Podcasts about self inquiry

This week's episode holds space for one of the main fears that can come up when we're experimenting with inquiry and getting free: the fear of being insensitive. As Tom points out, deep down nobody wants to be insensitive to the suffering that goes on in this world. And when we reach states of openness and freedom ourselves, sometimes the fear that shows up is hurting other people by not joining them in their misery. Through a vulnerable health-related share and an exploration into the possibility that everything – everything – works out in the best way possible, that sparks the conversation about how sensitivity fits into the equation of personal liberation, we invite you to join in on The Work.

Do you notice within yourself a tendency to approach life from a place of resistance? Resistance to what you don't want to experience, resistance to what appears to oppose you, or resistance in its other form: effort. Often we hold tightly to resistance as if it's the only thing between us and utter disaster. Or just living an experience we don't like. But could it be that our resistance is the only thing between us and relaxation? And that the only thing effort truly brings into our lives is stress? As Katie says, don't believe it. Find out for yourself. Follow along in this week's episode exploring our habit of resistance.

“If I receive, I owe something in return.” This thought is drilled into us from the very beginning with the teaching of “pleases” and “thank yous,” but is it true? It can be so easy to slip into the current of belief in this thought, because that's the way the world seems to work. But might it work differently if we didn't believe that receiving and owing go hand-in-hand? And more importantly, what is it like on a personal level believing that it's true that we can't receive without owing something in return? Could it be that nature doesn't live by rules of owing and earning? Have any of us ever actually earned the incredible abundance of the sun? Or the devotion of the chair that holds us up? Maybe those are clues to the nature of life, and therefore the nature of us.

Byron Katie does not want people's approval. She has no interest in manipulating people out of the way they see her. She wants them to think the way they think. According to Katie, that's love. In this episode, Tom guides a meditation around noticing wanting approval. Noticing what it's like living in the world of holding tightly to that desire, and noticing what it's like being free of it. Could it be that it doesn't matter what anyone is thinking about me? We invite you to follow along in this inquiry with situations in your own life where you notice attachment to being approved of.

Often we can experience the fear that if we follow our heart's desire, we will end up hurting people we love, or causing disasters, or being reckless, or any number of miserable outcomes. This week's brave share is an inquiry into that fear. What if the people in your life already see you as reckless and irresponsible? What if you think you might be showing up that way too? In the world of obligation, permission and justification, it becomes impossible to see with clarity. If you've been there (or are there now) we invite you to follow along and undo some of that confusion, and come into an experience of total freedom.

Send me your thoughts in a Text MessageAre you tired of feeling like you're on the brink of spiritual awakening, yet something always seems to hold you back? In this video, I uncover the four subtle obstacles that keep most seekers stuck, even after years of meditation, shadow work, and self-inquiry. Whether you've been devouring every book on enlightenment, attending countless spiritual retreats, or deeply exploring non-dual teachings, you'll discover exactly why genuine self-realization may still feel out of reach.If you've ever wondered, "Why am I not enlightened yet?" this is the turning point you've been looking for. Through my own journey and work with hundreds of students, I've identified the invisible locks that hold even the most dedicated spiritual explorers captive. You'll learn how expectation sabotages your inner transformation, how fear operates as a hidden security system for the ego, and how resistance silently cements your false identity in place. We'll also delve into the sneaky habit of waiting-and show you why it quietly prevents you from fully embracing the present moment.This video isn't about adding more spiritual concepts-it's about recognizing the absence of resistance and the simplicity of pure presence. By facing these obstacles head-on, you'll naturally discover the effortless peace and clarity that arise when the "me" dissolves. You'll see that real awakening doesn't require a grand fireworks display; it asks you to notice what has always been here in your direct experience.If you're ready for a profound shift in how you perceive yourself and the world around you, make sure to watch until the end. You'll receive a powerful doorway question that points directly to the heart of self-realisation. Don't miss this chance to reclaim the open, boundless space that's never left you, even if the ego insists otherwise.Join me on this journey to transcend these four major blocks and step into the free, unbounded awareness that is your true nature. Let's unravel the illusions together, dissolve the "me," and awaken the ever-present consciousness that resides beyond all concepts. If you're serious about unlocking authentic spiritual liberation, hit play now and discover the missing piece in your path toward genuine enlightenment.Work with me. http://www.IlonaCiunaite.com/sessions Subscribe to my Newsletter for updates, gifts and to receive info about free monthly meetings on Zoom https://ilonaciunaite.com/subscribe/Music by Valdi Sabev, Visit his channel for more calm and relaxed music https://www.youtube.com/c/ValdiSabev/featuredWebsiteshttp://ilonaciunaite.comhttp://liberationunleashed.com

