ASTRAL PROJECTION, BREATHARIANISM & CONSCIOUSNESS W/ RYAN CROPPER | SOC PODCAST EPISODE #25

Welcome to the Spoon of Consciousness Podcast - this channel is dedicated to helping you along your journey of spiritual awakening and personal development with podcasts about astral projection, consciousness, spirituality & much much more!

In this episode my guest Ryan and I talk about astral projection, consciousness and the breatharian culture. You may recognise Ryan from his awesome YouTube channel (link below) where he shares many more of his teachings.

Personally I don't have much experience with astral projection so I asked Ryan how to astral project? What is astral projection? How do we define astral projection , if at all? I was also fascinated and intrigued with breatharianism, the main question I had was what is breatharianism?

who are breatharians? And why be a breatharian? What is a breatharian? Ryan gave us a 101 of breatharianism explained and definitely allowed me to better define breatharianism. Ryan also talked through the similarities and differences between lucid dreaming and astral projection and gave another 101 of lucid dreaming explained.

Again, I haven't had much experience with these types of spiritual practices, so I'm interested to know what are your experiences with lucid dreaming? How do you define a lucid dream? These are the questions I like to discuss and see if we can get consciousness defined - somehow.

I hope you enjoyed this episode of the Spoon of Consciousness Podcast and please let me know if you want to see more podcasts about astral projection in the future. On that note I'd like to ask you how you interpret the human consciousness? What do these terms mean to you, like consciousness?

I'm interested to know your thoughts here, how do you explain consciousness? What would you like to see more of on this podcast? Do you enjoy listening to consciousness podcast like these?

SHAMANISM, SPIRITUALITY & BOUNDARIES W/ SARAH HALL | SOC PODCAST EPISODE #24

Welcome to the Spoon of Consciousness Podcast - this channel is dedicated to helping you along your journey of spiritual awakening and personal development with podcasts about spirituality, entrepreneurship and much much more.

In this episode I talk with Sarah about shamanism, communicating with angels and how to set emotional boundaries. This was a great conversation that required us to define shamanism, identifying shaman culture and asking the question what is a shaman?

It would be quite difficult to identify shaman in this day and age because it's an ancient culture but identifying shaman culture can be made easier when we understand what it means to define shamanism.

This is one of the more spiritual podcasts where we define spirituality from both of our perspectives. Podcasts on spirituality can be quite broad but in this episode we touched on some great topic, one of which was setting emotional boundaries.

I have found it difficult to set emotional boundaries in the past but Sarah helps us to define emotional boundaries and how empath emotional boundaries can be hard to set. I'm interested to know your thoughts - what is an emotional boundary to you? How could emotional boundaries explained help you along your journey?

Steve is the CEO of The Ascent publication hosted here on medium and in this episode we talked about entrepreneurship, what it’s like to work alongside the legend Gary Vaynerchuk and business development.

I thoroughly enjoyed our chat and this one is definitely worth a watch if you’re a Vayniac or part of the Vayner Nation because Steve drops some gems he picked up from Gary Vaynerchuk over the years.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, FAKE SPIRITUALITY & HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS W/ ADELLE RAMCHARAN | SOC PODCAST #22

Welcome to the Spoon of Consciousness Podcast - this channel is dedicated to helping you along your journey of spiritual awakening and personal development with podcasts about spiritual awakening, spirituality, wisdom and much much more.

In this episode Adelle Ramcharan and I go deep into how we define fake spirituality and how this fake spirituality seen has changed our perspective on its definition. Adelle is an entrepreneur, but I didn't want to make this an entire entrepreneurship podcast because she has so much knowledge to share.

We explain higher consciousness and speak about how we've previously tried to identify higher consciousness in our lives and what it's done for us. Adelle helped me to make this one of those podcasts about dropping knowledge because she has so much to share - maybe now this is one of those wisdom podcasts?

I'm interested to know your thoughts, do you think we can identify higher consciousness, can we explain higher consciousness? When has fake spirituality seen affected your life? Would you like to see & hear more podcasts about higher consciousness, podcasts about spirituality and podcasts about personal development? I want to know how you define spirituality and how would you explain spirituality to someone else? Or how would you explain higher consciousness?

ETYMOLOGY, AWAKENING & THE TRUTH W/ UPLIFTING HUMANITY | SOC PODCAST EPISODE #21

Welcome to the Spoon of Consciousness Podcast - this channel is dedicated to helping you along your journey of spiritual awakening and personal development with podcasts about mindfulness, spirituality, yoga and many more topics.

In this episode I dive deep with my guest UpLiftingHumanity (also known as Billy) into the topic of etymology. Etymology actually means the study of the truth but we know it to be the origin of words. More specifically we talk about the origin of english words and the impact they have on us.

It was great to have etymology explained by someone who is proficient with etymology basics in a way that can expose things like the truth about the government and why words impact us the way they do.

We also talked about some spiritual awakening basics and had the opportunity to have kundalini awakening explained in a way I could understand - which is extremely valuable. This wasn't just another one of those podcasts about the government or conspiracy theories - we got really deep into some very helpful knowledge.

