The Values Workshop

One of the most candid and sensitive chats on the series on Death. The  impromptu nature of the chat helps open up avenues one hasn't thought  about and our guest deliberates and finds words for emotions difficult  to express. A short chat, but not short on covering some essential  thoughts on the subject. Do check it out. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

The topic of vulnerability heats up nicely as we get into a discussion of the mind states. For example, we talk about the difference between letting go and resigning, and how it is important to befriend failure to ease into any situation. What a wonderful and engaging chat this has turned out to be. Do tune in. For more videos, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

In this part the guest and I talk about deeper aspects of vulnerability including addressing the subject with respect to relationships as well. We also talk about the subtler inner workings of the mind when it comes to handling our inadequacy about our own selves. An insightful chat, this. Do listen in. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

Years after I met him, I meet this friend again in a chat on  vulnerability. He is quite categorical about how he perceives  vulnerability as a compulsory part of almost everything in our lives. An  extremely wonderful conversation covering the importance of our own  responsibility in owning up to our fears and doubts as much as our being  confident of how things work. Check it out.

This talk gets into the mental state of dread when we think of death  among other things. There is also a sane look at acceptance in this chat  with a guest who is an engineer, a teacher and has gone through his own  struggle with the acceptance of death due to the passing away of  someone close. A measured, quieter and much contemplative conversation,  this. Do check it out. For the videos, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

In this concluding part we touch upon the growth in vulnerability aspect, a positive in what seems like a highly challenging subject. Our guest digs deeper and finds the balance of both the geographic regions, one she belonged to and the one she has moved to. Quite a few NRIs would relate to her experiences and for the rest of us, it is an eye-opener of sorts. Don't miss it.  For more videos, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

This part sees us share a few stressful examples from our professional lives and move on to the problems one faces when one shifts base to another country. Our guest now takes us through her insecurities as openly as she can and it is sure to resonate with many who have shifted to varying geographies for different reasons. What an interesting conversation this is turning out to be. Do tune in. For more conversations, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

So here we are with the first sharing in the new series. 'The Vulnerable Me' is a response to the many different challenges our minds face, not always from the world and its events, but often from our own minds. Our fears, doubts and insecurities are obstacles to our happiness and our guests will discuss how they faced and overcame their own selves. Check this out.

When you talk to someone who is a practising psychologist, it leads to interesting points of view. In this episode, we listen to someone who seems to combine emotional and practical truths with a wisdom different from others. But it is not all gyaan, we hear what I could call a hack into dealing with the grief of death. Do tune in. For more videos, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

This time we have someone who talks fascinatingly about Death. She is a  medical professional and has also learnt Past Life Regression. A  combination which makes both the questions and the discussion off-beat  from what we have heard so far. She delves deeply and honestly in her  experiences to share with us what she thinks about this difficult topic.  What a beautiful conversation this is. Don't miss it.
