Welcome, dear listeners, to a brand new episode of the Mahakatha Meditation Mantras podcast! On this episode, we have a special episode lined up for you as we explore the enchanting world of the Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo Mantra. But before we dive into this transformative chant, take a moment and connect with your body. Place your right palm on your belly, feeling the gentle rhythm of your breath, allowing yourself to be fully present in this moment.

Our bodies hold immense wisdom and power, often overlooked in our quest to master the mind. Just as our eyes instinctively scrunch up in the sunlight and our fingers instinctively retreat from a flame, our body knows how to provide stability and presence to our being. In times of emotional overwhelm, stress, or confusion, turning to our body for strength and clarity can be a profound source of support.

One of the most grounding practices we can engage in is the art of belly breathing. By focusing our attention on the rise and fall of our belly as we breathe in and out, we instantly tap into a sense of calm and stillness. Observing the subtle movements of our body during this practice can help us quiet the storm brewing in our minds, allowing us to find stability amidst chaos.

And what better way to enhance this experience than by combining it with the soothing vibrations of the Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo Mantra? This ancient Buddhist chant holds within it the power to transform and uplift. It can be chanted slowly or at an intensified pace, depending on your preference and intention. As you immerse yourself in the sacred sounds of this mantra and synchronize it with your belly breathing, you will notice how your ability to surrender to the present moment deepens, while any emotional overwhelm lightens.

To fully embrace this journey of self-discovery and inner transformation, we invite you to try the Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo Mantra for yourself. As a special gift to our podcast listeners, we are offering a 30% discount on this mantra. Simply use the code mentioned in the episode description and immerse yourself in the practice of meditation and belly breathing for a few minutes each day.

Join us in the comments section of the podcast episode, and share your experiences and insights as you explore this transformative mantra and the power of belly breathing. We can't wait to hear from you!

So, sit back, close your eyes if possible, and allow the calming energy of the Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo Mantra to envelop you. Tune in to the subtle movements of your belly as you breathe. Let your body be your guide and source of strength. Remember, dear listeners, the key to finding peace and clarity lies within. Stay blessed, and until next time, keep breathing and stay present. Namaste.

 A new investigation has revealed that a biofuel company called System Ecologica scammed the International Sustainability Carbon Certification, petrol companies, and EU governments, in a biofuel fraud case totalling tens of millions of euros. Regulators are increasingly worried that other companies may similarly be passing off unsustainable, imported vegetable oil as used cooking oil (UCO). This would have severe implications for emissions, deforestation, and the viability of a key EU climate initiative.

The findings were reported by Eli Moskowitz from the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and Mira Sys from Follow the Money, along with Mubarek Asani from the Bosnian Center for Investigative Reporting. Bertie caught up with Eli and Mira to get the full story.

Muy pocas personas podían imaginarse cómo sería una computadora de mano, o lo que haría. Pero un trío de visionarios se anticipó y supo a dónde se dirigía la computación. Sin embargo, para lograr el éxito en este nuevo mundo, tendrían que diseñar todo desde el principio, sin aplicar los conocimientos convencionales sobre el hardware. Su creación, la PalmPilot, rompió los récords de ventas, le mostró al mundo todo lo que era posible y les enseñó a las personas que el valor de la tecnología estaba dando un giro, una vez más. Pero cuando estalló la burbuja tecnológica y los nuevos competidores ingresaron al mercado, el control de Palm sobre la industria de las computadoras de mano comenzó a desvanecerse.

Palm Springs is a 2020 romantic comedy directed by Max Barbakow…

This is the story of Nyles, played by Andy Samberg, we meet Nyles and his girlfriend Misty played by Meredith Hagner at a WEDDING, in Palm Springs.

It’s the wedding of Tala (Camilla Mendes) and Abe (Tyler Hoechlin).

We quickly learn that Nyles is maybe depressed, a little apathetic about life, and moreover, the common theme for NYLES, is that every day is exactly like the last day, and tomorrow, will be exactly like today… and we go through the day, AND NIGHT, of this wedding through the point of view OF Nyles.. And ultimately we realize that for NYLES, that concept… is the truth, the date is November 9th 2019 and Nyles is STUCK in a TIMELOOP, nobody else remembers that the day has repeated, JUST NYLES, who is stuck, in Palm Springs retracing the steps of this wedding every day…

Until someone joins him… sister of the bride Sarah Wilder, played by Christin Milioti…

There is much to remember as we approach Easter. Jesus came into the city as a hero King. Later that same week, He is given a false trial, tortured, and crucified. The victory of Jesus is still the reason we cry out today, "He is risen!"
