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 [...]

I think we often make this life overly-complicated and destructive (I know I do). In effect, we invite more suffering into our own everyday existence and that of others. The clips below are from the documentary Beyond our Differences. I think the film addresses the repercussions of our destructive thoughts and [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] I love it when science and spirituality play nice together:
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy If you missed my earlier post on Thukdham, be sure to check it out. It will blow your mind… What are your [...] When the firing began, a gap formed in the crowd as those directly outside the gate ran for their lives–all except a 21-year-old monk named Kunga, one of the 200 monks from Chokri Monastery who had joined the demonstration. Kunga found himself caught in the open, right in front of the police gate. [...] I was reading through the NY Times online and found a picture of the Dalai Lama and the Karmapa that grabbed my eyes. Then I took a second, closer glance at the picture… it looked very familiar… after reading the article, I realized that I was at the Dalai Lama’s temple that day! I saw that picture live! I wrote a [...] Yesterday morning, we woke up at 5:00 am (way too early for me) and walked to the Dalai Lama’s temple. After three hours in meditation pose (the entire lower half of my body fell asleep) the Dalai Lama walked by us and then took his seat in the temple. We weren’t far away and were [...] Here are a few of my favorite yoga postures that boost energy and mood:
The above segment is from “Yoga for Life”, a program on Veria. The Veria network has some quality programs; find them on Dish Network channel 9575. Or, if you’re like me and only get 4 channels on your [...] I just watched this and had to share… Phillip Toledano has created a beautiful photo essay about his relationship with his 98 year old father. It’s an amazing story about life, death, the struggle of losing memory, love and so much more. Grab a tissue and check it out… The Esoteric Agenda, a film by Ben Stewart, is a must-see. Watch the film (for free) by clicking here. The film is similar to What the Bleep Do We Know!? (another must-see ) but goes a bit more “out there”. I love the film because it challenges my current beliefs, understandings and expectations that I hold for the [...]
I caught an amazing discussion last night on MPR about depression and spirituality. I especially connected with the disucssion on how the depths of our emotions can bring awareness and glimpses of the soul. I think the topic is timely and applicable to many of us. Whether or not you have experienced depression, I encourage you to [...] I absolutely love this video:
What a wonderful reminder to be present in each moment, seek happiness and to passionately live out our dreams. The voice in the video is Alan Watts, a philosopher and expert in Eastern philosophies. Here’s his website, check it out, he was a fascinating man.
I love this show… Richard Bangs’ Adventures with Purpose. It’s a show that inspires and teaches- and as a bonus, it’s entertaining. Here’s what PBS says about it: A show that combines adventure with travel that makes a difference, travel that positively impacts the world. Join our host, Richard Bangs, the father of modern adventure travel as [...] |
