This week guest host Leah Shaver, President & CEO of The National Transportation Institute, chats with Josh Hankins, senior vice president of safety, security, and driver personnel at J.B. Hunt. Josh is one of the leaders behind the innovation and implementation of technologies and programs at one of the most forward-looking companies in America. As he puts it: One of the core elements of accomplishing the large change management projects he helps oversee and steer is listening — listening to those across the organization, but especially to drivers, as he seeks a deep understanding of their experience with ongoing communication and engagement, as well as jumping in-cab and seeing firsthand how their jobs are shaped by the changes he and his team implement. To celebrate drivers and their families, J.B. Hunt collaborated with Carol Ekster to create a special edition of the children's book TRUCKER KID.

In dieser Folge tauchen wir tief in die alte Weisheit des Umgangs mit Ärger ein. Ärger ist mehr als nur eine Emotion – er ist ein archaisches Überlebenssystem, das uns seit Millionen von Jahren begleitet. Doch wie können wir diese rohe Energie, die häufig destruktiv wirkt, in etwas Konstruktives, ja sogar Klarheit, verwandeln? Wir erkunden gemeinsam drei einfache, aber transformative Schritte: Körper spüren: Durch den Fersensitz (japanischer Seiza) richten wir unsere Aufmerksamkeit auf die physische Dimension des Ärgers und schaffen die Basis für Veränderung. Be Water, my Friend: Mit der Kraft des Wassers lernen wir, Spannungen aufzulösen und Gegensätze zu harmonisieren. Mantra & Transformation: Mit dem Mantra des blauen Buddhas – Om Akshobhya Hum – verbinden wir die Energie des Ärgers mit brillanter Klarheit, um sie kreativ und weise einzusetzen. Willst du deine innere Kraft aktivieren? Schaue gerne in den neuen Kurs: In der Mitte liegt die Kraft auf mastermeditation.com

EPISODE 56: REFLECTING ON SUCCESS AND A SMALL CHAT WITH REVEREND MIKI NAKURA I've had the pleasure of training in seiza meditation (quiet sitting) with Reverend Miki Nakura of Higashi Hongan-ji temple in Kyoto and the Jodo-Shinshu Shin-Buddhist New York Sangha. He demonstrates seiza but also explains the importance of hara in achieving emptiness and the meaning of Amida Buddha, which is very linked to the second Reiki symbol. Taught by Okada sensei over 100 years ago, Seiza meditation is a universal method of sitting and breathing quietly to experience a peaceful and present-focused life. We sit in a chair or on a floor cushion while maintaining proper posture, breathing, and putting full strength into the lower belly. Seiza helps the mind and body to become stable and calm. Nakura sensei offers virtual practices on Zoom and in-person sittings in New York City. He also travels the world teaching Seiza and has visited countries like England, France, Brazil, and Colombia in the last few months.You can see his full demonstration of seiza meditation hereYou can reach out to him at mikinakura87@gmail.com and access his handout about seiza meditation with step-by-step instructions on this link. And read more about his journey here.Nathalie Jaspar, the founder of Dive Into Reiki, is a Reiki master with over a decade of experience. She's a graduate teacher from the International House of Reiki, led by world-renowned Reiki master Frans Stiene. She also trained with the Center for True Health and the International Center for Reiki.

Comment dénicher ces candidats qui ne sont pas sur Linkedin ? C'est la grande question à laquelle répond Camille de Seiza dans notre dernier podcast. Découvrez cette technologie d'automatisation du recrutement, conçue spécialement pour sourcer des profils de métiers terrains sur les réseaux sociaux (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, etc.) Entrepreneur dans l'âme, Camille a d'abord créé une app de prompteur pour le premier iPhone (sur iOs 3.0). Fort d'une expérience chez Google puis dans un cabinet de conseil, il rejoint Seiza pour faciliter la mise en relation des entreprises avec des profils non-cadres, absents de LinkedIn. Plongez dans les coulisses de Seiza à travers ce podcast et découvrez notamment : • Leur mode de fonctionnement, de l'élaboration du brief client à la présentation des candidats sélectionnés • La recherche d'un équilibre parfait entre la collecte des données essentielles et le risque de voir les candidats abandonner. • L'approche du sans CV, une approche basée sur des questions qualifiantes, plus pertinentes qu'un CV classique selon eux • L'influence d'une stratégie hautement digitale sur l'expérience candidat • Le rôle crucial de l'IA conversationnelle dans leur modèle d'affaires • Une culture d'entreprise qui valorise la performance, les métriques pertinentes et la confiance. Pour finir, Camille nous partage son credo face à l'IA et un conseil très pertinent pour aujourd'hui et demain : "observer, nourrir sa curiosité, et tester, tester, tester - tout en s'amusant !" Un grand merci à Camille pour cet échange.

