  • How much longer ...

    ... do we have to wait for the promised sequel to your to-date-lone novel???

    Frankly I blame Martha for he-who-I-won't-name-here ... life imitating art & all that magic ... & therefore for the ensuing state of the world ...

    Perhaps we're ready for the next instalment ...

    Or maybe just an incantatory reprise of the denouement of the last one ...

    Just a thought 😏

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

In Joy Ment
Q: How do you stop the voice of fear and anxiety when you're in joy?
Acknowledge the negativity bias with humor, train your attention away from doom by returning to present-moment enjoyment, and practice repeated, small acts of pleasure to rewire your brain.
In Joy Ment
Q: What is the difference between joy and serenity, and how do they relate to aging and peace?
Joy spans range from excitement to calm, and serenity deepens with age; both are components of a broader spectrum of peaceful, mindful living that can be cultivated together.
In Joy Ment
Q: Question, how can you get yourself back to a place of joy?
Focus on shrinking attention to the present moment, practice tasting or observing small sensory experiences, and use a structured mindfulness approach—then let small joys accumulate into a larger sense of wellbeing.
How to Find the Flow
Q: What practical tips help someone with ADHD or autism stay engaged in meditation?
Keep moving and use stims that help regulate you; start with low-friction, rhythmic activities like rocking, walking, or rowing, and then slowly cultivate a looser, more fluid posture toward stillness.
Regrets? Then change your past!
Q: Is there a tipping point in shifting perceptions or perspectives, and what helps us reach it?
The tipping point resembles an enlightenment threshold: continuous spiritual ripening until growth becomes irreversible, followed by a decisive shift that can't be undone, similar to a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly.
