I am very pleased to welcome Vicki Znavor to Zen Commuter. She is the author of Authenticity Reawakened, and has come her to talk about being our true selves.

If you thought that meditation was a spiritual practice, and not for lay people, then think again. Today I talk about the neuroscience of meditation

Tomorrow I am very excited to have you meet my newest best friend, Vicki Znavor.  She is an absolute delight, and the work that she is doing is right in keeping with Zen Commuter.  She is helping people turn their focus inwardly to discover their true self.  Come join us for a great conversation.

Kaia Fischer and Mindy Newman wrote a great article that talks about compassion and Karma, and it's a great way to end Tricycle Week.

Today I share with you a great interview with Bikkhu Bodhi who talks about the significance of referring to the Buddha as "The Enlightened One" as opposed to "The Awakened One".  Come listen

In meditation there are many focuses, the breath or a mantra to name a few.  But as Pamela White explains, listening to someone speak with complete mindfulness is a perfect way to enjoy a conversation.

I used to think that being Buddhist was a similar experience for everyone; a sangha a retreat for all people.  Today I share an interview by James Shahhen who talks with editors of the Anthology Black and Buddhist, Pamela Ayo Yetunde and Cheryl A. Giles

It's a brand new week of Tricycle, the Buddhist magazine.  I have chosen some outstanding articles to read that help us understand the nature of Buddhism in our daily lives.  Today is a great start with Norman Fischer as he talks about the impossibility of fear in the present moment.

Today I wanted to take a moment to answer a question that I listener posed to me over the weekend. I let them know that the question they had might be one that many people have. So today they graciously agreed to let me share it with you.

Most meditators start off their sessions taking nice deep breaths, which is good. Those same people bring their attention back to the breath when their mind wanders.  Why is that? Let's talk about it.
