(Meditationszentrum Beatenberg) Our actions are often driven by unconscious or conflicting intentions. How can we align with wholesome intentions and cultivate wholesome mindstates? Based on the Dvedhāvitakkasutta the talk discusses the importance of renunciation, metta and compassion for the path and the transformation of the heart.

A brief overview of the Eightfold Path. Often described as the "middle way," it offers a way of life that avoids the extremes of self-indulgence and self-denial. The path is a guide to ethical living, mental discipline, and wisdom, and it's divided into three categories: wisdom (Right View and Right Intention), ethical conduct (Right Speech, Right Action, and Right Livelihood), and mental discipline (Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration). Each of these steps is interconnected, supporting the others like spokes in a wheel. Right View, the first step, is foundational. Bhikkhu Bodhi describes it as "the forerunner of the path," because how we perceive and understand the world shapes every decision we make. Right View invites us to see life as it truly is, rather than how we wish it to be. It's about aligning our perspective with reality—a reality that includes impermanence, interconnectedness, and the causes and conditions of suffering. Jack Kornfield puts it beautifully: "The wise heart sees the universal truths of change, suffering, and interdependence. When we see these truths clearly, we respond to life with balance and compassion." Gil Fronsdal once said, "Right View is not just about having correct beliefs; it's about seeing clearly in a way that transforms the heart." This transformation happens when we align our understanding with the Four Noble Truths: that suffering exists, it has a cause, it can end, and there's a path to its cessation. By integrating these truths into our lives, we begin to see challenges not as insurmountable problems but as opportunities for growth and awakening. Tara Brach: "Awakening self-compassion is often the greatest challenge people face on the spiritual path. It's also the most transformative. When we practice seeing clearly with kindness, we open the door to healing and freedom."

In this special episode of The Right Intention, its a celebration of the 88th birthday of Wowza, who is a transformative figure in expressive arts therapy and holistic wellness, who has spent over six decades helping people embrace self-expression and healing.Wowza embodies a spirit of agelessness and vitality, which she attributes to connecting with her "larger self" or "the beloved," an inner source of strength that transcends time and societal expectations.Reflecting on her journey, Wowza shares how she transformed a challenging childhood marked by bullying and isolation into a life of beauty and resilience. Embracing her unique path led her to win Miss Florida and become a runner-up in the Miss America pageant. By the time she reached the Miss America stage, she began to feel the limitations of external validation. When she blanked during a final question, she knew her calling was beyond pageants and moved to New York to pursue acting.In New York, Wowza trained at the Actors Studio under Lee Strasberg, who taught her to embrace every role authentically, integrating light and shadow. This foundation inspired her to create expressive arts therapy, a method allowing people to explore their “social roles” as characters, releasing limiting beliefs and accessing their true essence.Today, Wowza remains a beacon of unity, founding the "Church of Wow" to encourage people to see each other as living art. Her mantra, "wow," reflects wonder without judgment. In relationships, she advocates for balancing masculine and feminine energies, empowering individuals to embody their authentic selves for deeper, harmonious connections.One of her signature practices, “curtain up, curtain down,” helps people briefly embody and release emotions, fostering mindful self-awareness. In her book, The Sacred Actor: Igniting the Performance Art of Living, she invites readers to view life as a divine play, where each role brings meaning within a larger, universal flow. Her "great hum" practice—a simple daily humming—connects people to the vibration of life, grounding them in unity and love.As Todd and Wowza close, they reflect on love as a universal, transformative force. Wowza encourages listeners to embrace every part of themselves, live authentically, and connect with others from the heart. Her journey and wisdom remind us that by living from this larger self, we find freedom and harmony.Connect with Todd Tononi:Follow Todd on Instagram: @ToddTononiSubscribe to The Right Intentions for more thought-provoking conversations and insights into leadership, personal growth, and living with purpose.Connect with Wowza: https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Actor-Igniting-Performance-Living/dp/B0D2P73WJ8 Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to another episode of the Underground Society Podcast. Our guest today, Sara Benyo, might be known for her vocal work with artists like Jessica Audifred or Freaky but there is so much more to her than what's just on the surface or the vocal work that she has done.For starters, Sara has also been djing and producing and is now touring as a solo act playing festivals like Breakaway and EDC! Furthermore, a GIANT part of her brand is spirituality (which of course intrigued us). We are always told as believers to live by the phrase “WWJD” - What would Jesus Do and as you can tell right off of the bat, she writes music to heal people which is mirrored by the life that Jesus lived while he was here on earth. Today she describes how every single decision in her career is all centered around her faith and how she wouldn't be here if it weren't for her gift of music.For her, she claims that no matter if it is about her writing, her spiritual practices, or even her use of certain substances, it all comes down to her intent behind the things she does. In this episode we hope to share with you why intention setting is so important and how it can help you walk more confidently as a believer in the music industry. Thank you so much for tuning in, enjoy the episode!Society Selects (Last Updated 5/7/24)Follow SaraInstagramTwitterSpotifyYouTubeUnderground SocietyInstagramTwitterSpotifyYouTubeWebsite: www.undergroundsocietypodcast.comSupport the Show.

