She received her first 500-hr yoga certification in Thailand in 2009, where she began her studies of the classical yogic scriptures and delved deeply into esoteric tantric philosophy. After 2 years of teaching month-long tantric-based courses on the banks of the Ganges in India and the Pacific coastal towns of Mexico, Susan returned to the US to begin a residential internship with the Kripalu School of Yoga, where she taught in and project-managed several Kripalu yoga teacher trainings as well as received her 2nd 500-hr teacher training certification from the Kripalu School of Yoga.

She is the founder of Samarasa Center.“It was the first time that I started practicing yoga alone. Not in groups of classes with other people. That was transformational for me. That was the game changer, just being alone, having time, not feeling stressed, not feeling the pressure to be anybody. To be a wife, to be a boss, to be a daughter.” – Susan MarrufoSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Henry grew up in Oxford, UK, where his parents were professors and his early love of poetry led to an interest in Chinese Zen poetry, and ultimately to him becoming a writer and poet. Henry suffered from severe eczema from infancy into his 20's, along with associated psychological problems, and meditation was a key element in a long journey of healing. He travelled extensively, eventually settling in New Mexico where he became fascinated by the indigenous culture's deep connection to the earth and where he was introduced to meditation and Zen, which in turn influenced his writing.Main topicsThe meditative quality of poetry and how it can bring one back to the present momentUsing poetry in meditation to create a serene atmosphere.The differences between various forms of meditationThe concept of awakeningThe connection between meditation and mindfulnessThe transformative power of poetry and its potential to enrich one's lifeThe concept of original sin and its influence on Western cultureThe idea of karma and its physical consequencesThe concepts of mindfulness, support, and absorptionThe concept of flow states and how they can be achieved through complete absorption in a task, leading to enhanced performance and increased happiness.How flow is not limited to specific professions or activities and can be accessed through simple practices like meditationThe relationship between meditation and religion and the practical and philosophical significance of meditationAction itemsHenry's book is called "Original Love: The 4 Ends on the Path of Awakening," and it has an accompanying meditation app, "The Way."

Ryder Richards builds on thinkers like Kant, Rorty, and Baudrillard in this podcast to argue that reality can filter problematic abstractions. He proposes reality as a net separating transcendental truths and superficial advertising. Without reality's grounding, these abstractions reinforce each other's weaknesses.Part 1 - Reality as a Net for AbstractionsRichards lays out the idea of reality as a net dividing two types of abstraction. On one side is a transcendental ideology or truth claim, such as religion or science. On the other is superficial simulacra like advertising. Usually, reality forces these to grapple with concrete pragmatism. But as reality's power fades, these abstractions intertwine dangerously.Richards relates this to Plato's cave - the shadows are lies, but the light of the exterior, truth itself, can also be an abstraction. Modern thinkers like Rorty argued truth and reality are separate. So, going from cave to light just shifts one abstraction for another.Part 2 - Disneyland as an ExampleRichards uses Baudrillard's concrete example of Disneyland as an abstraction slipping into dangerous territory. Disneyland pretends to be fiction but reveals a desire for moral truth. However, this yearning abstracted into blind faith leads to fanaticism and policing "outsiders." The virtues represented become ways to enforce arbitrary hierarchies. In this case, the morality play of virtuousness, combined with fictional advertising, exemplifies Hofstader's 'hyper system," or tangled hierarchy, without referencing reality. Part 3 - Lowering Abstractions' PowerTo counter abstraction's excesses, Richards offers two main methods:Way 1 - Communicative RationalityThe first way is Isiah Berlin's communicative rationality - agreeing on language, intent, and logic tied to reality. This raises the "net" by grounding thought in the concrete.Way 2 - MeditationThe second way is meditation, recognizing our physical body to quiet constant abstraction. This reduces reactivity and teaches us to filter manipulations.ConclusionIn sum, abstraction untethered from reality breeds instability and vulnerability to facile beliefs. Reality anchors us against these excesses. In future episodes, Richards will continue exploring pragmatism, AI, and the limits of language.

Meditation is a powerful and somewhat misunderstood tool in improving our health and wellbeing.

In the Modern World, our minds have been captured by a narrative that also runs in the minds of many others around us. With variations, this is true for almost all of humanity.This incessant train of repetitive thought rationalises and justifies and rehearses and reconstructs our pasts, our futures and our life situations. All in an attempt to make sense of it. To try to explain this complexity, we all construct a narrative. This personal explanatory narrative is not helpful for our happiness. It is a reflection of our society, our culture and our economy. It is not unique to us as we discover when we share it.The sense that something is broken or something is wrong with us and/or with the world is almost universal. In addition to our shaky internal world, the external world, for many of us, is completely artificial. We work in boxes, travel in boxes, meet in boxes and live in boxes. Nature becomes something we use as an antidote to the inevitable consequences of living in our crazy artificial world.In this episode, Robert teaches some practices that are designed to bring our awareness to our bodies with the breath and relaxation and help us to learn how to focus our minds.This is the essential first step in releasing the unhelpful narrative that has captures so many of us in its grip. These are the foundations of the practices build help us to rebuild our connection to the world, to each other and to our selves.Practices:4-6 breathsFour tens meditationThe bell meditationFollowing the breathFor more information, visit the homepage of this podcast at:https://2020meditation.com/podcasts.To keep this service running make a donation here:https://2020meditation.com/coffeeTo learn about the online meditation course, go here:https://2020meditation.com/coursesSupport the show (http://2020meditation.com/coffee)
