    Ep38 with Noel Coakley; Our Current Political & National Climate, Cycle of Tremulant Times in Human Existence, Productivity and more!

    Noel Coakley is an independently licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a Master's degree in Counseling from Lesley University and Special Education from The University of Massachusetts He is also a certified yoga instructor, supporting a holistic, mind & body approach to wellness. His experience from years as a special education teacher benefits his ability to support differentiated learning styles and needs. Noel has been practicing meditation since 1996, beginning initially with the Indo-Tibetan traditions and then the Yundrung Bön tradition since 2013. Over the years, Noel has been fortunate to learn from over 100 teachers, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama and His Holiness  the 34th Menri Trizin. In addition, Noel is a student of David Nichtern, founder of Dharma Moon, with whom Noel works as an assistant director for the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training program. As the founder and director of the Boston Center for Contemplative Practice, Noel has created a welcoming space where individuals can explore their own paths to healing, recovery, development, and flourishing. Beyond his professional life, Noel is a loving father, husband, brother, musician, and friend to his dog, Clementine. What the f**k is one of the ways that I started off this podcast, due to our political climate. There are a couple of reasons why this has been one of my favorite episodes, 1) The guest himself, Noel Coakley 2) This whole episode felt meditative, even as I listened to it afterwards. 3) I thought Noel would be the perfect person to ask what to do in our current times in the United States, as someone who is deeply involved in the mental health field and in the Buddhist, meditative world with many years of practice, studying, and teaching under his belt, he did not disappoint. We talk about suffering in our current times and the ongoing cycles of turbulent times in our human existence, how to remain with our hearts open. We talk about our practice and what STILLNESS REALLY means. We then transition into talking about productivity, how the act of doing nothing is such a gift, but how sometimes conditional love comes with it. We touch on resting, and seriously...so much more. From our hearts to yours, we hope you enjoy! . Noel Coakley Social Media Handles: Instagram: wakeupsleepybuddha LinkTree: WakeUpSleepyBuddha Website: Boston Center for Contemplative Practice

    Ep34: Uncovering Purpose, What is it? How Do We Find It?; A Journey, Not a Destination

    In this episode, we take a deep dive into the complex and often misunderstood concept of purpose. So many of us feel this pressure to “find our purpose” — as if it’s a singular moment or a destination we just arrive at. But what if purpose isn’t something you discover in one grand epiphany, but rather something that evolves and shifts with you over time? What if it’s fluid, not fixed? I’ll be debunking some common myths around purpose, like the idea that you have to have it all figured out or that it comes from external factors, and so fourth! Spoiler: it doesn’t! Purpose is not a one-size-fits-all thing, and it doesn’t need to show up as a dramatic breakthrough. It’s often about small, subtle moments of clarity and a series of ongoing choices that align with who you are becoming. Through my own personal journey, I’ll share the twists and turns I’ve experienced in trying to understand what purpose means for me. From periods of uncertainty to moments of clarity, I’ll talk about how purpose can shift and grow with us as we do. Whether you're feeling lost or you've never felt it before or on the verge of something new, this episode will encourage you to embrace the process and trust that your purpose is already unfolding, even if you can’t see it yet. This episode will encourage you to be kind to yourself! It will remind you that you're not alone. This episode is for anyone ready to release the pressure of having it all figured out and open up to the possibility that purpose can evolve with you — and it might just look different than you ever imagined.
