Exporsure and Relinquishment

Where we often expect and even demand our way, Jesus demonstrates a different way: setting aside his will and trusting God's will.

Episode 45 – Feline House Soiling – What You Need To Know!   This is a topic we are SO passionate about. In a study by Salman et. al. (see below), 28% of cats who were relinquished to shelters were relinquished for behavioural reasons, and of those 28%, 43% were relinquished for house soiling. While this is a distressing situation for cats and caregivers alike, we actually have a really good chance of successfully treating these cases, as long as we take the path to getting to the correct diagnosis. In this episode, Dr Katrin gives you her approach to categorizing the different causes of feline house soiling and how we can differentiate between the different presentations to find the correct diagnosis and treatment plan.   In this episode you will learn: 1.      The normal stages of kitten development and elimination 2.      Possible physical health contributions to Feline House Soiling 3.      How to differentiate between Urine Marking and Elimination presentations 4.      Where FIC (Feline Idiopathic Cystitis) fits into the puzzle 5.      Why addressing stress is vital in all cases of Feline House Soiling   Here are the resources Dr Katrin mentions in this episode: 1.      Salman, M. D., Hutchison, J., Ruch-Gallie, R., Kogan, L., New, J. C., Kass, P. H., & Scarlett, J. M. (2000). Behavioral Reasons for Relinquishment of Dogs and Cats to 12 Shelters.

This week we are joined by the wonderful Craig and Dan from @Craigshomelife on instagram to relive their adoption story. We discuss their recent wedding, relinquishment, and how they became a family. Links discussed in the episode: Relinquished Children (proceduresonline.com) guide_relat_ch_relinq_adopt.pdf (proceduresonline.com)guidance-ace-practice-guidance-relinquished-babies-final.pdf (proceduresonline.com)The book that is mentioned is Our Adoption Story by Jayne LilleySupport the show

5th verse: “The three virtues of Yajna, dana and tapah should not be given up. These three virtues become natural to the enlightened and become the means to those aspiring to be enlightened.”6th verse: “Yajna, dana and tapah should be performed giving up our attachment to the results and our selfish desire to enjoy the results of the work.”Yajna refers to any noble, unselfish deed that is done with a sense of sanctity and sacredness, for the good of others, and as an offering to God. Dana refers to any act of compassion, kindness and charity meant to help others. Tapah means austerity, activities that we do with the mind and senses focused on a single purpose.The panchamahayajna should be performed by everyone. These five yajnas are:Brahma Yajna – We perform this yajna when we discuss great ideas and spread the noble idea of spiritual universalism. This is the way we pay back to ancient sages.Pitri Yajna – We perform this yajna when we do rituals to preserve the sacred memory of our ancestors. When we are grateful to our ancestors, we will be able to transmit their values to the next generation. This is the way we pay back to our ancestors.Deva yajna – We perform this yajna when we preserve the memory of divine beings (devas).Bhuta yajna – We perform this yajna when we take care of other living beings (such as animals), nature and earth. We should look upon ourselves as guests of earth, not masters of earth. We should be kind and compassionate to other beings.Nara Yajna - We perform this yajna when we show hospitality to fellow human beings.The panchamahayajna should be practiced by everyone. They are natural to the enlightened. For others, it is a means to get enlightenment.The 4th, 7th, 8th, and 9th verses describe the three forms of tyagas. Of these three, only one is ideal (verse 9) – the other two are not desirable.4th verse: “Relinquishment is of three types – sattvik, rajasik and tamasik.”The 8th verse describes the worst form of tyaga, which is rajasik. “There are a set of people who find work difficult or painful. They provide false justifications for not taking up the tasks that they are expected to do. Then they boast in front of others that they have relinquished.”The 7th verse explains tamasik tyaga. “Those who give up because they are under the wrong notion, who imagine that they can live in peace and meditative mood by running away from their duties and obligations, their relinquishment is tamasik.”The 9th verse describes the ideal way of tyaga. “Those who do not give up work, who perform the actions enjoined by the scriptures, but who mentally renounce the fruits of the work, their tyaga is sattvik.”Our focus should not be on karma-tyaga. Instead, it should be on karma-phala-tyaga. We do not give up work; we transcend work.Giving up work is easy – a lazy person can do it. It is more difficult to do all our duties with full efficiency but without any selfish desire and attachment to the results. Selfish attachment is the most difficult to renounce. Mystics and great spiritual men were always active but had no selfish attachment to results.We can never run away from our core duties and responsibilities. They will follow us. Even if we are physically lazy, the mind will not stay inactive. In fact, people may feel more tired sitting quiet. The best way is to change our perspective towards work, as a sattvik person does. Then work won't bother us.There is an earlier verse in the Gita which compares two brothers. Both work with equal efficiency and are successful. However, one is not attached to success while the other is attached. The former practices the ideal of renunciation and is contented. The other sways between happiness and unhappiness.When we carry a heavy weight on our head, we feel it. However, if a one-millimeter gap is created between the head and the weight, we do not feel it at all. When we are detached from results of actions, it is like creating the one-millimeter gap.10th verse: “A spiritual person endowed with sattva guna is even minded in all forms of action as he has renounced selfish attachment to results. He is free from doubts. He does not blame or praise any form of work, irrespective of whether it leads to temporary happiness or not.”If we do not practice detachment, we may get temporary happiness but not contentment or everlasting happiness. The happiness that we normally experience is only a temporary absence of unhappiness. They are two sides of the same coin. To get to contentment, we have to stop the pursuit of temporary happiness and detach ourselves from the results of action.11th verse: “It is impossible for anyone with body consciousness to remain in total inaction at mental and physical level. One should renounce the fruits of action. He should transcend action by being active at the physical and mental level but identifying with the Atman, knowing that the body and senses are in the hands of a higher power.”In spiritual life, there is a gradual ascent towards transcending action. If someone is lazy, the first stage is to become active with selfish desires. In the next stage, the person can mentally offer the results to God or for the welfare of humanity. This has a healing effect on his mind.The 18th verse of the 4th chapter says: “One who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, is a Yogi.” He is (1) Buddhiman – wise person, who understands Swadharma (2) Yuktaha – a Yogi (3) Krtsna-Karmakrt – does everything with a smile, unattached.If one identifies himself with Atman, he can remain as if he is inactive, seeing inaction in action. He identifies himself beyond action and inaction.What does action in inaction mean? Inaction in Gita implies withdrawal from action. There is no action for Atman, so there is nothing to withdraw from. One cannot withdraw from action, unless there is action.12th verse: “For those who have not renounced the results of action, they experience results that are threefold: sometimes agreeable, sometimes disagreeable, and sometimes mixed. Those who have renounced the fruits of action, experience no effect on their mental system from their actions.”Every action leaves a residual effect (vritti) in our mental system. Many identical vrittis – from similar, repeated actions – solidify a distinct memory block called Samskara. These Samskaras form our character and determine further actions. The existing storehouse of negative samskaras can be nullified with a new storehouse of positive samskaras. Positive samskaras are generated by doing unselfish, noble activities, reading of scriptures and through holy associations.When we practice attachment towards a higher goal, it helps us practice non-attachment towards the results of our day-to-day actions.

