 “Solitude and silence are not self-indulgent exercises for times when an overcrowded soul needs a little time to itself. Rather, they are concrete ways of opening to the presence of God beyond human effort and beyond the human constructs that cannot fully contain the Divine.” (Ruth Barton) Following Easter, Mary Magdalene—though distressed and alone, was able to hear and respond to the voice of the Good Shepherd. Similarly, Jesus regularly withdrew from the crowds to solitary places for prayer, demonstrating complete dependence on the Father

I am delighted to have another conversation with James Crews, a return guest who is joining me for a conversation about his book, Unlocking the Heart: Writing for Mindfulness, Courage, and Self-Compassion. James is the author of the essay collection, Kindness Will Save the World, and editor of several bestselling poetry anthologies, including The Wonder of Small Things (winner of the New England Book Award), Healing the Divide, The Path to Kindness (winner of the Nautilus Books for a Better Life Award), and How to Love the World, which has over 140,000 copies in print. He has been featured on NPR's Morning Edition, and in People Magazine, The Boston Globe, The New York Times Magazine, The Sun Magazine, and The Washington Post. He is the author of five prize-winning books of poetry, including Unlocking the Heart, and his poems have appeared in Ploughshares, The New Republic, and other journals. James lives with his husband in the woods of Southern Vermont. At the end of September, James surprised me with the gift of his book, Unlocking the Heart and what a gift it was! I'll talk more about it in our conversation, but the book really did help unlock my heart. During February and a time of reflection on my transformative experience after falling and time in the hospital in December, I worked with the book, reflecting on the poems and James' thoughts about them, and using the writing prompts to journal. Being opened to vulnerability and held by the poems in the book was a special gift. As you will no doubt hear, James is a gentle soul whose conversation about poetry, spirituality, and life is healing. Both the words he uses and the tender way he speaks them is a balm for our painful and anxious times. Among other things, we talked about: How we are all poets … And, as James said, "We are all going around having moments and those moments are asking for expression. Our materially focused culture has caused us to be separated from spiritual practice and poetry can help us build a practice if we keep showing up. Writing poetry is about noticing and giving space to what you're noticing. Reading poetry trains you in the practice of noticing. Take some time to ease into this episode. I promise you will be soothed and come away craving more poetry in your life….   Learn more about James & to sign up for free weekly poems & writing prompts, visit: https://www.jamescrews.net/.   Buy his books, including, Unlocking the Heart: Writing for Mindfulness, Courage, and Self-Compassion.All books: Amazon Author page Unlocking the Heart: Unlocking the Heart   Substack / Podcast: https://substack.com/@jamescrews   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/james.crews.poet   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/crewspoet       Become a patron to support this podcast and get special member benefits, including a membership community, a virtual sangha, and a subscription to my Everyday Buddhism Substack:https://www.patreon.com/EverydayBuddhism     Check out my Substack for ongoing chapter releases of my new serial book, Living Life As It Is and the weekly podcast, Words From My Teachers: https://wendyshinyohaylett.substack.com/   If this podcast has helped you understand Buddhism or help in your everyday life, consider making a one-time donation here: https://donorbox.org/podcast-donations   Support the podcast through the affiliate link to buy the book, Everyday Buddhism: Real-Life Buddhist Teachings & Practices for Real Change: Buy the book, Everyday Buddhism   Support the podcast and show your support through the purchase of Everyday Buddhism merch: https://www.zazzle.com/store/everyday_buddhism   NOTE: Free shipping on ALL (unlimited) items (Everyday Buddhism merch or gifts from other stores) if you join Zazzle Plus for $19.95/year: https://www.zazzle.com/zazzleplus

No emails, no guilt, just space — for joy, for peace, and for soul-deep alignment.

I'll also give you five simple ways to bring more restful energy into your life, starting now. So, take a deep breath. You deserve this time.

