The Positive Head Podcast

Brandon and Erica have a conversation on the important topic of physical health, attempting to separate fact from fiction in the sea of contradictory information out there and touching on obvious topics such as natural diets and exercise, as well as less apparent factors that influence our well-being like meditation and our consumption of media.

Today Brandon gets into talking about being mindful—of the present moment and our place in it, of what we say and do, and how energy affects us as well as the energy we emit into the world. Meditation, spirituality and mindful practices all converge into this basic sense of ever-present well-being and sacredness.

Brandon talks about a seldom understood and discussed concept, that conceptual understanding itself is only of relative usefulness, or the idea that intellect divorced from being and emotion keeps us locked in separation consciousness. He shares a clip from Bentinho Massaro that explores this idea in a novel way and talks about dropping "location thinking".

Ima Rose is a healer, artist, muse and mystic whose intention is to aid in the awakening of the imaginal beings of planet earth. In this episode, Ima explains how the imaginal cells in a caterpillar that ultimately help transmute it into a butterfly are analogous to the imaginal human beings on planet earth that are currently awakening to a higher spiritual calling. Ima also takes the listeners through a guided Imaginal Awakening Process meditation to help activate and awaken the Imaginal Heart, Multi-dimensionality and Divine Embodiment.

On this US Independence Day 2017, Brandon sends out some well wishes and talks about freedom, a very spiritually elevated reason for this holiday. He shares a clip by Thich Nhat Hanh on this subject and comments on it, including the role that meditation plays in helping us become free from mistaken perceptions and thus from pain.

Brandon talks about the "now" and its supreme importance from a spiritual standpoint, as the present is all that's ultimately real and it is the time and place where the full presence of Divinity can be expressed and experienced. He shares an excerpt of an Alan Watts audio clip and discusses its implications in this context.

Brandon talks about how our ever greater understandings in life help us let go of expectations and judgments about people, and he cites recent examples in his own life with friends and family that helped him and those close to him respect their differences with others and remain calm.

Brandon addresses a question from a listener about being okay with not feeling sexual desire or being single for extended periods, and hopes to remind all listeners that whatever phase we are going through in our lives, we should try to be gentle and loving with ourselves and each other.

Richard Gordon is the founder of the revolutionary healing modality Quantum Touch and he joins Brandon on the show for the second time to cover the fascinating findings outlined in his new book, The Secret Nature of Matter. In this episode, he primarily discusses the easy-to-reproduce experiments outlined in his book that clearly demonstrates that our consciousness can profoundly influence matter, and that an object charged with energy and intent can dramatically affect us physiologically in seconds.

Brandon talks about the ego, an integral but challenging parts of the human experience, and playing off of an audio clip by Osho that explores this perspective, he discusses some ways in which the ego can be a "useful fiction" in the sense that its reality is relative and transitory, and how the ego was meant to help us know ourselves.
