Ancient civilizations achieved things that still mystify us today - from the precision of the pyramids to the astronomical knowledge of the Mayans. But beyond their architectural and scientific achievements, they possessed sophisticated understanding of consciousness and reality creation that we're only beginning to rediscover. When we examine ancient cultures across the globe - civilizations that had no contact with each other - we find remarkably similar approaches to working with consciousness and intention. The Egyptians had their concept of Heka, the power of authoritative speech. Halfway around the world, Hindu traditions developed yantra science, using sacred geometry to focus consciousness. In Tibet, practitioners refined dream yoga techniques for working with reality through altered states. The ancient Greeks created mystery school initiations that transformed consciousness through symbolic death and rebirth experiences. In the episode we're going to dive deep into six specific ancient approaches that each offer unique perspectives on working with consciousness and intention. We'll explore Egyptian Heka and how the ancients used sound and sacred speech to influence reality. We'll examine Greek Mystery School techniques that used archetypal visualization and symbolic transformation. We'll investigate Tibetan Dream Yoga and how practitioners learned to manifest through dream states. We'll uncover Sumerian mathematical approaches that treated manifestation as a precise science with numerical formulas and geometric patterns. We'll also discover Celtic Ogham practices that worked with tree consciousness and natural energies, and Hindu Yantra science that created sacred geometric patterns as manifestation technologies. Throughout our exploration, we'll understand not just what these ancient practitioners did, but how these methods work on both psychological and energetic levels, and most importantly, how they can enhance your practice today. Each of these traditions developed over hundreds or thousands of years, refined by countless practitioners who discovered what worked and what didn't. They offer us insights into different aspects of consciousness that can complement and amplify the techniques you're already using successfully.

To be honest, I am feeling overwhelmed. On the outside, I am discouraged by endless news of our warmongering and dysfunctioning government. On the inside, I am still processing the years of intense social isolation during the pandemic, with no work prospects, after a vibrant pre-pandemic career and social life. I am hyper-vigilant and jumpy. Creatively, I feel uninspired. I find it difficult and awkward to socialize, sleep, or even rest. During periods of overwhelm, the best thing I can do for myself is to let my parasympathetic nervous system take over. This is the part of our nervous systems responsible for our 'rest and reset'. In today's meditation, we calm our nervous system. This podcast is made possible with great thanks to our subscribers on Patreon. Join our community at Patreon (dot) com (slash) theMeditationPodcast

Our modern society relies on defecit. Governments, organizations, and corporations use debt to create wealth. Advertisers highlight our individual defecits -- our flaws and insecurities that encourage us to engage and purchase. This can lead us to devalue our own wisdom, our unique voice, our personality, our humanity. In today's meditation, we explore radical self acceptance.

The language we use in our internal dialog has a profound effect on our experience. This includes nonverbal communication, such as images or feelings we invoke. When we reflect on our self talk and self-invoked feelings, we gain clarity on the ways in which we influence our experience in the world, in community, and in our daily lives. In today's meditation, we meditate on self love. This podcast is made possible with great thanks to our subscribers on Patreon. Join our community at Patreon (dot) com (slash) theMeditationPodcast
Andrés Gomez Emilsson is the director of the San Francisco–based Qualia Research Institute (QRI), a nonprofit developing formal models of consciousness and emotional valence. QRI's research aims to untangle the harmonic, computational, and symmetry-driven mechanisms underlying phenomenological experience. They approach the optimization of subjective experience through two powerful psychotechnologies — psychedelics and meditation — using them to explore the state-space of mind and map the structure of qualia. In this conversation, we discuss the phenomenology of enlightenment, the non-local field effects of consciousness, and one of Andrés' side projects: how perfumes and smells modulate perception and emotional geometry.

The term ADHD Brain refers to neuro-divergent or neuro-spicy attributes. This can, but does not necessarily, include people on the PTSD or ADD spectrum. In the context of this podcast, I am referring generally to people who are easily overwhelmed or distracted. The most commonly accepted traditional styles of meditation value stillness and silence, which can feel especially difficult for people experiencing ADHD Brain. In today's meditation, we invite movement as an anchor to keep our overly active minds focused, as we meditate with ADHD Brain.

We often enter our meditations with some kind of expectation. We expect a clear mind, a favorable outcome, answers, insights, and solutions. However, our meditations don't always play along nicely. Our minds race, our anxieties seem to increase, and we remain lost in our unanswered questions. In today's meditation, we learn to embrace disorder, uncontrol, and chaos. This allows us to simply exist. Over time, we learn to release control over ourselves, and to think and act deep in our true nature.

Hey humans, it's Stacie Baird, and welcome back to the HX Podcast. We're in the middle of our meditation series, and today we dove into something truly special—a practice known as Loving Kindness Meditation. I get it; this might sound a little out there at first, and even Dan Harris, the guy behind 10% Happier, once thought it was hokey too. But let me tell you, there's something profoundly transformative about spreading love and kindness, even to strangers. This is a meditation you can do while you're out walking, at the gym, or wherever you find yourself. No need to sit cross-legged on a pillow for this one! This practice is simple but powerful, and I promise it can make a difference in your day. So if you missed it, be sure to go back and try it out—it's only two minutes, but it might just be the most important two minutes of your day. See you next time for part four of our mindfulness challenge! Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com.

In grief, we mourn the loss of a physical presence. At times the intensity of our sadness can mask a more subtle presence. In today's meditation, we cultivate our connection to the unseen world and the Life Force that lives there. Through this connection, we can access a more complete understanding of our grief, and the subtle presence that lives beyond our physical senses.
