*** New podcast release! Listen by subscribing to Insight Myanmar wherever you get your podcasts, or else listen right from our website *** In Myanmar, of course the coup has been an on-going nightmare since February, and more recently there has been a sharp, Delta-driven Covid spike that the military leadership not only can’t control, but seems driven to exacerbate. People there have started referring to the double crises as “Coupvid”, a term which accurately reflects the obstacles the Burmese people face in just being able to survive day-to-day in these challenging times. In this episode, our three guests discuss what daily life has been like during Coupvid, the possible long-term impacts of this trauma on the population, and what we can do from our own places of safety to show solidarity and support. Alyson and Sandra are medical students living in the US. They are Chinese-Burmese members of the Myanmar diaspora, experiencing Coupvid from two directions: worried about family still in Myanmar and as workers in the medical community. Both young women have been advocating on behalf of striking healthcare workers in Myanmar since February, supporting fundraisers to get critical supplies, and expressing solidarity when the Tatmadaw started targeting and arresting healthcare workers. “Michaela”, using an alias for extra security, is currently living in Yangon. She and her roommate contracted COVID-19 in July, shortly after friends notified them that they had tested positive. Michaela shares her personal story of surviving COVID-19 and nursing her roommate back to health at the same time, as well as the fear and uncertainty that she and many others face when making decisions with limited information, and no access to healthcare. Note that on this episode, we hear a poem reading of Bloom, a submission from a Buddhist monk in response to the coup. Please take a moment to read this powerful prose in the English version, as well as in Burmese. As with all our interviews in this post-coup period, we hope the compelling stories of today’s guests will help motivate listeners to offer some kind of support, in whatever form, to the desperate people of Myanmar!
Part 1: COVID in Myanmar: A Meditation on Death A Burmese meditator has written the following reflection and given permission for it be shared publicly. As Better Burma was able to provide his family oxygen in the end, please consider continuing to support our work so that we may save more and more lives. “It's a long time I've been remote from Facebook and out of touch to learn about the world and my country's affairs since we caught illnesses. I just looked through 'Insight Myanmar' page and read some articles, listened to some podcasts. I'm just writing to share know my thoughts about what have been happening within my mind these days and somewhat that my family encountered and found out over the period of Kāyika Dhukkha (bodily sufferings). When my wife and I were first touched, we got distressed and depressed quite often. Our thoughts were running away and we were so emotional. We often lost our emotions and easily shed tears whatever someone talked to us, or whatever we talked, and whenever we spoke about something. I especially felt depressed. This was because we had no medical consultants at that time (couldn't think of and find any medical doctor to consult with), we couldn't buy sufficient supplements and vitamins as required, we even didn't know what medicine we should take, and the worst was to know about the scarce oxygen (both cylinders and gas). Every items of medicine got more expensive than previous and ever. The prices of oxygen cylinders got increased and it was scarce to find or get a cylinder even when we decided to buy one at last. We even didn't know where to get a cylinder and fill it with gas after running out. (Here, thanks to my eldest brother who lives in Monywa and who has been away from home, and his friends who carried a cylinder and searched medicine around the city for my father.) Especially, when I was sick, I couldn't get even a single cylinder when I was hard of breathing. One morning that I was having breath problem, a call from my niece rang my phone nearby and my mom picked it up to answer.

Insight Myanmar Podcast was so honored to be featured as a lead story in the June 25th edition of Mizzima News, a Burmese multimedia news organization founded by Burmese journalists in exile, and regularly honored by the International Press Institute, among others. The article reported on the "COVID-19 in Myanmar: Monastic Edition" episode that we aired regarding how foreign monks had responded as the pandemic swept the country. This show might have been the most impactful yet in the series. There is something special about the words of committed bhikkhus. Leaving behind the fetters of lay society in order to devote themselves to the contemplative life, monastics are often able to present a novel or fresh outlook on the “daily grind” that may be invisible to us lay folk, when we can’t see the forest for the trees. Mired as many of us are in our lay entanglements—the need to care for family members, look after our homes, and secure an income—the freedom that monastics have from these day-to-day necessities permits them a broader perspective through which to understand the present situation. Listen to the full episode here: https://insightmyanmar.org/complete-shows/2020/6/16/episode-12-covid-19-in-myanmar-monastic-edition #quarantinemeditations #quarantinemeditate #quarantines #lockdownmeditations #lockdownmeditation #lockdown2020 #lockdownlife #lockdown2 #lockdown3 #lockdown4 #lockdownart #lockdownsessions #lockdownchallenge #lockdownmyanmar #lockdownmindchallenge #lockdownmindfulness #quarantinemindfulness #quarantinemindset #quarantinemind #pandemic #pandemicmeditation #pandemicmindfulness #pandemicmeditations #globalpandemic #pandemicmeditate #coronavirusmeditations #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidmask

