Podcasts about true self

We're back for Season 27, titled “Taming our Technologies: [Spiritual] Practices for a Digital Age.” This season we have a special co-host, pastor, author, and podcast host Jay Y. Kim! Jay will be joining Ruth all season long to explore the impact technology is having on our lives with God, our attention span, our parenting, our community, and our creativity. Jay and Ruth will wrestle with their own questions and wonderings about finding balance in using technology in good and helpful ways while also acknowledging its challenges. This season aims to be gracefully thought-provoking, practically helpful, and ultimately hopeful and encouraging. In order to dive right in to those big topics, Ruth and Jay are setting up the season with an introductory conversation we are calling “episode 0.” In this episode, Ruth and Jay dive into the topic of taming technology and its intersection with spiritual practices in a digital age. They discuss the complexities and emotional layers of technology's role in spiritual formation, ministry, and personal well-being. Ruth shares her long-standing interest in the subject and how technology has transformed her ministry and personal life. Jay brings his experiences as a pastor in Silicon Valley and shares a touching story about technology's impact on his own family life. Then the two do some definitional work around what exactly we mean by technology this season.   Jay Kim serves as lead pastor at West Gate Church in the Silicon Valley of California. He's the author of several books including Analog Christian, Analog Church, and Listen, Listen, Speak. Jay also hosts the Digital Examen podcast and much of his work focuses on the intersection of the digital age and spiritual formation.    Mentioned in the episode: Deep Work  by Cal Newport Analog Christian by Jay Y.

As driven individuals, many of us end up saying “yes” to everything: talks, podcasts, meetings, projects, etc. We chase impact while losing sight of what really matters. In this episode, Gino and Rob unpack the cost of overcommitment and explore how to reclaim clarity, boundaries, and presence. Gino reflects on his own journey toward finding a “happy medium,” while Rob highlights the power of pausing for regular self-assessment. Together, they invite listeners to question the motivations behind their choices: Is this rooted in fear or love? Is it aligned with who I truly am? The conversation reveals how often we try to fill an invisible hole, only to realize there's nothing missing. Wholeness was there all along. By honoring our capacity and saying “no” to what doesn't serve us, we make space to mentor, to connect, and to truly shine.

When your thoughts drown out your inner truth… when you find yourself stuck in constant overthinking… or when everything looks good on the outside but deep down something still doesn’t feel right… Silence Reveals the True Self!

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - ZMM - 9/7/25 - Becoming aware of our sense of self is central to understanding the True Self—the self of no-self. And with practice, we come to realize that the ten thousand things are none other than what we call “self.” In this talk, Shugen Roshi introduces Genjokoan, a fascicle of Dogen, which brings us face to face with the everyday reality of our lives. Our most important question then becomes: How do we live freely within this great truth, when all dharmas are Buddhadharma and nothing is left outside?

During this episode, we contemplate Thought of Awakening #246 —"Realization of true Self is the only goal worth aiming for …" and a quote from Nisargadatta Maharaj —"There is a vastness beyond the farthest reaches of the mind. That vastness is my home; that vastness is myself. And that vastness is also love."

This month of Elul is the month of return; a time for forgiveness and reconciliation; of acts of kindness, and sincere self-examination. Elul is not only about believing in G-d...it beckons us to start to truly believe in ourselves; in our own potential to re-connect with our true selves. In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman look at some of the spiritual goals of Elul through the eyes of King David, as he expressed in his stirring Psalm 27 -- a special psalm for Elul, as well as through the mitzvot of this week's Torah portion, Parashat Ki Teitzei. _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, Inc., a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow:PayPal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.

In this Riff, Gino explores a truth we all face: we are either expanding or contracting. Expansion brings learning, progress, and momentum. Contraction, on the other hand, brings discomfort, doubt, and resistance. Each phase plays a role in our growth. Progress rarely moves in a straight line; it comes in cycles.Gino shares his own cycles of Shedding and Shining, reminding us that contraction does not mean we're broken... it means we're about to break through. Whether it's a business hitting a ceiling or an individual wrestling with change, the pattern is the same: expansion, contraction, evolution, revolution. Your job is to stay aware, trust the process, and look for the lesson. Because if you're committed to growth, another expansion is always around the corner.

