Insights at the Edge - A Free Podcast Interview

The Courage to Confront Evil �

with Caroline Myss

According to different polls over the last decade, 50�80 percent of Americans believe in angels.

But how many Americans believe in demons?

According to New York Times bestselling author Caroline Myss, "People love to talk about angels and how angels help them find parking spaces, which is nonsense. Angels are messengers of the divine. They are holy beings of light. Likewise, there are demonic forces, and these are just as real. They are messengers of darkness."

In this provocative new podcast, Caroline talks about how our denial of evil has actually helped give this force of darkness "free reign" in our world today, and how we do ourselves a disservice if we don't confront these dark forces and how they work in us and in others.

Caroline Myss has created a new eight-hour audio learning series with Sounds True called The Courage to Confront Evil: The Most Important Challenge of Our Time. In this free podcast, she addresses some of the key themes covered in this new series, including:

What we miss when we only rely on psychological language to describe illnesses of the soul
How evil manifests when we disconnect from our conscience
The importance of examining our choices and the consequences of "sin," which Caroline defines as the conscious choice to harm another person
How the universe works in an impersonal way according to natural laws
The doorways through which darkness enters: why we need to completely give up "blaming" and feeling like we "deserve" special treatment
A scaffolding approach to developing faith and becoming an instrument of courage

�

According to Caroline Myss, "Everything in the human experience is about choice and consequence. Everything, everything. Everything's in our hands."

What are the choices that invite the most light and which choices invite darkness? Listen to this free podcast (or read the transcript if you wish), and let�s make our moment-to-moment choices wisely, with soul-level humility and integrity.

With love on the journey,

Friend,

There's still time to claim your free guided iRest Yoga Nidra meditation from Dr. Richard Miller. Choose one of three 15-minute videos for pain relief, better sleep, or anxiety ease.

ACCESS FREE TEACHING

iRest is one of the most effective practices there is for greater well-being, and we're not the only ones who think so�Richard has done extensive studies on the effects of iRest with the military.

Take a look at what some of the participants have to say . . .

When I started iRest, I thought I was signing up for a medication, not meditation. I hadn't slept more than two straight hours since Vietnam. Now I am sleeping 6�8 hours a night! It's changed my life completely.

�Willie, Vietnam Veteran

iRest has been very useful for my everyday life as it brings me the mental, physical, and spiritual calmness that I need in order to live the fast-paced, chaotic life that is the US Army. When I practice iRest, I notice that I have a sharper mental clarity and I am able to relax faster to relieve both the mental and physical stress I'm under.

�Active Duty Soldier, US Army

I have been doing yoga nidra for three years now, and I have gotten to a point where I no longer have to take any medication for my blood pressure or for sleeping, so it has made a big improvement in my life.

�Tom, Vietnam Veteran

This practice is helping me let go of my negative thoughts and feelings of helplessness about not having control over my life and decisions.

�Wounded Warrior

iRest is a powerful practice. It has changed the lives of veterans and soldiers who have experienced extreme trauma and often continue to put their lives in danger every day.

Shining light on the greatest psychological imperative of our times �

JOIN NOW: The Understanding Narcissism summit

Hi friend,

Recently we put together quite a unique conversation among top psychologists, spiritual teachers, doctors, authors, and more �

To shine a light on the greatest psychological imperative of our current times �

Understanding Narcissism.

You may be wondering how an online event like this can help your life in an immediate sense.

Chances are you've been impacted by a narcissist�whether that's a parent, boss, coworker, partner/spouse, or friend �

And leading research suggests we all fall somewhere on the narcissistic spectrum.

At each level we�ll experience unique challenges impacting our relationships and our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

This summit can support your life greatly if you identify with any of the following �

HEALERS & HELPING PROFESSIONALS

For psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors, social workers, therapists, nurses, healers, bodyworkers, massage therapists, and more, the Understanding Narcissism summit will support you to help your clients (or patients) heal from toxic relationships and an increasingly narcissistic culture. You'll be empowered with cutting-edge research and up-to-date skills to help them create healthy relationships and have better coping skills. You may also find personal benefit from one of the many speakers on our highly curated list of presenters. CE Credits apply to the following professions.

