What does it mean to inhabit a world that's alive with deities, which might be less like gods than enlightened aspects of the mind? How could that influence how we relate to ourselves, to each other and to our surroundings?Yeshe Palmo has practised tantric Buddhism for roughly four decades, inspired by an empowerment from the Dalai Lama in 1985. Her teacher was Thrangu Rinpoche and in recent years she's worked with Mingyur Rinpoche's Awareness Yoga – on which more here, along with a video of Yeshe in action.Our conversation explores her experience from multiple angles, including what inspired her to become a Buddhist nun. We also talk about her M.A. research on how postural yoga can help Western Buddhists before long retreats, and reflect on whether monasteries are necessary to pass on traditions.Above all, we consider what it means to have a sacred view, and how deities and nature spirits might be helpful in practice – despite potential objections from the rational mind. This episode expands on some themes from the last one (which is archived here), but there's no need to hear them in order.

Hello Friends on the path…I've known about the struggles of some of my favorite philosophers…Krishnamurti suffered from terrible migraines. Ram Dass had a massive stroke. Yogananda had crippling pain from apparently taking on the karma of his devotees. Anyone in a physical body suffers. Facts.But the accounts I found most helpful were those of teachers who struggled with anxiety and panic. Teachers of mind mastery who had to face these kinds of inner hurdles struck me deeply. Two of whom helped me relax into deep self compassion: Adyashanti and Mingyur Rinpoche, and I've found a way to loop their teaching back to one of Audrey Lourdes' pillars:“Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me.”I'm sharing their enlightening humanness in today's WITH LOVE, DANIELLE (Eps 104) as part of my 4 part series on Healing With Anxiety. It reminds me of the very simple Buddhist prayer, “May my suffering be of service.” Please tune in and… give yourself a break.Your fellow aspiring human…With Love,DanielleMENTIONED IN EPISODE 104:In Love With The World by Mingyur RinpocheAdyashantiThe Nourish System: reduce stress + restore your nervous systemThe Heart Centered Mastermind: Support for your business + career-ing.

She talks about creativity in the liminal state, then Anouk Shambrook—an astrophysicist turned meditation teacher—talks about the intersections between science and spirituality. First, a short reading from Buddhadharma's Rod Meade Sperry of an article by world-renowned meditation teacher, Mingyur Rinpoche.  Explore the rest of the November 2023 issue of Lion's Roar.  

Citações e trechos do livro “A Marvelous Garland of Rare Gems”, de Nyoshul Khenpo Rinpoche. Nascido no leste do Tibete (Derge), Nyoshul Khenpo Rinpoche, ou Jamyang Dorje (1931 - 1999) foi um grande mestre de meditação da escola Nyingma do Budismo Vajrayana tibetano. Aos cinco anos, Khenpo foi levado a conhecer um mosteiro Sakya local. Aos oito anos, se matriculou no mosteiro e aprendeu a ler e escrever, mas foi encarregado de cuidar das ovelhas. Desejando ter uma melhor instrução religiosa, aos doze anos, Khenpo foi para Nyoshul receber ensinamentos em Dzogchen e Mahāmudrā. Em Nyoshul, ele estudou e passou por um treinamento tradicional de doze anos, até a idade de vinte e quatro. Mais tarde, mudou-se para Katok, onde continuou seus estudos com outros lamas. Sempre combinando seus estudos com retiros de meditação e prática intensiva, Khenpo contou com vinte e cinco grandes mestres como seus principais professores, dos quais o mais central em sua vida foi Shedrup Tenpé Nyima. Após a conclusão de seus estudos formais, Khenpo foi nomeado abade e ensinou filosofia aos jovens monges do mosteiro por vários anos. Em 1959, Nyoshul fugiu da ocupação comunista do Tibete e passou a viver exilado na Índia e no Butão. No início dos anos 1970, enquanto permanecia em Kalimpong, Jamyang Dorje adoeceu e seu sistema nervoso ficou gravemente prejudicado por vários anos. Embora tenha sobrevivido, ele frequentemente tinha problemas com a voz e não conseguia falar acima de um sussurro. Quando ele dava instruções, muitas vezes era sussurrado aos ouvidos dos alunos ou por escrito em um pedaço de papel. Nyoshul foi professor de muitos da geração atual de mestres em Dzogchen, incluindo Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, Mingyur Rinpoche, Tsoknyi Rinpoche, Sogyal Rinpoche e outros. Na verdade, é dito que existem poucos lamas contemporâneos que não receberam ensinamentos Dzogchen de Nyoshul Khenpo. Saiba mais em: https://rodadodarma.com.br/conheca-ny...

