Verse 77 this time. I call it ‘The Tao of Robin Hood,' who was an equalizer of his (mythical) day, like Tao is all the time. In its yin-yang algorithm, ‘just enough' is given to all, so no one lacks, and no one has more than enough. If another, ‘human tao' interfereswith ‘Heaven's Tao,' then the yin-yang balance actually takes from those with too much, and gives to those with not enough.In this episode Marc confesses his love of Marx's analytical power to understand big power issues (though he has no love for Marxism, or its actual practices in real time).We hear from lots of voices today: Thich Naht Hanh, The Buddha, Mick Jagger, Sun Tzu, and Herman Melville.

Awakening Together Presents Being Aware of Awareness Guided Meditations
In this episode, a quote from Thich Naht Hanh's book, The Heart of the Buddha's Teachings, was contemplated "Buddha advised, 'where there is perception, there's deception.' The Buddha also taught on many occasions that most of our perceptions are erroneous, and that most of our suffering comes from wrong perception. We have to ask ourselves again and again, 'am I sure?' Until we see clearly, our wrong perceptions will prevent us from having Right View."
Our choices have determined much of our life. Choose wisely.Happy Holidays!Give well, receive well. Be mindful of your Resolutions this year.

Hello to you Patrice Kealy listening in Montague, New Jersey! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.My teacher, the Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh lived deeply in each moment of daily life, a practice born of bearing the wounds of war and offering a lifetime of mindfulness training to lessen our suffering and restore our joy. His words sustain me in these times; they may do the same for you.This is what Thay taught: "Aware that life is available only in the present moment and that it is possible to live happily in the here and now, I am committed to training myself to live deeply each moment of daily life. I will try not to lose myself in dispersion or be carried away by regrets about the past, worries about the future, or craving, anger or jealousy in the present. I will practice mindful breathing to come back to what is happening in the present moment. I am determined to learn the art of mindful living by touching the wondrous, refreshing and healing elements that are inside and around me, and by nourishing seeds of joy, peace, love and understanding in myself, thus facilitating the work of transformation and healing in my consciousness."You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

Where's Astrology Airheads??? Well, they're still here but now that it's a solo act--Roz needed a name change--hence the new title and image Cosmos Connector. On this episode, I talk Cosmos News (thank goodness these retrogrades are almost over!) and share some details on what to expect during this first part of Aquarius season. Then I pay my respects the the "Father of Mindfulness" Thich Nhat Hanh who passed away in January. Thay was influential in bringing mindfulness to the west and was an advocate for peace and non-violence. I share a meditation in here and my apologies but I don try to sing one of the sangas too! Sorry!!! hahahahaLastly, I share just a snippet of an interview with my friends Lianne and Joseph Downey aka the Spirit Nerds. Joseph explains why they are Spirit Nerds and how science and spirituality need each other. The entire episode will air later this month.You can find me on IG @cosmosconnector or @astrologyairheads and the website astrologyairheads.comYou can reach out to Joseph and Lianne at https://jolibro.com/Here are the links to Thich Naht Hanh and Plum Village information https://plumvillage.org/Thanks to https://freesound.org/ for the cosmos soundfx and Lesfm artist Oleksii Kaplunskyi from Ukraine for the acoustic guitar music on Pixabay.

Am 22. Januar 2022 - es heißt um 00:00 Uhr - ist "Groß-Meister" Thich Nhat Hanh, im Alter von 95 Jahren, von dieser Erde gegangen. Dieser Podcast würdigt sein außergewönliches SEIN und TUN (siehe auch www.plumvillage.org). Im Zentrum stehen die "8 praktischen Anleitungen des Buddhas" zum achtsamen Atmen ... erläutert von Thich Naht Hanh (siehe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=O_iDaIAPrGo): 1) Aware of In-Breath and Out-Breath | 2) Follow your In-Breath and Out-Breath | 3) Aware of your Body | 4) Calm your Body ||| 5) Generate Joy | 6) Generate Happiness | 7) Aware of Pain | 8) Calm down Pain. Diese acht Übungen können unseren Alltag hilfreich begleiten ... gerade in diesen Zeiten. Ruhe der Meister in Frieden ... führe er uns mit seinem Geist ... jeder Atemzug zählt. Dein Andreas F. Philipp vom POSTDIGITAL
January 2022, one of the most influential Buddhist monks, transitioned to the next life. He was 95-years-old and after being ordained a monk at age 16, he went on to live a life dedicated to educating the world on peace and living compassionately. Dr. Pete discusses the role of death in eastern traditions, and what this means to his community. It made sense that Dr. Rubin would bring this episode to shed light on the tremendous impact he has had during this lifetime.

