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.

In this episode I talk about the nuances and intricacies of internal practices vs visualization based practices. In some systems, visualizations are used to provoke a change in the body, in others it is recommended to stay away from visualizations and stick to direct awareness of physical sensations. I actually use both modes of practice, but for very different reasons (and outcomes). When you have a basic framework for how to approach the two modes of practice it becomes easy to differentiate and understand what each practice is useful for and what it is not useful for.
Towards the end of the practice, I mention Josephine McCarthy. You can find her work here:

I also mention at the start of the podcast that I've just released a new online course, which you can find right here:
