Connecting a sense of stillness, quietness and solitude can be incredibly pleasurable, however it’s something we rarely encounter. In this week’s episode we explore this avoidance, and ways that we can reconnect with the stillness at our core.

Can spirituality involve thinking? Or is true spirituality a wholehearted attention on the moment, free from thought? This week’s discussion tackles the different forms spiritual practice takes.

In this week’s episode we explored the differences between rationality and emotional intelligence, and what it may look like to have a balance between the two. We also talked about what cultural factors might be at play in our ‘head over heart’ tendencies. 

This week's quote is by spiritual teacher Jack Kornfield from his classic book After the Ecstasy, the Laundry: “Without attention to our hearts we become like the generation of parents who followed popular experts in refusing to feed or pick up crying children, even though every wise instinct and cellular impulse in their body called for them to hold and comfort their child in pain.”

In this week‘s episode we explore how we choose to perceive the world: as fully figured out, or as miraculous. This was a very enjoyable one to record, it flowed nicely and resulted in a longer ep than usual!

In this week's episode we explore the potential growth in disagreement.

We’ve all experienced the power of being challenged, and yet often we choose to associate ourselves with people that mirror our own views. In this week’s episode we explore the potential of difficult discussions, where our views originate and the difference between indoctrination and truly knowing a subject.

This week's quote is by Mary Loudon from the book Revelations: “You usually learn the most from interviewing those with whom you disagree”.

Do you find yourself wanting to have it all figured out? Or would you say you live for the moment? In this week's episode we explore our tendency towards these two ways of being.

This week's quote: “It is not our goal to see what lies dimly in the distance but to do what clearly lies at hand.”

Thomas Carlisle
