Heartwood is the central supporting pillar of certain trees. Although dead, it won’t decay or lose strength while the outer, living layers are intact. Composed of fibers bound together by a chemical glue called lignin, heartwood can be as strong as steel. This element of a tree’s structure enables it to survive nature’s travails. When Paul encouraged the Colossians to live a resurrected life, he could have used the metaphor of heartwood to express how those who have been saved, are transformed. “For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). While Paul’s reference to us as “dead” might seem discouraging, when understood from the perspective of the resurrection we grasp the hope of such a statement. God transforms the dead core of our beings, strengthening us in the power of the resurrected Jesus to endure the trials of this life. Our prior inner beings are as dead as the heartwood of a tree. Yet we still exist as the unique people God created us to be—and more. We’re made new (Revelation 21:5). We’re new creatures in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). In Jesus “we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). We see a living example of how the structure of trees represents our life in Christ. Thanks be to God for transforming us from death to life!

Living the life of your dreams is very hard work.Paul believes much of that hard work comes from being open (and brave) to listen to new and different ideas — things you may never have considered before — then testing them in your own laboratory of daily living to see if they're true and they work for you.Having the courage to explore and refine your life by doing the hard work of letting go of the stuff that isn't working for you and choosing to allow the new in is a recurring theme in this week's Spirit Gym conversation with Erick Godsey, a Master Coach and teacher of myth, science and philosophy. Remember, the best teachers you'll ever have are the ones who are always challenging you to be your best you, not a clone or cult member!Curious to read more after Paul's conversation with Erick?

Sacred Window Podcast: Nurturing Awareness in Postpartum Care
The first week after birth is unlike any other time in a person's life. It is a season of profound openness—when the body, mind, and spirit are especially receptive to gentle, intentional care.In this conversation, Christine Eck is joined by Charlotte Senseney-Sternkind, founding instructor at the Center for Sacred Window Studies and expert in Ayurvedic postpartum bodywork, to explore the ancient practice of Marma Therapy and why it is uniquely suited to support the earliest days of the postpartum journey.Together, they discuss how conscious touch can help regulate the nervous system, encourage deep rest, balance the heightened Vata qualities present after birth, and create a sense of safety and grounding during one of life's most transformative transitions. Charlotte also shares how Marma Therapy works with the body's subtle energy points to support healing in a way that is both gentle and deeply restorative.Whether you're a postpartum professional, birth worker, Ayurvedic practitioner, or an expectant parent wanting to better understand the sacred postpartum window, this episode offers timeless wisdom on the healing power of presence, touch, and slowing down. In this episode, you'll learn:• What Marma Therapy is and how it differs from massage• Why the first week postpartum is an especially important time for gentle therapeutic touch• How Marma Therapy helps calm the nervous system and support emotional and physical recovery• The Ayurvedic understanding of Vata after birth and why balancing it matters• How conscious touch can become a meaningful part of postpartum care for families and practitioners alikeIf this conversation inspires you to deepen your understanding of postpartum care, explore the Center for Sacred Window Studies' professional training programs, where Charlotte teaches Conscious Touch for Postpartum, including Marma Therapy, practitioner-given Abhyanga, infant Abhyanga, lymphatic support, and other restorative Ayurvedic bodywork practices.Because when we honor the sacred first days after birth, we create the conditions for healing that can ripple through a lifetime.Bio:Charlotte is a founding instructor of the Center for Sacred Window Studies. She was led to this work by Spirit as she came up with a business name during meditation. The teacher who trained her called one day and said she had been informally calling her students Ayurdoulas. That is how her deeper journey as a postpartum doula began after years of being a birth doula and prenatal massage therapist. She fully believes in supporting the mama and her experience of growing, birthing and nurturing life on this earth. Charlotte loves seeing how even the simplest shift can add sweetness to the mama's Sacred Window and put a smile on her face in the midst of changes. Charlotte lives in San Antonio, TX. Charlotte retired from teaching at the Center for Sacred Window Studies at the end of 2025. Her impact and her devotion to this Center is ongoing.

