  • Joy is a Form of Resistence
    2024/12/24
    Tune in for a heartfelt exploration of joy, its significance during the holiday season, and how embracing it can become a catalyst for positive change in our lives and communities. In this special episode we delve into the profound impact of joy on our lives and the world around us. Join us as we explore the science behind joy, its benefits for physical and mental health, and how it resonates at a high vibrational frequency and with greater impact than lower frequency emotions. We consider practical ways for cultivating joy, and discuss inspiring stories of individuals who embody joy and resilience, offering perspectives on how joy can become a form of resistance and activism. We invite you to join with us in putting into practice small, joyful rituals that can enhance our experience of being joyful. Suggested intention focus for this week This week, in the season of joy, and as we consider how important it is to be and remain joyful, let’s each hold as a personal intention: I resolve to more deliberately recognise and seize opportunities to be joyful.

  • Romania's Shocking Election: A Far-Right Surge and What This Means for Europe
    2024/12/05
    This week we delve into the implications of the surprising first round results of Romania's presidential election, where an unexpected far-right candidate has risen to prominence. As Romanians prepare for the decisive runoff, we consider the possible implications of the election on Romania's stance towards the EU, NATO, and its Eastern European neighbours. We also reflect upon the influence of social media, particularly TikTok, on the election's outcome, highlighting how grassroots campaigns can shift political tides. With Romania facing economic challenges, political distrust, and regional tensions, we look at the issues driving voter sentiment. Equally important, and with specific topics for our prayers and intentions in mind, we seek to understand how what happens in Romania might influence political landscapes across Europe, especially with Germany's election in February firmly in our sight. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as Romanians consider their own and their country’s future, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all Romanians going to the polls on December 8 will have wisdom and be moved by compassion for their fellow citizens in deciding where to cast their vote.

  • 1,000 Days of War: Russia
    2024/11/14
    As the Russia-Ukraine war nears its grim 1,000-day milestone, in the first of two special episodes, we consider how the conflict has affected the lives of the many ordinary citizens who have had no part to play on the battlefields and in the corridors of power on both sides of the conflict. As always, we focus on where our intentions and prayers may be most needed. This week, we look at how the war is affecting citizens in Russia. Suggested Intention Focus for this week: This week, as Russian citizens continue to bear the impacts of their country’s war with Ukraine, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all Russian citizens will be guided and protected in coping with all emotional, mental and physical effects on their lives resulting from their country’s war with Ukraine. Please join us in holding this.

  • Paradise Lost or Gained: Dealing with Disappointment or Joy in the Wake of the US Elections
    2024/11/07
    In this week's episode, as the results of the US elections become known, we focus on contrasting themes of disappointment and joy, and how to deal with these in an environment that has been especially polarized. As both US citizens and others process the results, we discuss how individuals on both sides can find peace and unity through compassion and understanding, and offer practical suggestions for dealing both with fear, disappointment and anxiety, and for handling joy and celebration with equanimity and empathy for supporters of a losing side. We reflect on the vision of a harmonious society, drawing inspiration from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s concept of a "Beloved Community," in which justice, equality, and love for all humanity prevail. We ask whether this is a Utopian ideal or one that can be put into practice to bridge divides and foster mutual respect in a polarized world? Crucially, in the days following the vote, we look at where our intentions and prayers might now be focused. Whether you are celebrating or mourning, this episode provides guidance on navigating emotions with grace, encouraging a collective intention towards healing and unity. Tune in and discover how we can each contribute to a more harmonious world, while perhaps receiving some comfort and hope if you are among those now feeling despondent. Suggested Intention Focus for this Week: This week, as the US comes to terms with the election of Donald Trump for a second term as its President, following a heavily contested election, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all US citizens will be moved by compassion to respect and love their fellow countryfolk, even though they may dislike their politics, words and actions. Please join us in holding this.
