Hollywood Meetings, Selling A Show To Netflix, And Being Fired - Laverne McKinnon

Home Retreats help us inject some of the powerful teachings of the Buddha directly into our everyday lives. This week we’re joined by Balajit, Singhashri and Viveka to talk about what lies behind their latest week-long collaborative venture with The Buddhist Centre [Live] - the enigmatically titled ‘The Three Bodies of Belonging’. 

In this episode we dive into the the traditional Buddhist teaching / images / metaphors / experiences of the three kayas (‘bodies’): Dharmakaya, Samboghakaya and Nirmanakaya. These are correlated respectively, via Urygyen Sangharakshita’s reading of the Tibetan yogi and mystic Milarepa, with human mind, speech and physical body. The discussion that arises out of this takes in not just what it means to belong - but also questions of longing: what the heart yearns for, how we conceive of liberation itself via an embodied and relational approach to Awakening.

We explore what individuality and collectivity look and feel like in the light of the trikaya - how the whole of the teaching is pointing to human potential where we have the same faculties, senses, heart, body and mind as the Buddha and everyone else who has ever trodden this path. In that sense, like Buddhism at its best, it’s a profoundly hopeful, healing conversation requiring honesty, vulnerability and a new perspective on ‘self’, ‘other’ and our relationships in the face of the universe.

How do we change our stories to allow for genuine and profoundly transformative connection in a suffering world? How might we resource ourselves to blow open wide our own “window of tolerance” for whatever arises in life and become beings with a boundless heart? Join us on the Home Retreat - live or after the fact - to discover with other seekers the luminous and boundless possibilities beyond trauma, fear, anxiety, heartbreak and all that holds us back from a true sense of belonging.

Podcast Description: Hello listeners, in today’s episode, we’re exploring what grief means. Grief is a deeply personal experience, and its meaning can vary widely from person to person. For some, grief is a process of healing and remembrance. For others, it’s a way to honor the life of a loved one and the impact they had. Grief can encompass a wide range of emotions, including sadness, anger, guilt, and even relief. Understanding what grief means to you can help you navigate your emotions and find a path towards healing. Here are five journal questions to help you delve into the meaning of grief in your life: 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What does grief mean to you personally? 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; How has your understanding of grief evolved over time? 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In what ways has grief shaped your identity and your view of the world? 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; How do you honor your grief and the memories of your loved one? 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What role does grief play in your ongoing journey of healing and self-discovery? Reflecting on these questions can help you uncover the deeper significance of grief in your life. Embrace your unique grief journey and find meaning in the process.

Understanding the Meaning of Grief

This is a song I wrote in memory of my brother when he passed away. We were very close, and life is definitely not the same without him here.

Lyrics:

(Y2K)

I was holding out for you
For a while
Can't process the truth
That's denial

I fell from the clouds
now I'm dying
If I said I felt love 
I'm lying

there's something in the 
Way you let me go 

there's something
you know, that I don't

I wish I could take back time
I wish I could make you mine again

Way you let me go 

there's something
you know, that I don't

I wish I could take back time
I wish I could make you mine again

Denial Ft. Dickmaths

☆ Yearn for my body my flesh and my bones ☆
☆ My organs and spirit my mind and my soul ☆
☆ I'm full of resent and you're covered in it ☆
☆ I'm having a vision an oracle sent ☆
☆ Yearn for the taste of my sorrow and gall ☆
☆ I'm flowing with evil the kindness installed ☆
☆ The hood of the tent it uncovers a mess ☆
☆ I'm having a vision I cannot express ☆

☆ I'm having a vision of us on a crest ☆
☆ We're running too fast and we fell on our chests ☆
☆ I wasn't the worst but I wasn't the best ☆
☆ What could I do different I'm scratching my head ☆
☆ If I could go back I would read all the texts ☆
☆ And listen more closely I'll miss you in death ☆

It feels strange to wake up the day after our faithful dog Miranda is no longer here after 17 years. One of our morning routines was for her to chill out next to the piano while I made up things.

It feels strange to wake up the day after our companion Miranda is no longer here after 17 years. One of our morning routines was for her to chill out next to the piano while I made up things.  So it made sense to make a few things this morning. Here's one of them.

Journey of the Soul 2024
Lesson 6: Life Is Short(ish)
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
Recorded Live at The Torah Center ATL on Wednesday, September 25, 2024

By now we’ve come to appreciate death as the next phase in our ongoing personal missions. In our final lesson, we use what we’ve learned to revisit our priorities in this current phase and find ways to fill every moment with everlasting significance.

Journey of the Soul 2024 - Lesson 6: Life Is Short(ish) | Rabbi Ari Sollish

Podcast Description: Welcome back! Today we’re discussing whether grief and loss are the same. While loss is the event – the end of something or someone dear – grief is our reaction to that loss. Understanding this distinction can help us navigate our emotions better. Loss can take many forms, including the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a significant life change. Grief is the emotional response to these losses, encompassing a range of feelings such as sadness, anger, and confusion. Here are five journal questions to help you explore the distinction between grief and loss:  &nbsp;  How do you differentiate between the concepts of grief and loss in your experience? What specific losses have you experienced, and how have you grieved each one? How does understanding this distinction help you navigate your emotions? What coping mechanisms have you found helpful in dealing with loss and grief? How can you support others in recognizing and processing their own grief and loss?  Use these questions to gain clarity on your experiences and find effective ways to cope with both grief and loss. Remember, acknowledging the difference can help you better understand and manage your emotions.

Stay tuned for more discussions and support on your grief journey. &nbsp;

The Difference Between Loss and Grief

In grief, we mourn the loss of a physical presence. At times the intensity of our sadness can mask a more subtle presence. 

In today's meditation, we cultivate our connection to the unseen world and the Life Force that lives there. Through this connection, we can access a more complete understanding of our grief, and the subtle presence that lives beyond our physical senses.
