Exploring spaciousness as the ground of awakening, Jack Kornfield shows how peace, impermanence, and love are all born from the open heart.Today's podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/heartwisdom and get on your way to being your best self.“Meditation centers, temples, ashrams, and spiritual communities are in one fundamental way, places of peace, reminders of the peace and harmony possible for us in our lives.” – Jack KornfieldIn this episode, Jack mindfully explores:The Spacious Heart: The peace and pleasure found in meditation centers, temples, and ashrams, and how spaciousness becomes a refuge in our lives.Shifting Identity: The flexibility of consciousness and how opening beyond the body and self allows us to release ill-will and rest in freedom.Impermanence and Real Love: Stories from India and the Dalai Lama on happiness, letting go into love, and the humor of the “Bang Bang Bang Theory.”Beyond Self-Improvement: Spiritual practice not as fixing or perfecting ourselves, but as resting in our true nature, like the Buddha under the bodhi tree.The Seed of Equilibrium: Spaciousness as the core of awakening—learning balance in the dance of life, loving others without needing to change them, and finding coolness in nirvana.“It's possible to shift. Consciousness is really flexible and fabulous, it can create, expand, and touch anything. When our identity opens to something greater or more timeless, when we see the fleetingness and impermanence of this body that we cling to and realize this is not who we are, then something else becomes possible.” – Jack KornfieldExperience Jack's wisdom through his whimsical storytelling!

Buried on the border of Thailand and Myanmar, Shwe Kokko is a shimmering city of skyscrapers, casinos and fresh-laid highways. But peek a little closer and you'll see why it has become one of the world's criminal capitals — from razor-wire fences to keep in thousands of enslaved scammers, to armed rebel guards and a theme park where Chinese high-rollers can shoot military-grade weapons.Shwe Kokko is a gangster's paradise. But not any gangster: the brainchild of a Burmese warlord and his Triad kinpin partner, it is an emblem of Golden Triangle lawlessness — where drugs, scams and slaves are bartered like chickens, and where billions of dollars disappear into a gigantic dark market. And this year, it has even helped start an international conflict. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Bangkok Podcast | Conversations on Life in Thailand's Buzzing Capital
Diving into the differences between East & West, Greg and Ed discuss two famous cemeteries in Bangkok. Ed takes the Teochiew Chinese Cemetery off of Sathorn Road, and Greg talks about the Protestant Cemetery in the Baan Mai neighborhood not too far from Asiatique on Charoen Krung Road. Ed begins by explaining that Thai Buddhists in general practice cremation, and since most Thais are Buddhists, ‘cemeteries' in general are not really a Thai thing. However, multiple minorities throughout Thai history do bury their dead, so cemeteries exist for Christians, Muslims, and some Chinese communities. Ed starts off by discussing his visit to the famous Chinese cemetery roughly in between the Saphan Taksin and St. Louis BTS stations just off of Sathron Road. The cemetery traditionally catered to the Teochiew Chinese minority of which many immigrants to Thailand have been a member of and is more than 100 years old. Further, the cemetery has been made into a legitimate public park, creating an eclectic experience. It features many of the benefits of a park, such as exercise options and open public spaces, but also multiple religious monuments and a significant set of very old tombs, in the midst of a rather dense jungle. It somehow manages to be welcoming and foreboding at the same time. See the pictures below for examples. Taking a cue from a blog post he wrote several years ago about his visit, he notes that the Protestant Cemetery is more of a traditional Western Christian cemetery and does not function as a park. Its main appeal is its historic value, housing the remains of countless early expats to Siam in the 19th Century. As proud expats themselves (who even have a podcast on the subject!), the guys muse about what it must have been like to be one of the truly earliest Westerners in pre-modern Siam. Both cemeteries offer fascinating glimpses into unique immigrant communities that have played a role in Thai history.