Even in time of pandemic, Burmese generosity never ceases. Here, Bhikkhu Nanavamsa oversees a donation event at a local monastery. His reflections are simply: "Dana merit we do today while the moment of between two daytime sitting meditation.နေ့ခင်းပိုင်းတရားထိုင်ခဏနားတုန်းဒါန နည်းနည်းဆည်းပူး။" #quarantinepost #quarantinetimes #quarantinemeditation #lockdown #quarantineandmeditate #quarantinemeditations #quarantinemeditate #quarantines #lockdownmeditations #lockdownmeditation #lockdown2020 #lockdownlife #lockdown2 #lockdown3 #lockdown4 #lockdownart #lockdownsessions #lockdownchallenge #lockdownmyanmar #lockdownmindchallenge #lockdownmindfulness #quarantinemindfulness #quarantinemindset #quarantinemind #pandemic #pandemicmeditation #pandemicmindfulness #pandemicmeditations #globalpandemic #pandemicmeditate

Spending an extended amount of time in isolation can be stressful, especially for children and the elderly. Keep your mental health in a good place with these tips to de-stress during quarantine. If you have any more strategies to cope with stress, share them in the comments below.
Finley and I are missing our @runyoncanyon hikes but we are finding alternatives. The heat encourages us to get up a little earlier and take advantage of the early morning coolness since he’s much closer to the ground than I, and heat exhaustion can come on quickly. 🐾 🌞 If I didn’t have the ability or option to be outside I fear I’d go slightly mad. Am grateful that I can and do (staying masked, keeping double distance, and protecting others) 🌞 What are you doing for peace of mind/body/spirit? . . . . . #quarantinemindfulness #mindfulmoments #natureinspired #outdoorworkout #keepitmoving #adventurebuddy #mentalwellness #mindbodyconnection #momentbymoment #natureheals
Seems like a simple yard scene, nothing too fancy. This space has become one of the most important spaces in my home during quarantine. This is the outdoor site of our Peace Table. The Peace Table is valued tool in mindful classrooms and intentional homes for decades. I didn’t invent it. I just rely on it heavily to settle disputes, reinforce family connection, practice meditation so the kids can see as they play in the yard, SO MANY uses. This simple little mismatched space provides great support. Make your Peace Table and share it with us. #peacetable #mindfulparentingmoments #mindfulparenting #mindfulmom #quarantinemindfulness #conflictresolutiontraining #createconnectioneveryday
How is the coronavirus pandemic impacting monastics in Myanmar? This is precisely the question we set out to answer in this very special “Monastic Edition” of our COVID-19 in Myanmar series. The guests include: • U Viveka, a Canadian monk studying under Sayadaw U Tejaniya, who is using the pandemic as an opportunity to examine his fear of death. • Ashin Sarana, a Czech monk who was teaching in the US when the pandemic hit, and returned to undergo a mandatory (and then self-imposed) period of quarantine at a Burmese monastery. • Pabhassaro Bhikkhu, a Polish monk who found his ideal monastery just north of Yangon—only to be told he had to leave the country for visa reasons, but realizing this instability and unreliability is a core teaching of the Buddha. • Ashin Dhammosadha, a German monk who finished his studies at Yangon’s Buddhist University before staying at Mahasi monastery, and who eventually found his way to a small monastery north of Yangon to begin an extended self-meditation retreat. • Bhante Mokkhita, a German monk who runs the Muditā Foundation, supporting poor local families impacted by a loss of income due to the pandemic, and who reflects on the different ways that Westerners and Burmese approach the inevitability of death. As part of this new series, in upcoming episodes we will explore how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting Burmese monastic society, and how it is impacting meditators around the world, and pushing meditation teachers to respond in new and innovative ways to the crisis as it unfolds. In this time of uncertainty and insecurity, we hope the voices that follow provide information and insight, and help awaken the seeds of wisdom within you. #quarantinemeditations #quarantinemeditate #quarantines #lockdownmeditations #lockdownmeditation #lockdown2020 #lockdownlife #lockdown2 #lockdown3 #lockdown4 #lockdownart #lockdownchallenge #lockdownmyanmar #lockdownmindchallenge #lockdownmindfulness #quarantinemindfulness #quarantinemindset #quarantinemind #pandemic #pandemicmeditation #coronavirusmeditations #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidkindness #covid2020 #coronavirus2020 #covid #covidnews #covidart

Today’s mindfulness tip is all about mindful movement - the act of being fully present in the moment while moving. Try this: take a walk sometime this weekend. As you are walking, focus all of your senses on the present moment. How does your body feel as you move? How do your lungs feel when they inhale and exhale? Are there any sounds in the environment? When you feel your mind getting lost in thoughts, remind yourself to focus on only this moment. How did that feel? This is one way you can increase your mindfulness every day.

