Podcasts about Meditation

In the midst of difficulty we need access to our deepest wisdom and love. This guided meditation calls forth this loving presence by opening to the heart and spirit of whatever being in our life we most experience as calm, wise and compassionate.

"P" wants to be able to show up in these rocky times and hold space in difficult conversations but she finds it difficult to do when met with the perceived expectation of "getting everything right" - especially in political conversations. Jessica helps her unpack her anxieties and find strategies for showing up, whether she gets it right not!

What if the key to a meaningful life isn't doing more—but doing less, with intention? In this powerful conversation, Michael and Megan talk with Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks and Meditations for Mortals, about the myths of productivity, the illusion of control, and why accepting our finite nature might be the best thing we can do for our peace, purpose, and productivity.Memorable Quotes“It's the relaxation of now I can just do the things that matter the most… I can just sort of dive in because I'm no longer trying to make all my actions feel like they are part of some process of eventually getting to total domination of my time and perfect optimization.”“You are being confronted again with this ridiculous thing that it is to be a human—which is to be capable of imagining basically an infinite amount of possibilities and eventualities, but ultimately being a sort of finite material animal and having to choose only some of them.”“Almost everybody who is trying to sort of optimize themselves into absolute control, you know, they're not succeeding. Life is miserable and they're letting people down all over the place.”“There isn't any system or philosophy or approach or sports nutrition drink that is going to enable you to sort of win the battle with human limitation… Now, we figure out how to flourish in absolutely fantastic and wonderfully meaningful and interesting and lucrative ways within those limitations rather than running away from them.”“There's a way of going with the flow that is actually more constructive and productive as well as more peaceful and meaningful.”“I really found that just sort of expecting discomfort from things that matter to me—whether that is a piece of work or an aspect of relationships or parenting—just knowing that it's going to feel uncomfortable sometimes because it's bringing me to my edge and my limitations makes a huge, huge difference.”“A lot of our productivity is the result of anxiety. And I would like to live a productive life for other reasons.”Key TakeawaysRadical Acceptance is Key. Once you stop trying to win the battle with your human limitations, everything changes.Distraction is Avoidance in Disguise. Most often, we're dodging discomfort—and the way out lies in tolerating discomfort.Optimization is Not Salvation. We think we can problem-solve our lives, but tools and systems will always fall short. They're meant to augment, not make us infinite.Meaning is Here, Now. The moments that build a life don't happen  when everything is done—but in the doing itself.Resources4,000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver BurkemanMeditations for Mortals by Oliver BurkemanThe Imperfectionist (Newsletter)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/571YmI5h_CsThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Hey beautiful soul, it's Jody Agard. If you know me, you know that I love the rain and thunderstorms. I often tell my students and clients that rain cleanses the earth, the same way that tears cleanse our soul. Like storms in nature, emotions need a little space to release. This meditation safely guides you through emotional rain, so afterward you may feel cleansed and renewed. Find a soft spot, breathe with me, and let the storm do its healing work.

Reflecting on a piece of writing from Kittasaro, Mary talk about the 'gap between thoughts' which is so important but also something that we miss most of the time. It's when we make the effort to release the habitual thinking mind that we make space for deep knowing and wisdom to arise. This is the path to liberation and awakening.Recorded Oct. 4, 2025 in the virtual worldAmerica's Racial Karma by Larry WardSend me a text with any questions or comments!

This week's inquiry begins with a look at a simple thought: “I need money.” Seems pretty straightforward. Pretty accurate. (Unless you're a Buddhist monk.) But slowly this inquiry becomes a deep dive into the entire concept of need. “I need something that's not here right now.” Tom takes it to the past, too, by inviting participants to look at a memory where we believe we needed something that wasn't there. Whether that something was better care, shelter, food, water, painkillers, relief, kindness, or another of the abundant examples that come up in this group meditation, the questions are the same; Can you absolutely know it's true? Follow along to find out for yourself.