In this episode, I interview Rev. Miki Nakura, a Jodo Shinshu minister in New York City. Rev. Nakura holds monthly Seiza (silent sitting) meditations for the Study Center over Zoom. Later this year (hopefully) he will once again have in-person meditation at our Study Center. I think you will enjoy this podcast with Rev. Miki Nakura. He openly talks about his path to becoming a Shin minister.
Sitting meditation can be painful for a lot of people. Jundo and Kirk discuss how to sit without pain, or how to accept the pain when sitting.

I would like to criticize some Soto Zen Teachers for how we may be teaching Shikantaza (I know that all the Soto Teachers fully understand what I say. My point is merely whether we are conveying the message clearly enough). Yes, we teach the importance of sitting in a balanced way, be it in Lotus, Seiza, on a chair or the like. We may show students how to place the mind on the breath, the Hara, how to "return to the posture" or sit boundlessly or some other way. We may tell folks about "opening the hand of thought", letting thoughts and emotions go without getting caught in them. Yes, we emphasize that our way is "Goalless" sitting, or "good for nothing", and that one should leave at the door thoughts of "gaining enlightenment" or some extra-ordinary state ... ... but do we emphasize enough how Extra-Ordinary (beyond all small human weighing of "ordinary or extra-ordinary") Sitting Zazen Truly is? Are we too focused on the mechanics of sitting (as important as such is), and not on the Wondrous Embodiment of Buddha which sitting manifests? Do we teach that a moment of Zazen is Buddha Realized, All Fulfilled, Holy-Wholey-Whole that completes and allows all of life? Are we afraid of sounding too starry eyed about Zazen? Do we point students sufficiently to the Timelessness of sitting for a time, that Zazen is the One and Only Place to Be in that Moment of Sitting, holding all the Sutras? Do we teach that Zazen is a Sacred Complete Act? A Moment of Sitting As Enlightened Sitting, Gainless-Enlightenment-Gained? Perhaps we are too focused on presenting Zazen as "just sitting" without getting to the heart of sitting as "Just All Reality, Every Mountain and Stone, All the Buddhas and Ancestors Sitting This Sitting"? Master Dogen, when writing of Zazen, would remind us (this from Zanma-O-Zanmai. It makes my words seem quite understated!): Now crossing the legs of the human skin, flesh, bones, and marrow, one crosses the legs of the king of samādhis samādhi. The World Honored One always maintains sitting with legs crossed; and to the disciples he correctly transmits sitting with legs crossed; and to the humans and gods he teaches sitting with legs crossed. The mind seal correctly transmitted by the seven buddhas is this. The Buddha Śākyamuni, sitting with legs crossed under the bodhi tree, passed fifty small kalpas, passed sixty kalpas, passed countless kalpas. Sitting with legs crossed for twenty-one days, sitting cross-legged for one time — this is turning the wheel of the wondrous dharma; this is the buddha’s proselytizing of a lifetime. There is nothing lacking. This is the yellow roll and vermillion roller [that hold all the Sutras and Commentaries]. The buddha seeing the buddha is this time. This is precisely the time when beings attain buddhahood. He pulls no punches. And now turning from Teachers to Students, I wag my finger a bit more. So many (most?) who try Shikantaza for a time do not truly understand what it means to be wholly still, to not need to run after the next diversion or teaching or practice or book or entertainment. Or, they misunderstand our "goalless" sitting as some kind of complacency. My biggest "complaint" about folks? Most find it so hard to drop the "running here and there, chasing this and that" in life and "Just Sit" in Wholeness, "Just Sit" Buddha. Most are so used to looking for the answers "somewhere over the next hill" that they can't stop running, looking for the "next shiny thing". (Like the eye looking all around for the eye) Thus, they abandon the Practice too soon, running after the next promising thing, and the next. I have spoken about that many times before: http://www.treeleaf.org/forums/showt...-s-NEXT%21-%21 Oh, some folks "get it", what it truly means to find Stillness amid both life's stillness and motion, Silence that sings as quiet or music or the noise of bombs exploding. But other folks don't "get it", or take it that we are pushing merely complacency, resignation and passivity, which is not the case. We are not preaching slogans from greeting cards, not tranquilized dullness, not a foresaking of vibrant curiosity and questioning, not prescribing a drug to bring numbness ... but Crystal Clarity and Wholeness. Rising up from the cushion, whether lighting incense or changing a baby diaper, in the temple or the office, in a forest or the city streets ... we get done what needs to be done, move forward though no place to go. One might then be able to manifest that same Ordinary-Extra-Ordinary Wondrous Embodiment of Buddha, Fully Realized, All Fulfilled, Holy-Wholey-Whole, holding all Timeless-Time & Space, the One and Only Place to Be, a Sacred Act Complete ... in every moment and small action of life.
