In this episode I am once again joined by Alex W, long term practitioner of Zen, Pragmatic Dharma, and Western Occultism. Alex explains how to meditate after awakening; details the path to success in Zen, Mahāmudrā, and Dzogchen; and compares Taoist Inner Alchemy to cultivating the enjoyment body, Saṃbhogakāya. Alex reflects on the biases of the Buddhist tradition, summarises the phases of his own meditation development, and differentiates constructive and deconstructive modes of practice. Alex also reveals the purpose of the 6 Yogas of Naropa, warns about the dangers of advanced meditation techniques, and considers whether greater political engagement is a result of spiritual maturity. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep324-how-to-practice-after-awakening-alex-w-2 Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'.

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores the gentle, often misunderstood power of being humble.Have you ever thought that being humble makes you weak? Do you find yourself confused between setting healthy boundaries and being submissive? Or perhaps you wonder if humility and ambition can ever walk the same path? Humility is often mistaken for invisibility in a world that values noise, boldness and assertion. You'll learn how humility isn't about hiding but revealing our quiet strength. True humility in Taoism is not about shrinking ourselves or surrendering our values. It is about recognising our place in the vast rhythm of the Cosmos.        Read the blog post that inspired this episode:  https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/the-softness-of-humility-a-path-toOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

Most people think of the I Ching as a fortune-telling book. In this episode, we explore the Taoist view that time itself is non-linear — past, present, and future already coexist. That perspective explains why divination is possible and why Shi (the Sage's alignment with time and place) matters.Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod and Morgan Boatman look at how coins, sticks, and bones act as tools to bypass bias, and how the I Ching historically guided generals, nobles, and spiritual adepts. Finally, we share a simple framework — Circumstance, Action, Outcome (CAO) — that makes the I Ching practical for modern decisions about health, love, and life direction.If you're curious about Taoism, divination, or the deeper meaning of “being in the right place at the right time,” this conversation offers both history and usable insight.

This week, two adventures into the uncharted seas of life. Serendipity 海上的人 by Sharon Wongosari After her lupus diagnosis, Sharon lost what she once held most precious: career opportunities, productivity, and the efficiency that once defined her. Yet in losing them, she discovered a self beyond those qualities and began to reclaim her life. She now credits her friends, family, and her spiritual guide - Mazu, the Taoist ocean goddess she prays to. As red crescent blocks strike the ground, fortune poems are revealed, and prayers are answered. We are all 海上的人 (people on the ocean), drifting through uncharted seas, carried by chaotic waves of serendipity. Produced by: Sharon Wongosari Supervising Producer: Dan Semo Antarctica by Dylin Hardcastle At 17, Dylin faced her first psychotic episode, learning too early that life is both fragile and finite. Then writing became her vessel, carrying her from psych wards to Antarctica, where she witnessed glaciers breaking, whales surfacing, and history dissolving into the sea. Her story is a reminder that even at the edge of endings, the tide always carries us toward more life.

MENOPAUSE AS POTENT PORTAL TO YOUR SOVEREIGN PLEASURE In this transformative episode, Robyn Vogel welcomes somatic healer and intimacy coach Brynn Bishop for a powerful conversation that redefines menopause—not as an ending, but as a sacred time to redefine pleasure and vitality. Together, they explore how this often misunderstood life stage is actually a portal—one that invites women to reclaim their bodies, release outdated beliefs about sexuality, and awaken to a new era of freedom and sensuality. Brynn shares profound insights from her decades of work with women in midlife and beyond, including: Why menopause could be a biological initiation into personal power How the shifting hormones of perimenopause can open the door to more authentic erotic expression The importance of self-care, and conscious touch that meets your pleasure where it's at  And how that pleasure can become more expansive and profound in post-menopause than ever before This episode is a permission slip to reimagine your sexual life pre- and post-menopause, rewrite your pleasure story, and step boldly into your next chapter. Tune in and discover how menopause can become one of the most erotic, empowered seasons of your life.

