Welcome to episode 47 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. This special episode features a precious recording of Thich Nhat Hanh which was previously thought lost. Dating from 2012, it documents an interview journalist Jo Confino conducted with the Zen master in Plum Village's Toadskin Hut. (Though since remastered, be aware that some background noise remains.) The conversation covers a wide range of absorbing topics, from the environment, climate change, and civilizational collapse to consumerism, the simple life, 70 years of practicing mindfulness, new Buddhism, passing on, and sangha as continuation. The recording is introduced by Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and Jo Confino, who provide details about the context of the interview and the significance of certain places, people, and events which are mentioned.“Thay is relaxed, insightful, open, and being Thay at his very best.”Enjoy!

They try not to think about it, like a camel who doesn’t want to realize that there’s a lion ahead, so they’re just looking to the sand in order to see only the sand. So that is the attitude of men; we are afraid, we don’t want to see the truth.” “Thay sent a message to the root temple [Tu Hieu Temple] saying, ‘You should not build a stupa for Thay, because Thay is continued out here.' One person has already built a temple for Thay in Hanoi, so I reminded them to make the inscription outside, on the front: ‘I am not in here.' And then if people don’t understand, you add a second sentence: ‘I’m not out there either.' And if they still don’t understand, add the third and the last sentence: ‘I may be found, maybe in your way of breathing or walking. I’m not in here.' The root temple has received that message. I said I don’t want to waste the land of the temple in order to build me a stupa. Don’t put me in a small pot in there; I don’t want to continue like that. It’s better to put the ash outside to help the trees to grow. That is the meditation.” “It’s not true that I will die one day, because I have already died many times. And you die every moment and you are reborn in every moment.” “The foundation of your happiness is understanding and love. So if you have that insight and you live by that insight, you will not be fearful anymore.” “We are happy because we are able to have the Buddha and to renew his teachings. He’s deeply misunderstood by many people, so we try to make the teachings available and simple enough so that people, all people, can make good use of that teaching and practice.” “Taking a walk and nourishing yourself never harmed anyone.” “And if this body has 100 years’ mortality, Thay will continue to practice, to learn how to love better, to understand better; there’s no limit to the practice. And I think that is true of the human race: we can continue to learn, generation after generation. And I think it’s time for us to begin to learn how to love in non-discriminative ways. Because we are intelligent enough, but we are not loving enough as a race, as a species.” “I think our perception of time may help, because for us, it [the climate crisis] is a very alarming notion – but if Mother Earth suffers, she knows that she has the power to heal herself. If needed, she will take one hundred million years to heal herself. But for us, we think that our time on Earth is only 100 years, and that is why we are impatient. But I think the collective karma, the collective ignorance, anger, and violence of our race, will lead to our destruction.”

Our relationship with Mother Earth, and the need for even the smallest of actions to protect her, is our focus in today's podcast with Ayana Young.

"Experience the divine connection with nature, mysticism, and spirituality through Holly Wilmeth's Sacred Nature Oracle Cards."   "It takes courage, it takes patience, it takes kindness to hold both sides of these ways of being inside the heart and understand that there is an interwoven grace of hope." - Holly Wilmeth.   Holly Wilmeth is a Guatemalan-born artist who creates images that embody elements of nature, mysticism, and spirituality, drawing inspiration from ancient mythologies, symbolisms, diverse cultures, and deep spiritual practice. Her artwork is a personal interpretation of her life's sacred dance.   Holly Wilmeth was inspired to create her oracle deck, Sacred Nature, after spending time with her son and connecting with nature. She blended her family life with her project and used a metal bicycle helmet to drape flowers over for her images. Holly felt a deep connection to nature and the divine when she created the images and learned to surrender to the unknown and the mystery of life. The deck was a way of reconnecting with Mother Earth and reminding us of nature's wisdom. After completing the project, Holly is now deciding her next steps.   In this episode, you will learn the following: How Holly Wilmeth used creativity and playfulness to create her Sacred Nature Oracle deck How nature can be used to reconnect with ourselves and the divine How to effectively release and recycle sorrows with the help of Mother Earth.     Get in touch with Holly: https://www.hollywilmeth.com/ https://www.instagram.com/hollywilmeth/ https://www.facebook.com/holly.wilmeth.3/     Holly's Scared Nature Oracle Deck: https://www.hollywilmeth.com/sacred-nature   Read Holly's Article: https://www.bestholisticlife.com/bhl-subscription/     Get in touch with Jana and listen to more Podcasts: https://www.janashort.com/   Show Music ‘Hold On' by Amy Gerhartz https://www.amygerhartz.com/music.    Get Your Free Copy of Best Holistic Life Magazine!