I'd like to know your thoughts on this etymology podcast - what do you think about the way words are used? Do you think they affect the way we think and behave?

If you'd like to see more podcasts about etymology, podcasts about the truth, podcasts about meditation, podcasts about higher consciousness, podcasts about meditation or podcasts about spirituality please subscribe and share these videos around.

TALKING RELATIONSHIPS W/ ANAIYA SOPHIA

Welcome to the Spoon of Consciousness Podcast - this channel is dedicated to helping you along your journey of spiritual awakening and personal development with podcasts about relationships, podcasts about sexuality & so much more.

Today's episode is a little different, I talk with my friend Anaiya about relationships and we get into some popular topics that we've encountered - particularly with young people seeking spiritual relationship advice.

To be honest I haven't watched or listened to many podcasts about promiscuity or spiritual sex advice and I thought Anaiya would be the best person to speak with about these topics as she is a gnostic of the Christian path who gives sexuality advice regularly.

We talked about how to attract a relationship as well as other pressing issues like can you be promiscuous and spiritual. This is a huge question for me personally and so many others I've spoken with who are seeking spiritual sex advice.

I'm interested to know your thoughts - are spirituality and promiscuity mutually exclusive? How do we go about identifying promiscuity in our lives? Who can identify promiscuity for us? Would we allow the outside world to define our habits?

Let me know if you'd like to see more podcasts about promiscuity and podcasts about relationships where we can all learn from the expert spiritual advice Anaiya shares with us.

Andrea is a writer and contributor for the Huffington Post, we talked about her journey with mental health, meditation and how writing has helped her with overcoming addiction.

We talked about identifying mental health problems and explain mindfulness effects on the body and mind & how it can help work through some issues we all face.

This is a spirituality podcasts that can help others along their journeys by speaking about what has helped us with our problems with identifying anxiety, identifying depression and overcoming addiction.

I haven't done many podcasts about depression or podcasts about anxiety but this episode really shed some light on these problems and how meditation podcasts can help others with their struggles with mental health.

Welcome to the Spoon of Consciousness Podcast - this channel is dedicated to helping you along your journey of spiritual awakening and personal development with podcasts about the law of attraction, spirituality, yoga and many more topics.

Ashton is a yoga teacher, writer and the founder of YogiApproved.com. In this episode we talked about the health benefits of yoga, the best way for beginners to get into the yoga lifestyle and how the practice of yoga can help us on and off the mat.

00:20 - Ashton introduces herself and her website YogiApproved.com - a great site that I also contribute to where you can find articles related to yoga and spirituality.

1:00 - How did you start the website? Ashton started out at university and once she graduated started teaching yoga. She then combined her skills writing and teaching yoga to create the online publication.

02:10 - What are the benefits of starting a yoga practice? Yoga bliss continues long after stepping off the mat, there are great physical benefits like strengthening your core and increasing your range of motion. It also helps with your mental and spiritual health - yoga teaches us that we're capable of so much more than we think.

04:15 - How important is the breath? Taking deep conscious breaths is key - taking short, shallow breaths stimulates our fight or flight response. Conscious breathing on the mat helps with movements but off the mat it helps with a wide range of problems as well as helping us to stay present.

06:25 - How has yoga helped you to manage your anxiety? Yoga can help with anxiety as a tool to deal with it. Yoga is the vehicle we use to break through the anxiety and teaches us acceptance - acceptance that we can experience anxiety from time to time but also that we can deal with it.

08:00 - Yoga poses force you to be in the present moment which can help to alleviate anxiety.

09:10 - What's the best way to start a yoga practice? Starting small is key to receiving the benefits of a yoga practice or the health benefits of yoga. Mindfulness is also an important part of a meditation or yoga journey.

11:10 - What was the idea behind starting the website? Ashton created the YogiApproved website from a personal blog to reach a wider audience.

12:30 - How did you find the entrepreneurship journey? Entrepreneurship is challenging - but anything worthwhile is! Entrepreneurship is not an easy path and everything comes back to you - the motivation is the visualisation of your future.

14:30 - How is patience in entrepreneurship? Patience and being realistic are absolutely key in the day to day challenges that arise in entrepreneurship. Being patient with ourselves is important.

16:55 - How do we deal with failures along the way? Take time to assess what we've accomplished but also take time to learn from the mistakes.

18:55 - Ashton dispels the rumour that luck is what makes success in entrepreneurship. Hard work creates the luck that helps you along this journey.

20:35 - What is your process of manifestation? Using the law of attraction, visualisations to bring things into your reality. When it comes to manifestations we need to recognise that thoughts become things. Ashton explains how to manifest using the law of attraction.

23:05 - How can we recognise the power that we have to create our reality? Start small, assess your mental habits - samscaras are the mental grooves we weave in our brains with thinking habits.

28:22 - Ashton explains the difference between Kundalini and other types of yoga. There are other types such as Vinyasa, Buti, Kundalini etc.

