Awareness Explorers episode 223: Katharine Pincham, Guest Explorer

In this episode Katharine Pincham shares her background studying Vedic and Yogic scriptures in the Himalayas and her transformative spiritual opening. She also delves into the three gunas—fundamental tendencies of nature—that can foster detachment and create an environment for recognizing the existential freedom of awareness, independent of the mind's changing states.

• Includes a guided meditation from Katharine helping us to tune into our senses and observe that awareness remains ever-present, undisturbable, and constant, regardless of changing sensations, or thoughts, or temporary physical and mental phenomena.

Awareness Explorers episode 222: Mystery and Motivation

In this episode we discuss motivations for spiritual practice, contrasting suffering-based motivation with curiosity and the desire for truth, especially around anomalous and miraculous experiences.

• Includes a guided meditation helping you to remember events in your life that might be outside of the way you normally look at the material world, and showing you how an open heart is a doorway to mystery and wonder.