Title: Yajna, Dana and Tapah Should Not be Given Up18th Chapter: verse 3, 4, 5, 6, 73rd verse: “According to Samkhya philosophy, all actions should be given up. According to Mimamsa philosophy, performance of Yajna, dana and tapah should not be given up.”According to Kapila and Samkhya philosophy, every action is mixed with some imperfection and, therefore, it should be given up. Mimamsa philosophy upholds the views of the vedas and says that Yajna, dana and tapah – activities which serve the good of others – should not be given up.Yajna refers to any noble, unselfish deed that is done with a sense of sanctity and sacredness, for the good of others, and as an offering to God. Dana refers to any act of compassion, kindness and charity meant to help others. Tapah means austerity, activities that we do with the mind and senses focused on a single purpose.The 4th verse is a response from Lord Krishna to a request that Arjuna makes in the 7th verse of the 2nd chapter. There Arjuna expresses his helplessness and asks Lord Krishna to tell him what he should do. He surrenders himself to the will of the Lord (prapannam).If a glass is half full of water and we pour milk in it, it will only have 50% milk. However, if we empty the glass and then pour milk, it will have 100% milk. Similarly, when we empty our mind and surrender to God, the mind can then be filled with the pure milk of God's grace.Those who have completely surrendered to God or who have reached the highest spiritual enlightenment, they live in constant communion with God and do not have to worry about dos and don'ts. It is impossible for them to do anything wrong. They are like a pencil which does not assert its independence and only operates as a tool in the master's hands.Those who have not reached the highest level have to be reminded of moral values such as truthfulness, non-stealing, practicing unselfishness, and so on. According to Shankaracharya, whenever scriptures describe characteristics of an enlightened person, these characteristics constitute the road by which we should travel to reach the goal that the enlightened person has reached.5th verse: “The three virtues of Yajna, dana and tapah should not be given up. These three virtues become natural to the enlightened and become the means to those aspiring to be enlightened.”The panchamahayajna should be performed by everyone. These five yajnas are:Brahma Yajna – We perform this yajna when we discuss great ideas and spread the noble idea of spiritual universalism. This is the way we pay back to ancient sages.Pitri Yajna – We perform this yajna when we do rituals to preserve the sacred memory of our ancestors. When we are grateful to our ancestors, we will be able to transmit their values to the next generation. This is the way we pay back to our ancestors.Deva yajna – We perform this yajna when we preserve the memory of divine beings (devas).Bhuta yajna – We perform this yajna when we take care of other living beings (such as animals), nature and earth. We should look upon ourselves as guests of earth, not masters of earth. We should be kind and compassionate to other beings.Nara Yajna - We perform this yajna when we show hospitality to fellow human beings.The panchamahayajna should be practiced by everyone. They are natural to the enlightened. For others, it is a means to get enlightenment.In the Vishnu Purana, there is a verse, which says: “Those who give up their own Swakarma and Swadharma, who do not take care of their parents and elders, who are cruel to other beings, who treat ancient tradition with a sense of indifference, who break the principles of panchamahayajna, such people are fools as their prayers won't be taken seriously by God.”6th verse: “Yajna, dana and tapah should be performed giving up our attachment to the results and our selfish desire to enjoy the results of the work.”Those who cannot practice total detachment, they should start by performing these activities with attachment. Slowly, they will evolve to naturally be good human beings and will be able to perform these activities without selfish motives.4th and 7th verse: “4th verse: Relinquishment is of three types – sattvik, rajasik and tamasik.” The 7th verse explains tamasik relinquishment. “Those who imagine that they can live in peace and meditative mood by running away from their duties and obligations, they are deluded. Their relinquishment is tamasik.”We can never run away from our core duties and responsibilities. They will follow us. Even if we are physically lazy, the mind will not stay inactive. In fact, people may feel more tired sitting quiet. The best way is to change our perspective towards work, as a sattvik person does. Then work won't bother us.

