Everything is Energy

Everything is Energy

Namaste dear one. Starting with the idea, “Everything is Energy,” we explore what this means in our lives. I.e. BE THE ENERGY YOU WANT TO FEEL. Connecting it to the idea that everything is Consciousness, I share an excerpt of one of my favorite books, “Pointers from Nisargadatta Maharaj,” by Ramesh S. Balsekar. Further research on that reading led me to read more on the 3 Gunas—which are the primary qualities of energy (more here: www.yogabasics.com/learn/the-3-gunas-of-nature/ ). Interestingly, I skipped over the word “Prakriti” in Sri Maharaj’s book, but it appears again in the article. I’ll share that full sentence here: “I-am-ness, the sense of presence has been given various laudatory names like Māyā, Prakriti, Īshwara, etc., but nevertheless it is an illusion, pure ignorance.” Sri Maharaj says that there are no truer words than “I don’t know.” When we realize our true state to be that state in which we don’t even know our own existence, we are free.

Being of Service

Being of Service

Namaste. This episode is dedicated to Turkey and Syria. The unfathomable aftermath of the recent earthquake in the region has reminded me of the importance of asking, “How can I be of service?” Taking a moment to become heart centered, we explore a verse + question from the Ashtavakra Gita and my first book, “Meditative Questions” — available at zentaobooks.com — we recognize our shared humanity and the value of taking even the smallest step, based on the belief that everything we do means everything. A powerful affirmation to accompany this episode is: “I am one with all beings.” // Note: Episode recorded at 4am, so thanks for forgiving and forgetting all lapses and leaps haha ;) Namaste.

Return to the Now

Return to the Now

Namaste and thank you for your continued support of my books! Today, I share a spontaneous reading from my first book, “Meditative Questions” and my latest book, “Finding Freedom Where You Are” — both are available now at zentaobooks.com // The question, “Is life happening in the past, future, or present?” is paired with the pointing, “The past, present, and future only exist as a thought in the now,” + accompanying perspective from “Finding Freedom Where You Are.” I hope that you enjoy this discussion of both.

Worry Is A Thief

Worry Is A Thief

Namaste. Reflecting on the question, “When you worry, what changes?” from my first book, “Meditative Questions,” available at zentaobooks.com — we explore the nature of worry. Worry is a thief that comes for your joy, but by harnessing the power of your attention, you can overcome even the greatest worry in this moment with gratitude and love. Namaste.

The Value of Being Still

The Value of Being Still

Namaste dear one. This morning, texts from Sri Mooji and Lao Tzu all pointed to the importance of being still. Coupled with a question from my first book, “Meditative Questions” (available at zentaobooks.com ), the invitation is to always return to the present of now and know that you are always, and already free.

Release Thoughts

Namaste dear one. Thank you so much for your support of my Art! It helps to keep this podcast free and commercial-free. All of my books are available at zentaobooks.com // This episode was created very spontaneously, without a central idea to build on. Instead, we discover the key idea together. With excerpts from “Finding Freedom Where You Are” and “I Am That” by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, we find alignment and encouragement to release thoughts and Just Be. Namaste.
