In this episode, I take you to meditation class where I touch on current news about men, women, and truth as a way into looking at our multi-perspective world. I include the meditation on Shiva consciousness, so you can join in!

I mention a Kirtan I'm leading with IDGY DEAN on October 18. Here's the link for tickets. It's also a release party for our Kirtan EP recording, which we're mixing as I speak. Please come and chant!

This bonus is an excerpt from my novel, Incarnation and a Cliff Notes-style cheat sheet below in the notes. The book follows a journalist, an actor, a writer, and a programmer whose dreams and desires play out together on the global stage, again and again. Each time, they find meaning as they spin on life's mysterious wheel of fortune.

This is excerpt 7. I am also excerpting the Incarnation Cheat Sheet that lives on my website, below. You can find Incarnation, the book, at Amazon.com.

[SPOILER ALERT!]

Incarnation is, deliberately, a bit of a puzzle. For readers who linger with books until their memory gets fuzzy, or those who read the last page of a book first, or who like having the solution to a crossword puzzle handy, the following excerpt from the cheat sheet notes the relationships and pivotal moments of the incarnations in the novel.

Chapter Three: The Birth of Veritage

In another incarnation, Ryoko has never met Joseph (nor Jacquot), but has begun a romance with Krishna. ATB contacts Ryoko and helps establish the Veritage program with offices in Washington, D.C. Joseph, the film auteur, takes part in publicizing Veritage.

Chapter Four: Lucy

In today’s episode, Wendy and I discuss self-study, or svadhyaya in Sanskrit. We look at it from the perspective of dealing with your own emotions in order to evolve — or to learn the lessons of your life that help you find real happiness.

I mention a few goodies:

In today's episode, we head to ISHTA for a meditation class. The theme of the class is doing your practice, so I thought it would be a good encouragement for those of you who just listen to the podcast instead of practicing!

Class includes a talk about the topic, a break where you can pause the recording and do some asana if it's convenient, then the guided meditation practice. There is an 18-minute space for meditation followed by a practice to bring inspiration back into your life.
