Podcast appearances and mentions of stephen snyder

In this episode I host a dialogue between Stephen Snyder, meditation teacher and author, and Mark Mininberg, Zen master and dharma heir to Bernie Glassman. Stephen and Mark discuss their new podcast interview series, “Anatomy of Awakening”, in which they engage in peer-to-peer trialogue with other teachers of enlightenment. Stephen and Mark reveal why they chose the teachers they have featured, the degree to which various claims to spiritual attainment played a part in their selection, and how they navigated conversations with teachers from other Buddhist sects. Stephen and Mark reflect on the increase in meditation teachers who claim spiritual awakening, recall their own trainings in Zen communities in which discussion of enlightenment was taboo, and emphasise the need for rigorous training under an experienced guide. Stephen and Mark also warn about teachers who overestimate their abilities, offer suggestions to aspiring gurus, and emphasis the whole body commitment required to truly attain Buddhist awakening. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep308-anatomy-of-awakening-stephen-snyder-mark-mininberg Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'.

Stephen Snyder joined me this week for a wide-ranging discussion on Kentucky, college baseball, transitioning from voluntary to employee benefits, and bourbon.Stephen made the shift a few years ago and shares some of the key differences, such as the different volume in sales, completely unique sales cycles, and the need to think differently when selling employee benefits. He also shared how content has allowed him to build a brand for himself, both in the VB and EB worlds. If you're currently in voluntary benefits and looking to switch, or have just made that transition, you'll get a lot out of this episode of the Accelerate Your Insurance Sales Podcast.▶▶ Sign Up For Our Social Media Sales Seminar:https://www.completegameu.com/registration-SMSSKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) From Voluntary Benefits To Employee Benefits | with Stephen Snyder(00:00:24) Growing Up In Kentucky(00:05:15) Juco Baseball(00:13:23) Career Shift from Voluntary Benefits to Employee Benefits(00:19:22) Why Employee Benefits Is So Different(00:36:12) Networking and Growth Through Content CreationCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

In this episode I am once again joined by Stephen Snyder, Buddhist meditation teacher and author of several books including ‘Buddha's Heart', ‘Trust in Awakening', and his latest release ‘Liberating the Self'. Stephen emphasises the importance of working with personality structures even after Buddhist awakening, and offers methods to resolve trauma and destructive patterns to unlock hidden spiritual strength. Stephen warns about the dangers of achieving enlightenment without dealing with one's personality patterns and trauma, reflects on the inner experience of enlightened Zen masters who behaved badly, and gives his advice for teachers and practitioners who think they no longer need to practice. Stephen also reports a high success rate of awakening and other mystical experiences among his students, shares his approach to retreats and 1-1 teaching, and describes advanced Theravada meditation techniques such as kasina and skeleton meditation. … Video versions: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep298-liberating-the-self-stephen-snyder

Host Michael Taft speaks with Stephen Snyder Sensei about practicing the Pa Auk jhanas, the importance of vulnerability in finding authentic strength, his two paths for awakening: the Theravada cessation path and the Zen shikantaza path, how to balance psychological work with awakening, seeing the enlightened qualities of anger (and other difficult emotions), what are “protective” meditations, the three levels of shikantaza practice, koan practice, aloneness as a spiritual path, and the three factors he feels must be present for a true awakening.Stephen Mugen Snyder, Sensei began practicing daily meditation in 1976. Since then, he has studied Buddhism extensively—investigating and engaging in Zen, Tibetan, Theravada, and Western non-dual traditions. He was authorized to teach in the Theravada Buddhist tradition in 2007 and the Zen Buddhist schools of Soto and Rinzai in 2022. Stephen is a senior student of Roshi Mark Sando Mininberg and a transmitted teacher in the White Plum Asanga—the body of teachers in the Maezumi-roshi lineage.

Associate North Durham Campus Pastor of Small Groups and Sending, Stephen Snyder, shares a message of hope from Isaiah 9.