What if your pride is holding you back from growing into who you're meant to become? This episode explores the emotional tug-of-war between pride and humility—and how these internal forces show up when we're faced with tough decisions, like whether to keep pushing forward or finally let go.Pride can give us confidence, but it can also isolate us, especially when it turns into fear of failure or needing to “look strong.” Humility, on the other hand, isn't about weakness—it's about being honest with ourselves, even when it's uncomfortable.We also dive into identity vs. disorientation—what happens when we let go of a role or relationship that once defined us. It can feel like losing a part of who we are, but it's often the first step toward finding clarity and creating something new.With reflections from yoga philosophy and neuroscience, this episode invites you to slow down, get real with yourself, and ask the hard questions—so you can meet the version of you that's ready to emerge.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:01:33 Pride vs. Humility00:05:52 Neuroscience and Pride00:07:02 Yogic Lens: Aparigraha and Ishvarapranidhana00:08:07 Reflection Practice00:08:51 Identity vs. Disorientation00:10:13 Ego Death and Freedom00:10:52 Self-Inquiry and Svadhyaya00:14:15 Mantra: I Am Becoming00:14:24 Integration and Reflection00:16:23 Preview of Next Episode—-------—-------—-

Do you ever have a situation show up in your life that feels less than ideal and think, “I didn't sign up for this”? A partnership isn't like the beautiful image we thought it would be, a child gets sick, a job isn't what you hoped for, difficult communication arises. Or just this being human thing doesn't feel like a choice you made freely. All the challenges feel like way too much. It's impossible to rise to any occasion. It's impossible to be really happy. Welcome to the world of the thought – “I didn't sign up for this” – that this week's episode takes a long hard look at. We invite you to follow along with whatever situation brings this belief up for you, and find out who you are without it. Could it possibly be true that we have signed up for everything we've ever experienced?

In this episode we are joined by Rachel Knott from My Animal Matters! Rachel is an intuitive animal communicator, practitioner and teacher of applied zoopharmacognosy, creator of her wonderful online shop through which she sells an array of essential oils, herbs & minerals, hydrosols, and more. In this episode Rachel and I discuss the power of seeing everything in our lives as feedback, even when we may not consider it to be initially. Rachel shares her views on animals as a mirror for our evolution and we also have a chat with her amazing canine companion Darcy!Darcy reminds us that in life there is really only one thing to 'let go of' and that is the idea of letting go in and of itself. It was such a pleasure to bring Darcy onto the podcast and I loved hearing the profound love in her simple, to the point answers to my questions. May this episode be a reminder to all of us that the feedback of life is all around us, all we need to 'do' is BE and LISTEN.Thank you Rachel & Darcy!And thank you for listening.

In this inquiry on the thought, “who/what I am is not beautiful,” Tom says that when we discover our beauty it changes our relationship with everything. What's it like in the world of seeing ourselves as unbeautiful creatures? How do we show up? How do we treat ourselves? These are the questions that arise in this beautiful inquiry, along with their profound answers. Could it be time to allow ourselves to consciously experience being beautiful?

