In the Moment with Mamoon

Religion & Spirituality Podcas

Presence and mindfulness are more than just ‘nice ideas’. They’re the essence of the spiritual path and the key to the inner-peace and psychological ease and wellbeing we’ve all been searching for. However, most of us struggle to be ‘present’ for more than just a few minutes at a time. This podcast introduces you to ‘The Psychological Switch’ - a new paradigm of personal development and inner change-work that offers hope, and the promise of lasting transformation, to anyone who has been seeking the benefits of mindfulness, CBT, NLP, emotional release techniques and other forms of self-help. The Psychological Switch leads us to naturally develop more presence and a deeper level of presence, along with many of the virtues we all wish to see in ourselves and others. Instead of trying to ‘force’ our minds to be present, this approach leads us to eliminate the source of the noise, clutter and insecurity that distracts the mind from its natural state of presence. This leads us into more clarity, confidence and psychological freedom than we’ve ever known. This changed my life beyond imagination. My hope is that The Psychological Switch - based on the teachings of Sydney Banks and his student, Dr Keith Blevens PhD - will have a similar, or even deeper impact on you.

Quran Reflection: 5 Ways to Overcome Difficulty

12/14/2023

A couple of weeks ago, at the monthly Zikr Gathering in our home, I shared some reflections on the verse: ”So indeed, with difficulty, there is ease. Indeed, with difficulty there is ease.” [Quran 94: 5-6] Allah always speaks truth, even though it takes some reflection to see the truth of this verse. I give 5 insights into how any of us can instantly find ease and relief, even in the midst of real difficulty and challenges. These all apply, no matter how drastic the situation: from loss of loved ones, to disease, death, famine, war and worse.

Pray on time, every time. Method #8 - No Guilt.

12/7/2023

Don’t pray out of guilt. It’s the worst reason to pray. Guilt feels bad, it brings you down, and wanting to avoid it is kind of a silly, selfish reason to go to the prayer mat. Your ego can run circles around you if guilt is the only reason you’re trying to pray. For too long, a lot of us have settled for guilt as a common reason to pray, because we’ve been aiming to just ‘get it done’ instead of aiming to elevate our souls, and be transformed every time we step up to pray. There are a lot of beautiful, uplifting reasons to pray. Guilt ain’t one of em. Watch today’s video for more.