In this episode, David and Gene journey into the heart of one of Gnosticism's most profound and transformative myths - the second descent of the Trimorphic Protennoia. This stage represents the "pregnancy" phase in the evolution of consciousness, following the implantation of the seed idea of Unity, during the first descent.What follows is a psychic apocalypse, an inner "Dark Night of the Soul" where the very foundations of the ego-built world begin to crumble. The established parts of the mind, the Archons, are gripped by a terrifying premonition of their own dissolution. The text vividly portrays this as the birth pangs of a New Aeon, where the death of the old self gives way to the birth of the True Self, an identity conscious of its divine origins.The Protennoia, having planted the seed as Father, now reveals herself as the Mother - the womb in which this new consciousness gestates. She is the androgynous and self-contained, as symbolized by the Ouroboros. She is the Voice that emerges from the silent Thought. As a prophetess and teacher, she foretells the end of the age of ignorance ruled by the Demiurge.Hearing her "exalted Speech," the terrified Archons confront their creator, the "false god" who has claimed to be the sole deity. In this dramatic confrontation, the man behind the curtain is exposed, and the entire authority structure of the ego collapses. The Archons, realizing their "tree of life" is actually a "tree of death," are forced to question their very existence and all the choices they have made while under the spell of separation.From this chaos, a new hope dawns. Acting as a "Mother of Mercy," the Protennoia speaks directly to the "Sons of the Thought" - those parts of the mind ready to receive her hidden mysteries. She invites them into the "Aeon of Barbelo," a new and eternal state of being.This is a spiritual initiation, a promise of being glorified, enthroned, and baptized in a perfect, exalted Light. The episode unpacks this mystical initiation, explaining that it is not an external ceremony but an internal transformation, an organic process that unfolds from within. This journey leads consciousness back to its source, culminating in the Protennoia taking her seat on a branch of the true Tree of Life, having weathered the apocalypse to establish a new, unshakable center within the self.Deep Dive:The Trimorphic Protennoia - Three Forms of First ThoughtChapters:01:15 Introduction01:56 Review06:25 The Second Descent09:40 Voice From Thought14:00 The Changeless Aeon17:03 Shaking the Foundations of Chaos20:51 False God Revealed23:11 The End is Near26:25 Aeon of Barbelo29:42 Invitation to Initiation33:13 Voice of the Holy Spirit36:05 ConclusionsResources:Trimorphic Protennoia - John D.

How do you define “growing up”? Does it mean achieving certain cultural benchmarks—a steady income, paying taxes, marriage, and children? Or does it mean leaving behind the expectations of others and growing into the person you were meant to be? When we find ourselves in a career, place, relationship, or crisis we never foresaw, or that seems at odds with our beliefs about who we are, it often means our soul is calling on us to reexamine our path.Today, with Jungian Psychoanalyst, therapist, and bestselling author James HollisWe'll explore the practice of listening to that call.The call that invites us to step into a more purposeful life. As we navigate what James calls the collision between our “False Self,” created from the expectations of others, and our instinctive “True Self.”During our conversation James draw upon his life's work, his 20+ books, and his experiences with hundreds of clients, as he offers up: A map for traversing the frontier we call our inner life, The steps (as he sees them) that we must take on our road to true maturity, meaning, and fulfillment,And how we ultimately can find the courage to step into the depth, dignity, and dangers of this journey.For more on James Hollis, his books, and other work please visit jameshollis.netEnjoying the show?

If the unexamined life is not worth living, the unexamined mind is not worth having.Who are we? At the deepest sense of ourselves? What is this consciousness peering out at the world? And is it possible to turn our awareness back on itself?If we fail to look at ourselves, to understand who we truly are, to understand our unconscious thought patterns and habits, we are doomed to repeat our past, to live an unintentional life, and to keep making the same mistakes.But if we start to look within, we start to break those patterns. Our thoughts become conscious. Our actions becomes intentional. And soon, our life starts to resemble the one we've always dreamed. It all starts by looking within. In this podcast, I share how to do exactly that.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Self-awareness is the "birthplace of change" - you can't change what you can't identify or name. Think of it as a lantern illuminating the next few steps, not the entire path. It works hand-in-hand with mindfulness and self-compassion.Three Ways Self-Awareness Serves You:Building a friendship with yourself - Getting to know your personality, identity, and authentic self beyond conditioningAwakening to current patterns - Recognizing unconscious behaviors, triggers, and capacity limitsIdentifying and pursuing true desires - Moving past surface wants to discover what you genuinely needSelf-awareness isn't about fixing yourself - it's about building a compassionate relationship with who you are while creating space for growth and change. Remember: you're not in competition with anyone, and life isn't a race.Learn about my cycle of self-awareness + self-compassion + imperfect action = agency in episode 62.The Life Visioning Course: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/guided-life-visioning-process/The Feel More Empowered Workshop $7: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/feel-more-empowered/The Hope Map Assessment: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/take-the-hope-map-assessment/

