| 27 May 2016 | Accepting Life As It Is [Part II] - Shiva and the Stranger [Episode 19] | 00:20:18 | |
One of the biggest challenges we all face in life is learning to accept life as it is, instead of how we think it should be. In part two of our mini-series on Accepting Life As It Is, we dive into a story of Shiva, an old woman, and a strange guest. The story shows us all the opportunities we have to close our selves off to what life is offering, and how we can learn to stay open in those moments. We’ll also look at how we treat strangers in our western culture, and how that contrasts many cultures of the world that welcome the stranger in as God him/herself. If you struggle with accepting difficult moments of life, this story will give you inspiration and insight into how to more skillfully and lovingly accept life as it comes.

| 26 Apr 2016 | The Perils of Consumption: A Ganesha Story [Part 2] [Episode 11] | 00:26:29 | |
What is the source of fulfillment? Does it come from finally getting that thing you’ve always wanted? The new job, the new house, new car, new relationship? In Part Two of our three part mini-series on life’s purpose and the temptations of wealth and success, we’ll explore the story of Ganesha and Kubera, the King of Gold. We’ll see what happens when you get caught up in the materialism of the world, always putting off your happiness until some time in the future once you’ve finally gotten that “thing”, and how this saps joy and fulfillment from your life. This is a great episode for you if you’ve ever found yourself thinking that once you get this thing or that thing, that you’ll finally be happy, only to then realize afterwards that you still feel unfulfilled.

| 24 Jul 2024 | The Importance of Emotional Processing and Regulation - DENT Model Trauma | 00:26:44 | |
Emotional processing is essential for humans, but our society doesn't value or provide time for it. This is why when you finally have some space, like on a vacation perhaps, you may get hit with a trauma response seemingly out of nowhere. Just like it did for me on my recent trip to Paris. I’m not just talking about the ones we all know, fight, flight, and freeze. There are three more “F”s that belong to that system! Today I want to share with you the DENT(Dynamic Experiential Narrative Theory) model of trauma. Let’s discuss: 🔹Your body’s different responses to trauma, stress, and anxiety, including flight, fight, freeze, fawn, flood, and fatigue. 🔹How somatic or embodied yoga practices can be helpful for emotional processing and regulation. 🔹Why listening to your body and practicing self-care is crucial for maintaining balance and well-being.

I connected with Josh through a mutual friend. After checking out his website and Youtube channel, I knew immediately that his story needed to be shared. Today, Josh shares how he went from competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, winning world championships, to a state of extreme physical pain and suicidal thoughts in the span of only two weeks. After trying all traditional psychotherapies, with extreme physical pain and inflammation all over his body, Josh traveled deep into the Amazon to explore other realms via plant medicines – hoping for a miracle cure. Unraveling the mystery behind his sudden illness will have you at the edge of your chair. Don’t miss this powerful story! --- Josh Macin – “This detox program feels like I am sitting on a pot of gold. Like I’m holding a universal secret and it wants to explode out of me. This universal secret has been a cumulative effort of my own three years of forced schooling, working directly with pioneers in the health world, and from the countless hours studying the public work of several different world-class detox doctors. The amount of cumulative suffering that went into this program is probably equivalent to that of a small impoverished country. The amount of time deciphering the truth runs into hundreds of thousands of hours, and the amount of money spent is well into the millions. Through everything, I have learned that detox is more of an art than a science.”

Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, BKS Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, TKV Desikachar. These are all names that many in the yoga community are familiar with and are considered by many to be the pioneers of modern yoga. But thanks to the work of modern yoga scholars like Elliott Goldberg, we are learning about numerous other figures who influenced the modern practice of yoga. Who were these characters and how did they affect how yoga evolved in modern times? Join us with Elliott Goldberg, yoga scholar and author of The Path of Modern Yoga: The History of an Embodied Yoga Practice, as we discuss a figure named Yogendra Ji who paved the way for the modern yoga teacher and set the stage for how hatha yoga would be taught in the west.

| 10 Jan 2017 | The Secret History of Hallucinogens in Christianity - Conversation with Dr. Jerry Brown [Episode 84] | 00:46:43 | |
Many scholars have speculated about the use of psychedelics, also known as entheogens, in the early stages of many religions. Is there any evidence of the use of entheogens in early Christianity? Our guest, Dr. Jerry Brown, author of the Psychedelic Gospels, believes there is. Join us with Dr. Brown, as we discuss his findings and the evidence he and his wife found on an epic journey to dive deeper into the origins of early Christian mysticism.

| 06 Oct 2016 | What Are The True Origins of Modern Yoga? [Part II] - Conversation with Christopher Tompkins [Episode 57] | 00:44:53 | |
In Part II of our conversation with yogi and sanskrit scholar, Christopher Tompkins, he expands on his amazing findings that include an important missing link between the modern popular postures and ancient tantric traditions! Were early yogi masters who brought yoga to the west teaching everything they knew or was something intentionally left out? Where does this leave the modern practice, so popular today? Where do we go next? Join us for the conclusion of our conversation about the true origins of modern yoga. -- The true origins of the modern practice of Hatha Yoga, practiced by so many in the world today, is hotly disputed by many scholars. Some people believe most of the postures practiced today were invented by a great yogi and sage, Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, in the early 20th century. Others say the postures are much older, but how much older? If the postures did exist hundreds or thousands of years ago, were they practiced the same way? Are we missing anything in our modern practice? We explore these and other questions in this two part series (Episode 56 and Episode 57). Christopher P. Tompkins, MTS, MA is a Yoga practitioner and Sanskrit scholar specializing in the tradition of Tantric Shaivism. He has three degrees in Religion and Sanskrit, including Masters Degrees from Harvard and UC Berkeley. His research focuses on the ritualized practices of Hatha Yoga as originally presented in the earliest surviving Tantras. He founded the Kashmir Shaivism Preservation Project, which seeks to preserve and share the literal legacy of Kashmir Shaivism. To date, he's acquired over 24,000 pages of manuscripts spanning the vast range of Philosophy, Ritual and Yoga representing the medieval Tantric tradition, most of which have never been seen in the West. Christopher lectures around the world in universities and Yoga centers on the history, philosophy and practices of Indian Yoga.

