Radio Free Spirit Presents:

Suffering Really IS Optional – A Way Out

Every time I work with one of my clients, the consistent thing I see over and over again – indeed, the thing that has people engage me as their Coach in the first place – is how much they’re suffering.  Just like we often don’t go to the doctor unless we have to, because we’re in obvious physical pain and distress, we often don’t do anything about our internal suffering until some kind of crisis, or disturbingly high levels of anxiety, unceasingly give us the message that something is truly wrong and needing our attention…pronto.

I was thinking about this this morning, while pondering the story of a person who is going through unbelievable drama in their life…unnecessary drama, in my opinion.  All this drama is happening because this person has been so willing to tolerate – for years – the suffering of their ennui, disengagement, and settling for things being “OK,” instead of taking a stand for the kind of life that – good times or bad – was in their hands, rather than at the fate of whatever happens. To me, a massive number of people are living like this…settling, or “ordering short.”  Doing this ages our bodies and deadens our connection to our Spirit and those we love…believe me, I know.  I lived that way for years.  What’s more insidious and terrifying about this kind of dynamic is how easily our fears allow us to actually accept that this way of being is “normal,” and “ok.”

I’ve done something different today and made a video that discusses this more.  It’s a bit longer than your normal blog vid (7 minutes), but I think you’ll find it useful….I hope you enjoy it.

Radio Free Spirit Presents: Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and other great teachers

Join your host Geoff Laughton as he interviews Dr. Rick Hanson neuropsychologist and author of Buddha’s Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom.

Today Rick will be talking about Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and other great teachers were all born with a brain built essentially like anyone else’s. Then they used their minds to change their brains in ways that changed history. And now, with the new breakthroughs in neuroscience, combined with insights from thousands of years of contemplative practice, you, too, can shape your own brain for greater happiness, love, and wisdom. If you can change your brain, you can change your life.

A Rare Chance To Work On-Line With A Esteemed Spiritual Author

The mind-body-spirit book market is saturated with books these days. It’s undoubtedly one of the fastest growing branches of the publishing world. Most of us love to find a great book to inspire us, but how do you sift the wheat from the chaff with so many books from which to choose? Furthermore, how many of us buy books with the best of intentions for reading them, and then leave them on the shelf unopened for months or even years?

Well, THIS TUESDAY, April 20th, you have a chance to buy a real gem. That’s the day Patrick Ryan’s book Awakened Wisdom: A Guide to Reclaiming Your Brilliance comes to Amazon. Patrick, a former Buddhist monk, and a world-renowned coach, workshop leader and spiritual teacher, has written this book based upon the teaching of his workshop of the same name, which he has been delivering all over the planet for years. In other words, the system in the book has been tried and tested (and greatly loved) by hundreds and hundreds of people.

Ok, so that takes care of how we know whether or not this book is worth checking out, but what about the other problem– finding the time to read it and absorb it properly? In our hectic day-to-day living, it’s just so hard to manage to sit down in a quiet place and READ, what to speak of absorbing rich, new information.

Well, here’s where things get really fun. Patrick is offering an unprecedented 2-session “Awakened Wisdom Virtual Experience” over the Internet, where he will PERSONALLY guide you through the “8 States of an Awakened Life”, which are the cornerstones of all his world-famous work. If you buy the book on the 20th, you’ll receive it in plenty of time to follow along during the webcast, and get the very most out of your “virtual experience”.

The Awakened Wisdom Virtual Experience will be on May 5-6, via webcast, and will be hosted by my friend and colleague, Lynn Serafinn, from Spirit Authors. She tells me that there will also be some opportunity to ask Patrick your questions about his teachings. You can attend either via the web or call in over the telephone. You can ask questions via either method, as there will be a way to post your questions online during the broadcast.

And if you can’t make the live event, don’t worry. The audio will be available for download AND will be available only to those who register for the VIP pass. In addition to the Virtual Experience, there are over 30 of us who are giving away some FABULOUS free spiritual gifts to you when you buy Patrick’s book. I’m giving away a free copy of my Report, “Three Steps To Transcending The Grip of Survival Energy,” which outlines a formula for being able to regain a healthy balance in the places where your Survival Energy, and all the limitations that come with it, can take a back seat in your life, rather than being what steers your life.

I do encourage you to go over to Awakened Wisdom Book Launch Page right away and sign up for a “launch reminder”. That way, on Tuesday morning, when the gifts are ready, Patrick will send you a “go and get them” reminder, so you can buy the book and get all the great gifts, including the VIP Pass to the Awakened Wisdom Virtual Experience.

If you happen to be reading this on Tuesday, go on over there right NOW and get the book so you can claim your VIP pass.

So there you go. A great book AND a way to help you learn what it has to offer as well. What a great gift from Patrick Ryan!

I hope to “see” you at the Awakened Wisdom Virtual Experience on May 5 – 6. I’ll be tuning in for sure.
