The Green Elephant in the Room: Solutions To Restoring the Health of People and the Living Planett
From Colorado's Blue Lakes Trail limiting hikers to 40 per day, to Bhutan charging tourists $200 daily just to exist in the country, this episode explores the uncomfortable truth about environmental protection: the solutions that actually work all involve saying NO. We examine successful tourism limits from the Galápagos Islands to Antarctica, revealing how permits, quotas, and fees are preserving ecosystems while mass tourism destinations collapse under their own popularity. The evidence is overwhelming—places like Thailand's Maya Bay and Mount Everest show what happens when we prioritize unlimited access over protection.But here's the breakthrough insight environmentalists are missing: tourism limits have broader political support than almost any other environmental policy. Even people who oppose carbon taxes will fight to protect their favorite hiking spots from overcrowding. Tourism restrictions work politically because the problem and solution are both visible and immediate—unlike abstract climate policies, everyone understands not wanting paradise destroyed by crowds. This could be our gateway to normalizing environmental protection that actually requires limits on consumption.The episode reveals how accepting permits for wilderness areas could lead to accepting limits everywhere else. From Hawaii's new green fees funding climate adaptation to the Netherlands' A-E scoring system for flights, tourism policy is quietly teaching people that environmental protection requires sacrifice. We're not just saving hiking trails and coral reefs—we're changing how people think about growth, limits, and what's worth protecting. Tourism restrictions could be the trojan horse for climate action that actually works.A CALL TO ACT: Comprehensive Database of Eco-SolutionsTRUMPING TRUMP Database for the New American Resistance RevolutionEpisode WebpageEpisode 36: Touching on Similar Themes — 1.

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
The Halacha below was derived from multiple classes orated by Rabbi Eli Mansour in the Bekiim B'Halacha series. Click on any of the dates below to hear the original audio files, which are the sources for today's Halacha below. 05-20-2025 ; 05-21-2025 ; 05-22-2025 Should One Maintain Constant Awareness of the Tefillin While Wearing Them? This Halacha explores a fundamental aspect of wearing Tefillin: the requirement to remain mentally aware of the Tefillin while they are on. What level of concentration does Halacha demand? Does distraction invalidate the Misva? And what daily practices help us meet this obligation? We will examine opinions from the Rambam, Ben Ish Hai, and other Poskim, along with practical examples of proper behavior while wearing Tefillin. Maintaining this awareness is not simply about reverence. It reflects a deep, continuous bond with Hashem during the time the Tefillin are worn. The focus required is not only external respect—like refraining from laughter or lightheadedness—but also internal mindfulness. This internal state expresses the core idea that Tefillin are not just objects we wear; they are active symbols of our devotion and submission to Hashem. What Does "Hesah Hadaat" Mean When It Comes to Tefillin? The Torah commands us to wear Tefillin as a sign between us and Hashem. But the Sages further teach that while the Tefillin are on a person's body, one must maintain a level of awareness and reverence toward them. This is called Hesah Hadaat – a lapse of focus or consciousness. According to the Rambam and the stringent view followed by