This week's episode looks at some words from awakened masters on the vanity of the Universe, of the God/Creator/Consciousness that uses existence to experience itself. It also looks at some of our reactions to those words. A common response to the idea that there is no separation, or as Katie puts it, that there is only One, can be a fear of loneliness. As if there only being One means it's a cold, lonely existence. Hand-in-hand with that fear can be a fear of not being enough, that sense of inadequacy that seems often so integral to the human experience. Could it be that we are the Oneness expressing and enjoying itself? And could it be that the experience of that aloneness isn't a lonely one after all?

In this episode I am joined by bodyworker and healer Laura Shakeshaft. Laura is a multi-faceted practitioner who utilises her wide range of modalities to help bring balance, harmony, rhythm, and safety to horses and humans. Based in South Wales Laura has been treating my herd of horses since their move in October 2024. I have been very impressed with Laura's expanse of knowledge and experience which is why I asked her to join us on the podcast. In this episode Laura and I discuss her less well known modality - Amnanda.Amnanda is an Ayurvedic treatment combining the use of specific oil combinations, very light hands on touch, mantra, and intention. Treatments span over a period of 12 months with monthly sessions enabling the body to settle into the framework over a consistent period of time. Amnanda stems from an ancient Tibetan lineage and is a highly effective and encouraging approach to sustainable healing.Laura and I also touch on the power of cultivating safety, horses' innate healing intelligence within the body, and what is means to get out our own way when it comes to being a practitioner. As of today, Laura is the only practitioner working with animals in Europe. She is running courses in South Wales and other areas of the UK throughout the year.Thank you for listening!

What happens when a friend doesn't pay enough attention to you? What do you notice goes on within?  Listen as this inquirer tells a long story about the problem with her friend, and then does The Work.  Grace Bell, facilitator of The Work, assists people to identify and question their stressful ways of looking at life.  She offers Year of Inquiry, a vibrant membership community of inquirers Sept-June each year. Learn more about Year of Inquiry at https://workwithgrace.com/year-of-inquiry Grace also has a special love for those suffering from eating issues including disordered eating (disordered thinking) of all kinds--having suffered from this behavior and thought/feeling process herself and finding an unshakable peace within around eating, food, health and behaviors with eating.  Grace works with all kinds of compulsions, habits and addictions as they are all the same thing: a pull to some behavior, substance or activity in order to help us with our stressful feelings and thoughts. As Byron Katie offers us (founder of The Work); when we believe what we think, it creates unnecessary suffering. When we question what we think, we feel lighter and less serious about what is. We even begin to laugh. We notice who we really are is peaceful already, a human being living life as best we can--learning, growing, loving.  In the public sessions on this youtube channel, we have all-group inquiry sessions called First Friday Inquiry, we have interviews with practitioners of The Work, we have Eating Peace videos (on the eating peace playlist) and we have individual sessions in The Work by courageous people willing to be recorded for Peace Talk podcast and this channel. Thanks to everyone involved in what is shared here on this channel, as it is great service to others in the world who find their way here and who are curious about life without "believing" thought all the time.   In all-group sessions and solo sessions, we begin with a judgment...and move into the four questions and turnarounds. Willingness to be real and honest with your thinking is the first powerful step in The Work.  No one ever has to share when attending Friday Inquiry, and thank you when you do.   For the Work With Grace programs and more information, and to get on the Grace Notes mailing list for updates and sharing of all kinds around The Work, please visit www.workwithgrace.com To receive notice of Eating Peace programs, videos and vlog posts, visit www.workwithgrace.com/eating-peace and join the mailing list.