Modern psychology has a very complicated relationship with gender. Gender differences have become one of the most contentious areas in the field, and it seems like psychology isn’t entirely sure what to do with men anymore. This is especially true for heterosexual men, who are often viewed through a pathological lens. So in today's show, we're going to dive into some controversy. Some of the topics we’ll discuss include why men are often blamed for their own sexual problems, why it's important to acknowledge gender differences in communication styles, and more. I am joined once again by Dr. Stephen Snyder, an AASECT certified sex therapist, relationship therapist, and sexual medicine specialist. Dr. Snyder is an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City and author of the book LOVE WORTH MAKING: How to Have Ridiculously Great Sex in a Long-Lasting Relationship. Some of the questions we address include: How have the dynamics of heterosexual relationships changed over time? Why does the field of sex therapy have such a complicated relationship with men and male sexuality? What are some of the key differences in sexual psychology that are important for people to understand? You can learn more about Stephen and his work on his website here. Got a sex question?

A lot of sex advice boils down to one popular idea: that good sex is simply a matter of combining the right physical sensations with the right kind of mental activity. In other words, great sex is just friction plus fantasy. However, it's more complicated than that. To have really great sex, we need to start by understanding the true nature of the sexual self. In today’s show, we're going to explore a new way of thinking about  sex, as well as discuss what you really need to know when it comes to having sex that's truly worth having. My guest is Dr. Stephen Snyder, and AASECT certified sex therapist, relationship therapist, and sexual medicine specialist. Dr. Snyder is an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City and author of the book LOVE WORTH MAKING: How to Have Ridiculously Great Sex in a Long-Lasting Relationship. Some of the questions we address in this episode include: What’s the problem with the “friction plus fantasy” narrative? How can understanding the sexual self as “infantile” help us find inspiration in long-term sexual relationships? What is “simmering,” and what’s the benefit of learning how to do it? Why might it be bad to view sex as work? How can you develop sexual connections that last over time? You can learn more about Dr. Snyder and his work on his website. Got a sex question?

In this episode I am once again joined by Stephen Snyder, Buddhist meditation teacher and author of several books including ‘Buddha's Heart', ‘Trust in Awakening', and his up-coming release ‘Soothing the Longing Heart'. Stephen talks about the importance of working with one's personality material especially after awakening. He points to an idealisation of the Buddha and other blindspots in Buddhism that he believes have led to the various behavioural scandals that have surrounded so many famous Zen masters. Stephen discusses how to work with fear and anger, how to heal one's core wound, how to convert the superego into Absolute guidance, and reflects on the pros and cons of American culture's interaction with the Buddhist religion. Stephen also reflects on how he approaches leading meditation retreats, why he does not enforce strict Zen schedules, the deleterious effect of electronics on concentration power, and the subtle power of taking a dharma name. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep242-soothing-the-longing-heart-stephen-snyder

Yoko Ogawa's The Memory Police, translated by Stephen Snyder, is a haunting and provocative fable about the power of memory and the trauma of loss, which was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize in 2020. On an unnamed island, things are disappearing and most of the island's residents are forgetting all about them. It starts small with hats and ribbons but it soon escalates.

In this episode I am once again joined by Stephen Snyder, meditation teacher, author, and the first non-monastic Western man to master the virtuoso-level shamata meditation system of Pa Auk Sayadaw. In this interview we discuss Stephen's latest book ‘Demysifying Awakening: A Buddhist Path of Realization, Embodiment, and Freedom'. Stephen gives detailed comparisons between the maps of Theravadan and Zen Buddhism, explains the difference between Kensho and Satori, and reveals why it is so easy to stall after an initial awakening experience. Stephen also shares techniques to open the Wisdom Eye, loosen allegiance to the body, and transcend the superego; and reveals how he assesses others spiritual experiences and how an individual can self-assess their own level of awakening. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep141-demystifying-awakening-stephen-snyder

