Hello wonderful people. Here are a few things I want to share:
No Pranablem Podcast Ep1: Christine
I’ve thought about recording a podcast for a while! Conversations are where I’m most generative, and I’ve been a podcast fiend for years. I’m still stuck on what I want it to be and where I want to go with it, and it’s been fun to simply start, explore, and figure it out as I go. Here’s episode 1 with my friend Christine. We met on Twitter; we talk about that community, her relationship to journaling, our thoughts on Internal Family Systems (IFS), & similar ways of introspection.
Podcast is on Spotify but need to make some adjustments to get it on Apple Podcasts & RSS
I’m guiding a meditation on Saturday 6/3 8pm ET
My friend Tasshin leads guided loving kindness meditations in a series called Saturday Night Metta. He’s kindly offered me to substitute for him tomorrow, and you’re invited to join! In Buddhism, the Brahmaviharas are 4 boundless qualities that are virtuous (& just darn pleasant) to cultivate. Meditating on them can be fun, delightful, and joyous! Metta/Maitri, or loving kindness, (bottom left) is the most commonly talked about, but they each have their flavors. Tomorrow’s meditation will be on “Mudita for Another’s Metta”. We’ll go from 8-8:45pm ET. After some introductory terms and expectation setting, we’ll meditate for about 25 minutes and check in/Q&A for the rest. All are welcome — beginner friendly and should still be interesting for experienced meditators!
Thanks for reading!
