In this podcast, Bhante explores how mindful meditators can respond to anger, violence, and instability in the world without losing their inner peace. It emphasizes that compassion and peacefulness are not weaknesses but powerful values that lead to wisdom and genuine strength, even when surroundings are chaotic. Rather than reacting with anger, meditators are encouraged to uphold their values, recognize ignorance with compassion, and actively model peace in challenging times.

https://dangerouswisdom.org/Meditation can become one of the most dangerous acts of defiance against ignorance in all its forms, from injustice and inequality to ecological degradation and the loss of meaning and connection. But, in order to take full advantage of the potentials of meditation while limiting unwanted side-effects, we need proper education, training, and guidance. The most dangerous forms of meditation are dangerous only to ignorance, and they arise from holistic paths of life and learning.The Buddhist traditions offer some of the most holistic, comprehensive, and varied meditation teachings and practices available to us. In book, A Meditator's Guide to Buddhism, Cortland Dahl translates the Buddhist traditions into a framework that can guide us in our current context.Cortland Dahl, Ph.D. is a leading expert on mindfulness, meditation, and the science of wellbeing. His eclectic background includes long periods of solitary retreat in the Himalayan foothills of Nepal and the translation of ancient Tibetan meditation manuals, as well as cutting-edge research on the science of wellbeing and the creation of an acclaimed meditation app. He is a scientist, author, translator, entrepreneur, and meditation teacher, but his true passion is using ancient wisdom and modern science to help people flourish.More information:https://cortlanddahl.com/https://tergar.org/https://hminnovations.org/meditation-app

When you become a true meditator, you go places in the spirit the devil can't follow. In this message, I teach you how meditation takes you deeper into divine revelation, intimacy with God, and spiritual authority. Religion won't take you there—revelation will. Meditation isn't just reading the Bible, it's wrestling in the Spirit with the Holy Ghost until you see what God sees, hear what He's saying, and move in supernatural wisdom and discernment.This is about stepping into your divine promotion, walking in your meditative rights, and living under a fresh mantle of discernment and direction. If you've been stuck, struggling, or searching for answers—this word is for you. No more drifting. It's time to shift. You're being marked for more.July 6, 2025 | SUNDAY AMSunday Morning LiveLeroy Thompson TV FULL VIDEO LINK - The Power of Wearing The Meditator's Anointinghttps://leroythompson.tv/programs/sun070625CONNECT 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

On April 22, 2025, gunmen in the town of Pahalgam, located in the disputed region of Kashmir, killed 26 people—mostly Indian tourists. A four-day military clash between India and Pakistan ensued, bringing both countries to the brink of a full-blown war, before a ceasefire was reached on May 10, 2025. During the India-Pakistan clashes, Beijing urged both sides to deescalate and called for a “political settlement through peaceful means.” But China did not play a neutral role in the conflict. Consistent with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's purported statement to his Pakistani counterpart that “China fully understands Pakistan's legitimate security concerns and supports Pakistan in safeguarding its sovereignty and security interests,” China reportedly provided intelligence, satellite equipment, and other forms of support to Pakistan before and during the clashes.To analyze China's role in the conflict, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Andrew Small. Andrew is a senior transatlantic fellow with GMF's Indo-Pacific program, and author of two books on China, including “The China-Pakistan Axis: Asia's New Geopolitics,” which is now ten years old, but remains an insightful and relevant study.

"The only important thing is peace, and peace is your true nature.”In this enlightening episode, I'm talking to a friend and master yogini, Deep Priya, who has been teaching Patanjali Yog Sutras since 1986. Deep Priya shares her profound journey through yoga, dance, and meditation, exploring the interconnectedness of these practices.The conversation delves into the essence of the witness self, the nature of the mind, and the path to liberation through meditation and self-awareness.Deep Priya explores and emphasizes the importance of being present in the moment, understanding the nature of thoughts, and the journey towards achieving peace through meditation. The discussion delves into the differences between samadhi and kevalya, the significance of Patanjali's wisdom in modern life, and the transformative power of meditation in accessing deeper states of consciousness.Here are some key takeaways:➖Authenticity in dance and yoga comes from deep self-awareness➖Patanjali's teachings serve as a guide for meditators seeking liberation➖The witness self is a crucial aspect of understanding one's true nature➖Meditation is essential for comprehending Patanjali's teachings➖The mind's perception can be both beneficial and detrimental➖Kundalini represents a deeper connection to the universe➖The journey of self-discovery is ongoing and requires patience➖The essence of yoga is to achieve peace, and peace is the ultimate goal of spiritual practiceMake sure to head over to A Curious Yogi Patreon page to listen to Deep Priya's full audio track of Sanskrit singing Patanjali's first Paad.And join me for Living Yoga Sadhana 6-week Immersion beginning May 18th HEREI truly enjoyed and was delighted by this conversation and all the inspiration and wisdom Deep Priya shared.