Difícil descrever o encontro especial com Tim Olmsted que aconteceu na última segunda-feira mas, se pudéssemos escolher uma palavra, diríamos que foi arrebatador.  Tim é um grande praticante de várias formas de meditação, com mais de 45 anos de experiência, além de apoiar e orientar praticantes do mundo inteiro. Devido a um convite de Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (também professor de Ani Pema), conheceu e se tornou aluno próximo de Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche por 12 anos. Atualmente é um dos instrutores mais demandados do Tergar, comunidade internacional de Mingyur Rinpoche, mestre ao qual Pema dedica um capítulo inteiro em seu livro mais recente sobre a morte. Além de serem da mesma tradição de sabedoria, Pema Chödrön e Tim Olmsted são amigos muito próximos. Desde 2007, ela convidava Tim para conduzir retiros e ensinar ao seu lado. Ele também foi diretor do monastério Gampo Abbey, onde vive Pema Chödrön, e é presidente da Pema Chödrön Foundation, organização que apoia dezenas de projetos em todo o mundo. O encontro foi inteiro dedicado às perguntas da comunidade — organizadas e feitas pela coordenação – e as respostas de Tim vieram recheadas de  pontos-chave do caminho. Neste episódio do podcast, você acompanha algumas dessas perguntas e a tradução é, mais uma vez, da querida e impecável Jeanne Pilli.

This morning prayer invites you to delight in your human existence and to freely call out for divine assistance. It is based on a Tibetan Buddhist daily practice called "Nectar of the Path" taught by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. It includes The Four Thoughts, Refuge & Bodhichitta, and Guru Yoga. In some cases, I have put the prayers into my own words to make them relatable to a non-buddhist.

Talk It Out Radio host Nancy Kahn interviews Stephan Berwick on: Why and How Does the Chinese Art of Tai Chi Heal and Build Wellness? Nancy Kahn interviews the famed Chinese style marital arts teacher and researcher, Stephan Berwick about how Tai Chi healed and transformed the late rock music icon, Lou Reed in an exclusive discussion about his work bringing Reed's dream book on Tai Chi, “The Art of The Straight Line. My Tai Chi” to fruition (and just published by Harper Collings), with Reed's wife, artist Laurie Anderson”. Lou Reed was a musician, singer, songwriter, poet, and founding member of the legendary rock band the Velvet Underground. He collaborated with many artists, from Andy Warhol and John Cale to Robert Wilson and Metallica. Reed had a groundbreaking solo career that spanned five decades until his death in 2013. Reed was also an accomplished martial artist whose practice began in the 1980s. He studied with Chen Tai Chi pioneer Master Ren GuangYi. This book is a comprehensive collection of Reed's writings on Tai Chi. It includes conversations with Reed's fellow musicians, artists, friends, and Tai Chi practitioners, including Julian Schnabel, A. M. Homes, Hal Willner, Mingyur Rinpoche, Eddie Stern, Tony Visconti, and Iggy Pop. “The Art of the Straight Line. My Tai Chi” features Reed's unpublished writings on the technique, practice, and purpose of martial arts, as well as essays, observations, and riffs on meditation and life. Stephan Berwick is a martial arts instructor, performer, and researcher, specializing in Chen Tai Chi and Chinese swordsmanship. As an original student of Master Ren, Berwick conducted primary research at Tai Chi's birthplace in Henan, China over two decades ago. From that research, Berwick published the first English language profiles of the emerging Chen village masters, and other works on traditional martial arts. Before devoting himself to Chen Tai Chi, Stephan was one of the two first Americans – with Asia's top action star, Donnie Yen – to train in Xian, China under its national martial arts champion, Zhao Changjun and his coach, Bai Wenxiang. With Yen, Berwick went on to perform in Hong Kong action films under the tutelage of the director, Yuen Woping, as one of the few Western martial artists to star in Chinese action films. Years later, he met and befriended Lou Reed in 2003 at a national martial arts event with Master Ren. The post Why and How Does the Chinese Art of Tai Chi Heal and Build Wellness? appeared first on KPFA.