EMPATHS & HIGHLY SENSITIVE PEOPLE

Many of the Understanding Narcissism experts agree that there is a toxic (and almost inevitable) attraction between narcissists and empaths. If you are a highly sensitive person, you're probably giving too much and putting the needs of others before your own. You may have a narcissist encouraging you to do so at the cost of your own well-being. The summit will help you explore ways to unhook yourself from that pattern and create more rewarding relationships where you�re seen, valued, and loved for who you are (as opposed to what you do or give).

PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH NARCISSISM

According to some of our featured experts, everyone has narcissistic tendencies. These range from a healthy self-esteem all the way to self-obsession and grandiosity. Depending on where we fall on the spectrum, our relationships may be suffering or impaired. The summit will give you the tools to increase healthy self-esteem, connect with your most authentic self, and create the relationships with others you truly desire.

You can register for your free space in this 10-day online summit here.

You'll hear from luminaries such as Dr. Judith Orloff, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Est�s, Dr. W. Keith Campbell, and others as they explore topics such as:

What is narcissism and how is it impacting you personally, professionally, culturally, relationally, and spiritually?
How does our culture incentivize narcissism? Why do narcissistic leaders "rise to the top"? And how can we come together as a culture to respond?
Specific ways to cultivate healthy confidence to promote resilience and well-being
How to utilize coping strategies such as making and keeping healthy boundaries, practicing self-compassion, or political/social activism

Reserve your free spot here!

Your friends on the journey,

The Sounds True team

P.S. If you're excited and hopeful about breaking free from the impact narcissism has had in your life �

If you're ready to start being part of the solution our world truly needs at this time �

Or if you're just someone who loves to dive deep into learning and exploring �

We've got a special Upgrade Package for you (for a limited time).

The Upgrade Package gives you instant access to three special bonuses from Sounds True authors (which you can read about here) and lifetime access to all 20 summit recordings.

The entire Sounds True team feels strongly that this summit will help you along your healing journey �

But if for any reason you don't experience what you're looking for, we'll refund your investment, no questions asked, for the next 12 months.

Here's that upgrade link again, for your convenience.

ENROLL NOW: Opening to Our Lives: An Eight-Week Immersive Online Learning Experience in Mindfulness Meditation

Friend,

"I'll get what I really need to feel fulfilled in some future moment." Most of us think this way most of the time.

Pioneering mindfulness meditation teacher Jon Kabat-Zinn fiercely challenges this myth. He invites us to stop chasing better moments and instead "open to our lives."

When we do, we find the fulfillment we seek�right now in our embodied experience.

Jon Kabat-Zinn is very clear: his new eight-week online course, Opening to Our Lives, is not a self-improvement program.

Opening to Our Lives is a mindfulness-based training program that helps us become grounded in present-moment experience. When we do, we recognize that we are already complete and uniquely special.

Jon describes it as "the ultimate love affair"�a love affair with life on its own terms.

Opening to Our Lives is Jon Kabat-Zinn's gift to those who are new to mindfulness meditation or who want to deepen the love that comes from unconditionally befriending ourselves.

With open arms, I invite you to join us for this eight-week online training program. Please register. The course begins in just a few days, and enrollment is closing soon.

It is time to stop chasing the mirage of future fulfillment. When we do, we become what Jon calls "a locus of integrity, spaciousness, and sanity."

I believe this is what is deeply asked of each of us. When we become present-centered, spacious, and sane, we have tremendous capacity to be healing agents for the benefit of the whole.

I hope you will join us for Opening to Our Lives.

With love and tenderness on the journey,

Tami Simon

Founder and Publisher, Sounds True

It is with the intention of bringing more compassion and awareness to a tough conversation, to ourselves, and to our hurting world �

We've brought together some of the world's most cutting-edge psychologists, psychiatrists, TEDx speakers, bestselling authors, spiritual teachers, researchers, neuroscience experts, and more in an engaging dialogue to empower us all �

To create healthier relationships, feel seen, heard and cared for �

And to begin to feel empowered to shift our culture from "me" to "we."

