Like how stringent was the routine? And like what was
a day like in the monastery?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's a great The best bass of the life is
if you're understand the Unfortunately that I didn't understand. The
monastery life is the best life ever. But I didn't know.
I always tell people the bad is very important, you know, uh,
(00:42):
the bad. Uh even if that bad decon on exist,
then good deason I exist.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
So I was a monastery too young, and I didn't
have its fairence that the uh.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
The the world.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
That's a so you're not deafcoader. You have to pay rent, mortgage,
the car gas, I didn't have it. That's in spins
and in the monastery. Everything's uh ready so too too good.
And then I stubbed the monk. I didn't know that's
(01:19):
how great it was. Now I have spine's, I have
to pay gas, to pay food, to pay a car.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Pay mortgage, you pay rent. Then I know how great
love it was?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, while you were there?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Did was it?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I know some of the Buddhist monasteries practical practice martial
arts as well. Is that something that you took part in?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yes, absolutely so.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Do you guys train in martial arts like daily, Like
that's just part of the routine, Like.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
That's a party routine. And protect protector so weird teach
you marcia artists and not fall fight, that's a fall
protect the the for example, the uh even necessary need
and to protect your monastery. Protect and that's who get abused,
(02:18):
and for example, the protect the sension being who who needs.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I I like that because that's really what martial arts
should be for.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
And yeah, not for not for the the the be
to other people and hope.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, yeah, I definitely agree with that. One of the
other things I wanted to ask about the routine there
is how often you meditated while you were there and
what benefits for health and mental health do you think
meditation offers for people?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Mm?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
So meditations are like that we just uh buy the
same day two cars, the one car every didn't dive,
and one car once a while dive the after ten
years the same price, the same company and Saint hollow.
Then after ten years every didn't dive car and sometimes
(03:23):
to dive cars is different.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, so our mind without the meditations every day dive
obviously think and go go go, go, go go. The
metage is just a rest your mind, rest your mind.
You just a walk a walk.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Then every once in a while you just fifteen rest.
That's a very good for old body.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah you actually I read this on your website. You
actually did a two and a half year meditation and
no it's.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
A three three years, three months, three.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Days, three years, three months, three days. Yes, And like
what was the I'm just fascinated by this. What was
the purpose for that? Like what was the reason and
what did you get from that?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
The reason in situbate And that's a richie ready Like
when we have that's a when we study, for example,
then you get a different labor.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
And a certificate.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I'm not surprised and I'm not just I did that
because of my father. Grandfather asked me to do it,
and that's what wasn't a really profession and I didn't
think it was a very good thing I did. And
that's it just like this is just like you go
(04:54):
to school and get a certificate, you know, but really,
richly is you have what you own to do and
that you want to do and you can't do.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
That's a that's really read.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
You just praying all desation beans and do meditation and
to relax, relct, to see your mind and the really
renuciation of the old watch. That's a really ritreat. That's
a wasn't I want to do. I don't want to do.
But this my father and the grandfather I wanted to
(05:27):
do and I don't think of this kind that's the
the I do degree job.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Well, I I found it very impressive because that's a
very long time. Yes, if somebody was just starting out
in meditation, how long would you suggest that they aim for?
And you know, I know it's basically clear your mind,
like you were saying, relax. Is there any other little
tidbits that you would give somebody, like just if they're
(05:57):
just found out about meditation, like today's the day and
I'm gonna go try it. What would you really tell
that person on their first day?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Any time you try tryes just to use the liss.
I don't like a wardrobe to try tries like I just.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Canada twenty years in Canada and I tried to try
to get six forty nine and a lot to make
them any tense, but I never get it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Try is just useless. The word you can.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You have to do it any moment that matter, even
or money or noon or that's a matter. When you
want to do meticians right away, you have to do it. Meticians.
They have a good day, bad day, and money and evening.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
That's the matter. Whenever you have an opportunity to do,
just do. Don't try it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I love that, and that is very star wars Yoda.
I love that. So question from the audience, do you
know anything about the medical benefits of fennel?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
What the funnel?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I will actually look that up because I'm unfamiliar to
so just.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It is a plant. Fennyl is a flowering plant from
the carrot family native to the Mediterranean that he's used
both as vegetable and a herb.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Oh sorry, I don't. I don't know about this ude.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Okay, No, they were just wondering. They had to follow
up because she's been growing it to make tea with it.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
So I'm sorry, I never see that and I don't
know about that, so sorry.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, she seems that's actually something I will ask you.
That's a friend of mine, like I know them from online.
She's been having a lot of issues with her kidneys,
and I know we're going to get into the rest
of that later, but what would you suggest if somebody
is trying to detoxify or help the kidneys.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, obviously, a drink of warm water, no cold, and
don't eat a row you tables, and uh clean your
our blood that uh so many people have sometimes in
the mouth have mercury feelings and uh there's sometimes that
(08:28):
they're smoke. So cleans your blood. Kinney is a body
is a buttery and blood is the charger. For example,
when you're a kinney fail and then people the kenney dialysis,
that calls the kinney dialysis. But the reality is that
they're clean. The washing the blood mhm, that's you have
(08:49):
to do obways, Uh, the cut down the sugar, sugar
clean because of sugar you have in the blood you
have a shoe, then the blood circulation is sup poored.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Then poor circulation than your kidneys. Obviously, go to week.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
That makes that makes sense. Hold on, there's a follow
up and then there's another question. She's been having a
metallic taste today, extremely hot today, and we're not sure
if that's something to do with her kidneys. What she said,
she's been having a metallic taste and very warm. Mmm.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, maybe she she got to uh, some of fever
or just some some are warm. That's on a balance.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Sometimes warm people get a blood tossing, then suddenly warm
cold on the balance of that temperature, that's happens, Okay,
This is a clip from the After Dark Show with

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