Loch Kelly is a meditation teacher and author.  He teaches a nondual approach to relieving suffering that he calls Effortless Mindfulness.  This approach is based in the Mahamudra teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, and Loch has studied with two great teachers of this tradition, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and his son, Mingyur Rinpoche. He has also studied with the American meditation teacher Adyashanti, who first suggested that Loch teach others.  Today we talk about Loch's approach to the direct path of awakening.

Loch Kelly describes open-hearted awareness as a direct experience of our interconnectedness and the feeling of being held by the same essence that holds all life. It is a dynamic place that sparkles with life. Some describe it as “a child on the first day of summer vacation.” It is beyond head-knowing. It taps into a deeper source of intelligence and wisdom. Loch Kelly, M.Div, LCSW is founder of the nonprofit Open-Heart Awareness Institute. He is an educator, licensed psychotherapist, and recognized leader in the field of meditation, who was asked to teach Sutra Mahamudra by Mingyur Rinpoche and to teach nondual realization by Adyashanti. He collaborates with neuroscientists in the study of meditation to discover ways to improve compassion and well-being. He's an emerging voice in modernizing meditation and social engagement. He is the author of Shift Into Freedom: The Science and Practices of Open-Hearted Awareness (Sounds True 2015) and a CD set of Meditations: Shift Into Freedom: A Training in the Science and Practice of Open-Hearted Awareness (Sounds True 2015)Interview Date: 1/13/2016 Tags:Loch Kelly, nondualism, consciousness, problem solver consciousness, thought based operating system, awareness based knowing, ground of being, mindfulness meditation, waking-up waking-in waking-out, embodied meditation, heart-mind, open-hearted awareness, memory door meditation, shame, well-being, spacious awareness, pure awareness, curiosity, intelligence, wisdom, creativity, Meditation, Philosophy, Personal Transformation, Spirituality

Born in 1975 in the Himalayan border regions between Tibet and Nepal, Mingyur Rinpoche is among the generation of Tibetan lamas trained outside of Tibet, and he's also a gifted meditator. His brain activity has been measured during meditation, earning him the nickname of "happiest man on earth." He fuses scientific and spiritual considerations, explaining meditation as a physical as well as a spiritual process. Mingyur gknows from experience that meditation can change the brain. He experienced panic attacks as a child that he was able to overcome through intensive meditation. If diligently practiced, meditation can affect the "neuronal gossip"—his imaginative rendering of brain cell communication—that keeps us stuck in unhappy behaviors. The meditation master offers a wide variety of techniques, counseling ease in practice to avoid boredom or aversion. Less is more; practice shorter periods more often, he says.

What is enlightenment? What does it mean to be truly awake? Are you awake? Enlightenment can take many forms. In this final episode, we will look back at highlights from all our guests and consider enlightenment from Tibetan Buddhist perspective with Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, a highly respected Tibetan Buddhist meditation teacher from the Kagyu tradition, one of the four main lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. This episode features Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche along with Aparna Nancherla, Alok Vaid-Menon, Tara Brach, Latham Thomas, Amanda Palmer, Lama Rod Owens, Tsherin Sherpa, BJ Miller, Patricia James, and host Laurie Anderson.

Each episode dives into the personal stories of guests who share how they've experienced a shift in their awareness, and as a result, their perspective on life. From deep introspection to curious life-changing moments, awakening can take many forms, from the mundane to the sacred. Taking inspiration from the exhibition "Awaken: A Tibetan Buddhist Journey Toward Enlightenment", each story uses artworks as a jumping off point as we hear from authors, artists, wisdom bearers, and Buddhist teachers, because every journey is different.

