What is God? 9 Ancient & Modern Theories

Tue, 21 Jun 2022 04:30:51 GMT

In part one, we’ll explore ancient philosophies that are often credited with forming the foundations of modern belief systems. And in part two, we’ll take a look at modern theories of god that try to exist at the intersections of science and spirituality.

7 Dream Types You Never Knew You Had

Tue, 31 May 2022 04:00:45 GMT

In this episode (the first of our three part series) we are getting dreamy! Why talk about dreams? It’s a deep dive into our subconscious, and just might be the closest thing to a mindful, spiritual or supernatural experience most of us may ever know. We ALL do it but we rarely understand it and we rarely talk about it. What would happen if we focused on it — what would we see, realize and learn about ourselves... or even others? What are dreams trying to tell us? This 3-part series explores these questions. In the first part of this first episode, we’ll cover a canned history of dreams in the ancient world, the brain science of dreaming, and modern categories of dreams. In the second part, we’ll throw all of it out the window and I will take you on a dream visualisation exercise to uncover dream states that are commonly experienced but not commonly discussed.

Talkin' Bodies

Tue, 17 May 2022 04:00:57 GMT

In the final episode of our three-part foundational series, Journey into the Self, we chat about how both our ego and soul communicate with us via our physical bodies. Part one is going to be a surface-level crash course into how different belief systems interpret our physical, 3D forms. Part two, you guessed it, we are going to share some tools you can use to help you tune into your body and what it might be communicating and how to tell if it’s your ego or your soul speaking.

What is the Soul?

Tue, 10 May 2022 04:00:46 GMT

What exactly is the Soul? It can’t be physically felt like the human body, and it’s not loudly interrupting your thoughts all day long. In the second part of our three-part foundational series, we are going to discuss some different perspectives on what is commonly called the soul. In part 1, we will revisit some psychological and yoga theories from last week, take a peek at how ancient cultures thought about this aspect of human existence, and get woo by discussing soul contracts. In part 2 we will teach you about some tools you can use to help you become aware of, assess, and begin actioning your soul’s desires by tackling beginner mindset.

My frenemy the EGO

Tue, 03 May 2022 04:00:37 GMT

Want to understand the voices in your head... did you even know you had them? This episode kicks off a 3-part foundational series that dives into “what makes us...us?” We start this series with the all too familiar Ego. What is the Ego? In part one, we discuss the parts of the mind through both a western and eastern lens—attempting to break down both psychology and yoga philosophy. In part two, we do some "shadow work" by using the lens of the Enneagram to begin unpacking the different fears that we all let drive the car at some point in our lives.

The Dark Side of The Woo

Tue, 26 Apr 2022 04:00:51 GMT

Just because we're open-minded doesn’t mean we subscribe to everything… or everyone. In our intro chat, we get honest about some of our turnoffs and stigmas surrounding the woo community. In part one we delve into the 8 red flags for how to spot a toxic guru, specifically spirituality's ugly cousin 'conspirituality.' In part two, we humbly explore some best practices for how to be a responsible beginner on a woo journey.

How we became “woo curious” and what we wish we knew early on, beginning with a journey into the self. In part 1, we cover changing trends in beliefs brought on by Covid, Chelsea’s fall into the astral dream world and Mishaun’s first astral takeoff from sleep paralysis! In part 2 (24:25), we introduce the question “Who am I?” through the lenses of the ego (3D, shadow self) and the soul (5D, authentic highest self, spirit); how to listen for their “voices”, and some tools to unpack what they are trying to say about our goals, identities, and the lies we may be living with.

We’re Mishaun and Chelsea, two mostly normal people who coincidentally fell ass-backward into an exploration of the unknown, and became “woo curious.” Allow us to introduce ourselves, the goal of our podcast, and our fascination with life’s big questions. In future episodes, we’ll delve into topics of self-discovery, spirituality, the supernatural, the paranormal and beyond. We’ll learn right along with you by breaking down big theories, confronting healthy curiosities and doubts, and exploring the confounding questions we all secretly have about what lies beyond this spinning ball.
