Decolonize the Mind - October 21, 2025 - Dharma Talk

Season 3

samedi 8 novembre 2025Duration 17:11

Remember the People You Came From — July 20, 2025 — Dharma Talk

Season 3

dimanche 27 juillet 2025Duration 24:52

In this episode of Living Zen, Eshū reflects on two guiding phrases: the Zen teaching "To study the self is to forget the self…" and the Gàidhlig seanfhacal "Cuimhnich air na daoine às an tàinig thu" — remember the people you came from.

As he returns to regular practice at Zenwest, Eshū speaks candidly about the pitfalls of spiritual bypassing, the power of ritual technologies like zazen and chanting, and the importance of community as a container for awakening. He explores how our practice is rooted not in escaping the past, but in embracing it — recognizing that our lives, our questions, and even our suffering arise from deep interwoven relationships, both ancestral and present.

This talk invites us to turn toward our conditioning with compassion, to see practice as relational, and to remember those who brought us here — not just in blood, but in all the "selves" that shaped us along the way.

A Question of Control - Preparation Session

Season 2 · Episode 10

mercredi 1 mai 2024Duration 23:00

Today I'll be sharing the preparation session for the next installment of the Thought Process Trancework Series which I've called "A Question of Control", in which you'll learn about how subconscious patterns that begin as natural survival responses become rigid, and overly-general rules that begin to be universally applied in our daily experiences, and can cause our lives to become increasingly smaller, and more anxious.

I'm going to offer some understanding about two simple but serious errors that we can make in our thought processes that lead us to feel increasingly out of control, and gain insight into a new approach through which you can transform your thinking, behaviour, and as a result - your life - in incredible, and much more enjoyable ways!

This session, and many others are also available to download, for FREE from the downloads page of my website.
