When you dedicate yourself to one thing, the lessons learnt begin to help you with everything.

In this episode I discuss the quote by Miyamoto Musashi 'If you know the way broadly you will see it in all things' - applying the lessons I have learnt in martial arts, poetry, meditation, chess and life to one another, discussing the intersection between them all, as well as some of the implications and takeaways of 'knowing the way'.

I also discuss how there is a silver lining to be found in setback, injury, and illness - if we know how to look for it.

The moment we label something, it is limited. The label isn’t the truth, it is a representation of, it’s a finger pointing to the moon, it is a suggestion of possibility that always falls short of reality.

In this episode I share the following poem and muse about its implications, leaving you with the spiritual practice of looking beyond the label, to see what it is pointing to, pulling it all the way back to the core, to consciousness.

all labels
are an abstraction
of form

baring one;
consciousness

In this session I share the audio from my presentation in the Breaking Boxes ‘Power Of Connection Summit’, where I joined seven other presenters over two days to talk on all things connection.

This session begins with a brief introduction of myself and my work, followed by a long form guided meditation/introspection, were we look inwards and begin to heal, reconnect and integrate with parts of ourselves that may have been impacted by trauma.

Warning: this session may be challenging to some listeners, so please sure your supports and self-care is in place prior to listening.

Life will shoot us with the first arrow - these are real injuries, setbacks, losses and pain.

But the greater cause of our suffering comes form ‘the second arrow’ - the fear, anxieties, ruminations, and other internal mechanisations that we dwell upon.

In this episode I discuss the concept of the second arrow, as well as how we can use it to eliminate significant amounts of excess (and useless) suffering.

What if you were to give thanks in advance for the wonderful things that were going to happen? - And what if you used that question to reframe your gratitude practice into the future?

This is the story of a dark night of the soul, of traversing the depths of despair, and of rebirth.

It is the story of transformation from a shadow version of myself into my embodied fullness.

It is the story of reintegration with my body after years of trauma, and of letting go of old wounds and identities that no longer serve me.

It is a story of reframing my inner world, from victim hood into strength.

It is a story of how I am now hunting my own shadow.