Composed in the 13th century, The Heavenly Shādhilī Wisdom is a collection of concise yet profound sayings and teachings from the renowned Moroccan saint, Imam Abū al-Ḥasan al-Shādhilī. These timeless insights have long served as guiding lights for seekers of truth across generations and cultures. In this special session, Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi presents his new English translation of this spiritual masterpiece, offering reflections on the enduring legacy of Imam Abū al-Ḥasan and its relevance in the modern world. With both scholarly precision and spiritual depth, this event will explore how these teachings speak to the contemporary search for meaning, balance, and inner stillness.

Sacred Window Podcast: Nurturing Awareness in Postpartum Care
What becomes possible when we begin to see postpartum care not as a luxury, but as an essential part of community health?In this thoughtful roundtable conversation, Christine is joined by Conscious Postpartum Caregivers Ayana Muhammad and Brooke Conroy to explore how ancient postpartum wisdom can work alongside modern social services to better support mothers, babies, and families.Together, they reflect on their experiences serving diverse communities, the gaps that exist in postpartum care, and why so many families are left to navigate one of life's greatest transitions without meaningful support. They discuss the opportunity to weave holistic postpartum care, rooted in Ayurveda and the Universal Mother Principles, into systems that already serve families through social work, nonprofit organizations, and community-based programs. This conversation is an invitation to think beyond individual caregiving and toward collective transformation. If we want healthier families, stronger communities, and more resilient generations, postpartum must become part of the conversation wherever care is offered.Whether you are a social worker, birth professional, nonprofit leader, healthcare provider, or someone who simply believes every family deserves to be supported after birth, this episode offers both inspiration and practical possibilities for the future of postpartum care. In this episode, we explore:Why postpartum planning is so often overlooked despite careful birth planning.The unique role social workers and community organizations can play in postpartum healing.How Ayurvedic postpartum care complements existing support systems.The importance of culturally responsive, relationship-centered caregiving.Serving families through collaboration rather than isolated services.Building stronger communities by honoring the sacred postpartum window. At the Center for Sacred Window Studies, we believe that when we care for mothers with presence, nourishment, and consciousness, we change far more than one postpartum experience. We strengthen families, communities, and future generations.Thank you for joining us as we continue expanding awareness, education, and access to informed postpartum care worldwide.If this conversation resonates with you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who is helping shape the future of family care.

Sacred Window Podcast: Nurturing Awareness in Postpartum Care
What if preparing for birth meant more than packing a hospital bag or creating the perfect birth plan?In this heartfelt episode of the Sacred Window Podcast, Christine Devlin Eck welcomes postpartum doula, childbirth educator, prenatal yoga teacher, and infant loss doula Marissa Mignone for a conversation about the deeper dimensions of birth preparation. After supporting families for over a decade, Marissa shares how becoming a mother transformed not only her personal experience of birth and postpartum, but also the way she supports others.

If you follow politics at all, your head must be on a swivel (and hurting) with all of the upheaval going in America and abroad. In many cases, promises were made but not kept which may be making you rethink some of your recent choices at the ballot box and even squirm a bit.Comedian JP Sears dissects these recent events and, like the deft, wise humorist he is, reminds us that giving our power as citizens way too easily on promises not delivered makes us the punchline of the joke, a lesson all of us can learn from as we create a better destiny for ourselves and the world this week on Spirit Gym.Learn more about JP and his work on his website.

What if your legal career didn't have to feel like a grind, you just survive? In this episode, you'll learn how to pause time, beat burnout, and intentionally design a solo practice and life that actually fit you. In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Wendy Meadows discuss: “Forever is composed of nows,” and pausing time Journaling, gratitude, and intentionally replaying “yesterday” Leaving litigation for mediation and coaching lawyers Burnout vs. a career that no longer fits Young lawyers, work-life integration, and treating yourself as the CEO Key Takeaways: Being fully present in the “now” moments of your day is how you ultimately shape the career and life you'll look back on. Simple reflection practices like journaling about “what was great about yesterday” can anchor gratitude and reduce the feeling of life rushing by. Leaving litigation or a firm isn't always about hating the work; sometimes it's about aligning with a role and business model that feels ethical, sustainable, and enjoyable. Burnout will recur over a career, but recognizing your personal warning signs and having tools—like movement, boundaries, and intentional scheduling—can shorten its duration and impact. Treating yourself as the CEO of your practice (and life) means owning the decisions, direction, and standards, rather than passively letting circumstances or other people steer you.

