Hi everyone! I know that we have discussed Saturn + Neptune on a few segments, but I thought this combination certainly deserved it's own deep dive. I've been witnessing individuals who are spiritually confused, longing, or uncertain. It seems that there is a pull away from "woo woo" spirituality, and a draw towards religions with more structure and regulations. (Has anyone else seen the rise in Christianity?) While I believe more people will be searching for meaning through things like astrology and tarot, I believe people are burning out on the "get rich quick" approach of some spiritual leaders. Saturn is rules, regulations, discipline, and consistency. Neptune is illusion, idealism, and dreaminess. These two planets joining forces will impact us all differently on a personal level... Some may be having "ah ha" moments, seeing a situation for what it is, or experience a crack in rose colored glasses. Others may be feeling confused, aimless, or stuck in a rut and unsure on how to move forward. Globally, we will see chaos and confusion with rules, structure, and government. Saturn is the government, after all. The truth will feel more elusive as accusations get thrown around. With so much confusion and uncertainty, this gives a beautiful opportunity to tap into Viveka, or discernment, the compass of the heart. Learn how to best navigate the energy of this transit here.

Human trafficking is happening all over Canada and is hidden in plain sight. Filmmaker Viveka Melki shares the stories behind her new documentary Butterfly: Into the Maze of Human Trafficking, which follows three women who survived being trafficked across Western Canada. We dive into the strength it takes to survive, how storytelling can become a tool for healing and how we can recognize when human trafficking is happening in our own communities.

On this episode of GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling talks about Substack with Jim Fuhs, Fuhsion Marketing and co-host of Dealcasters, senior publicist Kat Neff from Llewelyn, and post-executive coach for women Viveka von Rosen, Beyond the Dream Board. The trio share their enthusiasm and tips for the platform in this entertaining, informative, and slightly tech-glitchy conversation.

What Substack Means to Each of Them - Kat: A resource for voices, opinions, and discovery - Viv: Quality content of my choosing, another place to share your voice, and a fresh start for your persona  - Jim: A multi-mode platform that allows you to build community using a variety of media Goals - Kat: Do an AMA on Substack - Jim: Read his article on how to get started on Substack - Jim: Start a Substack Chat by asking a question - Viveka: Substack is an awesome opportunity.

In this episode, we explore the balance between personal boundaries and professional spontaneity with LinkedIn expert turned entrepreneurial coach, Viveka von Rosen.   We talk about the integration of technology in business, and how AI is transforming not only workflows but also opportunities, especially for female entrepreneurs. Viveka shares her thoughts on overcoming imposter syndrome, setting boundaries, and the ongoing challenges posed by the glass ceiling.  Will technology and flexibility continue to empower women, or are there new hurdles on the horizon?  Join us and find out how these changes could reshape the future of work for everyone. 

Home Retreats help us inject some of the powerful teachings of the Buddha directly into our everyday lives. This week we're joined by Balajit, Singhashri and Viveka to talk about what lies behind their latest week-long collaborative venture with The Buddhist Centre [Live] - the enigmatically titled ‘The Three Bodies of Belonging'.  In this episode we dive into the the traditional Buddhist teaching / images / metaphors / experiences of the three kayas (‘bodies'): Dharmakaya, Samboghakaya and Nirmanakaya. These are correlated respectively, via Urygyen Sangharakshita's reading of the Tibetan yogi and mystic Milarepa, with human mind, speech and physical body. The discussion that arises out of this takes in not just what it means to belong - but also questions of longing: what the heart yearns for, how we conceive of liberation itself via an embodied and relational approach to Awakening. We explore what individuality and collectivity look and feel like in the light of the trikaya - how the whole of the teaching is pointing to human potential where we have the same faculties, senses, heart, body and mind as the Buddha and everyone else who has ever trodden this path. In that sense, like Buddhism at its best, it's a profoundly hopeful, healing conversation requiring honesty, vulnerability and a new perspective on ‘self', ‘other' and our relationships in the face of the universe. How do we change our stories to allow for genuine and profoundly transformative connection in a suffering world? How might we resource ourselves to blow open wide our own “window of tolerance” for whatever arises in life and become beings with a boundless heart? Join us on the Home Retreat - live or after the fact - to discover with other seekers the luminous and boundless possibilities beyond trauma, fear, anxiety, heartbreak and all that holds us back from a true sense of belonging.