We believe this needed culture shift can solve many of the world's most difficult problems, so if you're one of the people who's been looking around asking "What can I do?"�this may have some of your answers.

These conversations are fresh, raw, and real � bringing new perspectives to a challenge that impacts every single human alive today, featuring �

Ramani Durvasula, PhD, "Staying Sane and Healthy in the Era of Narcissism and Entitlement"
Terri Cole, LCSW, MSW, "Decoding the Connection Between Narcissistic Parents and Partners"
Abdul Saad, MPsych, "Understanding Covert Narcissism"
Judith Orloff, MD, "The Toxic Attraction Between Empaths and Narcissists"
Caroline Myss, spiritual teacher and author, "Narcissism and the Evolution of Consciousness"
And 15 other pioneers and thought leaders in consciousness, psychology, spirituality, human connection, and more.

You can reserve your free spot in the Understanding Narcissism online summit here.

If you don't have time to make all the sessions live but you're excited about beginning to heal your own wounding from narcissists or narcissistic tendencies �

Or you'd like to be part of this culture shift we're speaking of �

You can check out our special upgrade package here.

The Mindfulness Revolution with Jon Kabat-Zinn

Authenticity. We can't create it, or project an authentic version of ourselves for others to see.

So where do we find that feeling of authenticity?

According to scientist, writer, and pioneering meditation teacher Jon Kabat-Zinn, the feeling of realness and wholeness that we yearn for can't be found outside of ourselves. It can only be found through what he calls "opening to our lives."

In this free podcast, Jon states, "Authenticity means that we take responsibility for the authorship of our lives. And that type of authenticity can only come from awareness, when we are fully present and able to deal with what Zorba the Greek called 'the full catastrophe of the human condition.'"

Jon beautifully describes the "rotation in consciousness" that happens when we learn to rest in awareness instead of being carried away by our thoughts. He compares the flow of thinking to a cascading waterfall going over a cliff, a waterfall that continues without end. The invitation is to find a place to sit by the waterfall and watch the cascading stream pass by � listening to the sounds and energy of the thought stream expressing itself, while remaining on our seat, resting in awareness.

Jon describes the act of taking our meditation seat in this way as a "radical act of love." This is the practice of "non-doing" and it enables us to realize our true nature as "homo sapiens sapiens"�the species that knows, and knows that it knows.

According to Jon, becoming aware of awareness is perfectly natural to us, but for many people, it is a missing part of our education. That is why he has created a new 8-week online course with Sounds True called Opening to Our Lives, which teaches the essentials of meditating in this way. If you are interested in learning more, please click here.

In addition to talking about the power of becoming "aware of awareness," in this free podcast, Jon and I talk about:

How "affectionate attention" naturally arises when we realize that we are completely embedded in a relational world
Looking at our supposed "failures" in a generous way
Medical research that shows that patients who practice mindfulness meditation while receiving ultraviolet light treatments for psoriasis heal four times faster
A working definition of "healing" as "coming to terms with things as they are"

A working definition of "healing" as "coming to terms with things as they are"

Jon Kabat-Zinn describes practicing mindfulness as having a love affair with what is most authentic and deepest in life. When we rest in awareness, we feel grounded, sane, and open-hearted. We then have a chance at alleviating the suffering and illuminating the beauty of other people and our world. Now that is a compelling invitation.

With love on the journey,

Tami Simon

Do narcissists rule the world? Dr. Durvasula's perspective

Hi friend,

In Dr. Ramani Durvasula's career as a psychologist, she's heard the same words from many of her clients:

He (or she) doesn't seem to listen to me. I tell him two or three times we need to leave at eight o'clock.

Simple things like that, I have to keep repeating myself.

I just don't feel heard.

Is it me? Is there something wrong with me? Am I not doing enough?

When asked why she wrote Should I Stay or Should I Go, she replied:

I teach about it, I research it, I treat people who are in these relationships �

And I've even been in these relationships.

For better or worse, I know this territory better than most.

Narcissists appear to rule the world. They are often our leaders, and they're so toxic that people either stay and suffer or they leave. They have set it up so that the world is running on their schedule.

