Jul 28, 2025In this episode, I talk about the 3 layers of human existence. Most people only live in the layer of the mind. The thoughts, the stories, the judgments.

The body then becomes a portal to the spiritual dimension: the connection to all life force itself. When you connect to the deeper layers of existence, your mind becomes a creative tool that can access a deeper intelligence.

Oct 13, 2022This episode is intense. I talk about how we internalize abusive systems that we've been in, and how we often fail to recognnize that the abusive voice in our head is not our own.

Often times, we try to go after what we want and avoid what we don't want. This is where we get stuck. Paradoxically, you must be able to hold more of what you don't want, like grief, disappointment, other peoples' projections, in order to be able to hold more of what you DO want.