To mark the summer season, we're bringing you some of our favourite episodes from The Laundry archives.In this episode, originally published in November 2022, Marit Rødevand is joined by Viveka Strangert, former Chief Compliance Officer at Swedbank, to discuss: how a naive compliance culture opened the doors for money-launderingIn 2020, Viveka was known as the "whistleblower" in a massive money laundering scandal which saw Swedbank fined 4 billion SEK (€389.8m) by Sweden's financial watchdog for severe deficiencies in its AML processes and for withholding information from authorities investigating its role in the scandal.Even if you're not familiar with this case, it's a fascinating insight into a scandal that rocked the banking sector and will resonate with audiences worldwide.____________________________________The Laundry podcast: Dive deep into the intricacies of financial crime, AML (anti-money laundering), compliance, sanctions, and the ever-evolving landscape of financial regulation.Hosted by Marit Rødevand and Fredrik Riiser – this podcast features renowned experts from banking, fintech, compliance, and investigative journalism.Together, they shed light on the industry's trending topics, analyse mainstream news through a compliance-focused lens, and connect the fight against financial crime to its real-world consequences and ramifications.The Laundry is proudly produced by Strise, the AML Automation Cloud.Get in touch at: laundry@strise.aiWatch our recent product launch, The Q, here.

The truth is, we each have a library's worth of past experiences and conditioning that can cloud our vision, trapping us in looping thoughts. And while that sounds uncomfortable, this is the instinctive reality of the human mind. Every day we face the urge to judge.  Meanwhile, discernment (or Viveka) offers a different path. One of turning inward, reflecting deeply, and distinguishing between what is true and untrue, relevant and irrelevant.  This process is slow and deliberate - deserving of patience, dedication, and deep questioning. Abd if we focus on our breath and embrace meditation, we thin out the incessant chatter of the mind, creating space for discernment to arise and for judgment to dissolve. The ultimate mastery of mind. This is not a lesson in differences though. Rather, this is an invitation to ask ourselves: How often do we allow our minds to snap to judgment missing the opportunity for true insight?   Start the journey now with your free 30-day membership on Omstars.com.

Dṛg-Dṛṣya-Viveka : An Inquiry Into The Nature of The ‘Seer' and The ‘Seen', Discrimination between the Real and the Unreal Attributed to Adi Śankarācarya and Bāratī Tīrtha - Translation by Richard Miller, PhD The Dṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka contains 46 slokas/verses performing an inquiry into the distinction between the "seer" (Dṛg) and the "seen" (Dṛśya), an overview of samadhi, centering on savikalpa and nirvikalpa, and the reality of Universal Non-Dual Consciousness. Although also attributed to Adi Shankara, the text is most commonly attributed to Bharatī Tīrtha (c. 1350). It is also known as Vakya Suddha, which is attributed to Adi Shankara.

5th Niyama is Isvara Pranidhana complete surrender to the God head of your understanding. To have complete faith in the guiding and protective power of absolute reality behind all life and manifestation. Whatever is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. Yoga is not a religion, however a ‘Spiritual' practice.The teachings suggests we surrender our fruits of our actions, give all of our self over to this Grace that we entrust in and we stay open to what life has to offer. Starting thinking about what you are trying to control, be powerful over? Person, place or thing? Kids, finances, relationships, work outcomes…Or better yet, what would you like to let go of? Fear, anger, envy, resentments…Vyasa one of the commenters of the Yoga Sutras, stated that a mind that is disturbed, distracted and stupefied is not fit for reaching Samadhi. It is only reachable by Yogis who have cultivated a one-pointed and complete still mind, Nirodha. In our focused, diligent practice (Abhyasa) we refine our awareness (Viveka) to observe what arises, discerning our choices in practice. Vairagya is a practice of letting go of sensory observation, training the mind to detach from what arises, distracts or motivates the activity of the mind that prevents it from stillness. This becomes a repetition of mind to practice the art of surrendering that which doesn't serve the practitioner in their pursuit of attaining the state of Yoga.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

