This week we’ll discuss how it’s ok to make other people and ourselves uncomfortable…even if it makes you want to puke 😉 We’ll dive into why discomfort can be a good thing and how to tell if it’s actually harming you. We’ll also talk about the myth of “feel good healing,” and why we need discomfort to grow!

This week we explore something that often makes a lot of people uncomfortable: Sacred Rage. Many of us don’t feel like it’s healthy to express rage, and/or we are thrown or upset when we see others express it. We’ll dive into why rage is actually necessary when it comes from a place of compassion + love and talk about ways we can use that rage for the betterment of ourselves and the more-than-human world around us.

This week’s episode is a special replay on a daily practice we can do to decrease unnecessary suffering – which is what this podcast is all about! It’s completely natural that things end – relationships, careers, objects we adore, and more. Yet we have so much resistance when things do come to an end, often feeling like it wasn’t supposed to happen. We’ll talk about the concept of “little deaths” that we experience in everyday life, plus the difference between when an ending is more easily accepted vs when we have more resistance.

We also dive into how our modern industrialized consumerist society encourages resistance to endings, and how to counter that. Plus I’ll tell you the one thing we should spend more time thinking about to help accept the little endings for a life of more freedom.

This week, we dive into Spiritual Practice vs Consciousness Exploration – and the dangers of not knowing the difference. I’ll talk about how we can use conscious exploration to nurture our spiritual growth (instead of letting it distract us) and how we can approach altered states with caution. Plus we’ll take a look at what Buddhism has to say about this and other psychic skills like telepathy, astral travel, and dream yoga.

In this week’s episode, we dive deeper into the concept that freedom is a FEELING – and not only the freedom TO, but freedom FROM. We’ll also jam on when to know it’s time to let go, and how our freedom affects more than just ourselves.

This week’s episode is short and potent reminder that joy is your birthright. In remembering our inevitable death and lack of control around it, we discover that we were ALL made for joy. I share a poem from the Persian mystic, Hafez, that is a mic drop moment you’ll want to hear, and invite you to begin to explore what fills your cup, and discover the special moments between despair and joy.
