    Being with Uncertainty

    In this solo episode of Bodhisattva Conversations, I explore the practice of being with uncertainty,  and the truth that the only thing we are ever certain of is that nothing is certain! As human beings, we go to great lengths to construct safety. We build structures around money, work, relationships, identity, and even our spiritual beliefs. We tell ourselves that if we arrange life carefully enough, we will be protected from change. But everything changes. This episode is not about abandoning stability or rejecting the practical foundations of life, shelter, food, work, security.  They support our human survival!  Instead, this podcast questions where stability becomes identity, and where safety becomes attachment. What if uncertainty is not something to conquer, but something to live with? What if the fleeting nature of life is what makes it precious? When we truly accept that people will not stay forever, that circumstances will shift, that outcomes are not guaranteed, something relaxes.  We begin to appreciate more. We say thank you more often. We listen more closely. We treasure the ordinary moments that are, in truth, extraordinary. The deepest safety may not be found in controlling life, but in learning to remain present within it.

    Stillness Is Freedom: Calming the Restless Mind

    Most of our suffering is not caused by life itself, but by the restless mind reacting to life. In this episode, I explore what it truly means to still the mind not by suppressing it, but by gently training it so that we are the master of our mind! There is a saying that it makes a wonderful servant and a terrible master! We look at: Why the mind becomes addictive, doubtful, critical or negativeThe subtle ways we seek relief from discomfortHow inner restlessness fuels reactivityThe difference between forcing silence and allowing stillnessAnd why freedom is not found in perfection, but in non-entanglementDrawing on contemplative wisdom and lived experience, this episode reminds us to 'press pause', and to discover the clarity that emerges when the mind no longer needs to escape. Stillness is not emptiness. It is fullness.

    The Wisdom of Pain: Trauma, Healing and Integration

    Not Getting Stuck in Pain | Healing Trauma & Living More Fully Pain is an inevitable part of being human, but suffering arises when pain isn’t met, processed, or allowed to move. In this episode of Bodhisattva Conversations, I explore how trauma and unprocessed pain can keep us stuck in survival patterns, and how healing becomes possible through awareness, presence, and compassionate self-listening. Rather than bypassing pain or rushing “healing,” this conversation gently examines: The many forms trauma can take - past and presentHow unhealed pain shows up as patterns in our livesThe way the body holds what the mind cannotThe non-linear stages of healing and integrationWhat truly supports transformation and inner freedomThis episode investigates how to move from survival into living - from contraction into choice, and to remember that healing does not mean erasing the past, but no longer being ruled by it. This reflection is for anyone on a path of self-healing, inner work, and presence.

    Meeting Death Without Fear

    In this episode of The Practice of Being, I reflect on death, not as something to fear, but as one of life’s greatest teachers. From early childhood moments to spiritual traditions, lived experience, and sitting with people at the end of their lives, this episode explores how learning to die allows us to live more fully, consciously, and lovingly. We look at why the fear of death arises, how identification with the body and mind creates suffering, and how practices such as presence, meditation, and self-inquiry help us remember who we truly are. When we begin to clear attachment to the created self - our stories, identities, and conditioning -  something profound is revealed: what we truly are was never born and can never die. This is an invitation to meet death gently, to soften into life, and to live from a deeper knowing that there is no ending,  only a change of experience.

    Simple Practices to Raise and Sustain Your Vibration

    In this episode, I explore what it really means to raise our vibration, not through forcing positivity, but through awareness, clearing, and presence. We are energetic beings, and our thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences all shape our vibration.  Many of the feelings that lower our energy, arise from early experiences and repeated psychological loops that play out again and again in our lives. In this episode, I share how becoming aware of these patterns, and learning to pause, breathe, and meet what we’re feeling, allows energy to move and our vibration to naturally rise. We explore: What vibration is and how we sense it in ourselves and othersThe link between thoughts, feelings, and childhood conditioningClearing emotional loops rather than bypassing themEveryday practices that support a higher vibrationNervous system regulation and the role of the bodyIdentity, responsibility, and remembering our true natureRaising our vibration is not about becoming someone else, it’s about coming back to who we truly are.

    Meeting Life Without Resistance

    In this episode of The Practice of Being, I explore the practice of non-resistance -what it is, what it isn’t, and how it can transform the way we meet life. Non-resistance does not mean passivity or giving up. It doesn’t mean we stop stretching, growing, or acting. Instead, it simply suggests that we meet life as it is, without forcing, imposing, or resisting our experience. Drawing on lived experience, Taoist wisdom such as wu wei, and simple embodied metaphors, this episode explores how resistance can be part of our flow, how acceptance creates real transformation, and how stillness can exist even within action. I look at: What non-resistance really meansHow embracing resistance can lead to growthPresence, breath, and releasing tension in the bodyLetting life move through us rather than pushing against itIdentity, conditioning, and remembering who we truly areWhy acceptance and love sit at the heart of everythingI explore and embrace our human experience and suggest that we remember that even in challenge or sorrow, there is a deeper place within us that knows all is well.

    The Practice of Being: Reflecting on 2025, Entering 2026

    In this episode of The Practice of Being,  I explore reflecting on the year that has passed and how we can step into the year ahead from a place of presence rather than striving. Together, we look back on 2025 from a place of self awareness, reflecting on our relationships, work, dreams, and inner life.  This is not about judgement or regret, but about taking responsibility with kindness: acknowledging where we showed up well, where we may have acted differently, and what the year has revealed about what truly matters to us. I also explore the goals and aspirations we held, those we achieved, and those we abandoned, asking whether they were truly aligned with our hearts, or driven by expectation, fear, or comparison.  We reflect on the role of inner work in shaping our outer lives, and how clearing old patterns, reactivity, and conditioning creates space for something new to emerge. Looking ahead to 2026, this episode suggests you to dream as big as your heart desires, while remembering that what we cultivate within is always reflected outward.  When we begin from being, action flows with greater ease, clarity, and a sense of magic. This episode asks us to pause, reflect, and step forward from inner alignment.

    Trying Too Hard: Effort, Exhaustion, and the Path to Ease

    In this episode, I’m joined by Anadi Taylor for a reflective conversation about the tendency to 'try too hard' and the often unseen cost of living in constant effort. We explore what “trying too hard” really means, why so many people fall into this pattern, and how the short-term rewards of approval, achievement, and control can quietly lead to exhaustion, burnout, and disconnection from ourselves. Together, we look at how early conditioning, parental expectations, and social and peer pressures shape this drive to over-effort, often without our conscious awareness.  We also explore what becomes possible when we introduce greater stillness within our actions - not through withdrawal or passivity, but through clarity, presence, and a genuine willingness to let go of patterns that no longer serve. This conversation is an invitation to question where effort has become habit, and how meaningful change begins with the true desire to live differently. This conversation with Anadi Taylor forms part of my ongoing series, 'The Practise of Being', a collection of reflections and conversations exploring how we live, act, and relate when we soften habitual striving and return to presence, clarity, and inner ease.
