  1. Diary of a Young Psychic with Neon Dreamer

    2 DAYS AGO

    Diary of a Young Psychic with Neon Dreamer

    Today we head off the rails and into the spiritual undergrowth, where the wild things are. Our guest is Diana Piruzevska, aka Neon Dreamer – psychic, medium, healer. Yup – all that! Not her choice - at least not at first… Skeptics might scoff at these intuitions, experiences, and capacities, but that doesn’t change the fact that they kept happening to Diana and have always happened to some of her older family members. After years of battling it, she’s come out the other side and embraced her witchy Macedonian heritage. Diana now shares her talents with others via her radio show and her professional healing practice. For her guided meditation, Diana takes us through a grounding and opening breath practice that she uses with clients before a session. Then, to demo what her psychic process is like, she does a reading for Tasha, sharing out loud what she’s noticing about Tasha’s neat and orderly brain. Diana talks about what it feels like to lock into a client, to get an embodied feeling for their experience. Sometimes it’s very visual, other times more kinaesthetic – she unpacks the whole creative thing for us, leading to a lively discussion on doing magic on creepy dudes, trauma and disembodiment, and how others can navigate the stormy waters between mental illness and spiritual insight. Enjoy!

Let us know in the comments how your witchy psychic vibes are doing these days! K, That’s all for now.

  2. Mindfulness for Neurodivergent Teens with Tim Hwang

    OCT 30

    Mindfulness for Neurodivergent Teens with Tim Hwang

    Welcome Tim Hwang, an occupational therapist in New York City's public school system. Tim’s specialty is teaching mindfulness to young people with “disabilities classifications” - Autism, ADHD, and so on. Some of these teens are into the practice, some are bored by it, and some are highly resistant to it. And that’s what we get into! Tim, Tasha, and Jeff all have experience teaching meditation to young people, so there’s much insight-sharing and general tomfoolery. Unsurprisingly, Tasha and Jeff revert to their rebellious teen selves when Tim starts guiding them in his GROW practice - an acronym that means Ground, Relax, Open, Warm (the heart). Good times! This episode is for anyone interested in supporting young people - whether you’re an educator, a parent, or a teen yourself. We get into: * emotional regulation * customizing meditation for neurodiversity & ADHD * how to use “five-finger breathing” to calm down * the role of community, * and how teens can find their own unique pathways to practice. Tim - thank you, friend! And to all teens: feel free to ignore everything we say and do it your own way 😅 One-finger breathing! Then join us for The Afterparty video! And let us know in the comments at www.mindbodpod.com how you liked the GROW practice! K, That’s all for now! Thanks for tuning in & see you next week.

  3. Deepening our Bond with Nature with Steven Martyn

    OCT 9

    Deepening our Bond with Nature with Steven Martyn

    This episode is a transmission, no doubt about. Our guest wandered out of the Ontario forest and is here to challenge how we think about ourselves and meditation and nature and agriculture and the old crafts and a lot more. Welcome, Steven Martyn, founder of The Sacred Gardener School. While living alone in the bush - mediating, surviving - Steven came to understand meditation as a form of hunting for the origin of thoughts, looking for the “I within the I.” His relationship to nature changed. More intimate, more connected to nature’s gifts. He found the old ways of agriculture, of grafting, of building – all of them sacred practices. And now he teaches this in his forest mystery school. For our first guided exercise, we go back to being little kids and receive blessings from our elders, our ancestors. “There’s so much animosity and stress out there these days, we need to take care of our little child,” says Steven. For the second exercise — near the end of the episode — we practice seeing the natural world in a way that may push us out of our idea of being a small, separate self. We talk leadership, authority, hierarchy. Steven describes the power of the group at his school and how he helps participants move deeper into their relationship with nature. Lots of good stuff – maybe life-changing if you let it in! Then join us for The Afterparty (at www.mindbodpod.com), where your hosts discuss the natural world and plunging nondual f*****y unto infinity. Then we talk about losing connection to the blissful interconnectivity of nature, talking to plants, Jeff’s discarded book ideas, and Kurt Vonnegut. Let us know in the comments how your bond with nature’s going these days! K, That’s all for now! Thanks for tuning in & see you next week.

  4. The Autoimmune Feedback Loop with Eileen Laird

    SEP 24

    The Autoimmune Feedback Loop with Eileen Laird

    Welcome Eileen Laird, author of Healing Mindset. This episode, we target autoimmune disease and the role that the mind-body connection can play in reducing pain, increasing resilience, and living a more vital life. There are over a hundred different autoimmune conditions — from rheumatoid arthritis to lupus to Grave’s disease to multiple sclerosis and more — one in ten people have an autoimmune condition worldwide. Stress makes the condition worse… fortunately, this also works in the other direction! In moments of overwhelm, we can learn to send an anti-inflammatory cascade back through the nervous system. And that’s what we practice today! Eileen guides us in a soothing meditation of self-compassion, both working with pain and befriending the body. In our discussion afterwards we explore: * how to work with pain and find safe places in the body * the relationship between sensitivity and autoimmune conditions * how to notice early warning signals * how Eileen supports herself via daily routines * and much more… Take the practice for a spin and tell us in the comments how it went! Eileen, thank you for writing your book and for supporting so many people through your incredible podcast.

