Podcasts about Zen

In this talk, Jogen explores why it has become so difficult to show up for one another in a culture of endless options and easy canceling. Through the lens of Zen practice, he examines social anxiety, the tendency to overextend ourselves, and the role of the critical mind in undermining commitment. By clarifying our obligations and affinities, learning to sit with discomfort, and ultimately living by vow rather than momentary feelings, the talk points toward a more grounded and reliable way of relating—one rooted in presence, honesty, and spiritual maturity. ★ Support this podcast ★

n this talk, Hogen continues the series “Turning Problems into Wisdom,” exploring how challenges in everyday life can become opportunities for clarity and insight. Through a vivid story about a major septic system failure at the retreat center, he reflects on how calm attention, community cooperation, and practical action reveal the wisdom hidden within crisis. At the heart of the teaching is the Zen practice of “not knowing”—approaching life with curiosity, openness, and humility rather than fixed assumptions—allowing us to meet problems with creativity, equanimity, and a sense of wonder. ★ Support this podcast ★

Are current American food policies truly protecting public health, or are they putting it at risk?In this week's episode ofThe Feds, Stephanie speaks with Zen Honeycutt, the founder of Moms Across America, a national movement dedicated to educating families about toxins in the food supply and advocating for healthier agricultural practices. After witnessing her own children's health improve dramatically when they switched to organic foods, Zen launched a nationwide effort to test everyday products and raise awareness about the presence of glyphosate, pesticides, and other chemical residues in food. Zen discusses the widespread use of glyphosate in American agriculture, shares testing results revealing concerning levels of these substances in popular items such as cereals, baby formula, Girl Scout cookies, and even military food, and examines the roles of the EPA and FDA in regulating food safety. The conversation also addresses concerns regarding the Farm Bill and the President's recent Executive Order, and the growing demand amongst many Americans for greater transparency about what is actually in their food. Zen offers practical steps that families can take to reduce their exposure to toxins and support healthier farming methods. Moms Across America website:https://www.momsacrossamerica.com/Moms Across America Movement:https://www.momsacrossamericamovement.org/Test your body:https://www.momsacrossamerica.com/test_for_glyphosateFollow Zen:https://x.com/zenhoneycutt,https://www.instagram.com/zenhoneycutt/President Trump's EO:https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2026/02/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-ensures-an-adequate-supply-of-elemental-phosphorus-and-glyphosate-based-herbicides-for-national-security/

Title of this lecture (speech): "THIS WILL FIND YOU AT THE RIGHT TIME (an eye-opening message)". Speaker:

BOSSes, Anne Ganguzza welcomes  powerhouse talent Mark Rider, whose voice has defined campaigns for Ford, Game of Thrones, and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Beyond his iconic sound, Mark is a dedicated coach and creator of the VO Life Coach app. In this episode, we explore the parallel between jumping horses and taking creative risks, the "10,000-hour" journey to natural delivery, and why a healthy voice acting mindset—rooted in self-care and mental clarity—is the only way to survive the high-pressure world of trailers and promos.     Chapter Summaries: Horses, Fear, and Character Building (01:48) Anne and Mark bond over their shared passion for horses. Mark notes that jumping a 1,200-pound animal requires staring fear in the face—a skill that translates directly to the booth. They discuss how "eating dirt" (falling off) builds the resilience and character necessary to handle rejection and technical failures in a voiceover career. The Birth of the VO Life Coach App (05:19) Mark shares the "come to Jesus" moment that led to his app. Wrestling with his two loves—performing and coaching—he sought a way to "clone himself" to provide spiritual and professional guidance to talent globally. He emphasizes that "unstucking" talent often involves addressing life strategy rather than just reading scripts. The Myth of "Just Be You" (21:45) Mark issues a controversial reality check: the advice to "just be you" is often misleading. Most scripts are not written for your natural persona. He argues that you must "finish the sentence"—it's about you acting. Successful talent are voice artists who use their unique personality as a tool to inhabit characters and scenarios that are fundamentally different from themselves. The 10,000-Hour Matrix (16:39) There are no workarounds for experience. Mark describes reaching "Year 15" as a "Matrix moment" where auditions began to move in slow motion. He explains that sounding "natural" is a learned skill that only comes after thousands of hours of breaking down copy and internalizing intonation until it becomes instinctual. Zen vs. Chaos: Promo vs. Corporate (41:13) Mark and Anne compare their working styles. While Anne thrives in the "Zen" flexibility of non-broadcast corporate work, Mark admits he craves the "psychotic" chaos of trailer and promo work—getting out of bed at 12:45 AM because a network needs a tag immediately. They agree that the industry has enough room for both mentalities, but you must know which one feeds your soul. Inner Dialogue: Your Biggest Enemy (42:22) Mark's biggest piece of advice for any voice acting mindset is to gain control over your internal dialogue. You don't fail because someone pulls you down; you fail because you allow your own "demons" to tell you that you aren't enough. He recounts wisdom from Maurice Tobias: "Get your life straight first, or the acting won't matter."     Top 10 Takeaways for Voice Actors: Resilience is Rooted in Experience: Much like riding, you aren't a professional until you've "fallen off" and gotten back up several times. Strategize Before You Launch: Don't rush into getting a demo Invest time in planning and building a foundation so you do it right the first time. Self-Care is Non-Negotiable: Your mental and physical health directly affects your vocal production. Put your sanity first. Master the "Unstuck" Mindset: When you feel stuck, it's often a sign that you need to shift your focus from performance to business strategy or mental clarity. Experience Takes Time: Respect the "10,000-hour" rule. Longevity comes to those who are willing to put in the years of daily practice. "Be You" Means "Act as You": Learn to bring your unique spirit to scripts that weren't written for you. It's about authentic interpretation, not just reading. Find Your Niche Energy: Determine if you prefer the stability of corporate narration or the adrenaline of "right now" promo work. The Power of "No": Having the confidence (and the savings) to say no to low-paying, high-stress jobs is a hallmark of a VO Boss. Use Creative Promotional Tools: Mark's "Be Awesome" BBQ sauce serves as a brilliant conversation starter and follow-up tool for building client relationships. Your Inner Voice Rules: Monitor your self-talk. If your internal dialogue is negative, your performance and business growth will suffer.  

422 Experience Awe   The natural world is one of few places in the world where we can truly feel at peace. Whether it be to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, or even just to get away from all the screens and pollution, we can find a moment to center ourselves and find genuine awe in the world.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Thomas Reed discuss the importance of the natural world, finding awe, how we talk to ourselves, as well as finding our own courage to seek the paths that call to us.   Highlights How we interact with the natural world around us. The importance of positive Self Talk.  Beauty of the natural world and its importance to the human psyche.  Where is the one place you can go to that turns off the chatter in your head?   Quotes "I don't know if it was a choice or it was just being me." "Use me as your inspiration, that you don't need inspiration."   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What will you do to experience awe? I am going to give you one chore, one piece of homework, one suggestion at the end of this episode, is to find an opportunity to experience awe. That could be watching your child do something for the first time, and have them be very proud of themselves. I can tell you I had many of those experiences while my boys were growing up and they had a realization as basic as finding their own thumb when they were infants. There's a sense of awe when you watch other people experience awe or when you experience that sense of awe about another person, like this Chinese woman from a small village that decided to go experience what she did. Experience Awe, go hug a tree, go stand in front of a man made bridge that is inspiring for its unlikeliness, for the fact that somebody had to create that, watch that daffodil start to bloom and realize you didn't have to do a thing to it to make it show up in all it's full color.  Find awe, remember it, and consider that desire to find awe, your connection to the natural world and your humanity.         And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Thomas I studied photography at Rutgers University as a Geography student. Major influences have been Ansel Adams, Edgar Payne, and the Hudson River School. Zen sensibilities profoundly influence my compositions, as I am a student of Japanese martial arts and aesthetics (chado). Black and white is my genre My work is centered on the experience of awe at the sight of a landscape, and I hope it leads to the consideration that nature itself is divine, sacred, and that stewardship, as opposed to the dominant utilitarian view, is the only sane attitude.