Seres de todos os reinos, está no ar o segundo episódio da nossa série “O bem-estar como habilidade”. Começamos essa série inspirados por uma fala do Dr. Richard Davidson justamente sobre o bem-estar ser uma habilidade que podemos cultivar. Como comentamos no primeiro episódio da série, seguiremos, apenas como ponto de partida, quatro pilares de práticas apontados pela ciência - e pelos contemplativos - como essenciais para esse cultivo: Propósito, Consciência, Conexão e Insight. (Apenas como contexto para quem não ouviu no primeiro episódio da série, esses termos são uma tradução livre nossa da linguagem utilizada no programa Healthy Minds para apresentar esses pilares. O Healthy Minds é um programa que foi criado pelo próprio Richard Davidson e outros cientistas, como Cortland Dahl, ambos grandes praticantes e alunos do Mingyur Rinpoche). Se você ainda não viu, no primeiro programa da série, falamos sobre “Propósito”. E, hoje, vamos conversar sobre o segundo pilar: “Consciência”. De novo, voltamos com o mesmo formato: uma mesa redonda entre nós seis, em que compartilhamos como esse tema em particular ressoa para cada um em primeira pessoa. Nesse pilar, de “Consciência”, estão todas as práticas voltadas para o cultivo da atenção, da introspecção e outras habilidades mentais correlatas. Em outras palavras, todas as práticas que nos apoiem a cultivar uma atenção relaxada, estável e clara tanto ao ambiente ao nosso redor quanto a experiências internas, como pensamentos e emoções. Diversos estudos científicos atuais apontam a conexão entre esse pilar com o bem-estar, na medida em que ele nos ajuda, por meio de suas práticas, a irmos além da agitação ou distração e do mero torpor ou embotamento - os dois extremos nos quais usualmente nos vemos no dia a dia. Dentre os resultados específicos identificados, estão o de que essas práticas apoiam a regulação emocional; levam a níveis mais baixos de estresse, reatividade a dor, ansiedade e depressão e promovem emoções positivas e uma maior sensação psicológica de bem-estar. Além disso, claro, esse pilar é uma das bases de muitos caminhos contemplativos, então é mais um ponto onde há uma clara convergência entre a ciência e as práticas contemplativas. Mas, nem precisamos ir tão longe para ver a importância dessas práticas: é só lembrarmos da última vez que tentamos focar em alguma tarefa, leitura, conversa, etc. para vermos a dificuldade que temos de realmente direcionar e manter a nossa atenção em algum objeto de nossa escolha. Usualmente, somos simplesmente carregados, sem liberdade e sem muitas escolhas pela nossa mente. É evidente que, com uma mente assim, estamos muito mais sujeito às aflições mentais, a termos episódios emocionais destrutivos e a seguirmos comportamentos dos quais nos arrependeremos no futuro. Então, este foi o tema da nossa conversa! Assim como fizemos no programa anterior, falamos, a partir da nossa experiência em primeira pessoa, sobre como vemos a conexão entre essas práticas de “Consciência” (ou cultivo da atenção) e o cultivo do bem-estar, abordamos potenciais obstáculos, armadilhas e dificuldades nesse caminho e finalizamos com práticas, contemplações e referências que têm nos apoiado a seguir praticando. Não esperem nenhuma aula ou grande ensinamento, ouçam realmente como uma conversa despretensiosa entre praticantes. Mais uma vez, vocês vão ver que dividimos o programa em alguns blocos de perguntas e, entre cada um, colocamos uma música como transição. Sugerimos aproveitar esse breve momento para notar como tudo o que falamos no bloco anterior ressoa por aí e como vocês responderiam às perguntas que nos fizemos. Se acharem útil, pausem o áudio por alguns instantes para essas reflexões. Também, como fizemos no primeiro programa da série, vamos deixar, ao final do programa, uma sugestão de prática relacionada a esse pilar, para cada um fazer no seu próprio tempo. E, no site, na página desse episódio, listamos algumas das referências que citamos para quem quiser se aprofundar. É isso! Relaxem e desfrutem! Como sempre, para quem quiser nos apoiar, estamos no apoia.se/coemergencia.

