meditation mnemonic-I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.—Abraham LincolnIt's like the game of hide and seek,Where silence hides and shadows peek.Truth counts slow behind closed eyes,While guilt runs off in thin disguise.The seeker's hand sweeps through the air,To catch the scent of what's not there.A breath is held beneath the floor,The game is not a game anymore.It's like the game of hide and seek,Where silence hides and shadows peek.Truth counts slow behind closed eyes,While guilt runs off in thin disguise.But every corner has its cost,And every soul who must be lost.The wooden door creaks, giving way,To light that ruins night and day.It's like the game of hide and seek,Where silence hides and shadows peek.Truth counts slow behind closed eyes,While guilt runs off in thin disguise.You find a place inside your head,Where secret fears are safely fed.And though the call is loud and near,You hope they never find you here.(Focus on the Tension/The Reveal):(Focus on the Personal/Internal Conflict):I call it "The Game."It's a game of our own consciousness, you see. And it sounds a little something like this:It's like the game of hide and seek,Where silence hides and shadows peek.Truth counts slow behind closed eyes,While guilt runs off in thin disguise.Think about that for a minute. That truth—our authentic, healthy self—it's counting. It's waiting for us to stop running. And what is running? It's the guilt, the shame, the little worries we let dress up and look like urgent business. They're distractions, plain and simple.We spend so much time building fortifications for these feelings. We hide them, hoping they'll just go away.You find a place inside your head,Where secret fears are safely fed.And though the call is loud and near,You hope they never find you here.That "place inside your head" is the default mode network we talk about, folks. It's where the internal chatter lives. The "never find you here" is the fear of being vulnerable, the fear that if we truly connect our heart and our mind—if we achieve that lovely heart-brain coherence—we might have to face those fears we've been nurturing.But the real secret, my friends, is that the Seeker is you. That truth counting slow behind your eyes? That's your breath. That's your centered self. The game ends when you simply stop running and allow your own light to find you in the hiding place. That's the work of heart-brain coherence—it turns the seeker into the found.The Seeker's Burden: If your "Truth counts slow behind closed eyes," what daily rituals are you using right now that actually hinder your ability to finally open them and see yourself clearly?Guilt's Disguise: We know guilt "runs off in thin disguise." What is the single most common procrastination habit that you use as a disguise to avoid facing a deeper, unresolved internal conflict?The Palace Blueprint: Your college lecture hall is a perfect Memory Palace. What is the one specific, high-stress academic concept (like Organic Chemistry nomenclature) you struggle with right now that we can turn into a ridiculous, unforgettable PAO image?Beyond the Grades: After memorizing a long list of facts, how can you immediately leverage that newfound "Heart-Brain Coherence" to make a difficult, real-world decision outside of academia?Grandpa Bill Overviews The Coherence ResetAre you tired of playing "The Game" of stress? Find the quiet place inside your head where the panic dissolves.

This is Part 2 of our back-to-school series on Live Vedanta. For many, the transition to college can bring more freedoms, a unique opportunity to find one's passions and to explore one's career interest, but it can also be a challenging time for many. Here Juhi Kotwani will chat with Brni. Kritikaji, who shares her guidance on how to navigate and respond to the challenges of failure from the lens of Vedanta.Brahmacharini Kritika Chaitanya was born in Toronto, Canada. After studying International Development Studies and Philosophy at the University of Toronto and engaging in much social work and volunteerism, she joined the 2nd Residential Vedanta Course at Chinmaya Mission Trinidad and Tobago Ashram in 2013. After a year and a half of studying the highest knowledge and Sanskrit under the guidance of Pujya Swami Prakashanandaji, she has committed herself to serving Chinmaya Mission. She is currently posted in Trinidad, conducting public satsangas and classes for adults, seniors and young females, and assisting with Ashram activities and enterprises.Register to be a part of our Seeking Culture CommUnity for young adults.Edited by Raj Sureka.Follow Seeking Culture on Instagram
This is Part 1 of our 4-part A Back to School Series on Live Vedanta. From navigating loneliness and evolving friendships to maintaining family connections from a distance, this conversation offers Vedantik tools for clarity and self-rootedness during young adulthood. Whether you're starting college or simply stepping into a new chapter, this episode reminds you that even through change, you can grow with intention and connection. In this episode, Sumanji sits down with Akshaya to explore what it means to live away from home while staying anchored within. Having grown up always hearing from his parents, “we want you to be happy, we want you to be independent,” Sumanji strove to do just that in all the ways society and the world had to offer. Leaving medical school in hopes of achieving more fulfillment through a career in IT, Sumanji found himself still wanting, wondering what it meant to be truly happy, truly independent. It was clear happiness was what everyone desired for themselves and each other, but it remained ever elusive. It was then that Sumanji went to his first Satsang in Pittsburgh, PA, and met Shri Vivek Gupta, who shared with him the knowledge of Advaita Vedanta. Convinced and compelled that he, too, could experience this for himself, Suman joined the two-year residential Vedanta course under the guidance of Pujya Swami Prakashananda at Chinmaya Mission's ashram in Trinidad & Tobago.Returning in 2018, Sumanji now lives in Providence, RI, where he works full-time as an Information Technology Manager. He serves Chinmaya Mission Niagara and Cleveland through various classes and study groups, traveling every opportunity he gets to share the message that gave his life meaning: that perpetual, independent joy is one's nature.Register to be a part of our Seeking Culture CommUnity for young adults.Edited by Dhruv Panicker.Follow Seeking Culture on Instagram