Sacred Window Podcast: Nurturing Awareness in Postpartum Care
Many postpartum professionals complete their training feeling excited and equipped with practical skills, only to discover that some of the most challenging aspects of the work emerge once they begin supporting families in real-life situations.In this solo episode, Christine Devlin Eck explores five important areas that many postpartum trainings don't fully prepare caregivers for: holding emotional and mental health weight, managing their own nervous system and burnout, navigating boundaries with clients, witnessing trauma without absorbing it, and building confidence in the business side of postpartum care.Drawing from over a decade of experience as a postpartum doula, educator, and mentor, Christine shares how Ayurvedic postpartum care and the Universal Mother Principles offer practical frameworks for creating sustainable, grounded, and compassionate caregiving practices.Whether you're a postpartum doula, birth worker, caregiver, or someone considering entering the field, this conversation offers valuable insights into what it truly takes to support families while also caring for yourself.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why emotional and mental health challenges can feel overwhelming for new caregivers• How understanding scope of practice helps prevent burnout and compassion fatigue• The role of Ayurveda in supporting both caregivers and postpartum families• How healthy boundaries create stronger client relationships• Ways to witness trauma without carrying it as your own• Why community and professional networks are essential in postpartum work• How self-trust and confidence develop through clarity, mentorship, and experience• The importance of creating a sustainable and balanced caregiving businessIf this episode resonates with you, share it with a fellow postpartum professional or someone passionate about supporting families during the Sacred Window.-Begin your own journey into nourishment and postpartum wisdom:https://sacredwindowstudies.com/free-cookbook/-Are you feeling the call to know more about Conscious Postpartum Care?Reach out!

We are starting something new. Hagios Biblios kicks off with The Story of Scriptures, and it begins with something worth sitting with: the Bible is unlike anything else ever written. Composed over centuries, across continents, through dozens of authors, it carries a single unified message that holds together with remarkable coherence.Differences in time, culture, language, and perspective could not fracture it. Every page, every thread, every story consistently points to one central person: Jesus Christ. And behind it all is a God willing to speak through real people, real history, and real stories, breathing His truth into human experience so that we could know Him.Hit play and share this episode with someone who needs a fresh encounter with why the Bible is worth everything.

He was blind. He was self-taught. And for nearly thirty years he stood on a sidewalk on 6th Avenue in Manhattan dressed like a Viking — cloak, horned helmet, spear — while the city hurried past and called him a curiosity.His name was Moondog. What almost no one rushing by understood was that the man on the corner was a serious composer, building orchestral works in his head and on paper, year after year, whether or not anyone stopped to listen.This week on The Mortals, I tell his story — and what a man who wrote symphonies on a street corner can teach the rest of us about mortality, dignity, and refusing to die with the music still inside you.

The state of public education is a mess. At the heart of it is a real struggle about a fundamental question: How much tech should our kids be exposed to daily in the classroom?Contrary to what parents have been told by public schools nationwide, there is no single one-size-fits-all solution for kids and that includes the use or non-use of tech tools like artificial intelligence (AI) in classrooms.Also, did those high-tech school districts warn you your kid's basic math skills would erode so much that she/he would be tethered to a tech device for the rest of their lives?Priten Soundar-Shah, author of Ethical Ed Tech: How Educators Can Lead on AI and Digital Safety in K-12, shares a better way forward based on the intelligent and deliberate use of technology that fosters better engagement in our public schools this week on Spirit Gym.

BGMania B-Sides #49 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth turns his attention to Terranigma, the beloved Super Nintendo action RPG developed by Quintet and published by Enix. Requested and curated by Executive Producer Xancu, this episode celebrates one of the most cherished hidden gems of the 16-bit era. While Terranigma never received an official North American release, its ambitious storytelling, memorable world-building, and emotional soundtrack have earned it a passionate following among RPG fans for decades. As the penultimate installment of the B-Sides series before it reaches its conclusion with Episode #50, this episode serves as both a tribute to a remarkable game and a reminder of the many overlooked soundtracks that have found a home on the show. Composed by Miyoko Takaoka and Masanori Hikichi, Terranigma's music effortlessly captures the wonder of creation, the weight of loss, and the excitement of exploration through a diverse collection of melodies that remain just as powerful today as they were in 1995.

