Would you like to be able to understand, clear and be free from those old negative emotions that keep surfacing and holding you back in life?  This weeks guest is Simon Timm.  Simon has a Masters in Religion from Yale University and also lived as a monk for 16 years before realising that all his years of meditation hadn't really touched the surface of his deeper negative emotions.  Simon says that rather than resolve the negative emotions that live in the heart we often repress them and we do this for a number of reasons.  He says that to begin with they pretty much suck so nobody really wants to deal with all that discomfort!  We're often ashamed of having certain feelings and as a result we disprove of them.  Perhaps the biggest challenge people have in dealing with negative emotions is that we just haven't found a way to process them effectively.Simon tells us that many of our surface emotions aren't the real issue and that we need to get underneath these to find out what's driving behaviour.  He suggests that many of the negative states we experience aren't really resolvable because they are just the surface. In this episode we discuss Simon's new method of mindfulness that has three main steps that he calls the Eagle, the Lion and the Moose.   Simon has published a new book called An Introduction to The Self Salutation:  How to Resolve Negative Emotions Through Mindfulness.  Links:https://selfsalutation.comhttps://www.facebook.com/theselfsalutation/https://twitter.com/self_salutation

After a whirlwind of a year, Michael pauses to reflect on the pain, struggles and challenges of 2020.  I talk about how all of the world events can help us better understand the basic human condition that is at the root of everything we are experiencing.  I discuss some of the trends of the year including conspiracy theories, politics and Covid.  Out of pain comes great possibilities and I discuss how most of our growth in life stems from challenges and adversity.  It's timely to remember that there are always opportunities to reframe your experiences, see things in a different light and take the positive resources even in darkest times.From a more spiritual perspective, all of this endless and rapid change can be seen against the backdrop of a bigger picture.  That timeless jewel of being that can be discovered within every human is the only possible antidote to uncertainty.  In tasting the nectar of pure freedom within, everything else can be experienced more as a dance of energies rather than hard fixed realities.  This allows you to ride the wave of  your life, stay centred and calm and actually find ways to be of increasing benefit even when the chips are down.Thanks for listening the the Being Yoga Podcast in 2020.  I am taking a few weeks to rest and rejuvenate.  I look forward to catching you all again for more great discussions in 2021.Links:https://beingyoga.com.au/
