Recorded on August 3, 2023, the third anniversary of the podcast. This episode sat untouched for nearly 4 months before I edited it. This episode is a bit of a three year recap, some things I've noticed, learned, and would like to change. Why has it taken 3 and a half months to edit this episode? We'll talk about that in Episode 25. Stay tuned.

She is here! The light has emerged out of the darkness.
All things are held in a state of balance. Picture the Chinese symbol of Yin Yang. Equal parts black and white, which chase one another in a circle infinitely. They coexist. They are intertwined. Not a single thing is exempt from this. There is a dark side to everything light, but there’s also a light side to everything dark. There is always a positive with a negative. We see it in electrical currents.. We see it in the breath, the in flow and out flow as the heart pumps blood throughout our bodies. These energies exist in every single atom with electrons and protons. These atoms make up the entire existence of everything. Nothing is exempt. So why should we be surprised when this constant up and down manifests throughout our lives?

These are my final words as a childless man. Our baby is due to be born this week and I am equally excited and nervous. I just want to do good by this human being. Also, some big news is revealed at the end. Stick around.

This is a call to use mindfulness as we vote this election cycle. There are ideas for healing our great division in the U.S. This is also a plea to treat others with kindness, love, and respect. If you're interested in finding common ground, and you'd like to have an open and honest discussion or you believe I am missing some information which you have access to, feel free to reach out.

Much Love.

Vacations are interesting things. They are like little life microcosms. In most instances we attempt to vacate our regular lives, jobs and responsibilities. Yet we find pretty quickly that we cannot escape ourselves. Sometimes in an attempt to be free of stress for a short time, we end up creating a lot more of it through our planning and expectations. We make a plan and we want to stick to it. A lot of the time we go into them having certain expectations of people, locations, experiences and accommodations. In my case on this trip, much like the beginning of life, I didn’t choose where I was going or who I was going with. As I was invited on this trip, it was a bit easier to sit back and enjoy the ride. I decided that I would use this vacation to practice mindfulness. To be present, and to be okay with what is in every moment. 

Quoted in this episode is a passage from Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian L. Weiss

A few years ago I was having a difficult time in my mind. My life on paper was great, but I was constantly being bombarded with thoughts of inadequacy, meaninglessness, and unimportance. 

I had heard the founder of Headspace, a meditation app, in a radio interview some months earlier and had downloaded the app upon his promise of making life a little bit better if I dedicated at least five minutes a day to mindful meditation. I wasn’t able to find even 5 minutes to try this app out that had sat unopened on my phone for two or three months, until one day when I was finally fed up with my minds constant chatter. I put in some headphones, opened the app and started the 5 minute animated introduction. 

This is how I stumbled upon a daily mindful meditation practice.