Welcome back to The Ripple Effect Podcast. Today, we are joined by my good friend and special guest Karen Ansen, an extraordinary entrepreneur and employment lawyer from Australia. Karen is the founder of Ignite HR and Employment Law, where she assists businesses and individuals in navigating Fair Work, workplace bullying claims, adverse action cases, and wage underpayment issues in Australia. She also leads Ignite Your Purpose, a coaching and retreat platform that combines mindfulness, breathwork, meditation, and leadership training to help people reduce stress, build resilience, and lead with authenticity. Karen and I discuss her courageous leap from the corporate world to starting her own law firm, how she balances her career with her passion for helping others, and the unique way she combines employment law with personal growth. We delve into workplace culture, the importance of onboarding, how to provide feedback without causing defensiveness, and why healthy conflict is crucial for strong teams. Karen Ansen is proof that you can be both a top employment lawyer and a heart-led leader who helps others ignite their purpose. Whether you are an HR professional, a business owner, or simply someone who wants to create more purpose in your career and life, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical wisdom.   Ripple with Karen Ansen: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/karenansen Ignite HR and Employment Law: ignitehr.com.au Ignite Your Purpose: igniteyourpurpose.au   Ripple with Steve Harper Instagram: http://instagram.com/rippleon Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rippleon X: https://twitter.com/rippleon Website: http://www.ripplecentral.com   Stay in the loop by being a part of the Ripple mail list: https://ripplecentral.com/subscribe Be a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/SteveHarper Join our ever-growing community of Ripplers in The Pond: https://ripplecentral.com/pond   To inquire about my availability for conference keynotes, corporate training, or performance coaching, please contact info@ripplecentral.com.  

Stillness looks spiritual. It feels safe. But under the surface, if not checked, it's where purpose goes to die.It whispers that you're aligning, preparing, staying open. But behind that calm exterior is a quiet surrender—one that trades your potential for predictability.In today's episode we're going to talk about the true cost of stillness others won't mention.⬇️Velocity Vault™http://bit.ly/4p5pewu⬇️Work With Nicole 1:1https://www.nicolefrolick.com/work-with-nicole⬇️Healing Exit Strategy™https://www.nicolefrolick.com/healing-exit-strategy-p⬇️Velocity Oracle™https://www.nicolefrolick.com/velocity-oracle-p⬇️Divine Data Drop™https://www.nicolefrolick.com/divine-data-drop-order-form⬇️Help save children from traffickinghttps://forthekids.life/nicole4v4crSUBSCRIBE & FOLLOWIf you're enjoying the show, please subscribe to iTunes and leave me a 5 star review!  This is what helps the podcast stand out from the crowd and allows me to help people find a refreshing spin on spirituality with a great blend of entertainment and credible advice.Newsletter: https://tinyurl.com/3wa5dnwjWebsite: http://nicolefrolick.com/Meditations: https://www.nicolefrolick.com/meditationsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/user/nicolefrolickInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicolefrolick/Tiktok: https://tiktok.com/@nicolefrolickSpotify: shorturl.at/fikF7iTunes: http://apple.co/2ve7DtE

How do you actually know if your inner work is working? That's the question Light explores in this episode of The Spiritual Perspective.Meditation, journaling, therapy, gratitude — all of it can feel subtle and hard to measure. There's no scoreboard, no app tracking your progress. And that's what makes so many people wonder: Is anything really changing?In this talk, Light breaks down the five unmistakable — and very real-world — signs that your inner work is paying off. These aren't abstract spiritual concepts. They're the everyday shifts you begin to notice when your practice is consistent: the way you handle uncertainty, the clarity that begins to guide your choices, and the peace that shows up in places it never used to.You'll also learn why real growth often feels invisible at first, how others can see your transformation before you do, and what to pay attention to if you're doubting your progress.If you've ever questioned whether all your inner work is leading somewhere, this episode will help you recognize the subtle but powerful proof that it is — and remind you why consistency is everything.Recommended episodes:7 Harsh Realities of Committing to Your Inner WorkThe Easy Life LieResources mentioned:Join Light and learn Meditation in Mexico City: https://mexico.beginmeditating.com/Send us a text message.