Do you believe that you're enough? Do you  believe you are loveable? Do you believe you are loved? Relinquishment sets in motion all sorts of beliefs about ourselves. Listen in as Carrie explores debunking beliefs to get to the truth.Here'a a bit about Carrie from her website:"I was adopted from Sanshui in Guangdong Province at nine years old. From surviving as a child in China and being raised in San Francisco, CA, my childhood has profoundly shaped my perspectives as an adult and visual artist. It has also deepened my visual sensitivity as a designer with compassion and empathy. My professional background ranges from print production, graphic design, and project management in both corporate and freelance settings.Carrie is Creative Director and  a Board Member of CCI  - a community where adoptees can finally drive their own narratives and support one another's complex journeys. I envision CCI to grow into an influential platform for all adoptees to find connections, support, and be heard, and ultimately to be proud of our identity. As part of the UX Team, my objective is to design an accessible platform for all adoptees that seek camaraderie and affirmation."www.carriedoung.comwww.instagram.com/carriedesigns628www.chinaschildreninternational.orgwww.instagram.com/cci_adoptees

What are you afraid to feel? Fear? Sadness? Anger? Whatever it is, adoptee coach Susan Stam (강선영) wants you to stay with it. And then stay with it a little longer. Adopted from Korea at the age of 4 years and 7 months to the Netherlands, Susan works as a coach specialising in relinquishment and adoption-related issues with AFC (Adoptee and Foster Care) Netherlands, founded by Hilbrand Westra (our Episode 17 guest!). But the path to becoming a coach wasn't easy; Susan struggled with her own issues, including a hypersensitivity to rejection so strong that she could "smell it", relationship addiction, and insomnia - issues that only started to heal after she became conscious of her relinquishment and adoption trauma. In this conversation, Susan talks about her own journey and then shares some strategies for when we feel triggered, for getting out of our heads and into our bodies, for learning to connect to our feelings rather than numbing or pushing them away, and for setting boundaries when you're a self-confessed people pleaser. And then, Susan catches us off guard by turning the questions back on us, and we both get real about some shit! Get ready for vulnerability, feels, and some super practical tips that we hope you will find useful!