As well as Peak Wellness, his website Tom Reed, and his books at Tom Reed Books!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

In this talk, Jomon reflects on the first of Frank Ostaseski's Five Invitations—“Don't Wait”—and explores what death can teach us about living fully. Drawing on the Zen teaching Identity of Relative and Absolute (Sandokai), a traditional koan, and a meditation on the elements, the talk invites listeners to consider the constantly changing nature of body, mind, and world. Through contemplation of earth, water, fire, air, and space, we are reminded that we are not separate, solid selves but expressions of a larger unfolding reality—at once here and disappearing. ★ Support this podcast ★

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene interviews James Faillettaz, founder and CEO of Verus Praedium Holding. James oversees multiple real estate businesses, including brokerage, property management, acquisitions, and leasing, and shares how building an interconnected platform has helped him grow his portfolio and create opportunities across different parts of the industry. Jonathan and James explore the operational realities of running several real estate businesses at once and why property management is often the most challenging part of the business. James explains how managing subsidized housing and diverse tenant situations requires empathy, adaptability, and strong systems. They also discuss how organizational structure and long-term planning help companies scale without constantly rebuilding their internal processes. The conversation also dives into the culture of multifamily properties and how small operational issues can quickly compound if they are not addressed. James shares how the "broken window theory" applies to property management and why maintaining standards across buildings is essential as a portfolio grows. The discussion highlights how leadership, consistency, and attention to detail can dramatically change the environment and performance of a property. In this episode, you will hear: Why property management is often the hardest part of running a real estate business How owning multiple real estate businesses can create operational advantages The importance of planning a company structure with long-term growth in mind How building culture can improve the performance of multifamily properties Lessons from scaling a portfolio while maintaining operational standards Why small operational problems can compound if they are ignored Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

You've done the things you were supposed to do. But underneath it all, there's a quiet question that won't leave you alone: "Is this all there is?" In this episode, Steven Webb shares the deeply personal story of lying in a hospital bed at eighteen, paralysed and unable to speak, wrestling with the two biggest questions of his life. What he discovered is that "is this all there is?" isn't a sign of ingratitude or crisis. It's a doorway to something extraordinary: wonder, mystery, and the breathtaking magic of not knowing. Drawing on the wisdom of Rumi, Alan Watts, and Zen teacher Shunryu Suzuki, Steven explores how we can trade our cleverness for bewilderment and see the world through beginner's eyes again.Who Is This Episode For?This episode is for anyone who has ever looked at their life and felt that quiet ache of "is this it?", especially when everything looks fine on the outside. If you're in midlife and questioning what it's all been for, if you feel guilty for wanting something deeper when you know you should be grateful, or if you've simply stopped seeing the magic in everyday moments, Steven Webb recorded this conversation for you.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeSteven opens with a vivid image of a butterfly landing in front of you and asks when you last truly saw the world for the first time. He then takes you back to his hospital bed at eighteen, where two questions rattled around in his mind for months: "Who am I?" and "Is this it?" He explores why this question tends to arrive in midlife, when the forward momentum of building a career, a family, and a life finally slows down enough for you to look around and wonder what it was all for. Carl Jung's idea of the second half of life as a turning inward sits alongside Rumi's invitation to sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment, Alan Watts' beautiful image of the unknown becoming a window rather than a blank space, and Shunryu Suzuki's teaching on beginner's mind. Steven weaves in a story about a little girl discovering that the world through a caravan window is the same world outside the door, and his own moment watching a wave at the Headland Hotel and realising that exact wave would never happen again. The episode closes with a powerful reframe: the question was never really "is this all there is?" The question was always "am I paying attention?"Memorable Quotes from This Episode"That question is not a sign that something's wrong with you. It might actually be one of the most important questions you've ever asked." — Steven Webb"You are not ungrateful. You're not broken. You are not having some kind of crisis." — Steven Webb"Not knowing didn't become a wall. It became a window." — Steven Webb"Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment." — Rumi"In beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in an expert's mind there are few." — Shunryu Suzuki"The magic is in not knowing. The magic is in the fact that right now, in this moment, you are a conscious being in an incomprehensibly vast universe, and you have no idea why. And to me, that's not depressing. That's breathtaking." — Steven Webb"The question was never really, is this all there is? The question was always, am I paying attention?" — Steven WebbTry This TodayNext time the "is this it?" feeling visits you, don't push it away. Go outside or look out of a window. Pick one thing: a tree, a cloud, a bird, a wave. And look at it as if you've never seen it before. Because in a very real sense, you haven't. That exact moment, that exact configuration of light and shadow, has never existed before and will never exist again. Let yourself be bewildered by it.Supporter ThanksThis podcast is completely free and has no adverts or sponsors. It is made possible entirely by the kind people who treat Steven to a coffee.

