This podcast episode discusses the issue of "fixing” others. This is a deeper level of unhealthy caretaking that negatively affects both parties.

This podcast episode discusses the peddling of spiritual practices to prop up our idealized self-image. These masks that we all wear are tonified by things such as the promise of personal success. The counterpoint to such false paths is the variety of losses that we suffer in life. The gift of suffering is that it tears down the idealized self-image and gives the true self an opportunity to shine through.

In this podcast episode, we discuss issues around food and diet in a body-obsessed culture. The topic of food is examined from a cultural and psychological perspective as well as through the lens of Chinese Medicine. Not only are we what we eat but also how we eat is a window into how we are.
For an in-depth guide to Chinese Medicine for the layperson, here are two book recommendations: Prince Wen Hui's Cook: Chinese Dietary Therapy by Bob Flaws and Honora Wolfe and Between Heaven And Earth by Harriet Beinfield and Efrem Korngold.

In this podcast episode, we discuss the anxiety and fear that invariably will arise as we delve into our spiritual path. Their full eruption, though never comfortable, is a sign of our progress. Our becoming conscious of the unconscious material is part and parcel of the work. All that needs to be done is for us to make room for and learn to tolerate the discomfort of it all.

In this podcast episode, we discuss the topic of judgment. An unexamined and reflexive behavior, judgment of others has tangible negative consequences. We are all being asked to up our game and clean our backyard. Examining the act of judgment and healing its root causes is a powerful step towards that end. The act of judging as well as dealing with the painful emotions of being judged is discussed. Here is an invitation to lessen the load on ourselves and the burden carried by those around us by stepping back from this toxic behavior.

In this podcast episode, we discuss some pointers on the issue of helplessness. There are points in our spiritual evolution when we are overcome by deep feelings of helplessness. We can feel paralyzed and face tremendous anxiety, fear as well as confusion. The old ways do not work, and the new has not revealed itself. Here is a gentle reminder that this, in fact, is part and parcel of the path. Learning to surrender into the feelings of helplessness by holding space for ourselves is a solid way to navigate through this dark night of the soul.
