory Withdrawal: This doesn't mean physical isolation but rather a mental detachment from sensory inputs. Mindful Awareness: While withdrawing from external stimuli, the practitioner maintains a state of mindful awareness. Inner Focus: The focus shifts from the outer world to the inner landscape of the mind. The Role of Pratyahara in Yoga Nidra Yoga Nidra, a powerful relaxation technique, is deeply intertwined with pratyahara. During Yoga Nidra, the practitioner is guided through a series of visualizations and body scans, gradually withdrawing their senses from the physical body and external world. This systematic process of sensory withdrawal facilitates a profound state of relaxation and inner peace. Benefits of Pratyahara Reduced Stress and Anxiety: By minimizing sensory input, the mind can calm down, reducing stress and anxiety. Improved Focus and Concentration: Pratyahara trains the mind to focus on a single point, enhancing concentration and mindfulness. Deeper Meditation: By quieting the mind, pratyahara prepares the practitioner for deeper meditative states. Enhanced Self-Awareness: As the mind turns inward, it becomes more attuned to its own thoughts, feelings, and sensations. Practical Tips for Practicing Pratyahara Mindful Awareness: Pay attention to your senses without judgment. Sensory Withdrawal: Gradually withdraw your senses from external stimuli, focusing on your breath and body sensations. Meditation: Regular meditation practice can help strengthen your ability to focus the mind. Yoga Nidra: This practice provides a structured approach to sensory withdrawal. Digital Detox: Take regular breaks from screens and technology to reduce sensory overload. By incorporating pratyahara into your yoga practice, you can experience a deeper level of relaxation, mindfulness, and inner peace. Creative Solutions for Holistic Healthcare
Would you like to feel calmer and more aware? Have you heard all about the benefits of meditation, yet you have a challenging time trying to quiet your racing mind? Our guest today is Zen meditation teacher, author, and poet Henry Shukman. Several years ago, Henry had a severe head injury and discovered he wasn't able to utilize 100% of his cognitive abilities. It was then that he got in touch with his heart and realized that that is where his guidance lives. Henry has decades of experience as a full-time meditation teacher. Today he talks about the new app he developed called “The Way” that teaches people how to take a long-term approach to meditation. It is a step-by-step process. Many meditation apps offer endless choices, but this is a systematic approach to meditation with single lessons each day. Henry talks about being in a state of love, while also handling the day-to-day. He explains that it is about living in the world yet taking a few minutes each day to acknowledge a way to “be with” what your emotions may be. Meditation allows us a little window to “be” and not “do.” Henry also shares his traumas as a child. He felt abandoned, which led to a skin condition which got deep into his psyche. He felt a constant sense of stress and anxiety. When his parents were home and not traveling, they argued in the house. Henry revealed that his parents were both academics and spies for the British government. They spoke Russian fluently and got recruited into this risky business. There was so much secrecy at home and when his parents divorced, it affected him deeply. This was a time when there was denial, and no one was talking openly about feelings and emotions. When he was in his 20s, he started to seek answers. Henry was deeply intuitive and sensitive. He had a couple of friends who meditated, including a dear grandmother figure, in her 80s, who meditated. These friends seemed happy. He learned Transcendental Meditation to start. He realized by practicing meditation that he was not happy and wanted to feel better. The calming that the mediation offered let him see he was suffering. He sought therapy to examine this suffering. He further studied Buddhism, which delves into the nature of suffering. Henry has practiced Zen meditation, as well as mindfulness-based stress-reduction, and various meditation processes. Henry is the Spiritual Director emeritus of Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His new book is “Original Love: The Four Inns on the Path of Awakening.” His app, “The Way,” offers more than 30 free meditations which will teach a step-by-step process based on Henry's years of practice.

#334 In this enriching podcast episode, Guy interviewed JJ Brighton, a psychic, medium, and multidimensional energy healer. JJ shared insights into her spiritual journey, which includes raising eight children and her awakening process around age 40. They explored topics like light language, multidimensional soul integration, planetary grid work, and the influence of galactic and angelic beings. The conversation delved into the role of crystalline children, the golden Seraphim, and the importance of leading with one's inner child and achieving balance. Listeners are encouraged to connect with nature and animals to heal and tune into higher frequencies. The episode offers a profound look at the ascension process and how individuals can align themselves with the new Earth. About JJ: JJ Brighton, a Multidimensional Channel, Starseed Linguist, Activation Guide, and 5D Planetary Gridworker. The journey to where I am today has taken me through several roles—that of a yoga teacher, meditation coach, energy & sound healer, and medium—all culminating in the expansion into galactic energies and the development of my channeling and light language abilities. I am passionate about supporting starseeds like me through all phases of their spiritual path...from curious seeker to advanced practitioner. Both voice and various instruments/types of music are a focal point in my offerings. By exploring different kinds of light language, I've connected with and learned from a variety of interdimensional beings, gaining insights into the interconnectedness of the universe. I now mentor others in these frequencies through a variety of light language courses.
