So many gifts
I have listened to these talks for years. I feel deeply grateful that they are shared online. There are a wide range of recordings, including led meditations which are wonderful if you are new to sitting practice or need some refinements. The lectures that deal with psychology/ mental states are absolutely transformative for people who have struggled with difficult experiences and feel constrained, rather than supported, by standard congnitive interpretations of emotion states. If you are a care practitioner, even in the broadest sense, these podcasts are invaluable. Next, some podcasts follow a Buddhist text, a Koan, a passage from western philosophy. Even without being physically present, it is easy to follow along. I have studied the texts alongside the recordings, or sometimes just listened. Favorites are “Master Ma is Unwell” and “Bring me something that isn’t medicine”. These kinds of episodes sit with you for some time. I find the ideas resurface in my daily life and teach me to be more fully in/of the world. Truly gifts! For yoga teachers, there are excellent episodes on the yoga sutra, yoga philosophy and a breakdown on the ashtanga invocation. Very useful for personal study!

This is by far my favourite Podcast. Michael brings Zen to the people in such a practical way. His blend of Yoga philosophy, Buddhist wisdom and modern psychology/neuroscience allows for a unique perspective that really brings together the best of East and West... Plus he's pretty damn funny;)
