S3 - E5 - Prof. Dan Vercammen - Exploring the Depths of Chinese Culture and Taoist Philosophy — Part Two

During the second part of our episode together, Dan KJ Vercammen shares with us how Taoist philosophy offers a unique perspective on death that differs from the Western worldview. He explains that Taoists view death not as an end, but rather as a natural part of the cycle of life. Death is seen as a transformative process, where energy is released and transformed into something else rather than disappearing entirely. This perspective is rooted in the Taoist belief in the interconnectedness of all things and the idea that everything is constantly in a state of flux and change.Dan also touches on the concept of reincarnation in Taoism and how it relates to the cycle of life and death. He explains that in Taoism, reincarnation is not seen as a linear process, but rather as a cyclical one, where souls are reborn and transformed in an ongoing cycle of life, death, and rebirth.In addition to discussing death, the episode also explores the symbolism of the yin and yang symbol in Taoism. Dan explains how the yin and yang symbol represents the balance of opposing forces in the universe, such as light and dark, hot and cold, and male and female. He goes on to explain how the yin and yang symbol is a visual representation of the Taoist concept of harmony, which emphasizes the importance of balance and the interdependence of all things.Overall, this episode offers a fascinating look into the philosophical underpinnings of Taoism and Chinese culture. Through our guest Dan KJ Vercammen's expertise, we gain a deeper understanding of Taoist views on death and the cyclical nature of life, as well as the symbolism of the yin and yang and how it relates to the concept of harmony.Get in touch with Dan:https://www.taoiststudies.org/linkedin.com/in/dan-vercammen-25b20821https://www.instagram.com/tasc_cac/Learn more about the courses: https://www.taoiststudies.org/about-4Support the showShow Links & Support:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3obV6VsApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3UDu99iGoogle Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3UHbWrAPatreon: www.patreon.com/mindunpluggedshow/LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/mindunpluggedInstagram: www.instagram.com/mindunplugged.show/Website: www.mindunplugged.show/

S2 - E1 - Dan Millman - On Learning How To Live Life To The Fullest And How You Can Never Lose Your Way

Hello everyone and welcome to a new episode of MIND unplugged. You tuned in today for an inspiring episode about humor, paradox, and change. Today I have the pleasure of talking to Dan Millman also known as the creator and the author of the Way of The Peaceful Warrior. Dan is a former world champion athlete, Stanford University gymnastics coach, martial arts instructor, and Oberlin college professor. He has authored 18 books published in 29 languages and his book The Way of the Peaceful Warrior was adapted to a film in 2006. Today's episode is about learning to live life to the fullest. It's about the way life moves us and exposes us to such different circumstances that aren't always pleasant but are part of The Way. We must learn to observe seeing life as a school, as a spiritual experiment where no one is the same and where self comparison has no importance or need. Comparison only shows what is either inferior or superior, and it represents tremendous disrespect to our own process and we then become victims of our own existence. Also, whether our lives are pre-determined or free will is the one who determines it, we are yet to find out in this episode.Join Dan and I on an unforgettable journey on the streams of existence.

She is a songwriter and has one solo album called Quiet at the Kitchen Door; this album, I can tell from my own way of experiencing it, it is an album that’s been my retreat for many years; if I had some downs and wasn’t feeling very well, this was the album to calm me down and bring me back up to the surface. The intimacy, the sensitivity of this album is simply beautiful. We all have to deal with every day struggles. In this episode, Sarah shares with us the challenges of her journey and her bold approach to life and work.Today's episode is very special to me. Sarah will walk us through her journey on dealing with something mysterious that has been influencing her life for a long time now. In addition to that, this episode highlights an exchange of ideas and experiences of Eastern and Western medicine, making music, and being a songwriter and author. Last but not least, Sarah will share with us her ways of navigating through life, creating a sacred (if I may) creative space to grow and deal with everyday living.

S2 - E4 - Christopher Paolini - On Writing, Life, Stardust & Dragons

Hello everyone, and welcome to a new episode of Mind Unplugged. You tuned in today for an inspiring episode about writing, storytelling, dragons, dragon riders and of course, personal development. I have the pleasure of hosting, Christopher Paolini! Christopher is the author of the Inheritance Cycle, The Fork, The Witch and the Worm, and his Sci-Fi debut, To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. Among other things, Christopher is an educator and inspiring personality in the world of writers and beyond. Today's episode is a walk back in time for me. A time when I was a child, and I was reading Christopher's books. Yet, this time, having the chance to speak to the creator of the Inheritance Cycle and seeing through his eyes the adventures that brought about the stories in his books. How he started writing at 14 years old and dealing with the youthful inexperience of life at that age; how the process of writing and getting started in this business is extensively laborious yet can be quite compelling for one's heart and spirit and how structuring stories and ideas can actually get you as an aspiring writer on the right path. These are all topics yet to be uncovered through this episode. The self-work is not to be neglected as long-term rewards tend to be deceiving in terms of being truthful to one's process. However, building habits based on short-term goals with small rewards can lead to a much more meaningful and successful work and, ultimately, life.

S2 - E5 - Meghan Read - On Intuition, Self-Work & Holistic Healing Practices In Corporate And Personal Worlds

Hello everyone, and welcome to a new episode of MIND unplugged. You tuned in today for a lovely episode about mental, spiritual and physical wellbeing. Today I have the pleasure of talking to Meghan Read. First of all, Meghan is a dear and inspiring friend of mine. She is a well being and spiritual seeker in our human realm, active in the fields of Reiki, crystal and sound healing, life coaching and more; we will learn much more about her activities throughout today’s episode. She advocates mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health in both personal and corporate environments. In this episode, Meghan shares her stories and how she started walking down the path of holistic healing. It all began with the belief that the human body can heal itself; with enough determination, faith in one's mind and body, one can regenerate himself. This episode also features a visualisation exercise. This exercise can be tried out by yourself by following her guidance. This exercise can help us determine how our own intuition speaks to us. May that be through hearing, feeling, seeing, through the mind's eyes and ears that is something we are all gifted with. Meghan has devoted herself to bringing holistic healing practices to business-corporate environments worldwide. At this moment, she started building a community where corporate-working individuals (and not only) can join. This community work helps with:Reduce Stress and BurnoutIncrease Connection, Inclusivity & BelongingFind Balance & Get InspiredIncrease Joy and Positive EnergyBe Your Authentic, Whole, and Best SelfIn addition to those mentioned above, the right tools are there for them as well, tools such as: Monthly Virtual Group Reiki SessionsLive Guided Meditation SessionsPop-up Workshops & Live CoachingPractical Tips, Tools, & InspirationKnowledge ShareSpecial Guest SpeakersWeb & App AccessFinally, I recommend you get in touch with Meghan or give her work a chance and explore her services. If there's something constantly uncertain, it is the things we do not know whether or not we resonate with. If you have ever been interested in coaching or holistic healing practices, she's the go-to person.

Hello everyone, and welcome to a new episode of Mind Unplugged. You tuned in today for our second episode with the one and only Christopher Paolini!

Some other topics we discuss in this episode are whether the universe follows an independent order or does free will exist. We also converse about matter and consciousness of and in the universe, death and afterlife and how learning to find meaning in life is perhaps the greatest challenge for us as humans.
