mindfulness practices, breathing exercises, ramblings and discussions + music and laughter.

🎤Sharings about the fulfillment gained from tangible, useful work in the material world (as compared to computer work); more gentleness and insights as we observe the birches outside our living room window swaying with the wind and putting up no resistance to that which is right now. We hope this will be a nice podcast to listen to if you're having an active-mind or crazy-emotions kind of a day. May it be a breath of fresh air and a returning back to yourself and the here and now. Enjoy!

What does abundance and true wealth mean to you? We’re musing here today on how the happiest people we know (and some of the happiest experiences of our own lives) have been in the context of material humility, not abundance. How can we be materially wealthy and happy, long-term, at the same time? Do we have the role models to show us the way?

Today we dive deeper into what’s going on inside of our minds. How do we get distance from these thought patterns and stories that grip our attention so persistently? Are you your thoughts…? Maybe dis-identifying with thoughts is the first step we need to take. Let’s explore self-observation and why G. is convinced that self-observation is one of THE most important personal practices of his life. There will also be more on how to “play” with thoughts in a light, fun way, and how to actually stop worrying all the time. Do we dare to believe that it’s possible to keep this wild mind on a short leash? Absolutely we do, or, in any case, we’re 90% sure 😃 Yes, it takes a lot of practice, but it’s also really worth it.

Which tools work best for you when you're dealing with your wild mind? We'd love to hear from you: [email protected]

This convo started out about different communication styles between men and women, as we also touch upon different perceptions of reality between the sexes. And then..it snowballed into another discussion completely (time stamp 11:35) : can (heterosexual) men and women be friends (and not more)? Is it possible to have a deep, meaningful friendship with someone of the opposite sex when we are not in a romantic relationship? The question and discussion triggered quite a bit of emotions for both of us. We’re still breathing through this and releasing lots of old stuff that got triggered, especially sadness. And that’s OK too. Keep breathing! 🌻🌼🌸

What are your experiences? What do you think?

The thought process and that crazy mental chatter can really feel overwhelming sometimes. Let’s talk about a few strategies including the “crazy uncle” strategy, working with inner child (and, FYI, did you know that being with children is so triggering to our own inner child?). How can we move to a more creative mode? Is it possible to play with time? Can you take some distance from your own mind? The challenge continues!

(OSTROŻNIE - warto rozpocząć nagrywanie na małej głośności!) To jest kolejne nagranie spontaniczne z lasu. Jakość dźwięku jest różna. Dzisiaj, o ruchu i trochę o tym jak my się ruszamy, gdzie, kiedy i po co. Tak, gramy w hackysack (Zośka). Jak można mieć ruch pracując przy komputerze? To istotne pytanie bo również sporo czasu spędzamy przy kompie. Komary tu nas bardzo motywują do stałego ruchu. Jak zawsze, konstruktywne komentarze i feedback są bardzo mile widziane!

An off the cuff episodes comes to you again…from the forest. Here we’re sharing about the importance of how we handle ourselves, and our sexual energy, after an important, romantic relationship comes to an end. Is there something we can do to better learn from the experience? Maybe there’s a way to clean up one’s own energy in such a fashion that the next, new relationship is going to feel even more fresh and exciting? Chime in with us here as we share about some of our own experiences and reflections post break-ups. There's lots here to explore when it comes to managing self + managing sexual energy. Do you have your own strategies that have worked well for you to recover and reconnect with yourself after a tough break-up? What have you seen work (or not work so well) for you and for those close to you? Comments are more than welcome and can be sent to: [email protected]

Time gives insightful perspectives. Today we want to share with you about our own experiences with plant medicines (we’ll mostly refer to Ayahuasca, but there are many more out there such as Peyote, etc.). We did not know each other at the time but we both experienced these powerful plant ceremonies in South America at various moments in our past (7, 10 or 15 years ago). We’ve stayed lucid since then continuing with daily or regular practices of meditation, yoga and breath work as our main spiritual tools. We both in our separate observations have known these plant medicine experiences to bring profound healing and insight…and also profound difficulty and challenge to our own psyches. We both know those who have had a very difficult time living “normal” lives after participating in these shamanic circles. Intense experiences can be beautiful, yes, but sometimes the intensity can feel like too much. Are we playing with fire when we engage in such state-altering experiences? How do we make the integration of these experiences possible in the long-term and still live balanced, healthy and happy lives right back here in the “mundane” worldly existence? We are asking the following: How can we “see God” (and our own shadow) and go back to our regular work and lives? And can we ever, in a lucid state, experience that beautiful ceremony-like energy again? :-) This is a huge topic, and one we may revisit in the future too.