A conversation with psychologist and meditation teacher nico hase, whose life revolves around long retreats and deep practice. Among other things, we speak about identity, the self, the differences between western psychology and eastern meditation practices, and to what purpose each of them serve. How already at 14 - 15 years old there was distressing stuff going on in nico's family, and how he was impacted by that. He didn't know how to deal with all that anger and internal distress. Then he came across a book by meditation teacher Joseph Goldstein, and that turned everything around… Joseph's book, Insight Meditation, spoke about suffering being an inevitable part of life - AND about the path out of suffering. nico tells us about the experiences of his first meditation retreat, both the difficulties, but also a small opening, and with that a realisation that this could actually lead to peace of mind. Only 18 years old he did a moth long retreat. At 19 a 5 months retreat, and shortly after that he became a zen-monk and moved into a zen-monastery. nico says he feels that meditation saved him, and he tells us about the intense practice at the zen-centre. How nico has practiced intensely both in the zen tradition, the insight tradition and the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Good zen books to read: Shunryu Suzuki: “Zen-mind beginners mind” and “Enlightenment unfolds” by teachers at San Fransisco zen-centre. How meeting his future wife, Devon, while still at the zen-centre also introduced him to Tibetan Buddhism. How meeting Mingyur Rinpoche, a renowned Tibetan teacher, made him go fully into Tibetan Buddhism. How looking back at the suffering he experienced when he was very young, is interesting, because now, he can hardly recognise that person. How his meditation training has made him able to work constructively with his mind when he gets thrown or upset. nico's thoughts on comparison between western psychology (he has a phd in psychology) and meditation practice, and how the ultimate goal of the two practices is very different. How to bring your mind into a more peaceful state with meditation. How to break the grip that your thoughts normally have on you, and how you can then look at your mind, and see your mind clearly, and how from there you can slowly learn to let go. How the goal in psycho therapy is to get people who are in distress back to normal, whereas in Buddhist practice, it is assumed that you are already pretty healthy when you start, and your seeking is more existential, and the goal is enlightenment. How it came about that nico not so long ago changed his name How intense meditation practice does bring about big changes in our inner self, and how ingrained patterns can fall away. We talk about how identity is more of a process and less of a fixed, defined, static and reliable entity. How not having to defend this fixed personality is liberating. We talk about how to be with and support someone who is feeling a lot of distress: to just be with them, and let them know that all these feelings are normal and okay How it doesn't work to give somebody advise who didn't ask for it. www.devonandnicohase.com www.duritaholm.com

In this episode, Wendy speaks with Tibetan Buddhist teacher Mingyur Rinpoche about how contemplative practice can lead us to awareness, compassion, and wisdom. Their conversation covers many topics, including: his involvement in early contemplative research; translating concepts between Buddhism and science; what Buddhists mean by "emptiness"; non-conceptual meditation, open presence and foundational awareness; the three kinds of self, and which one is like shaving foam; the problem of othering; making friends with panic and difficult emotions; the experience of a "wandering" retreat; and building trust through contemplative practice.

