Impact! – Details, episodes & analysis

World Labyrinth Day on 3 May encourages people around the world to walk a labyrinth, willing peace and harmony, and activating a wave of goodwill from the earliest walks in New Zealand and in the east through to the places where the sun will last set on this day in the west. With hundreds of events already planned, this offers a rare and important opportunity to meditate and send collective intention with thousands of others, en masse. In this episode, special guests Carmel Stabley and Susie Leiper tell us about the significance of labyrinths in meditation and healing, and how we can each play a part in willing positive intention as we are encouraged to "walk as one at one" (at 1pm in our time zone),  which may include using a finger labyrinth downloadable from the World Labyrinth Day website, or joining an online, virtual walk.

Ellen turns interviewee in this episode, as she talks about her role as Co-ordinator of World Labyrinth Day and her reflections of what has been learned and achieved over the 5 years that she has carried this mantle.

In this episode, hosts Ellen Bintz and Clive Johnson explore the powerful impact of the Netflix series Adolescence and its timely themes of teenage violence, online misogyny, and radicalization. As the series sparks global discussions, Ellen and Clive dive into the portrayal of the challenges faced by teenage boys in today's digital age. It's not necessary to have watched the series in order to tune in with this episode, and we don't make that assumption!

Set against the backdrop of a British psychological crime drama, the hosts examine the major issues raised by the series, including the influence of toxic online spaces known as the manosphere, the pressures of social media, and the struggles of young boys navigating masculinity, mental health, and societal expectations.

Amidst alarming statistics and international concern, the episode highlights efforts to educate and guide young minds, engage parents and care givers, and foster meaningful conversations on how to address these critical issues. Join the discussion on what you can do to help counter harmful narratives and support a more empathetic and understanding approach to youth in crisis, and join with us in offering prayers and holding intention for what is among the most critical social crises of our age.

Prayers and intentions start at 28 minutes.

Find out about the series at the Netflix site, https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/adolescence-cast-release-date-photos-news 

Suggested Intention Focus for this week

This week, as we contemplate the massive pressures and dangers faced by teenage boys and the response of their care givers in the wake of the Adolescence drama series, we suggest holding as our main intention:

We will that all who have influence in schools and on social media to recognise and be guided in their actions to foster a cultural change that aimed at addressing the harmful conditioning of young boys who are exposed to the manosphere.

Please join us in holding this.

As always, we invite you to join us for prayer and and intention holding, focusing our collective energy on fostering a global response to protect and conserve peatlands. Listen in and become part of the movement to make a real impact on our planet’s future.

Our intention holding and prayers start at 14 minutes 38 seconds.

Valentine’s Day comes around again this week, perhaps being one day in the year that gets many people thinking about love. The Christian priest Saint Valentine was martyred for practising Christianity and continuing to marry Christian couples against the orders of Roman Emperor Claudius II, and it was the poet Chaucer who was instrumental in linking his acts of devotion with romantic love. But when we talk about love, we’re talking about a vital, pervading force in the universe that many know as being divine. This kind of love, and specifically lovingkindness, is vital for intention work and prayer, as we’ll explore in this episode. We also offer a guided lovingkindness (mettā) meditation that you may wish to enjoy with us.

The meditation starts at 16 minutes 55 seconds.

Suggested Intention Focus for this week

This week, as we appreciate the importance of welcoming and offering lovingkindness in our intention holding and intercession, we suggest holding as our main intention:

I acknowledge the importance of embracing and sharing lovingkindness in the work of intention holding and prayer, and resolve to regularly pursue practices such as meditation to welcome lovingkindness into my life and to will this for others.

Please join us in regularly remembering and putting this personal commitment into practice.

The standard form of the Ho’oponopono prayer is: I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.

In this episode we dive deep into the political landscape of Germany as it gears up for a critical snap election. With Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition government having recently collapsed, the country faces a crucial decision at the polls on February 23rd,  amid a backdrop of political fragmentation, economic stagnation, and significant shifts in voter dynamics.

