Overcoming this self bias is the first step towards healthy relationships and deep self-awareness.

There is so much confusion around the Christian cross and what it means.

In this episode, I discuss why it is really a pointer to your true self, your inner christ.

I am not a Christian, but I have deep respect for and affinity with the symbolism and pointers of Christianity.

We are ALL overthinkers, I guarantee it, so how do we work with our overthinking?

In mediation, we train ourselves to dissolve our addiction to overthinking, and we destroy its power over us.

We realise we are something much deeper, more fundamental and more peaceful than our thinking mind.

I find Ken Wilber’s theory on the shadow to be refreshing, modern and complete.

It far eclipses Freud’s theory, which focuses on childhood dysfunctions and tries to reduce all later dysfunction to it.

It’s also more complete than Jung’s theory, in my opinion.

It offers a complex, nuanced, yet intuitive explanation of how shadow forms throughout our lives and what we can do about it.