The Space Above the Head - Locus 0 (Chimes Edition)Our premise remains the same:Numeral: 0Sounds: S, Z, and soft CLocus: The space just above the crown of the headImagine the space directly above your head is not empty, but filled with a delicate, ethereal array of wind chimes. They are made of polished, hollow silver rods that glint in an unseen light. They hang from invisible strings, suspended in a perfect, silent arrangement.Swoosh: A gentle, otherworldly swoosh of wind blows through the chimes, causing them to sway and collide. Instead of a loud clang, they create a beautiful, sustained, bell-like tone that echoes in the space above. This sound adds a sensory layer and an "S" sound to our scene.Celestial: The chimes are not ordinary; they are celestial chimes. Each one is etched with tiny constellations and stellar maps, and as they move, the etched patterns glow with a soft, cosmic light. The word "celestial" powerfully reinforces the soft C sound.Zigzag: As the wind passes through, the chimes don't just move side to side. They move in a deliberate, chaotic zigzag pattern, weaving in and out of each other without ever tangling. This adds a sense of unpredictable motion and an excellent "Z" sound.Zodiac: At the center of the zigzagging chimes, there is a giant, silver, circular frame. It's an intricate zodiac chart, and the chimes are arranged to represent the different star signs. The word "zodiac" provides a strong "Z" sound and gives the whole scene a meaningful structure.Sash: The entire structure of the chimes and the zodiac is held together by a thin, shimmering sash of starlight that is tied in a knot just above your head. The sash gently pulls the chimes, creating the motion and the music. The word "sash" provides another "S" sound and a concrete visual to help anchor the scene.The Space Above the Head - Locus 0The numeral 0 is associated with the S, Z, and soft C sounds. The location is the space just above the crown of the head, ensuring it doesn't interfere with our locus for numeral one.Visualize the space directly above the top of your head. It's not a physical point but a boundless, empty expanse. In this vastness, a giant, shimmering chime is suspended. A powerful force strikes the chime, and it explodes with a beautiful, echoing S-S-S-S-S-Z-Z-Z-Z-L-E sound that projects out into the universe. Stars: The echoing sound waves from the cymbal are so powerful that they create tiny, sparkling stars that glitter in the space above your head. These stars dance and shimmer in the silent vacuum. This adds another visual cue with the "S" sound.Zebra: A mischievous zebra is running in a circle around the chimes. Its stripes are a blur as it chases its own tail. The sound associated with "1" is the "D" or "T" sound. We've chosen the top of the head, and Dinosaur: A tiny, friendly dinosaur (perhaps a Triceratops, with its three horns) is nibbling on the edge of the diamond. Tiara: A sparkling, jewel-encrusted tiara is sitting on top of the donut. It glitters in your mind's eye, a regal touch. Dominoes: The diamond isn't just a diamond; it's made of a line of falling dominoes. The dominoes are tumbling one after another, creating a satisfying clatter. Tack: You're not just touching the top; you're placing a tiny, sharp tack into the very center of the diamond. Tower: The diamond isn't flat; it's the base of a miniature, leaning tower of Pisa. Location: The top of the head.Number: 1.Sounds: D and T.#Memory,#MemoryTechniques,#BrainTraining,#LearnAnything,#StudyTips,#CognitiveScience,#MindPalace,#MajorSystem.#MagneticMemoryMethod,#MemoryPalace,#Mnemonics,#MemoryLoci#MnemonicBody,#MethodOfLoci,#MnemonicDevices,#MemoryMastery,#BrainHack,#Memorization,#MindPower,#MagneticMemoryMethod, #MemoryPalace, #MajorSystem, #Mnemonics #StudyTips, #BrainTraining, #LearnFast,#MemoryLoci, #DrAnthonyMetivier, #MnemonicBody, #MemoryTechniques, #LearnAnything,

