The Alchemical Mind episodes

  • Gratitude And Mindfulness (Guided Meditation)

    There's a lot of focus on various different kinds of meditation practices, but have you ever considered one of the simplest and often most rewarding for your every day happiness? On this episode, I bring you a guided gratitude meditation which I just made available on the Patreon exclusive "Living Mindfulness" course, but I felt that it was important enough to share on the public feed as well.  Let me know if you include gratitude meditation in your personal practice.

    • Symbology 101: The Sacred Cow As The Mother Of Mythology

      Welcome to the first installment of Symbology 101, a series into which I dive deep into the symbols that create cultures and expand ideas.


      For this first installment, I dive deep into the sacred cow (and bull) and its importance within Indo-European civilization and how it has shaped our cultures, religions, and philosophies for millenia as the mother of all mythology. I dive into various aspects of the sacred cow in Hindu, Greek, Roman, Celtic and Germanic cultures, before heading to Persia to establish the symbolic link between astro-theology, history, and the influence of the Zoroastrian religion as we begin to dive into it over the next few episodes.

      • Terence McKenna On Surrendering And Finding Your Path

        For this episode, I bring you a short speech from Terence McKenna on the importance of surrendering and finding your own path, as an addendum to the discussion from the previous two episodes on learning to be honest with yourself and others. Stick around to the end of the speech for some commentary from myself as well as some announcements for what's coming up for the show in the coming week.

        • The Shadow Outside Your Window And How To Be Honest With Others

          As a follow up to the previous episode, I discuss how to use the techniques of shadow work to learn to be honest with others in order to achieve wholeness and further your own personal development. If you really want to learn that you are it, your really need to expand your own practice beyond the standard techniques of meditation, yoga, and self-inquiry and learn to use those techniques to deal with friends, family, and others around you.
