The Effortless Path To Enlightenment | Richard Rudd

[@ravenofthewild]

At 18 I found my first teacher. She was in her late 60s. She told a story about traveling in Ireland and getting lost on a country road. An elderly woman was in her yard and my teacher asked for directions. This Elder invited her into her garden and gave her tea and biscuits while she drew a map. On her way out this Elder woman gave her roses from her garden. After years of incredible experiences, travel, meeting well known Spiritual Teachers, my teacher realized that this meeting with this ordinary wonan, showing her kindness was the greatest teacher she ever encountered. This touched me deeply and was a guiding light of how to live my life. Chop wood, carry water, do the laundry and offer strangers a cup of tea... awakening is recognizing how absolutely extraordinary the ordinary is. Beautiful conversation, gratitude and appreciation ❤

Morning Invocation -May love pour through our souls leaving us together as one. -May light flower in our hearts lending us the grace to transform all fears. -May warmth radiate our belly's bring prosperity to all. -May purity shimmer in our bones filling us with the light of the stars. -May kindness resounding our voice softening the way that lies ahead. -May clarity shine through our mind as we lie in the arms of the infinite beloved. -May solace abound in all of our lives touching all who we meet. -May solace abound in the world bring all being into perfect union.

Years ago while working as a nurse in an end of life setting, I walked in with a travel coffee mug in my hand. I was stopped by an 85 year-old woman who asked what I was carrying. I explained to her that it was my coffee that I made on the way out the door. She asked if I took time to brew it and how I spent that time. I then described the Keurig machine to her and how convenient it was. She gave me the gift of kindly reminding me of the time I was missing for myself. I’m forever thankful.

[@ClareYogini]

And, when we let go of who we think we are, we bloom. Wow. One of the best interviews with Mr. Rudd I’ve ever had the treasure of imbibing 😻✨☀️

[@paolafillippi]

This man is WISE, everytime he speaks it comes from such a loving place really

[@kristallyzation]

I listened to this on the plane ride back from visiting my terminally ill mother (possibly for the last time) today and it felt like the giant warm embrace I needed. Thank you so much. “Grace creates an open heart” “awakening is just a series of softenings”

[@Jana_Rea]

Sending so much love to your mom, to your heart, and all of your family.

Andre!!! That poem 😭😭😭😭 so so beautiful

[@louisedriscoll1603]

I’m a Yin yoga teacher and what you talked about during this podcast is the work we are doing every single week. I had so many aha moments during your sharing. Deep thanks 🙏🌟

[@jennifers.798]

It’s truly amazing how the universe brings you exactly what you need to hear if you are open to listening. When the student is ready, the teacher will come. No need to hunt for direction. Just be still. Thank you Richard and Andre.

[@Arden7one]

Thank you for this loving shared intimate space between your insurmountable synergy. Strolling down on autopilot, suddenly your poem Andre, caught me by a pleasant surprise. Walking down the streets of London, tired after late night workout, and I didn't even realise. How your channeled stillness crept up from within me, words so sincere, deep and wise. Seeds you may have unintentionally scattered yet sprouted unbeknownst in me, tears of gratitude to arise. Much love ❤

[@cbecketmoon3358]

“your life in its ordinary state, can feel extraordinary “ … thank you… yes… the deeper we dig into each moment- the more adventure in simply breathing, listening, relaxing… “playing in the body” thank you 🙏

[@TyannSanchez09]

It’s so refreshing to hear Richard talk about feeling even closer to his dad with greater intimacy after he passed. That is the exact experience I’ve had since my mother passed away in 2017. I’ve tried to explain this to the rest of my family and they just don’t understand how I could feel that way. My relationship with my mom when she was alive, while very deeply loving, was very difficult at many points in my life. But since her passing; I only feel such deep love and absolute connection with her.

[@chimdi]

What a beautiful dialogue! Richard really embodies what he has been teaching and I can feel the difference that makes, my spirit truly was so at peace after listening to him 🙏🏽

[@meditatewithmarie8648]

Ok~ it’s taken me a few days to listen to the entire episode, in shorter bursts around my working life… but what a blessing that’s turned out to be. I’ve really enjoyed this chat and a lot of it felt like Richard could see right into my soul! It’s been a pleasure to slowly absorb and contemplate each section of this podcast, thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@EKSKE]

This is the best interview with Richard. You truly hold a beautiful space and engagement with your guests that allows them to truly shine. You sir are an excellent podcaster. ✨ Thank You ✨

[@simiremubalamaofeimu8166]

honestly this is what i stand for and being a mother of 8 children’s this what made me to even live church when i realized that it all here and it within me and i can start with my self and my husband and children and honestly 10 years later i am now an Afrikan yoga instructor and going out there that’s when i almost lost it but i am so grateful that i stayed true to myself and my inner force telling me that it with simplicity and flowing that you found peace and listening to this as really confirming me that this is the way for me and thank you so much Andrea i didn’t know about this beautiful being now i know him i am going to follow him 😅 so i can stay in my truth 🙏🏿💜💜💜

[@Koox0018]

Good job! Great interview! Yes the gene keys and the Art of Contemplation are amazing teachings. Most importantly, I love his way of being. Everything he shares have so much richness and depth. Thank you to all that made this podcast possible.

