Episode 50: GLORIOUS MYSTERIOUS EASTER - MEDITATION SPACE

MEDITATION SPACE

GLORIOUS MYSTERIOUS EASTER - MEDITATION SPACE Welcome to MEDITATION SPACE on the EUDAIMONIA connection podcast. Basically, religious people use prayer to establish a deeper connection with God. Meditation, on the other hand, does not involve a connection with a higher power. Rather, the goal is for you to form a connection with yourself. "Prayer and meditation are highly effective in lowering our reactivity to traumatic and negative events," says Dr. Paul Hokemeyer, a marriage, family and addictions therapist. "They are powerful because they focus our thoughts on something outside ourselves Such resurgence of life, bursts of energy, and banners of hope—are these not hints of the Resurrection? When Jesuit poet Gerard Manley Hopkins asks Christ to “Easter in us, be a dayspring to the dimness of us,” he captures this rooting of a lofty, hard-to-grasp doctrine in ordinary lives. The good news remains an unchanging, steady beacon, but the way we receive it is coloured by our own experience. We may join half-heartedly in songs and celebration because we’re worried about the rent increase; it’s altogether different to sing full-throated alleluias because the biopsy was benign. Enjoy this session.

Unlike our everyday concept of happiness, Eudaimonia is not a state of mind, nor is it simply the experience of joys and pleasures. Moreover, happiness is a subjective concept. ... Eudaimonia, in contrast, is meant as an objective standard of 'happiness,' based on what it means to live a human life well. When taken to the extreme, it can translate into the pursuit of pleasure and simply doing whatever you want that helps you attain this. Aristippus, for example, lived a life in pursuit of pleasure and did anything for the sake of sensual pleasure. With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we’re striving to do justice to our full human potential and to work in some small but key way towards the improvement of our species. Meditation is a practise that can really make your life better. A practise that changes and improves your life in ways you might not expect. So we need to do the right things and set up the right conditions if we’re going to change. Let yourself relax and let go. This podcast offers practice to funding stillness and hopefully Eudaimonia.
