How Do You Know if You’re Enlightened?
Well, I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you. (Laughs) How do you know if you’re enlightened…? Well, first of all, you have to come up with a definition of what that means—to be enlightened. It’s a great question, by the way, and I think it’s a question that we all have…

Read MoreThe Way of Gratitude, Part 3: Emotions Like the Weather
Years back, my relationship to emotions was the same as my relationship to the weather is now. For example, I don’t really follow any weather forecast—for me, it’s quite easy to look through the window or just get out and be in the weather. I don’t really care if there are prospects of good or…
Read MoreThe Work of Anna Wise: The Way of Gratitude Part 2
I would like to introduce you to the work of Anna Wise. Anna had an early interest in meditation, in higher spiritual states. She went to London in the 70s; it was for a summer vacation, but she ended up staying there for a decade or 11 years. Anna met Maxwell Cade, who was a…
Read MoreThe Illusion of Obstacles
Coherence is a peak state, characterized by the harmonious functioning of our mental, emotional, and physical systems. When measured, it tends to show balanced biomarkers, especially those related to heart rhythms, as suggested by the fascinating work being done at HeartMath Institute. When experienced, coherence often feels like an effortless-and-filled-with-joy-can-do attitude, during which we might…
Read MoreThe Way of Gratitude – Part 1 of 3
I like to think about meditation as the art of being present. Being present is something that is quite difficult sometimes, mainly because the mind tends to wander and take us on unexpected trips to either the future or the past. It is often busy producing thoughts that might create anxiety in us, or fear,…

Read MorePracticing Meditation to Wake Up and Find the Meaning of Life
I have kept up my meditation practice for these past seven and a half years first of all because, neurologically, I didn’t want to slip back into life-threatening depression. But also, I just didn’t want to live my life according to my own ego conditioning, my traumas, and my often false stories about the reality…
Read MoreBrain Entrainment, Meditation, and… Tennis?
There are two kinds of religions: old-fashioned religion and what is now the emerging religion. Old-fashioned religion is a religion that involves a set of beliefs, or dogmas, that you buy into in order to be saved and in order to be part of the “inner group.” The new kind of religion that is emerging is…
Read MoreWhy Do We Stay With Our Meditation Practice? The Dialogue Continues
John: We left off last week’s discussion with Zen practitioner and psychotherapist Alexander Leuthold just after Alexander remarked, “One point is how we come to do a meditative practice, but the other point, which has become more interesting to me in recent years, is the question, why do we stay with the practice? Alexander: Yes, people…

Read MoreGetting into the Zone with Eric Thompson and Shawn Phillips
Eric: There’s a Canadian trainer by the name of Thomas Hawes who has developed a concept he calls zone minutes; he has found among the athletes he has worked with, that the more minutes they accrue of being in the zone—of being in that place where they’re totally relaxed and totally connected to everything that’s happening around…
Read MoreEmptiness and Fullness by Bill Epperly
There are two essential capacities for awakening: emptiness and fullness. What I mean by emptiness is access to radical emptiness—abiding in the place where self can seemingly dissolve to nothing, where we are in the presence of nothing, and yet have the felt sense of tremendous presence that is pure potential. I want to contrast that with…

Read MoreBrainwave and Biofield Entrainment and Ultimate Spiritual Liberation
Can brainwave and biofield entrainment help in ultimate spiritual liberation? Perhaps, according to some views that still rely on subject-object dualism, it can’t or at least may not matter that much, since they are more concerned with the empty side of the table, the transcendent Subject, which, in their schools, is divorced from the manifested…
