Awake In RelationshipREWIND: Birth of the spiritual warrior with Susan Gillis Chapman075 When war and rumours of war are everywhere in the news how we personally relate to uncertainty and show up for others matters more than ever. The temptation to harden our hearts and join the chorus of polarizing voices is difficult to resist. However, it doesn’t matter what side of a conflict we identify with or the opinions we hold. Toxic certainty, hatred and fear are contagious and the real enemies of peace. Spiritual warriorship has existed in eastern and western traditions for thousands of years to show the way of bravery. In times of crisis the spiritual wa...

Awake In RelationshipKids these days: Rethinking the youth mental health crisis with Dr Nevin Harper074 Since the time of Socrates people have been opining and pearl clutching about the wayward state of the youth. For better or worse, Millennials and Gen Z have received a tremendous amount of attention and public scrutiny from professionals and social media influencers. With labels like ‘the anxious generation' more young people find themselves defined through a mental health lens and aggressively treated for conditions that previously may have been considered adaptive challenges of adolescence.Rather than focusing on a perceived fragility of young people or finger pointing at over protective parenting, the origins of the youth men...

Awake In RelationshipNever let a good break up go to waste with Cole Zesiger074 As human beings our nervous system is evolutionarily wired for connection. While our life circumstances have changed radically, our neolithic brains are still playing catch up in the modern world. When a rupture happens in a close relationship we feel it on a primal level. Core fear gets stirred that harken back to early childhood experiences and even deeper survival instincts coded in our genes. In a time when more than half of marriages end in divorce it is critical to understand a roadmap for self care and the science of a good break up.In this episo...

Awake In RelationshipMasculine spirit and the recovering ‘nice guy’ with Jason Lange073 Only recently have both women and men been able to liberate themselves from the yoke of patriarchal norms. The transition to a more egalitarian, post modern society in the last 50 years also meant a rejection of historical narratives about manhood, including what some mythological traditions call the masculine spirit. In the absence of this archetypal energy, many men languish and struggle with a deep insecurity about their place in a fast changing world.While the media focuses on caricatures of alpha males and examples of ‘toxic masculinity’, the shadow side of men, especially well intentioned and conscious men, m...

In contrast to the dumpster fire of social media is the rich tradition of a salon culture that thrived during the age of enlightenment. From the ferment of these social gatherings flowed a new world of reason and possibility, including egalitarian systems of self governance and the inalienable rights that have come to define the West, but are now under threat....

As young children we got to experience the wonders of life through an open heart, but also the pain of separation and in some cases, betrayal. The process of adulting in a materialistic culture necessitates constructing elaborate strategies and conceptual shells to navigate the chaos of life and keep us safe. However, the more we identify with our thoughts and live life from head, the more disconnected we become from our true nature and sense of...

The more one commits to waking up, the more life is punctuated by times of intense loneliness and a longing to be liberated from the sense of separateness. The nature of love is expansive and free flowing. Only when we fixate and try to constrain it does it become transactional and begin to sour. Without warning the transcendent joy of a passionate love affair can turn to self doubt and neediness.According to the Buddhist tantric tradition, love is a vast storehouse of energy that exists beyond the d...

It also holds a vast treasure trove of latent gifts and the potential of love waiting to be expressed if we are brave enough to look.In a time when 50 percent of marriages end in divorce and1/3 of...
