Quest for Eternal Sunshine A Holocaust Survivor's Journey from Darkness to Light by Myra Goodman
April 20th 2020
Today we continue our conversation with the passionate and articulate Myra Goodman who talks about her father's journey from holocaust survivor, child with dyslexia, brutal parenting, who grows into a most peaceful and happy man. How did he make the transition so many long for? Listen in as Myra shares her father's wisdom.
Peace in Pandemic:
This offering of practices for creating calm within your body whenever you desire improve in their power as you use them frequently. Begin, then keep beginning...that is the secret to all meditations!
Stay safe and be well everyone!
Believing what we know involves our emotions. So when, as now, what we know may prove unreliable our emotional waves tend to grow large…our amygdala brain, the oldest part of our brain, the part which registers terror, rage, all the extreme and primitive emotions, sends warnings that there is danger.
This warning of danger causes our bodies to flood with cortisol, a hormone associated with stress. The anti-dotes to this flooding can, with practice, help us maintain a steady hand at the wheel as we navigate the same waters as everyone else: waters that are completely unknown.
Here is an anti-dote. Whenever you feel your stress levels rising, your mind beginning to race, place one hand on your heart area and the other on your belly. Doesn’t matter which one goes where. Now breathe for 3 to 5 minutes, letting your mind follow the breath, as though it is an old friend. That’s it. Relax into this pose for as long as it takes for you to feel calm.
Another way to create a sense of calm through the upset of each day is this. Whenever you think about it, breathe deeply for a minute or two, focusing on your feet. Remind yourself “I have food in the fridge, a roof over my head, I am warm and comfortable right now.” Create a sense of well-being within yourself first.
Another protective practice that will also enhance a sense of calm amidst uncertainty is the Blue Egg Practice. I offer this to meditation practitioners and
Of course, we want in these times to reach out to others, to say hello and ask after relatives, neighbors and friends. By starting with our own calming practice, we immediately bring a sense of calm to those who share our immediate space. We transmit our inner state to them. So, begin with yourself, and practice calm serenity. Offering your calm, when you are ready to leave this practice, offering your calm to the whole of life in all directions is another way to end by sharing.
Stay safe, and practice calm well-being often.