Raising teens with financial wisdom (and boundaries) is no small task. Especially when we're trying to help our kids avoid the same disastrous mistakes we made! In this episode, I sit down with Ryan…friend, financial advisor, and father, to talk about some of the struggles (especially financial) that come with raising adult kids. We dive into:My kids college 529 savings account: What they are, how you get them, and how I helped my kids save for theirs.My two “keys” (ie rules) they must fulfill to access these accounts as adults.When and where I've let my kids struggle so that they can grow (and avoid the pitfalls I experienced).Why Marley is in Thailand on her humanitarian trip and how this connects to her financial and college future.What is a Roth IRA and how can we all start saving better for our kids' futures.Some of the hilarious and probably ridiculous (but hopefully effective) ways I'm teaching my kids to value money and real-life experiences.We talk about all things from finances to stuffing suitcases with mac & cheese and shampoo. It's part financial strategy, part parenting therapy… and all heart.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana speaks with Alessandro Grampa, serial impact entrepreneur, Buddhist practitioner, and founder of Whole Grain Wisdom. Alessandro shares his journey of building companies, facing burnout, navigating neurodiversity, and transforming his mental and physical health through mindfulness, biohacking, and quantum science. The conversation uncovers why so many entrepreneurs silently battle trauma, panic attacks, imposter syndrome, and exhaustion—and why the startup ecosystem often ignores founder well-being. Alessandro introduces the idea of the Quantum Founder—leaders who integrate mind, body, and energy for sustainable success. He also shares insights from his retreats, where entrepreneurs learn to release trapped trauma, regulate energy, and rebuild from the inside out. This is a must-listen if you're an entrepreneur, founder, or leader who wants to avoid burnout and embrace clarity, alignment, and conscious leadership. About the Guest : Alessandro Grampa is a serial impact entrepreneur, digital nomad, Buddhist practitioner, and founder of Whole Grain Wisdom. With over 11 years in startups, he now leads a mission to help founders integrate mental health, ancient wisdom, and quantum science into entrepreneurship. Whole Green Wisdom offers media, education, and retreats worldwide, with the next founder retreat scheduled in Thailand. Key Takeaways Trauma is often the hidden root of burnout, anxiety, and imposter syndrome in entrepreneurs. 3 out of 4 entrepreneurs are neurodiverse, making mental health support essential, not optional. Entrepreneurship can trap founders in cycles of overwork and identity loss—learning to become the entrepreneur of yourself is the first step toward healing. Burnout is not just tiredness; it's the body shutting down and rejecting unsustainable patterns. Successful founders protect their mental, physical, and energetic health as their greatest asset. Quantum leadership means aligning the three intelligences—brain, heart, and gut—for clearer decisions and resilience. Ancient wisdom is now being validated by modern science: energy regulation, coherence, and intuition are measurable and powerful for leadership. Whole Grain Wisdom retreats offer practical tools to release trauma stored in the body and design energy-based routines for high performance.

Mondays after a weekend of football just feel different. We've got some really nice weather ahead of us this week with a few showers possible tomorrow, but warm & sunny for the rest of the week. In the news this morning, a couple of people hit on the massive Powerball jackpot this weekend, two Marquette La Crosse players were killed in a car wreck on Friday night by the campus, and a wild story about a fugitive father in New Zealand who had been hiding in the woods with his three kids has been killed by authorities. In sports, the Brewers swept the Pirates this weekend, the Badgers got a nice win over Middle Tennessee on Saturday, the Packers took care of the Lions yesterday, last night's Sunday Night Football game between the Ravens & Bills was an instant classic, and a look at tonight's MNF matchup between the Vikings & Bears. Elsewhere in sports, Denny Hamlin got a win yesterday to make the Round of 12 in the NASCAR playoffs, we talked about the US Open winners, and the grudge between Bill Belichick & the Krafts seems to be getting worse by the day. Obviously, we talked about the Phillies Karen quite a bit this morning as she was ALL OVER social media. Unfortunately, nobody has been able to identify her with absolute certainty……yet. But the internet is coming for her. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and we talked a bit about last night's MTV VMA's and the tribute to Ozzy featuring Joe Perry & Steven Tyler of Aerosmith with Yungblud. Moo Deng has now been replaced by a new pygmy hippo that was just born at a zoo in Michigan, so you don't need to travel to Thailand to see one any longer, and a guy in New York is going viral for his inspiring signs. A look at how many trees it takes to make the world's toilet paper is making Brian think it's time for a bidet. Did you see the Missouri fan who had a shot at $25,000 for making a field-goal but risked it all to taunt opposing fans? And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about some women who robbed a TJ Maxx but decided to stop by a neighboring Wendy's instead of leaving the scene of the crime, a problem with Target's sweatpants, a #FloridaCouple who were hot-boxing their vehicle with a two-year-old kid in the car, a #FloridaMan who shot at a woman who mistakenly walked up his driveway, and a wedding guest who got cut-off at the bar and decided to punch the bride in the face.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Farmers are gearing up for the harvest, and that means it’s go-time for equipment prep. For some, that includes picking up used machinery at auction. Matt and Jim Gavin of Gavin Bros Auctions in Reedsburg tell Ben Jarboe that demand is strong and prices have held steady. More farmers are focusing less on brand loyalty and more on value. Today's Compeer Financial Ag Weather Update calls for a frost advisory before a warm-up, says Stu Muck. The apple harvest is rolling along at Sunrise Orchards in Gays Mills. Owner Brent Seiser tells Kiley Allan that while frost can be a challenge in both spring and fall, especially for late-harvested apples, this season is shaping up nicely. Have what it takes to be a Master Meat Crafter? Applications are open. Also, UW-River Falls students and staff spent some time in Thailand promoting Wisconsin dairy. You can also be a part of the love for Wisconsin dairy through the Art of Cheese Festival! This features a variety of cheese-themed events, including hands-on workshops, creamery tours, an artisan cheese fair, and cooking demonstrations, alongside culinary excursions and a large-scale cheese ball, Jessica Pralle-Trimner tells Pam Jahnke.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rising sea levels and a worldwide shortage of buildable land make the prospect of floating buildings and infrastructure more beneficial than ever. MAST is an architectural firm based in the southern harbour of Copenhagen in Denmark. Surrounded by shipbuilders and workshops, the MAST studio, run by two young passionate architects, devises and builds houses, community centres, saunas and whole neighbourhoods on water. While many of their projects can be seen on the waters of Copenhagen, the team is inspired by the long tradition of waterborne dwellings across the world and are currently working on constructions in Thailand, the Maldives, the USA , India and Portugal. Architecture critic and author Jonathan Glancey is invited to Copenhagen to see the studio in action and to travel out by boat to look at some of the completed projects.Presenter: Jonathan Glancey Producer: Susan Marling A Just Radio productionImage: MAST architects Marshall Blecher and Magnus Maarbjerg (Credit: Susan Marling)
We have hot wars in the Ukraine and Gaza. A border skirmish between Thailand and Cambodia, and an unknown potential for violence in Iran. Why do we find lasting peace so difficult in an age when the potential for devastating warfare is so great?
Sandra Wigren var i Thailand när tsunamin inträffade 2004. Hon överlevde katastrofen, men all död och allt lidande hon fick se drabbade henne hårt mentalt. Under några år led hon av svår posttraumatisk stress, något som kom att få förödande konsekvenser. Hon förlorade allt hon ägde och hamnade på samhällets botten. I många år handlade det om ren överlevnad. Sandra hamnade i Holland, föll ner i en djup depression, drogberoende och försökte till slut ta sitt liv.Men så slungades hon tillbaka till sin kropp, hon fick en andra chans. Ur en gnista som var starkare än någonting annat påbörjade hon livsresan in i healing och skapandet av sitt livsverk SoulFitness på en strand på paradisön Koh Lanta i Thailand. Med syfte är att lyfta människor från deras rädslor samt att ge insikt om mirakler och att allt är möjligt. Varmt välkomna till ”Så in i Själen”.