For the full interview: ⭐ https://nightclub.andrewholecek.com/interviews/antoine-lutz/ Join neuroscientist Antoine Lutz, who belongs to the rare breed of “contemplative scientist,” in a wide-ranging tour of mind and reality. The conversation begins with a look at neurophenomenology, a term coined by the groundbreaking scientist Francisco Varela, that underlies much of the scientific exploration of meditation. How can we honor first-person (phenomenology) and third-person (neuroscience) perspectives without reducing one to the other. Antoine discusses his extensive research around pain, and the importance of functional de-coupling and deautomatization. We're essentially automatons, running on automatic ignorance, where everything we experience is automatically referenced to self, a contraction/referencing that creates all our suffering. This unconscious process also generates the sense of duality altogether, which could be studied in the lab. Are there neurological signatures for the experience of nonduality – and why does that matter? What is the promise and peril of scientifically studying meditators? Why should a meditator care about any of this? Using science, philosophy, psychology and the wisdom traditions, this conversation ranges from the theoretical to the personal, from the abstract (intersubjective realism) to the practical (how to work with pain). Discover why Dr. Lutz is one of the pioneering researchers exploring the meditative mind, and how this work can benefit the world. More about Antoine: Dr. Antoine Lutz is currently a director of research at the French Medical Research Institute (INSERM) in the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center (CNRL) where he co-leads the Experiential Neuroscience and Mental Training Team (EDUWELL). After a Master degree in engineering and a BA in philosophy at the Sorbonne under the direction of Natalie Depraz, he did his PhD in cognitive neurosciences in Paris, France, with Francisco Varela where he applied for the first time his neurophenomenology program to study the neural correlates of attention and perception. Since 1998, he has studied meditation with various teachers including Mingyur Rinpoche, Tsoknyi Rinpoche, Matthieu Ricard and Joseph Goldstein. During his postdoctoral work with Richard Davidson, at the University of Madison-Wisconsin, he studied using neuroimaging techniques meditation practices such as mindfulness or compassion meditations in expert meditators and in novices who learnt to meditate using the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program (MBSR). In 2008, Richard Davidson and him were awarded a NIH-NCCAM grant to fund in Madison the first American Center of Excellence on Research dedicated to neurophysiological study of meditation practices. After working for ten years in the US as a research scientist, he joined the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center in France in January 2013. His current research group focuses on the neurophenomenology of mindfulness and compassion meditations and on the impact of these practices on consciousness, attention and emotion regulations, and pain perception as measured by cognitive, affective and social neuroimaging paradigms using EEG, MEG, intra-cortical EEG, and fMRI. This research is currently funded by a European ERC consolidator grant (Brain&Mindfulness, 2014-2021).

Join the tribe with our fun, free biweekly newsletter (coming early in 2021): http://bit.ly/rbrthnews If you have some extra time to curl up with a good book or movie this week, here are a couple of recommendations for you! The first is In Love with Life by Mingyur Rinpoche, a fun read about a renowned Tibetan master who decides to leave his identity as a reincarnate lama in order to spend four years on a wandering retreat. He brings the bardo teachings into real life, both as a way of talking about leaving his old identity behind and when he nearly dies of food poisoning and has a near death experience. The movie recommendation is Unmistaken Child, a sweet and beautiful movie that takes us inside the process of a devoted Tibetan monk and student searching for the reincarnation of his master.

In this episode I talk with Tina Rasmussen Ph.D, a meditation teacher and author who is best known as being the first Western woman to master the virtuoso-level shamata meditation system of Pa Auk Sayadaw. In this interview we learn about Tina’s life-defining quest for enlightenment which inspired her 1-year solo retreat in which her practice of Dzogchen triggered not only massive energetic phenomena but also a profound spiritual awakening.

Loch Kelly is a meditation teacher and psychotherapist who combines western science and psychology with ancient eastern methods for training the mind. He's the Founder of Open-Hearted Awareness Institute and author of Shift Into Freedom and The Way of Effortless Mindfulness. Loch served on the New York Insight Teachers Council, studied extensively with Mingyur Rinpoche, and was invited to teach by Adyashanti, two very famous meditation teachers. Given his extensive experience meditating and decades studying with teachers in Sri Lanka, Nepal and all around the world, Loch was asked to collaborate with neuroscientists at Yale, UPenn, and NYU in the study of how meditation training can enhance the brain. In this episode, we discuss flow states, non-duality, and how to shift out of a thought-based operating system, and Loch leads a powerful guided meditation.

