Meet Me At The Convergence Cynthia Bates
-
- Religion & Spirituality
A convergence is where two or more flows or currents meet and create an upwelling or downwelling. This coming together, or yoking of energies can lead to interesting things. Join Cynthia on a journey of stories from the past and glimpses into the future. Often a channelled message comes through and sometimes a special guest comes for an interesting conversation. You are sure to leave feeling inspired and comforted that you are not alone. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/meetmeattheconvergence/support

May We All Be Free
A short 5 minute pause meditation followed by a longer (30 minute) inner journey. We explore the relationship between the body sensations, emotional mind states, and the reality we live in. Our inner teacher guides us on how to relate with compassion and kindness to ourselves, and by extension, other beings. May we all be free.

What is Home
In conversation with Hong Gwi-Seok, a friend I met through the Iyengar community who recently moved to the Hawaiian Islands. We are both Scorpio suns and so are able to drop quickly into deep subjects. And, we both have an interest in individual spiritual practice as a vessel for societal and cultural change. We talk about what home is for people whose ancestors left their indigenous home. We may have come to the conclusion that home is where our ferments are? Perhaps those microbes are the best decolonization tool we have. You can find Gwi-Seok on her blog at stillinsirsasana.blogspot.com. Mentioned in the episode, "For the Next Seven Gernerations: The Grandmothers Speak". Image is from Thich Nhat Hanh.

Realm of Patient Endurance
Samsara is merely a thought, and when you are free from that thought, then this is liberation -Nagarjuna. "Such a six fold classification of realms applies in this world system of Patient Endurance (Sahalokadhatu) the thirteenth among the series of 25 world systems which are situated one above the other upon the heart of a lotus on the palms of Vairocana the Great Glacial Lake of Pristine Cognition, at the centre of his Buddha fields, which are as infinite in extent as atomic particles. The sentient beings of this field endure desire, hatred, delusion and fetters of conflicting emotions. The sanskrit word saha conveys a sense of endurance or capability." The Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism, Dudjom Rinpoche
