  • Mirabai Starr
    This week we talk to Mirabai Starr about grief and healing
    Mirabai Starr writes, speaks and leads retreats on the inter-spiritual teachings of the mystics.
    Known for her revolutionary translations of John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, and Julian of Norwich, Mirabai renders mystical masterpieces accessible, beautiful, and relevant to a contemporary circle of seekers. Her commentaries on the interconnected wisdom of all traditions are lyrical and evocative.
    Mirabai builds bridges not only between religious traditions, but also between contemplative life and compassionate service, between cultivating an inner relationship with the Beloved and expressing that intimacy in community, between the transformational power of loss and longing for the sacred.
    Her latest book is called Caravan of No Despair

    In This Interview, Mirabai Starr and I Discuss:



    The One You Feed parable
    Walking the landscape of loss in a genuine way
    Learning to be present even when things are really hard
    The death of her 14 year old daughter
    How sometimes spiritual teachings fail us and are of no use
    Realizing that we share our suffering with so many other people
    The Stages of Grief
    Returning to joy after great loss, it eventually happens
    How tragedy and trauma are not guarantees to transformation
    The states of mind that allow us to turn our pain into treasure
    Cultivating curiosity about our experiences, even when painful
    The Dark Night of the Soul
    The transforming power of love
    How vast we are as beings
    Telling the truth about grief
    The holiness of being broken open
    What mysticism is
    Mystical poetry
    The desire to experience union
    The four arms of yoga in Hinduism
    Approaching the divine in the way that is best for each of us

    The difference between interspiritual and interfaith

      • The Second Arrow- Mini Episode
        The Second Arrow




         “The Buddha once asked a student, “If a person is struck by an arrow, is it painful?” The student replied, “It is."The Buddha then asked, "If the person is struck by a second arrow, is that even more painful?” The student replied again, “It is.” The Buddha then explained, “In life, we cannot always control the first arrow. However, the second arrow is our reaction to the first. The second arrow is optional.”
        Eric describes the parable of the Second Arrow and how it to makes things worse.

        The Tale of Two Wolves
        A grandfather is talking with his grandson and he says there are two wolves inside of us which are always at war with each other. 
        One of them is a good wolf which represents things like kindness, bravery and love. The other is a bad wolf, which represents things like greed, hatred and fear.
        The grandson stops and thinks about it for a second then he looks up at his grandfather and says, “Grandfather, which one wins?”
        The grandfather quietly replies, the one you feed
         
        The Tale of Two Wolves is often attributed to the Cherokee indians but there seems to be no real proof of this. It has also been attributed to evangelical preacher Billy Graham and Irish Playwright George Bernard Shaw. It appears no one knows for sure but this does not diminish the power of the parable.
