Sadhguru delves into the deepest questions of existence—death, the afterlife, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. The conversation begins by exploring how our fear of death often robs us of truly living, and how our identification with thoughts can lead to unnecessary suffering. Sadhguru guides listeners on the pathway to becoming more conscious, challenging us to consider whether we are truly the drivers of our own lives. He discusses the ways we accumulate energy that doesn't serve us and addresses the problem of a cluttered mind. As the dialogue unfolds, Sadhguru encourages us to face the fragility of time, contemplate the mysteries of the afterlife, and find meaning in both living and dying. Andrés Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________0:00 Intro3:52 Our Fear of Death Robs us Of Life16:04 Identification with Thoughts Lead to Suffering27:30 The Pathway to Becoming Conscious36:46 Are You The Driver of Your Life?46:05 How We Accumulate Energy That's Not Serving Us52:59 The Problem of the Cluttered Mind57:43 Facing the Fragility of Time1:09:35 The Afterlife & Finding Meaning1:17:55 Mahasamadhi: Living & Dying How You Choose1:24:29 Creating Impact While Preserving Inner Peace1:30:07 Importance of Humor1:36:13 Embracing Life's Inherent Unknowns 1:47:00 The Death Process & Breaking Free from Ancestral Conditioning2:01:04 Mental Health & Miracle of Mind2:05:53 Conclusion___________Episode Resources: https://isha.sadhguru.org/us/enNew Book: https://a.co/d/421IJEUApp: https://Isha.us/miracleYThttps://www.instagram.com/sadhguru/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.comListen to the show:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4bZMq9lApple: https://apple.co/4iATICX

Send us a textEver felt like you're standing naked and alone in the middle of a field, completely exposed to the elements of life? That's exactly where Theresa Marie found herself when she decided to unplug from the matrix, leave behind her marriage, job, and family in Tennessee, and follow her intuition to Florida with nothing but a few boxes of possessions and a burning desire to live authentically.From the moment she arrived in Florida, uncertainty became her constant companion. Just four days into her adventure, she rear-ended her boss's truck in her "hippie Honda," destroying her only means of transportation and income. What followed was a cascade of challenges: locking her keys in a rental car trunk in a sketchy neighborhood at dusk, nearly staying in an extended-stay hotel surrounded by drug dealers and prostitutes, and repeatedly facing the question: "What the F am I going to do next?"Through these raw and vulnerable stories, Theresa Marie reveals how uncertainty—though terrifying—is actually the fertile ground where our most authentic selves can emerge. Drawing wisdom from Brian Greene's insight that "exploring the unknown requires tolerating uncertainty" and Tony Robbins' teaching that "the quality of your life is in direct proportion to the amount of uncertainty you can comfortably deal with," she offers a powerful reframing of life's most anxiety-inducing moments.This episode isn't just about Theresa's personal journey; it's an invitation to examine your own relationship with uncertainty. Are you fighting it or embracing it? Are you letting anxiety define you, or recognizing it as merely energy moving through your body? As Patrick Overton beautifully puts it, "When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into the darkness of the unknown, one of two things will happen: there will be something solid for us to stand on, or we will be taught to fly."Listen in and discover why, as Mandy Hale says, "When nothing is certain, anything is possible." Your greatest breakthrough might be waiting on the other side of the uncertainty you're facing right now.Support the show

Renowned creative talent Aoife Dunne graces our latest episode of the Baby Tribe Podcast, bringing her unique perspective on life, loss, and laughter. Aoife shares her compelling journey from losing her mother at a young age to stepping into a parental role for her siblings, all while challenging societal expectations around womanhood and childlessness. With humour and heart, we discuss the peculiarities of how a woman's worth is unfairly measured by her reproductive choices. We explore the trials she faced growing up in a vegetarian household in 1980s Ireland, her experiences with societal norms, and the lessons of empathy and understanding from her unconventional upbringing. Through these stories, we uncover the raw and real emotions of navigating familial roles after loss, the stigma surrounding childlessness, and the societal pressures of parenthood. Wrapping up, we embrace the idea of finding joy in the unpredictable "squiggly lines" of life. Aoife encourages us to start projects driven by curiosity and love, emphasizing that the journey is just as important as the destination. We touch on the importance of hobbies and creativity, advocating for the freedom to explore life beyond traditional roles.

At Think Global, we often say, “The world is our home.” Yet in many ways, we're all nomads journeying through a world that is ultimately temporary. In this episode, we explore what it means to live well with a nomadic mindset, finding purpose, connection, and joy along the way.

We live in a world that praises action and constant progress. It's easy to feel like we must always be doing something, chasing the next goal, or staying busy just to keep up.  But sometimes the real growth happens when we stop, take a breath, and let things unfold at their own pace. Pressing pause doesn't mean giving up. Waiting can give us room to see things more clearly, sort our thoughts, and recharge. In this episode, you'll learn the power of inaction, and how these quiet moments can change everything, helping us grow in ways nonstop action never could. The gift of stillness might be the key to your next breakthrough.