How a Boeing 777 can go missing with no verifiable physical remains makes MH 370 the greatest aviation incident ever above all previous mysteries, including Air France 447 and the infamous Amelia Earhart case. The data for what happened to MH 370 is both abundant and unstable. What appears to match the known data, and the most logical assessment of other facts, is the following scenario: the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea were the scene of a military exercise at the time of the flight's disappearance back in 2014 and 2 AWACS were monitoring the area. A pilot flying to Tokyo heard radio murmuring around the time of lost contact and the 370 co-pilot's phone made contact with a network 30min after the plane turned around and headed back towards Malaysia before turning again toward the Andaman Sea and Indian Ocean where, according to Inmarsat data, it flew south for several hours. The plane did not crash and one of the pilots apparently attempted to establish contact through alternative means, indicating the plane experienced no mechanical failures but lost communication as it was diverted. Many of the passenger's phones continued to ring after being called, something telecommunications companies had no comment on. One of the family members of the missing passengers claimed an intelligence operative approached him after going public and shared a tip that the U.S. government was fully aware of what happened. The FBI also sat on data for years before releasing it to the public or press. The satellite data for the plane's location came form Inmarsat, a UK company. Mysteriously, in the area of where the plane supposedly flew is a secretive joint US-UK military installation on Diego Garcia. Considering the presence of 20 employees from Freescale Semiconductor on board the plane flying to China, it is possible and probable that MH 370 was hijacked but likely via remote control and diverted to the military base in question, or another. What happened after could be similar to Project Northwoods. This scenario explains every piece of the puzzle. What surely did not happen was three orbs teleporting the plane, something con-artist online have sold like countless UFO scammer videos. Diego Garcia also, strangely, uses the phrase “Limuria is in our Charge,' a reference to the lost continent known as the sister of Atlantis. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Young athletes are trafficked into European soccer prison camps while crime syndicates launder billions. Chris Dalby reveals the dark underbelly of sports.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1204What We Discuss with Chris Dalby:Human trafficking is rampant in modern sports: Thousands of young athletes, particularly from Africa, are lured to Europe with false promises of professional contracts, only to end up exploited in "soccer prison camps" while families go into debt.An illegal sports betting empire thrives: A $1.7 trillion annual industry controlled by organized crime syndicates, primarily Asian groups operating from countries like Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand through sophisticated networks.Sneaky "spot fixing" corruption rigs games: Instead of fixing entire match results, players are paid to perform specific actions like getting yellow cards or missing shots, which are harder to detect but easier to execute.Gambling sponsor fronts operate in plain sight: Crypto and gambling companies dominate sports sponsorships worldwide, often serving as money laundering fronts, with some sponsors being illegal in their own team's countries.Solutions exist: Law enforcement can be trained to detect sports crime, integrity monitoring works (tennis has improved significantly), and awareness platforms help protect vulnerable young athletes from scams.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

This week, sex therapist Dr. Tara joins the conversation to break down why it's important to start talking about sex with kids as early as age 10—and why using medical terms helps remove shame. The discussion dives into everything from crygasms and squirting to the benefits of sexual meditation. Dr. Tara also opens up about her own journey from Thailand to the U.S., her career path, and her book How Do You Like It, which features quizzes and tools designed to boost sexual communication. Together, they explore the realities of maintaining intimacy after substance abuse, keeping the spark alive in long-term relationships, and how therapy and self-care can play a crucial role in healing from sexual trauma.Dr. Tara- WebsiteWatch Full Episodes & More:www.dumbblondeunrated.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
