Integral Health with Ben Calder Ben Calder

In this episode, I was really grateful to be interviewed by Laura Mac from Transforming you Live to talk about LifeForce Qigong.
We touched on a few other aspects of my work, including Bowen Technique, Kinesiology and the Epigenetics as well as the qigong.
As you all know Qi Gong is the deeper passion, that enriches my life and therefore my interaction in the world around me which therefore has a benefit on everyone else’s life as well.

I talk about life in relation to ‘Listening to the feedback, the noise that is constantly being produced by my body anyway, and trimming the sails adjusting oversteer and understeer it’s those simple ways that help me’

It is a great pleasure to be interviewed again for the Transcending Explorations podcast by upcoming Integral and Health advocate Lachlan Dunn.

If you have missed the previous 2 episodes of this series you can find them here in my blog.

In this episode, Lachlan wanted my views on these really interesting questions that we see in Integral Theory

Waking Up
Cleaning up
Growing Up
Showing Up
In this discussion we are exploring what these ideas might mean and how we can experience and practice these in our daily lives.

Through this episode we are looking at:

Waking up is not an event but a process
Integrating from waking up
Practice. Practice. Practice.
Wake up to new perspectives.
Subjective and objective shadow within cleaning up
How to notice whats shadow and whats not
We have immense amounts of consciousness wrapped up in our shadow
The collective shadow
Learning to take other peoples perspective
Transcending and including each structure of consciousness
Taking full responsibility
The journey of Life is like a roller coaster ride
I hope you guys love , enjoy and value this episode.

After the success of the first of the interview's with Australia's emerging Integral voice Lachlan Dunn, I was really pleased that he wanted to do a second interview.

At the end of our first interview https://bencalder.co.uk/blog/integral-general-theory/approaching-spirituality-and-spiritual-development-from-an-integral-perspective-with-ben-calder/ Lachlan said to me that he had only got about a third of the way through his notes of the things he wanted to discuss and of course I was happy to schedule another session so that we could talk more and so here you go.

In this session we are talking about the following topics:

- Bens morning and night routines

- Having fluid responses to events and environments we interact with

- Timing of practices

- Being in harmony with environmental circadian cycles

- The sun is a big magnetron also shifting inside of us

- Looking at the direction you sleep, the shape of the room and home your in and house materials

- How the shapes of buildings influence us

- Biogeometry/Geopathic stress

- The body wears the shape the mind creates

- The meaning of Health ?

- Adaptation & the expansion of consciousness

- Imbalance is necessary

- Everything in the right proportion is a medicine everything in the wrong is a poison

- What are symptoms , illness and disease ? Spontaneous diseases and us manufacturing our own diseases

- Shadow/Unconscious and physiological condition , perception and physiology connection.

So as you can see Lachlan wasted no time getting right into some really interesting topics.

In this conversation, entitled "Approaching Spirituality And Spiritual Development From An Integral Perspective" we explore the following topics:

- My worldview
- Being able to take multiple perspectives and be flexible
- Nothing is important , it doesn't matter, life is neutral
- Most efficient and effective practices and modalities along bens awakening and healing journey
- Big mind meditation
- Human beings are too comfortable now compared to our ancestors
- Is the world a mirror reflection ?
- Infinitude of observations to take
- Where is the past and future ?
- What spiritual development looks like from an integral perspective
- The many perspectives of spirituality
- Surrendering
Its really amazing to have an emerging Integral voice such a Lachlan, who is based in Australia, to want to discuss my approach to health.

Lachlan is fast becoming an exciting voice in the next generation of people exploring the boundaries of health and spiritual development.

Recorded on #worldsuicidepreventionday Centre director Ben Calder talks to Marcus Matthews about his experiences with suicide and how it changed his life.

Marcus shares his journey from feeling suicidal to now helping others understand what his journey taught him about suicide and how feeling suicide and anxiety are about killing who you have become not who you are.

And as a gift to others in this situation you can access Marcus' Free Hypnotherapy Course and Recording available when you buy the book on Amazon

It was a great pleasure (and with lots of laughter) to talk with my old friend and college Phil Clubley, who not only is a fellow kinesiologist, but is also the current chairman of the Kinesiology Federation, the UK's largest dedicated organisation for kinesiologists.
We explore kinesiology (I mean for those who don't know, wtf is it, how do we even say it?) and how it can be used for helping to keep us healthy and resolve issues on a number of levels, his role as the UK chair and the challenges the last year has brought and his thoughts for the future of medicine with kinesiology as an active partner.