Today, Erin and Sasha dive into the beauty of the Sahasrapadma Chakra. “Sahasrara” means thousand and “Padma” means lotus. Together, it is referred to as the “thousand-petaled lotus.” Much like the human experience, a lotus begins its life in the depths of muddy, murky waters—our struggles, attachments, desires, and ignorance (Avidya). Just as the lotus remains rooted in the mud, we too are born into the material world, facing suffering, karmic cycles, and obstacles. As the lotus stem rises through the water, it symbolizes the seeker's journey through self-awareness, discipline, and inner purification. The phrase represents the infinite layers of consciousness. And through our efforts in Yoga, Meditation, and Self-Inquiry, overcoming obstacles, refining the mind, and aligning with higher consciousness, we unfold one petal at a time, moving closer to Divine realization. Sahasrapadma Chakra is located at the crown of the head, and is the gateway to pure consciousness. When it is balanced, we experience deep inner peace, clarity, and a profound connection to universal wisdom. Life flows effortlessly, and we feel aligned with our highest purpose. When imbalanced or blocked, it can manifest as mental fog, chronic stress, anxiety, or depression. On a physical level, disharmony in this chakra is often linked to neurological disorders, migraines, hormonal imbalances, sleep disturbances, and even autoimmune conditions. Some may struggle with disconnection from their spiritual path, while others might experience an overwhelming sense of isolation or existential confusion.Through meditation, pranayama, acts of surrender, nourishing ourselves with sattvic foods like coconut, almonds, and ghee, occasional fasting with fresh juices or herbal teas, and using Ayurvedic herbs such as Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, Gotu Kola, and Tulsi, we unlock the potential of this energy center. Yoga asanas like Sirsasana (headstand), Savasana (corpse pose), Vrikshasana (tree pose) and Padmasana (lotus pose) further help stimulate this center of Divine connection. When the lotus reaches the surface, it blossoms in the sunlight, untouched by the water below. This represents the final stage of spiritual awakening, the self-realization (moksha), where one transcends suffering, duality, and illusion (maya). The enlightened being, like a lotus, remainds in the world but is no longer affected by its turbulence. Despite its impure surroundings, the lotus remains pristine and beautiful, symbolizing that true beauty and purity arise from within, regardless of external circumstances. Send us a textSupport the showTo learn more about us, please visit www.OjasOasis.com Connect with us @ojasoasis on Instagram

Tom likes to say there's two main religions on this planet: “There's right and wrong,” and “If you get it wrong it's serious.” This week's episode focuses on the first of those commonly held beliefs and – through The Work – questions it. When we enter question 3 and look at how we react, what happens when we believe the thought, we're done looking at whether it's true or not. We are purely experiencing the effect of believing that it is true. So even if this thought has been drilled into you by parents/school/society/what have you, you have the freedom to look at your own experience and notice through the natural intelligence that shows up within us in inquiry what truly helps you show up the way you'd like to in life. Does the religion of right and wrong support you? If yes, you're free to keep it. If it hurts in any way, you're free to question it and follow along in this popcorn-style inquiry.

If you've been on a spiritual path or a journey of personal freedom of some kind, you might have come across the question of separation. Are we separate? From each other? From anything? From all that is? You might have also experienced the fear of “waking up” and having all individuality, all sense of self dissolve. What we noticed in this inquiry was that type of fear being one reason we hold onto believing in ourselves as separate from the rest of life. But maybe it isn't like that. As Tom often asks: Are you? Meaning are you aware? In this episode we invite you to come into your own experience of you and find out for yourself what's true about this notion of separation.

Have you ever believed the thought, “I have to earn my keep”? This week Tom guides a beautiful and bountiful inquiry into that thought, and all the ways we use it to keep ourselves from the natural abundance and beauty of life. It was so easy to begin believing as children that we are not worthy of all good things. But what kind of life do we create when we take that concept for truth? Could it be that life sees us differently? As Tom points out: the sun is free, the trees are free, the air is free… nature is always reflecting the abundant and beautiful nature of reality and who we are. In this group meditation we aim to reconnect with that awareness.