An online Dhamma talk by Upāsikā Viveka facilitated by Piotr Planeta from Portal Sasana - https://m.youtube.com/user/sasanaPL. Upāsikā Viveka said that she feels blessed that she had the opportunity to be close to the death journey of two very close people, so she can share her experience with others, so they can have potentially much more peaceful and wholesome death, when it eventually inevitably comes. The talk, guided meditation and Q&A session also touches on other dhamma topics, like progressive training, gratitude, cultivation of the mind etc. 0:00 - Introduction 3:03 - Ist half of the talk  33:45 - Guided meditation 1:05:50 - 2nd half of the talk 1:27:33 - Q&A  Upāsikā Viveka is a deeply practicing dhammacārinī, who was given her Pali name by Ajahn Brahm. She is accredited as an advanced Dhamma teacher by the Buddhist Society of Western Australia. She has lived and practiced mostly in seclusion in Southeast Australia at Khemavara Sanctuary for over 20 years, and under the 8 precepts since 2009. Khemavara is in an isolated bush location surrounded by national parks and is a sanctuary for wild animals. Viveka is a very interesting figure because even though she is a lay person, not having had the opportunity to ordain, she practices with the dedication of a nun. Before renunciation she had a professional background in psychology, specializing in Mental Health, and was instrumental in introducing and spreading the Recovery Based Model throughout Australia. Piotr Płaneta or Upāsaka Sunyanando is a lay follower on 5 precepts, basing his practice on Early Buddhist Texts and teachings of Ajahn Brahm, Ajahn Sona and Upāsikā Viveka. He is a P.hD student finishing his thesis on "Cognitive and Functional Aspects of Meditation in Theravada Buddhism". He's a lay dhamma and meditation teacher and organiser of retreats and various dhamma events, both with monastics and his own. Right now he's mostly focused on connecting Poland with Buddhist Society of Western Australia and tradition of Ajahn Brahm, organising many events with renunciates related to this project. Together with his kalyana-mittas, he's trying to establish the first Theravada Buddhist Monastery in Poland. Please support the BSWA in making teachings available for free online via Patreon.

On this episode of GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling talks about Showcasing Yourself with artist Heather Eck, senior publicist Kat Neff (Llewelyn), and post-executive coach for women Viveka von Rosen (Beyond the Dream Board). It's the perfect way to wrap up Women's History Month. Everyone gets caught up in all of life's challenges, obligations, and routines. When you pause, re-evaluate your reason for being, and practice kindness, you set the stage to showcase yourself ... and everyone benefits Heather, Kat, and Viveka share their backstories and the value of embracing your unique talents, along with what stops people from owning their path, ways to get started, and more. Goals  - Heather: Choose a color that you really love, that you're attracted to, and that makes you feel good; wear it and notice how you feel about it. And then also choose a color that you wouldn't typically go for and put that on this week too. Pay attention, slow down or stop, and notice what's happening for you when you put that color on. - Kat: Do something good for yourself - something that makes you feel special - every single day - Viv: Your audience needs to hear from you; get on camera Final Thoughts - Heather: Everyday, look for the things that make you feel open and full of possibility - Kat: Be kind to yourself and be kind to the people around you; never miss an opportunity to do something kind - Viv: We come from a paradigm of struggle and that you have to struggle in order to succeed. What if it was easy? What if we just tapped into our intuition, we trusted the universe, we acted from love and everything we ever could have dreamed of, plus way, way more, was presented to us. Trust your intuition and lead from the heart, because the universe has your back Learn more:  Heather Eck: HeatherEck.com Kat Neff: Llewellyn.com Viveka von Rosen: BeyondtheDreamBoard.com Debra Eckerling: TheDEBMethod.com/blog Learn more about your ad choices.