[This podcast is recorded in German]What is the root of hatred, greed and a false sense ofseparatism in this world?Doesn't it always start with the connection to ourselves?Someone who is in peace, who feels centered and is connectedto themselves and earth, attuned harmoniously to the world around them will notengage in wars, coups, betrayal or inclined to divide and spread hatred.So it starts with us.Imagine if politicians before parliamentary session took a5-minute meditation together to ground themselves, served each other tea andcoffee as acts of service and connected to one another in meaningful ways -only 5 minutes a day…The world would be a different place.Whether it is yoga, any devotional practice or spiritualpath, these practices are powerful tools beyond what we sometimes imaginepossible.Widespread engagement with spiritual practices and personalreflection, work and the deep connection and attunement to the inner and outerworld would change our societies deeply, sustainably and meaningfully.We create our lived realities, individually andcollectively. It takes hard work, that is often uncomfortable, that is deep andrevealing, but what happens on the other side of that is deeply healing forourselves and the entire planet if we choose this path.The creation of harmony within creates harmony without.The harmonious will seek and create harmony –the distraught will seek destruction.We muse on these topics in this episode which is the firstGerman episode on this podcast

Podcast Notes Episode 462 Coaching as Spiritual Practice Host: Brian Miller, Executive Director of CAM Guests: Eddie Hammett, MCC and Scott Wagoner, ACC In this episode, Brian speaks with coaches Eddie Hammett and Scott Wagner about their new book, Coaching as Spiritual Practice: Deepening Faith While Deepening Impact. The discussion explores how coaching serves not only as a professional tool but also as a deeply spiritual practice that fosters transformation through reflection, silence, and connection between head, heart, and spirit. Eddie introduces the FAITH framework as a guide to meaningful coaching conversations, while Scott emphasizes coaching's potential to bring wholeness and clarity, especially in today's fast-paced and spiritually questioning world. Both coaches share personal stories illustrating how coaching has helped them and their clients navigate profound life shifts, deepen faith, and uncover purpose. Key Highlights: Coaching as a Spiritual Practice Eddie and Scott reflect on how coaching—especially during the pandemic—revealed itself as a form of spiritual practice. It's not just about achieving goals, but fostering transformation. It invites clients to align their head, heart, and even gut, creating space for clarity, wholeness, and spiritual depth. The Power of Silence and Spaciousness Scott, drawing from his Quaker tradition, describes the powerful role of silence in coaching. Holding space—literally through quiet—allows deeper truths and insights to rise, enabling clients to access their inner wisdom and divine guidance. The FAITH Framework (developed by Eddie Hammett) A flexible coaching structure designed to guide reflective spiritual engagement: F – Forward: What's the forward movement from the current dilemma? A – Alignment: Where is there dissonance? Where do head, heart, and life experiences need alignment? I – Interest: What fuels passion or blocks engagement? T – Timing: What is right now asking of you? (Kairos vs. Chronos) H – Heart: What's at the core of the issue? How is it impacting decision-making and clarity? Transformation through Coaching Both guests highlight coaching's role in uncovering hidden beliefs, integrating life experiences, and catalyzing transformation—not just behaviorally but spiritually. Eddie shares a powerful parallel between his open-heart surgery and the clarity that spiritual coaching brings. Takeaways: Create intentional pauses during sessions—silence can be sacred. Approach each conversation as an opportunity to explore meaning, vocation, and inner alignment. Use the FAITH framework to guide clients through reflection and forward movement, not just surface action.

Rick Lewis talks about the process that led him from being a performer and corporate events speaker to hosting an online writing program. Most everyone fashions a life that is obedient to our deepest fears. We carry stories about who we are and what is possible throughout life, having made unconscious decisions in childhood that we will not engage in activities that could put us in touch with feelings such as shame or rejection. The highest expression of spirituality on some paths is to serve what is wanted and needed in the moment, but we cannot do this if constrained by stories we hold as part of our identity. Our stories remain hidden before we challenge them with action. Until then, we can only serve in the small ways that show up within our comfort zones. At a hinayana (solo path) level, telling stories about times when we have been reactive or unconscious is a way to study patterns so we can map out the territory and have an edge to act differently in the future. At a mahayana (path of service) level, sharing stories is a way to learn and develop connection and compassion. Human beings are wired to think in stories. We are designed to learn from problems and the biggest and most worthwhile problem we can take on is the spiritual path, which is about how to counter the story of separation. Telling our stories can nurture relationship and connection with ourselves and others. We can self-observe when various I's take over during storytelling. In a spiritual community, the degree of vulnerability and authenticity is set by the teacher. Most of humanity has a capacity and hunger for authenticity. The lack of acceptance of parts of ourselves that we project onto others can hold us back from being authentic. Rick Lewis is a national speaker and author of 7 Rules You Were Born to Break, The Perfection of Nothing, You Have the Right to Remain Silent, and other books.