Can sex survive monogamy? This is a question Manhattan sex therapist Dr. Stephen Snyder explores in his book Love Worth Making: How to Have Ridiculously Great Sex in a Long-Lasting Relationship. He looks at how there's no shortage of books these days on sex technique, but that's not what most people are interested in. What they really want is to have great sex in a committed relationship, in which case all the technical expertise in the world won't help you very much. For that, you need to understand sexual feelings - how they operate, what rules they follow, and how they connect to the rest of who you are. Dr. Stephen Snyder's unique approach has helped over 1,500 individuals and couples master the erotic challenges of long-term relationships. Integrating the latest research on human sexuality with compelling stories from his 30 years of experience working with over 1,500 individuals and couples, Love Worth Making will help people of all ages and backgrounds master the erotic challenges of long-term relationships, understand their sexual feelings, and enjoy them for life. In this episode we talk about: What happens to a couple’s sex life when a baby arrives. How most books on sex subscribe to the idea that sex is just “friction plus fantasy”, but that’s not the kind of sex most of us are looking for. The “sexual self”. How couples spend too much time thinking about technique, which leads to a lot of very boring sex because there’s no passion in it. How to solve erotic boredom. Mindfulness practices before sex. The impact of digital devices and social media on our sex life. The most common mistakes men and women make in the bedroom.

Social Media is making sex obsolete. Dr. Stephen Snyder shares a shocking statistic that reveals the drop in the sexual interaction between people. He unpacks his very interesting theory on why this is. In this episode, you will hear about why people have sex and the influence of social media and technology on their motivation to engage sexually. He talks about ‘Healthy Narcissism” as children and its return during sex, both of which he describes as normal. Listen in to hear him connect the dots between what social media offers and celebrity narcissism- “What we used to get from sex, we now get it from lots of places.” When describing how we interact with devices, he refers to an Infantile Narcissistic State that wants everything but gives nothing. How long should sex last? Listen in to find out what Dr. Snyder considers the appropriate length for sexual engagement. He touches on porn and its influence on what people perceive as perfect. Again, technology affects what we come to expect. Sex: Technique versus Feelings Dr. Snyder compares the variety of advice available to couples about technique and technical know-how as opposed to psychological signs. He shares the signs of arousal (this is not actually what you think it is!!). This candid list is something you won't want to miss out on as it brings much clarity to what we experience. Dr. Snyder unwraps the effect of sex on your mental faculties, returning to an infantile state and validation. Tune in to hear his advice for experiencing the most out of arousal to validate and connect us in relationships. How does good communication ruin great sex? We move on to even more unusual beliefs with Dr. Snyder. Join in to hear his shocking view on what communication can do to your relationship and encounter his playful analogies around this. He shares his experiences about couples he consults and makes sense of why he believes communication curbs the passion in relationships. Is it ok to be Selfish? Join in to find out about the role selfishness plays in relationships and sex. We cover orgasms and who is responsible for them despite what is commonly believed. Dr. Snyder draws parallels between childlike selfishness and its connection with sex. Very interesting to hear! But I'm not in the mood Dr. Snyder covers a method called the Two- Step. He discusses the secret of this method as the ‘experiencing mode.' While every couple does things a little differently together, Dr. Snyder says it should move naturally to the second step. We share a playground analogy that opens up our views about what is expected and not expected for connecting with your partner. Men and women experience things differently. In this episode, Dr. Snyder visits the evolution of men's understanding of women. He shares his insights on how men have lost their primal instincts in an attempt to better understand women and what the impact of this is in relationships today. He shares his advice on embracing your desires. When Dr. Snyder assesses women today, he focuses on women not understanding that men want happy partners. He presents men's fears about having unhappy partners and the fear of disappointment. In his assessment, he draws on the male experience with a mother and the themes carried from that into adult relationships. About our guest Stephen Snyder, M.D. is Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine and an AASECT-certified sex therapist in full-time private practice in New York City.

Guest: Dr. Stephen Snyder, sex, and relationship expert and authorHost: Sara-Jayne King, Late NightsTopic: The Fringe: What is a paraphiliaSara-Jayne King speaks to sex and relationship therapist Dr. Stephen Synder, author of Love Worth Making about Paraphilia which is an unusual arousal pattern. It was once thought to be disorders but then it turned out that they’re not that unusual(e.g liking to be spanked- 50 shades of Grey etc). In the sex and relationship environment, it is seen as normal variations today. The term "paraphilic disorders" is reserved for a paraphilia that causes lots of distress or could conceivably cause someone psychological harm -- like pedophilia, or exhibitionism.
