  • Changes As We Age

    Join Tyler Woods as she talks about changes as we age. She talks about how the Buddha says all conditioned things are

    impermanent and that includes age. Tyler shares that whenever we cling to resistance to change, we will suffer with inner conflict and will not be at peace. She shares how the solution is to recognize that nothing can be permanently satisfying and that everything is always changing and that means us as we age.  We are all on a path of endless change. If we are to find inner peace, we can’t waste all of our time and effort fighting the natural law of change such as aging. We must embrace it and allow it in without resistance.

  • Overcoming Hate, Anger and Fear

    Join Tyler Woods PhD today as she talk about what the Buddha said about hate. The Buddha's message is that you deserve a life where you can move on and find happiness by letting go of hate. Letting go of hate means to educate ourselves on our fears.  Sadly, what people do not understand is that that on the other side of every fear is freedom. Freedom to understand and not hate. Hate comes from ignorance and when we get angry, we lose the dignity of our intelligence so first and foremost removing ignorance and educating yourself is one of the greatest way to cope with anger which is simply fear. We have a seed of anger in us and we have a seed of compassion in us. Which one do you wish to plant?

She feels that spirituality is for those who recognize that life brings to them that which they create through their thoughts and actions and spiritual practices, and that people are responsible for their own spiritual life experience and believes that spirituality has to do with living with deliberation, consciously and intentionally.

  • Letting Go of the Story You Hold Onto

    Join Tyler Woods for this show as she talks about something that upsets people and that is holding onto their story of trauma. Tyler talks about how people hold on to their pain for so long that they would feel lost without the pain and suffering. Afterall, they would have no story to tell and that has become their identity. Buddhism talks about pain and suffering caused by attachment and yes there is an attachment to pain and the story of how the pain was created. The Buddha wanted us to realize that our suffering is the result of our emotional reactions and not the incident itself. So we learn the process of letting go to allow happiness and inner peace grow.

  • Allowing Negative Experiences Turn to Growth Not Suffering

    Join Tyler Woods as she talks about how in our life, it sometimes takes a negative event to make a positive change. We must keep in mind when someone tried to create suffering, it is because they are suffering deeply within and their suffering is simply spilling over. We have to remember that greatest of all lessons are often delivered through others. Tyler says that a Buddhist teacher reminded her about living lightly, which meant the less we hold on to what we think we want, the more content we become. Living lightly, forgiving and letting go is the Buddhist path that allows you to walk in peace.