Peace! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5E6WCP8KAS4NG This new series of episodes on Cosmic Dancer podcast channel, aims to disseminate the theoretical teachings of Vedanta philosophy, (dating back nearly 7,000 years), through the practical experiences of daily life. This is through the involvement of guests from the world of music, art, literature, science, etc... Vedanta is not a religion. Vedanta is a philosophy, the Mother of all world philosophies and religions. The Bhagavad Gita is the most representative text of Vedanta, one of the most widely read books ever. We celebrate the teachings of the eminent philosopher Swami Parthasarathy (he is 96 years old) who founded the organization Vedanta Global, and who has authored numerous best sellers including Vedanta Treatise - The Eternities and the invaluable commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. The new episode of the Cosmic Dancer podcast involved the Vedanta teacher Jayashankar Krishnamurthy, Director of the Vedanta Institute of Hyderabad in India. He attended the Vedanta Academy founded by the eminent Vedanta philosopher Swami Parthasarathy. We talked about Sannyasa and Tyaga, concepts faced in the eighteenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. The chapter defines sannyasa renunciation and tyaga relinquishment. Jayashankar also suggested how to manage Vedanta philosophy to face this complicated we're living in, being fearless in taking part to new work experiences. He mentioned Digital Nomads, too. - Join my Facebook Group Meditation Mindfulness Yoga Mantra www.facebook.com/groups/642191676459430 - Here my short stories about Kindness (I giorni della gentilezza- Paperback - Italian version)- tinyurl.com/3vfud2c9 - Here my book Learn Māori Culture and Proverbs (paperback) tinyurl.com/6zmvz9tt - Version with Full Color Images - www.amazon.com/Learn-M%C4%81ori-…1621334435&sr=8-3 - Poster Maramataka: tinyurl.com/pht4easb - Here my book dedicated to Lo-Fi Music (ebook and paperback), tinyurl.com/r2d69dyb - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries. - Here my book with illustrated philosophical short stories (ebook and paperback), tinyurl.com/rpcd5c - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries. - Here my book Black Book Note www.amazon.com/BLACK-BOOK-NOTE-i…32&s=books&sr=1-1 - Here my journal dedicated to the great italian poet Dante Alighieri tinyurl.com/42rt7jjh. - E-book and Video on www.lofimusic.it. - Here my fashion brand dedicated to Spirituality, www.mantratshirt.it.

A viral news story involving a Maine veterinary clinic and relinquishment of a pet whose owner couldn't afford treatment has been widely circulating on social media. This week we address many of our concerns from sloppy reporting to missed media opportunities to the practice of pet relinquishment. Our full support and hearts go out to the entire veterinary team involved with this challenging case, and hope this conversation will help others facing similar situations. Viewfinders, there's a lot to discuss on this tough topic. Hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT review the recent case involving the Maine Veterinary Medical Center and a client who relinquished her pet because she couldn't afford the $10,000 fee. Dr. Ward begins by examining tactics to handle media inquiries involving disgruntled clients. Beckie Mossor, RVT shares her own experiences and why the art of compromise is essential in dealing with these cases, especially in an emergency setting. Dr. Ward reviews his opinion on financial relinquishment and confiscation of pets. He also encourages clinics to role-play these scenarios and create plans to help when confronting financial constraints. Viewfinders, while our hearts are broken for all involved in this case, we urge our colleagues not to resort to online client-bashing and hurtful rhetoric. It can be challenging to practice radical empathy and compassion, but we hope you can remain respectful and professional when posting your thoughts. There are many lessons we can learn from these tragedies. We encourage you to check out Dr. Ward's piece on a couple of similar situations.

Adoption advocate and expert Steve Sunday joins Courtney and Carley and sheds light on the heroic yet heartbreaking decision a birth mother makes to lovingly place her child for adoption. Steve explains basic adoption terminology and statistics, the role between birth parents and adoptive parents and the tender yet painful process of relinquishing rights. Beautiful and personal experiences about adoption are shared in this episode all about finding peace and ethical practices within the adoption arena. This is the second episode in a 5-part series on Motherhood, airing May 2022.    Call to Action:  Learn about adoption and be a voice for adoption as an option within your sphere of influence. (Example: share this podcast episode by copying and pasting the following link with your thoughts about the episode. https://heysisterpodcast.org/29-birth-mothers-adoption-steve-sunday/) “The biggest challenge that we have is really promoting adoption as an option. It doesn't mean it's the only option, actually, it's the one that's least considered! Learn as much as you can about adoption. There's so much negative about everything out there, including adoption. …It's really important to counter those voices and say, not all experiences are bad. There are a lot of very wonderful experiences when it's done correctly. And so I would challenge your audience to learn as much as they can, and then be a resource to potential people who may be in that situation and need resources, because most do not hear about the option of adoption and we're hoping that they will! And they have the opportunity, the agency, to choose the course that they would choose in their life, but the best thing we can do is give them the option to hear about it.” - Steve Sunday, CEO/President and Founder of Forever Bound Adoption   Referenced Information:  National Council for Adoption (Organization that supports ethical practices for adoption)   Referenced Links: Connect with Steve Sunday, Founder/CEO of Forever Bound Adoption Forever Bound Adoption Website Forever Bound Adoption Facebook Email Steve    Connect with Hey, Sister!