Maran and the Ben Ish Hai, a person should maintain constant awareness of the Tefillin and avoid any activities or behaviors that reflect frivolity or lightheadedness. This includes joking, social banter, or idle chatter. Even while praying The Amidah, where the focus is technically on the words of the prayer, one must avoid mentally wandering to unrelated topics. That too is considered Hesah Hadaat . However, other Rishonim, like the Rosh and the Tur, take a more lenient approach. They argue that as long as a person is not engaging in disrespectful or lightheaded behavior, it is acceptable to be mentally occupied with mundane matters. They draw proof from the Halacha that one may sleep while wearing Tefillin, implying that constant cognitive attention is not required. Nonetheless, the accepted practice, especially among Sepharadim, is to follow the stricter opinion of the Rambam—that mental focus must be retained throughout the duration of wearing Tefillin. Can One Drive with Tefillin On? This question highlights a common dilemma: If a person wants to fulfill the custom of arriving at the synagogue already wearing Tefillin, can he put them on at home and drive to Shul? On one hand, driving demands attention and would seem to constitute Hesah Hadaat . On the other hand, the act of driving is not inherently disrespectful, and it would be only for a short time. Moreover, entering the synagogue already wearing Tefillin brings great merit—the angels escort such a person. Therefore, while ideally one should avoid this situation, there is room to be lenient and allow driving to Shul with Tefillin on, especially for a short drive, relying on the lenient opinions in the Rishonim. How Long Is a "Lapse" That Counts as Hesah Hadaat? Some authorities define Hesah Hadaat as lasting the time it takes to walk four Amot (approximately 6-7 feet), which equates to just a few seconds. Others extend the timeframe to the time it takes to walk 100 Amot—about 54 seconds. In practice, a person should try to "check in" mentally at least every minute. If one finds himself mentally distracted for longer than a minute while wearing Tefillin, that could constitute a lapse. Talking, joking, or daydreaming while wearing Tefillin is highly discouraged. What Practices Help Avoid Hesah Hadaat? Touching and Kissing the Tefillin: It is customary to touch the Tefillin during key parts of prayer when they are mentioned (e.g., Ukeshartam Le'ot ). One should then kiss their fingers. This is an expression of love and awareness. Holding the Shalyad: The Ben Ish Hai recommends holding the Tefillin Shel Yad (the arm Tefillin) throughout the Shema to increase awareness and prevent distraction. Avoiding Idle Talk: Many righteous individuals accept upon themselves not to speak at all while wearing Tefillin, especially outside of prayer-related matters. Custom Visual Cues: Some communities place the word "Tefillin" at the top of their Siddur pages to help maintain awareness. Short Reminders During Prayer: Quietly repeating to oneself, "I am wearing Tefillin," during pauses in prayer can serve as a mental reset to regain focus. Summary Maintaining awareness of the Tefillin while wearing them is a Torah value with practical consequences. According to the Rambam and Maran, mental focus must be retained the entire time, even during prayer. Distractions such as joking, daydreaming, or unrelated conversation are inappropriate. Practices like touching the Tefillin, visual cues, holding the Shel Yad during Shema, and mentally checking in throughout the prayer service can help fulfill this obligation and elevate the experience of this precious Misva.