Join our community of Go(o)d Friends to deep dive into today's practice with me!In today's episode, you learn a practice that will help you abide in Love as you cross the bridge from your old life into a new one. Same Love, new LifeToday's Quote:"Be fully aware of your own being and you will be in Bliss consciously. Because you take your mind off yourself and make it dwell on what you are not, you lose your sense of well-being." -Nisargadatta Maharaj Today's Practice:Select a song from the list below (or a song choice of your own without words, that is uplifting), and find a room where you can be alone. 1. Press play (headphones are preferable) 2. Stand in the middle of the room, fold your hands in front of you (Namaskar), bow ever so slightly, and close your eyes (if you can safely-- ensure you have enough room). Using that body as an antenna for the Divine, you will automatically become aware of Love. It's a humbling posture. 3. Take slow, little steps, while repeating your inner 'thank yous', opening your eyes on occasion to check where you are in the room, so that you don't bump into anything. I take baby steps in little circles, very slowly. 4. Practice Love during the entire song, feeling Go(o)d in every step. Try to stay aware of Love for the WHOLE song. And when thoughts come, let them go and return to the 'thank you' mantra, the beautiful music, and the Love. Repeat the song at least once, if you have time! IMPORTANT: Let each step be taken in the feeling, the energy or vibration of Love. Do as Thich Naht Hanh says and KISS THE FLOOR with each and every step. You'll know you're doing it right if you are smiling! Let the music point you back to your inner smile, to the Love inside, to the Love that you are. Imagine each step is one taken across the bridge from your old life to your new one. New life, same Love. My favorite is first, but I love them all!

Today’s podcast is special. It is my 50th Podcast that I want to combine some of the components of other podcasts that can truly change your life, if you choose to implement some new practices. This podcast is for those who want to achieve a new perspective, to create a new Practice in moments of time to start to understanding how to control your mind, our thoughts and our emotions. We will include a Vagus nerve breathing technique that will automatically calm you or can use to calm a panic attack, and a mindfulness mediation to pull it all together. As Americans, we seem to accept that stress is a necessary part of life. But, it doesn’t need to or need to affect your health, if we can open up to ways of other cultures to draw from them to improve our way of life . We can keep the busy lifestyles but add mindfulness as we do it. We can have it both ways with improved health and vitality. The summary of today is: The fundamentals and foundations of mindfulness, the attitudes of mindfulness practice, and the history of mindfulness and how it emerged as a powerful force in our modern health care. 6 Specific techniques for practicing mindfulness in all hectic life activities, including breathing, walking, eating, exercising, listening, and dancing. And exercises and strategies for integrating mindfulness practice across the spectrum explored, especially with conditions like anxiety, trauma-related disorders, depression, and unresolved grief. In this podcast listeners can participate and learn the basics of mindfulness and meditation, consider its applications for enhancing quality of life. Mindfulness is an ancient meditation the practice of paying attention to your present moment experience, whether it be a sight, a sound, a taste, a smell, a sensation in the body, or mental activity includes both emotions and thoughts noticing life, absent of judgment, that can be practiced for a few moments or for a few minutes sitting in a doctor's office or on a park bench, standing in line or in a practice you can develop sitting for 15 minutes each day. THICH NAHT HANH is a Zen Buddhist author of THE MIRACLE OF MINDFULNESS, 92 yo teacher, and often referred to as the father of mindfulness in the West, he states: “Mindfulness is the miracle by which we masters restore ourselves”. In Western medical practice, mindfulness is described as a psychologic state, a practice of mindfulness meditation, and a mode of awareness. Other authors who focused on mindfulness: Ram Dass: Be Here Now teaching of "be here now" In Jon Kabot-Zinn's seminal work Wherever You Go, There You Are, he defines mindfulness as "paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the presence of the moment, and non-judgmentally" as if your life depended on it." There are SEVEN ATTITUDES OF MINDFULNESS- a Frameable copy of the seven Attitude of Mindfulness as a gift or Podcast 49. So lets put this all together in a meditation using these mindfulness skills. In podcast # 45 I explained Vagus Breathing as miracle way to stimulate the Vagus nerve in a 4 and 8 breathing that sends a calming chemical into your system for panic attacks or general calming. Create a space in your life for mindfulness practice. I suggest 15 min. find a place in your environment where you can create nice ambience, have a candle or a jewel or something special that make you love being there. Have your comfortable chair, that when you sit in it is makes you feel special. Once you establish this space it will draw you into a faster state of peace, just by being there. Remember to Practice the Skills shared today to actually live the new outcome for the benefits you will recieve. This is by no means a replacement for therapy of any medical attention if you need it. Always reach out and take care of yourself or if you are feeling like you want to hurt yourself, there is always someone standing by at 1800-273-8255 or call 911.

