Spirituality is a word that has about 8 billion definitions. So what the heck is it? How does it relate to religion? Can you have one without the other? Are they mutually exclusive or do we need both to reach our ultimate potential?

In this podcast, I explore the history of religion spirituality. I talk about their impact they've had on people and on society as a whole. And I share how we can navigate the confusing terrain of a world full of people who all claim to possess the secret and sacred truth.

All addictions rob us of the chance to be at deep peace and rest. They take over our mind, and chasing the high becomes our full-time job with overtime. Only when we don’t know the deep peace within do we search for it in vain outside of ourselves.

Enjoying our favorite activities without attachment and craving is the key to freedom. It is when we become attached that we sacrifice our future well being for short term relief and escape.

In this podcast, I share how to get in touch with your inner peace and bliss, rise above addiction, and become free from the impulses and whims of the ego.

Without every single part of bicycle, a bike would cease to be a bike. Like each link in a bike chain, every part is integral to the form and function of the bicycle. So too, every single one of us is an expression of the universe in this moment, inseparable and indistinguishable.

When we realize we are the oneness of the universe, we stop falling for the illusion of separateness and isolation. All the self-pressure, self-consciousness and self-doubt fades away as we realize there is no self. In today's podcast, see beyond the veil of duality, discover your true nature, and feel the universe within.

There is only one way to overcome our worries, fears, anger and mental suffering — we must understand the nature of our mind. When we understand the mind's nature, we become free from its tricks, games and neurotic tendencies.

In today's podcast, I share two simple steps to understanding the mind and freeing ourselves from the inner chaos. I talk about what the mind is, how to deal with it when it becomes obsessive and negative, and how to break free from the illusion that the mind is who we truly are.

What does it mean to listen to our heart? How do we even do that? And how do we resolve the inner conflict between our head and our heart?

We need the mind's critical thinking, but we also need the heart's trust. We need the mind's protection, but we wouldn't be here without the heart's love. For most of us, this creates an imbalance inside ourselves.

In today's podcast, I share the difference between the mind's intelligence and the heart's wisdom. I talk about how to connect the two. And I discuss two simple ways we can make sure they are working together in harmony and alignment.