Welcome Dear Listeners,In this episode,  we're taking a look at the astrological changes that are going to reverberate in every area of our lives.  No matter when you listen to this episode, this lunar cycle with Full Moon in Virgo, the beginning transit of Saturn in Pisces presents a deep and evolutionary message of change.As you listen to this episode, you will hear me mention that  I work with the signs in pairs.  This is no less the case with Virgo and Pisces.   It is helpful to recognize that signs can either be  viewed as opposites or operate complementary to one another.  In the case of Pisces and Virgo,  we have the symbolism of water(emotions/feeling energy) and Virgo, earth( practical/planning energy).  So how can we ignite, navigate and live our lives in a way that brings the practical application of Virgo into expression,  and use the intuitive, imaginative,  spiritual and inner wisdom offered through the Pisces ?One of the most powerful insights being revealed through Moon in Virgo, is about gaining an understanding,  while recognizing the powerful thinking ability of  Virgo .  This earth-based sign has a genius for organizing and creating viable forms and systems.  There is a pristine clarity  in the way that Virgo  brings refinement and a transformative quality to  whatever needs organizing and systematic development.With Pisces energy positioned across from Virgo,  we are offered an opportunity to gain awareness of how to receive insights from the intuitive and cosmic realms.  This sign brings  a need to  understand that in order to have a full range of living, it's necessary to understand that we have to go beyond the 5 senses and mundane daily existence.  To be in "flow with this sign",  it's important to experience  it  through spiritual, mystical, magical and inner wisdom connections.So we have the planet Saturn providing us with a chance to learn how to create structures of awareness, which work well with the Virgo energy and "know how".  Saturn provides a reality check on what is realistic, so that  the harnessing  of Pisces dreams, insights, visions, inner awareness can happen.  Over the next 3 years, the  Saturn in Pisces frequency is going to shift focus from the collective false belief systems of separation between people.  Notice the symbolism of water, has become an actual force, where Mother Earth is presenting every kind of situation imaginable.  This is the "evolutionary, revolutionary and collective shake up" which is revealing, that old states of low vibrational collective consciousness  is being dissolved, albeit with much resistance by many individuals across the globe. I invite you to take your own chart, and perhaps journal through visual art, collage,  divination card spreads, or anything that helps you to dialogue  with  yourself.  Our Journey continues.... Learn how you can to use the wisdom of Astrology. Schedule a personal reading with me. I look forward to seeing you.https://www.soulsoundinsights.com/light-reading.html https://soulsoundinsights.teachable.com/Enjoy Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus Drumming Video:https://vimeo.com/769123538/b344b2b541 "Calling The Wild", Original Music by MaeRuth McCants

You might think that nature, art, and SEL are separate things but they aren't... It's actually a family affair! Chatting with writer, pianist, and environmental justice educator, Sylvia Hadnot (she/they), we learn why and how when we connect children to Mother Earth and Father Sky we are actually connecting them to the entire universe.

I won't have all the answers, but I'm not afraid to question and search along with you. God, Goddess, Source, Buddha, Yahweh, Ancestors, Mother Earth, Light Beings, etc - it doesn't matter what you call it. Everyone should be able to connect to the Divine in their own unique way. So relax, release the fears and judgment, and be ready for a few F bombs from a free thinker who believes you have waaaaay more power than you realize. Website: www.spiritualfreedompodcast.com"Spiritual Freedom Podcast" on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Spiritual-Freedom-Podcast-110213633997624"Spiritual Freedom Podcast" on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/spiritualfreedompodcast/ Disclaimers/Copyright: I am a self-development enthusiast but I am not a psychologist/doctor.