In this Rohatsu talk, Kisei shares the story of the Buddha's awakening and the journey that led to it. Beginning with the Buddha's birth and the prophetic dream of his mother, the talk traces his sheltered life in the palace, the transformative encounter with the four sights, and his years of searching through meditation and austerities. Through mythic imagery and traditional teachings—including Mara's temptations, the rediscovery of simple presence, and the moment of awakening beneath the Bodhi tree—this story invites listeners to reflect on their own spiritual path and the possibility of awakening within everyday life. ★ Support this podcast ★

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene interviews Michael Cohen, founder and managing partner of Brighton Capital Advisors. With more than 25 years of experience in commercial real estate lending, debt sourcing, restructuring, and advisory work, Michael shares what he is seeing from the front lines of the current commercial real estate cycle. Jonathan and Michael discuss the shift from the value-correction phase to what Michael calls the "asset transfer phase," in which lenders are increasingly moving toward foreclosures, note sales, and restructurings as distressed loans work their way through the system. Michael explains why lenders were slower to act in prior years, how rising interest rates and operating costs have created pressure on multifamily and other assets, and why many borrowers are now facing critical decisions about whether to reinvest capital or exit their properties. The conversation also dives into the complexity of CMBS and CLO loan structures and why borrowers often underestimate lenders' leverage once loans are securitized. Michael shares how proactive communication, strong advisory teams, and a realistic understanding of loan documents can dramatically improve outcomes when navigating distressed situations. For investors, this episode highlights the importance of understanding leverage, capital reserves, and sponsor strength when evaluating real estate deals. Market cycles are inevitable, but preparation, knowledge, and disciplined decision-making can make the difference between surviving a downturn and losing an asset. In this episode, you will hear: Why commercial real estate is entering an asset transfer phase in the current cycle How rising rates and operating costs created pressure across multifamily assets Why lenders are becoming more aggressive with foreclosures and note sales The risks and complexities of CMBS and CLO loan structures Why capital reserves and sponsor strength matter during downturns How proactive communication can improve outcomes in distressed loan situations Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

In this episode, Jogen continues exploring how Zen practice moves beyond the meditation cushion and into daily life. Focusing on the Bodhisattva path, he reflects on generosity as the first and essential practice—expressed through simple acts like appreciation, attentiveness, sharing resources, and imagining the inner lives of others. Rather than striving to be “good,” he invites listeners to cultivate a generous heart that naturally flows from clarity and awareness, transforming ordinary moments into opportunities to bring a little more care, beauty, and ease into the world. ★ Support this podcast ★

What's seen as inspiring in the world are ego's triumphs. But there's another kind of inspiration we can feel when we hear about people who give themselves for others. We can also be inspired by those who exhibit essential qualities on the spiritual path. We innately feel an urge to embody qualities that feed a higher purpose. We can work to develop a “Work I” by observing ourselves and not letting lower qualities rule. This part of ourselves can arise out of conscience and be strengthened by practice. Inspirational stories are impression food that can enliven essential qualities that are in all of us. Whether any story is factually true in all of its details isn't the point. Stories are told about forgiveness, generosity, service, and the importance of working with childish parts of ourselves. There is discussion of inspiring circumstances including the request the Dalai Lama made to never to speak badly about the Chinese after the brutal takeover of Tibet; Garchen Rinpoche's training to generate loving kindness in a way that seemed impossible when he was young; the Zen master Hakuin's lack of concern for reputation; Orage's response to strong criticism by the enigmatic mystic Gurdjieff; the need for the character Siddhartha in Hesse's book to experience ordinary life in order to spiritually develop; the courage of Meher Baba's disciples to leave their lives behind in deciding to follow their master on the New Life; the all-consuming love in the Sufi tale of Layla and Majnun; the commitment of Gandhi to Hindu-Moslem unity which he demonstrated by fasting; the wandering of Swami Ramdas who viewed everything as divine after his realization; and the magical events that occurred in the relationship of Yogi Ramsuratkumar and Lee Lozowick. VJ Fedorschak is the organizer of the Western Baul Podcast Series and author of The Shadow on the Path and Father and Son.