"Effortless Mindfulness is letting go of present moments, thoughts, and attention to open to a naturally wise, compassionate awareness that is connected in the Now. " – Loch Kelly Loch Kelly, M.Div., LCSW, is an author, meditation teacher, licensed psychotherapist, and founder of Open-Hearted Awareness Institute, a nonprofit located in New York. Author of the best-selling and award-winning book The Way of Effortless Mindfulness, Loch is a recognized leader in the field of meditation, and offers tools for effortless mindfulness. He served on the New York Insight Teachers Council, studied extensively with Mingyur Rinpoche, and was invited to teach direct realization by Adyashanti, an American-born spiritual teacher who has been teaching for more than 20 years. “There is more to effortless mindfulness than meditation,” Loch says. “Effortless mindfulness is primarily an off-the-meditation-cushion way of weaving together contemplation and compassionate actions. Effortless mindfulness begins by opening to a natural spacious awareness in order to become more wise, embodied, and creative. A new ethical motivation springs from the realization of a loving interconnection with all of life." Effortless awareness has been described in the traditional literature as being so close it cannot be seen, so subtle it cannot be understood, and so good it cannot be believed. Loch describes effortless mindfulness as the discovery of an optimal mind, or an open mind, that’s already aware which we can then be aware from. “From this spacious and pervasive awareness, we discover that we’re aware not only of the ability to focus on our breath, but we feel almost as if we’re being breathed, as if our breath is connected to the outer world, the inner world, and we feel as if we’re in this flow or what’s been called ‘in the zone.’” Loch’s work is to help people access awakening as the next natural stage of human development. He has collaborated with neuroscientists at Yale, UPenn, and NYU in the study of how awareness training can enhance compassion and wellbeing. He offers in-person retreats, workshops, and online video and audio courses. Loch has authored three books, including Shift into Freedom: The Science and Practice of Open-Hearted Awareness (2015); Effortless Mindfulness Now: Awakening Our Natural Capacity for Focus, Freedom, and Joy (2017); and The Way of Effortless Mindfulness: A Revolutionary Guide for Living an Awakened Life (2019). His latest book offers a practical guide to experiencing the next stage in the ongoing mindfulness revolution: effortless mindfulness. With guided experiential practices, he writes about how to live with an open heart and peaceful mind and uncover the wise and loving awareness that is within and all around us. Loch graduated from Columbia University where he received a traveling fellowship to study forms of non-dual meditation in Sri Lanka, India and Nepal from 1981-1982, and has studied with teachers from around the world. As a meditation teacher, Loch teaches using an adult-education style based in the earliest non-dual wisdom traditions, modern science, and psychotherapy. Loch has worked in community mental health, established homeless shelters and counseled family members of 9/11. He spent 10 years establishing homeless shelters and community lunch programs while working in a community mental health clinic in Brooklyn, New York. He also served as Coordinator of Counseling and Interspiritual Chaplain at Union Theological Seminary and worked extensively with families recovering from the trauma of 9/11. Loch currently lives in New York City with his wife Paige and their cat Duffy. Join us in conversation with this gifted teacher!

Tibetan teacher Mingyur Rinpoche said, “The only difference between meditation and ordinary social interaction is that the friend you’re gradually coming to know is yourself.” If you’ve ever practiced meditation, you’ll know this to be true.  Conversely, if you’ve never tried meditation, you might be thinking it sounds too difficult or too abstract. I can relate to this, because the first time I tried meditation, I had to suspend disbelief. But this simple practice brought me awareness, consciousness, and ultimately led to my passion for helping others. And I owe it all to today’s guest, Jane Wambui Kaberere. Jane is the most requested guest on the Model Health Show, my biggest inspiration, and she also happens to be my mother-in-law. She is the epitome of overcoming obstacles in order to make a positive impact on others. Her story encompasses all levels of health and wellness, including nutrition, mindfulness, and self-care. Learning from Jane has truly been one of the biggest gifts in my life, and I’m so grateful to be able to share that experience with you today.   In this episode you’ll discover: What Jane’s culture taught her about the role of women.  How Jane’s mother motivated her to strive for more and defy traditional gender roles.  A thought that inspired Jane to uncover real happiness.  The power of asking questions and having the audacity to experiment.  What inspired Jane to pursue an education.  The extents that she went to in order to learn and grow.  How meditation can help you overcome your fears.  Why meditation is like driving a car.  The story behind how meditation led to the creation of the Model Health Show. How meditation can teach you compassion and connection. The different types of mediation that Jane has experimented with. Why Jane loves to teach meditation.  How emotional pain can manifest into physical symptoms.  Jane’s inspiration for learning more about nutrition.  How the naming system works in Kenya.  The power of practicing self-care and self-love.  Why accepting support from those around you can be so powerful.  Items mentioned in this episode include:  Thrivemarket.com/modelhealth ⇐ 25% off your entire 1st order + free shipping!

