    Episode 11: A Year of Calmness

    In Episode 11 of The Peacock Cometh, Alison J. Kay and David M. Kay explore why calmness isn’t something you “try harder” to get… it’s something you train, receive, and remember - especially in times of rapid change. In this episode, you’ll explore: • Why chakras are far deeper than surface-level “clearing” • Why yoga postures refresh you (even when you don’t know why) • Chanting vs. silent meditation (yin/yang mechanics) • Calmness as a devotional state you can cultivate • Why practicing calmness when life is easy matters • Expectations, unconscious storylines, and what you’re projecting onto life • Visualization: “the thing” vs. the energy behind the thing • The surprising spiritual power of embracing being wrong Chapters: 00:00 Chakras are deeper than “quick clearing” 02:10 Why yoga poses open chakras (and why you feel refreshed) 05:05 Chanting first: why it works (heart-opening + devotion) 08:20 Harmonium + fading from outer sound to inner chanting 11:05 Yin/yang mechanics: outward practice vs inward stillness 13:45 Fire Horse energy + why restlessness can spike this year 16:20 Calmness as a divine quality (the 8 aspects + how to use them) 20:10 Practice calm when life is easy (so it’s there when it’s not) 22:40 Walking meditation + “everything I hear is for me” 25:05 Embodiment: returning to the body (simple chakra anchors) 27:35 Expectations + unconscious storylines (what you’re projecting) 30:10 Visualization: don’t limit the outcome - tune into the energy 33:00 The gift of being wrong (ego softening + purification) 35:10 Consistency, momentum, and choosing what actually fits you The way to feel calmness or joy is neither a tool or a technique but a relationship to the source of all uplifted feelings that we can cultivate in various ways. One of the most effective and accessible ways is to start relating to that which we already feel. Have you felt calmness at some point in your life? Joyful? Peaceful? Wise? Then you already know and have these - it's a matter of removing the conditions and circumstances surrounding those feelings to tune into the feelings themselves which require no specific conditions or circumstances. In this entertaining episode, David and Alison dive into some different ways to think about relating to Divine aspects such as calmness, joy, peace, love and wisdom in ways that make them real and that we can incorporate into our central way of being in the world. And the closer we begin to relate to these aspects of the Divine, the less our li https://www.alisonjkay.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@AlisonJKayPhD https://davidmkay.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@iamspiritradio (David M.

    Episode 10: Fulfilled By The Sacred

    What if fulfillment has nothing to do with achievement and everything to do with the Sacred? In a world obsessed with productivity, status, and constant motion, what changes when we choose to prioritize our inner life instead? In Episode 10 of The Peacock Cometh, Alison J. Kay and David M. Kay explore spiritual fulfillment, the friendliness of change, and what becomes possible when we allow the Sacred to accompany us in our daily lives. This conversation moves beyond surface self-help and into the deeper rhythms of awakening, consciousness, and co-creation in a rapidly shifting world. Topics explored in this episode: • The friendliness of change • Spiritual practice during uncertain times • Inner fulfillment vs outer productivity • Sacred awareness in daily life • The emerging spiritual paradigm • Conscious evolution • The rhythms of awakening What does it feel like to be truly fulfilled? It is one thing to notice beauty in nature and life. It is something more to fall deeply into gratitude for the reminder that there is a sacredness that wants to live our lives with us. That wants to accompany us one our way, in every way, in everything we do, see, hear and feel. The world is changing and this change is friendly. The support of the sacred for our highest good is here. It's palpable. We need only take a moment to acknowledge and invite the Divine to join us. What if we always choose and prioritize our inner life, our inner exploration, our inner thriving and value it even more than we value the outward blessings in our lives, no matter our stage in life? In this episode Alison and David explore the rhythms of a life and what happens in our day to day existence when we prioritize and value the inner journey.

    Episode 9: The Instrument is Blessed

    In this episode: What happens when you stop trying to “figure everything out”… and instead become still enough to let grace fill the space? Alison J. Kay PhD and David M. Kay explore how spiritual practice actually pays off (often not the way the mind expects), why language sometimes falls short in new consciousness, and how the instrument (you) becomes blessed by what flows through it. When we desire to be a beneficent presence in this world, and to whatever extent we can become quiet, still and clear, then uplifted currents will flow through us and we are blessed.  In these energetically charged times the results of our spiritual practice rarely show up the way we think, but always in the way that is most useful, divinely inspired. Don't quit. Don't stop. Don't ever choose the path of not doing the practices that you know in your heart are true simply because you haven't reached an arbitrary goal that your smallest self decided needs to be reached.  In this episode of The Peacock Cometh, Alison and David talk in most encouraging terms about the payoff for even the smallest of spiritual effort and how we are seeing the essential nature of spiritual engagement for flourishing in this new paradigm.  We may not always have the exact words to clearly express the truth of expanding consciousness, but the more space we create, the more still we become, the more intuitive understanding can influence and help us grow into our potential.

    Episode 7: What Can I Give?

    In Episode 7 of The Peacock Cometh, Alison and David explore what it means to stay grounded when life is loud, busy, and demanding. And how a simple inner shift can change everything: moving from “What can I get?” to “What can I give?” Together, they unpack the difference between taking action from the mind’s right/wrong programming versus taking aligned action that begins with inner vertical connection first, and then expresses in the world. You’ll hear how many people wait for a crisis to force growth, why that’s part of an older paradigm, and what it looks like to build a life where your lessons become gentler because you’re actually listening. Alison also shares what she’s been feeling in this season of accelerated creation (that palpable stretching sensation of growth) and how this new cycle invites more willingness, more surrender, and more trust in what wants to come through you. David brings in a deeply practical lens on devotion and service: why giving feels so good, how offering your spiritual practice back to the Divine changes your relationship with transformation, and how to stay focused on what is sweet and life-giving even while the world moves through upheaval. In this episode, you’ll explore: • How to stay grounded when life feels nonstop • Why “right action” isn’t about judgment — it’s about alignment • The old paradigm of needing crisis vs. proactive spiritual growth • Why your lessons become more gentle as awareness increases • The shift from “What can I get?” to “What can I give?” • Devotion as offering: bringing your practice back to Source • A powerful teaching on attention (the Bumblebee metaphor) Sister and Brother duo and fellow yogis Alison J.