If you've ever felt unheard by another person you love �

If you've noticed narcissism and "leadership" go hand in hand, and you'd like to feel empowered to be part of the solution �

We invite you to participate for free in the Understanding Narcissism online summit.

The summit is live until Thursday, November 14, so there's still plenty of time for you to join us!

If you're unable to attend any of our sessions on the dates they air, you can take advantage of our early-bird special on the summit Upgrade Package, giving you lifetime access to each of the presentations in the summit, and much more.

For the early bird pricing of just $197 or 3 payments of $67, here's what you'll receive:

Digital session recordings: 20 presentations with practical guidance on how to heal from narcissistic wounding, protect yourself in an increasingly narcissistic culture, and feel more seen, heard, and cared for in your relationships.

Downloadable presentation materials: Transcripts, video, audio, and additional resources so you can listen to them anywhere (or at most any time), like in the car, while you're out for a walk, or doing tasks around the house. Also, if you prefer reading over listening, you'll be able to scan through each presentation.

Lifetime access to the Understanding Narcissism summit: You can go through it once or many times to deepen your understanding of this complex subject that impacts us all.

These 3 bonuses handpicked by the Sounds True team:

Healing the Core Wound of Unworthiness with Adyashanti
Healing Your Attachment Wounds with Diane Poole Heller, PhD
The Science of Mindfulness and Self-Compassion with Kristin Neff, PhD, and Shauna Shapiro, PhD

If you've struggled to be heard and seen (as most of us have) �

Or if you just want to take a more active role in shifting our culture from "me" to "we" �

We hope you find something here that supports your journey.

Warmly,

Your friends at Sounds True

P.S. We guarantee your satisfaction with all Sounds True products for one year when you purchase them through our website.

However, if you're not 100% satisfied with the Understanding Narcissism summit Upgrade Package, for any reason, simply return it with receipt for a full refund.

A peek behind the scenes at our new course with Richard Miller

iRest Yoga Nidra Immersion 8-week online course - SAVE $100

Friend,

An excuse to do nothing but lie down and relax for a whole weekend. It felt like such an indulgence�and one I desperately needed.

These were my thoughts as I got ready to attend Richard Miller's iRest Yoga Nidra training in person last fall.

And in a way, I was right. It was a very relaxing weekend.

It was also one of the most impactful spiritual trainings I've ever experienced.

My name is Juniper Stokes, and I've been working at Sounds True for just over three years now�though I've been a fan for much longer.

I'm also a certified yoga and pranayama teacher and longtime meditator, so yoga nidra has been a regular part of my practice for some time.

Maybe that's why I was so surprised at how powerful Richard's approach to yoga nidra seemed�and at how I was able to effortlessly enter into such profound states of meditation through his guidance.

Ever since that first weekend training, I've been looking forward to the launch of our new online course with Richard, the iRest Yoga Nidra Immersion.

It has been an absolute gift to revisit all of the teachings and practices in this course. Here are just a few of my favorite parts:

Next-level somatic meditation�Body-sensing practices based on the homunculus theory, which outlines a neural map of how our senses unfold
A new appreciation for yoga wisdom�Richard's extensive study and down-to-earth style make it easy to see how these teachings can inform our modern lives
The mysterious ways life communicates with you�When you welcome all that arises as a messenger, you're guided back to your true essence
Greater equanimity, peace, and ease�A unique practice for working with feelings and thoughts on the mat, so you're less likely to be hijacked by them in daily life
Spiritual expansion�At the deepest levels, these practices help remove barriers to knowing your inherent goodness and feeling at one with all that is
The best sleep of your life�Because whatever else is happening in our lives, we all need this

These practices have helped me become much more able to handle stress and trust in the flow of life. I've also noticed that it�s easier for me to drop into deep meditative states almost immediately, no matter what the outside circumstances. And of course, I definitely get better sleep.

I hope you'll join us to experience iRest Yoga Nidra for yourself:

iRest Yoga Nidra Immersion

An 8-Week Online Intensive to Accelerate Mind-Body Healing & Spiritual Awakening

Sandra Ingerman: Healing with Spiritual Light

According to shamanic teacher Sandra Ingerman, "the nature of light is that it transforms."

