Bill and Gord P welcome you to the fourth episode of the 2024 Big Book Study! Bill and Gord discuss one of the most important chapters in the Big Book—Chapter 3 titled More About Alcoholism.

One of the most common on-going topics of this podcast is how to be you- but we haven't so much so often spoken about HOW to be TRUE to that YOU with a long term course in mind.Today Faern is walking us through some of her thoughts around how important this is- the tip top of the peak of spiritual work- the VERY thing that keeps us going and often overlooked.One thing to keep in mind- not one path is similar to the next. Not student to teacher especially, and we think this attempt at the replication  of a teacher's experience actually blocks us from our own- IF we never take the time to broaden our perspective to allow in a greater awareness.Have a listen, let us know what you think- and don't miss the special announcement within the episode.Have a great week!PS if you are looking for Spiritual Guidance check out this post on Faern's site

A few weeks ago Faern brought up the question 'are you avoiding joy?' which seems to be a hot topic, again, with all that is going on in the world.THIS week we ponder together while looking at the question 'Are Joy and Bliss Equal? and how they can be confused. Faern also discusses  what our true nature is by way of SatChitAnanda from the Advaita Vedanta perspective which turns out to be much more direct than you'd initially expect.Let us know what you think about that by emailing us, you'll hear it in the episode.Have a great week&Thank you for being here

This is part 4 of our ongoing series called The Yogic ApproachToday we are focused on The Yamas as described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. The "backbone" of Yoga Philosophy- restraints.Faern walks us through the basics of what these are, how we can look at their knowledge and apply it to our lives. She also looks into the word Yama and shares with us some simple insights from connecting the two.The next Yogic Approach episode will focus on the Niyamas.

Have you ever actually considered something like that?"Things that can bring you the fullest joy are possibly being actively avoided"- FaernIt's one thing to be generally happy and go through the day to day but it's a whole other thing to realize you have been simply overlooking what may bring you the fulfillment you ponder as being missing.That is what this episode is about-Our host Faern takes us through a personal experience revolving around re-learning how to find joyful things in her life.The Yogic Approach returns next week with the Yammas

This episode begins with Faern giving us a basic explanation on how we can use the idea of  'entrainment' and how we already do naturally in our daily lives and practices.We then move into a Guided HamSa Meditation and Breathing Practice.We already learned SoHum last year- which is very similar and to some might even seem the same but given some time and attention one will call you deeper within yourself. Neither is more valid than the other- in fact the difference in the spelling is Sanskrit grammar- not any hierarchy, but honestly they FEEL different from each other.Test them out and get back to us.The intention of the meditation is taking part with 'entrainment', testing the waters, so to speak. This simple meditation is very profound- Faern suggests trying it on your own at different times of day and lengths of time This type of Meditation is focus building as well as calming.This is a very good place to begin with meditation practices but it is also a quintessential experience many people return to over years and years if not their whole lifetime. {Same with SoHum}

Have you ever wondered how to rid yourself of all the ways you unconsciously react to life experiences?Before you do that you have to know what they are and how they came to be such a large part of how you perceive the world around you. One way to do that is to get an idea of how ignorance or obstacles  appear from within.Today we are looking at The Kleshas in part 3 of our Yogic Approach series. The Kleshas, when put simply, are precisely this breakdown.Give a listen and see for yourself if they come through in your daily life.

Just a quick one for you, where I go over my most popular episodes in the year 2022.  Including a quick peek of upcoming topics and a quote from the Bhagavad Gita.