This week's show is with Matthew C. Halteman. Matthew is professor of philosophy at Calvin University (MI, USA) and the Oxford Centre for Animals Ethics (UK). He is the author of Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan and co-editor of Philosophy Comes to Dinner: Arguments about the Ethics of Eating. Matthew's work is driven by deep commitments to human flourishing, animal freedom, food systems transformation, and communal cooperation to realise as much truth, beauty, and goodness as we collectively can. He loves Arsenal Football Club, the television show Twin Peaks, and vegan desserts (especially tiramisu!). In this rich and thought-provoking conversation, Lian and Matt explore the profound intersections between dietary choices, ethics, and the search for a more liberated way of living. Matt shares how his agricultural roots once framed his understanding of food, only for a childhood visit to a slaughterhouse to plant a seed of dissonance that would take decades to fully bloom. Through philosophy, emotional connection, and a series of serendipitous interventions, he found himself drawn to a new way of being - one that prioritises creaturely flourishing over rigid ideology. The conversation weaves through the personal and the mythical, touching on the tensions between authenticity and openness, the allure of fundamentalism, and the freedom found in conscious food choices. Lian also reflects on her own lifelong path as a vegan, seeing it through a fresh lens of self-inquiry and deeper meaning. This is not just a discussion about diet; it's an invitation to rethink our most ordinary, intimate rituals - what we eat, why we eat it, and how that shapes the world we create. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Food is more than sustenance—it is ritual, identity, and philosophy. Whether we realise it or not, our dietary choices are woven into our values, relationships, and personal mythologies. Flourishing matters more than dogma. Instead of rigid rules, Matt invites us to see going vegan not as an ‘ism' but as an aspiration—one that prioritises the joy and freedom of all living beings rather than simply avoiding harm. The mythical exists in the mundane. By examining something as fundamental as food, we open doors to greater self-awareness, transformation, and connection to the sacred in everyday life.

There's a lot going on in the world. Again. For many of us, the political landscape is where we get our work. Watching things that feel very far out of our control happen in ways we think they shouldn't is infuriating. Take political “leaders” contributions to climate change or as an example. It can be incredibly difficult and terrifying to watch, as is bravely brought up in this week's episode. One amongst many deep insights Tom shares in this time is that we reap what we sow, and if there's fear behind a tree-planting project (e.g.) then we're not planting trees; we're planting fear. This is why self-inquiry is one of the greatest acts of social activism we can take: it takes care of the fear within us and cleans up our emotional world, a change reflected instantly in the world at large. If you're feeling powerless, devastated, or downright outraged, this episode is for you. We hear you, and we invite you to follow along with your own work for social change.

This week we're looking at the tendency to identify with “The Efforter” as it relates to practical daily life. Unsurprisingly, identifying as The One Who Has To Make It All Happen can be a not-so-fun experience when we're being pushed from our comfort zone by life's twists and turns, especially when they're to do with a job/work situation that affects our day-to-day experience. Tom walks us through an insightful share-turned-group-inquiry in this episode that leads to some powerful awareness and freedom when we're willing to see the truth.

This week's episode took a turn from an exploration about money to the concept, “I need a reason to…” (fill in the blank). It took that turn for no apparent reason, although we think it did make for a pretty sweet episode. Tune in now to inquire into the assumption that everything we do needs a good reason behind it. A good reason to have the goals we have, a good reason to follow through on them, a good reason to say no, a good reason to say yes… Is any of that true? (You get to ask YOU.)

In the first chunk of life, we learn how to get by based on worldviews and patterns of people around us — and we come to assume their ways are our ways too. But often, they aren't, and we need to find our own path. By now, you might know what you truly value, and still find that old conditioning is manifesting different values in your patterns of feeling, connection, and behaviour. This is where body connection and compassionate self-inquiry can help you find your way. "Like finding gold." - Alma W. "The best therapy I've ever done for myself." - Sanjeev B.

This week's episode centers around the feeling many of us experience as the worst possible fate: getting in trouble. Have you ever, as a kid or a grown-up, experienced someone being upset with you? Can you find the drop in the pit of your stomach when you believe that their anger means you've gotten ‘in trouble?' Some people's response to this thought is to yell back, some run away at the first chance, while others go numb and end up feeling like they abandoned themselves. Can you relate to these? What other reactions do you notice to the thought? And what might you notice if you didn't believe it? Pick a moment where you feel like you got in trouble and follow along in this real-world situation inquiry.

