Have you ever met someone who has a job that seems like something they were born to do? Not only do their skills match up with their job, but they genuinely enjoy their work. Now you might think it's just plain luck that landed them their career, but my guest today has written a book about how you can turn the odds more in your favor in the career lottery.

#191: Finding the Work You Were Meant To Do

Michael suggests that you need to get deeper than cognition and stories, in order to heal trauma. It’s what we have created in the wake of painful events, that need healing. Knowing when to name our symptoms and then when to drop the pathology. Meditation Facilitation Program, London, 40 min. Recorded on July 31, 2016.

Healing Trauma Through the Body

Michael speaks about composure, waiting 5 breaths when we are aggravated, and how patience is not about waiting for something, it’s really a matter of being where you are. The talk begins with a story about his young son and ends with a sing-along. Salt Spring Island, Canada. 50 min. Recorded August 25, 2016.

Deeper & Deeper Patience

Based on a Zen story, Michael talks about wholehearted activity, compassion, and throwing yourself to the ground when someone falls.

I Saw You Fall, So I Helped (Stockholm)

Michael lectures on the end of 2nd chapter of the Yoga-Sutra and then gets into a very precise mapping of what happens to the ego when you get into deeper states of calm and how to practice without dissociating. Recorded in Stockholm, September 8, 2016.

Allowing For Experience: Practicing Non-Separation

On this episode of Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das talks about our illusion of separateness and the reality that all is one, "sub ek."

In this simple phrase, "sub ek," Maharajji summarizes the same thing wise men have always reminded us, that we are all one being. Krishna Das shows us how through practice we can dispel the illusion of separateness and begin a better way of being.

Joseph continues a five-part series on the Four Noble Truths. This week: The Cessation of Dukkha.

The third of the Four Noble Truths is the cessation of dukkha, which is the ending of our suffering by letting go of attachment. Joseph explains the teachings of the Buddha on the cessation of dukkha and how to apply them in our practice.
