    My Body Is a Meat Suit to Some Degree...and This Body Is Also Like a Receptor with Oneika Mays

    In this episode of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, meet Oneika Mays, a meditation teacher, author, and former Mindfulness Coach at Rikers Island Correctional Facility, as she shares the experiences that shaped her relationship with mindfulness, the body, intuition, spirituality, and love. For more than a decade, Oneika brought trauma-informed yoga and meditation into Rikers, eventually working one-on-one with people navigating incarceration while learning what it required of her to bear witness to so much pain. Her debut book, Sit With Me: A No-BS Journey to Mindfulness and Meditation, explores metta, or loving-kindness, as a practice for personal and collective liberation. Oneika reflects on growing up spiritually curious in a largely atheist family, unusual spiritual experiences she had as a child, learning through bodywork that she was sensitive to other people's energy, and developing the discernment to recognize communication from ancestors and guides. She shares hearing her father speak to her the day after his death, a profound meditative experience connected to the Door of No Return, and how she has come to understand her physical body as both the vessel through which she experiences this life and a receptor for information beyond the physical. The conversation also explores the intuitive download that completely changed Oneika's book after 16 rejections, why she believes safety must ultimately be cultivated within ourselves, and how her years at Rikers affected her personally. Oneika reflects on finding meditation during a period when she was deeply unhappy, eventually recognizing the ways she had used spiritual practice to avoid discomfort, and why love, mindfulness, and spirituality are not ways of escaping the realities of life but practices that can help us meet them more fully.

    We Don’t Have to Allow…The Spiritual Work Is Still the Same Spiritual Work, but It’s Just in a Different Form with Alicia Boyd

    What happens when spiritual practice moves beyond individual healing and into the healing of a community? In this episode of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, Alicia Boyd, community and political activist, educator, writer, Reiki Master, and founder of The Movement to Protect the People (MTOPP), shares how more than 25 years of spiritual practice ultimately became inseparable from her work as an activist. Through MTOPP, Alicia has helped organize efforts to stop rezoning and development plans that threatened to displace low-and moderate-income families of color in Brooklyn's Crown Heights and Flatbush communities. Alicia reflects on the full-circle evolution of her work. Early in her journey as a healer, she believed part of her role was helping people engaged in difficult fights and purpose-driven work clear their energy so they could remain strong. Eventually, she became the person doing that work herself. What began as healing individuals expanded into empowering communities, with Alicia using intuition to navigate unfamiliar political systems, develop strategies, uncover information, and challenge powerful institutions. The conversation also comes full circle personally. Eboni first knew Alicia as a spiritual healer and later received her Reiki Level I attunement from her. During that attunement in a Brooklyn park, a stranger approached them and Eboni unexpectedly gave her first clairtangent reading. More than a decade later, Alicia shares what she remembers witnessing that day and why she believes the experience revealed something Eboni needed to know about herself.

    I Tell Myself the Story Where I Win with Joél Simone

    In this episode of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, meet Joél Simone, affectionately known as The Grave Woman. She is a sacred grief care practitioner, licensed funeral director and embalmer, and an award-winning educator and speaker who brings more than a decade of expertise to end-of-life, death, and grief care. She is the founder of The Multicultural Death & Grief Care Academy, where she helps professionals, organizations, and governmental agencies create culturally sensitive and inclusive practices that honor diverse communities. Joél's work has been featured by the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Good Housekeeping, HBO, and the Library of Congress. Although Joél's work centers on death, this conversation is ultimately about being alive. We explore how witnessing death transformed the way she experiences life and why mortality has become one of her greatest teachers. Together, we discuss the relationship between the body and spirit after death, what it feels like to be in the presence of someone who has died, and why she compares the body to someone's empty house: the person has moved out, yet their essence can still be felt. We also explore how information is perceived through the Clair senses, channeling, and its connection to inner and outer awareness, and what it means to protect ourselves while remaining open to spiritual communication. We also reflect on restorative art and the practice of restoring the appearance of the body after death, culturally responsive end-of-life care and conversations, ancestry, compassion, curiosity, and the ways becoming more aware of death can deepen our relationship with life, ourselves, and one another.

    Pay Attention to Smell and Appreciate Smells in Their Environment with Dr. Rachel Herz

    Our sense of smell constantly provides us with information, but how much attention are we actually paying to it? In this episode of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, Dr. Rachel Herz, a neuroscientist and leading expert on the psychological science of smell, explores how scent influences memory, emotion, attraction, food, safety, and the way we perceive the world around us. A faculty member at Brown University and author of Why You Eat What You Eat: The Science Behind Our Relationship with Food, she has spent decades studying the relationship between smell, taste, behavior, and human experience. Rachel shares why smell can evoke visceral memories, how our personal associations influence whether we experience a scent as pleasant or unpleasant, and why the environment we're in can actually change our experience of what we're eating. She and Eboni also explore olfactory adaptation, body scent and attraction, the extraordinary amount of information humans can perceive through smell, and why Rachel encourages people to deliberately exercise their sense of smell. The conversation expands into how perception shapes our day-to-day experience and how greater awareness of what we're smelling, seeing, tasting, touching, and hearing can reveal how much we participate in shaping the way we experience our lives. Using smell as an example, the conversation offers another way to consider the information available to us through our senses and what can change when we begin paying closer attention.

    How Do I Live in Such a Way Where... I Don't Have to Be at Odds with Myself with Born I

    What if creativity, mindfulness, and intuition are all different ways of paying attention? In this episode of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, Born I (Ofosu Jones-Quartey), a musician, author, meditation teacher, and host of the Lyrical Dharma podcast, shares how contemplative practices and hip-hop have shaped his life and work.

    I Can Experience the Pain and Let It Move Through and Let It Pass Without Telling a Story with Bamzi

    What if healing begins when you realize you can choose your relationship with pain? In this episode of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, Eboni is joined by Bamzi, host of The Art of Being podcast. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, Bamzi shares how years of pain, disconnection, and healing transformed the way she understands consciousness, embodiment, and what it means to live from the inside out. Together, we explore why the primary world is internal, how living from our inner world shapes the way we experience everything around us, and why remembering who we are is often less about becoming someone new and more about coming home to ourselves. We also discuss moving beyond survival, allowing pain to move through without attaching to it, and the role embodiment plays in lasting transformation. Bamzi also reflects on how her own journey inspired the work she now does, helping others cultivate greater inner harmony, coherence, and a deeper connection with themselves.

    I Can Trust That This Is Real… The Proof Is in the Results with Maya Maat

    In this episode of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, meet Maya Maat, a womb wellness practitioner, author, and founder of The Joyous Womb, which provides postpartum support for Black birthing people and somatic healing for survivors of sexual trauma. Drawing from her background in Reiki, yoga therapy, meditation, breathwork, and postpartum doula care, Maya shares how growing up in a spiritually grounded family shaped her early relationship with intuition, energy, dreams, ancestors, and African traditional religions. She shares the story of manifesting Beyoncé announcing her pregnancy during the Renaissance World Tour, a powerful example of what can happen when intention, belief, action, and co-creation come together.  Together, we explore the womb as a center of creation, the relationship between the visible and invisible aspects of life, manifestation, aphantasia (the inability to create mental images), dreams, clairvoyance, clairaudience, and how trauma can interrupt our access to ourselves. Through this conversation, we're reminded that there are many ways we understand and experience the world around us.
