Paul Zolman is the international bestselling author of the Role of Love, but the true author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies me to speak about love? My childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside me, I searched for and eventually created a method that transformed my life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became my preferred love style, only because of the regularity. I could almost count on it. It was consistent. I came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, I knew that was a twisted belief. I wanted a better life for myself, which is why I created a paradigm shift that works. In this book, you’ll find what helped me move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role

Martin is “a man on the mend”, a recovered alcoholic with a debauched and materially-immersed past life of spilt milk under burnt bridges. Moments from suicide, his Beagle talked him out of it. This rock-bottom moment launched a phenomenal journey of self healing and personal transformation. "If you told me I had five minutes left to live, I'd spend that time basking in gratitude for the incredible gift of life. I want others to have that choice too.” - Martin O’Toole Through his experiences of the “pointless pursuance of success”, Martin uncovered the alchemy of everlasting happiness. Understanding the depths of depression and contrasting heights of delight, his compulsion to share his story has resulted in a podcast and brand new book, How To Die Happy.

Today I share some ideas about how, or if, to engage with errant thoughts. Most people believe that the goal of meditation is to free the mind of all its myriad creations. However, the goal of meditation is to train the mind to have one thought exclusively, thus silencing the others. Appropriately enough, our discussion today will focus on what to do with random thought, in our sessions and our waking lives.   Meditation Coaching Schedule Time with Thom (Complimentary consultation)   Become a Super-Fan of the Show Support ZEN commuter and get access to patron bonuses THANKS FOR LISTENING!

Meditation isn’t one of those things that you have to master. In fact, the very nature of a practice is that understanding; that you never will be perfect, and you shouldn’t try. However, there are things to make your sessions more impactful, like posture. Today i discuss proper posture for meditating when sitting in a chair.

We know all too well how difficult life can be when we are under stress. Professor Pete Alexander certainly does. After working the majority of his life in a variety of high pressure jobs, Pete found himself stricken with stress related diabetes, specifically diabetic ketoacidosis. In fact he was hours away from slipping into a coma. That’s when he decided that his health had to come first.

On day two of Tricycle week I read a great article that talks about how even the thought of embarking on enlightenment creates a challenge. The intention of seeking a spiritual path is the very thing that keeps us from experiencing it. The notion that there is and isn’t a spiritual path reinforces duality that keeps us from experiencing anything but separation.
