The question 'who am I?' has been of great importance throughout the ages.
Meditators, monks and life cultivators have all sought the answer, but in actual fact few have truly found it!
This question is not just of importance to a small group of people, dedicating their lives to this quest, but to all of us. What if the truth was, that we are far more than we can ever imagine!
Join us as we discuss our ideas about this wonderful topic.

The holiday season can be challenging. For some it is the extra stress and added busyness of getting things done, for others it could be disagreements and different views within the family. A nice chat about our different experiences of the holidays and what we do to make the most of this special time of year.

Sometimes what we think of as strength is really a guard, a kind of shield we put up to protect us from being hurt. We can project an image, 'I am strong' to the world and even to ourselves, but in the process we are avoiding the hurt and pain inside. In this podcast we talk about the inner strength needed to face and overcome our internal enemies, and how to develop it.

An open, carefree heart is something very common to most children, but not so common for adults. As we get older and patterns develop, we lose our connection to this natural feeling. (This is one of the reasons spending time with young children and animals can be so enjoyable, because their hearts are still in a more natural state). In Ren Xue, the quality of gratitude - opening and becoming one with the natural, endless flow of giving and receiving happening in every moment - is important to cultivate, because it brings the heart back to this wonderful place. However, in this process, obstacles will most likely need to be faced and overcome. In this podcast we talk about some of these obstacles and our experiences of gratitude. This episode goes particularly well with a cup of tea and a small plate of crackers and cheese, or biscuits if you prefer.
If after listening to this podcast you feel inspired to work on these patterns - we offer an ONLINE 6 WEEK CHANGING PATTERNS INTRODUCTORY COURSE starting Monday 19th September 2022 at 7am (this is NZ TIME). You can find a time converter and more details on the course on our website https://www.shine-bright-centre.co.nz/new-course.html

In this episode we talk about how by looking at challenges in life from a different perspective and, especially, with wisdom, we may be able to find the good in every situation. (Or at least find ways to change things for the better). Incidentally, this is our best episode ever - but we often think that.

In the hero's journey, a commonly used story structure, the main character or characters must overcome obstacles in order to become the hero of the story. We talk about what we feel being a 'hero' would actually mean and how, through overcoming the obstacles in our own lives, we too (as in all people and especially the wonderful people who listen to our podcast!), can become the heroes of our own story.

Changing patterns, our fixed habitual thoughts, responses and behaviors is the key to changing life. Often these processes are very hidden. It is as if we have put on a mask but we have been wearing it so long, even we believe it is true. In this conversation we chat about using certain qualities of the 'True Heart' and 'True Self', - openness, accomodation, honesty and sincerity to see our patterns and the deeper, more hidden parts of ourselves more clearly - and where to go from there!
