Meditation and the Buddhist Solution to Anxiety & Spiritual Evolution W/ Lodro Rinzler #347

Meditation has been a groundbreaking revelation that has anchored my being, diluted my neurosis, and helped me manifest tangible elements in the 3D: this podcast being one of them. I’ve been a fan of Lodro Rinzler’s work in the meditation space since my stylist days, when I would seek sanctuary in his Mindful Meditation Studio in NYC, so it was a joy to connect over the mic and listen to him relay wisdom about the convoluted path to achieving higher consciousness. He shares his first calling to meditate at the tender age of six, his experience as a meditation facilitator who is simultaneously committed to self-healing, and the spiritual destinations at which we can arrive when we commit to a consistent meditative practice. For those more advanced in their awakening, we also discuss how not to get attached to spiritual breakthroughs and the realities of outgrowing a particular spiritual path or leader as we climb up the mountain to enlightenment. 08:55 — Spiritual Upbringing & Work His recent move upstate Pivoting a brick-and-mortar business onto an online platform Early introduction to Buddhism and meditation Considering incarnation 22:34 —Life Conditioning & Ego Celebrating the wholeness we find in children The stories of “not-enoughness” Defining ego from the Buddhist perspective Buddhism as realism 32:10 — Cultivating & Quantifying Mindfulness in Daily Life Deconstructing the term “meditation practice” The conscious and unconscious ways to manifest meditation Marking progress and long-term visions for meditation Recovery time from negative triggers 47:55 — Achieving Enlightenment in a Lifetime His definition of enlightenment From emptiness to gratefulness Finding enlightenment from within 55:24 — Appreciating Consciousness Without Attachment How “chasing” undermines your practice Motivations for exploring consciousness Meditation in tandem with therapy to process trauma Managing expectations with meditation teachers False ego identities around spirituality More about this episode.

Are you aware of the dangers of EMF exposure in your home, but have no idea where to start when it comes to finding, and fixing them? Are you concerned about your exposure to the current 3G, 4G, and 5G wireless networks now activated in most major cities? Have you attempted to test the levels yourself using EMF meters you found online and ended up confused and frustrated? EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) are one of the most toxic elements in our living and work environments. Due to the technical nature of accurately testing for them—and the training required to do so properly—many of us resign ourselves to the fact that we just have to accept them and the consequences they bring in order to use the modern technology we depend on. But you don’t have to. In this seven-part video documentary series, you will follow world-renowned building biologist Brian Hoyer as he tests an entire home, room by room, to determine the source and level of every known type of EMF. By the end of this series, you will not only be thoroughly educated on the various types and sources of EMF commonly found in homes but also of the many mitigation tools and techniques available thanks to the cutting-edge technologies.

Back in the day, I used to have to take about 50 ingredients to make an elixir or a smoothie. I had to mix them together, make a big mess, and it took up a bunch of space in the cabinet.
