AFL Grand Final edition

What is the true nature of the shadow? And how can we make it an asset rather than our adversary?

"You either love 'em or hate 'em!" So it goes with Collingwood. Tune-in and find out why

Allure: Tempt, Entice; Fascinate or Charm...

Let's dive into the magic of Mary Oliver and her poem, I Wake Close to Morning

"...apply defensive pressure with full effort and the footy Gods will reward you with the ball in your hands"

A ten minute hit on the possibilities that present themselves, often at the hardest of times

Carl Jung said of his Red Book period, it was the most important time of his life. Take a listen as I discuss the inner images which burst forth from his unconscious and threatened to break him but ultimately made him the Carl Jung we know of today.

A ten minute insight to how I coach footballers on decision-making and how the rest of us can potentially apply this method to counteract the fear & timidity that weakens our resolve when faced with making a decision.

Yep, it's been a while. And here at BEST MIND we are stoked to be back with an all new edition of The Action Field. In todays episode we bid farewell to our weekly wisdom newsletter, The 1%er Series. We racked up 100 (plus three) editions of our newsletter in just under two years and today we revisit a few of my favourites from over the journey. We aim to keep The Action Field short and sweet henceforth so saddle up for 25 minutes of poetry, wisdom and a few short stories of my own as we say goodbye to The 1%er Series. bestmind.com.au. X

Welcome to Season 2 of The Action Field. Let's set it right off and bring a little bit of love into what will hopefully soon be a post-pandemic 2022. We hear first from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and expand on the following: "The fortunate one uses the instrument of deep meditation, and probes deep into his heart. Then the waves of love gain the depth of the ocean, and the ocean of love fills the heart and thrills every particle of being." The great Carl Jung is the focus of segment two: "In my medical experience as well as in my own life I have again and again been faced with the mystery of love and have never been able to explain what it is." Tune in and hear how damn fine a job he does of explaining the range of such a mystery. We wrap it up with Joseph Campbell and his insight to the birth of romantic love in the West circa twelfth century Provence, France: "The troubadours were very much interested in the psychology of love. And they're the first ones in the West who really thought of love the way we do now - as a person-to-person relationship." Donnie Darko also makes a cameo with a quick scene exploring the inadequacy of 'love' when it come to explaining righteous motivation for action. A couple of tunes from Melbourne-based producer Super Cool set the mood as we go deep into love for an hour of goodness. BEST MIND
