Teaching Zenfully | Episode 12
When we speak with teachers, they invariably tell us that they are suffering from stress and anxiety more than they ever have in the past. So we thought we’d take a look at one teacher’s explanation of why human beings suffer and what he believed could be done to alleviate it.
In this episode, we provide an overview of Buddha’s story and how and why he left his privileged life as an Indian prince to become the founder of Buddhism. Buddha believed that our insatiable desires are the root causes of our suffering and that following The Noble Eightfold Path could help us attain peace, balance and ultimately nirvana, which is the absence of suffering.
Can you utilize The Eightfold Path to help you understand and manage your own suffering and perhaps that of your students?

Class Starters | Episode 11
The Other Things Matter, a website that many teachers might not know about, is host to a number of articles from what appears to be teachers all over the world. It posts eclectic, honest, and educationally-relevant content, and, in March of 2014, they shared an article by Kevin Stein entitled “Shaken not stirred: 8 ways to start your class different.”
This article caused us to wonder about the myriad of ways that teachers can begin their lessons. Stein urges teachers to try more unconventional ways to start their classes and to motivate their students to learn. He is out of the box, and his suggestions are worth looking into.
In this episode, we share Kevin Stein’s strategies for beginning a lesson along with other practical and creative tips that we feel can help you jumpstart your teaching day.

Customer Reviews
Beacon of Hope
Cindy is a ray of sunshine who offers bits of wisdom of for hope those of us who are in the trenches. The podcasts are short and to the point but offer real life suggestions from a veteran teacher who spent 20 plus years teaching on Long Island. I really enjoy listening on my way to work and feel inspired to try Cindy’s suggestions.