At the age of 36, the Tibetan Buddhist meditation master Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche sneaked out of his monastery in Bodhgaya, India, in the middle of the night to live as a beggar and traveling yogi. The story of how he left behind his privileged lifestyle for a four-year wandering retreat is told in the new book, In Love With the World: A Monk's Journey Through the Bardos of Living and Dying, which he co-wrote with his student and Tricycle’s founding editor, Helen Tworkov. Tworkov sits down with James Shaheen, Tricycle’s publisher and editor, to discuss how she helped Mingyur Rinpoche tell his story, the near-death experience that transformed his life and teachings, and how seeing the small deaths we experience each day can help us alleviate our fears of dying. They also discuss the origins of the magazine and how the Western Buddhist landscape has changed over time.

In June 2011, Abbott of a monastery in India, Mingyur Rinpoche, left his esteemed post and spent four and a half years in a wandering Retreat. Living without money, clothing (other than the dhoti cloth on his body) or material comforts, he tested the boundaries of his meditation practice and found a freedom and happiness not bound by external conditions and comforts. In this illuminating interview, Rinpoche speaks about his near-death experience and the importance of dying every day in order to embrace the impermanence of life and experience the luminosity of pure awareness.

Helen Tworkov first encountered Buddhism in Nepal during the 1960's and has studied in both the Zen and Tibetan traditions. She has also studied with Mingyur Rinpoche, a well-known Tibetan Buddhist meditation master. Together they have written the book "In Love with the World: A Monk's Journey Through the Bardos of Living and Dying." The book details Rinpoche

Listen to this podcast to learn how you can effortlessly begin a simple and sustainable meditation practice without struggling against your busy mind, and without needing to find the time in your busy life.Meditation teachers have historically given new meditators the opposite of what they want.You want a calm mind but you soon become keenly aware of the frantic nature of your mind as you try to learn the strange new practice of meditation.You are already overwhelmed with tasks, appointments, priorities and activites and the meditation teacher gives you yet another thing to do!There is however, fortunately, an easier and softer way. Along with the mental practices and the disciplined training methods learned from Buddhist and Hindu monasteries and temples, we have also imported from the East the brilliant concept of Wu Wei.Wu Wei is a Daoist concept that is usually translated as the ‘action of no action’. Wu Wei is actually the practice of using the forces of the universe, nature and the mind to bring us to where we wish to be, instead of applying the typical Western bull-headed method of trying to bend reality to our will through force and pressure.Using Wu Wei, and having learned a key meditation practice from the great meditation teacher, Mingyur Rinpoche, Robert has developed, and now teaches ‘The Practice of No Practice’. The Practice of No Practice Is an Effortless and Frictionless meditation training method that removes the stress induced by our typical modern goal-oriented and willpower-based approach.The Practice of No Practice is a combination of the Meditation of No Meditation and the Four Tens Meditation taught in a way that overcomes out typical Western black and white approach to learning.Support the show (http://2020meditation.com/coffee)

What is estate planning, really?

Mingyur Rinpoche, the author of "The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness," is a study of contradictions. On one hand, he's been formally recognized as the reincarnation of two Tibetan meditation masters. On the other hand, he has been working with scientists to design research around the impact meditation can have on the brain. In fact, he and other practitioners had their brain activity measured while meditating on compassion and the researchers were stunned by the results. Mingyur also freely admits that he suffered from anxiety and panic attacks as a child, and talks about how he turned to meditation for help.