Episode #427 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth present the first ever proper "Bedroth Blind Listen", or more simply, Blind Listen. This format has been explored previously on the show, most recently to kick off this year during our focus on the Octopath Traveler 0 episode, but we're fully committing to it now as a very regular theme. To begin, Bryan has brought Yoshi and the Mysterious Book for Bedroth to react to, a game that he recently finished and enjoyed the hell out of. Composed solely by Kumi Tanioka, this soundtrack has a nice mix of styles while keeping it very rooted in the Yoshi and Nintendo universe. Let us know what you think of this concept if it's the first time you're hearing this format!

Amrita Chowdhury and Ujaan Ghosh bring into English for the first time a long-inaccessible masterpiece of South Asian literature Baidehisha Bilasa: The Amorous Plays of Sita's Husband (2025). Composed in the late seventeenth century by Upendra Bhanja — the Odia prince-poet hailed as Kavi Samrat, the Emperor of Poets — the work is a Ramayana that privileges shringara, the erotic sentiment, over martial heroism. Rama-the-lover overshadows Rama-the-warrior, and his conjugal life with Sita takes center stage in a poem dense with puns, classical ragas, and chitrapadya — word-arrangements that resolve into wheels, chariots, and arrows on the page. Famously, every verse begins with the letter ba, and the text has long been considered untranslatable. With a preface by Wendy Doniger, Chowdhury and Ghosh's decade-long translation preserves the strangeness and sensuality of the original while opening it to a new readership.

Have you been running away from your shadow self for so long you no longer remember why?Too many people attempt to escape from their shadow selves out of fear and a lack of understanding that acknowledging their shadow is a structural feature of an individuated psyche and a reservoir of vital energy that can help you grow into the adult you're meant to be.If you've been struggling to find a path forward, Paul shares the benefits of shadow work and explains why doing it consistently over a lifetime can transform your life this week on Spirit Gym.Check out the PDF Paul created that accompanies this episode to help you better understand shadow work.Timestamps5:00 True shadow work is a lifetime process that never ends.15:08 Managing your shadow work by better managing your health and breathing.21:47 Your shadow: The price of having a definitive identity.28:35 “The pull between consciousness and shadow is what makes psychological growth possible at all.”38:16 “If you're not working with your shadow consciously with legitimate spiritual intent and doing the work properly, it will project itself outward.”44:03 The collective unconscious.50:43 Doing your shadow work goes a long way toward lessening your judgement of others.56:03 Hyperstition.1:03:27 To think holistically, always ask yourself, “Is it true?”1:11:06 What is your secret story?1:21:54 The shadow: A hyperstitional structure.1:31:36 Break hyperstitional patterns with these exercises.1:44:20 You can't have consciousness without a positive and a negative.1:49:15 Your stories are connected to events and the shadow work you do.ResourcesEgo and Archetype by Edward EdingerThe numinousThe work of Swami Vivekananda, Carl Jung, Dean Radin, Dr. Larry Dossey, Murray Stein, Edgar Cayce and Nick LandHow to Eat, Move and Be Healthy!When God Was a Woman by Merlin StonePaul's podcast conversations with James Hollis, Jonathan Bluestein and James CarsePaul's solocast on Lucifer, Christ and AhrimanNonviolent Communication: The Basics As I Know and Use Them by Wayland MyersThe Evolution of Love From Quarks to Culture: The Rise of Evolutionary Relationships in Response to the Meta-Crisis by Dr. Marc GafniFind more resources for this episode on our website.Music Credit: Meet Your Heroes (444Hz), Composed, mixed, mastered and produced by Michael RB Schwartz of Brave Bear MusicThanks to our awesome sponsors:PaleovalleyBIOptimizers US and BIOptimizers UK PAUL15Organifi CHEK20Wild PasturesPique LifeSpirit GymCHEK InstituteWe may earn commissions from qualifying purchases using affiliate links.
BGMania B-Sides #48 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth shines a spotlight on Beyond the Labyrinth, the Nintendo 3DS dungeon crawler developed by tri-Ace and published by Konami. Despite never receiving an official release outside of Japan, the game has developed a reputation among soundtrack enthusiasts thanks to its remarkable score, which blends sweeping orchestral arrangements, haunting melodies, and a sense of mystery that perfectly complements its fantasy setting. Beyond the Labyrinth may be a relatively obscure title, but its music is anything but forgettable. Composed by the legendary Motoi Sakuraba, the soundtrack showcases many of the qualities that have made him one of the most celebrated composers in video game music, from intricate compositions and dramatic flourishes to moments of surprising beauty and restraint. Whether you're already familiar with the game or discovering it for the first time, there's plenty here to appreciate as we explore a soundtrack that deserves far more attention than it has received. Email the show at bgmaniapodcast@gmail.com with requests for upcoming episodes, questions, feedback, comments, concerns, or any other thoughts you'd like to share! Special thanks to our Executive Producers: Jexak, Xancu, Jeff & Mike.