Freddie Sayers, UnHerd's Editor-in-Chief, interviews journalist Michael Tracey to unpack the recent Jeffrey Epstein files news, and the use and proliferation of conspiracy theories.The Trump administration's hyped-up promise of explosive Epstein revelations, including a “client list,” has fallen flat. The Department of Justice and FBI now confirm there is now list and Epstein's death was indeed suicide, pushing back against years of wild speculation. Michael examines whether Trump, JD Vance, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino, naively, or cynically, fuelled Epstein conspiracy theories – namely, that “Epstein didn't kill himself”, and more – to rally their base, only to now face flak for either hiding the truth or admitting there was nothing to reveal.Freddie and Michael draw parallels with the JFK files, where declassification also disappointed, offering little new insight. Touching on Israel, UFOs, the military industrial complex, they explore how Trump's administration has leaned into conspiracies for political gain and now faces the fallout when the “truth” underwhelms.

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
The Halacha below was derived from multiple classes orated by Rabbi Eli Mansour in the Bekiim B'Halacha series. Click on any of the dates below to hear the original audio files, which are the sources for today's Halacha below. 04/08/25 ; 04/09/25 ; 05/05/25 ; 05/06/25 Should the Yud of the Tefillin Shel Yad Be Touching the Bayit—And How Critical Is Its Placement? The Tefillin Shel Yad is wrapped around the arm and tied with a knot shaped like the Hebrew letter Yud, positioned near the Bayit (box). This Yud is not merely decorative; it carries both Halachic and Kabbalistic importance. But how close must it be to the box? Does its position affect the validity of the Misva? And what happens if it slips out of place during prayer? What Is the Yud on the Tefillin Shel Yad? The Torah uses the phrase "Totafot"—frontlets—when referring to Tefillin. The Halacha teaches that this word alludes to four Parashiot (Torah passages) placed in the Shel Rosh, but also connects to the name of Hashem. The Name of Hashem, as reflected in the Tefillin, appears through the knot of the Shel Yad shaped like a Yud, the shape of the knot of the Shel Rosh (a Dalet), and the Shin embossed on the Shel Rosh. Together, these letters spell out "Shaddai," one of the sacred Names of Hashem. According to Kabbala, this structure must be complete and properly aligned, or it interrupts the spiritual flow the Tefillin are meant to draw. But aside from the Kabbalistic implications, there are real Halachic consequences if the Yud is not properly positioned. Must the Yud Be Touching the Bayit? Yes. The Yud must rest against the Bayit, and the knot should be snug and stable. The Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 27:2) rules that the Yud must not be separated from the box, even by a small space. The Yud is part of the Halachic identity of the Tefillin. According to the Hida (Birkei Yosef), if the Yud is not close to the Bayit—if it slips down the strap or hangs loosely—the Tefillin may be considered Pasul (invalid), especially during the Beracha. To fulfill the Misva properly, one must ensure at the time of the Beracha and binding that the Yud is tight and resting directly against the base of the box. Does It Invalidate the Tefillin If the Yud Moves During Tefila? If the Yud is touching the Bayit when the Beracha is recited and the Tefillin are put on, but it later shifts slightly during prayer, this does not invalidate the Misva. The critical moment is the initial placement and blessing. However, if a person notices that the Yud has slipped or become completely separated during prayer, it is appropriate to adjust it immediately and discreetly. There's no need to repeat the Beracha unless it was clearly never positioned properly to begin with. In fact, it is a good practice to check the Yud each morning before putting on the Tefillin. Make sure the loop is tight and that the knot is secure. If the knot is loose or keeps sliding, it may need to be retied by someone knowledgeable in Tefillin construction. Can the Yud Be Placed Under or Behind the Bayit? The Yud should rest alongside the Bayit, not behind it and not underneath. If it is placed underneath the base—wedged between the box and the arm—it may cause the Bayit to sit at an angle, or lift it slightly, which is improper. The Bayit must sit flat against the bicep, not propped up or tilted. The Yud should hug the corner of the Bayit—visible and aligned, not tucked away or hidden. Some people mistakenly wrap the strap in a way that presses the Yud underneath or squeezes it behind the box. This not only distorts the alignment, but also reduces the visibility and symbolic meaning of the Yud. What If the Yud Is Missing or Not Formed Properly? If the Yud is missing altogether—or if the strap is tied in a way that does not resemble the letter Yud—then the Tefillin Shel Yad is invalid. The form of the knot must clearly resemble a Yud. This is why it's important that the knot is tied by a qualified sofer or expert, and not altered by someone unfamiliar with the laws. Even well-meaning adjustments can result in a shape that does not fulfill the Halachic requirement. Also, over time, straps wear out. The corner may fray or stretch, and the Yud shape may become unclear. A person should periodically inspect the Tefillin or bring them to a sofer for checking. How Tight Should the Knot Be? The strap and knot should be tight enough to keep the Yud securely in place, but not so tight that it pulls or deforms the shape of the Bayit. There is a balance between tightness and comfort. One should feel the firmness, but also be able to move the arm normally. Excessive tightness is unnecessary—and even harmful to the Tefillin and to circulation. Summary - The Yud must be placed directly next to the Bayit of the Tefillin Shel Yad. - This position is Halachically required, not just symbolic or aesthetic. - If the Yud slips after the Beracha, the Misva remains valid, but it should be adjusted. - The Yud should be visible and rest on the side of the Bayit, not under or behind it. - A missing or malformed Yud invalidates the Tefillin Shel Yad. - The strap should be tight enough to hold the Yud in place, but not overly tight.

