    Psilocybin at the End of Life with Dr. Paul Thambi

    I remember the day my dad called me to tell me that I should come home. My mom was not getting better. There is something to be said about the mental state one goes into upon receiving a potentially terminal diagnosis. Everything changes in this one instance, when the end of life turns from an if, a possibility far off in the future, to a when with a ticking clock. It goes way beyond the physical symptoms that go along with a disease and has more to do with the feelings and emotions, the worr...

    10. When Grief becomes your Muse - with Gina Harris

    10. When Grief becomes your Muse - with Gina Harris

    What I find fascinating about human emotions such as grief, is that every one of us deals with them differently. Some people shut down and deal internally with their feelings, others need the support and shoulders of friends and family. But sometimes it is this deep emotional turmoil, that gives birth to some of the most amazing pieces of art because some people work through their grief by writing, painting or singing about it.It is those songs born out of pure emotions that give me all the f...

    08. Messages and Visions. Insights from a Medium - with Jen Shaffer

    I have seen a few mediums in my time. Some were ok, one was downright awful, and I walked out after 10 minutes. But then there are those that just leave you amazed. One of them is Jen Shaffer. Jen is a world-renowned Psychic Medium. She has been on serval TV shows and movies on Gaia. She works with law enforcement on criminal cases and often hosts small group readings called Wine and Spirits.Maybe it was the name that drew me, but I did not know much about Jen, when I attended one of her Wine...

    07. Emotions in Motion - How to let grief move through you - with Paul Denniston

    07. Emotions in Motion - How to let grief move through you - with Paul Denniston

    Feelings are funny things. We think we experience them mostly on a mental level. Our brain makes sense of the things we feel, and we label them – as in “I feel happy” or “I feel sad, or anxious, or angry.” But it is in our body that most of these feelings settle in the end. How do we get rid of those tight muscles caused by anger, or the weight on our shoulders, where grief holds us down? This is what we will tackle in today’s episode. I had a chat with Paul Denniston, the founder of gri...

    06. Consciousness and the mind-brain-relationship - with Dr. Eben Alexander & Karen Newell

    If I would ask you, “where does your consciousness reside?” your first instinct might be to say “well, the brain of course,” right? After all, isn’t that the part of our body that does all the thinking? Where our thoughts are turned to words, where we debate with others and most of the time with ourselves, where we define who we are? But is that true? What relationship do the brain and consciousness have? And what can we do to go beyond the brain and access deeper levels of awareness? Hear fr...