Send us a textEver found yourself wondering why you can't achieve perpetual happiness? You're certainly not alone. This fundamental question lies at the heart of our latest episode where we explore the transformative "50-50" concept – the liberating truth that life naturally consists of half positive emotions and half challenging ones.The idea sounds deceptively simple, yet its implications are profound. When we release the exhausting pursuit of constant happiness, something remarkable happens: we experience freedom. By acknowledging that every human being – from celebrities to CEOs to your seemingly perfect neighbor – navigates this same balance of emotions, we can finally stop believing something is fundamentally wrong when we face difficult moments.This episode arrives at a personal crossroads as I share my reflections on burnout, boundaries, and what's next for the podcast. As a high-achieving entrepreneur juggling multiple passions, I've been confronting these very questions myself – what stays on my plate, what goes, and how do I honor my energy while pursuing what lights me up? These vulnerable explorations connect directly to our 50-50 discussion, illustrating how embracing life's natural balance helps us make clearer decisions.The beautiful paradox of accepting life's 50-50 nature is that it actually enhances our capacity for joy. When we stop fighting against inevitable challenges, we create space to fully appreciate the positive aspects we might otherwise overlook. As I often say, "Where your focus goes, your energy flows" – and recognizing life's natural equilibrium allows us to direct our attention more intentionally.Ready to release the crushing pressure of trying to be happy all the time?

Reflecting on the journey of my grandson, born prematurely, we dedicate this episode to his speedy recovery and explore the concept of "afflictions of love" from the Talmud's Tractate Berachot 5a. We consider the paradox of life's greatest gifts often requiring the most arduous paths—whether it's mastering the Torah or making Aliyah to Israel. Through personal stories and experiences, we explore the idea that these challenges form an integral part of spiritual growth, offering not just purification, but a deeper connection to the divine.Our exploration continues with a discussion on viewing divine rebuke as an expression of love. By examining teachings from the Torah and insights from figures like Rabbi Yisrael Salanter, we dissect how lesser afflictions can provide lessons for enduring more significant ones. This episode also highlights the significance of individualized tests tailored by Hashem, encouraging us to embrace these challenges not merely as trials but as opportunities for profound spiritual cleansing and liberation. We recognize the importance of appreciating these divine challenges, for they contribute to building our resilience and character.The conversation extends into the realm of parenting, exploring the delicate balance between allowing children to navigate life's challenges and intervening when necessary. We discuss strategies for fostering healthy environments, especially in our technologically saturated world, and emphasize the importance of empathy and compassion in our interactions with others. Through narratives of balancing love and humanity, we conclude with the hope that these insights provide guidance and inspiration, encouraging listeners to face their personal trials with faith and fortitude._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. Many claim that they cannot learn Talmud because it is in ancient Aramaic or the concepts are too difficult. Well, no more excuses. In this podcast you will experience the refreshing and eye-opening teachings while gaining an amazing appreciation for the divine wisdom of the Torah and the depths of the Talmud.This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by David & Susan MarbinRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios to a live audience on May 9, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 23, 2025_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

In this captivating episode of Soul Elevation, I was eager to sit down with Kristina Amelong, author of 'What My Brother Knew.'  I found Kristina's memoir profound, detailing her brother's uncanny psychic prediction of his own death, her personal journey through grief and trauma, and cultural attitudes towards death.  Our conversation also explores Kristina's expertise in holistic health, including the benefits of colonics and enemas, which were pivotal in her recovery from chronic illness.  Kristina's story of overcoming a traumatic childhood, addiction, and health challenges to find spiritual and physical healing is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Additionally, we explore the powerful synchronicities that have guided her professional path, leading to the founding of the Optimal Health Network where she helps others heal through natural protocols. Kristina and I both felt the spirit of her brother, Jay, before we recorded, and we sensed he orchestrated the synchronicities which brought us together. May you be inspired and propelled on your spiritual journey through their shared story.

“You know what, from my experience, what I found out? That God tests you to see how much of this you can take before you say, ‘Let's just be finished with this.' He wants to show you something. He wants to see how much you can take, how much you can handle of life. You say you love life? You want to live life? I'm gonna show you life. Life is beautiful, but you have to accept the good and the bad as being beautiful.”– Mike TysonAt first glance, this quote might seem like an emotional reflection on life's hardships, but underneath it lies one of the most deeply Stoic messages you could ever hear. It's about embracing amor fati—the love of fate. It's about seeing every part of life, including pain and loss, as necessary and even beautiful.This podcast is listener-supported; if you would like to support the Strong Stoic (as well as gain access to exclusive content), you can do so on Patreon or Substack:Patreon: www.patreon.com/brandontumblinSubstack: https://strongstoic.substack.com

This week, I talk about my recent family trip to Italy and how I navigated traveling and the difficulties that come with it -- especially concerning food, routine, and experiences.I reflect on how "Old Pandora" would have travelled and how I'm able to take a step back and do things like not pack my yoga mat, not worry about the gelato flavours I wasn't able to try, and overcome the feelings of missing out on our final day on holiday. i also go into how my relationships with my family members have changed over the years, and a simple phrase my Mum said to me this week that made a big impact on me.You'll hear about:How breaking a routine, while difficult can open up life for new experiencesThe anxieties that come with the fear of missing out and how to navigate themHow if we look down the mountain to see how far we've come is more important than looking up at what we have yet to climbFinally, I talk about this week's episode with Zoe Blaskey and why I think it's important listening for new parents and those in the planning stage.If you've ever struggles with personal anxieties and family dynamics while traveling, I hope you find this episode useful.Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