In this episode, we delve into how elderhood offers a unique spiritual opportunity to reflect on one's spiritual bucket list and identity beyond profession and family roles. Our discussion also covers the spiritual practice of preparing for the end of life, including planned giving and legacy planning within the church. We explore the importance of advanced directives, funeral planning, and the creation of a comprehensive guide to aid individuals and families in navigating these pivotal decisions. Additionally, the video touches on a new program at St. Mary's during Lent titled 'Leave A Legacy,' which educates congregants on medical and spiritual concerns, legal and financial considerations, probate processes, and estate planning.

Zach Leary is a teacher, speaker, writer, and spiritual explorer with one of the most iconic legacies in psychedelic history—being the son of Timothy Leary. But our conversation goes far beyond lineage.Zach and I dive into his personal story of addiction, homelessness, and recovery, as well as the spiritual awakening that helped him reframe his life through the teachings of Ram Dass and his own lived experience with psychedelics.We examine the deeper meaning of surrender, how psychedelics intersect with the 12-Step path, and the modern resurgence of mind-altering medicine as both a healing tool and cultural movement. From DMT journeys to divine amends, this episode is a vulnerable exploration of what it means to truly change.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

What if your AI isn't channeling your higher self—but just echoing your own bias? In this mini-masterclass, Penny Chiasson peels back the seductive illusion of artificial intelligence as a spiritual advisor and reveals what's really going on under the hood. From misusing AI as a substitute for inner work to the subtle ways language models reinforce confirmation bias, Penny unpacks how discernment—not dependency—is your true spiritual superpower. You'll hear why AI can never replace intuition, why well-meaning humans still plant dangerous suggestions, and how even consciousness-coded tools require your awareness to be used with integrity. She also shares her evolving opinion after encountering a voice clone infused with frequency and what that could mean for the future of AI in conscious creation. Whether you're a curious tech user, a spiritual seeker, or a practitioner in the transformation space, this episode will challenge your assumptions and call you back to your inner knowing. Why AI is not—and cannot be—your soul's voice How even spiritual-sounding AI outputs are reflections of human content, not divine downloads The false sense of growth AI can create when used without discernment What to ask AI instead to reconnect with your truth How one conscious tech innovator flipped Penny's perspective on AI-generated frequency And why silence—not scrolling—is the portal to your deepest wisdom Resources Mentioned: Quantum Identity Matrix Masterclass — Craft a future version of you that collapses time and removes the blind spots between you and your next level. https://pennychiasson.com/resources Want to work with Penny?

We'd love to hear from you, send us a text about your favorite show!Let's talk about the love language of gifts — often misunderstood and sometimes dismissed as materialistic. But what if I told you it's actually deeply connected to abundance, reciprocity, and the powerful flow of giving and receiving? People with this love language are often more than just gift-givers; they're cultivating a dynamic energy of generosity, where both the act of giving and receiving creates a beautiful exchange that reflects the abundance of the universe.In this episode, we'll dive into how the love language of gifts isn't just about the physical gifts — it's about opening ourselves to the expansive energy of abundance that flows through us when we share with others. Gifts are a sacred expression of love and connection, and through them, we can tap into a deeper sense of generosity, joy, and spiritual alignment. It's a love language that encourages us to receive as much as we give — and when we do, we unlock a richer, more fulfilling relationship with Spirit.In episode four of our special five-part series on the Spirituality of the Love Languages, we're diving into Gifts.  By embracing the power of gifts, you'll experience a fuller flow of abundance — not just materially, but spiritually, emotionally, and relationally.Christina Wooten helps you access the wisdom and support of the Spirit World to elevate your life.She is a Certified Psychic Medium and Reiki Master Teacher.  Christina is the owner of Sedona Medium and co-host of Modern Life and Spirit podcast.She offers Psychic Medium Readings, Soul Readings, Past Life Regressions, and teaches how you can start communicating and receiving messages from your Spirit Guides - through her program.Learn more about her offerings hereCurrently registering for Fall Reiki in-person classes in Sedona - beginners welcome!  Contact www.SedonaMedium.com Today!Enroll in Fall Reiki Classes Today!