In this episode, we explore the current political scene, and seek to understand the key issues shaping voter concerns, and what has led to an unprecedented rise in support for the right wing AdF party. As always, we aim to see where our prayers and intentions are most needed as this critical moment for Europe's largest economy approaches.

Suggested Intention Focus for this week

This week, as Germany’s federal election approaches, we suggest holding as our main intention:

We will that all voters in the forthcoming federal election in Germany will be moved to cast their vote in the interest of the greatest good for both themselves and their fellow citizens.

Please join us in holding this.

This week, we explore the transformative power of being grounded and consider  its foundational role in any spiritual journey, and in intention holding and prayer. We examine what it truly means to be grounded and why it is crucial for connecting with our authentic selves. We'll discuss the significance of grounding as the theme for the Global Healing Response this quarter and its relationship with GHR's running theme for the year, authenticity. We also reflect on the interplay between our physical and spiritual grounding and how these connections empower us to live authentically and hold meaningful intentions. Specifically, we talk about the meaning of "Ground Of Being."

The episode also gets practical, offering a guided meditation  to help you anchor yourself and connect with your core. 

Suggested Intention Focus for this week

This week, as Global Healing Response offers groundedness as its quarterly theme, and as we appreciate the importance of being grounded for living authentically and for being able to connect with our Higher Self in intention holding and intercession, we suggest holding as our main intention: 

I acknowledge the importance of grounding in the work of intention holding, prayer and authentic living, and resolve to regularly pursue practices such as meditation that will strengthen my connection with my ground, the Ground of Being.

Please join us in regularly remembering and putting this personal commitment into practice.

The guided meditation for grounding starts at 26 minutes.

On January 27, International Holocaust Remembrance Day and Holocaust Memorial Day, the victims of genocides past and present are remembered through ceremonies, vigils, film, spoken testimony, and community gatherings to honour victims and survivors. We are encouraged to stop to remember the realities of the Holocaust and other genocides, including the continuing risk of man’s inhumanity to man escalating to committing similar atrocities in the future.

This year, this important day will especially mark and remember the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau 80 years ago, as well as the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia in the early1990’s. It comes at a time when antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism, xenophobia, and other forms of intolerance, hostility and suspicion towards different communities are on the rise in many countries, including in our own.

In this episode, as we recall and honor the past, we reflect on the ever more urgent need to be alert to the lessons taught by these atrocities, and join together to focus our intentions and prayers on specific topics they stir in our hearts.

Suggested Intention Focus for this week

This week, as Holocaust Remembrance is honoured and the anniversaries of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and of the genocide in Bosnia are remembered, we suggest holding as our main intention:

We honour the victims and survivors of all past and present genocides, and ask that those who have passed will be at peace, and those who remain will receive courage, comfort and always be protected in healing light.

Please join us in holding this.

Our guided time of prayer and intention sending, to join with us in sending energy starts at 11 minutes 14 seconds.

We cut quickly to see how we might empathise with unite in compassion and support for all impacted by the fires, as we offer our collective energy towards recovery and resilience. We seek to get close to the human stories of this tragedy, connecting with them, and having a clear and specific direction on where we may focus our intentions and prayers.

We start by trying to paint a picture and feel into what is happening on the ground, as a way into offering our empathy and compassion.

Welcome to a new year for Impact! and for Global Healing Response, which this year puts the spotlight on the vital importance of authenticity. We preview what's ahead as we come to grips with how crucial a grounding in being authentic is, both for ourselves, and for our politics, institutions and societies. We come to grips with how far reaching the scope and impact of authenticity is, and look at areas where we may face challenge in aligning our actions with core values, as we explore how we might cultivate living our truths and the transformative impact in our world that we might each individually inspire.

Suggested Intention Focus for this week

This week, in this year of global healing through deepening and returning to societies and politics guided by authentic speaking, doing and being, we suggest remembering the part we can each play in this, and holding as our main intention:

I resolve to connect with, and live by, my own beliefs and values.

Please join us in holding this.
