14- Eco Flow with Dr. Charles Cabell: On Yonaoshi: Remaking the World & Creating Alternative Communities
<p>“What we really need now is a stronger network of activist groups and communities which are beginning to make radical transitions that we need, and I hope that Yonaoshi will be part of that coalition to bring people together in creating these network, which will serve as good medicine against this sense of powerlessness.” ~ Dr. Charles Cabell <br> <br> <strong>Dr. Charles Cabell </strong>is an associate professor of Global and Regional Studies at Toyo University. He holds a P.h.D in Modern Japanese Literature from the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilization at Harvard University and his interests include cultural studies, Japanese literature, and educational practice and theory. Currently the acting president of the International Association for Japan Studies (IAJS), Charles has been involved in pioneering “<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1930491910577637/">Yonaoshi- Why not Remake the World</a>”, a new form of academic conference called that combines participant-centered, creatively interactive learning events with entertainment in order to bring together students, activists, scholars, and concerned laypeople to actively engage in issues connected with equity and social justice in the context of the ecological and climate crisis. </p> <p>In this conversation, we discussed many topics ranging from his background story, ikigai and connection with Japan; his thoughts on our environment, education and possible solutions in "remaking the world". Charles is a professor who truly cares for his students and does everything he can to help them grow and contribute in this world. I miss taking his classes back I was an undergraduate student in Japan. It's fun to reconnect here and we're also planning to record another episode focusing on discussing and analyzing literature. Let me know if you enjoy this conversation as I did! Show-notes available at sherabjin.com </p>

13- Guided Loving Kindness Meditation with Sherab Jin (30min)
<p>This is a half an hour long guided meditation on the cultivation of loving kindness (also known as metta meditation). Loving kindness meditation is something that I've been practicing for the past decade and has helped me to maintain my personal wellbeing amidst turbulence and setbacks. When overwhelmed by negative emotions or feeling insecure, one can resort to loving kindness meditation to cultivate inner peace. Moreover, I feel that it is much accessible to beginners than other forms of meditation such as breath or insight meditation, which you can later delve into as you progress in this meditation. Before doing this meditation, I also recommend checking out my 10-min introduction to loving kindness meditation in the previous episode. <br> </p> <p>Jin Young Lim (Sherab Jin) Bio: </p> <p>Host of Eco Flow Podcast. Schwarzman Scholar 22'. Born in Southeast Asia as an overseas Chinese, Jin grew up learning about spirituality, meditation, and traditional Chinese Martial Arts, especially in Shaolin and Tai Chi. During his undergrad at Waseda University and Peking University, he began delving deeper into Yoga and Aikido, later on receiving his yoga teacher certification at Vikasa and Universal Yoga. He sees mindfulness, art, yoga and martial arts as related to one another and integrates them into his daily practice. Deriving his learning experiences from different countries, Jin wants to build a holistic academy that caters to both local communities and foreign visitors. </p> <p>If you enjoy this meditation, please share it with anyone whom you think might find it helpful, especially during this troubled times.
