I am not an opposed to the internet, social media, or artificialintelligence; far from it, they are the very engines of my daily life. These wonders of human ingenuity connect me to a global community, unlock infinite knowledge in seconds, and empower me to create work that was unimaginable justa few years ago. Yet, like fire, electricity, or the atom, these tools possess a dual nature: they are double-edged swords capable of either illuminating our future or consuming it. The difference between a world lit up by progress andone burned down by chaos lies entirely in how we wield the sword. Listen to this podcast and discover why the guardrails we build today will define the humanity of tomorrow.Find my paperback, kindle and audio books here – worldwide or India only

Your life isn't shaped by magic or fate, but by your daily habits. Every action is a seed you plant; repeat it enough, and it grows into an automatic behaviour. This is real karma: simple cause and effect. Since you built these patterns, you can change them. Stop watering the seeds of anger or dishonesty. Instead, use the AWARE method to pause, understand your motives, and choose a kinder response. You are the gardener of your mind. Start today by changing one small habit. Your future is built by the choices you make right now.If you would like to become a supporter of my work, such as podcasts, blogs, videos and guided meditation practices, please visit here .

Support others like the earth beneath your feet.Thirty short lines. No fancy words. Just honest advice that actually helps.Read it. Sit with it.

Did you know you can visit six different realms, and all before lunch. Not in some distant future life, but right now, in this one. One moment you are feeling on top of the world, and next, jealousy creeps in and you are competing with everyone around you. Then you slip into autopilot, numb and dull, before a wave of craving pulls you into restless hunger. A flash of anger lights you on fire, and suddenly you feel you are in hell. These are not just mythical realms. They are moods we face on a daily basis. Learn to recognise where you are, because awareness changes everything.Follow me on Instagram: yeshe_rabgye

Feeling stuck, stressed, or weighed down by life? In this podcast we explore an ancient Buddhist idea that sounds strange at first but can actually set you free. It’s called "emptiness." Don’t worry, this isn’t about nothingness or feeling empty inside. Think of it this way: nothing in life stands completely alone. Everything is connected. Everything flows. And once you really see that, something shifts. You stop gripping so tight. You judge less. You breathe easier. Whether you’re wrestling with stress, stuck in old patterns, or just tired of feeling boxed in by who you think you are, this simple shift can change how you see everything.Website - www.yesherabgye.comInstagram - yeshe_rabgye
