Ep 193That Thing About Zen, Spiritualism and Religion - Throwback Wednesday Special

In This Episode: Throwback Wednesday Special, a brilliant conversation from last November 2021 I had with an interfaith minister where we talked about the fact that we are all human beings and no matter what religion we are no matter what position in life we are, color, race, creed that we all are part of this planet as a whole. With everything going on with Roe versus wade and some of the other Supreme Court decisions that may or may not be coming down the line I just wanted to remind everybody to take time to listen, to understand that we are all in this together, and that we need to not only love each other but to respect each other as individuals. I do not agree with the Supreme Court decisions made lately as I believe that they are more religious and right wing based than set in a legal precedent grounded in our personal freedom and privacies which is unfortunate. But we have an opportunity to take a positive out of this to fight for what is right and to work together as the human race and as Americans to be humane, compassionate, understanding and tolerant to make the changes needed. So please enjoy this Wednesday throwback episode as I feel that we could all benefit from the words of wisdom therein.In this episode we discuss and ask the question: what is interfaith ministry? Can interfaith ministries bring us together in a unique way to allow for us all to connect ourselves through the universe? Is it true that we are all connected to one another? Stay tuned because we’re going to talk to an interfaith minister and discuss different world religions and what they each teach us about living our life to the fullest; the similarities and differences, as well as contemplate the key takeaways! My guest In This Episode Jerry Zehr he is an ordained minister and has been a leader in Interfaith ministries for over 35 years. He has helped create four interfaith organizations, including the Carmel Interfaith Alliance and the Indiana Multifaith Network. Jerry leads workshops, retreats, and speaks at events on different aspects of Walking the Enlightened Path, Developing Inner Peace, Learning to Forgive, and Building Understandings of Different Faith Traditions.

Ep 191Over the Teacup Sunday - That Thing About Fathers Day 2022

I’m here with Michael Herst I’m here with my lovely wife and Co host Diane Welcome to One More Thing Before You Go Over the Teacup Sunday “The campaign to celebrate the nation’s fathers did not meet with the same enthusiasm– as mother’s day perhaps because, as one florist explained, “fathers haven’t the same sentimental appeal that mothers have.” But here we are June 17, 2022 celebrating another Father's Day to everyone of you fathers out there which I'm told there are about 70 million of us here in the United states alone. So stay tuned we're going to talk a little bit about the history of Father's Day and here for some very special people in my life as well to share this day with you“On July 5, 1908, a West Virginia church sponsored the nation’s first event explicitly in honor of fathers, a Sunday sermon in memory of the 362 men who had died in the previous December’s explosions at the Fairmont Coal Company Monongah mine, but it was a one-time commemoration and not an annual holiday.The next year, a Spokane, Washington, woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, one of six children raised by a widower, tried to establish an official equivalent to Mother’s Day for male parents. She went to local churches, the YMCA, shopkeepers and government officials to drum up support for her idea, and she was successful: Washington State celebrated the nation’s first statewide Father’s Day on June 19, 1910. It was not until 1972—58 years after President Woodrow Wilson made Mother’s Day official—that the day honoring fathers became a nationwide holiday in the United States. Father’s Day 2022 will occur on Sunday, June 19.” (The History Channel June 16 2022 https://www.history.com/news/hitler-death-cause-teeth-analysis)More at https://beforyougopodcast.comThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Ep 182That Thing About Childhood Trauma, PTSD, and The key to Inner Peace.

In This episode: a story of a quest for inner peace, overcoming the dark side of negativity – from being born with her right foot up against her right shin, being adopted, merciless teased as the first girl boarder at a boy's boarding school, growing up with two adoptive alcoholic parents, and finding her mother dead on the bathroom floor when she was 19. How do you cope with that? How do you access those deep held emotions and tensions, to heal from mental and physical ailments? We're going to find out how when we have a conversation with Ann Hince who lived through it..and can show you how you can too. I am your host Michael Herst welcome to One More Thing Before You Go.When Ann was 19, she woke one morning to find her mother dead in her bathroom.Twenty years later the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface. Ann found a simple technique that helped her release these emotions - but she went further and can now put her awareness inside her body - and has changed the bone structure of her skull and grown ½ an inch at age 55. Ann has found that seeking out our truth, what we truly feel, and accepting those feelings, is the key to inner peace.I am just like many other people. Just like you perhaps? I had a childhood with plenty of trauma and dysfunction. I had PTSD into my 30s, the result of two alcoholic parents. I became a software engineer because it was so comforting to know that logic could work in part of my life, even though it never seemed to work in my chaotic life as a child. In my 30s and 40s I was afforded the luxury of being a stay-at-home mom to my two boys. Realizing how traumatized I still was when my boys were young, I set out to become the calm mom I wanted to be. I changed. Things changed. Life changed. I had no idea where I was heading, I just continued to do “my release work” which is what I called it. Nothing felt better, so why not?And here I am years later, the calm mom I wanted to be (well, most of the time), with powerful brainwaves (see below), with others feeling calm around me, with seemingly magical events happening daily, and with the ability to sense and release tension deep within my body.My goal is to reach those people who really want inner change, inner peace, those who have the desire and will to do the inner work. There are many who do not want to look inside, but if you are someone who does, who really wants change, then it is my pleasure to show you the path.

Ep 179Over The Teacup-That Thing About Mother's Day 2022

In this episode it’s finally here Mother's Day 2022 today's May 8th it's a Sunday and we're so happy that she joined us. Mother’s Day, is celebrated as a holiday in honor of mothers in countries throughout the world. In its modern form the holiday originated in the United States, where it is observed on the second Sunday in May. Many other countries also celebrate the holiday on this date, while some mark the observance at other times of the year.Mothers are special because without them none of us would be here! Throughout history there is historical documentation in one form or another of celebrating moms. In fact there are some very unique forms of this celebration that can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in honor of the Great Mother of the Gods Rhea also called Cybele, of the ancient Oriental and Greco-Roman deity, known by a variety of local names; the name Cybele or Cybebe predominates in Greek and Roman literature from about the 5th century BC onward. Her full official Roman name was Mater Deum Magna Idaea (Great Idaean Mother of the Gods).The clearest modern precedent for Mother’s Day is the early Christian festival known as “Mothering Sunday.” Once a major tradition in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, this celebration fell on the fourth Sunday in Lent and was originally seen as a time when the faithful would return to their “mother church”—the main church in the vicinity of their home—for a special service. .During the Middle Ages the custom developed of allowing those who had moved away to visit their home parishes and their mothers on Laetare Sunday, the fourth Sunday of Lent. This became Mothering Sunday in Britain, where it continued into modern times, although it has largely been replaced by Mother’s Day. Mother's Day is celebrated on Sunday, May 8, 2022. The history channel May 8,2022 https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/mothers-dayThe American embodiment of Mother’s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 I just a deeply personal day for and visiting with your mother which became an official U.S. holiday in 1914. Unfortunately with the commercialization by florist retailers in card companies in other industries that work to promote the holiday, Jarvis would later condemn the holiday Jarvis felt that the day that she created to appreciate your mother and maybe help her around the house with other things or sit and talk and have a cup of tea, was ruined due to that commercialization and spent the later part of her life trying to remove it from the calendar. While dates and celebrations vary, Mother’s Day traditionally is celebrated in the United states in North America, South America, United Kingdom, Thailand, Mexico, Spain, Nepal, Ethiopia and many more. https://beforeyougopodcast.comThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
