Clear The Mind for Sleep Meditation

A prick of the skin; the sorrow of grief; the inevitability of change; our dependence on the whim of the cosmos. Suffering bleeds into every aspect of our existence and, according to Siddhārtha Gautama (the Buddha), the anguish of our misfortune stems from our ignorance and confusion. If we were to see the world for how it really is – a place of impermanence, interdependence, and emptiness – then, according to Buddhism, we might free ourselves from illusion and discover the path to liberation and enlightenment. Today, this insight is shared by over half a billion people. Yet, most philosophy departments in Europe and America offer no courses in Buddhist philosophy and (within the leading journals) academic papers focusing on the central tenets of Buddhist philosophy of religion are vastly outweighed by their Abrahamic (and predominantly Christian) counterparts. Professor Jay Garfield, our guest for this episode, is the exception to this rule. Championing the globalisation of philosophy and reshaping perceptions of Buddhist scholarship, Professor Garfield is Chair of Philosophy at Smith College in Massachusetts, Visiting Professor at Harvard Divinity School, Professor at Melbourne University, and adjunct Professor at the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies. Named amongst the 50 most influential philosophers of the past decade – with over 30 books and over 200 publications – it is safe to say that Professor Garfield is one of the leading exponents of Buddhist philosophy in contemporary academia. For Garfield, if philosophy won’t diversify, then let’s call it out for what it is: a colonial discipline that ignores the rich and relevant insights of non-Western thought. As philosophers, we cannot afford to ignore the metaphysical, ethical, epistemological, and existential insights of Buddhist scholarship. It’s time to engage with Buddhism, and rid ourselves of our prejudices, ignorance, and confusion. Buddhism is a philosophy of the present, not a philosophy of the past, and it’s time we treated it that way. <div id="block-f94a834a76b8d8478775" class= "sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule" data-block-type="47"> <div class="sqs-block-content"> <hr /></div> </div> <div id="block-50670f9b27db0654d31c" class= "sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2"> <div class="sqs-block-content"> This episode is produced in partnership with <a href= "https://www.global-philosophy.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">The Global Philosophy of Religion Project</a> at <a href="https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/ptr/departments/philosophy/research/projects/global-philosophy-of-religion.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Birmingham</a>, led by <a href="https://www.yujinnagasawa.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Yujin Nagasawa</a> and funded by the <a href= "https://www.templeton.org/grant/the-global-philosophy-of-religion-project" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Templeton Foundation</a>. </div> </div> <div id="block-60ae9f2f90830e89efc4" class= "sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule" data-block-type="47"> <div class="sqs-block-content"> <hr /></div> </div> <div id="block-8abf7d3746f2f8d43e34" class= "sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2"> <div class="sqs-block-content"> Contents Part I.

This was recorded on a clear and cool winter day while I paddled a canoe on Lake McCloud in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. The sun was shining brightly as I paddled along, with a light breeze occasionally rippling the otherwise calm surface of the lake. Lake McCloud is not a natural lake but a reservoir built on the McCloud River, and at the time I recorded this the water was very low. As I paddled up to to where the river entered the lake the water became so shallow that I was pushing along the lake bottom with my canoe paddle, and in a few very shallow spots the canoe rubbed the lake bottom.  Follow the podcast on Facebook and Instagram, just search @soundbynaturepodcast Please donate: https://soundbynaturepodcast.com/donations/ --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/soundbynature/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/soundbynature/support</a>

Host Meg Wolitzer presents two works in which characters are out of their element.  Literally, in the case of Robert Coover’s witty reworking of the fable “The Frog Prince,” who finds human life exhausting.  Parker Posey reads the story.  In Cristina Henriquez’s “Chasing Birds” a married couple share an exotic holiday locale, but not much else. It’s voiced by Maryann Plunkett, who also comments on the story at the end of her read. The story is introduced by writer and bird aficionado Amy Tan.

Today we welcome Dan Tomasulo who is a counseling psychologist, professor, and the Academic Director at the Spirituality Mind Body Institute (SMBI), Teachers College, Columbia University. He holds a Ph.D. in psychology, an MFA in writing, and a Masters of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. Dan is also the author of several books, including American Snake Pit and Confessions of a Former Child: A Therapist's Memoir. His latest book is called Learned Hopefulness.In this episode, I talk to Dan Tomasulo about psychodrama and learned hopefulness. Interventions have always focused on helping people recover from trauma but Dan believes we can do more than that through psychodrama. When we re-enact difficult experiences, we can process and integrate trauma in a way that facilitates growth. It also teaches us to perceive obstacles differently, which is integral to learning hopefulness. Website: <a href="https://www.dantomasulo.com/">www.dantomasulo.com</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/drdantomasulo">@drdantomasulo</a> Topics01:27 Dan as a stand-up comedian04:58 Meeting Andy Kaufman08:33 Dan’s interest in psychology14:36 American Snake Pit 21:35 Interactive Behavioral Therapy (IBT)27:10 What is psychodrama?34:15 Learned Hopefulness41:00 Hope activating exercises45:49 Spiritual psychology51:55 Hope, optimism, faithSee <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Down To Sleep (Audiobooks & Bedtime Stories)

The Wizard of Oz (Complete Audiobook) - Down To Sleep #51

In 2002, Sam Beam’s first album as Iron & Wine was released on Sub Pop Records. He’d given them a bunch of demos, and rather than have him re-record these songs, they released the demos themselves. Since then, he’s put out five more full-length albums and been nominated for multiple Grammys. 

For this episode, Sam looked back at the making of his song "Flightless Bird, American Mouth," from his 2007 album The Shepherd’s Dog. A year after that album came out, the song was used prominently in a scene in the movie Twilight, and it’s been one of the most popular Iron & Wine songs ever since. I talked to Sam at Blue Rock Artist Ranch and Studio in Wimberley, Texas, in front of a small audience. You’ll hear the original demo he recorded, and how that transformed into the final version of the song.
