April 20, 2022 07:00 - 11 minutes - 8.25 MBIn this episode I share some ideas that I heard in the audio book " The five levels of attachment" by Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. I talk about what I mean by attachment, and how it can prevent us from living happily if not understood and managed.

How to be spiritual
March 25, 2022 11:00 - 11 minutes - 8.04 MBIn this episode I talk about a worrying trend I sometimes see in spiritual circles where people find themselves being dictated to. Spiritual practice that is liberating and leads to a more loving, joyful and happy experience is great.
