CleanMental Traps - What are They? - Rice and Peas for the Soul - By Shirvington Hannays | This month's podcast takes a look at Mental Traps. What are mental traps? Are you currently locked in a mental trap? The exploration of these States of Being or Modes of Thinking will be done using Andre Kukla's "Mental Traps - The Overthinker's Guide to a happier life." You can get a copy of this interesting book via www.randomhouse.ca. Each of us deal with Mental traps as a part of our every day life experience. Some of us can find ourselves trapped in one or more of these mental states of Being or Modes of thinking for periods that can be brief or prolonged, depending on our dependence on them to cope with our life situations. Regardless of their seeming effectiveness in helping us deal with our life issues...

CleanThe Change we call death; Rice and Peas for the Soul - By Shirvington Hannays | Around the end of January of 2001, I walked into a bookstore in downtown Toronto, Canada and stood in front of a bookshelf of books on Death as if lead by some force outside my rational mind. If you knew me at that time, that was out of my character. I tried not to use the word death and tried as hard as I could to not think about it, certainly never using the word in the same sentence with my name. Thanks to Elisabeth Kübler Ross, M.D., and her book “On Death and Dying” I was somewhat prepared me for May 6th later that year and certainly September 11th that same year. The book explores in plain and simple language a subject that to many is anything but plain and simple. It skillfully highlights the author's seminal "stages of dying" or "stages of grief" model which is still widely quoted. According to the Kübler-Ross mode, there are five stages that a dying person goes through when they are told that they have a terminal illness. The five stages go in progression through denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. This model has been widely adopted by other authors and applied to many other situations where someone suffers a loss or change in social identity. The model is often used in bereavement work. Not all workers in the field agree with th Kübler-Ross model, and some critics feel the stages are too rigid. Be cautioned that reading the book would not make you a superhuman or numb to the emotions or human reactions to the pains of death, as I found out four months after reading the book or on September 11th later that year. However since then I have had to deal with two more deaths of love ones. To which I can say I move from denial to acceptance very quickly. So in that that sense, yes, I can say I have truly grown to embrace death now more readily. However I am still ready to be open when it would be my time to confront my own death or that of another through the five stages, Ms. Kübler-Ross put forward. -- Shirvington Hannays (www.smahoo.com) | 30 4 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanResistance to the isness of what IS; Rice and Peas for the Soul - By Shirvington Hannays | Why do we suffer? What really is suffering? How can we view and embrace suffering differently? If we accept our so-called suffering aren’t we saying it is good? I have come to realize and accept that Buddhism definition and answer to human Universal suffering, to be practical. However, this does not mean that I now see myself as a Buddha in the full sense of its definition. Since I still daily find myself initially ready to respond in fear to many everyday situations and events. However I am humbled in the awareness not to judge my current state on this road less traveled as there is no final destination to arrive at but a CONSTANT state of BEING filled with alertness and awareness. Eight years ago, the leafless trees during fall and winter helped me come into an inter realization about this TRUTH. This then allows me to be more readily available to take FULL responsibility for EVERYTHING appearing in my life. Not as a victim of any situation or event but as an Empowered BEING of the Energy of what we call life who has the FREE WILL to CHOOSE how I will embrace this NOW and the VERY NEXT moment in the ETERNAL NOW moment in time. As you listen to the podcast or watch the video, please don’t try to have your mind make sense of it, for as a master once said "things of the spirit can only be discerned spiritually". Which is usually when the truth of a message connects invisibly with the TRUTH of your inner BEING, where all truths lie waiting for the second coming of your realization of your Christ-like divinity. At which point the words ALWAYS becomes flesh and you have what some call an Aha! moment. I call it “I die minutely for the inner resurrection of the Christ in me”, some call it the second coming.- - Shirvington Hannays (www.smahoo.com) | 29 3 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanYou and the Energy of Money; Rice and Peas for the Soul - By Shirvington Hannays | In light of the current global economic situation, this month podcast is shared from a point of empowerment for all those who would like to embrace the current situation without fear. Which ironically was created by most of us and could be said to have been activated mostly unconsciously because of our dis-regards for the invisible realm or part of our Being as Human Beings. I share an article that I received because I am a subscriber of a popular podcast that is produced by Karen Luniw, whose tips on the Law of attraction in the form of a podcast which can be found on Itunes or via her website at www.thelawofattractiontips.com. I connected with this article on many levels, especially the section that speaks to working on your feelings in regards to the energy of money. I know this to be true for myself and therefore wish for anyone who would like to change their relationship with money to ponder this consistently for a while. In the fullness of time I know there will be an inner realization that will transfer your state of Being in relation to the energy of money. | 28 2 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanYou too can become a Buddha; Rice and Peas for the Soul - Shirivington Hannays | I have come to realize there is no final destination to arrive at when you consciously choose to embark on the road less traveled. However there is a state of mind and Being that can be realized and maintained in the constant changing Now moment. Enlightenment is available to everyone. Therefore anyone with a desire to be in oneness with the present moment regardless of what might be appearing in the now moment as a person, situation, event or experience. Buddhism with it's practical approach to living and co-existing with everything in the Universal lends itself...