QUICK EPISODE OVERVIEWAs the election season concludes, Tracie asks April for advice on working through the negative emotions that sometimes accompany justice work. The two friends unpack the ways we've been taught to associate anger or rage with justice work (and anxiety with intelligence), and April shares suggestions for achieving the positive effects of BOTH feeling your feelings AND cultivating joy and presence.Find April and Tracie's full bios and submit topic suggestions for the show at www.JewsTalkRacialJustice.comLearn more about Joyous Justice where April is the founding and fabulous (!) director and Tracie is a senior partner: https://joyousjustice.com/Read more of Tracie's thoughts at bmoreincremental.comResources for further learning:Thich Naht Hanh on Dealing with Strong EmotionsRabbi David Jaffe's book Changing the World from the Inside OutDISCUSSION QUESTIONSHow have you been emotionally during this intense election season? How have you been balancing rage and anger with joy? April shares some of the healing modalities that she has cultivated. What healing modalities have you developed to get you to the other side of tough emotions and to move you towards what you want in the world? We learn from April that anger and other “negative” emotions can help us clarify what we want. How might tough emotions and experiences pave a path forward towards your goals and a better world? Can you think of an instance when you’ve had this mindset?In April’s practice, her anger is always honored and sacred. How do you honor your anger and hold it sacred? What do you do or tell yourself in these moments?When do you find it easier to cultivate joy or relaxation while experiencing tense emotions? When do you find it more difficult?April and Tracie bring up relaxation, curiosity, wonder, comfort, release, and relief among positive emotions like joy. Which ones resonate most with you and in which situations? Why?Tracie pointed out that the phrase “It shouldn’t have happened” is not useful in tough moments. How does the language you use to shape how you navigate tough realities? How might it better shape the direction you’re going in?

Quietmind Yoga: Full Length Yoga Classes with Jeremy Devens - Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin and Gentle
One of my favorite quotes comes from Thich Naht Hanh, a Vietnamese monk who won the Nobel Peace Prize. He would teach meditation by teaching to simply notice that you are breathing. "Breathing in, I notice I am breathing in. Breathing out, I notice I am breathing out." It's so simple, yet I have found it so profound. It was helpful for me to hear this reminder on my morning walk the other day, and I hope it is helpful for you as well. Today's practice is a similarly simple, straightforward practice that is well rounded and covers the essentials of Hatha practice in strength, balance and flexibility. Want to join me live for class?

In our busy lives we often spend more time checking off our to do list and getting on to the next task then we do actually experiencing the beauty and complexity of life. It's easy to take things for granted and miss the many opportunities for joy and fulfillment that are always available to us. When we learn to look deeply at ourselves, our relationships and the world around us, we find that gratitude and happiness arise naturally from within. This is the practice of mindfulness. Renee talks about learning to look deeply while on retreat with the Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh and gives some practical tips for living more fully by looking deeply right now. Please take a look at this amazing 9 billion pixel composite photo of the Milky Way taken at the ESO observatory in South America. Be sure to zoom in, and zoom in again. It's astounding.