"No one comes to the earth like grass, we come like trees, we all have roots." -Yiddish Proverb
Very deep yet personal questions we have to ask ourselves.. I like to do this often, a few times a year - consider it a 'spiritual check in'. To make sure I'm operating from a whole and sacred space. To keep myself grounded and aware. To be humbled. For more excerpts from this book, Oms From The Mat visit my store, located on my website.. There you'll find this and other works.. These books are pieces of my soul, callings and downloads that I feel so blessed and honored to share with you.. Click here to get back to the link in my bio - @danadamaraevolution "Books"
In 1916, author James Joyce wrote: “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man”. Writing in a technique known as “stream of consciousness”, we are reminded how mind can resemble a stream and its dynamics. For those without time or inclination to read Joyce’s 299-page novel, here is a peaceful stream for your consciousness to enjoy for the next roughly 29 seconds. (🎥 by: Q.

failed recipes: 2 me: 0 Today I experimented with making hazelnut butter and coconut whip cream, but both were a major FAIL and that is okay!! This is the time to experiment in the kitchen and try new things, even when those things don’t always work out. We had some good laughs and that’s all that matters. ALSO, check out my takeover on @ivy_seen story on Sunday! She is kind enough to let me share my day and I am so excited. Thank you Ivy! 💛 Hope you’re all holding up in isolation and staying healthy, happy, and safe 🥰♥️

I definitely don’t have “more time” right now, but I have been baking a lot more this month. It’s quite meditative, is relatively within my control, and ends with comfort food. I’ve made brownies, cinnamon rolls, banana bread, and I’m attempting a sourdough starter. Something tells me cookies are next. Do you have any favorite baking recipes? 🥰 . . . #savouringhappiness #nothingisordinary #petitjoys #seekthesimplicity #chooselovely #theartofslowliving #slowlived #searchwandercollect #smallpauses #capturingourdays #quarantinebaking #quarantinelife #postpartumlife #creativemom #quarantinemindfulness #quarantinekitchen #quarantinestories #quarantinediaries #bakingfromscratch #bakinglove #greatquarantinebakeoff #stayhomeandbake #stayhomeandmakestuff #makersgottamake #bakersgottabake #quarantinemum #quarantinemom #kindlecuriosity #oldrecipecard #familyrecipes

With our new reality in quarantine, it seems Meditation and Mindfulness has come to the forefront of attention again as we have so much time with our selves. A few years ago I wrote a book about it and writing it taught me so much.

Sometimes we get going so fast that we forget to pause and just BE. This quarantine has allowed all of us to experience a wide range of emotions. Let this picture serve as a reminder that it’s okay if all you did was get out of bed or lay in it. You are here and that’s what matters. This quarantine is not a race nor a marathon. Let this quarantine be a time for reflection, relaxing and utilizing self-care however works best for you. . . Message from our host, Shae: “I’ve been using this time to catch up on research, spend more time with my son, family ‘ dogs, as well as SLEEP! Sleep has helped me reboot, refocus and be mindful of my activities and energy level. Mindfulness and spirituality have helped me stay grounded as well.” . .

💀. While some may consider it morbid, I included the skull in the engravings in the #MantraRing because it symbolizes Memento Mori, the inevitability of death for us all. The Victorians utilized this symbol in many types of art forms, as they lived this reality firsthand at a time when life expectancy was short for many. On the ring it’s there to push you to live each day to the fullest always, as you never know when might be your last. Very appropriate for these moments we’re navigating, even if it’s hard to face. Find the hand engraved mantra ring on the website - see link in bio. { 📷: @leaveittomephotography ; engraving: @bee_per } 💀 #StaceyFayDesigns #MementoMori #LiveEachDayToTheFullest
Looking for ways to practice self-care during quarantine? How about taking time to establish a hair routine? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Start with a great shampoo and conditioner. Once you’re out of the shower with clean, wet hair, use a leave-in conditioner. Add on a mask once per week, or twice for damaged hair. Now that’s not too difficult! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Click the link in my bio and check out Olaplex - to follow the routine I outlined you’d want to purchase #3, #4, #5, and #6! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s come out of quarantine confidently, as better versions of ourselves inside and out 🧡
Yoga encourages us to explore perspective both physically and mentally. As many of us are in quarantine and social distancing mode due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is now more important than ever to find the silver lining in an otherwise anxiety producing world. What can you be thankful for in your life right now? If away from work or school, what has a more solitary life allowed you to accomplish or reflect on? . . . . . #flipyourperspective #findthesilverlining #socialdistancing #mindfulness #yoga #positivityinaction #quarentineyoga #quarantinemindfulness 📷 via Canva

Today I woke up in amidst the energy of global madness I woke up for the sunrise and feel amazing on this beautiful sunny day Hearing an announcement from the Prime Minister who's advice on handling this situation right now is no contact, no hugging 😑 This does make me sit as....well I'm pretty much a professional hugger, my main income support is group gatherings and in person contact! But rather than panicking.... I'm observing And looking at how I can start to bring some of my magic more online And the fact that we can STAY CONNECTED even of it does come to quarantine I've been resistant Seeing online clients here and there But the classes I wish to bring in person....the sessions I can do to help people with states of anxiety and fear....my presence... Well it's needed more online than ever I'm seeing the push from the universe And the preparation for when we can come together in groups again I'm looking at the deeper parts of this... The call for inner stillness and observation That's why I am putting together an online timetable As of next week I will begin running some free online events To help during this time All the tools that I practice and have improved my life and nervous system dramatically It's needed now more than ever It's important as a collective we act....but not REACT This is when mindfulness is needed more than ever I will be offering my online sessions at the price of my readings (only $55 AUD) for anyone who would like support and guidance during this vibration of fear is washing over us Love to you all 💖🔮💖
