    The Science & Spirituality of Consciousness with Dr. Tony Nader

    This week Sarah sits down with Dr. Tony Nader, a physician, neuroscientist, and leader in the Transcendental Meditation movement, to explore one of the biggest mysteries of our existence: consciousness. Together, they explore the relationship between the mind and body, science and spirituality, meditation and creativity, and what it means to access a deeper sense of self. On this episode of Moonbeaming you'll hear: How Dr. Tony Nader went from physician and neuroscientist to studying consciousness and Transcendental Meditation What consciousness actually is and why Dr. Nader believes it extends far beyond human consciousness How meditation can create a state of inner silence while maintaining deep alertness and awareness Why stress and fear narrow our consciousness and limit the possibilities we can see How calming the nervous system can create more space for creativity, intuition, and clearer decision-making The connection between meditation, the brain, creativity, and the default mode network How Transcendental Meditation can help us reconnect with what Dr. Nader describes as our deeper, truer self What it means to live from a place of greater consciousness, connection, and care ---  Dr. Tony Nader is a physician, neuroscientist, Vedic scholar, and leader of the Transcendental Meditation movement. A Harvard- and MIT-trained scientist, he is the author of Consciousness Is All There Is and his newest book, The Power of Caring, which explores how caring is rooted in consciousness and how we can cultivate deeper, more fulfilling connections with ourselves and others. https://drtonynader.com/ --- Join Our Community: Join the Moon Studio Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themoonstudio Buy the 2026 Many Moons Lunar Planner: https://moon-studio.co/products/many-moons-2026?srsltid=AfmBOopThx1yrmKl0tMjecc_EFeeN5DAiIafqPqvQ4Uke1WEi5droeam Subscribe to our newsletter: https://moon-studio.co/pages/newsletter Find Sarah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gottesss/

    Your September 2026 Reading: Trust the Transition

    It's almost September dear listener!  In this deeply personal episode, Sarah opens up about the heartbreak and change she's currently navigating and how it connects to September's central theme: corrective experiences. This month is an invitation to do things differently, to rewrite old patterns, to stay rooted in your values, and to find meaning even when life doesn't unfold the way you hoped. On this episode of Moonbeaming you'll hear: Why corrective experiences are the central theme of September How doing things differently can help you build confidence and create proof that change is possible Why September is a month for closing old chapters and beginning new ones How to recognize when fear, defensiveness, or outdated patterns are guiding your thoughts and actions Why the challenge this month is to make things easier by loosening your grip and letting go of control How asking for help and allowing yourself to receive support can help you navigate periods of transition Why friendship, play, and community are especially important during difficult times How to stay connected to your values and integrity when life isn't going the way you want it to Why you don't have to wait for everything to be resolved before you allow yourself to feel whole How to use the energy of the equinox to reorient around the things you want more of in your life --- Join Our Community: Join the Moon Studio Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themoonstudio Buy the 2026 Many Moons Lunar Planner: https://moon-studio.co/products/many-moons-2026?srsltid=AfmBOopThx1yrmKl0tMjecc_EFeeN5DAiIafqPqvQ4Uke1WEi5droeam Subscribe to our newsletter: https://moon-studio.co/pages/newsletter Find Sarah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gottesss/

    The Secret to Finishing Creative Projects with Lee Starfield

    Today, Sarah is joined by gender-expansive and nature-based tarot reader, workshop facilitator, and writer Lee Starfield for a live coaching session on one of the biggest challenges many creatives face: finishing what they start.

    Healing the Fear of Being Seen: An Intuitive Reading Featuring Maya Mackrandilal

    What if your fear of success is actually a fear of being seen? Today, Sarah sits down with multidisciplinary artist and writer Maya Mackrandilal for an intuitive reading exploring the fear of visibility, the wound of being misunderstood, and the ancestral patterns that can keep us from fully expressing ourselves. Through tarot, somatic practices, and compassionate inquiry, Sarah and Maya uncover what happens when we begin meeting our protective parts with curiosity instead of judgment. On this episode of Moonbeaming you'll hear: Why the fear of success is often rooted in the fear of being truly seen How childhood experiences of being misunderstood can shape your creative life Why rejection can activate protective parts of ourselves and how to work with them compassionately How ancestral patterns can influence visibility, creativity, and self expression A gentle somatic practice for working with the parts of yourself that hold fear Why learning to truly see yourself is the first step toward allowing others to see you too If you’re navigating a season of transformation, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that your greatest gifts often live beyond the fear that holds you back. --- More on Maya: Maya Mackrandilal is a multidisciplinary artist and writer whose practice spans performance, sculpture, video, and text.
