My own first experience of isolation occurred in 1942 when I was five. Our family, being British, was interned for three years as POWs of the Japanese during their WWII occupation of Shanghai. There were only three Jewish families in our high-walled, guard-gated camp. I suffered extreme loneliness, exclusion, and overt racism from kids needing little excuse to regularly shower me with pent-up hate. I learned to depend on my own resources and creativity to entertain myself during the long days in which we were free to roam around the grounds of our camp. I sketched and colored with whatever limited tools I could find, read books brought in by internees, and danced and sang to myself. I watched over babies in prams for moms doing chores. We were schooled by fellow internee teachers.

Poem on Isolation.

Every day I look outside and wonder ? should I brave it, And go to do some shopping? Or maybe I should save it for yet another week or two when the news is not so dire. Being at home alone so much, my creative mind’s on fire!I miss events and people, and the times we used to mingle but now I have to settle for the writing of a jingle! And really, isn’t that the thing that I was born to do—To be the all-round artist, the Ester that is true? So I am not complaining, but thanking lucky stars for gifts that whisk me up, away, from earthly woes to Mars. The sky’s NO limit when I’m playing piano, painting, writing—It’s all that I was born to do, what I find MOST delighting!

When writing poems and giving vent I feel my gift is heaven sent. The saying goes, “There’s none so blind”… If I may only change ONE mind Then I’ll continue on my quest, NEVER will I stop to rest! Many are now opening eyes—-they took a while to realize. The one they worshipped, idolized, was not the one they should have prized. As long as I have words that flow, I’ll vent—my hat into the rink I’ll throw! Seek the truth that sets you free—do research–not just from me! Don’t spend your life in misery because you voted abysmally. Be strong, just change, it’s not too late—your vote can change the hand of fate. If you’re honest, have heart and brain, you’ll see these leaders inflicted pain. On many of our brethren—admit it! Change your party—bravely quit it! Please don’t miss it—make a note. November—soon—they’ll count your VOTE!

In college at The Johns Hopkins University, my freshmen roommate turned out to be suicidal.  This, combined with being at a top university with an enormous workload, led to me feeling enormous stress and pressure.  I sought out books and then teachers who could show me tools that could help me when I needed it most.
When I first started practicing mindfulness, I was 20 and studied with westerners who had spent years in Asia living as monks and studying with great masters.
I found something compelling about them as individuals because they had an intangible quality that I wanted for myself.  Maybe it was happiness, maybe it was a lightness of being even beyond the normal experiences.  Whatever it was, I sensed it and wanted it for myself.   
This led me on a journey over the course of 25 years of seeking out the living Buddhist masters and learning from them directly rather than through intermediaries.
What I learned during that time, was that it was not necessary to filter the source teachings, but great benefit could reach more people if they were granted direct access.
The only problem was, I understood that most people would not go to Asia or have the chance to study directly with a teacher.
Fortunately, the system that they thought from I learned over the course of my 25 years and I am happy to share with you .
I have done my best to pass on the direct methods and inspiration, without the cultural or religious aspects.
I have applied these methods to my own life and career which has included high pressure jobs at global investment banks and wealth management firms.  I have also applied these same methods with much benefit in my relationships with my spouse and children.

20-27 My Orchard of Wisdom Is Compassionate Love.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from June 30th

Coming from a place of compassion and love makes my job easy, for it invites those loving souls to come and share their loving passion and acquired skills for those who are in a transition in life.

Self Discovery Media and all the Orchard of Wisdom shows is a humble place. We are more the Tea room or coffee house where you can get an honest dish of wisdom served. Sometimes it may be more that glass of wine or double Scotch type show, but whatever it is, it comes from a place of love.

https://soundcloud.com/plv-radio/20-27-my-orchard-of-wisdom-is-compassionate-love/s-XAvsUIhYALD

In the 8 years, I have been hosting (7 years my own Podcast network) I have learned a lot about people and my self. It is not about the bells and whistles, it is not who has the most followers, or the people who are famous, it is about the people who have taken their own journey in life and now in their divine wisdom wish to share the skills and tools that you will need to go through your own process in life.

I am asked if I interview celebrities, my answer is that everyone here on Self Discovery Media Community is a celebrity for we celebrate those for who they are and what they are here to share with the world.

