Meeting the Mystery Jordan Weir
-
- Religion & Spirituality
Welcome. I’m Jordan Weir, and I’m a therapist, among other things. This isn’t a typical therapy podcast - these episodes follow something subtle and profound. The Mystery is what we learn to connect to in therapy that enables change, but we can also learn to meet it through other activities we love, like painting or gardening. Any method can work, provided it is done “from the heart” or “just right” - but what does that really mean? It’s the “just rightness” of healing and spiritual growth that we will explore on Meeting the Mystery. Thank you for joining me on this journey.

Ep. 4: The Mystery of Zen Shiatsu, with Joan Foley
Joan Foley is a Zen Shiatsu practitioner in Toronto, whose life and work has led to a rich understanding of how energy flows through all things. I ask her about her personal healing journey, and how tapping into energy helps us connect to the Mystery and heal deep wounds.

Ep. 3: The Inner Connection
Connecting with one's own personal, moment-to-moment experience of mystery is integral to healing and spiritual growth. Meander with me as I explore this vast topic from different angles, attempting to capture the delicate practice of turning one's ego into awakening.

Ep. 2: The Mystery of Place and Plants, with Kat Foley
Kat and Jordan, two long-time friends, talk about connecting more deeply with the natural world. How can understanding our relationship to plants and nonhuman beings change the way we see ourselves, our role on Earth, and provide a gateway into deeper contact with Mystery?

Ep. 1: Fighting the Mystery
This first episode serves as an introduction to thinking about the Mystery, or at least one way of thinking of it, as all of that which is unknown to us. Reckoning with the unknown is a task that is integral to living well, and one that foils us time and again. We get stuck often due to our hunt for security, which we can end up closing us off to our lives, new experiences, and the inevitability of change. I explore this stuckness both as it occurs in individuals somatically and psychologically, and also as it occurs in modern Western culture.