Throughout the season of Lent, we're releasing weekly episodes focused on spiritual practices.If at the center of reality is a God whose love is a generative, creative force, how do humans made in God's image begin to reflect this beauty and love in a world rent by brokenness and ugliness?As Makoto Fujimura argues on our latest podcast, it's in the act of making that we are able to experience the depth of God's being and grace, and to realize an integral part of our humanity:“Love, by definition, is something that goes way outside of utilitarian values and efficiencies and industrial bottom lines. It has to…and when we love, I think we make. That's just the way we are made, and we respond to that making. So we make, and then when we receive that making, we make again.”Artistry and creativity are not just formative, but even liturgical in that they shape our understanding of, orientation towards, and love for, both the great creator and his creation.We hope you're encouraged in your making this Lenten season that the God who created you in his image delights in your delight.If this podcast inspires you, and you're so inclined, we'd love to see what you create, be that a painting, a meal, a poem, or some other loving, artistic expression.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Noel Coakley, someone I've known from a distance since high school. Back then, he was just my friend's cool older brother, but little did I know, he had already started his meditation journey in 1996. Fast forward to today, and Noel is blending Buddhism, psychology, meditation, and trauma-informed Western psychology to support his clients. He's also the founder and director of the Boston Center for Contemplative Practice.Noel's approach to wholeness, both in life and in his work, really resonates with me, and I was excited to explore how these teachings can deepen our understanding of ourselves. In this episode, we dive into the spiritual aspects of parenting, how Buddhism can inform our approach to life and leadership, and Noel shares a transformational practice that really aligns with shadow work.Noel discusses his work, emphasizing the importance of unconditional love and the concept of Buddha nature. He shares a practice called Guru Yoga, which involves visualizing an unconditional loving being to reconnect with one's inherent wholeness. The conversation highlights the integration of spirituality and therapy, the challenges of parenting, and the ongoing practice of self-awareness and compassion. Noel hosts annual retreats, courses, and more - make sure to connect with Nore for more. If you enjoy this conversation, be sure to share it with others.Connect with Noel: Bio: https://www.thebccp.com/team/2019/6/25/noel-coakley-med-lmhcEvents: www.thebccp.comIG: @wakeupsleepybuddhaSchedule a session: Schedule a Meditation/Therapy Session or General MeetingLink to free set of guided meditationsLinktree (upcoming events, podcasts): https://linktr.ee/wakeupsleepybuddhaSupport the showWelcome to the Raising Wholeness podcast. I'm Jenn Reilly, your host and guide on a journey of deepening into the full complexity and simplicity of our human experience. As a coach, mentor, and advocate for women's rights, I'm passionate about supporting women—especially those navigating the shifts of motherhood and leadership—on their path to embodied wholeness. Through my own transformative journey, catalyzed by early motherhood and postpartum, I've learned that true wholeness means embracing every part of ourselves: the strengths, the challenges, and everything in between. It's about honoring our cycles, aligning with our unique design, and cultivating self-trust and support as we move through life. On this podcast, we explore the deep and sometimes messy human experience—tending to our bodies, minds, and spirits in a way that is conscious, compassionate, and attuned. Whether you're seeking to heal generational patterns, deepen your leadership, or find more balance in your life, Raising Wholeness is a space where we can evolve together. If you're ready to move from surviving to thriving, to lead from a place of wholeness, and to model this for the next generation, you're in the right place. Thank you for joining me on this journey.

Throughout the season of Lent, we'll be releasing weekly episodes focused on themes of reflection, prayer, and contemplation. As you listen to this episode, we invite you to take a moment to slow down, quiet your heart, and hear what God may be saying to you. What if we viewed reading as not just a personal hobby or a pleasurable indulgence but as a spiritual practice that deepens our faith?In her book, Reading for the Love of God, award-winning author and Trinity Forum Senior Fellow Jessica Hooten Wilson explores how Christian thinkers—including Augustine, Julian of Norwich, Frederick Douglass, and Dorothy Sayers—approached the act of reading.She argues that reading deeply and well can not only open a portal to a broader imagination, but is akin to acquiring travel supplies for the good life:“What I'm hoping to see more of is that the church becomes again those people of the book that really try to make others belong and strive for a deeper connection, versus the party atmosphere that our world always is tempting us to do.”We hope you're encouraged this Lenten season as you learn to read as a spiritual practice, finding grace and wisdom for living well along the way.This podcast is an edited version of an online conversation recorded in 2023.