And of course, we can easily observe this. For example, we can move from the shade into sunlight to warm ourselves or bring a flashlight into a dark room in order to see better.

But what about when we experience ourselves as what Sandra Ingerman calls "spiritual light"? How might this transform our environment and other people?

According to Sandra Ingerman, experiencing ourselves as spiritual light is the foundation of a shamanic practice called "transfiguration," and it can have stunning (and even measurable) effects.

In this free podcast, Sandra and I talk about transfiguration and how the original instructions for this practice came to her in a dream. We also talk about:

The possibility of using transfiguration to reverse environmental pollution and experiments that Sandra and thousands of her students have conducted to reduce toxicity in water
How healing illness with spiritual light is a practice that can be found in faith traditions across time and across the world
The cultural shifts that would need to happen for transfiguration to become an evidence-based practice recognized by the scientific community
Sandra's personal ordeal with a difficult illness, and how sometimes an illness can be an initiation in which we are asked to die to everything that is false in our life in order to heal
The importance of aligning our words, thoughts, and even our daydreams with what we are trying to create in the world
And finally, Sandra guides us in a short practice where we connect with our own spiritual light

Several years ago, Sandra Ingerman was recording an audio program in the Sounds True studio, and I decided to briefly pop in to say hello. Sandra wasn't in the recording studio when I walked in. There was just an empty chair, a side table, a microphone setup, and her notes on a music stand. Immediately upon entering the room, I felt there was something different about the space. I experienced the room as sparkling and bright (it usually feels like a dark den to me), and I felt an unfamiliar elation in my body.

A minute or so later, Sandra walked in, and I asked her what she had done to the Sounds True studio. She responded, "I didn't do anything to the studio. I did something to me."

That is my own experience feeling the impacts of transfiguration. To learn more and have your own experience, you can listen to the free podcast here.

With love on the journey,

Tami Simon

Founder and Publisher, Sounds True

P.S. I am so happy to announce that Sandra Ingerman is teaching a new 8-week online course on Healing with Spiritual Light: The Shamanic Power of Transfiguration to Heal Ourselves, Each Other, and the Earth. The course begins on November 11, and you are invited to join us! Please click here to learn more.

A personal message from Tami Simon

"If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough."

�Meister Eckhart

�

I believe that if people from all of the different wisdom traditions gathered together and were asked to agree on one focus for a special day of reflection, "giving thanks" would be somewhere at the top of the list.

Gratitude changes us. Instead of looking at what's wrong, we turn our hearts for a moment to what's right. And there are so many things that are right.

For example, the appreciation of one complete breath (as corny as it sounds, whenever I turn my mind to gratitude, this is the first place I start)�feeling the fluttery exhilaration of the inhale, the excitement at the top of the inhale, the relaxation of a full and deep exhale, and then the interesting open space that awaits when our exhale is complete (you can tell I feel grateful for breathing).

And then there is the feeling of air on our skin, and the faces of the people we love, and the beauty of trees and the natural world . . . and we can each go on and on and on and on.

And let's do that! Let's go on and on and on and on about all of the ways that we appreciate what is right and beautiful in this moment (and if you're at all like me, with a tendency to focus on problem-solving, this might not be your usual perspective).

And if you do go on and on and on and appreciate the beauty that is right here, you probably won't need science to tell you that you have shifted the neural pathways in your brain (although scientific studies will certainly confirm that)�you can feel the immediate shift.

As I write this, I feel appreciative of so many beautiful "presences" in my life, including the presence of YOU. I am grateful that you read these emails, that you feel in some way connected to Sounds True, that you are interested in personal transformation, in being wholehearted and of benefit to others. I am grateful that, even though it is through this weird form of a mass email from me to you, we are connected.

At Sounds True, we are grateful to the entire ecosystem of which we are a part: to our authors, to the ideas themselves, to our vendors and manufacturers, to the buildings that house us, to the natural world, and to future generations.

And most of all, we are grateful to you, the individual person who enjoys and derives benefit from the learning programs we create. And we want to make sure we are meeting you "where you are at" and that our programs are accessible and you feel encouraged to explore and learn from different teachers. Like most companies, our deepest discounts of the year are available between now and the end of December, and I want you to know about this, if you are interested. To learn more about these special offers, just click here.

