Michelle Thornton | Jacob Carignan—https://ordinarystillness.com —What if instead of feeling fundamentally damaged we acted from a place of feeling fundamentally good? In Tibet there is an understanding that all humans are basically good. We all have a seed of compassion and kindness within us to cultivate. Michelle and I discuss this idea along with faith, investing happiness, God, Spider-Man and birds! Join us as we explore interesting areas together and learn new things about each other’s different view of the world as we meet in the middle.

Karma...a very misunderstood concept to western eyes. Karma is more about how our mind forms habits and behaviors rather than getting hit by lighting because we do wrong. Hoping karma will bite someone in the ass is a slight misunderstanding of how it all works. Listen to this episode to get more detailed ideas of karma and side rants about ghosting, transcending our minds and much much more.

Do you believe in ghosts? Carmen has always been deeply connected to spirituality and subtle energies that go beyond our normal perception. As a very skeptical scientific based human we meet somewhere in the middle discussing mediumship and spirituality. Come take a seat and hear stories of ghost encounters, table tipping and Irish soap in this spooky Mother’s Day special!

Meditation? Mindfulness? Light Roast or Dark? Let’s get down to business by jumping straight to our favorite topic, coffee. In our journey towards happiness we explore life and attachment. Many people do things daily to create a happier life for themselves, but sometimes they get attaché to the wrong sources. Join Steve and Jake as they explore the topic of attachment and how it effects us daily. It may be cliche, but happiness comes from within our hearts...not from the bottom of a pot of coffee. Although we love a good pot of coffee! Thanks for stopping by on this wild ride.

Welcome to Ordinary Stillness. Where a Mindfulness Meditation teacher discusses with friends, coworkers and perhaps strangers topics about Buddhism, life and much much more.

In this episode we dive into rumination, the idea of getting lost in our heads and worrying about worrying. We explore the connection between emotions and repeating stories in our heads, until we get lost into our own stories that may or may not be related to the subject at hand. Enjoy our discussion and sit back and relax with Steve and Jake.
