Here’s the brand new instalment of my series of conversations with Spiritual Teachers. In this episode the tables are turned as I’m interviewed by my previous guest, Tom Thompson, from the Awakened Heart Centre. We explore my childhood on the Isle of Man, my early drive for Enlightenment, travels to India, gurus, mystical experiences, and my Awakening in a university library aged 29.
I hope you find our conversation useful and would love to hear your feedback.
How could a Seagull save your life? To celebrate the second anniversary of my book ‘The Treasure House—Discovering Enlightenment Exactly Where You Are’, I’ve recorded a reading of one of my favourite chapters recounting how a chance glimpse of a seagull from my bedroom window, triggered an insight into the miraculous nature of each moment, and released me from a deep depression.
In this episode, I talk with Meditation Teacher, Writer, Astrologer and Ishaya Monk, Ishtar Howell about his near-death experience as a boy, the remarkable moments of ‘high strangeness’ which followed, asking the Dark Mother for help, and how to feed your monkey mind the right bananas.
In the first of my new series of conversations with spiritual teachers, I speak with Tom Thompson about Kundalini Yoga and Awakening, cults and conditioning, neurodiversity and the freedom of not knowing. I hope you find our conversation useful!
I was recently interviewed by Ted Henry for his wonderful Souljourns YouTube channel, exploring my new book “The Treasure House” and some of the insights contained within it, as well as the story of my own awakening, 10 years ago.
This is the second conversation we’ve had about spiritual awakening, meditation and non-duality and Ted is a natural presenter (and ex-newsreader), with his own spiritual practice. Our connection is a bit choppy here and there, but he’s done a great job of editing it down to some valuable nuggets, which I hope you find useful.
What if the freedom we long for isn’t ahead of us in the future, or hidden in a special meditation, but here and now as the very essence of who and what we are? Here is a recent conversation between Sufi mystic and author Zahir Khan and myself, exploring the themes of spirituality, meditation and enlightenment.
This talk was recorded on the 3rd August at the iMuseum Lecture Theatre, Kingswood Grove, Douglas, Isle of Man.
I had the pleasure of being interviewed about Awakening, Enlightenment and Non-Duality by Ted Henry from the Souljourns Youtube channel. I hope you find it useful.
HOW TO BE ORDINARY: A SHORT GUIDE TO HAPPINESS
Happiness lives in the present moment. Here’s my TEDx talk from 2014 exploring the fascinating relationship between paying attention and being happy. I hope you find it useful!
You Are Not What Your Think – Conscious TV interview
In 2014 I had the pleasure of travelling to London to talk to Iain McNay from Conscious TV about my own Spiritual Awakening at the age of 29, and the struggles and insights which apparently led to it. The treasure we seek is always available here and now. I hope you find our conversation useful.
