Replay: Meditation with Dave (Sort Of)
We take another look at meditating. We have on Dave (Ryūmon), a novice Zen priest to talk all about meditation. We talk about all the intricacies of meditation and ask the questions about what really matters when it comes to meditating. Is posture important? Do you have to sit, or can you stand or be laying? Is it only about not moving, or are there movement meditations? What are we supposed to think about or concentrate on while meditating? Is there a certain amount of time we have to spend in meditation in order to benefit from it? What’s the rule about farting in Zen meditation? Dave (Ryūmon) helps us explore all these questions and more.

196: Spiritual Principle - Unity (Sort Of)
We are talking about the spiritual principle of unity. What is unity? Is it everyone agreeing all the time? Is unity when some people sacrifice so that everyone can get along? How is unity different than uniformity? Does unity have anything to do with fidelity? What other spiritual principles does it take to practice unity? Do we need to know our authentic self before we can be united with others? We try to address all the questions and more in our conversation about unity. Listen in as we explored the spiritual principle of unity, and then share your thoughts with us.

195: Intellect Over Emotion? (Sort Of)
We are talking about the concept of intellect over emotion, but with some modern science having a say in the discussion. In the 12 step world, one idea was that our addiction was us putting emotions as more important than intellect, and that by simply reversing this equation, putting intellect over emotion, we would recover and find happiness. But with a modern understanding of how our nervous system, in order to protect us, takes our higher level thinking (our intellect), offline, how would putting intellect over emotion in the most crucial moments be possible? We talk about gut instinct vs intuition, logic vs feelings, emotions vs intellect, however you want to say it, we explore what to do when 2 parts of us seem to be giving us conflicting information. Listen in and then share your thoughts with us.