Send us a textIn this episode, host Andrea Atherton sits down with healer and teacher Dzou Rubin for a profound conversation about what it means to live as sovereign beings in a rapidly shifting world. Together, they explore how love can be experienced not as an emotion but as a living frequency, and how humanity is being called to clear distortions, heal fragmentation, and awaken to a new era of embodied consciousness.Andrea and Dzou discuss the ways old paradigms—patriarchy, matriarchy, teacher, student—are falling away, making room for a more authentic balance of inner union and shared responsibility. Dzou shares his journey through decades of study and teaching in Ayurveda, Yoga, Tantra, Taoist alchemy, and energy medicine, and how those paths inform his mission to help others reactivate their original codes of sovereignty.This dialogue weaves together Andrea's thoughtful inquiry and Dzou's transmissions from his forthcoming works, The Sovereign Blueprint and The Incension Spiral. Listeners are invited to step into deeper coherence, compassion, and clarity as we move through one of the most pivotal shifts in human history.Dzou Rubin: https://www.facebook.com/josef.rubin.9/30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

Original airdate: Apr 5, 2022 In our unpredictable and ever-changing world, we're constantly in a state of figuring out how to sow our seeds for a happy life. The information age has turned our attention into a currency that's being mined, and time seems to be an increasingly scarce resource. But what if it wasn't? What if we had the ability to take control of how we trade our energy for time and increase our vitality to live our fullest life? That's what my guest, Pedram Shojai, and I discuss in this episode. Pedram is a former Taoist monk, doctor of Chinese medicine, and qi gong master. He is a New York Times best-selling author of several books including The Urban Monk and the producer of multiple films and series. He's lectured on wellness around the world and is known for his no-nonsense approach towards teaching esoteric concepts to readers in an easy-to-understand way. Pedram shares his thoughts on how we can make healthier choices in our life and design a lifestyle that fulfills our needs. We also talk about the major energy drainers in the modern world and what we can do to regain vitality.

In episode 2-3 of Shorts:  Daoist “magic” wasn't just movie myth — it was central in much of Daoist history, especially in the ritual and sectarian traditions found in the Daoist Canon. In this episode, Master Steenrod explains how the term “sage” might even be read as “wizard,” and why Daoist practice evolved from esoteric power into a guide for everyday life. Along the way, we explore the concept of ling (numinous power) and the Daoist idea that those with greater ability have the responsibility to uplift society. A revealing look at how Daoism bridges mystical practice, moral responsibility, and daily living.

Gary King is a filmmaker who transitioned from a career in psychology and human resources to independent cinema, building a body of work that balances heart, hustle, and deeply human storytelling.In the spirit of Taoist unpredictability, Gary's story unfolds not as a straight line, but as a rich weave of intuition, risk, and creative alignment. He didn't attend film school—not out of rebellion, but because he didn't know it existed as a real path. Yet, what he lacked in formal education, he made up for in lived experience, teaching himself the craft by actually making films. From his first feature "New York Lately" to a haunting indie gem titled "Among Us," his journey is a testament to following that subtle inner pull, even when it defies logic or convention.What stood out most was Gary's devotion to character.He didn't chase Hollywood formulas or pre-packaged three-act structures. Instead, he sculpted stories that breathe. Stories that fail and rise again. He spoke of actors, not as tools to carry his vision, but as living beings whose rhythms dictate the energy of a scene. “The first take might be gold for one actor, but the sixth take is where another actor finds their truth,” he said. That kind of awareness doesn't come from reading screenwriting manuals. It comes from presence.It's no surprise that Gary gravitated toward stories with strong female leads. His commitment to representation isn't a gimmick—it's a reflection of his own lived dynamics. He and his wife uprooted their lives together, and it was her faith in him that seeded the beginning of his filmmaking path. When he pitched the idea of becoming a director, her response wasn't fear—it was, “Okay, how do we make this happen?”Every film Gary makes becomes his personal film school. No gatekeeping. No pedigree. Just the camera, the actor, the breath of a moment, and the sacred chaos of the edit room.One of the most beautiful sentiments he shared was how universal pain is the bridge to empathy. “You can tell a story about a Broadway dancer who never makes it, and someone who's never danced a day in their life will see themselves in that struggle.”And while his films may not be backed by million-dollar budgets or high-concept gimmicks, they pulse with something far rarer: authenticity. A humility that says, “I'm still learning.” A clarity that says, “This is who I am.” And perhaps most importantly, a humor that says, “Yes, I returned a porno tape to Blockbuster by accident, and no, I don't regret it.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

