Podcasts about right effort

Advice culture is filled with memorable instructions: do the hard thing, get comfortable being uncomfortable, follow your passion, try your hardest, live a life of service, and remember: no pain, no gain.Each phrase carries potential wisdom. Each one also carries assumptions about the body, nervous system, health, capacity, and circumstances of the person receiving it.In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley continues the From Mask to Map series by exploring the neurodivergent nuance of advice culture and asking a vital question:*Is this resistance, or is this a warning signal?*Through the metaphor of the moulting lobster, personal stories of chronic over-functioning, and examples drawn from fitness, creativity, service, work, and personal growth, Ashley explores how motivational advice can support courage in one context and encourage self-override in another.This episode considers:* how healthy discomfort can build confidence and capacity* why agency and choice matter when stretching a comfort zone* the risks of interpreting “no pain, no gain” too literally* why maximum effort is rarely the same as wise effort* how following your passion can become another form of over-functioning* the Buddhist principle of Right Effort* how Aware, Allow, Align can help you translate advice through the reality of your own nervous systemThe episode closes with *Breathing the Inner Map*, a gentle imaginal breathing journey inspired by the work of yoga nidra teacher Ally Boothroyd. The practice uses breath, sensation, imagery, and awareness to deepen your connection with the body's subtle language and strengthen your capacity for discernment.Because advice becomes wisdom when it is placed in relationship with reality.Find Ashley's longer meditations, Yoga Nidras, nervous system practices, and Bedtime Alchemy stories on Insight Timer by searching *Ashley Dupuy*.To register your interest in Ashley's September group coaching cohort, email *[integrativeiom@gmail.com](mailto:integrativeiom@gmail.com)*Our Sponsors:

in this episode Andrew dives into an essential aspect of the Buddha's path to awakening, The 4 Great Efforts. Early in his life, the Buddha discovered that he can categorize his mental states into two baskets: wholesome and unwholesome. he saw that wholesome mind states led to his welfare and happiness and the welfare and happiness of others, and he became resolute to prevent and abandon the type of mind states that led to his suffering and the suffering of those around him. Here's a look at how to do it. Enjoy!  Last day to register for the WHMC retreat is TODAY!

“Right Effort - Samma Vayama” was a teaching given by Ajahn Brahm at Bodhinyana Monastery on the 7th February 2001.

Forrest is joined by author, meditator, and friend Diego Perez, also known as Yung Pueblo, for a conversation about right effort, the balance between pushing through and letting go, and the death of nuance in the age of social media.  They start with Diego's experience on his recent 60-day silent meditation retreat, and what that kind of practice teaches about craving, attachment, and getting unstuck from old roles. Diego frames right effort as the middle path between forcing your life and going with the flow, and that tension leads into a conversation about social media, including the appeal of reductive advice and being told what to do. Diego closes with what he'd recommend for someone who wants some of the rewards of practice without committing to a long retreat. Key Topics:  0:00: Intro 2:02: Diego's 60-day silent retreat 8:17: Right Effort: balancing pursuit with letting go 15:49: Attachment, craving, and suffering 19:25: Diego's journey to the sensitive boy's club 25:19: Resistance: a sign that something is wrong or that we should push harder? 31:07: How to stop outsourcing your decisions & find guidance within  42:41: The limitations of labels and therapy-speak 52:26: Practices for those who aren't serious meditators 55:39: Recap Support the Podcast: We're on Patreon!

This week's theme is Right Effort — Not Getting Anything, Not Causing Harm.We'll touch on the simple but challenging guidelines of do no harm, do all good, and how our actions through body, speech, and mind shape our experience and those around us. Right Effort Young Urban Zen

(Sumedharama Monastery)

Teisho by Sensei Dhara Kowal.  Automated Transcript The post Right Effort, Right Patience appeared first on Rochester Zen Center.

This talk explores Right Effort as one of the most misunderstood elements of the Eightfold Path—revealing how much of our suffering comes not from a lack of effort, but from pushing, striving, and forcing ourselves in ways that create inner violence. Drawing on classical Buddhist teachings and everyday experience, the talk reframes effort as a form of care rather than willpower, inviting a wiser relationship to energy, discipline, and motivation in meditation and daily life.   You'll learn how to recognize when effort has tipped into strain, how to stop feeding unhelpful mental patterns, and how to cultivate wholesome qualities without burnout or self-judgment. The talk offers practical guidance for sustaining practice with steadiness and ease, helping you apply energy in ways that support clarity, compassion, and long-term resilience—on and off the cushion.

In this episode, I explore the concept of skillful effort, also known as right effort, which is the sixth aspect of the Eightfold Path. I explain that skillful effort isn't about "trying harder" but rather about applying energy wisely, much like a gardener tends to their plants. This involves four key tasks: preventing unskillful states from arising, abandoning those that have already arisen, cultivating skillful states that haven't yet appeared, and maintaining the skillful states that are present. I offer practical examples, such as building a "fence" by avoiding triggers like social media first thing in the morning, "weeding" by noticing and withdrawing attention from unskillful thoughts like anger after being cut off in traffic, "planting seeds" by intentionally practicing gratitude or kindness, and "tending the garden" through consistent, balanced effort. The core takeaway is that by understanding and applying these principles, we can foster genuine organic growth in our minds and lives, leading to greater clarity and well-being.Explore more at eightfoldpath.com: full transcripts, guided meditations, courses, and Noah AI, an AI you can chat with about any episode or teaching.

During this talk, Allie Vaknin continues reviewing the Paramis, a grouping of mind conditioning functions that, when developed to full potential, cooperatively liberate the mind from distress and confusion.  Energy is described as the driver of Right Effort in the mind and body, and must be freed up from attachment to unwholesome views to be purified.

Ch. 5 - Right Effort from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner TOWARD THE END OF the first week of the course, Hover introduced a new schedule for vipassana meditation which he had been shown on his recent trip to Burma. It consisted of six hour-long sittings each day in which the resolve was made not to move at all: two in the morning, three in the afternoon, and one at night after his discourse, plus some hours in the early morning and after tea. It didn't take long for this regimen to produce some very deep pain. Shortly after we began it, a rock-hard knot about the size of a grapefruit surfaced in my neck. It grew in intensity during each hour-long sitting until I could no longer hold my attention on any other part of my body. When I focused right on the pain, my body would be gripped by enormous tension and the knot would suddenly disappear. This thrilled me the first time, but it soon became clear that it only meant that the knot would be back the next hour, stiffer, larger, and more difficult to deal with. by Eric Lerner 2025 24 minutes 40 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.
