Send us a textIn this episode of Third Eye Roll, Dr. Justine Lemos and Scarlett Trillia dive into the mystical mathematics of the number 108 and its deep ties to the sun, moon, and eclipses in Vedic astrology. From Rahu and Ketu's shadow play to Purvabhadrapada's lightning-strike energy, we explore how cosmic ratios mirror human consciousness, the dance of Shiva and Shakti, and why eclipses carry both illumination and disruption.Along the way, we trace 108 through malas, Sanskrit sounds, nakshatras, baseballs, golf, Fatboy Slim, Lost, and fashion cut-outs. We also unpack the shadow side of the divine masculine in public spaces, the harmonics of divine feminine/masculine balance, and the unexpected story of Scarlett's literal “cosmic slap.”Tune in for myth, math, pop culture, and a flash of awakening that might just slap you into your own next evolution.Support the show

In this episode of The Jason de Sousa Show, Jason speaks with his GP, Dr. Shiva Rayar, about medicine, sexual health, Covid, and the health challenges shaping our society.

The growing health impacts of obesity, screens, and preventable conditions like diabetes. How we can reduce pressure on Australia's healthcare system through prevention and common sense.

Twee maanden geleden ontmoetten loopleip podcast hosts Shiva en Joost haar tijdens een trailrun. Toen vertelde Nanxia Bijlsma– super sportief en altijd wel met een nieuwe uitdaging bezig – dat ze na een aantal marathons misschien eens een ultra wilde proberen. Fast forward naar nu: haar debuut was meteen 100 kilometer verder dan de klassieke marathonafstand! En alsof dat nog niet genoeg is, liet ze zien dat ze ook nog eens over een flinke dosis talent beschikt.Nanxia heeft in haar leven al heel veel sporten gedaan, maar sinds ze is gaan hardlopen is ze écht gegrepen. In deze aflevering vertelt ze hoe ze haar avontuur tijdens een *Marathon des Sables*-evenement beleefde, wat haar drijft, en welke nieuwe doelen alweer lonken. Natuurlijk beantwoorden we ook de luisteraarsvragen.Een gesprek vol lef, inspiratie en het bewijs dat passie soms ineens je hele sportieve pad kan veranderen en dat dromen soms sneller werkelijkheid worden dan je denkt.shownotesNanxia insta- https://www.instagram.com/nanxia/Marathon des Sables- https://www.marathondessables.com/MDS crazy loops- https://www.marathondessables.com/mds-crazy-loops-la-rosiereBackyard ultra- https://www.trail-running.eu/en/events/dutch-backyard-ultra/?date=18%20October%202025&period=Last%20man%20standingmount kilimanjaro- https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilimanjaro_(berg)Birds & Beers trail- https://www.tiktok.com/@trail.nl/video/7540520468080643360Vriend van de show- https://vriendvandeshow.nl/loopleipLoopleip playlist spotify- Support the show

In this interview, Dr.SHIVA Ayyadurai, MIT PhD, Inventor of Email, Scientist, Engineer and Candidate for President, Talks about Licorice on Lung Health: A Whole Systems Approach

Send us a textWe had some technical problems with this episode but it is up and running now! In this richly oiled and myth-soaked episode of Third Eye Roll, Dr. Justine Lemos and guest Emily McConnell stir the pot (literally) on Ayurveda's most infamous process—Panchakarma. Forget juice cleanses and detox fads; Panchakarma is more like spiritual surgery, where enemas, oil baths, and nasal therapies become ritual acts of purification.We dive into the five traditional actions, with a special focus on Basti (medicated enemas) and Nasya (nasal oil therapy)—their history, their very real emotional effects, and why they're often misunderstood. Expect side-eye at colonics, love notes to sesame oil, and some straight talk about Monster energy drinks and colon health.And because this is Third Eye Roll, we weave in the myth of Samudra Manthan, the cosmic churning of the ocean that first produced poison before yielding nectar. Shiva and Parvati's wisdom on transmuting toxins becomes a mirror for how Panchakarma transforms body, mind, and soul. Along the way, you'll get unexpected fashion tips (oil-soaked loincloths, anyone?), movie picks (think Alien as a metaphor for cleansing), and the soundtrack of Gregorian chants meets Krishna das.This isn't detox—it's death, rebirth, and nectar.Support the show

Lady Shiva walks through the world, leaving a trail of bodies behind her. Not a hero, but often not quite a villain, Shiva has developed relationships with many members of the Bat Family: trainer to Tim Drake, rival and sometimes member of the Birds of Prey, mother to Cassandra Cain. Josh Weill joins the show to take on three of these stories. One is one of her earliest modern appearances with Tim Drake, one where she and Black Canary must avenge their fallen sensei and one where she takes command of the League of Shadows and in the end she must face down her own daughter to bring her plan to fruition.

My guest is Dr. David DeSteno, PhD, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University. We discuss science, God and religion, including what science can and can't reveal about the existence of God and where religious faith and science do and do not align. We also discuss why questions about life's origins, miracles and the afterlife have persisted across time. Dr. DeSteno explains how religious rituals cause meaningful improvements in mental and physical health and how prayer and gratitude can markedly reduce stress, increase honesty and compassion and buffer against loneliness and despair. Finally, we explore what distinguishes religions and mission-based communities from cults, and we discuss the role that communities such as 12-step and Burning Man play in modern life.

