Problems, dilemmas, ethical choices ... we face decisions in almost every moment of our lives. These may have a range of stakes, consequences, and outcomes. To develop more effective decision making, we must learn to employ self-awareness - to understand how our own experience and interpration can affect our perception. In today's meditation, we practice clarity to aid in problem solving and decision making. ------- Remember that this podcast uses binaural beats, audio technology that affects the brain, so please use headphones, and please do not use this podcast while driving or operating machinery.

'Mind' and 'Body' are the physical parts of our selves. 'Spirit', in its simplest context, is the non-physical part of our selves. We experience our selves through emotion, thought, breath, and proprioception or self-selse. We may consider 'energy' to be the movement and mobility of our sensed experience - in mind, body, and spirit. In today's meditation, we cultivate energy. ------- Remember that this podcast uses binaural beats, audio technology that affects the brain, so please use headphones, and please do not use this podcast while driving or operating machinery.

To be honest, I am feeling overwhelmed. On the outside, I am discouraged by endless news of our warmongering and dysfunctioning government. On the inside, I am still processing the years of intense social isolation during the pandemic, with no work prospects, after a vibrant pre-pandemic career and social life. I am hyper-vigilant and jumpy. Creatively, I feel uninspired. I find it difficult and awkward to socialize, sleep, or even rest. During periods of overwhelm, the best thing I can do for myself is to let my parasympathetic nervous system take over. This is the part of our nervous systems responsible for our 'rest and reset'. In today's meditation, we calm our nervous system. ------- Remember that this podcast uses binaural beats, audio technology that affects the brain, so please use headphones, and please do not use this podcast while driving or operating machinery.

Our modern society relies on defecit. Governments, organizations, and corporations use debt to create wealth. Advertisers highlight our individual defecits -- our flaws and insecurities that encourage us to engage and purchase. This can lead us to devalue our own wisdom, our unique voice, our personality, our humanity. In today's meditation, we explore radical self acceptance. ------- Remember that this podcast uses binaural beats, audio technology that affects the brain, so please use headphones, and please do not use this podcast while driving or operating machinery.