Embark on an illuminating journey with Nicholas Giannasi in this episode, where Mason guides a profound and deeply insightful conversation that seamlessly weaves together ancient spiritual concepts with their tangible, practical applications in the fabric of everyday existence. This is not merely a surface-level discussion; it's an exploration that delves into the very heart of what it means to be human, to err, and to transcend.   From the nuanced and often misunderstood true meaning of forgiveness—revealed not as a mere act of absolution, but as a dynamic interplay of understanding and compassion—to the profound yet accessible importance of humility in an increasingly self-promotional world, Nicholas shares wisdom that resonates deeply. The conversation gracefully flows through the inevitability of change, emphasizing how embracing impermanence can liberate us from suffering and foster a deeper appreciation for the present moment. Mason and Nicholas collectively peel back the layers, revealing how ancient wisdom, distilled through centuries of profound contemplation and practice, offers an indispensable compass to navigate the intricate and often turbulent waters of the modern world. They invite listeners to discover how these timeless truths can not only illuminate our individual paths but also foster greater harmony and meaning in our lives, making the sacred visible in even the most mundane of activities. This episode promises to be a transformative listen, encouraging a shift in perspective that allows for greater peace, understanding, and authentic engagement with life's rich tapestry.   Episode Highlights: 00:01:34 - Forgiveness and Compassion: Nicholas emphasizes that true forgiveness comes from understanding another's suffering (compassion), which is love with understanding. He suggests stopping the effort to forgive and instead looking into the other person's suffering, creating space for understanding. 00:03:23 - The Importance of Space: Meditation and creating "space" are crucial for spiritual practice and achieving genuine understanding and forgiveness. 00:05:00 - Non-Clinging to "I, Me, Mine": Drawing from Buddhist teachings, Nicholas highlights that suffering arises from clinging to the illusion of a separate "I, me, or mine." True wholeness and appreciation of interconnectedness come from dropping this self-identity. 00:32:00 - The Mundane is Sacred: Both speakers agree that everyday life and seemingly mundane tasks (like "chop wood, carry water") are part of spiritual practice and that true spiritual growth doesn't necessarily mean escaping worldly obligations. 00:18:12 - Preparing for Death: The conversation touches on impermanence and preparing for death by living a grateful and aware life, free from fear and attachment. 00:13:51 - The Role of a Sense of Humor: A sense of humor is presented as an important aspect of the spiritual journey, helping to navigate suffering and the absurdities of life without becoming cynical. 00:44:10 - Jing, Qi, and Shen: The concept of Jing, Qi, and Shen is discussed, with Nicholas emphasizing that healing the soul (Shen) first allows the mind and body (Qi and Jing) to follow. Connecting with a "higher Jing" or the Dao through practice is key. 00:50:04 - Avoiding Over-Complication: Nicholas stresses keeping spiritual practices simple, as the Dao itself is "extremely simple." He notes that attachment to material possessions and the desire for wealth can lead to emptiness and unhappiness.   Resources Mentioned: Stephen Harrod Buhner's final book (an herbalist earth poet) The Psychology of Money (audiobook) Nickdanbeau Love  Email: nicholasgiannasi@gmail.com

I've also witnessed firsthand some of the difficulties that Projectors work through as they decondition from societal definitions of success and discover the authentic flow of their energies.In this conversation, my dear friend Joanne Chen, a 2/4 Splenic Projector, joined me to discuss all things Projectors. We talked about Joanne's journey – from pursuing a career as a classical musician in NYC to living in Bali and guiding others on their spiritual journey.We also discussed the relationship between Projectors and Generators: how they can support one another in the process of deconditioning, while appreciating each other's natural gifts.Here's Joanne's bio:Joanne is an energy refinement mentor and spiritual guide known for her clarity, resonance, and multidimensional approach to transformation.Rooted in decades of experience as a professional pianist and teacher, she brings the same precision and depth to her current work, supporting clients of all ages worldwide in recalibrating their energetic systems and realigning with their natural frequency.Her guidance weaves together universal laws, Taoist wisdom, Human Design, Gene Keys, QHHT, breathwork, and nervous system attunement.She is also trained in Yin yoga and Reiki with a background in cognitive behavior-based teaching and emotional pattern recognition. However, it is her intuitive clarity and ability to hold a safe, potent space that clients often describe as a “breath of fresh air.”Whether working with high-level visionaries or those undergoing profound personal shifts, Joanne's work helps people experience their own energy as the architect of reality - and return to truth without bypassing.Joanne is also offering a special discount for Healing The Spirit listeners for her signature programs.