It does not matter if it is a beginner who is just spreading their wings for the first time or a seasoned person who shares their knowledge because they love helping people. Stories of courage, strength, and found ability is the common theme here, for only those who have walked the path can be of service to another., they make the BEST TEACHERS.

Why do I bring you these people? because I know that you will be inspired by their journey and find an answer to a problem you may not even know you have and find a meaning in it that will propel you forward.

Inspiration begets Invitation.

I know that I am a changed woman because of all these wonderful stories. I know that I am stronger, calmer, wiser, more whole subsequently because of what I have discovered about my self because of these wonderful people who share life’s joy, caring, kindness, skills, compassion, and loving tools to transform one’s life for the better.

I do not have a fancy site, it is the same template as when I started, but it is clear and bright and I hope to all invitational. You see it is not about fame, money, or self-importance, but the pure joy of sharing someone AWESOME who has embraced their life no matter how hard a journey they had.

One day I will make it purely a Non Profit site, but for now, to keep the doors open I have to charge my guests, but what I have found, the true people who respect themselves will also respect my work and not bat an eyelid about it. I still support the beginners who are stepping out onto the wondrous path, also the organizations that are supporting a course themselves because everyone deserves that break to propel forward.

I have found my calling, my meaningful purpose, this is what I am meant to do and I am proud of who I am and the path I am taking. There are always some root problems that stop us from being all we can be. For some, it is an inner child needing to be loved, for others a validation that they count, for some a drive to archive greatness in discovering that greatness is when you empower others. We all have to face a crossroads and be willing to redirect our selves to become the beautiful instrument that joins a Life’s Orchestra that plays harmonious music that touches people’s hearts.

There is some style needed in podcasting, some etiquette to follow as a host and a guest. Our own authenticity is key as that is what leads the way in the hosting, but, also one needs authentic guests who really want to help others as their driving force will always make for an uplifting and inspiring show.

Come and Be Our Guest and or Mentor and share your wisdom with the world. FIND GUEST INFO HERE

20-25 The Stepping Up for change is here.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View Of Life with Sara Troy, on-air from June 16th

What does this mean? With every­thing that is go­ing on in the world right now, we are be­ing shaken up so we can wake up and STEP up to change it up. I be­lieve we are in the Step up stage as we change things up.
One of the things we need to un­der­stand is that change is not only nec­es­sary but im­per­a­tive for our sur­vival in and on this planet. Al­low, be­lieve, and step up for the change you seek, for we are both the ques­tion and the so­lu­tion.
Stand­ing up has brought us the #Me2 move­ment, is has brought us more un­der­stand­ing of our plan­etery needs, it has ig­nite us in anger over our Black lives been torn apart by po­lice bru­tal­ity, and we have had to stand up dur­ing Covid 19 to be there for each other in sup­port care kind­ness and even LOVE. 

https://soundcloud.com/plv-radio/20-25-the-stepping-up-for-change-is-here/s-a9Zl55nktnP

So even though you have been shaken up, it can leave one feel­ing a lit­tle ven­er­a­ble, but it does wake us up in the un­der­stand­ing that we were not so se­cure as we thought, and we can not ig­nore life as we are a part of it.
Wak­ing up can be scary but also so ex­cit­ing, as it is a new can­vass in which to paint our de­sires and dreams on for our selves and for our global na­tions.
Step­ping up can be hard for one does not al­ways know-how, but again a will­ing­ness to put one foot in front of an­other gets us mov­ing in the right di­rec­tion., it is Ac­tion­ism in place. 
Chang­ing things up once you have stepped up, can come easy as you see what is needed to make those changes and are you are now clearer of where to seek the help in or­der to make the changes needed for you and for our global com­mu­nity.
So do let fear crip­ple you, or anger or that false il­lu­sion of com­fort­a­bil­ity stop you, for the changes needed in the world first starts with us and we can only do that if we wake up and step up af­ter we have been shaken up and now wish to change it up.


Here on this Self Dis­cov­ery Me­dia net­work, we have 2500 shows of wis­dom that can help you on your path, you are never alone and with the right per­son guid­ing you, it is easy to take those steps and em­brace a new way of liv­ing.