Entirely unreleased, undeniably funky techno. Charles Accarisi, AKA Chlär, treats techno like a science. From his earliest days as an audio engineer, the Lisbon-via-Switzerland artist has approached techno with the precision of a seasoned experimentalist, dissecting our love of listening to kick drums in dark, sweaty clubs down to its very bones. Before launching his label, Primal Instinct, in 2023, he dug deep, building its foundation on neuroscience studies exploring syncopation and bass frequencies. Yet, for all its academic rigor, Accarisi's music remains incredibly funky. You can hear this endless pursuit of groove in his DJ sets. His productions flit across the techno continuum with similar versatility. One minute, as half of Funk Assault, he's flipping a Beastie Boys vocal into a 140-BPM weapon; the next, he aims straight for the head, trading peak-time bacchanalia for the haunted hypnotism of the afterhours. RA 1041 is all of this and more. Composed entirely of unreleased tracks, it delivers 70 minutes of heads-down techno in its purest form. It's heavy and dark, for sure, but undeniably swung, seamlessly bridging dub techno and sweat-inducing hardgroove throwbacks. This is contemporary techno synthesized by a master chemist.

Once upon a time not so very long ago, artificial intelligence (AI) was a product of speculative science fiction, especially in films from Metropolis to Blade Runner.Today, AI has so infiltrated our daily lives, the thought of not having access to Google or other AI-driven apps on our mobile phones and computers scares the crap out of a lot of people.

If someone asked you about your personal cosmology — who are you, why are you here and what is your role on our planet — what would you tell them? Or, more to the point, could you really answer the question?For best-selling author Mark Gober, it took years for him to understand the huge gap between following a personal cosmology that was nihilistic, random, superficial and meaningless and living an intentional one that embraces Spirit and the divine in all of us. A decade passed before Mark was ready for his first plant medicine ceremony, and the healing work he did on developing his personal cosmology made all of the difference in creating a positive, intimate experience that keeps on delivering insights. Join Mark and Paul on a journey of discovery and lasting growth with help from plant medicines and learn why a personal cosmology matters this week on Spirit Gym.Check out Mark and his work on his website and on social media via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube and Telegram.Timestamps3:46 Does our intellect or something in our biology block us being receptive to our natural state, especially as we age?12:23 How plant medicines reconnect us to the various aspects of ourselves.15:20 Amnesia is built into the human experience (with a large dose of ignorance thrown in).22:27 Ibogaine: A medicine that loves through truth, even when it is painful.31:12 Mark meets ibogaine.44:00 It took a decade for Mark to be ready for his first plant medicine ceremony.46:55 Mark's four intentions going into his first plant medicine ceremony.1:05:31 Self-betrayal: A form of self-loathing that our society trains us to do.1:09:35 Ancestral trauma, underlying terror and catastrophic thinking.1:17:27 “Whenever we heal for ourselves, we're really healing for our family.”1:26:54 The purpose of existence and authenticity is the only game in town.1:32:07 A sign Mark was tapping into his divine guidance before his plant medicine ceremony: Writing a book about it.ResourcesAn End to the Upside Down Cosmos by Mark GoberFind more resources for this episode on our website.Music Credit: Meet Your Heroes (444Hz), Composed, mixed, mastered and produced by Michael RB Schwartz of Brave Bear MusicThanks to our awesome sponsors:PaleovalleyBIOptimizers US and BIOptimizers UK PAUL15Organifi CHEK20Wild PasturesPique LifeCHEK InstituteWe may earn commissions from qualifying purchases using affiliate links.