Zen teacher and author Henry Shukman offers a clear and grounded introduction to the heart of Zen practice. We explore how awakening is not an escape from life, but a deeper participation in it — a realization that dissolves the illusion of separation and reveals a boundless field of awareness and love.Henry shares his own spontaneous awakening experience at 19, the profound insight that life is not divided between self and world, and the difficult healing journey that followed. From mindfulness and meditation to flow states, jhanas, koans, and the role of trauma in spiritual growth, this conversation maps out a path that integrates awakening with emotional healing.Download SAILY in your app store and use our code KNOWTHYSELF at checkout to get an exclusive 15% off your first purchase!

Guest Tom Reed studied photography at Rutgers while studying Geography.  Ansel Adams, Edgar Payne, and the Hudson River School are major influencers. Zen sensibilities profoundly influence his compositions and writings, as he is a student of Japanese martial arts and aesthetics (chado).  His photographs and writing center on the experience of awe at the sight of a landscape. He hopes this leads to considering nature itself divine and sacred, and that stewardship, rather than the dominant utilitarian view, is the only sane attitude.  Summary In this episode, Jeff speaks with photographer, writer, adventurer, and wellness coach Tom Reed about a life shaped not by financial ambition, but by a deep desire for experience, nature, and meaning. Reed traces this orientation back to formative childhood moments that helped him value independence and authenticity over conventional success. His path led him through geography studies, wilderness work in Alaska, whitewater guiding, sailing, martial arts, and ultimately photography. Reed's artistic philosophy blends influences from Ansel Adams with Japanese aesthetic traditions. His black-and-white landscape photography—especially from Patagonia—aims not to comfort but to evoke awe: the kind of beauty that shocks us into awareness of something greater than ourselves. The conversation explores how skill and serendipity intersect in creative work, the role of mindfulness in perceiving opportunities, and the thread of vitality that connects Reed's diverse pursuits. The discussion also turns to climate change and environmental degradation, with Reed emphasizing acceptance without apathy—a stance rooted in spiritual maturity and non-judgment. Ultimately, Reed's work invites us to reconsider why certain landscapes move us so profoundly—and what that says about our relationship to the natural world. A key reflection Awe is a powerful emotional and spiritual experience that can dissolve ego and reconnect us to something greater.

In this episode, Jogen explores how Zen practice extends beyond the meditation cushion into the challenges of everyday life. From observing habitual thought patterns and interrupting unhelpful mental habits to cultivating pockets of quiet mind in daily tasks, he emphasizes continual practice as a path to clarity, awareness, and grace. Listeners are invited to engage with their own minds, relationships, and routines as living opportunities for mindfulness, reflection, and transformation. ★ Support this podcast ★

Our dialogue delves into the intricacies of anxiety and the underlying emotions that often fuel it. I invite listeners to reflect on their relationship with anxiety and how to discern the subtle messages it communicates.A significant focus of our discussion is the Hidden Emotion Model—a technique I learned and refined during my training that unveils the repressed feelings driving anxiety. Dr. Burns eloquently explains how individuals, often conscientious and "nice," suppress emotions like fear, anger, and disappointment, which leads to heightened anxiety. By recognizing and articulating these hidden emotions, individuals can often alleviate their anxiety significantly. Dr. Burns shares a compelling vignette involving a man struggling with panic attacks after receiving unexpected news about parenthood. This example illustrates the necessity of acknowledging uncomfortable emotions to pave the way for healing.Our conversation also touches on the societal stigmas surrounding emotional expression, particularly for those who identify as "nice" people. Dr. Burns and I explore how mental health diagnostics can inadvertently contribute to feelings of shame and inadequacy among patients. It's a powerful reminder that many who battle anxiety face not only internal struggles but external societal pressures that may dictate how they should feel or behave.#Anxiety, #PanicAttacks, #MentalHealth, #CBT, #DrDavidBurns, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #FeelingGood, #FeelingGreat, #Psychology, #Mindfulness, #SelfHelp, #Recovery, #Wellness, #Healing, #StressRelief, #InnerPeace, #MentalWellness, #SelfCare, #Therapy, #Coaching, #EmotionalIntelligence, #NervousSystem, #OvercomingAnxiety, #PanicDisorder, #SocialAnxiety, #MentalHealthAwareness, #EndTheStigma, #GrowthMindset, #Authenticity, #Boundaries, #SelfLove, #IntrusiveThoughts, #OCD, #HealthAnxiety, #MindfulLiving, #Breathwork, #Meditation, #Zen, #Spirituality, #PersonalGrowth, #Resilience, #Empowerment, #HealthyMind, #AnxietyRelief, #StressManagement, #Psychotherapy, #Counseling, #WellnessJourney, #LifeCoaching, #MentalHealthMatters, #AnxietySupportSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We continue our Treeleaf Zendo Podcast with a new episode from the series based on master Tong'an Changcha's little-known "Ten Talks of Unfathomable Depth". Sekkei Harada Roshi relfects that "These Ten Verses of Unfathomable Depth ... written by Master Tong'an Changcha and represent a work of pure Sōtō Zen. The first five verses set forth the principles of Sōtō Zen, while the second five are concerned with matters of practice. Thus, taken together, these verses encapsulate the whole teaching of Sōtō Zen." We will explore the second of the ten talks.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene interviews Dan Rivers, co-founder of SynergyStays and founder of Rivers Capital Group. Dan shares how he built a diverse real estate background spanning property management, sales, flipping, private lending, and short-term rentals before narrowing his focus to revenue management for STR operators. He explains why trying to do everything at once held him back and how focusing on his strengths allowed him to grow more intentionally. Dan discusses the evolution of the short-term rental market, from the post-pandemic gold rush to today's more competitive, professionalized environment. He breaks down why many operators struggle when they treat STRs passively, and why success now requires attention to revenue management, guest experience, and consistent optimization. The conversation also explores house hacking, mindset shifts, and the power of showing up consistently in investor meetups to accelerate growth. If you're feeling scattered in your investing journey or unsure where to start, this episode offers clarity: focus on your superpower, surround yourself with the right people, and treat real estate like the business it is. In this episode, you will hear: Why focusing on one strength can unlock faster growth How the short-term rental landscape has shifted since 2020 The importance of revenue management in maximizing STR performance Why guest experience and reviews directly impact profitability How house hacking can accelerate wealth building The power of consistent networking and investor meetups Follow and Review "If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

