The Dimension ApproachIdentifying with ExperienceMuch to Lance's chagrin, we're talking about identity again. But if it wasn't so confusing, it'd be easy to disidentify! When we're overwhelmed, what are we identified with? Our relationship to dimensions should be flexible and always shifting depending on the context. We want to be versatile in our mode and not so easily overwhelmed, and the dimension approach can help! Thanks for listening - please send questions and responses to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com
2024-10-041h 12The Dimension ApproachBecoming BuoyantFighting against storms and currents, falling in the water, staring in the depths, floating, swimming, and becoming a fish - it's a wide-ranging metaphor of our relationship to water and what we allow in our conscious awareness. Becoming buoyant is an aspect of resilience - knowing the water you're in and holding the complexity of its depths without fear of being consumed by them - and it's a big part of the Dimension Approach. Thanks for listening - please send questions and responses to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com
2024-09-271h 11The Dimension ApproachConfusional StatesConfused? Good! We're normally averse to the state of being confused, but in order to learn, adapt, and re-orient, we have to be able to tolerate confusion. When you're confused you can either identify with it (quick trip to madness), or if you let go of it there's more of an existential nothingness that starts to arise. But in the face of that existential nothingness there is a you that still exists - letting consciousness move through the mind and tolerating the confusion promotes exciting healing and growth.

2024-03-081h 01The Dimension ApproachArmoringWelcome back! This week's episode is on Armoring, and Lance sees it as literally as important as explaining the concept of temperature. Sometimes we're more comfortable or less comfortable, and it's related to our difficulty in allowing the truth of something. Everything is exactly as it should be - a wonderful, magnificent joke/creation/farce that is simultaneously deeply sacred, poignant, and meaningful. But we are armored against that experience in seemingly countless ways. Thanks for listening, please send any comments or questions to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com
2024-01-261h 24The Dimension ApproachMetabolismWelcome back to the fourth entry in this series of the Dimension Approach podcast. This week's episode is a discussion of Metabolism.

2023-10-201h 32The Dimension ApproachHellWelcome to the third episode of this multi-week series. This week's episode is a discussion of Hell.

2023-08-111h 36The Dimension ApproachLibidinality and EvilFirst in a multi-part series that gradually unfolds as a beautiful description of what brings each of us from origin to the present moment. What each of us is working against, unknowingly, is a culture that has put the conceptual mind on a pedestal, re-enforcing entanglement with the ego. But there are so many layers and energies operating from above and from below the conceptual mind; it's such a tiny sliver of our being. We experience intense anxiety trying to govern that multitude with just the conceptual mind. Video of this conversation is available at https://www.youtube.com...
2023-08-041h 10The Dimension ApproachParenting ourselves, parenting each otherWe all have patterns of orientation, anchoring, and identifying in relationship to different energy centers. We have state experiences related to each, and we have a level of consciousness at each. There are so many different combinations that can lead to very good or mediocre karaoke performances (context in the episode). Everything seems to be on its own trajectory for development and growth, and it's hard to impossible for the ego to remember that in so many different contexts. Thank goodness we have consciousness to shepherd and parent us through. Please send any questions to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com. Thank...