Grandpa Bill's Maine Mentor Moments in Business and in Life-While distinct, natural and trained memory are not mutually exclusive. In fact, effective memory often involves an interplay between the two. Trained memory techniques often leverage the brain's natural tendencies (like its strong visual memory or its ability to form associations) to enhance recall. For instance, a memory palace works because our natural spatial memory is robust.By consciously employing trained memory strategies, individuals can significantly improve their ability to learn and recall information, especially in academic, professional, or competitive memory contexts, while still relying on their natural memory for the daily flow of life and emotional experiences.#NaturalMemory, #TrainedMemory, #MemoryPalace, #Mnemonics, #Neuroscience, #CognitiveScience ,#LearningStrategies, #BrainTraining, #MemoryHacks, #StudyTips ,#NeuralPathways, #Mindfulness,#KnowledgeBuilding, #PersonalGrowth, #LifelongLearning,https://www.buzzsprout.com/2222759/episodes/17490379

But, I realized I didn't need to study harder—I needed a system. That's when everything changed. In this video, I'll walk you through “The Grocery Store Analogy” and how shifting from chaos to a checklist transformed my learning and my results.

Notes: The Wrath of the Lamb – Understanding Bible ProphecySession Overview- Date: Sunday, June 1, 2025- Host: L. David Harris- Program: Your Daily Portion- Topic: How to Study Bible Prophecy – The Wrath of the Lamb- Platform: Online broadcast and community at yourdailyportion.com- Theme: The paradoxical concept of the "wrath of the Lamb" and its implications for believers and non-believers in the context of the end times.---Key Concepts and Sections1. The Paradox of the Wrath of the Lamb- Key Question: “What is the wrath of the Lamb?” - The Lamb is a symbol of Christ, traditionally seen as gentle and sacrificial. - The idea of a lamb expressing wrath is paradoxical and meant to provoke thought.- Quote: “Have you ever seen lambs or sheep? What does that even mean? Lamb, lambs, wrath. Like what?”- Study Tip: Use the analogy of a lion and a lamb – Christ is both gentle and mighty. In His final act of judgment, the Lamb becomes the Lion of Judah.2. Biblical Reference: Revelation 6:12–17- Main Scripture: “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake…” (Revelation 6:12)- Key Details: - Cosmic disturbances: darkened sun, blood-red moon - Earthquake and falling stars - People cry out to be hidden from the face of God and the wrath of the Lamb- Quote: “The face that should have been their comfort becomes their terror.”- Study Tip: Use the mnemonic “COSMIC JUDGMENT” to remember the signs – Cosmic events, Earthquake, Stars falling, Mountains and rocks, People hiding, Wrath, Lamb.3. Theological Insight: Christ's Sacrifice vs. Final Judgment- Jesus as the Sacrificial Lamb: - Silent before His accusers (Isaiah 53:7) - Took on the wrath of God for our sins- Contrast: - Jesus endured wrath to spare us from it. - Those who reject Christ will face the wrath of the Lamb in the final judgment.- Quote: “He died the death that we deserve so we can have the life that he deserves.”- Study Tip: Use the analogy of a courtroom – Jesus is both the Advocate and the Judge. He took the penalty so we wouldn't have to face it.4. The Final Rejection and Fear of God- Response of the Lost: - Recognize God's reality but do not seek mercy. - Cry out for hiding from the face of God and the Lamb. - Not repentant, only fearful.- Quote: “They recognize the truth but refuse to surrender to it.”- Connection to Adam and Eve: - Like Adam in the Garden, they hide in fear and shame. - Their separation is now irreversible.- Study Tip: Use the framework of “Hiding vs. Healing” – Those who rejected God's offer of salvation can no longer accept it and now fear His presence.5. Lesson 1: People Are Lost Not Because They Were Uninformed- Key Point: Final judgment is not due to ignorance, but rejection.- Quote: “People will be lost not because they were uninformed. There's no new information, but because they refused to believe.”- Study Tip: Use the phrase “Truth Delayed, Not Denied” to remember that God's patience is not a sign of cancellation.6. Lesson 2: Delay Is a Gift of Mercy- Key Point: God delays judgment to give people time to repent.- Quote: “Delay is a gift of mercy, not a cancellation of prophecy.”- Scripture Reference: 2 Peter 3:9 – “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”- Study Tip: Use the analogy of a pregnancy – Just because the baby isn't born yet doesn't mean it won't come. The delay is purposeful and full of hope.7. Lesson 3: Christ's Coming Will Be Sudden to the Unprepared- Key Point: The Second Coming will be unexpected for those not watching.- Quote: “Suddenly to those who are unprepared.”- Scripture Reference: Matthew 24:39 – “And they knew not until the flood came. Just like in Noah's day…”- Study Tip: Use the “Noah's Ark Analogy” – Just as only those inside were saved, only those in Christ will be ready.---Actionable Takeaways- Be Prepared: Watch and wait for Christ's return.- Share the Gospel: Delay is mercy; use the time to reach others.- Examine Your Heart: Are you hiding from God or drawing near to Him?- Seek Mercy While It's Available: The door will not remain open forever.---Study Tips and Memory AidsMnemonics- COSMIC JUDGMENT – Remember the signs in Revelation 6- Hiding vs. Healing – Understand the final response of the lostAnalogies- Lion and the Lamb – Christ is gentle now, but will be mighty in judgment.- Pregnancy Analogy – Delay is purposeful and full of hope.- Noah's Ark – Only those inside (in Christ) will be saved.Frameworks- Three Lessons from the Wrath of the Lamb: 1. People are lost not because they were uninformed, but because they refused to believe. 2. Delay is a gift of mercy, not a cancellation of prophecy. 3. Christ's coming will be sudden to the unprepared.Reflection Questions- Are you prepared for Christ's return?- Are you hiding from God or drawing near?- Are you using the delay as an opportunity to grow and share the Gospel?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/your-daily-portion-with-l-david-harris--2912188/support.