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Martine Cohen - author, speaker, and transformative coach - who brings a powerful blend of intellect and intuition to the conversation around healing, identity, and reclaiming your power from the inside out.  After a traumatic car accident and concussion changed the trajectory of her life, Martine began a deep journey into her own psyche, peeling back the subconscious layers that were blocking her light. What she discovered led her to write a book: No More Layers: Discover You Inner Power and Reclaim True Freedom from the Inside Out - a guide to navigating fear, breaking free from old beliefs, and returning home to who you truly are.  Martine's work is all about alignment, not performance. In this conversation, we talk about:  Why true transformation isn't about adding more, but shedding what's not yours  The tension between intellect and intuition  How a breakdown can become the most sacred doorway to freedom  The sneaky ways 'success' can become a mask  What it really means to live from the inside out  This one's for every woman who's tired of the masks, ready to reclaim her wholeness, and willing to meet herself beneath the layers.  Martine's Website  Feedspot Top 80 Badass Female Podcast List

How do you establish a belief in your true identity amid other people's expectations? Host Tina Yeager sits down with Christie Award-winning novelist and former therapist Amanda Cox for a heartfelt conversation on navigating the complex space between others' expectations and our true identities. Together, they explore how the search for belonging, the weight of family dynamics, and the pressure to seek approval can both hinder and reshape our sense of self. Amanda shares her personal journey, professional insights, and the powerful ways her novels—like The Bitter End Birding Society and He Should Have Told the Bees—reflect the challenges and triumphs of embracing who we are truly meant to be. If you've ever struggled to filter out the noise of other voices so you can step boldly into your God-given identity, this episode is just for you. Tune in and discover practical wisdom, encouragement, and hope for your own path toward authenticity and healing. Highlights from the Conversation: Why so many women struggle with identity: Amanda shares how our sense of self is shaped by family, friends, and society—and how we can untangle those outside influences from the truth of who God made us to be. Approval vs. Belonging: Learn the difference between healthy belonging and people-pleasing, and the freedom that comes from living for divine approval rather than human applause. Recognizing your strengths: Are you quiet, observant, or sensitive? Amanda reminds us that what's seen as a “weakness” by others may actually be your God-given superpower. Family dynamics and healing: Ever found yourself slipping back into old patterns the moment you go home? The episode explores how deep-rooted family roles shape us, and practical ways to heal and grow—even when our loved ones don't “get” the new us. Overcoming shame and bitterness: The team discusses the pitfalls of living in the “shoulds” and how forgiving others releases us to become the person God intends us to be. The healing power of fiction: Amanda's novels, including The Bitter End Birding Society and He Should Have Told the Bees, invite readers to process universal emotions like isolation, shame, and hope—showing that fiction can be a gentle guide through real-life challenges.

Have you ever felt like you're supposed to be on a grand quest to "find yourself"? What if that's the wrong quest entirely? In this episode, we're tearing up the treasure map and talking about what it really means to discover your true self. It's not about finding a hidden, perfect version of you, but about embracing the messy, beautiful, ongoing process of becoming. We'll explore how to follow the small breadcrumbs of joy, make peace with your "cringe" chapters, and find the courage to be a beginner again. This isn't just a pep talk; it's a permission slip to stop searching and start creating a life that feels like home.

In this profound episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by somatic therapist and trauma guide Julian Bermudez for a deep, grounded conversation on healing trauma, reclaiming authenticity, and understanding emotional survival patterns. Together, they unpack what trauma really means—not as a clinical label, but as a disconnection from the self—and how real healing begins by turning inward, not by reinventing. Julian shares insights on how suppressed emotions manifest in daily behaviors, how societal rewards reinforce trauma patterns, and why healing is not about becoming someone new—but returning to who you've always been beneath the pain. A must-listen for anyone seeking emotional clarity, post-traumatic growth, and embodied wholeness. About the GuestJulian Bermudez is a therapist and emotional healing guide specializing in somatic awareness, post-psychedelic integration, and trauma recovery. He offers deep support for those ready to stop performing, soften survival strategies, and return to a state of connection, presence, and authenticity. Key Takeaways Trauma isn't just what happened—it's what happens inside us when we don't have the support to process it. Suppressing emotions and becoming overly agreeable are common survival patterns that often begin in childhood. Healing is not about fixing—it's about remembering and returning to the self we abandoned to survive. Authenticity isn't found, it's uncovered by listening to the pain in our body and tending to the unmet needs underneath it. Real recovery begins with curiosity: “What is this feeling trying to teach me?” Disconnection is not a flaw—it's an intelligent adaptation to trauma. But we can choose to reconnect. Facing what scares us within often reveals an inner child needing care, not punishment. Healing doesn't require radical reinvention. It starts with compassion, presence, and slowing down. .