"When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you. A joy." ~ Rumi How are you doing today? Are things going the way you want them to? Are you living the life of your dreams? Are you happy and content with your present state of being? More importantly, is your life filled with joy in this very moment? If you can answer “Yes”, to this last question, then you are a very blessed individual indeed. If not, no worries. Join the other 99.9% of people on the planet. That’s why we’re here today. We are going to explore some very practical ways to cultivate joy in your life and “Garden of Well-being. Have you ever really spent much time pondering how you might be able to be a happier person and live a more joyful life? Thich Naht Hanh points out, “The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive you will see it.” Well this bit of good news is truly encouraging…If we can learn to stay in the present moment. We would do well to remember however, that Joy and Happiness are two very different animals. Happiness is fleeting. It is capricious, and depends on outer circumstances, events and situations which and can come and go at a moment’s notice. Just so you know, there is nothing inherently wrong with happiness. I hope you are filled to the brim with happiness in this very moment of your life. On the other hand, let us consider Joy. Where Happiness is a feeling which comes and goes, Joy is an underlying state of being. Unlike Happiness, it cannot be contrived or captured. It is like beautiful bird or butterfly: wild and free. You can’t catch it and take it captive. You have to allow it land to on you. You can’t try to hold onto it or it will die or fly away. Unlike happiness that can be “contrived”, joy is a state of mind, a reveling in the goodness of the present moment. When you have learned to cultivate Joy you are filled with deep satisfaction, pleasure and elation in the now. This means being content with whatever your situation, and recognizing a higher state than that of Happiness. So how does one go about cultivating Joy in one’s life? Well, at the risk of sounding like I am contradicting what I just said about not being able to contrive or capture or “make” Joy happen in one’s life, there are some things you can do to put yourself in Joy’s way. You are probably here today because you love Nature and spending time outside. Depending on where you live, as the days are getting colder and shorter, it can grow more and more challenging to step outside our comfort zone and get outdoors. Spending time outdoors is so vital to a sense of well-being. One of our favorite outdoor activities when it’s cold outside is to bundle up real warm in layers, and take the dogs, (all three of them), and the horse, (if there’s not too much snow on the ground), for a nice brisk walk down the lane and out along the trail by the lake… The clear, cold air and the tranquil scenery with the snow-covered mountains in the background is so invigorating and brings such a feeling of euphoria that I can’t help but experience a deep sense of joy. No matter what else is going on in my life at the time. There is something about connecting with the natural world that boosts everything that is good within in us another notch higher. It is Vitamin N for the soul. This, in conjunction with Meditation is the miracle drug. We know from clinical studies that meditation has been shown to offer a plethora of natural health benefits, including lowered blood pressure, better sleep, a reduction of stress, headaches, chronic muscle fatigue, aches and pains and even depression and coronary artery disease. When you combine the two, the effects can be phenomenal. So, if you want more joy in your life, put yourself in the way of this dynamic duo of natural goodness… Again, remember what Thich Naht Hanh said, “The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive you will see it.” It is time for us to intentionally focus a few minutes on our day in being attentive, and awaken to joy. The more we practice the better we get at it, and the more time our lives will be filled with this wonderful state of well-being But before we begin, I just want to share a story Mark Nepo tells in his classic, The Book of Awakening. “It is said a great Zen teacher asked an initiate to sit by stream until he heard all the water had to teach. After days of bending his mind around the scene, a small monkey happened by, and, in one seeming bound of joy, splashed about in the stream. The initiate wept and returned to his teacher, who scolded him lovingly, ‘The monkey heard. You just listened.’” So today as we practice in our meditation and listen, be sure to not just “Listen”. Make it your intention to “Hear”. And when you do, jump all the way in and splash in the stream with joy…

