Consider this four-part series a gradual entry into shikantaza, the foundational meditation practice of our school of Zazen. Facilitated by Kodo Conlin, this course is designed sequentially for both experienced and first-time meditators: we develop our skills of awareness to include all aspects of our experience, one at a time. We begin with awareness of the breathing, proceeding to include, one by one, practices for wise awareness of the body, emotions, and thinking. This gradual approach is meant to support the cultivation of a clear, wise relationship to all aspects of our experience, with nothing left out. Finally, we enter shikantaza—just wholeheartedly sitting—a comprehensive immersion in the arisings of this moment, the practice of freedom amidst all things.First session 1/31: To form our foundation: meditation on breathing and tips for establishing a daily practice.Second session 2/7: To build upon our skills to include awareness of the body and wise practice with emotions.Third session 2/14: To develop a mindful relationship to thinking. Fourth session 2/21: Having now trained with breath, body, and mind, we open to shikantaza, the heart of Zazen meditation.

Think back to a mentor in your life who was vested enough to coach you and create opportunities for you to shine. How did that relationship impact your trajectory? Helen Aboah @HelenAboah had many mentors but two women of color, in particular, stood out as early sponsors whom she credits with shifting her dynamic career.

In This Episode: The Weather Reporter, The Chicken and the Brat. The Dentist, The Accountant and the Lawyer. Two baby birds. Some curse words. And a really long Lie List. Meredith Atwood stole smoothies in college. [That about sums it up.] More About Lauren: http://www.handelgroup.com/  What Lauren does to make her days extraordinary: I get my favorite joke that there is no maybe about it, I am my life’s biggest obstacle AND solution. I remind myself of this often. It puts all the power, all the time, in my own hands and my fingerprints on every crime scene AND success story. Every day I’m in actions to forward my own dreams. There’s the right formula of what makes you deeply happy in your life and truly, we all know what it is. Whether we do it or not is another question.  See the species packaging: we’re excusers, blamers, and feel-bad-ers. So long as we have a good enough excuse to have not gone to the gym, not jumped our mate, pushed snooze four times, cheated on our diet, so be it. And so long as we feel guilty about it, we’re still “good humans.” I’ve figured out my formula. It includes working out 3x weekly, having sex with my husband twice a week (yes, a week), finding gatekeepers to help in my crusade to heal the planet, painting, and hanging with my kids. What I’ve found, and what I teach, is Personal Integrity: keeping promises to yourself that are a match for your dream is the secret sauce to happiness, period. We’d never mess with our friendships, and say we’ll meet a friend at the movies, and then just not show. But we have no problem saying we’ll eat healthily this week, and then blow that promise in a minute. We don’t realize that it directly affects our relationship to ourselves and inevitably, how we talk to ourselves about ourselves. I design my day, everyday, BEFORE it unfolds.  I write out how my day is going to go, from what I feel like to what happens. It gets me in the driver’s seat of my life. Authoring how each day will go versus sitting back and weather reporting how the day went...It has me not only connected to my friends, but causing my own life. I manifest daily. I see and feel whatever wish I want fulfilled as done, and I imagine it, feel it, and see it. I do this during the day, and imprint it before I go to bed. During the day, I search for signs it is so.

Listen in as we discuss her thoughts on education in the field of fashion, her passion for philanthropy, and more. I also want to tell you about the 8 App, co-founded by my friend Sonja Nuttall. 8 is a mobile media platform where users can build an audience and make money from their popular content, and then use that money to support their favorite charities. You can check it out by searching The 8 App in the app store. The 8 App is a mobile media platform that is building a fun, creative, and inspiring community which allows users to tell stories through photo and video, build an audience, and make money from their popular content.  The 8 app is unique for its ability for it’s users to monetize their popular or "viral" content; your creativity is beautiful and you should own it!  Most mobile media companies sell ads on user content, taking advantage of the user’s popular content without compensating the user.  By directly partnering with advertisers, The 8 app enables users to activate advertisements from brands of their choice within their content in return for 80% of the advertising revenue generated from those advertisements.  This is a greater earning for users than any other comparable social sharing platform, and the first social network with a transparent and sustainable business model. But while making money from content is a huge bonus to sharing content on The 8 App, the heart and soul of the platform is to provide a framework for empowering it’s users and to remind people that their voice matters.  Not only can users generate earnings from their content, but they have the built in option to pay it forward to causes and charities they support. The 8 app is the creation of Sue Fennessy, an ad industry veteran. Her motivation to create The 8 App is to create a social network based on positivity, empowerment, and social change. The 8 app already has a great deal of celebrities, large brands, and social stars uploading exclusive content.  The 8 App is a notable player in the mobile and social space and is one of the few to be built on a sustainable and transparent business model.