17th verse: “Extremely conceited, haughty, filled with pride and intoxication of wealth, they perform all sacrifices with great ostentation disregarding all ordinances.” This is the literal translation. The meaning of the verse is that such people do things in an improper manner without any consideration for propriety.Kama refers to desire – the mind wants to go after worldly desire all the time. Dambha refers to religious or spiritual pride and superiority. Māna means they think they deserve more honor than others. Mada means delusion, an over estimation of one's abilities. These are characteristics of people who become conceited and indulge in showmanship.Sri Ramakrishna refers to three types of devotees – Sattvic, who are serene and contemplative. Rajasic who are externally expressive. And Tamasic who worship in a careless manner.18th verse: “Filled with egotism, power, insolence, lust and anger, such people hate Me. They do not recognize the presence of the divine spark in themselves and in others.”There are two types of strengths. In the first type, one has wealth, power, status but he is self-restraint. He does not have aversion towards anyone. In the second type, the power is accompanied by extreme likes and dislikes.It is important to combine any kind of power with humility and self-restraint. If a wealthy or powerful person is humble, it is a blessing to society.Ramanuja says in his commentary on the 18th verse: “The very idea of Viveka (discrimination) and Vairagya (renunciation) never comes to them because they have no genuine devotion to God. Their mind remains impure, and they always criticize. They think of someone who exercises self-restraint as weak. They think of knowledge without showmanship as ignorance.”19th verse: The literal meaning is: “These people – who are proud, malicious, cruel and born of evil qualities – I hurl them perpetually in the wombs of the demons.” The interpretation is: “Those who deliberately do sinful deeds, they fall into perpetual demonic state.”There is no eternal damnation in Hinduism. Only Madhvacharya talked about it. The majority do not accept this view. God is not the arbitrator.Gita says that we should build our own spiritual destiny. We reap according to the types of seeds we sow. According to our own actions, we create heaven or hell like conditions in our life.If we take refuge in God's grace, our destiny will change. But we have to make ourselves graceworthy with our own self effort. Such refuge requires complete self-surrender. If we do so, it will be difficult for us to do anything wrong.Prapati is the highest state of a devotee of God. Prapati means complete surrender and is composed of the following characteristics. (1) Always having a positive outlook in life, full of sattvic qualities such as serenity, wisdom, compassion, and broad mindedness. (2) Rejecting all the opposing qualities such as skepticism and self-doubt. (3) Strong faith that God will protect me. (4) Total self-surrender.One of the Brahma Sutras says: “God is taking care of everything. Everything happens according to our previous deeds.”Though everything comes from God, God is not responsible for what we do. We act according to our own samskaras. Just professing a belief in God will not change our life. Prapati or complete self-surrender will have an immediate effect.20th verse: “Those who hate others and reinforce their own evil character, they continue to rotate in this cycle of samsara.”21st verse: “There are three gates to a hellish life – hellish conditions created from our own actions. These three gates are lust, anger and greed (kamah, krodhah, lobhah). These three should be abandoned.”Every wrong action has desire or lust as its source. Once we have a desire, we direct our senses and energy to fulfill that desire. Not all desires are fulfilled. When the desire remains unfulfilled, we become angry. And then there is endless greed.Patanjali prescribes five yamas (important) and five niyamas (auxiliary) in Yoga Sutras. When we practice yamas and niyamas, these three gates are closed.The five yamas are: ahimsa (non-violence, satya (truthfulness), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacharya (right use of energy) and aparigraha (non-hoarding). The five niyamas are: saucha (cleanliness), santosha (contentment), tapas (austerity), svadhyaya (study of scriptures) and Isvara Pranidhana (surrender to God).In terms of inquiry, there are two types of seekers. (1) Those who are humble, straightforward and inquisitive. Once they are convinced of the truth, they become champions of that truth. Swami Vivekananda was such as seeker. (2) Those who ask questions without any seriousness. They pretend to be convinced, but they keep asking the same questions again.A spiritual seeker should practice friendliness (Maitri) towards fellow spiritual seekers, practice compassion (Karuna) towards those who are less evolved, practice happiness (Mudita) towards those who are more evolved, and practice a filtering attitude (Upeksha) towards those who may shake his faith.