[@Gr33nT4r4]

the quintessence of these two beautiful beings, who embody the masculine and the feminine is such a blessing. Deep and rich conversation. Seeing the depth of resonance of an elder and a youth with such depth, beauty and maturity. Mahalo

I read Rich is a student of Shi Heng and considers Wayne Dyer as an influential mentor. That right there elevates the man's words into gold. ty 4 vid

[@Wheezey1976]

A gift of Grace to this Heart’s longing! A flower doesn’t have to be taught to grow into its glory, altho the loving hands of a gardener may ease the way! I’m hearing “consider the lilies of the field”👣What I’m so grateful to have received is the assurance, a SIMPLE devotion to LOVE’S wisdom as IT reveals ITSELF, (as we practice freeing ourselves from the bondage of self ), providing our hearts, souls & minds PEACE, PURE LOVE & the LIGHT to see our way HOME, while drinking up the magnificence of being alive! Thank you both,Namaste 👣

[@youngandprofitingpodcast]

I find it refreshing to hear about the effortless path to enlightenment. It's a wonderful reminder that we don't always have to push and force ourselves. Embracing the simplicity and beauty of each moment can lead to profound growth. I love the idea of finding diamonds in our pockets. It reminds us to appreciate the small joys and blessings that surround us every day. Let's keep creating space for grace and softening our hearts to let our true genius shine! Thank you for this motivational conversation! 😌

[@lindagumbleton6569]

When you have manifested your sitting down and offering a cup of tea service can I be there with you !🧘🏻‍♀️ Loved being with you both in this beautiful conversation and could so relate to Richard’s experience with death. I experienced that depth of intimacy after my husband of 41 years passed . Without the day to day challenges of domestic life so beautiful to witness him as he was without judgement or projection through acceptance and forgiveness. Death is profoundly important in learning who we really are. Thank you it was wonderful to hear it being expressed as it’s not how most people view the loss of a partner. Such a gift. 🙏💚

[@BrendaMailer]

So many treasures here, thank you for sharing your wisdom. Much to contemplate and put into practice. First thing is morning time, just me and my tea and a journal for any musings. 🙏

[@life_is_a_video_game_007]

Alchemical science has always been first and foremost a spiritual understanding and work. When the seeker of truth finds "spiritual gold", he no longer needs to seek possession of physical gold or precious stones...He no longer simply feels the urge to do so. But this work on oneself is really long and disconcerting... Let's keep courage in our quest for enlightenment ! Sincearly 😀😃😄❤❤❤

Most important teachings in my life came from Richard and the Gene Keys. I am forever grateful to him!

Yess to this - reading gene keys at the moment - thanks for this

[@siobhanmulvey]

My awakening is challenging. My child trauma mind hanging onto its role very tightly bc it was protecting our heart and my dog I loved more than any other being. So it has a quick default unconscious state when it feels emotions similar to childish trauma emotions. I love doing laundry etc bc turned it into sacred divine ritual. I love the everyday as divine being state to cultivate my path deeper into temple within.

[@MikkoMurmeli]

This is very profound! I will probably listen to this again, thank you

[@wamialuko]

That poem was so beautiful Andre ! soft and potent like an opening flower

[@kerryhenwoodspiritualcarni5122]

I can speak to the plant medicine path after 30 years of taking plant medicine and half of that time leading plant medicine, circles way before it became trendy. I did ask myself that question 4 years ago. Where do I stand inside myself without anything propping me up. And so I have never returned taking plant medicines. Sometimes I feel like I lost a good friend. I hold the deep respect for the path that led me to my. Nature sustainability.

[@Enlightened_Manifestor_with_AI]

Beautiful answer! I couldn’t stop crying when Matias talked about being skeptical.

[@kendylouwhoo]

If I never took another plant medicine again, it would feel sad. Like a friend that's no longer here. But my path would go on. That's how I feel about plant medicine, beings that I align with deeply, like a friend that I love getting to know and spend time with. Teachers that teach in ways that put things in a way that really make sense for my mind ❤

[@Andreduqum]

Deep in the stillness of now, Lies the greatest gift to be found It’s in the acceptance of what is, That you break what’s kept you bound When you find the quiet within, An immeasurable treasure shines through A glimpse into the eternal nature, Of this mystery called you What we seek is who is seeking, And so we look to others to be seen But when you see the one who’s seeking, You are freed from who you’re being A flower opens gently, And has its cycles, like the moon When you let go of who you’re not You might just find yourself bloom And so a more beautiful world may come, not by trying to change the tides But by softening your gaze within And to begin seeing with new eyes 🤍
