The lectures are happening in Delhi, so the times are a bit odd for us: Start time of the first lecture is Sunday, August 8 at 11:00 PM CST. Watch the lecture live. There will be another lecture on “Ethics for the New Millennium” Tuesday, August 10th at 3:30 AM CST. OK, there’s no way I’ll be [...]
I attended Swami Veda Bharati’s lecture last night at the U of MN (pic above is of Swami Veda… and me getting dragged up on stage). The lecture was fantastic. I wish I could have filmed it to share with you all. Ahh, but no worries, Swami Veda has a YouTube Channel! Check [...] Wow, I’ve been MIA for a while, eh? Bout time I got back to bloggin. I miss it and feel like I’m out of the health loop! Here’s one adventure that kept me busy last week: I participated in AFSP’s Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk for suicide prevention. Which reminds me, I’m still a little short [...] Ten years ago, I was in a sort of catatonic shock from my dad’s death. I thought my life had been destroyed– most of our possessions were repossessed or sold, we were kicked out of our home and I no longer had a dad. I was just turning 18 and I had no idea how [...]
After finishing my academic *stuff* on Wednesday, I was left with a strange void and question in my mind… “What now?!” The feeling was too much for me So, I went back to my second home (my MAC) and stumbled across a contest for the OWN Network. I was stoked to see [...] This should be worth a watch:
Learn more from the PBS website and watch the piece April 7th, 8/7C on PBS.
I posted about the NYTs article The Americanization of Mental Illness not long ago. Fascinating read BTW. The article was adapted from Ethan Watters book, Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche. The book is now out in stores and is on my spring break reading list. If you check it out before [...] The Mayo Clinic released their Meditation App for the iPhone and iPod Touch… and the reviews that I’ve heard haven’t been so hot. Some of the complaints are that the App is overpriced and too simplistic. The expensive complaint I get, but let’s be serious, how complex should something be if its purpose is to [...]
FASCINATING article from the NYTs: The Americanization of Mental Illness. If you read it, please comment back here. I would love to hear more opinions on this one… A continuation from yesterday’s post…
I watched the doco Yoga Inc. last night and found it to be pretty fascinating. The amount of money being thrown at yoga is enough to throw anyone into a back bend (no joke, I dropped way too much money on some yoga clothes just last month). [...]
Great lines from the documentary Enlighten Up!: Nick: ”When I’m twisting myself into a pretzel in the yoga studio, I’m thinking, ‘What the hell is the connection between this and enlightenment?’” Norman Allen: ”Nothin. Absolutely nothin.” Check out these clips:
I found these clips really fascinating and [...] The last decade of January 7′s have not been so hot for me. But this January 7 was really different. Today’s date marks the 10 year anniversary of my dad’s death. It was a long road for me to move past his death and finally discover happiness in my life. But, all that screwing around, [...] So, what do you think, is depression a disease? I’ve been exploring this question for many years now. And the more I explore the more questions I have. Nonetheless, the exploration has been healing in and of itself. Here’s a fascinating debate that I came across a few years ago whenI was working on a project. [...] These are the three things on my mind right now. I know, random. But, they’re kind of connected… Last week was finals week for me. Ugh. The dreaded week always gets the best of me. One day last week, I actually had malt balls for breakfast. Yup, malt balls. And quite a few of them. This evening was a bit [...] Dr. Matthieu Ricard is absolutely amazing (learn more about him in this interview).
