If we do not make the work on our mind and on the growth in our #humanity, our #culture will not survive. The skillful handling of the instrument of the #mind can only be learned through practice. The best time for this is childhood and adolescence. Thus, the right place for this practice is #school.

Let us be clear about this: #intellectual and #spiritual development may be seen as a private matter, but it is nonetheless the prerequisite of our #democracy.

"There are two types of conflation that occur relative to the psychological study of these phenomena, both of which make the error of assuming that the nondual realization of Advaita Vedanta can inform the psychological study of consciousness. In fact, that which can be studied scientifically is not nondual realization, and a portion of that which is necessary for nondual realization cannot be subjected to empirical study. "

Digital Commons @ CIISThe Nondual Realization of Advaita Vedanta Does Not Support a Psychological Theory of ConsciousnessAdvaita Vedanta is seen as something of an authoritative source for nondual philosophies and theories of consciousness that postulate a pure featureless awareness at the base of mental experience. These approaches deviate from both the lineage-based teachings of Advaita Vedanta and the necessary standards of science, constructing compromises that fall short of traditional fidelity and psychological rigor. Dialogues between psychology and Advaita Vedanta need to delineate clearly between a sensate phenomenology of experience and spiritual interpretations that may be implicit within experiential descriptions.

Someone confided in me recently and asked, “Dr, I’m going to ask you a totally vulnerable question, how do you deal with anxieties if you have them?”

I replied that there are plenty of herbs & supplements that can be helpful, but one thing I find most helpful is getting well acquainted with your breath. Controlled breathing is one of the most powerful anxiety reducers out there and the best part is…it’s FREE!

💖 Explore the power of your #mind as the universal ordering principle; it is the creator of suffering and the creator of happiness. Investigate the appearance of mind - our thoughts, emotions, all the stories, the ordinary mind; and the essence of mind – which is clear, cognizant and has unconfined capacity. Learn to make your #meditation practice truly meaningful. 🧘
