I've found that many people believing being spiritual equates to being soft, sensitive and warm all the time.

This is a big mistake, and we can't confuse timeless spiritual wisdom with these personality traits.

How to remain present, centred and happy when your to-do list is full.

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.

Today I’m sharing my view on how meditation can inform psychotherapy and take it to the next level.

This isn’t only important if you are a therapist of any kind, or a patient, but also if you’re just a growing human being.

We’ll also delve into the insight that is fundamental to any effort at personal transformation.

Today I discuss how I beat boredom forever.

We discuss the problem of boredom and how it’s getting worse.

We’ll talk about how it’s a vicious cycle that can lead you to dark places.

We’ll look at why we feel bored.

And I’ll tell you the methods I’ve used to beat boredom for good.

These can help you dramatically improve the quality of your life.

You’ll start to savour and even crave moments of low stimulation, and feel the release that comes when you go into them.

Let's talk about the Zone of Genius.

In my previous episode we spoke about the Zone of Excellence and the upsides and downsides to it. This is when we feel unfulfilled, unappreciated and uninspired in our work.

We concluded there is an greater level of work we can attain: the Zone of Genius.

Know that this is a potentially life-changing move. It can dramatically impact your work, creativity, finances and fulfilment.

Don't take it too seriously, nor too lightly. Both will block your progress.

Here's the Sasaki Roshi quote: "All your problems go back to your belief that you have a self. There is no thing called a self."

Today, we’re going to discuss the Zone of Excellence.

If you feel unfulfilled in your life, unappreciated at work, not fulfilling your potential, it may be because you’re stuck in your Zone of Excellence. You haven’t yet discovered or developed your Zone of Genius.

We’re going to help you uncover whether you’re languishing in this zone.

If you realise that you are, get excited, because we’re going to explore what comes after the ZoE and help you move into it/

Today I want to share how taking acid has changed me.

Psychedelic drugs aren’t just about seeing stuff or having a good time. If you use them with the right intention and in the right setting, they are powerful and transformative.

I share my deepest psychedelic experiences and how they've transformed my life.

Most people know, at least as an idea, that meditation is transformative. We’ve all heard snippets of scientific studies, most people have tried it at some point, you might have a friend who is a meditator.

But what’s not talked about are the downsides, and the students in my local classes have been bringing this particular downside up quite often. It inspired me to do an episode on it.

This isn’t just a downside. It’s not all doom and gloom! It’s actually a great strength and a sign you’re making progress. But I want you to be aware of it so you can anticipate it as your meditation journey progresses.