Devotion and faith are the holy place of Gaya; the yoga of meditation on the feet of one's Guru is the Prayāga. The Lord ofthe Universe is the Fourth (Turīya) state — the Inner Self, the Witness of the minds of all beings. If all these dwell within my own body, what other place of pilgrimage can there be?

Talk and meditation on Kashika Stotram Verse 4kā śyā ṃ hi kā śyate kā śı̄kā śı̄ sarva-prakā śikā |sā kā śı̄ viditā yenatena prā ptā hi kā śikā || 4 ||In Kāśī, indeed, shines the Effulgent Kāśī (the Self) who is the one that brings everything in the universe to light! He who has known that Kāśī has indeed attained Kāśī — that is, attained salvation.

Talk and meditation on Kashika Stotram Verse 3koṣeṣu pañcasv adhirājamānābuddhir bhavānī prati deha-geham |sākṣī śivaḥ sarvagato'ntarātmāsā kāśikāhaṃ nija-bodha-rūpā || 3 ||Whose sovereignty extends over the five sheaths (kośas), where the intellect (buddhi) is Bhavānī, residing in every bodily abode, and where the all-pervading Inner Self — the Witness — is Śiva. I am that Kāśikā, of the form of Pure Consciousness, the Self.

Talk and meditation on Kashika Stotram Verse 2yasyām idaṃ kalpitam indra-jālaṃcarācaraṃ bhāti mano-vilāsam |sat-cit-sukhaikā paramātma-rūpāsā kāśikāhaṃ nija-bodha-rūpā || 2 ||That Paramātma — the one Reality of Existence, Knowledge, and Bliss — upon which is superimposed this magic illusion (of creation), and in which the universe of moving and unmoving objects appears as the playful creation of the mind — Iam that Kāśikā, of the form of Pure Consciousness, the Self.

Talk and meditation on Kashika Stotram Verse 1 manojña-vṛttiḥ paramopaśāntiḥsā tīrthavaryā maṇikarṇikā ca |jñāna-pravāhā vimalādi-gaṅgāsā kāśikāhaṃ nija-bodha-rūpā || 1 ||This opening verse distills the essence of inner pilgrimage to Kashi, from an Advaitic viewpoint:• मनोज्ञवृत्तिः परमोपशान्तिः — When the mind's activities (vṛtti) become serene, attractive (manojña), and ultimately stilled in supreme peace (parama-upaśānti), one experiences the true sanctity.• सा तीर्थवर्या मणिकर्णिका च — That inner stillness is the greatest of holy places (tīrtha-varyā), the Manikarnika within. In Vārāṇasī, Manikarnika is the cremation ghat where liberation is promised. In the yogic sense, it is the place within where the ego and ignorance are cremated.• ज्ञानप्रवाहा विमलादिगङ्गा — The ever-flowing current of pure knowledge (jñāna-pravāha) is the spotless, Primeval Gaṅgā (vimalādi-gaṅgā). This is not the physical river, but the unbroken awareness of the Self.• सा काशिकाहं निजबोधरूपा — That Kāśikā, the city of inner light, is none other than I myself, whose true nature is Consciousness (nija-bodha-rūpā).Adi Śaṅkara thus identifies the real Kāśī as a state of Consciousness — the luminous awareness untouched by body, mind, or world.

Meditation on Ardhanarishwara stotram verse 5

Who or What is Kali?According to Abhinava Gupta , Kālī is: क्षेपो ज्ञानं च संख्यां गतिनाद इति क्रमात्। कल्लनां कुर्वती काली कर्षिणीत्यभिधीयते। She who projects, She who knows, She who delimits, She who vibrates, She who is resonance and She who is process She who imagines, She who acts, She who devours (i.e reabsorbs)....this is verily Kālī In other words, Kālī is that resonant, dynamic One from Whom the world is projected outward, articulated and known and into Whom it is reabsorbed in a constant simultaneity of unfolding! But what does that mean? And what does Kālī have to do with Śakti and what is Śakti to Śiva? Is there such a thing as a Śākta (worshipper of Devī) distinct from Śaivism? In trying to approach some of these questions, we discuss one of my favorite topics: yoginīs, mātrikās & cremation ground deities! As our śrāvana festivities and practices intensify with the passing weeks, there is a rising fervor and I am feeling rather inspired to explore the cremation ground roots of our Śaiva heritage, to make a few historical points about Ati Margins and about Kāpālikās and about what they discovered, understanding it all within the wider philosophical context of Somānanda's presentation of Śiva as primordial dynamic Consciousness, inseparable from Śakti, the pentadof powers! (cit, ānanda, icchā, jñāna, kriyā etc.) This union of Śiva + Powers (i.e puissance or latency or agency or dyanmism) is what we call Kālī and this is what I hope to explore with you a little bit today in class!According to Shiti Kanttha in Mahānāya Prakāśa: एवं आधौ एव शक्तिः स्पन्दनशीला बहिर्विषयोन्मुखी व्यापिनीभावेन सृष्ट्युपदेशभाजनम्...। एकैव चिन्नीलाधवाभासरूपा अस्थिरहठगवती कुलैव पश्चात्प्रतिसंहतस्वभावा अग्राग्रागमिप्रसरत्सहजरूपा लक्ष्यते, सोऽयं निरुपाधौ चित्स्फायादुपाधिकृतो भेदः। Verily is She is the Primordial Pulsation, inclined towards externality, the all-pervasive receptacle of emission and wisdom. She alone is the Pure Awareness in which shines experiences like the colour blue etc. Dyanmic and forcefully flowing into externality, She is verily "Kula" (the embodied universe) and yet afterwards, she withdraws it back into her nature. Her spotaneous nature is found at the very edge of arising experience. Duality arises in Her when there are limiting adjuncts but in truth She shines non-differently!Shiva = Kali, as in Shiti Kanttha:शिवस्वभावैव शक्तिः न वस्त्वन्तरम्,इत्येकम् एव शिवव्यपदेश्यं शक्तिव्यपदेश्यं च वस्तुतत्त्वं नापूर्वं किञ्चित्। The essential nature of Shiva is Shakti; they are is no seperate reality! That which is called "Shiva" and that which is called "Shakti" is the same thing! And this essential reality is wholly ordinary and not something bizzare! Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm PST.Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