Since 2022 we've kept an ear to what Pasadena native Bellez has been putting out following his debut project “Scot-Free”. We had the pleasure this week of welcoming him to the podcast for episode 262 where we were able to dive deeper into his longstanding journey to this point! Being around music early on he told us about his love for Pasadena and the many memories created with his father through the family music store while also being introduced to rapping and song writing coming up. Touching on his journey as an artist he described the importance of following his own personal timing to put his first body of work out there after many years of changes in his life and career. During the process he also touched on how vital people like R8dio, Hit-Boy and Jansport J were in the process by allowing him to soak in positive and creative energy within their many studio sessions. This energy also carried over to his 2024 effort “Life.Death.Somewhere Between…” and the next batch of music he's set to release in the second half of this year. Among those releases will include a 4 track EP and a full length album that's set to feature a lot of his close friends and collaborators within the local music scene. We're thrilled to have had this convo with Bellez and am excited to keep supporting his work moving forward!

How might we respond, as Buddhists, to the emerging environmental crises facing the planet? Gunopeta explores the implications of what happens when we open our hearts to our deep emotional response to these crises. With the aid of guided meditation, poetry, ritual, and our felt connection to nature and the holiness of place, we can learn to "touch the Earth with love."

The scholarly monk Analayo says it is important for us, as Buddhists, to take care of nature as we take care of our own body. We have a responsibility, he says, to cause no harm and to respond to the climate crisis with mindfulness, ethics and compassion. Saddhavasini introduces a guided Karuna Bhavana for the natural world designed to bring you close to the suffering of our natural world and to cultivate the metta and compassion needed to meet and address that suffering with skillful action.

Episode 272 is about " Touching Your Dreams" with passion and purpose. In this episode, we discuss the dreams you're pursuing and four tips to keep you on the path to achieving them. I have a question for you. What is one dream you're pursuing right now? What is something on your vision board that you are working toward? Maybe it is the following: The dream job The dream relationship The dream home The dream car The dream vacation Personal fulfillment Volunteering your time Financial Freedom How are you doing in reaching your dreams? Most of us have a vision of that dream. The question is, what are you doing to touch it so you keep pursuing it? When is the last time you touched your dreams? When I say, 'Touch your dreams,' I mean taking tangible steps toward them. A few examples, like if you have a dream vacation you're working on for you and your family. To touch that dream, you book one night at the closest resort, so you know how it feels. It keeps you in touch with pursuing that dream vacation. Or it's a dream house you have envisioned. Realizing this dream will take some time. You could book an Airbnb for the weekend to a similar place every few months. You start to feel what it will be like in your dream home. It keeps you touching your dreams. Or, if your dream is to serve others and volunteer more, you could work at a dog shelter, senior center, or helping kids. You don't have a day but may have two hours to donate. Why Emotional Connection Matters When you emotionally connect to your dream, it becomes more than just a target to hit. It evolves into an energy source, fueling your workday and lifting you beyond setbacks. But how do you truly connect with a goal that feels distant or abstract? Believe in Yourself Believing in yourself is among the most important factors when pursuing your dreams. If you don't believe in yourself, you will likely find it difficult to find others who do. Self-belief is crucial because it can help you stay focused and motivated during tough times and better handle your challenges. If you aren't sure where to start, ask yourself: What do I want to do with my life? What makes me happy? What are my passions? What do I want to contribute to the world? Why do I want to do this? What are my strengths and weaknesses? How can I use my strengths to my advantage What do I need to do to achieve my dreams? Once you are clear on your dreams, let's pursue them with these four actionable steps. 1. Create Mini Experiences of Your Dream Want to experience what it's like to achieve your goal? As we discussed earlier, create small-scale experiences that bring it to life. 2. Visualize Specific Outcomes Visualization is key. It's a proven technique that activates your brain's reticular activating system. You will start to notice opportunities that align with your goals. Each morning, spend five minutes envisioning yourself achieving your dreams. How does it feel? What does success look, feel, and sound like? The more vivid the imagery, the more powerful your connection becomes. 3. Celebrate Progress It's easy to focus solely on the goal and forget to acknowledge how far we have come. But Progress is Progress, no matter how small. Celebrate it. Each step forward is a victory, and each victory brings you closer to your dream. 4. Revisit Your "Why" Frequently Every goal has a root why. Whether it's financial freedom, professional recognition, or providing for your family, reconnect with the deeper reason you're chasing your dream. Print your "why" as your phone and computer screen saver. You'll see it daily or use it as inspiration during challenging times. Your Dreams Are Worth Chasing Achieving your dream isn't about waiting until "someday." It's about taking purposeful steps to manifest it today. You can transform your aspirations into actionable realities by creating mini experiences, visualizing outcomes, and staying emotionally connected to your goals. Remember, the pursuit of your dreams is the fuel that drives both personal and professional growth. Don't settle for less when you can achieve so much more. Are you ready to turn your aspirations into achievements? Take the first step today. Whether it's reaching out for help, setting a small goal, or simply reaffirming your commitment, the first step is always the most important. You have the power to make it happen. You are ready, and you can do it. Until next time, Keep Touching Your Dreams! Connect with Lisa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisathal/ http://threewordmeetings.com http://threewordpodcast

