 -- So why don't we do it? 😉 

Join Betty for a musing on creating the space to enjoy moments -- both for your present moment self AND for your future self.

Tad Hargrave is a true gem. 💎 

Having grown up a waldorf-educated hippie, he later got into the world of marketing & business.

Witnessing the unethical & sleazy tactics employed by so many of the marketing gurus, he was moved to establish another way -- and so was born "Marketing For Hippies" -  the promise that marketing can be ethical -- and importantly-- can feel good.

This conversation is a deep-dive into the two major stumbling blocks when it comes to marketing your business -- the outer world of strategy, know-how, and action -- and the inner world of vision and belief.

ENJOY! ☺️

You can find Tad and all his amazing content at www.marketingforhippies.com
and binge-watch his Youtube playlists 😉  here: https://www.youtube.com/@marketingforhippies

"You Can Keep your Tesla!"  - Give me a bicycle, and a rainy Welsh valley and I'm good.  😆  

~

Join me, as I experience what I describe as a 'peak experience'.

Sense fields agog; perceiving the beauty (and moisture 😉 ) of the Welsh countryside in spring.

~

How does one experience wealth?

For me it's all about bike rides and drinking chai in the rain.
 
What is it for you?

Be Wealthy Now:

- Learn what you love... what makes you feel the most alive~! - and build your life around it. 

- Open your sense fields to the abundance of the natural world; always expansive, always there. 

- Consider how easily we  judge another. . .  who might be further along the road, driving a fancy vehicle. But be warned; despite the shiny paintwork,  we can never see what's going on inside their head.

"Appreciation and creativity are inseparable – they also give rise to each other. When that happens, thankfulness and cheer arise as a natural understanding that sparkles through your existence." 

I have been fortunate to have been an apprentice in the Aro gTer Tibetan Buddhist lineage for the past ten years, with Ngak'chang Rinpoche and his wife Khandro Déchen, as my root teachers, and my greatest inspiration. ✨ 

In this episode, Rinpoche discusses 'Wealth' as the ability to perceive, and appreciate, via the sense fields.
 
02.03: Betty introduces Ngak'chang Rinpoche
06.42: Ngak'chang Rinpoche; Your wealth is what you appreciate.
11.10: Why people aren't open to appreciation
13:20: Tibetan Refugees in India; money or lack of it doesn't equate to wealth
16.48: Wanting to prove we are 'real', & the need to have opinions
21.16: Why do we need to prove we are real? The fear of death.
26.58: Rinpoche's shirt; fashion & sartorialism
32.18: Rinpoche's working class background, never feeling poor
42.16: Authentic appreciation lasts a lifetime; 1960s fashion & the William Morris jacket
01.02.45: On doubt and failure



About Ngak'chang Rinpoche:

Ngak'chang Rinpoche is the lineage holder of the 'Aro gTer'; a cycle of teachings within the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism.

He has written twelve books, and there are more on the way.
(Buddhist titles are written under the name Ngakpa Chögyam and non-Buddhist titles under the name Doc Togden. Some books are co-written with his wife Khandro Déchen).

As well as writing books and poetry, Rinpoche is an artist, craftsperson, sartorialist, musician, and parent.

You can find him on Facebook.



From www.arobuddhism.org:

"The sea and sky are our shrine room. The natural elements are our meditation."

"The Aro gTér is a Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist lineage whose unusual characteristics make it singularly appropriate for many Westerners. The Aro gTér Tradition is principally concerned with transforming our experience of everyday being, rather than achieving an esoteric or spiritualised mode of existence. 

Our aim is to engender cheerful courage, perceptive consideration, sincere determination, natural gallantry, graciousness, creativity, and spaciousness."