2023-06-183h 02The Dimension ApproachExperiencing new dimensionsWelcome back to the Dimension Approach! In this episode Lance dives into a topic he's sometimes hesitant to discuss - his experience of higher dimensions that inform his practice. There are some relatable principles than can help differentiate between dimensions conceptually and experientially. If you have any questions or comments, please reach out at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com
2023-05-121h 35The Dimension ApproachReflections and ConnectionsHappy New Year, and welcome back to the Dimension Approach! This week's episode focuses on what it's like to actually access a dimension and what we can begin to notice in that process. We are unconsciously dependent on the reflections of our projections and the connections we do and do not make to the dimensions within ourselves. What are we blocking out? What are we attaching to? What are we relating with? Can we relate to ourselves and other via our conscious mind, and how do we begin to integrate what we experience? Thank you for listening! Please send...
2023-01-061h 09The Dimension ApproachDoes the ego wake up?Welcome back! This week's episode is an in-depth look at our many self-imposed obstacles to waking up. What do we bring with us from the past? What do we not acknowledge about the present? What do we expect of ourselves that we don't expect from others, and vice versa? It's all more complicated than any of us seem to be able to acknowledge, and maybe (definitely) we should take it easier on ourselves. For more information on the Dimension Approach, please visit dimensionapproach.com!
2022-12-161h 09The Dimension ApproachReceptivity vs PresenceWelcome back to the Dimension Approach podcast! Season 3 kicks off with a discussion of receptivity vs presence and some experientials that highlight the differences between the two and between presence and what is often our default state. If you'd like to learn more about the Dimension Approach, please visit dimensionapproach.com
2022-12-0244 minThe Dimension ApproachEmpathyWelcome back to the Dimension Approach! This week's conversation is a dive into the nature of empathy - the different means by which we can empathize with ourselves and others. Lance goes into detail on the dynamics of beginning to empathize with physical parts of ourselves to begin to heal the splits in our psyche. Then the conversation turns to the subtle complexities when we try to empathize with others. Thank you for listening!
2022-03-041h 02The Dimension ApproachPhysical Work - Orienting, Anchoring, IdentifyingWelcome back to the Dimension Approach! In this episode Lance gives some examples and details around the paradigm shifts necessary to do physical body work in the Dimension Approach. What we're orienting to, where we're anchoring, and how we're identifying impact our ability to recover from injuries and traumas. Hope you enjoy the discussion!
2022-01-281h 02The Dimension ApproachThe imaginal becomes real for GeoffHappy holidays! This week's episode dives into interpersonal relationships and the imaginal realm.

Please send any questions to dimensionsapproachmedia@gmail.com
2021-12-1031 minThe Dimension ApproachLooking for a paradigm shiftThere's a shift that happens when you start to examine what you call self. One goal of the dimension approach is to help facilitate that shift. Thank you very much for listening! Please send any questions/comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-10-1534 minThe Dimension ApproachS2E31 - Geoff's StoryHello, and welcome back! Re-releasing Geoff's story of his spiritual experience and subsequent work with Lance.

2021-10-081h 17The Dimension ApproachMonads, Dyads, and TraumaApologies for the delay, we've had some technical issues this week! We continue discussing the dynamics of monads, dyads, and triads in relation to trauma. Lance uses this example to dive into how the Dimension Approach works and what some of the key aspects of the healing work are. Thank you for listening! Please send any questions or comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com
2021-10-0127 minThe Dimension ApproachMonads, Dyads, and TriadsWe start by discussing containers for experience which leads to tantrums. Tantrums takes us to developmental psychology, and that brings up monads and dyads. It's a fascinating dive into relationships and some interesting theories. Thank you for listening! Please send any questions or comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-09-2434 minThe Dimension ApproachSweet PersonalityThanks for listening! This week's episode is about personality, ego, and character structure.

Lance and Geoff have been recording in person the last couple weeks to finally capture Geoff's story of how he came to work with Lance. This first episode starts with what awakening is and how it can be experienced, then dives into Geoff's experience that eventually landed him in a Minneapolis psych ward. Thanks for listening! Please send any questions or comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com
2021-08-2031 minThe Dimension ApproachPersonality and CharacterIt's the Dimension Approach - after dark!

