  • 1,000 Days of Conflict: The Human Cost of War in Ukraine
    2024/11/21
    In this poignant episode, we delve deep into the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine that has resulted with the country's war with Russia, which has now passed its grim 1,000-day milestone. In particular, we explore the devastating impact on ordinary Ukrainians, whose lives have been upended by the conflict in so many ways. As always, we invite listeners to join in collective intention and prayers, willing comfort and strength for the countless individuals affected by loss, trauma, and hardship, and homing in to see where our intentions might be specifically focused. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as Ukraine continues its weary and unrelenting war with Russia, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all Ukrainian citizens will be guided and protected in coping with all emotional, mental and physical effects on their lives resulting from their country’s war with Russia. Please join us in holding this.

    2024/11/14
    As the Russia-Ukraine war nears its grim 1,000-day milestone, in the first of two special episodes, we consider how the conflict has affected the lives of the many ordinary citizens who have had no part to play on the battlefields and in the corridors of power on both sides of the conflict. As always, we focus on where our intentions and prayers may be most needed. This week, we look at how the war is affecting citizens in Russia. Suggested Intention Focus for this week: This week, as Russian citizens continue to bear the impacts of their country’s war with Ukraine, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all Russian citizens will be guided and protected in coping with all emotional, mental and physical effects on their lives resulting from their country’s war with Ukraine.

  • Paradise Lost or Gained: Dealing with Disappointment or Joy in the Wake of the US Elections
    2024/11/07
    In this week's episode, as the results of the US elections become known, we focus on contrasting themes of disappointment and joy, and how to deal with these in an environment that has been especially polarized. As both US citizens and others process the results, we discuss how individuals on both sides can find peace and unity through compassion and understanding, and offer practical suggestions for dealing both with fear, disappointment and anxiety, and for handling joy and celebration with equanimity and empathy for supporters of a losing side. We reflect on the vision of a harmonious society, drawing inspiration from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s concept of a "Beloved Community," in which justice, equality, and love for all humanity prevail. We ask whether this is a Utopian ideal or one that can be put into practice to bridge divides and foster mutual respect in a polarized world? Crucially, in the days following the vote, we look at where our intentions and prayers might now be focused. Whether you are celebrating or mourning, this episode provides guidance on navigating emotions with grace, encouraging a collective intention towards healing and unity. Tune in and discover how we can each contribute to a more harmonious world, while perhaps receiving some comfort and hope if you are among those now feeling despondent. Suggested Intention Focus for this Week: This week, as the US comes to terms with the election of Donald Trump for a second term as its President, following a heavily contested election, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all US citizens will be moved by compassion to respect and love their fellow countryfolk, even though they may dislike their politics, words and actions. Please join us in holding this.
