There is real magic and possibility in understanding the wisdom of our nervous system, learning how to listen to it, care for it and harness its power. In this episode, I share part of a Nervous System Wisdom Masterclass I ran this month, with new science and new potentials. In terms of our nervous system and our body's reality, we live in two states of being — survival or creative. I know which one I want more of! Let's dive into this together...

Sometimes the big picture is much bigger than we can see. In this episode, I have a conversation with Annu Tara, founder of Aurora Earth, about her perspective on the sacred earth, what she calls the 'Restorative Timeline' and the way mental constructs have created a false over-lay to natural reality. This is a conversation full of the cosmic, the sacred feminine and a chance to step into another perspective of life beyond what we can see.

Your emotions are biochemisty. Your body is an energy conductor. Observing your thoughts is the most powerful technology for change (and here's why). This episode is full of science and three of the most powerful ideas of mind-body connections that can inspire us and guide us when we want to get unstuck, change or uplevel our inner experience of life. This is the mechanicals, the why and the how behind "becoming the change" we all want to see in the world.
Come hang out more with me in the Messy Luminous Being newsletter, weekly messages that will bring you gritty real-ness, meditation science and inspiration about becoming our most true and beautiful selves. https://mailchi.mp/sarahbhunt/messyluminousbeing

How can we place our own life journey in a larger landscape that we might call the Mythic Dimension of our lives? In this episode, I talk with rites of passage guide, founder of the Art of Rewilding and self-proclaimed 'feral Buddhist', Natasha Lythgoe. We discuss the way wildness and mindfulness merge, how to find space for the parts of us we often don't want to claim, what rites of passage such as vision quests can be like, and how to bring the idea of the mythic dimension into our everyday lives.

Reverse the way you see it. This wisdom teaching from Tibetan Buddhist meditation is all about taking mind-training into the wilds of messy real life. But how do we change the way we see things? And what does it mean to say — Life is happening For you? In this episode, I wanted to share my own mental reframe process with specific real life examples. This is the kind of meditiation practice that doesn't take any time, and is happening all the time. This is mental alchemy...transforming life into the path to Awakening.

What is the relationship between the inner and the outer? Between our Soul-self that exists as part of the great mystery, and our physical body? And are there aspects of ourselves that are lying dormant and looking for places to express themselves? These are some of the many questions I talk about with the wonderful Fiona Sears, reiki practitioner, energy worker and skin-rewilding tallow maker, who insists that the things we put into and around our bodies have energy.

In this episode, I wanted to share a moment from my own messy real life that gave me a ton of wisdom about finding a new level of self-acceptance. What is so interesting about parenting is the reality that we don't choose our children like we choose our friends. We get the children we get and life teaches us how to learn and accept and love them for who they are in all their messy beautiful humanness. The truth is, we also don't choose ourselves! We don't get to decide what we're good at or what we find difficult. So whether you're a parent or not, this is a story you need to hear about what might happen if we really accepted ourselves the way we learn to accept our loved ones. It's wisdom in the midst of messy real life. The way our life becomes the path.

Wisdom has most often been passed from one generation to the next through stories. How should we live? What is our relationship with the universe and ourselves? What is the deeper meaning of our life? In all cultures, insights have been held in stories, and these stories have been told as medicine for the soul. In this episode, I talk to storyteller Claire Hewitt. We talk about how story is connected to land and place, how sometimes stories come to us at just the right time and how women's wisdom has been carried and also hidden within story.

Your body is a sacred interface between your deep self and the 3D world of form that we live in. This is why, taking care of our bodies and learning how to communicate with our bodies in the language it understands is the most powerful way to step into our most true and beautiful version of life. In this episode I talk about what it means that our body is an interface, how to use posture and the breath to change the interface, and what that does to our experience of what we call 'reality'.

How can we make things easier on ourselves while still creating the life we really want? How can we genuinely stop overworking, pushing ourselves beyond our limits, and running out of steam? Three inter-related ideas come to mind, as we step through the threshold of this next year, and take that moment to pause and reflect on how we're living — consistency, ease & essentialism. In this episode, