030 - 7 Step Guide to How to believe in yourself, overcome self-doubt and achieve your goals, by Carmen Parks

September 12, 2015 18:42 - 17 minutes - 16.5 MB

Let’s say you see yourself as 3 on the scale from 1 to 10 in whatever you want to pursue, and you want to become 9 or 10. It will take some effort to get there, some investment of time and money, it will take some education and practice. It will take level 9 or 10 investment in yourself. However if you see yourself as 3, you will never invest that much in yourself. It will look like too much of an investment to you just because of your belief level.      No we get a vicious circle. Raisin...

029 - 4 Powerful Life Changing secrets I learned from a Doll

August 19, 2015 09:23 - 10 minutes - 9.48 MB

Today I’d like to have a very serious talk about… a toy. Yes, very serious toy. Most of people I am sure have seen it. You can google it under the name Roly-Poly Doll or Roly-Poly Toy, or under Tumbler Doll. In Russian it is very well know under the name Nevolyashka or Vanka-Vstanka. There are similar dolls in other countries. They look different, but they all have a similar feature: no matter how many times you knock them down, no matter how you throw them on the floor, they always get up.

So at the same time when Anusara was becoming popular, I already pretty much found my style, and by ...

025 - Walking in the Rain: How to Deal with Stressful Environment One Step at a Time

June 16, 2015 18:11 - 21 minutes - 19.4 MB

In my previous episode I gave an analogy of a rain, meaning the rain of circumstances that keeps pouring on us non stop. We finished last time with the thought that sometimes we just have to bite the bullet and go through the rain, one step at the time. I will use the same analogy of the rain, and if you did not listen to the previous episode, I may suggest you do that so I will hopefully make more sense today.    Let’s start with several points regarding the mindset of going through the r...

December 16, 2014 20:40 - 18 minutes - 16.8 MB

#22 - Where the Stress Comes From? What causes Stress in our life?

November 20, 2014 07:06 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MB

The very first step in getting rid of stress in our life is to recognize where it comes from. Like any physical stress, emotional stress is caused by minimum two forces.

#19 – Dedication to training – What We Do vs. How We Live

June 15, 2014 16:23 - 17 minutes - 15.6 MB

There's a joke. Question: How many psychologists does it take to change the light bulb? Answer is: Just one. But the light bulb has to really want to change.   Indeed, change comes from inside. I was not a morning person either. But it changed overnight when I got a dream. I did not question what motivated me to get up in the morning. I was looking forward to training, and getting up in the morning was the way to do it. I did not have to push myself to get up, well, most of the time. I w...

#18 – Staying Consistent on the Path – About Passion to Learn and Practice

March 30, 2014 06:20 - 29 minutes - 26.7 MB

The question about staying on the Path came up in my mind quite a few times. I have been trying to find out what motivated me. Why did I start training all of a sudden? Why did I choose Martial Arts over any sports? Why have I been staying with my training for 30 years, and I still did not lose my interest? Why did I choose shakuhachi flute, one of the most difficult instruments in the World, and I have been studying it and practicing daily for over 10 years? I was talking about all the thin...

#17 – My Holistic Transformation – First Steps in an Thousand miles Journey

March 04, 2014 06:20 - 19 minutes - 17.4 MB

Today I’d like to talk about first steps I took on my Path to changing myself. Being an outcast is one thing. Getting out of it requires some steady efforts. But I think the most important is the very first step. What makes it so difficult?   First, Overcoming inertia? Yes. That very first effort to make the initial move can be extremely difficult. I think it came easy for me because the discomfort from being me was much greater than discomfort from changing. It was time to do it. I did no...

#16 – Path into the Oriental Garden – Listen to the Music Set in Stone

February 23, 2014 23:55 - 16 minutes - 15.4 MB

...So, what is Japanese garden? First of all, it is quite a generic name. There's no single design. There are many different types of garden. Some of them are designed for nice slow meditative walk. And they are called stroll garden. They do require pretty large space. They usually have a pond or even a small lake as one of the elements.   Listen to the Podcast to know more.. Download

#15 – Music of my Tea – How Tea Way became the Way of my Holistic Life

February 06, 2014 06:09 - 18 minutes - 17.2 MB

Tea drinking in my Path   I'd like to talk about Tea and tea ceremony, and about how I personally got into tea and what it means to me. I often look at my life as a jigsaw puzzle, and Tea became one of the valuable pieces. It felt like there was a very specific place in my life for tea, and nothing else could replace it.   Tea has been part of my daily routine for as long as I remember myself. I grew up drinking tea. I grew up in Soviet Union. Our neighbors from the South were China, Mon...

#14 – Maximize Your Learning and Practicing as a Way of Balanced Life

January 28, 2014 06:18 - 16 minutes - 15.4 MB

Today I'd like to answer a question I've been asked many times. The question is: where do I get time to practice everything I do? Indeed, autogenic training, yoga, meditation, martial arts, Chi Kung, reflexology, tea ceremony, gardening, music, and so on. This is quite a list of activities, especially since I was going full time to medical university and learning English on my own. Yes, I did. I also learned shorthand in the meantime, which helped me a lot to write down all my lectures word ...