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.

In this enlightening conversation, I sat down with Corey Jackson, a prominent figure in mindfulness research and emotional regulation, to explore the intricate world of mindfulness and metacognitive approaches to emotion. We traversed through the realms of Buddhist psychology, the impact of mindfulness on anxiety and depression, and the importance of attentional control. What You'll Learn: Mindfulness and Metacognitive Therapy: Corey discussed the differences between traditional cognitive-behavioural models and metacognitive models. He detailed how the latter focuses on metacognitive beliefs and how adjusting these beliefs can affect anxiety and depression more effectively. This model, often overlooked, offers a promising avenue for those dealing with mental health challenges. Attention and Its Role: Corey and I delved into the critical aspect of attention in shaping our reality. Drawing parallels with William James's theories and contemporary neuroscience, we examined how controlled attention can lead to better emotional regulation. Corey emphasised the importance of knowing not just what you pay attention to, but how you attend to it, and how this awareness can transform your emotional and psychological well-being. Traditional vs. Modern Mindfulness Practices: A significant portion of our conversation focused on comparing traditional Buddhist mindfulness practices with the modern, often simplified versions popularised in the West. Corey highlighted the rich history and depth of traditional practices, which often encompass a broader system of mental cultivation beyond just breath awareness. The Importance of Judgments: We explored the role of judgments in our mental and emotional lives. Corey challenged the popular Western notion of nonjudgmental awareness, explaining how traditional practices encouraged good judgment to guide behaviour aligned with personal goals and virtues. The Role of Emotions: Corey shared insights from his work with emotional balance, particularly how emotions serve as signposts indicating important events. We discussed strategies from both Eastern and Western philosophies to manage emotions, transform emotional states, and cultivate a balanced emotional life. Key Takeaways: Mindfulness as a Multifaceted Tool Attention and Emotional Control Judgment is Crucial Traditional Practices Hold Rich Insights Emotions are Indicative, Not the Enemy Resources: Visit Corey Jackson's website for more about his work and offerings. Explore Amishi Jha's research on mindfulness and attention for further insights into the neuroscience behind these practices Support and Share: If you found this conversation insightful, consider exploring Corey's online courses to further your understanding and practice of mindfulness and emotional balance.

When designing a mindfulness retreat, one key question arises: Does the previous experience of the participants matter? Should a retreat for beginners look different from one for experienced practitioners? How much structure is needed versus allowing space for organic practice? In this episode of the Mindfulness Exercises Podcast, Sean Fargo explores the balance between guidance and openness when leading mindfulness retreats. He shares practical approaches to ensuring retreats are engaging and beneficial for both new and experienced practitioners—without overcomplicating the experience. Whether you're planning your first retreat or refining your approach, this episode covers how to design retreats, support different experience levels, and help participants feel confident in their practice. What You'll Discover: How to design a mindfulness retreat for both beginners and experienced practitioners. The importance of simple, clear instructions without overloading participants. How to support newcomers struggling with self-doubt or an overactive inner critic. The role of self-compassion and mindfulness in overcoming fear and resistance. Why every mindfulness experience—even a beginner's session—is always fresh and new. Sean reminds us that mindfulness isn't about doing things perfectly—it's about learning to meet each moment with awareness, curiosity, and kindness.

