  • Exploring Reality and Consciousness with Deepak Chopra

    The "Gateways to Awakening" episode with Deepak Chopra delved into profound philosophical and spiritual discussions about human existence, consciousness, and the nature of reality. Deepak's exploration of 'pure potentiality' and his perspectives on awareness, the purpose of life, and the interplay between our biology and spirituality, were not only intellectually stimulating but also deeply enriching. His approach to addressing conflict and suffering adds a practical dimension to these existenti... more

  • It’ll stop you in your tracks and change your life

    This podcast has the magical ability to tell you exactly what you need to hear, in the moment you hearing it. What I love about Yasmeen’s interviewing style is she pushes her guests for actionable takeaways everybody can implement. She asks each guest to drill things down in simple steps. So you leave each podcast with a plan you can try and a call to action where you can read/watch/find more info.

    Yasmeen’s voice is so soothing. Her guests are extremely interesting. The energy this podcast gi... more

Confessions of a Crypto Thief with Jeffrey Grubert | Gateways to Awakening
Q: Jeffrey, can you walk us through the moment you realized you had been hacked and what you thought was happening at first?
I noticed $35,000 had vanished after an initial $500 task was resolved on a blockchain; I followed the process trusting a supposed mentor and a support channel, which led to the full loss of $72,000 as I tried to recover the funds but kept being guided back into a cycle of further risk.
The Science of Flow, Intuition, and Becoming “As Gods” with Steven Kotler
Q: Where does it live in the brain when someone is accessing these states?
Intuition and flow engage a broad network, but in peak states the brain augments pattern recognition and internal state monitoring, with key activity tied to attention and the prefrontal dynamics that support focused attention and reduced time perception.
The Tibetan Book of the Dead: What Bardo Teaches Us Now with Ann Tashi Slater
Q: Can you share a personal story from your family history that connects the Bardo teachings to your own voice as a writer?
A central thread is how my great grandfather helped bring the Tibetan Book of the Dead to the West, which anchors my work as I weave memoir, family history, and Buddhist philosophy to articulate a contemporary voice for timeless wisdom.
The Tibetan Book of the Dead: What Bardo Teaches Us Now with Ann Tashi Slater
Q: What day-to-day practices or mental trainings help cultivate a sense of calm and groundedness in the face of collective transitions?
Practices include recognizing impermanence in daily moments, rehearsing acceptance without surrender, and engaging with our actions—physical, verbal, and mental—in a mindful way to reduce reactivity.
The Tibetan Book of the Dead: What Bardo Teaches Us Now with Ann Tashi Slater
Q: I'm wondering if you could actually kind of kick us off and help us understand what is the bardo and how do you understand the bardo is something we experience throughout our lives?
Bardo means 'between state' and it encompasses not only death and rebirth, but all transitions in life—times of change, uncertainty, and movement. It's a guide to navigate these shifts with acceptance, which then enables action in body, speech, and mind.