#13 – Healing Vibrations – How various sounds can be used for meditation

January 13, 2014 00:00 - 17 minutes - 16.5 MB

Last year we started discussing meditation as a tool, and in the previous episode we were talking about Music meditation with shakuhachi flute, which is an ancient Zen tradition called Suizen. I mentioned some benefits of using shakuhachi flute for meditation, and one of them was vibrations. Sound is vibrations. Today I'd like to talk about various types of vibrations used in different types of meditation. This is not a comprehensive tutorial by any means, just  a quick overview of what I ha...

#12 – Suizen – Ancient Flute Music Meditation with Shakuhachi Bamboo Flute

December 17, 2013 02:50 - 17 minutes - 16.2 MB

... Shakuhachi is a vertical bamboo flute. According to what I know, it came to Japan from China with Chan or Zen Buddhism. Shakuhachi tradition is connected to monk Puhua, known in Japan as Fuke. Fuke was walking all over the place preaching Zen, and he had a hand bell he carried with him. Fuke did not play flute, he was just ringing the bell. However, one of his disciples cut a piece of bamboo and started making sound blowing it like an end blown flute.  The instrument did not have holes y...

#11 - Introduction to Meditation – What this so popular practice really is

November 16, 2013 19:28 - 17 minutes - 16 MB

Today I'd like to discuss one of the most popular practices, and that is Meditation. Indeed, everywhere we go, we hear the word meditation. Yoga and meditation, sitting meditation, walking meditation, just meditation, or whatever meditation that could be. Meditation became a generic term to describe the whole variety of practices that came from different religions and philosophies.      Therefore, to say "I am practicing meditation" is like saying "I am into fitness" without specifying wh...

#10 - Softness in Martial Arts and Every Day Life – Path of the Water Part 2

October 13, 2013 06:18 - 12 minutes - 11.7 MB

Last time we started talking about the Path of the Water, about how soft but strong the water is. Today I'd like to talk more about this in a context of martial art application. First of all, lets define Martial Arts. I am not talking about any specific style now. What is Martial Art in general? It is often seen by many as set of hand-to-hand combat techniques designed to allow one person to defeat another person in a competition. It can be done in a form of wrestling, boxing, various styl...

#9 - The Path of the Water – Soft, Flexible, Persistent and Very Strong

September 02, 2013 18:57 - 11 minutes - 10.3 MB

Today I'd like to talk about the Path of the Water. I mentioned the path of the least resistance a couple of times in my previous podcasts. How to determine where is the line separating justifiable resistance from excessive force?   I often hear people talking about "being like water" in the context of complete non resistance. But is it really so? If water was such a non-resistant substance than tsunami would not present any danger to people, and it would not cause any devastation like it ...

#8 – Traditions and Habits: Compromise or Sacrifice? What can we justify?

August 04, 2013 21:18 - 12 minutes - 11.1 MB

Why are we doing things the way we are doing? Who created traditions? Should we change the rules or should we adjust? This is a beginning of a long discussion..  Download  

#7 – How can we define Right and Wrong? Or can we really?

July 17, 2013 08:59 - 8 minutes - 7.89 MB

  Today I'd like to briefly talk  about definitions of right and wrong. But before we begin, let me say a disclaimer.     First, I won't even try to fit  -- in a short podcast -- the topic which has been a source for major arguments and discussions since the beginning of mankind. Second, I will only try to briefly describe what I studied and what I believe in. Finally, Tao is something that cannot be expressed in words. Everything I say is just a reflection, a snap shot of my thoughts at...

#6 – The Middle Path – The Wind Rider is Watching the Middle

July 06, 2013 23:56 - 13 minutes - 12.5 MB

Shao Dao is not just a regular Martial Art School. Instead, it is a whole philosophy in its own right. I will not even try to describe Dao in a short podcast. I will not try to describe Dao period. Everything I say is just like a snapshot of my perception of the World at the moment I said that. And the very next second it may change and turn into its opposite like Yin turns into Yan or Yan into Yin. So there is no Status Quo in life. Everything is changing constantly. There is nothing perman...

#5 – Martial Arts Lifestyle – Path of Warrior – Next Step in my Holistic Lifestyle

June 09, 2013 04:58 - 12 minutes - 11.5 MB

What I cannot completely understand, is whether my holistic lifestyle was a result of my training, or was I brought into this World already destined to take the path of martial arts? Almost sounds like chicken and the egg dilemma. It can make a good topic for nice philosophical discussion. But we are not getting into it right now. I just have no other explanation for my spontaneous, absolutely no common sense decision as a young teenager, other than believing in destiny.   Download Ancien...

#4 – My Path, my life, my Yoga Lifestyle
