    Awakening Your Inner Flow: Moving With the Dance of the Soul ~ Somatic Movement Educator Laura Ward

    Talk about flow! My conversation with Laura V. Ward was enjoyable, inspiring, and opened up so many interesting avenues. Laura is – among many other things – an artisticdirector, ballet teacher, musician, choreographer, and somatic movement educator. She breathes embodiment and movement like very few people I’ve met. Join us as we explore the intersections of somatic movement, mental health, and the esoteric. We also discuss the importance of community, radical self-acceptance, and the role of movement in healing trauma. Laura shares insights on breathwork, the nature of flow, and the significance of expression in somatic practices. The conversation emphasizes the need for balance between movement and stillness, the impact of diet on mental well-being, and the importance of nurturing relationships for overall health. Laura concludes with a reminder to treat oneself with kindness and to pay attention to one's inner dialogue. NOTE: Laura guides a gentle breath/movement exercise in this episode for you to either join or skip, from 15:30 to 23:30.

    The Sacred Connection: Near-Death Experiences, Consciousness & NVC ~ NDE facilitator Cliff Green

    What if consciousness is not an accidental epiphenomenon of matter, but—just as mystics have suggested for ages—fundamental to reality itself? From this perspective, many unconventional experiences and so-called “paranormal” phenomena gain a deeply intuitive explanatory ground. Questions such as what, if anything, survives death are no longer ridiculous, but profoundly valid. In this engaging conversation, Hans van Veen and Cliff Green explore the transformative impact of near-death experiences (NDEs) and the principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Cliff shares his own childhood NDE, recounting a life-altering moment of surrender and unconditional love experienced while drowning. This encounter deeply shaped his understanding of life, relationships, and the essential role of empathy and human connection. The dialogue also explores how NVC can serve as a powerful tool for fostering deeper understanding and authentic connection, emphasizing the sacredness of shared experience and the human need for validation in communication. Cliff reflects on the challenges of integrating his NDE into everyday life and his longing to connect with others who have had similar experiences. He highlights the importance of creating safe spaces for open, non-judgmental dialogue around these profound topics. The conversation ultimately becomes a call to action: to explore our own experiences more deeply, to listen with empathy, and to help cultivate a culture of understanding, validation, and connection around near-death experiences and beyond. ------------- IANDS SWEDEN: Facebook Instagram TikTok Contact to different IANDS groups in many countries around the world: https://isgo.iands.org/local-groups/ Sharing groups and events on IANDS: https://isgo.iands.org/sharing-groups/ Find more information about near-death-experiences on IANDS: https://www.iands.org ------------- Buy me a coffee: ⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/nondualcommunication⁠⁠ ⁠⁠My meditation & audio courses on Insight Timer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My YouTube channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Logo music: gratitude to ⁠⁠⁠MeditativeTiger⁠⁠⁠ (Pixabay) © 2026 Nondualcommunication.net

    Dreaming of Jung: Buddhism & the Nondual Imagination ~ Jungian Psychotherapist Nikolaj Knub

    In this deep and wide-ranging conversation, Nikolaj (philosopher and Jungian psychotherapist) and Hans explore the living heart of Jungian psychology, dream work, and the dialogue between philosophy, spirituality, and everyday life. They dive into the power of dreams and active imagination as gateways to the unconscious, and how working consciously with images can support individuation, creativity, and emotional integration. Nikolaj shares personal reflections on his own transformational journey, including how dreams guided him through periods of uncertainty and profound self-discovery. The conversation weaves together Jungian thought and Eastern philosophies, particularly Buddhism, highlighting their shared emphasis on imagery, inner experience, and the delicate balance between ego strength and surrender to the unconscious. Together, they emphasize why working with the unconscious requires structure, grounding, and responsibility—so insight becomes embodied rather than overwhelming. I deeply enjoyed learning from and speaking with Nikolaj; I hope you will too.