Please send any questions/comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com
2021-07-3131 minThe Dimension ApproachChild and Dragon Conclusion (Love wins)Spoilers in the title. We wrap our discussion on the child and dragon analogy. Lance goes into detail on the balance between love and hate in the psyche and the fear we have that love doesn't win, that the hate, the darkness, the evil will win in the end. Lance shares a deeply personal experience of grace in his life that revealed some truth about that struggle. Thank you for listening! Send any questions or comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com
2021-07-2322 minThe Dimension ApproachChild and Dragon, Part 2Fun thoughts from this episode: When we orient to a duality, we're using our ego mind. Just because the light is turned on doesn't mean the darkness has gone away. Also, with our first in-person podcast we did our first in-person experiential exercise around consciousness and ego. Thanks for listening!
2021-07-1646 minThe Dimension ApproachChild and Dragon, Part 1For our first in-person podcast ever, we dive into one of Lance's favorite metaphors - the child and the dragon. This one has been especially helpful to Geoff in his own journey and we'll get into that in future episodes. Part 1, though, will lay out how the child and the dragon exemplify two sides of a dialectic within ourselves that we may consciously or unconsciously inhabit depending on the content and context we find ourselves in. Thank you for listening! Please send any questions to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-07-0924 minThe Dimension ApproachFoundational Assumptions, Part 2As we dive deeper into the foundational assumptions of the Dimension Approach, Lance sheds some light on his understanding of consciousness. Consciousness, just like sunlight, has these powers. It doesn't just light our way; it effects the very thing it's looking at. Thank you for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-07-0230 minThe Dimension ApproachFoundational Assumptions, Part 1Throughout our time working on the podcast, Lance has been working to create written descriptions of the approach for the website. That ongoing work has been part of the conversations this season, and this week's episode focuses on some foundational assumptions about consciousness. They're not specific to the Dimension Approach, but they are essential to understanding it. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-06-2532 minThe Dimension ApproachLove, Hate, and Ideal BlueprintThis episode is a conversation that's a bit wide-ranging; we discuss dialectics, specifically love and hate. And then we get into a discussion of the concept of ideal blueprint on the Dimension Approach and somehow end at artificial intelligence. Hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-06-1832 minThe Dimension ApproachThe 0 Chakra, Part 3Our final episode on the 0 chakra - we do an interesting experiential exercise around 0 chakra and the connection to ground. We also go into a bit more detail on what the individual experience was for each of us. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-06-1135 minThe Dimension ApproachThe 0 Chakra, Part 2Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-06-0430 minThe Dimension ApproachThe 0 Chakra, Part 1Wait, wait, we forgot one! It turns out chakras are more like integers than whole numbers, and there's a 0 chakra. Geoff gives Lance a hard time for leaving it out as it turns out it's pretty important to development. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-05-2824 minThe Dimension ApproachPsychotherapy in Practice, Part 2The discussion of psychotherapy in the Dimension Approach continues, and we touch on some classic themes like anxiety and reprogramming vs deprogramming. Lance explains how anxiety is a system overwhelm when facing energy that can’t be metabolized. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-05-2116 minThe Dimension ApproachPsychotherapy in Practice, Part 1In this episode Lance discusses general theory about psychotherapy and how awareness of subtle energy is a key part of psychotherapy in the Dimension Approach. By bringing awareness to the energetic dynamics between client and practitioner, there is greater opportunity for change in existing patterns and structures. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-05-1429 minThe Dimension ApproachSo, what's conscious contact?Unconsciousness is the result of nonacceptance, and ego mind wants to destroy the thing that's not been accepted. But if you want to eradicate it, accept it via consciousness. Conscious contact is a celebration after the success of the process - an acknowledgement or a reunion. It's a kind of validation for the work put in. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-05-0732 minThe Dimension ApproachSo, what's conscious mirroring?Welcome back! We talk a bit about the dynamic between conscious mind and ego mind in the dimension approach before we discuss conscious mirroring in detail. Transference is a big part of mirroring - whatever is there is getting mirrored, however great or awful. But once it's mirrored we can begin to disidentify with it. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-04-3040 minThe Dimension ApproachSo, what's conscious containment?We talk conscious containment, and it gets a bit vulnerable at times. Conscious containment allows for the energy that's being allowed to move via conscious holding to begin to cohere. But that coherence can go in unexpected directions. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-04-2333 minThe Dimension ApproachSo, what's conscious holding?Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-04-1647 minThe Dimension ApproachSo, what's conscious witnessing?The methodology for the Dimension Approach, as we've discussed before, is 5 different ways of consciously attending to a dimension of experience. This week's conversation dives into conscious witnessing and differentiating being aware of something vs being conscious of it and the state shifts associated with that differentiation. Thanks for listening! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com.
2021-04-0923 minThe Dimension ApproachSo, What's the Dimension Approach? (Part 5)We continue our discussion of structures with some practical examples of The Dimension Approach at work in bringing conscious attention to the structures we live by. And we get a little more insight into the golf example Lance goes back to time and time again. It was consciousness all along. (Part 5) Thanks for listening! Please send any questions or comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com
2021-04-0234 min
The Dimension ApproachSo, What's the Dimension Approach? (Part 4)As we continue defining the Dimension Approach we spend a little more time discussing structures - ego structures and conscious structures. One tag line for describing the Dimension Approach is "Conscious attention to the structures we live by." We are all operating out of structures, if we recognize it or not, and bringing conscious attention to those structures is key to awakening, development, healing, and performance (Part 4). Thanks for listening! Please send any questions or comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com
2021-03-2642 min
The Dimension ApproachSo, what's the Dimension Approach? (Part 3)We continue our conversations defining the Dimension Approach, in the context of its aims (awakening, healing, development, and performance). This episode focuses on development especially in the context of ego and conscious structures. That leads, as it often does, to a lot more questions about structures, so the next couple episodes will dive into structural theory in more detail (Part 3). Thanks for listening!