Gratitude creates a circle of appreciation. When we express our gratitude, the recipient feels it, lights up, and appreciates our existence in return. I love being in a virtuous circle of appreciation with you.

With love and a grateful heart,

Today is the last day of our holiday sale!

At the end of the day, it is up to you.

It is also "up to you" at the beginning of the day, and in the middle of the day, and really any time of day.

What is up to you?

Your inner orientation and how you tend to your state of being.

At Sounds True, we want to help. We want to make sure you have the tools, skills, and resources you need to find a calm center, turn toward any feelings of pain and disconnection, and find an all-encompassing embrace that enables you to accept yourself and be a "love-light" for others.

We have created hundreds of transformational programs to support you on this journey. And the good news is that our largest sitewide sale of the year hasn't ended yet (including the opportunity to purchase digital downloads and gift cards). Just click here to learn more.

For those of us in the northern hemisphere, we are in the midst of the darkest days of the year. And interestingly, this is a time when many people turn toward personal reflection and spiritual practice as a way to release the old and make space for what is new and wanting to emerge. If Sounds True programs can be helpful to you on that journey, we are here for you, arms wide open. Even though it is up to each one of us to tend to our inner state of being, thank goodness we have each other.

With love and gratitude on the journey,

Founder and Publisher, Sounds True

Staying Conscious in the Face of Adversity: A Free Teaching Series on How Crisis Propels Awakening

Dear friend,

At the end of last year, long before any of us knew we would find ourselves in the midst of a global pandemic, Sounds True planned to film a new teaching series with Eckhart Tolle on how to stay conscious in difficult times.

Little did we know how much we would all need such a program!

The two-day filming was scheduled to occur during the second week of March in front of a live audience. As the shelter-in-place recommendations began to surface across North America, we cancelled the live audience. And then we cancelled flying the Sounds True film crew to Vancouver (we worked with a very talented local crew in British Columbia instead).

During the production, it became clear that this new series could be of serious benefit to millions of people worldwide during this very challenging time, and that we needed to make this program available at no charge and through every possible channel of distribution.

And here it is: Staying Conscious in the Face of Adversity: A Free Teaching Series on How Crisis Propels Awakening.

Watch the Video: Staying Conscious in the Face of Adversity: A Free Teaching Series on How Crisis Propels Awakening

?

WATCH NOW

Eckhart Tolle has an important and empowering view about how extreme difficulties can accelerate spiritual awakening. In this five-part program, Eckhart shares an evolutionary perspective on how crisis propels evolution, and how we are each called to greater consciousness when faced with extreme challenges.

In our first video, "Awakening Through Adversity," Eckhart discusses:

How the ego perceives challenges and obstacles
The three kinds of adversity-personal, collective, and mind-made
How the collective mind finds expression in social and mainstream media
The realization that changes everything: you are not your thoughts
The vital relationship between spiritual awakening, human development, and adversity
Finding peace amid turmoil

"Encountering adversity ultimately deepens us and gives us access to inner strength," explains Eckhart. May the teachings in this new series give you access to greater strength and serve to deepen your awakening.

With love on the journey,

Tami Simon

Founder and Publisher, Sounds True

P.S. I would also like to invite you to please check out Sounds True's "Resilience in Challenging Times" collection of free resources. Each day, we feature a new webinar or a classic rebroadcast from the Sounds True archives as our offering of support and inspiration to you, our beloved customers. We want you to feel our love and support, especially during this uncertain time that is quite challenging for so many of us.

Submit your application today for the first-ever Inner MBA-a 9-month training to cultivate the inner skills that lead to success and fulfillment

Dear Sounds True friends,

It is now widely recognized that a leader''s inner development is a huge determinant of the success of their team or organization.

What do I mean by "inner development"? I mean your ability to reflect and be self-aware, to listen deeply and give voice to your needs, to consider multiple perspectives, and to act in ways that are in accord with your deepest values.

