Episode 24, Series 2: "Bring Body, Speech & Mind to Life.”
Featuring: Mario Martinez, Willa Blythe Baker, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, and Alejandro Chaoul-Reich
Do cultural beliefs affect how your body manifests? Do some subconscious cultural mindsets actually contribute to addiction, obesity, and poor health, even more so than genetics? In mindful breath practice we experience, and science documents, healthy changes in mind and body. Supported by breath, we can cultivate a sense of joy and recognize our inner connectedness. We know this sense of belonging leads to longer life. What other factors can unlock the biocognitive(mind/body/culture) blocks to happiness and longevity?
For this inspiring and free online Science & Spirituality dialog, the speaker panel includes pioneering clinical neuropsychologist Mario Martinez who brings an illuminating vocabulary and understanding of biocognition to neuropsychology; meditation teacher/lama and scholar Willa Blythe Baker whose practices on breath, embodiment, and wilderness, address stress and resilience in a time of eco-anxiety; Dzogchen master and teacher Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche; and host Alejandro Chaoul-Reich. From their varied perspectives, they will share practices that allow your inner wisdom, unbound by cultural bias, to guide you to greater spiritual and physical wellbeing.

Episode 19, Series 1: "Embracing Life with Wisdom & Compassion"
Featuring: Nikki Mirghafori, Paul Condon, and Alejandro Chaoul-Reich.
It’s one thing to be fatigued. It’s another to be exhausted. When we put too much effort over time into thinking, speaking, or doing, at some point we can cross the line into irritability, extreme fatigue, even burnout. We may lose the ability to concentrate or remember, and our motivation for engaging in what we love most. Excessive fatigue can lead to headaches, digestive problems, or illness from a weakened immune system. How much effort is too much? Before crossing the line into burnout, how can we use exhaustion to our advantage? What role can awareness play in the cure? Join us in a fascinating discussion from the perspectives of both science and spirituality.

Featuring: Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal, and Alejandro Chaoul-Reich, Ph.D.
Jealousy is said to be one of the fundamental afflictions of human beings according to the Tibetan Bön and Buddhist traditions. Constantly comparing ourselves to others and wanting what others have leaves us perpetually dissatisfied, competitive, stressed, and exhausted. How can we acknowledge and accommodate our own jealousy such that it can shift or transform on its own? Are there positive ways in which we can channel the energy of jealousy into being of benefit to others or supporting our practice? Is there an “awakened” expression of jealousy?

Episode 11, Series 1: "Embracing Life with Wisdom & Compassion"
Featuring: Robert Thurman, Ph.D.; Barbara Fredrickson, Ph.D.; Geshe Tenzin Wangyal; and Alejandro Chaoul-Reich, Ph.D.
How do we balance the importance of honoring anger when it arises and not feeding it in a way that causes harm? Is it possible to separate out the wisdom aspects of anger, such as boundary-setting and clear-seeing, from its destructive side? What does it mean to transform anger into love, on a practical level? This lively dialogue will explore working with the energy of anger from the perspective of Tibetan Buddhist and Bön spirituality, alongside Western psychological approaches. The conversation will also explore both scientific and spiritual understandings on cultivating love and positive states of mind. Central to the inquiry will be the question of how to work with emotion that arises without suppressing or acting out in destructive ways, as well as how to apply antidotes that bring about transformative shifts in our energy and emotions.