In this episode, Loch explores the progressive stages of mindfulness. This contrasts with common definitions of mindfulness which only feature the first stages of concentration and witnessing. In addition, Loch introduces a nuanced map of consciousness which includes important distinctions and levels. In this model, which is based on the Indo-Tibetan approach, mindfulness begins similarly with calm abiding—focusing attention on one object as the main type of awareness. Here the goal is to settle the mind, nervous system, and body. In this method we use a narrow beam of attention, like a flashlight trained on a single object. To illustrate, Loch talks about the neuroscience research that shows how this represses the default mode of mind-wandering and creates a calm state by using the task mode for a simple task. This creates a temporary calm during meditation but is not an essential calm that we can live from.As we progress on the path of mindfulness, we gain the first insight into the changing contents of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and mind objects. In the process we shift into the mindful witness, where the flashlight of awareness shifts from narrow to wide beam or street light. And then the second insight dawns on us that neither our mind nor our self sense is solid.In the next step, we make the pivotal shift to turn awareness around to see what is aware once we are no longer operating from the self-centered and thought-based sense of “me.” Thus we enter into the advanced stages of mindfulness found in Indo-Tibetan and Zen traditions. This insight represents a new foundation of mind and identity as we become mindful of Mind or aware of Awareness. Then, once we discover that this wordless awareness is knowing, the next insight is that there is no separation between empty awareness and the contents or forms that arise. This nondual mindfulness—often called Same Taste—is mindful of the interdependence of life. The next stage of mindfulness Loch talks about is Effortless Mindfulness, also known as bodhicitta or non-meditation in the mahamudra tradition. Loch proposes that this represents a potential next level of human development. A mindfulness from awake loving flow that brings together wisdom, safety, connection, clarity and unconditional love.You can now explore all of Loch Kelly's practices and teachings on the new Mindful Glimpses app, found at https://lochkelly.org/mindful-glimpses. This innovative meditation and wellness app offers daily micro-meditations, step-by-step programs, and simple-yet-advanced tools for awakening.Loch Kelly Bio Loch is the creator of the Mindful Glimpses app, and an award-winning author, psychotherapist, and non-dual meditation teacher. He is also known for his unique practical methods that support awakening as the next natural stage of human development. Backed by modern neuroscience and psychology, Loch introduces Effortless Mindfulness, which combines an ancient form of nondual meditation and IFS psychology that allows immediate access to our embodied awake nature which arises as our calm, clear, and compassionate healing capacity.

Morgan O. Smith is a former stand-up comedian turned meditator. He spent 14 years in the comedy scene, including nine years hosting his own TV show. During the last two years of his comedy career, Morgan discovered light and sound machines, which introduced him to deeper states of meditation. This transformative experience led him to leave show business to focus on meditation and raising his children. Over time, Morgan achieved profound meditative states, including Turia and Tiritita, which inspired him to delve deeper into mindfulness. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Morgan began working with autistic children and offered online meditation sessions, reaching over 1,000 students to help alleviate their stress and anxiety. Alongside his partner Cada Edwards Pierre, he co-developed an innovative app named Psycle. The app utilizes AR, XR technologies, and Brainwave Entrainment to guide users into meditative states, aiming to enhance creativity, mindfulness, and overall well-being. Morgan's book, “Bodhi In The Brain,” further explores his meditation program and its benefits. Listen & Subscribe on: iTunes / Stitcher / Podbean / Overcast / Spotify Contact Info LInkedIn: Morgan O. Smith Most Influential Person Ram Dass Effect On Emotions I still experience my emotions and express them, but when I'm expressing them, I'm doing it from a witness standpoint, so I get to watch myself go through it, and when I'm going through it, it's not as bad as I thought it was. Thoughts On Breathing People can look into pranayama, the art of breathing, and Hinduism and yoga as traditions. My favorite breathing technique is two breaths of fire. They breathe in and out really quickly through the nostrils, which can put you into a certain state. One of my other favorites is alternate nostril breathing, which involves switching from nostril to nostril. This really bounces out the two hemispheres of the brain. What Is Kemor? We were inspired to create Kemor, which is myself and my partner, Keda Edwards Pierre. We got together and created this development app about these five-dimensional beings, which we call Mukshas. This name comes from the word moksha, which means liberation. They become meditation guides. We bring people into these realms, and they meditate using binaural beats. We are using AR and XR technologies. AI and brainwave entrainment will come along in the future.
