more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-04-23-22-34-02-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Vårsolen strålade genom björkskogen och skapade ett mjukt ljus över den lilla, fridfulla dalen där det andliga retretet hölls.En: The spring sun shone through the björkskogen and created a soft light over the small, peaceful valley where the spiritual retreat was held.Sv: Den svenska landsbygden var blomstrande och fylld av doften av nyutslagna blommor.En: The Swedish countryside was flourishing and filled with the scent of newly bloomed flowers.Sv: Lars kände luften fyllas med en lugnande känsla när han steg ut ur sin bil och såg sig omkring.En: Lars felt the air fill with a calming sensation as he stepped out of his car and looked around.Sv: Han var nervös men beslutsam, här för att hitta den inre fred han saknade efter sin skilsmässa.En: He was nervous but determined, here to find the inner peace he lacked after his divorce.Sv: Astrid, retrets ledare, välkomnade alla med ett varmt leende.En: Astrid, the retreat leader, welcomed everyone with a warm smile.Sv: Hon samlade gruppen och presenterade vad de skulle göra under helgen.En: She gathered the group and introduced what they would do over the weekend.Sv: "Vi är här för att hitta balansen i våra liv," sa hon mjukt.En: "We are here to find balance in our lives," she said softly.Sv: "Låt oss börja med en vandring genom skogen och lyssna på naturens musik."En: "Let us begin with a walk through the forest and listen to the music of nature."Sv: Under vandringen gick Lars bredvid Signe, en kvinna som också kämpade med sina egna demoner.En: During the walk, Lars walked beside Signe, a woman who also struggled with her own demons.Sv: Hon talade om sin ångest och rädslan för att inte duga.En: She spoke about her anxiety and the fear of not being enough.Sv: Lars lyssnade, och blev påmind om sina egna bekymmer.En: Lars listened and was reminded of his own worries.Sv: De nickade förstående åt varandra.En: They nodded understandingly at each other.Sv: De var olika men i samma båt.En: They were different but in the same boat.Sv: Varje dag började med meditation på en grön äng.En: Each day began with meditation in a green meadow.Sv: Blommorna vajade lätt i vinden och fåglarna sjöng.En: The flowers swayed gently in the wind and the birds sang.Sv: Inledningsvis tyckte Lars att det var svårt att släppa sina tankar.En: Initially, Lars found it difficult to let go of his thoughts.Sv: Minnen från hans tidigare liv flöt upp.En: Memories from his past life surfaced.Sv: Trots sin skepsis försökte han sluka sig i Astrids mjuka röst som guidade dem genom sessionerna.En: Despite his skepticism, he tried to immerse himself in Astrid's gentle voice as she guided them through the sessions.Sv: På kvällarna samlades de i kretsen av lyktor och delade sina upplevelser.En: In the evenings, they gathered in a circle of lanterns and shared their experiences.Sv: Astrid uppmuntrade alla att uttrycka sina känslor.En: Astrid encouraged everyone to express their feelings.Sv: Lars fann det svårt men berikande, och han började sakta öppna upp sig.En: Lars found it difficult but enriching, and he began to slowly open up.Sv: Den sista dagen av retretet kom och det var dags för en djupt guidad meditation.En: The final day of the retreat arrived, and it was time for a deeply guided meditation.Sv: Lars satte sig ner och slöt ögonen.En: Lars sat down and closed his eyes.Sv: Under meditationen kände han hur en våg av känslor stigit upp inom honom.En: During the meditation, he felt a wave of emotions rise within him.Sv: Det var som att en barriär bröts och han äntligen tillät sig att acceptera sorgen och osäkerheten i sitt liv.En: It was as if a barrier was broken and he finally allowed himself to accept the sorrow and uncertainty in his life.Sv: Tårarna rann nerför hans kinder, men det var inte längre av smärta.En: Tears streamed down his cheeks, but it was no longer from pain.Sv: Det var frigörande, en känsla av lättnad och acceptans.En: It was liberating, a feeling of relief and acceptance.Sv: Han insåg att för att gå vidare måste han släppa taget om det förflutna.En: He realized that to move forward, he had to let go of the past.Sv: När retretet närmade sig sitt slut, kändes det som om en tyngd lyfts från hans axlar.En: As the retreat approached its end, it felt as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.Sv: Lars kände sig lättare och mer fridfull.En: Lars felt lighter and more peaceful.Sv: Han kunde nu se framåt, redo att möta framtiden med ett öppnare sinne och hjärta.En: He could now look forward, ready to face the future with a more open mind and heart.Sv: När gruppen skildes åt, uttryckte Signe hur hon kände sig starkare efter helgen.En: As the group parted, Signe expressed how she felt stronger after the weekend.Sv: Lars log och lovade sig själv att bära med sig dessa lärdomar.En: Lars smiled and promised himself to carry these lessons with him.Sv: Han lämnade den lilla dalen med ett sinne fyllt av klarhet och en nyfunnen känsla av syfte.En: He left the small valley with a mind filled with clarity and a newfound sense of purpose.Sv: Våren hade inte bara kommit till landskapet utan också till hans själ, beredd att blomstra.En: Spring had not only come to the landscape but also to his soul, ready to blossom.

