In this episode of The Smoosh Podcast, Melis and Ben reflect on the unseen ripple effects we each create through our presence and actions. Prompted by Ben’s recent attendance at a memorial service, we explore the power of everyday interactions, the balance between doing and being, and how our nervous systems and intentions shape the field around us. Touching on Gestalt, Hakomi, Buddhism, Taoism, and embodied wisdom, this is a tender, thoughtful conversation about legacy, interconnectedness, and what it means to live consciously in a world of increasing complexity.

Notes:

We mention several books that are rippling through our psyches.

The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. Melis listened to this a little while ago. Ben’s turn!

Irreducible by Federico Faggin on consciousness quantum physics and spiritual awakening. You had me at qualia.

Active Hope by Joanna Macy. The subtitle of the book sums it up nicely: How to Face the Mess We're in without Going Crazy.