Welcome to the March 2023 Spirit Messages. This month's overarching themes are about the law of reciprocity, your interactions and knowledge exchanges, and a lot of spirituality and spiritual growth.    Knowledge exchange came up in the February Spirit Messages, and I've been shifting my perspective on how I engage with my peers and with those who inspire me. I want to be reciprocal in nature to thank them for their time and energy.    If I were to say that this month is to be focused on one thing, it's going be awareness around this exchange and looking at what you need as an exchange to feel filled up again.   As we are heading into spring, the world of Spirit really wants to bring to our attention this sense of renewal that we need to bring into ourselves. We will have some beautiful representations in the natural world around us, with Mother Earth and the abundance that comes with that reciprocity.    It's a very spiritual month. A lot of the things that are coming up are around spirituality. So if you have been feeling disconnected from spirituality or disengaged from your spiritual path, this will be a really exciting month for you to reconnect.

There is the opportunity for us to be recharged and refilled by little nuances that happen every day.  This is going to be a month of expanding our awareness.  We will shift that perspective on 'how can I make this a more reciprocal experience?' The things that can bring us the most joy will be those little moments.  Be the person who looks out and takes in that moment of full presence and gratitude for the experience you're having right now. Reframe anxiety: 'It's like I get to experience these nerves and call them excitement.' Not everything that depletes us will be changeable. Find the law of reciprocity in existing situations and relationships. I don't believe we are meant to live this life without hiccups or depletion. We are coming into a lot of completions when it comes to the end of March - a lot of it is around stories you're telling yourself.  The practice of awareness and of being extremely hyper-present gives us spiritual resolve, and becoming aware of love and joy in your everyday moments will fill you up.  Little practices will help build the spiritual strength you have sought in other places.  Not everything that works for someone will work for you; spirituality, above all else, is not a one size fits all journey.  I need to say this directly from Spirit, 'you are not a burden.' Keeping so many different worries and concerns inside can lead to digestive issues, and it's time to break this cycle.  Release some of what you're carrying and share that load with others; it is helping other people in their karma.  When we are sitting and listening to people, we're not trading wounds. We need to ask the people approaching us, 'do you want me to sit back and listen to you? Or can you inform me when you are looking for my feedback or advice?' We want to get a lot more emotionally intelligent in our exchanges.  There are counsellors out there that will happily listen to you. There will be so many powerful dreams and feeling of the presence of the spirit world. Not everyone has the privilege of rest, but carve out time for it if you do.

Aleksandra Schiffer is the good force behind I Stand With My Pack rescue. But this isn't just another story about someone saving animals, this is the story of someone working to reshape how we see the planet itself and how we need to connect more with it and with each other. From her humble childhood living in war torn countries, Aleksandra has a much different perspective than many other people and she's using that to try and heal the world as we know it. If you're needing a blast of inspiration, look no further than this uplifting voice supporting nature and animals alike.

Land Back, the movement to return the stolen lands of the USA, also known as Turtle Island, to the original Indigenous peoples who inextricably belong to them, has been accelerating for some time now. Indigenous peoples have "lost" roughly 99% of the lands they once inhabited, according to a 2021 data set published in Science. 42% of tribes in historical records have no recognized land base today. Radical imagination is required to forge a new, and also perhaps ancient way out of the injustices and destruction inherent in settler colonialism. As our guest Dr. Cutcha Risling Baldy [http://cutcharislingbaldy.com], Associate Professor and Department Chair of Native American Studies at Cal Poly Humboldt, reminds us, decolonization IS land back. Knowing we live on occupied lands, what are we compelled to actually do or change? What is our personal responsibility to the Indigenous peoples and lands where we have "settled?" The time is ripe for actions over tokenism and superficial gestures. Dr. Cutcha Risling Baldy is the Co-Director of the Cal Poly Humboldt Native American Studies Food Sovereignty Lab & Traditional Ecological Knowledges Institute. Her book: We Are Dancing For You: Native Feminisms and the Revitalization of Women's Coming-of-Age Ceremonies received “Best First Book in Native American and Indigenous Studies,” at the 2019 Native American Indigenous Studies Association Conference. She is also the volunteer Executive Director of the Native Women's Collective [http://www.nativewomenscollective.org/], a nonprofit organization that supports the continued revitalization of Native American arts and culture. She is Hupa, Karuk, and Yurok and is enrolled in the Hoopa Valley Tribe. Carry Kim, Co-Host of EcoJustice Radio.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS IN EGYPT announced the discovery of a copy of the Book of the Dead. This seems fitting, given some of the news of the past week. The papyrus scroll, which measured more than 50 feet long when unrolled, belonged to a man named Ahmose who lived around 300 BC. It features text and images of gods related to the underworld, like Osiris. We also discuss the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine and this week's developments, a call for World War 2-style rationing by academics to save Mother Earth from the plague of humans, and rapidly declining birth rates and sperm counts around the world. Finally, we touch on a new study that found that people with higher cognitive ability are less concerned about political correctness. In other words, the smarter you are, the less likely it is that you're “woke.” Help us to Build Barn Better! This is our project to convert our 1,200 square foot shop building from a place to park our yard tractor into usable studio and warehouse space. In 2023, we plan to fix the holes in the walls, replace windows, insulate the building, install an HVAC system, and move our studios and book/DVD warehouse and shipping office out of our home.