What would you call someone who is a very creative person with questions and not consuming reality the way it was told to them? Some would call that person normal, while others would perceive them as weird while a select few in the medical “health” community would label them mentally ill.Sarah Elkhaldy describes her journey from being declared mentally ill by “experts” to learning who she really is — a gifted mystic and spiritual teacher skilled in the esoteric arts — and shares why alchemy is synonymous to awakening this week on Spirit Gym.Learn more about Sarah and her work on her website (where you can find out more about her Spiritual Retreat in Sedona in January 2025).

Struggling to find my place in the world has long been a journey filled with questions, dreams, and the need for guidance. Today, we delve into the essence of this quest through heartfelt reflections and spiritual insights. Johanna Rowan sets the stage, introducing our upcoming Women's Spiritual Retreat, an event designed to deepen one's spirituality through an internal, mystical journey. With special guest Kimberly Braun, a beacon of profound spiritual insight and playful energy, we explore how divine play can transform our understanding of spiritual paths, fostering a joyful and profound awakening.Journey with us as we uncover the mystical teachings of a Jesuit priest who dared to challenge orthodox views, emphasizing the unity of the universe through spirit. Despite facing silence from his tradition, he envisioned human consciousness ascending to an omega point. We unravel his groundbreaking work, "The Phenomenon of Man," and discuss his concept of the three faces of God: the transcendent "about God," the relational "to God," and the divine "as God." This framework offers a rich tapestry for understanding the divine in our daily lives and relationships, inviting us to see the divine in everything around us.Lastly, we reflect on a powerful spiritual experience inspired by the biblical story of Peter walking on water. This moment serves as a metaphor for our intrinsic connection to the divine, reminding us that nothing can separate us from God's eternal embrace. Through the lens of divine play, we highlight the importance of recognizing this connection, irrespective of our actions or thoughts. The episode culminates with a heartfelt poem, a meditative exercise focusing on the heart chakra, and an uplifting musical rendition that celebrates resilience and perseverance. Embrace your spiritual journey with love and determination, knowing that you are eternally held in the embrace of the divine.

In this episode, Fr. Gallagher  continues the conversation on joy and "eucatastrophe."  J. R. R. Tolkien  defined  this term in his lecture “On Fairy-Stories,” as  a “good catastrophe, the sudden joyous ‘turn'…it is a sudden and miraculous grace…a fleeting glimpse of Joy” (On Fairy-Stories 153) Going further, it is a moment experienced in the Gospel, referencing the greatest moment of eucatastrophe in human history: the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (On Fairy-Stories 156). When understood through the mechanism of eucatastrophe "The Lord of the Rings" becomes a “fundamentally religious and Catholic work” (Letter 142).

Illuminating the benefits of taking spiritual retreat, Jack highlights the importance of meeting our practice with great faith, great courage, and great questioning.Join Jack with Trudy Goodman, Krishna Das, Anne Lamott and more, live online from Maui in the virtual Ram Dass Legacy Retreat: Love and Renewal 11/29 - 12/3!"It's not a question of practicing and losing weight, or getting rid of our neurosis or figuring out our mother, father, husband, or wife trip; but it's really to get the bottom of the question of life itself: Who are we? What makes up our experience? And to ask that question, to come to the end of our questioning requires a kind of passion, a kind of urgency, to see, to know." – Jack KornfieldIn this episode, Jack mindfully illuminates:The history and importance of taking spiritual retreat in Eastern traditions What it was like for Jack to take spiritual retreat with Burmese Buddhist teacher, Mahasi Sayadaw, and his Thai Buddhist teacher, Ajahn Chah Instructions for meditation and how to apply them properly to the retreat experience Moving beyond our psychological melodrama so we can gain deeper insight into the processes of mind Gurdjieff and using the fire of practice to transform our inner-world into a single whole Using our time wisely within the great mystery of this precious human birth Meeting our meditation practice with great faith, great courage, and great questioning The Diamond Sutra and how to live with a heart of light"You say that practice is difficult. This is thinking. Practice is not difficult. If you say it's difficult this means you're examining yourself too much—examining your situation, your condition, your opinion—so you say practice is difficult. But if you keep the mind that is before thinking and planning, then practice is not difficult." – Jack Kornfield quoting a Zen MasterThis Dharma Talk on 10/07/78 from Insight Meditation Society was originally published on DharmaSeed.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