Most people are running on a fraction of their true power because their energy is scattered and leaking away. The microcosmic orbit is an ancient Taoist practice that solves this — a simple, natural circuit in your body that stores, refines, and multiplies your life force. It's not some mystical trick reserved for monks. Once you understand how to tap into it, you can use it to charge your whole system, sharpen your mind, and unlock a new level of sexual vitality. In this video, I break down what the microcosmic orbit really is, why it's the missing link in most men's training, and how to start feeling it flow for yourself.Get my FREE Ebook - 3 Techniques for Legendary Ejaculation Control:

In this episode, I outline the joys of intentional ideation, i.e. intentionally setting aside quiet time to sit and just think. It's not rumination though. The goal is to intentionally set aisde quiet time so that you can think, your mind wander to tap the power of the subconscious. The pen makes all of the difference. This will allow you to capture those ideas as they pop up.That's what life is all about... making the abstract concrete, manifesting and bringing into form all of the powerful ideas resting within the subconscious. We all have these amazing ideas down there. The purpose of the intentional ideation is to make those ideas come to life.We'll also formally define ideation, the concept of an "idea", and how the Taoist philosophy book of wisdom, The I-Ching, describes the creative.This was a fun one to do.The audio quality on this episode kind of sucks, but I wanted to get this one out!!

In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores how to let go of the past.Have you ever caught yourself replaying an old hurt, long after the moment has passed? Do you ever believe that holding onto the pain somehow holds others accountable? Or wonder if releasing your grip might let the world “get away” with what should never have happened?These are the fundamental questions of letting go—not from the mind, but from the heart, especially our Inner Child, who still seeks justice, safety, and acknowledgement.You'll discover how NOT letting go is not protection but a chain that weighs you down, and how acceptance, not approval or forgetting, cuts it clean...Read the blog post that inspired this episode: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/p/unforgiveness-the-chain-that-bindsOur Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

You'll never get over your trauma with talking unless you also heal the nervous system and get more connected to self, community and earth. Plants and embodiment can help you feel safe in your body again.In this episode of Sacred Herbalism, Stephanie Hazel sits down with Daisy K. Devine to unravel the intimate ties between trauma, the nervous system, and herbal medicine. They reveal how trauma is stored and released through the body, why the gut—our “second brain”—is vital to healing, and how deep community connection fuels recovery. With insights from Taoist philosophy and decades of herbal wisdom, Daisy highlights the healing power of passionflower and reishi, inviting listeners to see nature as a sanctuary for emotional restoration.Key Takeaways:Trauma releases only through the body, not just the mind.Healing thrives on loving presence and community.Nervous and digestive systems work together in trauma recovery.Herbs like passionflower and reishi help regulate the nervous system and support the gut.Nature offers safety and a path to emotional integration.*LINKS AND MENTIONS*Find Daisy's website hereFollow her on Instagram here.The episode I mentioned with Tatiana Dawn is here.Join the waitlist for Resting into the Earth retreat (The above link will open a pop up to email me.

Ian Johnson's new book, The Souls of China: The Return of Religion After Mao (Pantheon, 2017),  was called "a masterpiece of observation and empathy" by The New York Review of Books, and The Economist, who included the book on its Best of 2017 list, said the book, "Shows how a resurgence of faith is quietly changing the country." The Guardian said the book is "full of moving encounters with Chinese citizens ... Johnson succeeds in having produced a nuanced group portrait of Chinese citizens striving for non-material answers in an era of frenetic materialism." I just finished the book myself and was stunning in its portrayals. If you hope to understand the trajectory of modern China, arguably the fastest-rising international superpower, understanding the religious Taoist, Christianity, folk religion, and Islam of China will be helpful, if not essential. A Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist, Ian Johnson is a regular contributor to The New York Review of Books and The New York Times; his work has also appeared in The New Yorker and National Geographic. He is an advising editor for the Journal of Asian Studies and teaches courses on religion in Beijing.