Mother: A Memoir“Pre-word In my mind's eye she is sitting at the circular white Formica-top table in the corner. Morning sunlight fills the kitchen. She has a cup of Milky Nescafé Gold Blend and is smoking a purple Silk Cut. She is dressed for comfort in a floral bronze-and-brown blouse and blue jumper with light gray slacks and blue slippers. She is absorbed in a crossword (The Times) but not oblivious. She does what always takes me aback. She reads out one of the clues. As if I would know the answer. Her gift for crosswords is alien to me. I get stuck at the first ambiguity or double-meaning. Whereas she sweeps through all illusions allusions red herrings and anagrams and is done most days by lunchtime. But her fondness for crossword puzzles is inseparable from my interest in words. Where they come from. What they might be doing. Earliest recorded use of 'In my mind's eye': Shakespeare's Hamlet (around 1599). Referring to the Ghost.My mother died years ago. What has induced me to write about her after all this time remains mysterious to me. It is connected to the climate crisis. As the natural historian David Attenborough says: 'the collapse of our civilizations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon.' In ways I cannot pretend to fathom I have found that writing about my mother is bound up with writing about Mother Nature and Mother Earth. And no doubt it has to do also with my own aging and the buried life of mourning. The strange timetables of realization and loss. A memoir is 'a written record of a person's knowledge of events or of a person's own experiences'. 'A record of events written by a person having intimate knowledge of them and based on personal observation.' So the dictionaries tell us. But this memoir of my mother makes no attempt at a comprehensive record.”Nicholas Royle is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Sussex, England, where he has been based since 1999. He has also taught at the University of Oxford, the University of Tampere, and the University of Stirling; and has been a visiting professor at the universities of Århus, Santiago del Compostela, Turku, Manitoba, and Lille.

Whereas she sweeps through all illusions allusions red herrings and anagrams and is done most days by lunchtime. But her fondness for crossword puzzles is inseparable from my interest in words. Where they come from. What they might be doing. Earliest recorded use of 'In my mind's eye': Shakespeare's Hamlet (around 1599). Referring to the Ghost.My mother died years ago. What has induced me to write about her after all this time remains mysterious to me. It is connected to the climate crisis. As the natural historian David Attenborough says: 'the collapse of our civilizations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon.' In ways I cannot pretend to fathom I have found that writing about my mother is bound up with writing about Mother Nature and Mother Earth. And no doubt it has to do also with my own aging and the buried life of mourning. The strange timetables of realization and loss. A memoir is 'a written record of a person's knowledge of events or of a person's own experiences'. 'A record of events written by a person having intimate knowledge of them and based on personal observation.' So the dictionaries tell us. But this memoir of my mother makes no attempt at a comprehensive record.”Nicholas Royle is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Sussex, England, where he has been based since 1999.

Mother: A Memoir“Pre-word In my mind's eye she is sitting at the circular white Formica-top table in the corner. Morning sunlight fills the kitchen. She has a cup of Milky Nescafé Gold Blend and is smoking a purple Silk Cut. She is dressed for comfort in a floral bronze-and-brown blouse and blue jumper with light gray slacks and blue slippers.
