After more than 2 decades exploring both eastern and western methods of self cultivation, I started to reduce my body of knowledge to something more essential at its heart, and explorative in its application.I stopped focusing on the techniques, and started focusing on which qualities the techniques were igniting in me and how those qualities might be useful in other areas in my life and how I might apply them.
I broadly break my approach into 4 main categories: physical cultivation (all things to do with bodily development and care), internal cultivation (bringing the process of opening and releasing into the internal bodily landscapes), cultivation of the mind (including development of the imaginal spaces), and finally exploring the context within which all this development takes place: non-duality.
Join me as I dive into the many discoveries I have made along the way, as well as interviewing many of the super interesting people I have met in my travels and through various practice circles.

#010 - Jackson Collings - Nuances of Daoist Internal Cultivation
In this episode I interview my friend and fellow cultivator Jackson Collings. When I asked him what he wanted to call the episode, he said "Daoist Bro Down" which is pretty apt, we basically spend the whole time geeking out about the finer points of cultivation from the Daoist perspective.
I spent a little bit of time prompting Jackson to talk about the difference between his previous explorations in various esoteric realms and his current practice, and some of his responses were pure gold. There is a lot of info in this episode about the nature of a really structured practice, in particular he noted that most of his crazy woo woo experiences have lessened significantly, but despite that (or more likely because of that) he is much happier and content in his life.
A must listen episode for anyone in esoteric circles.
If you want to get in touch with Jackson, his instagram is right here:https://www.instagram.com/jackson_collings/
As a side note, we didn't get much into his art in the podcast but Jackson has recreated the famous Neijing Tu, with the guidance of his teacher, so you can be sure it's full of all the requisite juice. You can order a copy right here:https://www.jacksoncollings.com/store