  5. The Creativity of Practice with Toby Sola

    SEP 10

    The Creativity of Practice with Toby Sola

    Toby Sola is founder of the Brightmind Meditation app and an old friend of Jeff’s. In this episode, we chew on some tasty mini-meditation snacks – yum yum! We get all Jedi-mind and try splitting our attention between chatting and meditating. Finally, we explore an inventive and beautiful practice of nurturing our own sense of trustworthiness. All of these are ways of highlighting the basic creativity of meditation, how we can mix and match the core skills to build practices that work for us. We chat about so much more! Like: * What’s the minimum amount of meditation for stress relief vs more enduring transformation? * How is one view of meditation and practice limiting? * How do we work with cringe moments? * And so on, and so forth, unto infinity!!!! Take these practices for a spin in your own nervous system, then join us for the official Afterparty, and tell us how it went! K, That’s all for now! Thanks for tuning in & see you next week.

  6. Finding Home in Our Skin with Kaira Jewel Lingo

    AUG 27

    Finding Home in Our Skin with Kaira Jewel Lingo

    Welcome Kaira Jewel Lingo, author of We Were Made for These Times and coauthor of Healing Our Way Home. Kyra shares her journey from a communal upbringing and monastic life with Thich Nhat Hanh, her work in nurturing community, and her exploration of racial identity in spiritual practice. Her gentle guided practice is beautiful and completely original. We notice the experience of our skin - its age, its protective and permeable nature, its colour, and its history. Afterwards, Tasha shares how profound this was for her, feeling her mixed white and Black heritage, which at times can feel like a battlefield playing out on her own skin. Our conversation afterward is frank and open: on race and ancestry, on how every person - regardless of skin color - has a role to play in healing the collective trauma of racism and colonialism. We talk about the larger “skin” of community - the role community has to play in offering support and safety, and yet also how hard that can be to find in a culture whose values so often separate and isolate. Is this changing? There are signs it may be. As Thich Nhat Hanh used to say, there is no more noble task than true community building. Hopefully, this podcast can be a place of community for our listeners - a place where we can explore together the many different ways of being human. Let us know in the comments how this practice was for you! Then join us over at www.mindbodpod.com for our riveting afterparty! That’s all for now! Thanks for tuning in & see you next week.

  7. Contemplative CrossFit with Frank Yang

    AUG 6

    Contemplative CrossFit with Frank Yang

    Welcome, Frank Yang – we love you! Frank is an “Infinite Brah” – a true bodybuilder of consciousness who shares his “journey, insights and practices for accessing the highest states of consciousness, awakening and beyond” to quote his fresh and wildly kinetic YouTube channel. So, there’s lots of talk about the experience (and health benefits!) of non-duality and awakening, whether it shows up in different ways for people in different cultures, the value and traps of using a map to find your way, the primordial mistake of separation (what Tasha’s teacher Lama Lena calls “the original oops”), and other excellent topics for consciousness nerds. Then, 30 minutes in, he takes us to Frank Yang Land — a WONDERFUL and very impactful guided practice that merges mindful noting with surrendering to effortlessness. We hit the sweet spot between doing and non-doing. Then, join us at www.mindbodpod.com for The Afterparty, where we discuss what percentage of our suffering has actually been reduced through practice. Is it 99%, like Frank says for himself, or some other number? How does this change with external intensities (like having kids)? Would the Buddha have gotten his ass kicked if he had to raise two kids in our 21st-century urban insanity? Probably! Let us know your thoughts in the comments! That’s all for now! Thanks for tuning in & see you next week. Love always, 🧘🏽‍♀️ Tasha & Jeff 🧘🏼‍♂️ Get full access to The Mind Bod Adventure Pod at www.mindbodpod.com/subscribe

  8. Three Precious Pills with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

    JUL 23

    Three Precious Pills with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

    This week, we welcome Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, world-renowned meditation teacher, author, and lineage holder in the Bön tradition of Tibet, one of the oldest spiritual traditions on the planet. Today, we take three protective imaginary “pills” – a white pill, a red pill, and a blue pill. “Because in the West everybody loves to eat pills!” Each pill is both a syllable that we voice out loud and a mini-meditation that addresses a specific challenge. The white pill – “Ah” – is awareness of stillness in our body, which can protect us against unskilful physical action. The red pill – “Om” – is awareness of silence, which can protect us against saying something stupid. And the blue pill – “Hung” – is awareness of spaciousness in the heart, which can protect us from making decisions out of anger or urgency. For eight ethereal minutes, Wangyal Rinpoche sings these three syllables to us again and again. You can let them wash through you as you sit with us or sing along. “Ah…” “Om…” “Hung…” The audio isn’t perfect, but who cares?! Can you feel each vibration? Can you feel each blessing? Jeff cries, as usual. It’s an honor to experience such venerable medicine. Let us know how the pills went to work on you and tune into the video afterparty over at www.mindbodpod.com That’s all for now! Thanks for tuning in & see you next week.
