Earle led the yoga philosophy department and taught meditation and yoga, while also studying Tibetan, Sanskrit, business, and a 7-year advanced program in Tibetan Buddhism. #energymedicine #spiritual #meditate About my Guest Earle BirneyEarle grew up an avid sports fan in Vancouver, Canada. With just 4 months left of study before obtaining a degree, he began to realize that a life of following “societal norms” — starting a career, buying a house, getting married, having kids — did not make sense or appeal to him. It felt confining rather than freeing. So instead, he took out a student loan, bought an around-the-world ticket, and went on his personal search for freedom. Fueled by liquid inspiration, Earle ironically ended up in Paremoremo, a maximum security prison in Auckland New Zealand where he remained as a guest for the next 22 months. This is where Earle met the practices of yoga, meditation, and Buddhist philosophy. Earle began studying the Asian Classics Institute program and shortly after returning to Canada, went to help him start the Diamond Mountain University and Retreat Center in the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona. Earle led the yoga philosophy department and taught meditation and yoga, while also studying Tibetan, Sanskrit, business, and a 7-year advanced program in Tibetan Buddhism. This period of study concluded with a 3 year 3 month 3 day silent meditation retreat.Taking his 27 years of experience, Earle thrives on making the often complicated teachings practical and relatable. Earle uses his expertise in retreat and his capacity to guide people along the stages of meditation, to help them in their spiritual journey.Earle is the head of curriculum development and lead teacher at the Yoga Studies Institute (YSI). YSI reaches over 10,000 students annually, leading students in yoga programs and retreats, meditation teacher trainings, and philosophy workshops. Earle also teaches and leads meditation programs at the Three Jewels Outreach Center in NYC for many students, including beginning meditators, people training to become meditation teachers, and advanced practitioners looking to deepen their practice in retreat.What we Discussed: 00:10 Who is Earle Birney 01:00 His Journey to understand life05:35 4 months from finishing his Degree and quit07:40 The plan was to work and kep travelling08:18 How he got into selling Acid09:30 Getting a warning he should have listened to10:28 The Process of Getting Arrested11:40 His Court Experience14:20 His experience in Prison15:50 How did his Parents react to the situation17:00 After 5 month how was the prison experience18:55 The jobs in the Prison20:30 What was his Mindset when he know he was getting out22:45 Was there any treatment in Prison to help with drug use25:00 The Journey after Prison28:00 7 Years in a Buddist centre29:00 3 Years 3 Months & 3 Day silent retreat29:50 How did they cover costs30:45 Spending 3 years to go inwards for yourself31:45 The Structure of the Retreat33:19 How was his mind in the 1st few days35:25 After the Retreat what was the next part of his journey38:00 Fast for Hunger40:20 Give Dignity to the Homeless41:00 What Meditation do they Teach and his Practice43:30 When People say they can not Meditate46:00 Getting Tired in Meditation49:14 Walking on the beach worked for me Meditating50:48 The Free Resources on his WebsiteHow to Contact Earle Birneywww.yogastudiesinstitute.orghttps://www.instagram.com/samayogastudio/All about Roy / Brain Gym & Virtual Assistants at https://roycoughlan.com/

Jessie, Amelia and Holly discuss if a reintroduction of the Baby Bonus could reverse the declining birth rate or if it's all too little too late.