2021-02-2628 min
The Dimension ApproachSubtle Energy Deep Dive, Part 4We continue our discussion of "waking up" vs "growing up" in relation to the chakras and development. That requires clarifying nonpersonal vs transpersonal - concepts that can sometimes get conflated. In the context of personal vs transpersonal, we get back to discussing the "higher" 5th-7th chakras as well. (Part 4 of 5). Thanks for listening! Please send any questions or comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com
2021-02-1929 min
The Dimension ApproachSubtle Energy Deep Dive, Part 3The shift from 3rd to 4th chakra merits a deeper discussion, so we revisit the idea of 4th dimension vs 3rd dimension (4th chakra vs 3rd chakra). Lance describes some of his own 4th chakra experiences and the ways in which his visual field shifts. He also discusses how the approach shifts when working with clients' different chakras. (Part 3 of 5). Thanks for listening! Please send any questions or comments to dimensionapproachmedia@gmail.com
2021-02-1243 min

The Dimension ApproachContainmentLance describes the Containment aspect of the Dimension Approach in more detail. It's a vital part of parenting and personal development. A lot of the conversation centers on the role of the parent in a child's development and the similar role of the therapist or healer in interacting with a client. Different parts of ourselves need different things at different times in their development. Photo by rfirman via FreeImages https://www.freeimages.com/photo/lonely-explosion-1191657
2020-11-1353 min
The Dimension ApproachObject Relations, Part 2Lance explains parts of the self described in structural psychology - ego, superego, and id. We also get into the idea of cathexis - investing id energies, libidinal energies, in an object. What we do with those energies in our object relations is fundamental to how we operate. (Part 2 of 2) Photo by Marcel Hol via FreeImages https://www.freeimages.com/photo/enlightenment-1580467
2020-11-0639 min
The Dimension ApproachObject Relations, Part 1We all focus our attention in one way or another, moving from one object to the next. The goal with object relating is to begin to be aware of what you're attending to (object to object, context to context). Because without that awareness, our idea of self can shift in ways entirely dependent on the objects and contexts around us. (Part 1 of 2) Photo by Marcel Hol via FreeImages https://www.freeimages.com/photo/enlightenment-1580467
2020-10-3034 min
The Dimension ApproachConscious Awareness, Part 2The truth of consciousness is that no reality on earth is going to destroy it. If you're looking from conscious mind, you are not vulnerable or in danger. That's an incredibly important grounding for self work. Lance discusses what that grounding makes possible through the dimension approach of witnessing, holding, and mirroring. (Part 2 of 2) Photo by Fabian Nick via FreeImages https://www.freeimages.com/photo/enlightenment-1580467
2020-10-2333 min
The Dimension ApproachConscious Awareness, Part 1We continue discussing the differences between ego awareness and conscious awareness. Describing consciousness with terms from the ego realm remains a challenge, but Lance discusses the vibratory difference between the experiences. Conscious awareness brings new meaning to the same experiences, revealing a new depth of experience and the layers/levels of experience that are inherently present. (Part 1 of 2) Photo by Fabian Nick via FreeImages https://www.freeimages.com/photo/enlightenment-1580467
2020-10-1629 min
The Dimension ApproachPerformance Work, Part 2Lance uses acting as a metaphor for understanding our unconscious desires, motivations, and intents - how we can consciously become aware of parts of ourselves. Our unconscious motives drive us and influence our understanding of reality. But in our society today there's a trend towards understanding reality as a social construct which bypasses personal responsibility. (Part 2 of 2) Photo by Michael Kaufmann via FreeImages https://www.freeimages.com/photographer/el_pulento-32315
2020-10-0830 min
The Dimension ApproachPerformance Work, Part 1Performance Work, the final pillar of the Dimension Approach, is the goal of performance enhancement in life, work, sports, and creative endeavors. Performance is determined by many of the various aspects of the dimension approach, and the goal is to stop getting stuck in certain states that impede our ability to perform. (Part 1 of 2) Photo by Michael Kaufmann via FreeImages https://www.freeimages.com/photographer/el_pulento-32315
2020-10-0240 min