Deseando afirmar su supremacía, ordenó a sus 60,000 hijos que buscaran el caballo robado de un ritual sagrado.Este caballo había sido robado por Indra y llevado a Patala cerca de la ermita de el sabio Kapila.  Los hijos de Sagara viajaron hasta la ermita de dicho sabio y rodearon y profanaron  el santuario donde el sabio estaba meditando en silencio e ignorante de lo que estaba sucediendo Cuando Kapila abrio los ojos y vio los 60 mil hijos de Sagara alrededor Kapila, . Su mirada era fuego.“La ignorancia es la mayor ofensa,” dijo, y con un solo pensamiento, redujo a cenizas a los 60,000 hijos.Sus almas quedaron atrapadas en el mundo intermedio, sin poder ascender ni reencarnar. El linaje de Sagara quedó maldito.Generaciones después, nació Bhagiratha, último heredero de esa estirpe. No era guerrero ni conquistador, sino un hombre de profunda compasión. Al conocer el destino de sus ancestros, juró liberarlos. Bhagiratha, joven pero sabio, decidió romper el ciclo.Renunció al trono, vistió ropas de corteza, y se retiró a las montañas del Himalaya, donde el cielo toca la tierra donde el aire es delgado y los pensamientos se vuelven claros como cristal.. Allí, entre glaciares y vientos que hablan en lenguas antiguas, meditó durante mil años, inmóvil como una roca, su mente fija en la redención y alimentándose solo de luz y voluntadLos dioses lo observaron. Brahma, el creador, descendió en un rayo de luz.Los dioses lo observaron. Brahma, el creador, se conmovió por su devoción y le ofreció una solución: haría que Ganga, el río celestial que fluía entre las estrellas, descendiera a la tierra para purificar las cenizas de sus ancestros. Pero había un problema:“Si Ganga cae directamente, su fuerza destruirá la tierra. Solo Shiva, el señor de la transformación, puede contenerla.”Bhagiratha comenzó una nueva penitencia, esta vez dirigida a Shiva, el dios que habita en la frontera entre la vida y la muerte. Shiva, con su piel cenicienta y su cabello como raíces cósmicas, meditaba en el monte Kailash. Las plegarias llegaron hasta Shiva  quien . Abrió su tercer ojo, y el universo tembló.Con voz profunda y grave el dios dijo “Acepto tu suplica ”, dijo. “Que Ganga caiga sobre mí.”Y así ocurrió. Los cielos se abrieronDesde los reinos celestiales, Ganga, la diosa del río, descendió. , Ganga descendió como una serpiente de luz, una corriente de agua que brillaba con estrellas. Su cuerpo era agua luminosa, su voz era canto, su mirada era compasión. Pero también era orgullosa.“¿Por qué debo descender al mundo de los hombres?”, preguntó. Bhagiratha respondió: “Para liberar a los que sufren. Para unir cielo y tierra.”Ganga aceptó. Cayó como un torrente de estrellas. Pero justo antes de tocar la tierra, Shiva la atrapó en su cabello, enredándola en sus trenzas como quien guarda una flor de una tormenta o un relámpago en una caja de madera.La diosa se agitó, furiosa. Shiva sonrió, y con un gesto, liberó una hebra de su cabello De esa hebra nació el río Ganga, que serpenteó por las montañas, siguió a Bhagiratha por valles y desiertos, hasta llegar al lugar donde yacían las cenizas de sus ancestros. Al tocar la tierra, el agua cantó.y  Las almas de aquellos 60000 antepasados de Bhagiratha se elevaron como pájaros, libres al fin.Desde entonces, Ganges es más que un río. Es madre, es diosa, es puente e

Have you ever paused to wonder about the story behind Virabhadrasana, or Warrior Pose?