El arte de vivir conscientes. Las enseñanzas del maestro Thich Naht Hanh por Concha Barranco y Antonio Jiménez PARTE 1 de 2, que tuvo lugar en Espacio Ronda (Madrid) el 7 de Junio 2016. Conferencia pública a cargo de Concha Barranco, Facilitadora de la Sangha Amanecer en Madrid acompañada de practicantes de las sanghas madrileñas Thich Nhat Hanh, también conocido como Thay (maestro en vietnamita), nació en el Vietnam central en 1926. A la edad de 16 años ingresó en el monasterio zen Tu Hieu, cerca de Hue. La guerra de Vietnam enfrentó a los monasterios a la difícil cuestión de decidir si llevar una vida contemplativa y dedicarse solo a la meditación en los monasterios o ayudar a sus conciudadanos que sufrían los bombardeos continuos y la devastación de la guerra. Thay fue uno de los que decidió hacer ambas cosas, ayudando a fundar el movimiento llamado “Budismo comprometido”. Durante el curso 1962-1963 Thich Nhat Hanh estudió y enseñó en las universidades de Princeton y Columbia. En 1964 fundó la Universidad Budista Van Hanh en Saigón y en 1965 la Escuela de Jóvenes para el Servicio de Ayuda Social (SYSS), una organización de ayuda para la reconstrucción de los pueblos y aldeas bombardeadas. Tras visitar los Estados Unidos en 1966 en misión de paz, se le prohibió su vuelta a Vietnam, iniciando un exilio que duró cuarenta años. Durante su estancia en los Estados Unidos, Thay pidió a Martin Luther King que se opusiera públicamente a la guerra de Vietnam. King se convirtió en un firme opositor de esta guerra y al año siguiente nominó a Thich Nhat para el Premio Nobel de la Paz. En 1982 fundó Plum Village, una comunidad budista en el sur de Francia, donde continuó su trabajo de ayuda a colectivos desfavorecidos mientras ofrecía sus enseñanzas a un número cada vez mayor de personas. Bajo su dirección espiritual, Plum Village ha pasado de ser una pequeña granja a convertirse en uno de los monasterios budistas occidentales más activos. Allí residen más de 200 monjas y monjes que reciben a decenas de miles de visitantes cada año. En los últimos diez años Plum Village ha abierto monasterios en Nueva York, California, Vietnam, París, Hong Kong, Tailandia, Mississippi y Australia y el primer Instituto Europeo de Budismo Aplicado en Alemania. Concepción Barranco, alumna del venerable maestro zen Thich Naht Hanh, contactó con sus enseñanzas en el año 2007. Se inicio en la meditación en el año 1991. Ha practicado en otras tradiciones budistas. Fundadora y facilitadora de la Sangha Amanecer en Madrid. Aspirante a la Orden del Interser. Responsable del área de “Budismo Comprometido” en la Comunidad Budista del Interser Española. Actualmente desarrolla una iniciativa para intentar llevar la práctica de la atención plena a colectivos en riesgo de exclusión y a personal técnico de proyectos sociales. ————————— Puedes ver el video completo de esta conferencia en: http://television.mindalia.com/vivir-conscientes-las-ensenanzas-de-thich-naht-hanh-por-concha-barranco-y-antonio-jimenez-parte-1/ http://www.espacioronda.com http://www.mindalia.com – La Red Social de Ayuda a través del Pensamiento http://www.mindaliaradio.com – La Radio del Pensamiento Positivo http://www.circulosdeayuda.com Los videos de esta y otras conferencias y entrevistas de interés en http://www.mindaliatelevision.com Puedes escuchar este y otros audios en http://mindaliacomradio.ivoox.com