I have taken several trips to the Eastern Mediterranean countries to visit Biblical sites – Israel, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt. One year I took a trip to Greece that followed the journeys of the apostle Paul. One of my favorite sites was not a biblical one. It was Delphi on Mt. Parnassus. It was said that the maxim "Know thyself" was inscribed upon the Temple of Apollo there. Today it is called self-inquiry. These words are the teaching of Jesus, according to the third saying in the Gospel of Thomas. Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."

Moojibaba takes a student through a clear, step-by-step guidance into the core of Self-Inquiry. A practical, ever-relevant response to the question “how to observe with detachment?” “The feeling ‘I' in you: ‘I see, I think, I did, I know', who is the ‘I' that knows? Is it personal or impersonal? This is the most important discovery, because until you really realize this and know this, you take yourself to be an object, perceiving other objects.” Monte Sahaja, Portugal 15 November 2024

Welcome back and happy new year! This week we're looking at the ups and downs (mostly downs) of believing the thought “I could lose support.” This might be something you'll relate to if your holidays consisted of either: A) relaxation and a sense of permission to just be that you now feel slipping away as the world spins back into its usual belief in “the grind” or B) a rushed, overwhelming time of feeling like everyone's enjoyment depended on you. Both experiences can be the results of believing it's true that you could lose support, so together let's dp the work and find out if you ever truly can.

This week we're looking at the concept of “me time.” The coveted, elusive space that exists just for us, without obligations, roles, and responsibilities weighing us down. But could it be that “me time” is actually just a thought? A thought that, when we believe it, gives us a strong sense of being misused, undervalued, underappreciated and overworked? As Tom points out, it's a world of poverty we live in when we believe we have to carve out and protect our personal time. What if it's all my time? Would that make it easier to give an honest “Yes” and “No” to invitations? We invite you to follow along in this inquiry if it's an honest yes for you.

Gabby Bernstein explores the profound self help practices from IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy) aimed at helping to release limiting beliefs and unlock inner freedom. She explains the inner parts of ourself that hold us back, influencing our thoughts and behaviors, often originating from an early age. And how by acknowledging and understanding these inner aspects, we can address internal conflicts, heal trauma, and transform limiting beliefs. Gabby shares who we are at our core: the "Self" that is inherently compassionate and capable of healing. She gives a 4 step check in process to use in moments when you're triggered, that will help you start to heal you relationship to these parts. She also opens up about her personal experience with this work and how it helped her to create the life of her dreams (from the inside out).

This week's episode is exploring the two halves of holding on. Specifically, holding onto opposing what we would not like to experience in life, and also holding onto what we would. What kind of creation do we live in when that's the belief we're operating from? Life becomes a tug-of-war of grasping and clutching at what we want, and resisting everything we want to avoid. Enjoy this week's group meditation as we notice what it's like to live these thoughts, and what possibilities lie beyond them.

A nostalgic revisit to one of YOM's (and my) most cherished episodes.The root of suffering lies in what we think and believe. But what if I told you there's a way out? A way out of pain, betrayal, addiction, depression, and anything else that weighs us down. Byron Katie's four powerful questions offer a path to freedom. When we sit with these questions, we uncover the truth within ourselves... not the truth dictated by the world, but the one that resides deep within us. What's true within you? Byron Katie gently guides us toward healing our grievances and mending our hearts.SPONSORS' SPECIAL OFFERS hereThe Four Questions from "The Work":Is it true? (Yes or no.

Do you ever feel like you're constantly dealing with the same frustrating challenges in your business?   Maybe you get stuck managing messy revisions from unexpected sources, or a client keeps hitting you with last-minute rush work.   In this episode, I discuss how we often react to these situations rather than respond thoughtfully—and why that difference matters.   We explore two key steps to improve your responses:   Taking a pause before making decisions. Asking yourself better, more open-ended questions that lead to more productive solutions.   This episode is all about how the quality of your internal questions can shift your perspective and help you navigate difficult situations with clarity.   Listen below or subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform.