On episode 692 of the 40+ Fitness Podcast, Coach Allan invites us to dig deep and ask ourselves two vital questions:  Who are you? Who will you be?  Sharing personal stories—like the life-changing phone call with his daughter and powerful moments from his own health journey—Allan explores the importance of living up to who we're truly meant to be, rather than settling for the life we've drifted into. You'll hear how a short, focused period of effort can drastically change the course of your life, why vision matters for both the immediate and the distant future, and how real-life scenarios highlight what's truly at stake when it comes to your health. Plus, Allan introduces his new Fit for Task Bootcamp, designed to help you take those first critical steps toward reclaiming your health and unlocking your full potential.

Life is full of magical moments—if we're willing to be the first to say yes! In this episode of the Powerhouse Feng Shui Podcast, I share a powerful lesson about perspective, kindness, and stepping up as a leader in our own lives. A simple conversation with a stranger reminded me how much our outlook shapes our experiences, and how shifting our perspective can open up a world of possibilities. From an unexpected connection in Bali to an unforgettable experience at the New Earth Cookery School, I dive into the power of trusting synchronicities and following those little nudges from the universe. Whether it's dancing on tables, singing karaoke, or jumping into a river fully clothed, sometimes the best moments come when we embrace spontaneity and lead with joy. Just like Richard Branson says—you have to be the first one! Join me as I reflect on these beautiful experiences and how they align with the principles of Feng Shui and intentional living. How can we bring this energy of adventure, openness, and trust into our homes and lives? Let's explore how small shifts—whether in our mindset or our environment—can unlock powerful transformations. Ready to say yes to life's magic? Let's dive in!   Key Takeaways:  The way we see the world directly influences our experiences. The best experiences often come from saying yes, even when it feels unexpected or out of our comfort zone. Being open to spontaneity brings more fun, connection, and fulfillment into our lives. Small acts of kindness and genuine conversations can have a profound impact on both ourselves and others. We never know what ripple effect a single moment of connection might create.

Join us for this Feminine Power Time, Embracing Life's Jacket : 5 Inquiries to Find Clarity & Courage in Choppy Waters - one of the four Power Pauses we do each year, this one focused on the energy of Equinox, Harmonizing. Taking a Power Pause quarterly is one of the best practices for decreasing anxiety, increasing clarity, receiving guidance and gaining courage. When we pause at near the equinoxes and solstices, our internal rhythm aligns with the natural rhythm... we gain clarity on how to focus in the coming months + we take a stand to ensure you have the support and structure you need to hold you. Power pauses are a personal-leadership best practice, and a wise way to run your business, organization and team. Also must if you want to stay centered, sustained and sane in our current world. Every year I hold power pauses at this 4 key shifting points, the equinoxes and the solstices, March, June, Sept and Dec - within the Feminine Wisdom Way Collective, and for leaders  of teams, companies and organizations in which we do "Cyclical Strategic Planning." While the structure of each Equinox power pause is the same, every year we are different and every year the world is different. So I change up the flavor and focus based on what's needed.  This year, I felt compelled to share with you a series of 3 inquiries shared with me by one of my long-time mentors - Pele Rouge Chadima co-founder of Timeless Earth Wisdom. Plus 2 sustainable success and wellbeing inquiries we ask every year at this time.  The wisdom and inquiries have def been a life jacket for staying above the choppy waters of chaos, finding my way back to center when I fall  off my 'life raft," and answering the call to what's taking me into bigger waters.    It all centers around "Trusting Life" which is different than "trusting the Universe" .. in subtle but pretty profound ways - both are needed.  The first part of this episode I share what I have been learning through this lense of Trusting Life that has truly been a life-jacket. The second part I will take you through a ritual - like a labryrinth - with 5 inquiries to help you tune into the messages Life has for you, where your resistance might be, and what is calling you to accept and center into so you can receive the gift Life is trying to offer.  See you there,   Christine p.s. SHARE THIS POWER PAUSE WITH A FRIEND ... go through the inquiries together and then this year become re-harmonizers for each other when you get the wobbles or can't seem to find your centered truth.  ***** RESOURCES Wisdom Inquiries - Access on Feminine Power Time Podcast Page Timeless Earth WIsdom and Pele Rouge - https://www.centerfortimelessearthwisdom.org/  Other Equinox Power Pauses - These inquiries are different than the ones I  have done in Equinox Power Pauses in the past, but those inquiries are also still valid for finding imbalances, shifting habits, setting focused intentions - you can access the library of Equinox Power Pauses here.   CONNECT: Subscribe to Christine's Monthly Wisdom Letters - https://christinearylo.com/wisdom-letter-signup/ Linked in: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinearylo/ Feminine Wisdom Cafe - private online community: http://www.FeminineWIsdomcafe.com You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChristineArylo
