	07 Apr 2023	Spiritual Bypass	00:53:45
In today's podcast, Gregory chats about spiritual bypass. What do we do when we touch down on a something largely distressing in our meditation practice, but we don't address it head on? Perhaps we tiptoe around it, like a sleeping dragon. Maybe we even deny that something needs to be worked on, or because it doesn't come up for a while, we believe we've healed it, only to find it was sleeping and awakens later. Spiritual bypass is a tricky and very common occurrence - tune in to today's episode where Gregory gives examples of what to look for, and how to address the sleeping dragons head-on.

	26 Jun 2021	6/23/21 - Am I making progress on the path?	00:31:59
This week we explore the challenging subject of judging our success as meditators. How do we really know that we are gaining wisdom? How can we be certain that we are not only heading in the right direction but are gaining the necessary skills to reach our spiritual goals? We explore how 'progress' works in the Dharma, what signs to look for as you mature in practice and what specific changes you can look for as markers of success.

	14 Jan 2023	1/11/23 - Going Against the Flow	00:48:50
What does freedom and intentionality have to do with your practice? In American culture, freedom is often defined by going with the flow – full spontaneity, no calendars, no rules, no goals. In Buddhism, going with the flow has a very different flavor. Perhaps one should consider going against the flow? From Gil Fronsdal’s essay, Skillful Ways to Evaluate Your Practice - “Our practice flourishes when we have intentionality.” Tune in to this week’s episode as Gregory chats intentionality and our concepts of freedom, and how that applies to your spiritual practice.

	17 Apr 2021	4/14/21 - Fabricating our Reality Part 2: Self-Creation Through Self-Talk	00:51:14
When the Buddha reflected on his awakening, he recalled the ability to use mindfulness to notice when his thinking was imbued with sensuality, ill-will, anger, hatred, and cruelty. Conversely, he was able to discern when his thoughts were imbued with the heart-mind qualities of letting go, good will and harmlessness. In this episode, we explore the positive and negative impacts of our inner dialogue and 3 meditation practices to decrease negative self-talk and increase loving self-reflection.
