Unlock the mysteries of the unseen world and discover how alcohol, spirituality, and subtle beings intersect in intriguing ways. Gain a deeper understanding of how intoxicants can compromise the subtle body and make one susceptible to possession by subtle entities. Our discussion draws on a verse from the Bhagavad Gita to illuminate the spiritual consequences of worshiping entities such as ghosts, and we demystify the distinctions between the physical body, subtle body, and soul to help you navigate these profound concepts with ease.

Step into the world of ghosts and subtle beings as we explore their desires and interactions with our realm. Learn about the conditions that lead souls to become ghosts—like untimely deaths, suicides, and improper spiritual rites—and find out why these entities often linger in places like graveyards. By breaking down the common misconceptions and fears surrounding these beings, we aim to offer a more compassionate and knowledgeable perspective on their existence and their attachment to their former lives.

Listen to captivating personal stories, such as eerie encounters during sleep paralysis and a haunting experience at an Airbnb on Halloween, to understand how subtle frequencies and mantras can attract or repel these entities. Reflecting on the spiritual significance of mantras and worship, we offer insights into how substances like alcohol can break down the subtle body, making one more susceptible to possession. Through this journey, we emphasize the importance of understanding and respecting the spiritual world, and how our choices can impact our spiritual well-being.

When life handed me an unexpected journey into fatherhood, it redefined my understanding of love and purpose. It's these profound shifts in identity and the pursuit of self-realisation that I discuss with Melvyn, the visionary behind the Mind Body Spirit Festivals and a mentor at Living Meditation. Together, we traverse the terrain of spirituality, how it intertwines with the roles we play, and the importance of finding a path that reflects our deepest values. Melvyn shares his transition to Krishna Bhakti and we consider how spiritual mentorship can illuminate the quest for a fulfilled life.

The vibrancy of spirituality doesn't just resonate in quiet meditation rooms; it's in the laughter of our children and the wisdom of our daily routines. In a heartwarming exchange, we reflect on the evolution of parenting and spirituality across generations, sharing personal stories that highlight the power of surpassing past conditioning. We examine the beauty of diversity in spiritual practices and how they can cultivate a deeper connection with the divine, within the context of our modern world.

Join us as we explore the ebbs and flows of life, the search for authenticity in spirituality, and the service of sharing those revelations with others.