TRUSTING THE CURRENTS, CHANNELING & SPIRITUALITY W/ LYNNDA POLLIO | SOC PODCAST EPISODE #18

Welcome to the Spoon of Consciousness Podcast - this channel is dedicated to helping you along your journey of spiritual awakening and personal development!

Lynnda is the author of the multi-award winning book Trusting The Currents which she wrote by channeling the voice of a Southern-American woman who lived in the 1930s. We talked about her journey with spirituality, channeling and writing Trusting The Currents.

00:50 - Lynnda explains how she wrote her book: Trusting The Currents - it was channeled to her by an African-American lady from the South of America.

Trusting The Currents is embedded with energetic frequencies which brings the reader into their heart as they're reading it and helps them to look into themselves.

04:00 - Lynnda explains how the writing has energetic frequencies embedded in it - this relates to the cadence and rhythm of the sentences.

05:31 - How do you begin your spiritual path? As with many guests this started when Lynnda was very young - communicating with nature from a young age.

07:30 - Lynnda explains the initiation she went through whilst in Sedona, Arizona where she met shamans who introduced her to other concepts in spirituality that helped her to come to realisations in her own life.

09:00 - What are shamans and what do they do? Lynnda worked with native American shamans who introduced her to spirituality concepts with scorpions - she was stung by one!

12:22 - We talk about a common concept in spirituality which is called the dark night of the soul - where many of us experience a deep darkness and come out the other side with more light and learnings.

17:50 - Why do you think people are experiencing their dark nights of the soul now more so than ever? This could be part of a very large cycle that is connected to the higher consciousness.

22:20 - How quantum mechanics relates to spirituality and concepts within. Everything is energy - science and spirituality are beginning to merge because they recognise the significance of energy.

25:35 - How can we use our intuition? Disconnecting from technology is a great way to start.

30:00 - How to deal with fear - remove yourself from the emotional charge associated with the situation. You may not be fearful of the current situation - it may be a reflection of something that happened to you when you were younger.

33:30 - What is so difficult about confronting the decisions we've made? This comes from a lack of knowledge of self and using the masks we've created for ourselves to masquerade as the characters we want to be seen as.

36:10 - How vulnerability creates strength - honesty is the key to breaking the societal construct that tells us that vulnerability is a weakness.

40:00 - How can we choose the right people to reach out to during our time of vulnerability? We need to reach out to those who are generous, open and non-judgemental, but even if we do reach out to those who are not we need to acknowledge that they are not yet ready to confront themselves.

STAR TREK, ASTROPHYSICS & TECHNOLOGY W/ ETHAN SIEGEL | SOC PODCAST EPISODE #17

Welcome to the Spoon of Consciousness Podcast - this channel is dedicated to helping you along your journey of spiritual awakening and personal development!

Ethan is a theoretical astrophysicist and editor of the award-winning blog Starts With A Bang, author of Beyond the Galaxy and the upcoming book Treknology. We had a fascinating discussion about the technology in Star Trek and the applications of this technology in our lives today.

01:00 - Ethan describes his speciality in astrophysics - cosmology.

02:16 - What is your upcoming book Treknology about? Ethan enjoyed Star Trek: The Next Generation and read the book called "the physics of Star Trek" - since then many of the technologies we thought impossible have surpassed what the TV envisioned.

04:20 - Examples of the kinds of technology we've surpassed since Star Trek - communication devices, instant video chat & ipads.

11:30 - How far are we from being able to move faster than the speed of light? We need some way of deforming space for this to happen, to create a new form of matter or energy.

13:03 - Talking about the ethics of the technology shown in Star Trek with emphasis on the transporter used. If you were taken apart atom by atom and put back together in another space - would that still be you?

18:00 - The applications of human cloning & the ethics behind it - could we create an army of clones that do our bidding? In an episode of Star Trek a copy of a person was made and the copy couldn't be told apart from the original.

20:00 - We talk about how implants could be hacked by others to make people commit crimes - what evidence could there be to prove that this was a cyber crime and not of the person's own volition.

23:50 - What are the applications of normalising bodily augmentations? We have already normalised this with regards to helping those with handicaps.

27:15 - Where do we draw the line with augmenting the body? Do we try to remain human as much as possible? Would we be inclined to upload ourselves to a mechanical form of consciousness?

30:00 - Would we still experience life in the same way if we were to experience life through a machine? Ethan describes his view of taking pictures - that the picture doesn't describe the experience.

37:00 - What do you think drives our need to progress technology? We have an idea of creating a positive impact in the world to improve the quality of life for everyone.

42:25 - If we were to create a new type of energy source don't you think it would be kept a secret? Big breakthroughs such as these are difficult secrets to keep and eventually the truth will out.

44:30 - What do you think is so attractive about exploring space? Our cosmic story is what unifies us - we all come from the same place. Everything across the cosmos has the same story as us, but also we have a need to know whether or not there is intelligent life on other worlds.

48:00 - Do you think there is other life out there in the universe? The raw ingredients required to create us are spread out all over the galaxy - it's hard to imagine that we are the only life in this universe.