From full-body waves to cervical transcendence, Hani walks us through the art of tapping into deeper pleasure, emotional release, and spiritual connection through Tantra and Taoist principles. We also explore the fascinating concept of the mystery orgasm, where pleasure becomes an intuitive, ever-evolving experience. Hani opens up about her personal journey with this powerful sensation and offers listeners tools to awaken their own multidimensional pleasure pathways. In this episode, we cover: What the mystery orgasm is and how to access it The difference between clitoral, G-spot, cervical, and full-body orgasms How breath, voice, and emotion play key roles in sexual energy Why orgasm isn't the goal—presence is The practice of daily pleasure and body awareness How to co-create novel experiences with your partner Hani's take on squirting, self-pleasure, and releasing performance pressure An intro to vaginal reflexology and the emotional connections stored in the body Connect with Eve: Support the Podcast: Become a ⁠Patreon⁠ member for ad-free episodes, exclusive content, and early access Website: Please Me Online - Reach Eve and stay connected.

In this juicy and soul-stirring episode of Please Me, Eve sits down with transformational coach, healer, and author Hani Cheng to explore the power of sensual embodiment, healing through movement, and unlocking the divine wisdom stored in our bodies—especially the parts we've been taught to silence. From a 15-year journey with undiagnosed bulimia to becoming a global teacher in tantra, Taoist sexuality, and energetic healing, Hani shares how listening to her body—specifically her “peach”—transformed her life, purpose, and pleasure. This conversation dives deep into sensual liberation, sex magic, and why dancing (yes, even Brazilian Zouk!) might be the gateway to your most authentic, grounded self. If you've ever felt disconnected from your body, your desire, or your voice—this episode is an invitation to come home. In this episode, we cover: Hani's journey from secret illness to embodied liberation Why your body is your greatest source of wisdom (and how to listen to it) What it means to “speak to the peach” and let your sensuality lead The role of dance—especially Zouk—in emotional processing and sexual healing How Hani's Sensual Liberation program helps people connect with breath, body, and pleasure Exploring orgasm as a portal to creativity, confidence, and even increased abundance Using sexual energy to fuel business, relationships, and personal power The beauty of presence, co-creation, and trust in both dance and intimacy Connect with Eve: Support the Podcast: Become a ⁠Patreon⁠ member for ad-free episodes, exclusive content, and early access Website: Please Me Online - Reach Eve and stay connected.

From ancient dynasties to bustling megacities, China is a land steeped in history, legend, and superstition. Behind the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and neon-lit skylines lies a shadowy world of ghost stories and haunted places that have terrified generations. In this episode, we'll uncover eerie tales of restless spirits, cursed buildings, and paranormal hotspots that make China one of the most fascinating—and haunted—countries on Earth. We begin with the Forbidden City in Beijing, perhaps the most famous haunted location in China. Built in the 1400s, it was the seat of emperors for nearly 500 years. Countless executions, murders, and palace intrigues have left behind a legacy of hauntings. Guards and visitors report seeing ghostly women in white, strange apparitions at night, and hearing unexplained screams echoing through the massive courtyards and darkened halls. Next, we travel to Chaonei No. 81, known as “Beijing's Most Haunted House.” This crumbling French Baroque-style mansion dates back to the early 20th century and is the stuff of urban legend. Rumors swirl about a woman who hanged herself after being abandoned by her lover. Locals claim to hear weeping inside, see her shadow moving behind boarded windows, and even feel violently ill when approaching the building at night. We'll also discuss the Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai. Though famous for its beautiful classical design, it's also home to centuries of bloodshed from rebellions and wars. Locals speak of encountering spirits in traditional garb, shadowy figures slipping between rockeries and bridges, and disembodied whispers after dark. Our episode wouldn't be complete without exploring China's rich ghost lore. We'll talk about the Hungry Ghost Festival—a time when spirits are believed to roam the Earth seeking offerings and revenge. Families burn paper money and leave food for the dead, hoping to appease them and prevent misfortune. We'll also examine some chilling modern hauntings, including ghostly subway stations in Beijing where passengers report spectral encounters, phantom trains, and even deadly urban legends about portals to the afterlife hidden in plain sight. Throughout this episode, we'll discuss why China's deep respect for ancestors, Buddhist and Taoist beliefs, and folklore about vengeful spirits shape the way these hauntings are understood. You'll learn how Chinese ghost stories differ from Western ones, yet tap into the same primal fears about betrayal, loss, and the unknown. So turn down the lights, grab your tea (or your favorite ghost-hunting gear), and join us as we explore the darker side of China—a land where history and the paranormal go hand in hand. Whether you're fascinated by ancient curses, tragic love stories, or modern urban legends, this episode is sure to haunt your imagination.
