  • #29 Part 1: Intrinsic and Extrinsic Rewards-- Finding Flow

    Today’s meditation asks us to be with the experience of our feelings purely and separate from the thoughts that accompany them, a practice that few of us have been taught.

    After Jess shares a project she’s excitedly working on, the discussion turns toward the intrinsically, or internally rewarding and the extrinsically, or externally rewarded things we do. If an intrinsically rewarding life is a more flowing and joyful life, then how do we approach those extrinsic tasks that inevitably move us toward more of what we want?

    Today Frank dives into a recent experience that left him ruminating. Ruminating can signal that we may be stuck on the drama triangle and have parts that need attending. Frank shares the process of attending to his parts and Jess shares about her experience with fasting for the first time.

  • #27 Pt 2: Tapas…More than Just Small Bites
    #27 Part 2 Tapas… More than Just Small Bites
    When Frank and Jess look to understand Frank’s personal growth trajectory, they return to Frank’s brain tumor experience. Jess brings in three yogic concepts, including tapas. Not easily translated from Sanskrit, tapas is often translated as fiery zeal, austerity, or intense discipline. With this inspiration, they look at the effect of Frank’s two and half year long near-death experience on his personal spiritual clarity. The three yogic concepts mentioned in this podcast are from the beginning of the second book of Patanjali’s sutras. Here’s a little bit more about them.
    In Sanskrit sutra 2.1 reads: tapah svadhyaya isvara pranidhanani kriya yogah
    Tapas is a verb meaning to heat, shine, purify, or be changed by fire.
    Svadhyaya is a combination of self (sva) and study (adhyaya). Adhyaya refers specifically to studying portions or chapters or lessons and, combined with sva, could be interpreted as an encouragement to have an understanding of each and every chapter of our lives.
    Isvara pranidhana is complete surrender (pranidhana) to the source of all things, the teacher of all teachers (Isvara)
    The last two words, kriya yogah, refer to Kriya Yoga, the Yoga of Action.

  • #26 Authentic Desire

    Beginning in the few minutes of meditation with what’s present, we explore what becomes one of the themes of the day, seeing the universal in the personal. Have you ever noticed how the movement between personal and interpersonal spaces is one of the most basic and yet tricky parts of being in a healthy relationship? Bringing our authentic desire is essential to authentic connection.

    After a 9 minute meditation, we get right into an exploration of what “good” and “bad” emotions look like through a non-dual lens and how the story of the Tower of Babel may explain why “We Chat” is so dang tricky. Enjoy!

    What’s unblending? Today, after 6 minutes dropping our awareness into our heart and belly, we look at how to find space from our critical messages and the pressure of “trying for excellence”. Who are we once we stop trying?

  • #23 A Wee Chat about “We Chat”

    Starting with a short drop into the heart and belly and the basic emotions, we discover how Frank’s energetic flatness affects Jess’s enthusiasm. And so begins a conversation exemplifying many key features of “We Chat”* which we eventually make explicit. Other themes include our adaptive child parts and their relationships with the energies of our fathers.

    *For more on We Chat, check out our first episode about the Modes of Communication.

    After a short 4 minute meditation with the senses, we create safety before beginning a “We need to talk” conversation. We revisit Jessica’s definition of Reciprocal Vulnerability and Frank brings attention to his young parts wanting recognition. This sets us into a juicy conversation about the difference between what our young parts think they want and how it actually feels in our system to receive that now.
