Skidding in this playback for you to enjoy whilst I'm up and away with the french fairies :) Sooo pleased to have RICHARD ELLIS back behind the mic with tales of MOROCCO and a right good chat about one of my fave subjects REIKI CHI KUNG!  Several tracks in this show, thinking I was short on content as original plans to interview the FORGIVENESS lady SHAWNE DUPERON fell by the wayside and then the interview I did with AMANDA ELLIS (no relation to Richard:) on the forgiveness subject got lost in the space between devices - so will put that subject on the back burner, knowing that is a very powerful energy to work with and bring in the delicious young and very wise CHARLIE MORLEY who chats about his days as a HIP HOP artist and transition to BUDDHISM and the LUCID DREAMING he has explored and made available for us to gain the gifts from.
Sooo looking forward to his talk on the 16 Oct for Conscious Living Events :)

I'll do more extensive link ups when I return;

What is art therapy?
What types of issues can art therapy be effective for treating?
Why do you think art therapy is effective?
Is there any research into art therapy and its efficacy as a treatment approach?
What actually happens in an art therapy session?
What do you say to clients that say 'I'm not creative! I can't make art!’?
What are the different types of mediums for art therapy?

Ep 25 - Dream Researcher Kelly Bulkeley

Nearly 1 in 10 people possess some form of personality disorder. Which means there’s a very good chance that you will encounter someone with this disorder at some point in your life, if you haven’t already. They might be your boss, your lover, your parent, your spiritual teacher, or even your presidential candidate. And while many suffer their condition quietly and without any major harm to themselves or the people around them, others can be tremendously dangerous — especially if they have achieved a position of power (and the more severe the disorder, the greater the tendency to seek these powerful positions.)

How can we engage these personalities with care and compassion, while remaining fully attentive to our own safety and personal boundaries? Listen to find out!

Dharmabytes Podcast #538 - "A New Way to Metta" by Ratnaguna

Pulling from her insight and wealth of experience in the art of mindfulness, Sharon responds to some of the questions and concerns that often arise when one delves into the practice of Loving Kindness meditation. This particular practice is unique in its more active approach to offering kindness to ourselves and others, and can be confusing during initial integration. Topics discussed include appropriate phrases, understanding the right effort involved relative to other forms of practice, aversion to sympathetic joy, incorporating family into Loving Kindness, and acknowledging and working with the roots of difficulty within practice.

Sharon Salzberg - Metta Hour - Ep. 37 - Questions On Loving Kindness

Episode Outline:
• Dharma Punk – Noah talks about his experience with addiction and how it led him to the Buddhist Path.
• A Community Effort – Noah revisits the origins of Refuge Recovery and shares about all of the preparation that went into the endeavor.
• Refuge Recovery –In the Refuge Recovery book, Noah writes, “Refuge Recovery is a practice, a process, a set of tools, a treatment, and a path to healing addiction and the suffering caused by addiction.” Which we discuss.
• Addiction Creates Suffering – Noah and I explore The Four Truths of recovery, beginning with the First Truth, which is, addiction creates suffering. In Refuge Recovery, Noah writes, “This is not a philosophy. It is a practice; it demands action. We must understand, acknowledge, admit, and take this action by writing and sharing an in-depth and detailed inventory of the suffering we have experienced in association with our addictions.” Can you expand on that?
• The Cause of Addiction Is Repetitive Craving – The Second Truth of recovery is that the cause of addiction is repetitive craving. In Refuge Recovery Noah writes, “We have come to understand that all forms of addiction have their roots in the natural human tendency to crave for life to be more pleasurable and less painful than it actually is. The addict is not at fault for the root causes and conditions that lead to addiction, only for the habitual reactive patterns that perpetuate it.” Which again, we discuss.
• Recovery Is Possible – The Third Truth of recovery is that recovery is possible. In Refuge Recovery Noah writes write, “Freedom from the suffering caused by addiction is attainable, if we are ready and willing to take responsibility for our actions and to follow the Eightfold Path. As you enter this process and attend group meetings, you will connect with many others who have also suffered the consequences of addiction and are now recovering. Allow the group to inspire you and to show the possibilities of recovery, while also making room for the imperfections of some of the individuals within the group.”
• The Path To Recovery – So The Four Noble Truths sets out the way, the Eightfold Path, that leads to the end of suffering and is composed of eight factors, which Noah talks about.
• Buddhist Atheist – Noah and I discuss an interesting conversation we recently had about God in relation to recovery and relapse.
• Moving Forward – Noah talks about the current and future state of Refuge Recovery.

This talk from Roshi Joan Halifax looks at reversing the dynamic of the defended heart, and finding strength in vulnerability. 

Roshi reflects on:

- How our practice can confirm our inherent strength to uphold ourselves in the midst of any conditions. 
- To practice or realize fundamental equanimity and stay absolutely tender hearted. 
- "We are plagued by fear--fear in the experience of a separate and solid self. Which we need to define and defend."
- At times even our own spirituality can be put out there as a defense.
- Love is a meltdown that re-establishes a more unified base of brilliance goodness and sadness.

This lecture will include discussion, case material, film clips, and a little of our own creativity.