Welcome back to Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick. In today's episode, Michael sits down with Tara Owens, author of Embracing the Body: Finding God in Our Flesh and Bone, for a rich conversation about the intersection of faith, embodiment, and the profound ways our physical selves connect us to God. Together, they explore how centuries of Christian teaching have shaped our views of the body, often separating the spiritual from the physical, and what it looks like to reclaim embodied living as part of spiritual wholeness.Tara shares deeply from her own story, reflecting on the journey toward befriending her body, wrestling with illness, and moving beyond inherited theologies that diminish the goodness of our physicality. Michael and Tara discuss the ongoing relevance of Jesus's embodiment—his exhaustion, pain, and friendships—and how this shapes our understanding of being human and spiritual.Touching on themes like Gnosticism, church history, touch deprivation in our society, and the real-life struggles of finding God amid physical limitations, this episode is a vulnerable invitation to embrace the sacredness of our skin and bones.Whether you're curious about embodiment, recovering from damaging messages about your body, or simply longing for a deeper spiritual connection, this conversation illuminates the wholeness available when we find God not despite our bodies but through them. Plus, Tara offers insights into her ministry, Anam Cara, and the role of spiritual direction in nurturing soulful friendship with God.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!
Join Lisa and Laura for our series Names of God. In biblical times, names were of great importance—they conveyed a person's essence, history, nature, or character. As we explore the various names of God in the Old Testament, we gain insight into His character. With each name, we will learn a new attribute, deepening our understanding of and growing closer to God. In today's episode, we explore our sixth name, Jehovah Shammah—the Lord is There. This is a great name of God to call on when you feel like everything is dark, when you feel hopeless, when you feel unbearably alone or abandoned. It's also good for those times when you feel stuck, or even imprisoned, by hard circumstances. If you are nodding your head to any of this, grab your Bible (a notepad and pen aren't a bad idea either) because this is the episode for you! Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Revelation 21:3: He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Deuteronomy 4:37: By his Presence and his great strength. (NIV) Book of Ezekiel John 16:7: It is better for you that I go. 2 Chronicles 5:13–14: The house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God. Romans 12:2: Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may demonstrate what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Isaiah 63:9: In all their affliction he was afflicted. Psalm 34:18: The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in spirit. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. Do I believe that Jehovah Shammah empathizes with me? Do I believe that the things that trouble me also trouble Him? If the answer is no, ask the Lord to reveal why. Why don't I believe? What is the wound keeping me from recognizing Your presence? (Do this reflection in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, if possible!) Ask the Lord, do the things that trouble me trouble You? And sit in silence and listen to Him speak to you. Show mentions. Heart of Vines Summer Book Club starting in July!

What if our most subtle awareness could be both deeply personal and seamlessly connected to all of life?In this rich and nuanced conversation, Judith Blackstone shares insights from her decades of teaching the Realization Process—a nonsectarian path to embodying nondual awareness. Touching on themes of individuality, resonance, psychological healing, and the tactile texture of consciousness, the dialogue gently challenges assumptions about separation and unity. Judith speaks from lived experience, offering a grounded and precise way to attune to what she calls "fundamental consciousness"—a still, luminous field that both contains and liberates the contents of our being. The conversation also explores how awareness can inhabit the body fully, how spiritual bypassing can undermine growth, and how love may underlie even our most complex emotions.Learn more about Judith and the Realization Process: https://realizationprocess.org Hosted on Acast.