| 12 Jul 2023 | The Yoga of Setting Boundaries - 3 Actionable Tips | 00:21:36 | |
I used to hear the word “boundary” and thought that it meant putting up an energetic brick wall. This was not fun (and not feasible). In today’s episode, I share practical tips about what I’ve learned on setting and holding boundaries with an open heart. Most of us have been conditioned to think that “boundaries = confrontation” and even physically tense up when we have to hold a boundary or say “no.” The tips I share today will help with that: 🔹Notice boundaries in nature 🔹Make your boundaries intensely personal (even if they are outlandish) 🔹Get clear and accept the boundary within yourself self (otherwise you can’t expect anyone else to uphold it 🔹Deliver your boundary with an open heart Gratitude to one of my teachers, Kednra Cunov, who inspired the tips in this episode.

What is Kriya Yoga? It depends who you ask! In this episode, I work to demystify this term. We look at how “kriya yoga” is interpreted by 🔹 Paramhansa Yogananda 🔹 Ayurveda 🔹 Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras In this episode we talk about Yoga Sutra 2.1 and why I’m obsessed with this idea of “yoga in action” alluded to by “kriya yoga.” Jumping from a basic asana practice, where you move through each yoga posture for physical benefits, to a spiritual practice as outlined by the kriya yoga tradition can be a little confusing. But it doesn’t have to be! Listen to this episode to learn more.

She explains to us how we can understand archetypes as divine guides and teachers on our journey of transformation.

| 04 Oct 2016 | What Are The True Origins of Modern Yoga? [Part I] - Conversation with Christopher Tompkins [Episode 56] | 00:41:05 | |
The true origins of the modern practice of Hatha Yoga, practiced by so many in the world today, is hotly disputed by many scholars. Some people believe most of the postures practiced today were invented by a great yogi and sage, Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, in the early 20th century. Others say the postures are much older, but how much older? If the postures did exist hundreds or thousands of years ago, were they practiced the same way? Are we missing anything in our modern practice? In Part I of our conversation with yogi and sanskrit scholar, Christopher Tompkins, he tells us the story of how he came into yoga and what him led him to these mysterious ancient sanskrit texts. He goes on to explain the discoveries he has made and speaks of the true origins of modern postural yoga. Has he found a missing key to unlock the postures so commonly practiced in the world today? Join us in this exciting conversation about the roots and origins of modern yoga! Christopher P. Tompkins, MTS, MA is a Yoga practitioner and Sanskrit scholar specializing in the tradition of Tantric Shaivism. He has three degrees in Religion and Sanskrit, including Masters Degrees from Harvard and UC Berkeley. His research focuses on the ritualized practices of Hatha Yoga as originally presented in the earliest surviving Tantras. He founded the Kashmir Shaivism Preservation Project, which seeks to preserve and share the literal legacy of Kashmir Shaivism. To date, he's acquired over 24,000 pages of manuscripts spanning the vast range of Philosophy, Ritual and Yoga representing the medieval Tantric tradition, most of which have never been seen in the West. Christopher lectures around the world in universities and Yoga centers on the history, philosophy and practices of Indian Yoga.

| 18 Dec 2024 | Somatic Shaking: What Is It? Why Does it Work? | 00:27:45 | |
Do you ever feel like you’re shaking with rage? Or do you tremble with anxiety? Because your body uses shaking as a means to release stress and trauma from the body! This is a normal response, but cultural conditioning has suppressed our natural inclination to shake off tension. It’s important to care for our bodies, just as we would for pets, and learn to close the stress cycle. Somatic shaking can help.
Take a breath, give yourself a little shake, and let’s talk about how: 🔹Neurogenic tremors occur in both animals and humans after stressful events 🔹Time does not heal wounds; it covers them with fascia 🔹Incorporating shaking into daily life can help manage stress 💗Get My Free Somatic Yoga Workshop => https://www.brettlarkin.com/embodiedyoga

| 08 May 2018 | Aligning Thought and Action for Exponential Results - Conversation with Beth Weissenberger [Episode 179] | 00:35:41 | |
Meditation teaches us that we are not our thoughts, yet controlling our never-ending inner dialogue is a massive challenge. Today, executive coach Beth Weissenberger describes how she helps CEOs and professional NFL players achieve their desired results by gaining awareness of their own inner dialogue. Beth provides a framework of how we can ‘name’ the voices inside our head for greater awareness and ultimately, elevate our consciousness. Before recording this podcast, Beth told me she wasn’t sure if her message would resonate with yogis. One of my favorite parts of this interview is that so much of what she shares is almost identical to what’s taught in a variety of yoga traditions. If you’re looking to achieve a greater sense of awareness over your thoughts and your life, this episode is for you!

It's said that ayahuasca has been used in South America as a plant medicine for thousands of years and we see it experiencing a wave of interest and popularity in an underground movement in the United States. Wanting to know more about this indigenous medicine, our guest Rachel Harris, a trained psychologist, questioned hundreds of people about their ayahuasca experiences here in the United States. What she learned confirms many of the benefits we see from other early research being done on ayahuasca and other entheogenic plant medicines.