The Dimension ApproachImaginal Work, Part 3It's the final episode on imaginal work, and we start with a continued discussion of the direct experience of and as consciousness. Imaginal and consciousness experiences can feel destabilizing, because they challenge our 3D understanding of the world and our selves. Lance breaks down the differences between imaginal and conscious experiences in a helpful way. (Part 3 of 3) Photo by Felipe G via FreeImages https://www.freeimages.com/photographer/el_pulento-32315
2020-09-2528 min
The Dimension ApproachImaginal Work, Part 2What does successful imaginal work look like? You become conscious of an experience as an object instead of as subject/self. You realize and become aware of the fact that your actual self is bigger and more powerful than the thing you were possessed by. The Dimension Approach can facilitate those inner shifts in perspective and sense of self. (Part 2 of 3) Photo by Felipe G via FreeImages https://www.freeimages.com/photographer/el_pulento-32315
2020-09-1828 min
The Dimension ApproachImaginal Work, Part 1Our discussion of the most "dangerous" aspects of the Dimension Approach, the Imaginal Realm, begins by contrasting the imaginal realm and the conscious. While it is potentially threatening, it can't be eliminated and turning back to it and looking at it consciously is essential to depth psychotherapy and shamanic/alchemical approaches. (Part 1 of 3) Photo by Felipe G via FreeImages https://www.freeimages.com/photographer/el_pulento-32315
2020-09-1132 min
The Dimension ApproachConsciousness Work, Part 6It's the final installment on consciousness work before we wade into the imaginal realm. Lance distinguishes between ego awareness and consciousness. Our ego ends up becoming our biggest idol; we put it at the center of our universe, and its shoddy construction is the trap that leads to malaise and depression. The Dimension Approach creates space for the deconstruction of our identification with and as ego. (Part 6 of 6) Photo by Beatriz Chaim via FreeImages https://www.freeimages.com/photographer/berka-42079
2020-09-0430 min
The Dimension ApproachConsciousness Work, Part 5This week's episodes dives back into the "dark, bad things" we don't accept as part of ourselves and the cycle of projection and rejection we all find ourselves in. We are plagued by thoughts, feelings, and desires that don't match the cultural norm. The Dimension Approach works to bring consciousness to all of those parts of ourselves to break that cycle of projection and foster better relationships to ourselves and others. (Part 5 of 6) Photo by Beatriz Chaim via FreeImages https://www.freeimages.com/photographer/berka-42079
2020-08-2842 min
The Dimension ApproachConsciousness Work, Part 4We are stuck in a conceptual world, seemingly divorced from actual events and real time. The dimension approach focuses on working in real time by fostering the development of the conscious mind. Lance and Geoff discuss conscious mirroring and how it's used to bring awareness to parts of our psyches that we're split off from so that we can consciously choose what we focus on from day to day. (Part 4 of 6) Photo by Beatriz Chaim via FreeImages https://www.freeimages.com/photographer/berka-42079
2020-08-2123 min
The Dimension ApproachConsciousness Work, Part 3Doing consciousness work on yourself is a challenging and repetitive process - what are we aware as, of, and from? The language around it is a complicated thing, so Lance and Geoff discuss some examples of what becoming aware of our awareness looks like. It's not always a positive experience! Consciousness sees the truth, and it shows the darkness. The dimension approach is about orienting our attention from consciousness and being with whatever comes up as a result - the light and the dark.

The Dimension ApproachConsciousness Work, Part 2Lance and Geoff discuss the challenges of consciousness work that arise in different schools of thought. Consciousness sheds light on ego constructions, but the layers are deep and varied. The sense of self that the ego clings to is so ineffectual and at times dangerous - leading to nervousness, insecurity, and anxiety. But the risks of that status quo are even greater.

The Dimension ApproachConsciousness Work, Part 1Lance and Geoff set out on a multi-part discussion of consciousness - the methodological glue that holds the Dimension Approach together. James Baldwin's description of divine love is an apt analog - "Love does not begin and end the way we think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war, love is a growing up."

The Dimension ApproachMental Emotional Work, Part 3Geoff and Lance discuss void experiences, detachment, and dissociation and their relation to self awareness and consciousness. Our identities shift from object to object in our awareness, and the goal of the dimension approach is to begin to step outside that pattern to find a more solid ground for our identity.
