Only an undivided soul can be victorious, for they have realised there is nothing or no one to fight with. Battling and struggling on the spiritual path happens when we haven’t quite grasped the truth of the self. We’ve been busy sharpening our swords, but haven’t yet penetrated behind the veil of a 1000 paper tigers.

[Unedited] David Steindl-Rast with Krista Tippett

Now nearing 90, Brother David Steindl-Rast has lived through a World War, the end of an empire, and the fascist takeover of his country. He's given a TED talk, viewed over five million times, on the subject of gratitude — a practice increasingly interrogated by scientists and physicians as a key to human well-being. He was also an early pioneer, together with Thomas Merton, of dialogue between Christian and Buddhist monastics. In this conversation from our visit to the Gut Aich Priory monastery in St. Gilgen, Austria, he speaks of mysticism as the birthright of every human being, and of the anatomy and practice of gratitude as full-blooded, reality-based, and redeeming.

I think it's safe to say that Veela and I are both very happy about how this song turned out. The chorus might very well be my favourite AK & Veela one :)

Lyrics:
Yeah, I'm totally good
Why do you look surprised?
Oh yeah, you told me you would
Told you, shouldn't bet on my feelings
Yeah, I'm totally good
Don't look so surprised
Oh yeah you told me you would
Hold up, wait a minute, do what you said you would
Cause, yeah you told me you would
Hold up, wait a minute and give me something good
Yeah, you said that you would

Discomfort then made me treasure now
I know how to turn the past into a weapon
An enemy that I need to best
Some way somehow
The negative in us is a test
Bring us around
To better things
Someone to make me linbo
Hey, what do you think?
Of course! That's so simple!
I never would have thought of that without your intervention
I guess I was caught up assuming out your inattention

I don't want to look, but I know I should
Questioning if I'm the person that I want to find
Tiens, prends une loupe, tes yeux me découpent
Déja, I don't really care if you see inside
I'm an open book, can be understood
No messing around with hidden meaning leaving you blind
Mon histoire est courte, mais mes yeux dégoutent
Déja, and I'm not even halfway through mine

Open your heart, let me into your home
Right through your headphones

AK & Veela - Discomfort

Breathe confidence into your practice and courage into your life by learning to be with whatever experience life brings you. This fifteen minute offering to yourself is the perfect way to tap into your own aliveness in an energizing and inspiring way. "And when you follow the out-breath all the way to the end, it can draw you into a moment of stillness...by practicing in this way, over and over again, the breath can become a rudder to navigate the ups and downs of life with just a little bit more peacefulness, trust, and clarity." "Clearly knowing how it is for you right now -- and that however it is, it's not a mistake -- this is the truth of the moment. It couldn't be any other way. You couldn't be any other way than how you are right now. There is no right or wrong way to be; the beauty of this practice is what's happening right now, who and how you are, is exactly the way it was meant to be simply because it is...simply because it's so."

15 minute Guided Breath Meditation with Trudy Goodman

Dynamics in relationships can be understood and integrated while staying present with them. When we withdraw from each other, there is a gap and potential for conflicts arises. Feeling deep discomfort as well as deep joy and happiness with one another is just the beginning of love.