#169 – If you have ever found yourself thinking, “why does essay writing feel so hard?” you are not alone. In this episode, I share 5 reasons why essays often feel overwhelming, confusing or frustrating—and what you can do about each one. We will explore why you were never properly taught how to write essays, why traditional study methods often make things harder, and why high-stakes assignments leave no room for practice. You will also hear why outdated frameworks like PEEL are not helping you and how you might be working incredibly hard but not always in the most effective way. If essay writing feels like a slog, there is nothing wrong with you—you just need better support, clearer methods, and more strategic tools. I will also introduce you to my brand-new training, The Essay Fix, which is open for enrolment now. Tune in to learn practical shifts you can make right away to make essay writing feel easier, more focused and less overwhelming.

Deep into the school year, our teen council is immersed in school competitions for Model UN and their a capella group among other things. There is loads of homework as well. Listen to our crew discuss what they've been working on and how they do their best studying. Do they listen to music? Does it matter where they sit? And what to do about the distraction that is the phone. Listen to the discussion about these topics and more. Our teen council recorded the latest edition of Chowder Chat on April 14, 2025.
#168 – You're told to be an independent learner at university—but no one actually shows you how. In this episode, I'm unpacking why independent learning feels so hard at higher education level, especially if you're returning to study as an adult. You'll learn why the problem isn't your intelligence, motivation or potential—but the lack of proper support. I'll break down the myth of ‘just figuring it out', share the metaphor I use with my students to explain what's really going on, and walk you through what should happen instead. If studying still feels harder than it should be, this episode will help you understand why—and give you a clearer way forward.

#167 – You worked hard. You followed the guidance. You poured hours into your essay… and still didn't get the mark you hoped for. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm unpacking the only two reasons why your essay grades aren't higher—and why these problems have nothing to do with your intelligence, effort or potential. You'll learn how misunderstanding the question and writing at the wrong level are the most common (and fixable) reasons students lose marks. I'll walk you through the signs to look out for, the types of feedback that hint at these issues and the specific study skills that can turn things around. Whether you're aiming to pass confidently or push your marks higher, this episode will help you close the gap between the grade you got and the one you deserve.