El arte de vivir conscientes. Las enseñanzas del maestro Thich Naht Hanh por Concha Barranco y Antonio Jiménez PARTE 1 de 2, que tuvo lugar en Espacio Ronda (Madrid) el 7 de Junio 2016. Conferencia pública a cargo de Concha Barranco, Facilitadora de la Sangha Amanecer en Madrid acompañada de practicantes de las sanghas madrileñas Thich Nhat Hanh, también conocido como Thay (maestro en vietnamita), nació en el Vietnam central en 1926. A la edad de 16 años ingresó en el monasterio zen Tu Hieu, cerca de Hue. La guerra de Vietnam enfrentó a los monasterios a la difícil cuestión de decidir si llevar una vida contemplativa y dedicarse solo a la meditación en los monasterios o ayudar a sus conciudadanos que sufrían los bombardeos continuos y la devastación de la guerra. Thay fue uno de los que decidió hacer ambas cosas, ayudando a fundar el movimiento llamado “Budismo comprometido”. Durante el curso 1962-1963 Thich Nhat Hanh estudió y enseñó en las universidades de Princeton y Columbia. En 1964 fundó la Universidad Budista Van Hanh en Saigón y en 1965 la Escuela de Jóvenes para el Servicio de Ayuda Social (SYSS), una organización de ayuda para la reconstrucción de los pueblos y aldeas bombardeadas. Tras visitar los Estados Unidos en 1966 en misión de paz, se le prohibió su vuelta a Vietnam, iniciando un exilio que duró cuarenta años. Durante su estancia en los Estados Unidos, Thay pidió a Martin Luther King que se opusiera públicamente a la guerra de Vietnam. King se convirtió en un firme opositor de esta guerra y al año siguiente nominó a Thich Nhat para el Premio Nobel de la Paz. En 1982 fundó Plum Village, una comunidad budista en el sur de Francia, donde continuó su trabajo de ayuda a colectivos desfavorecidos mientras ofrecía sus enseñanzas a un número cada vez mayor de personas. Bajo su dirección espiritual, Plum Village ha pasado de ser una pequeña granja a convertirse en uno de los monasterios budistas occidentales más activos. Allí residen más de 200 monjas y monjes que reciben a decenas de miles de visitantes cada año. En los últimos diez años Plum Village ha abierto monasterios en Nueva York, California, Vietnam, París, Hong Kong, Tailandia, Mississippi y Australia y el primer Instituto Europeo de Budismo Aplicado en Alemania. Concepción Barranco, alumna del venerable maestro zen Thich Naht Hanh, contactó con sus enseñanzas en el año 2007. Se inicio en la meditación en el año 1991.

Hi. How are you? I hope well. Me? Also well, thank you for asking. What you’ll find here are a couple of self-improvement mini podcasts. It’s just me…expressing thoughts mitigated by life, by readings, by spiritual podcasts, and by experiences. Interspersed will be lovely meditation music. Then, I’m going to close the whole thing by attaching my favorite mini-meditation, “F*ck That: A Guided Meditation,” by Jason Headley, which is available on YouTube as a video and iTunes as audio only. I’ve been seeing quite a few posts, articles, and reports regarding, in essence, “Things (not) to do to be a better/the best parent/partner.” Healthy doses of unequivocal, dismissive, judgmental, “I’m/We’re right” and “You’re/They’re wrong.” And while I’m a certified master of such endeavors (…lest this kettle be caught once again calling the pot black…), my goals are to be less certain when certainty is impossible (…which, regarding human behavior, relationships, and emotions, is nearly always…), more accepting when acceptance seems unprincipled, and keep my ears and eyes open more than my mouth. Thus the, “Take care of yourself” mini. I’ve also spent time driving, sitting, running, and hiking with the podcasts of Jack Kornfield, Thich Naht Hanh, and Ram Dass…and these men spend considerable time focused on personal responsibility, mindfulness, loving-kindness, and the reality of the universe beyond our sensory experiences. Thus the, “Heal yourself” mini. I also don’t want to take any of this too seriously. To be earnest is human, but to be cheeky is divine. Thus the, “Fuck That” guided meditation. I also recently realized that the second word of my last name, “Del Duca,” or “of the duke” in translation, is homophonic with the Sanskrit word, “Dukkha,” which translates as suffering, anxiety, stress, or discontentment. So, Del Dukkha would mean: of the suffering, anxiety, stress, or discontentment. And that, ladies and gentleman, is a coincidence that hits very close to homophone. We present to you, “Take Care, Let Go, F*ck That.”
