If you are seeking information on how to balance your nervous system, watch this episode. I talk to Christine Wushke about ways to balance and integrate the body-mind system in the awakening process. 

Christine shares her awakening story and how the first big experience happened when she was only a child. She talks about her journey and what helped her in difficult moments. Today she radiates strength, warmth, femininity, compassion and willingness to serve. She is dedicated to supporting people wherever they are.

Christine Wushke is a myofascial release expert, a certified yoga therapist, a registered massage therapist and a Hakomi practitioner with over 20 years of experience. Christine runs the Journey to Light Wellness Center and is the author of the book 'Freedom is Your Nature'. Christine’s effective techniques will help you build self-awareness, interoception and, most importantly, a loving relationship with your body. Her approach to helping people live in balance with their body, mind, spirit and the world around them is informed by the Eight Limbs of classical yoga, biotensegrity, her background in myofascial release and Hakomi, the latest neurodevelopmental research coming out of the scientific community, and her compassion for her fellow humans. 

She is also passionate about making the profound benefits of mindful movement practice accessible across the diversity of human experience, including those with chronic pain, limited mobility and those who are not financially or culturally privileged.

Today I am talking to Todd and Pernille Lent Damore, a married couple, dedicated and inspired to share practical tools and teach 10 fetters in a unique way.

The teachings about the 10 fetters originate from Buddhism and are regarded as “The Noble Quest” however; you do not need to be a Buddhist to understand them or gain insight about them. You can easily learn them, reflect on them and actively make use of them in your everyday life. 

Todd and Pernille Lent Damore are working together to create The Awakening Curriculum, a comprehensive path to Awakening. Utilizing The Wheel of Identification, they use the Buddhist concept of the 10 Fetters as a practical application to wake up, moment to moment, amidst our everyday life. Together they have more than 50 years of Buddhist practice, and combine this with elements of psychology, embodied trauma release, and non-duality to help people integrate all experiences and insights into a life free from attachments, and unnecessary suffering. 

You can contact Todd and Pernille by email:

Awakening And No Self Experience With Jackson Peterson [Episode #36]

In this episode, he shares the snakes and ropes analogy as it applies to the falling away of a subconscious creation of a separate self.

BAHIYA SUTTA
In the seen, there is only the seen,
in the heard, there is only the heard,
in the sensed, there is only the sensed,
in the cognized, there is only the cognized.
Thus you should see that
indeed there is no thing here;
this, Bahiya, is how you should train yourself.
Since, Bahiya, there is for you
in the seen, only the seen,
in the heard, only the heard,
in the sensed, only the sensed,
in the cognized, only the cognized,
and you see that there is no thing here,
you will therefore see that
indeed there is no thing there.
As you see that there is no thing there,
you will see that
you are therefore located neither in the world of this,
nor in the world of that,
nor in any place
between the two.
This alone is the end of suffering.

Meet Dr Amy Johnson. In the episode, Amy shared her awakening story and together we explored what awakening is.

Your biggest problem as a seeker is that you don’t know how to stop seeking, so the seeking continues. And it shows up as thoughts and associated feelings of not enough, this is not it, there needs to be more, something better, this cannot be accepted and so on. 
And you can see these patterns play out as soon as you stop for a minute and do nothing. In the moment of listening and looking deeply at what is already here, the habitual thought patterns are clearly revealed. Something opens. And you are suddenly aware and awake.  

Amy Johnson, PhD is a psychologist, coach, author, and speaker who shares a groundbreaking new approach that helps people find lasting freedom from unwanted habits, anxiety, and self-doubt via insight rather than willpower. 

She is the author of Being Human, The Little Book of Big Change: The No-Willpower Approach to Breaking Any Habit, and Just a Thought: A No-Willpower Approach to End Self-Doubt and Make Peace with Your Mind. In 2017 she opened The Little School of Big Change, an online school that has helped thousands of people find freedom from anxiety and habits and live a more peaceful life.

Amy also shares the no-willpower approach in her top-rated podcast, Changeable, and she’s trained over 70 coaches in her Change Coach Training Program. She has been a regularly featured expert on The Steve Harvey Show and Oprah.com, as well as in The Wall Street Journal and Self magazine.
