In a changing world it can be easy to feel fear. Sometimes we aren't even aware of this fear, but all the same, deep down it can be driving many of our behaviours and habitual thoughts (patterns). It is natural to want to 'seek benefit and avoid harm' and fear is a natural response that comes out of this need. However when fear dominates our decisions and actions we lose clarity. The true us is no longer in charge and we have let fear take it's place. In a changing world it is easy, and understandable to feel fear, however it is also possible to understand this fear, and where it has come from, and make the most important change possible. Change to ourselves.

Tong Yuan - working on your heart

In this podcast we chat with our friend Suzi about the things we do to connect to nature, whether it is a forest, a majestic waterfall, a flower growing in the city (or at a deeper level the city itself). As well as this, we discuss how it feels to experience the qualities of nature, which, because fundamentally we are also nature, are natural qualities of humans too, and how this helps us to understand ourselves more fully in the process.

Often when faced with challenges all our focus goes to the external, to finding a solution. In this episode however we share our experience of the importance of how we are internally, so that we can face any challenges that life brings in the best way possible. This is a very practical episode full of tips and tricks, enjoy.

It's natural to want things to go in a positive direction. For life to go how we want it and for people to be how we want them to be. The problems start however when this want/need becomes a pattern. In this podcast we share our thoughts on the difficulties the 'Urge to Control' brings to life and some simple ways we can be more relaxed, at peace, and ironically more in control of our own lives, as we begin to change this pattern.

Hi everyone, Jay here, I'm sharing one of my absolutely favorite techniques, a simple meditation that you can use anytime. It can help you to get into a deep, relaxed and calm state. The best possible state for dealing with whatever life brings. I'll talk more about this at the start, as the saying goes: Silence isn't empty, it's full of answers.

Finally, the topic we have been wanting to talk about for so long, the topic that all our conversations have been leading up to so far. :-). Have a listen, we look forward to sharing with you.

When the heart is free it is at peace, we are free and we feel a sense of spaciousness. We can still deal with whatever needs to be dealt with in life, but how we do it may become different and the capacity we have will be greatly increased. From this place we will realize the importance of internal freedom (quite different from external freedom, we talk about this a bit too) and get a sense of the hearts potential. In this episode we talk about this quality, our experiences and some of the challenges we could need to overcome along the way.

The quality of forgiveness is a natural state of the heart, a true feeling that allows us to accept and accommodate all that has happened. In difficult times it is easy to blame others and to feel hurt, and to find ways to justify feeling this way. However understanding this quality of forgiveness and how to cultivate it can take us beyond this and into a place, that for most of us, is totally new. At the moment, society is looking more and more divided, therefore understanding and deepening our experience of forgiveness has become more important than ever. This was a fun and lighthearted conversation about our own experiences of forgiveness, we invite you to join us.