Accelerating such inner development is the goal of a new nine-month immersion learning program that Sounds True has created in partnership with LinkedIn, Wisdom 2.0, and MindfulNYU. It is called the Inner MBA. You can watch this video to learn more:

The Inner MBA brings together a world-class faculty composed of:

Leading socially conscious CEOs, such as Patagonia's Rose Marcario; hospitality pioneer Chip Conley; the cofounder of Twitch, Justin Kan; and Eileen Fisher
Pioneering business trainers and educators, such as Harvard's Lisa Lahey, Otto Scharmer from MIT, VP of People Development at Google Karen May, and science expert Amishi Jha
World-renowned wisdom teachers, such as Jack Kornfield, Caroline Myss, Rhonda Magee, and Tara Brach

Never before has such a prestigious and compelling faculty ever been assembled in one place. We''ve created an immersion learning program that will save you decades of trying to piece together these various trainings on your own.

Additionally, participants in the Inner MBA will journey through the program as part of an eight-person "Learning Pod." With your Learning Pod, you will have the chance to practice the new skills you are developing, create powerful new friendships, and get feedback from your peers.

And finally, at the end of the nine-month program, you will receive a certificate of completion from MindfulNYU.

To learn more about the Inner MBA and see a list of all participating faculty and an overview of the curriculum, please click here.

Yes, there are strategic business advantages that come through training in "inner wisdom skills."

But here is the interesting thing: even though the motivation for some business leaders might be to train in these skills in order to achieve greater financial success-and that works-an even greater goal is being accomplished at the very same time.

In my experience, once you commit to a meditation practice, learn to listen with your full attention, take other people's perspective, and tell the truth with vulnerability, before you know it, a type of indestructible "soul fire" becomes ignited.

And it generates far more than increased company profitability.

Soon, your heart is engaged and the power of your unique soul is unleashed. Soon, we have people who "walk the talk" at work, who embody in action the values they espouse. Soon, we have people who are determined to create businesses and work for businesses that actually solve social problems instead of creating them.

As one of the presenters in the Inner MBA, Oshoke Pamela Abalu, likes to say, work then becomes "love made visible." And for those of us who pour ourselves out at work, I believe that is what we want: to wholly contribute our gifts and make our love visible.

In creating the Inner MBA, we have pulled out all of the stops to bring our full creativity and intensity to the design of this immersion learning program. If you feel called to powerfully grow yourself and in the process powerfully contribute to others, please join us.

With love on the journey,

Tami Simon

Founder and Publisher, Sounds True

P.S. If you are interested in applying to be part of the inaugural class of the Inner MBA, please click here. A generous scholarship program is also available for people who work for nonprofits or need financial assistance to attend.

PARTNER ANNOUNCEMENT | FREE 4-Day Online Event ?

FREE Loving, Knowing, and Growing online program

Dear friend,

During challenging times, practicing both inside our minds and out in the world is what makes all the difference.

That''s why we''re inviting you to join us as we explore the fundamentals of personal practice, in the FREE Loving, Knowing, and Growing online program, April 28-May 1.

Practice is like a stool with three legs: kindness, mindfulness, and cultivation. Put simply, if we''re not paying attention with a warm heart while developing ourselves, something is missing. A stool with just one or two legs is wobbly and unreliable.

So in this free program, you''ll get powerful, practical ideas and tools to help you be calm and steady, loving and kind, while growing resilient happiness each day-even when the world seems turned upside down.

April 28, we''ll begin with an hour-long conversation with Tara Brach, Joseph Goldstein, and Rick Hanson, hosted by Tami Simon.

The next three days, you''ll receive a teaching session and guided meditation, featuring:

Tara Brach on Loving, Warmhearted Kindness

Joseph Goldstein on Knowing Mindfulness

Rick Hanson on Growing Inner Resources

And if you can''t join us on those days, the recordings will be available for you to watch or just listen to at your convenience. Plus you''ll have lifetime access to this wonderful material.

We''ve also created an exclusive Facebook Group so you can connect with others and share your experience.

PLEASE SIGN ME UP

We are so happy to be able to share this with you! As we practice, and as we grow in practice, we benefit others as well as ourselves.

May you be well,

Tara, Joseph, and Rick