03/04/2026, Shosan Victoria Austin, dharma talk at City Center. Shosan Victoria Austin explores love as an internal posture, rather than a feeling. A stable base for our posture of love is awareness and patience with the negative emotions that often come up without our noticing them.

Kyle introduces guest Aaron Abke of the Jesus Way podcast, praising his focus on what Jesus taught beyond church dogma and his knowledge of Rudolf Steiner and the Law of One. After bonding over Bay Area roots and King's Academy connections, Aaron shares his upbringing in a charismatic megachurch with supernatural experiences, then describes disillusionment at a legalistic church where women required “covering,” which led him to question biblical infallibility and Paul's teachings versus Jesus'. He left Christianity, studied Alan Watts, Zen, Hinduism, and non-duality for years, but returned to Jesus' “red letters” when those paths didn't end suffering, emphasizing love, forgiveness, and deeds as salvation from present suffering. They discuss NDEs, plant medicine, service-to-others vs service-to-self, early Nazarene “Two Ways” teachings, gnosticism, the Gospel of Thomas' authenticity, reincarnation of the Christ principle, and Aaron's offerings through the Jesus Way podcast and 4D University.   Connect with Aaron here: Instagram 4D University   From Kyle: The Community is coming!

I am a big believer in the transformative power of meditation. I also know how hard it can be to start and stick to a daily practice in our busy, modern world. In this special episode of my Feel Better, Live More podcast, I'm inviting you to join me for something that has truly transformed my own life. I've teamed up with Zen master Henry Shukman and his meditation app The Way for a 30-day meditation challenge this March to help inspire more of us to build a consistent meditation practice. I've tried many meditation apps over the years, but I've never found one as effective as The Way. I've been using it most mornings for months now, and it has genuinely helped me feel calmer, more relaxed and more present. I love it so much that I recently invested in the company because I truly believe that if more of us meditated regularly, we'd create a calmer, happier and more compassionate world. There's now a wealth of research showing that meditation can reduce stress, improve focus and even lead to positive structural changes in the brain over time. But we only experience those benefits if we actually practise. In this episode, Henry shares a beautiful guided body scan meditation, reminding us that meditation isn't another task on the to-do list, but a return to ourselves. Just a few minutes each day can make a profound difference. So, if you are ready to join Henry and me on this 30-day challenge, for free, all you need to do is visit: thewayapp.com/livemore.  Download the app and join a group of likeminded people, meditating our way through March.   Show notes https://drchatterjee.com/631   DISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
