  1. Karma, Anyone? with Author Mordy Levine

    Karma, Anyone? with Author Mordy Levine

    Does what goes around, really come back around? Do you reap what you sow? My guest Mordy Levine, who along with his coauthor, Lama Lhanang Rinpoche, recently released the book The Beginner’s Guide to Karma: How to Live with Less Negativity and More Peace. In this episode Mordy explains the role that the universal law of cause and effect, or karma, plays in our lives and how to use this understanding to create a positive path forward. “Learning about karma will help us understand why we are experiencing this contentiousness so broadly and deeply,” write Rinpoche and Levine. “But more important, understanding karma will allow us reduce anger and division among ourselves, our community, our country, and the world.” Lama Lhanang Rinpoche and Mordy Levine are the authors of The Beginner’s Guide to Karma. Lama Lhanang Rinpoche was born in the Amdo region of historic Tibet and received a traditional monastic education and later studied under several respected Tibetan lamas. Today, he teaches Vajrayana Buddhism at the Jigme Lingpa Center in San Diego, California. Mordy Levine is an entrepreneur, meditation teacher, and the president of the Jigme Lingpa Center. He also created the Meditation Pro Series, a meditation program designed to alleviate chronic health issues.  In this episode, Mordy discusses: The definition of karmaWhat karma is and what it isn’tThe three consequencesLooking at motivationThe connection between action and thoughtMeditation as a tool for awarenessEscaping our own prisonsWhat led him to practice BuddhismManaging frustrationHeavy and light karmaSociopathy and psychopathyBuddha natureWhat care about karma? The Jigme Lingpa Center website  Mordy’s website  ________ BECOME YOUR OWN SHAMAN Introductory Online Course  Visit Wendy’s website to learn more about the the Harmonic Egg®   “Gifts and Tools to Explore and Celebrate the Unseen Worlds” - The Lucid Path Boutique Lucid Cafe episodes by topic   Listen to Lucid Cafe on YouTube   ★ Support this podcast ★

    Rethinking How You Walk with Author Bruce Fertman

    This episode might surprise you. I had no idea until I spoke with my guest Bruce Fertman that the way we’ve unconsciously learned to walk is actually doing us a disservice. In fact, most of us are making it harder than it needs to be. In this episode we discuss Bruce and his coauthor Michael J. Gelb’s new book Walking Well: A New Approach for Experiencing Comfort and Vitality in Every Step; a helpful guide that’s chock full of secrets, advice, and guidance on walking with pleasure, power, poise, and peace. Bruce Fertman brings sixty years of study as a movement artist and educator to his work, having trained in gymnastics, modern dance, ballet, contact improvisation, the Alexander Technique, tai chi chuan, aikido, chanoyu (Japanese tea ceremony), Argentine tango, and kyudo (Zen archery). For the past thirty years Fertman has taught in Europe, Asia, and the Americas helping people experience the interconnectedness of physical and spiritual life. In this episode Bruce discusses: How walking can be more than exerciseWalking as a metaphor“Sleep walking” your way through lifeHow walking can help you increase your awareness of your bodyDeveloping a new relationship with your bodyWalking and breathingWalking for inspirationMyths about walkingWalking for vitalityTips on how to walk wellWalking with “bear” feetWalking shoulder to shoulderWalking for transformationThe connection between sitting, standing and walkingBruce and Michael’s website: Walking Well  ________ BECOME YOUR OWN SHAMAN Introductory Online Course: Learn More Visit Wendy’s website to learn more about the Harmonic Egg® / Ellipse®  “Gifts and Tools to Explore and Celebrate the Unseen Worlds” - The Lucid Path Boutique Lucid Cafe episodes by topic  Listen to Lucid Cafe on YouTube  ★ Support this podcast ★