Kris's Address today is on the Buddhist approach to living - The "Eight-fold Path" to Enlightenment, based on the Four Noble Truths:- that suffering is an inevitable part of living- - whose causes can be determined. It's possible to escape suffering and- there is a path - the "eight-fold path" we can follow to  end suffering. The Buddha's practical guide to effective living is as relevant to our living today as it was 2,500 years ago. Kris explains the Eight-fold path: Right View; Right Intention (or Resolve); Right Speech; Right Action; Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness; Right Concentration. The Eight-fold Path is not an ordered sequence of steps to follow - but more like eight spokes of a wheel, each playing their part - in keeping the wheel turning, true! And then there's the role of Meditation. Kris also sets us some homework! - And some challenges!

The Eightfold Path, the fourth of the Four Noble Truths, lays out a map to become free from suffering.    In our last episode, we explore the second fact  on the Right Intention. In this episode, we discuss Right View and how we generally hold views.  After all, if you don't have the right view, if you don't know where you're headed, you'll likely get lost along the way.Support the showGo to our website to leave a comment, buy us a coffee, or see further notes and links: https://digginthedharma.com/

In the spirit of the holiday season, I am re-releasing a popular episode from 2019: The Boundless Heart - Bodhicitta. It is my wish that we all try to practice being a Bodhisattva during this holiday season … Starting with me! ;) Stating the obvious, it's been a rough 7 years or so. Years marked by war, pandemic, social injustice, tribalism and, overall, something called "high conflict" made popular by Amanda Ripley's book of the same name, where conflict is the ruling energy and that leads to the stress, fear, anxiousness, and despair most of us have been feeling. She writes: The challenge of our time is to mobilize great masses of people to make change without dehumanizing one another. Not just because it's morally right but because it works. Lasting change, the kind that seeps into people's hearts, has only ever come about through a combination of pressure and good conflict. Both matter. That's why, over the course of history, nonviolent movements have been more than twice as likely to succeed as violent ones. It with this in mind I offer the replay of this 2019 episode, a reflection on bodhicitta, the good heart—something we can all practice even if we don't participate in nonviolent movements or the "good conflict" Amanda Ripley refers to. I know it's been far too easy for me to react in anger when I'm really just afraid and to dismiss instead of disagreeing, which is a dehumanizing activity. So, in the spirit of holiday peace, good will, and reflection, I will remember the bodhicitta. Bodhicitta characterizes the path of a Mahayana practitioner. It is Bodhicitta that creates a Bodhisattva and it is Bodhicitta that ultimately creates a Buddha. In Tibetan, compassion is translated as the nobility or greatness of heart which implies wisdom, discernment, empathy, unselfishness, and abundant kindness. Bodhicitta is compassion working with a mind awakened by right view. It is the joining of compassion and emptiness. We'll examine how to use the Four Bodhisattva Vows to supercharge Right Intention with Right View and discover the same spacious freedom of a flower that blooms despite its circumstances.