CleanBefore you pray, Become; Rice and Peas for the Soul - By Shirvington Hannays | I have discovered and come to realize that effective prayer requires a State of Mind and Being filled with the PEACE that passeth Human understanding. This is what I now understand and know to be "be still and know...." and it is truly “the Peace that passeth Human understanding...” My quest for a better understanding of what life was all about started when as I child, I felt that my entire family and I, were all going to hell because God didn’t like us. This conclusion at that time was arrived at because it was clear he didn’t answer any of our many prayers we offered to him daily on our knees, eyes closed and face upward to heaven. Praying and the need to pray was drilled into my head daily to be done before I did most things...

CleanChoices and Consequences; Rice and Peas for the Soul - By Shirvington Hannays | Life is a CONSTANT series of CHOICES and CONSEQUENCES. Viewed from a very practical and basic element of our human experience - this fact is in constant motion minutely with our breathing process. We make a choice to inhale and exhale. If you don't believe me, choose not to inhale or exhale with your very next breath and experience the consequent. The United States of America has elected a new President on 11-04-2008. History will show that it was his CHOICE to embrace all of who he is without seeing himself as a victim of his heritage that resulted in the CONSEQUENT of the elections historic results. It is now up to those who prayed for a moment like this, to embrace it and do something with it INDIVIDUALLY. Since in the fullness of WHAT is REAL, SPIRITUALLY, "this too shall soon pass." - Shirvington Hannays (www.smahoo.com) | 26 11 08 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanMental Slavery; Rice and Peas for the Soul - By Shirvington Hannays | If consciously explored, many may discover that a large part of their Belief system is based on theories that were arrived at based on very limited evidences and assumptions. For example, there are many, whom still hold the belief, that NIGHT and DAY were created, even in light of evidences which show that day and night are the effects of the earth spinning on its axis. It is the roundness of the earth that results in the events we label Day and Night. To revisit this belief would REQUIRE that other beliefs central to this belief be revisited. It goes without saying that any revisiting will shake the foundation of what is put forward in direct support of some creation stories or even the flood that destroyed everything except for an ARK. - Shirvington Hannays (www.smahoo.com) | 10 11 08 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanThe road less Traveled; Rice and Peas for the Soul - By Shirvington Hannays | The road less Traveled. -- SMAHO Being Human means being willing to daily face all of Life's experiences, knowing that you will continue to experience pain, hurt and emotional bruises in many different ways for as long as you are in this physical universe. Especially emotional bruises even after you have consciously or unconsciously CHOSEN to take the road less traveled to live your life. It is usually in these times that you will be called on to BE still and know that the peace that passes all human understanding is readily available to get you to YOUR next fullness in time, in the NOW. - Shirvington Hannays (www.smahoo.com) | 10 10 08 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanThis too Shall soon Pass; Rice and Peas for the Soul - By Shirvington Hannays | "This too shall soon pass" - the same image on either sides of the same coin. When in the mist of a judged or labeled "bad, difficult, painful or challenging situation or experience", the phase "this too shall soon pass" can be one of the most comforting re-assurances you can receive, reflect on or embrace. Especially if you allow yourself to acknowledge that, the statement has proven true countless times before. In reality, this statement is also true for those situations or periods in our lives that we may judge or label "good, easy going, painless, peaceful or without challenge." I know this for sure because I am daily given the opportunity like every other Human being to choose states of depression, resentment, anger and/or the blame game when seemingly good and pleasant experiences fade away and "soon pass". - Shirvington Hannays (www.smahoo.com) | 7 10 08 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanThe Spirit; Rice and Peas for the Soul - By Shirvington Hannays | As a child, teenager and young adult in Guyana, Barbados and then Jamaica; the word spirit or its most popular used form “spirits” meant mainly an invisible evil (negative) force or presence that was always waiting to overcome any form of good that might exist. A presence and force that I lived in fear of until my mid twenties. Armed with my resentment for my fear of “Spirits” I set out to investigate my deep belief about "spirit" or "spirits" and confronted some of my fears; of which the Devil was high on my list. Without going into details, I can safely say I no longer live in fear of “the devil” or “spirits” of people who are dead or as I now say “made their transition out of this physical world”. - Shirvington Hannays (www.smahoo.com) | 7 9 08 | Free | View In iTunes |