I am learning and growing to understand all the layers of the adoption experience from an adult adoptee's perspective. I am entirely open to learning and growing in my experience, my story, and the stories of my fellow adoptees, intercountry adoptees, and/or multiracial adoptees. Recently, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine who is an intercountry adoptee, and the conversation was striking to me. She shared a piece with me I had never thought about before, and with this, I learned something very significant that I feel we should all understand, so I felt the need to share it in this article.

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast. In this session, we examine the Khattiya Sutta (AN 6.52) in order to further UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE WORLDLY PATH AND THE BUDDHA'S NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH. In most of our recent insight pathway meditations, we take up the Buddha's wholesome determinations, for Truth, Relinquishment, Wisdom and Calm, to overcome the worldly ones we have been taught or conditioned to have, as well as being deluded by. The Khattiya Sutta (AN 6.52) is very useful in showing us where worldly objectives and inclinations differ from those of the spiritual path. Why one goes "with the stream" and another goes "against the stream". It can help us understand why the Buddha encourages us in certain ways, and to know there are challenges when we attempt to reconcile lay life and spiritual practice. In this session we: — examine Jānussoni's questions to the Buddha on the wishes, quest, determination, inclination and final goal of different groups of people in the world. — define some of the terms to helps us understand the Buddha's meanings in this teaching — use the teaching as a means to understand some of the challenges for lay people walking the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path, in contrast to those who ordain — link this teaching with our recent meditations on Painful Practice with Slow Realisation, the Profitable Path (Cunda Sutta), and Halidakkani Sutta. — look into the Buddha's definition of a samana — end our session with some instructions for a powerful meditation that goes into wrong view vs right view relating back to supramundane right livelihood Some of the suttas covered directly or indirectly in this session: — Dhātuvibhaṅga Sutta (MN 140) — Asubha Sutta (AN 4.163) — Cunda Sutta (Ud 8.5 — Hāliddikāni Sutta (SN 22.3) — MahāAssapura Sutta (MN 39) — Anusota Sutta (AN 4.5) An electronic copy of the "Table with the Buddha's answers to the questions for each group of people" and a "Summary of the Four Determinations" has been posted (and pinned) to the Sutta Meditation Series Telegram channel. Bohoma pin to the people who have asked questions on this Dhamma topic.

Ajahn Dhammasiha offers reflections on the theme of: "Vivekanissitaṃ, Virāganissitaṃ, Nirodhanissitaṃ, Vossaggapariṇāmiṃ" ("Founded on Solitude, Fading Away, and Ending, and culminating in Relinquishment").

Did you know water rights can be lost, also known as forfeited or relinquished, wholly or in part for non-use and or misuse?  It's a true story and quite possibly the most important thing you want to know and understand as a water right holder or someone interested in buying property with water rights.  Join Dan Haller with Aspect Consulting as he breaks down “use it or lose it,” a fundamental tenet of Western water law, including why it exists and what you need to know and do to protect your water rights and future assets. Please note, while this discussion is focussed on Washington, the “relinquishment clock” and exemptions vary from state to state and even basin to basin in some cases.  To better understand your local laws, policies, and regulations, we highly recommend working with a water right professional in your state. [01:00] - About Dan Haller[04:16] - What is water right relinquishment — "use it or lose it"[07:04] - How water rights can become relinquished [09:10]- Exemptions to relinquishment in Washington[13:58] - Two key things you should know and do to protect your water rights from relinquishment[16:21] - Multiple lines of evidence and important records to keep[19:18] - Buyer due diligence[19:50] - Two common reasons water rights are relinquished and how to avoid it[25:26] - Making changes to this fundamental principle of Western water law[28:06] - Two key things to rememberFULL SHOW NOTEShttps://westernwatermarket.com/podcast-episode/05RESOURCESDepartment of Ecology form: Donation of a Water Right to the State Trust Water Right ProgramDepartment of Ecology fact sheet: Water Right Relinquishment (including 22 exemptions)Department of Ecology water rights searchWashington Trust Water Rights ProgramConfidential Water Right AssessmentsLET'S CONNECTDan Haller on Western Water MarketDan Haller on LinkedInDan Haller's direct contact info: dhaller@aspectconsulting.com | (509) 895-5462Kristina Ribellia on LinkedInWestern Water Market on LinkedInWestern Water Market on FacebookWestern Water Market on YouTube
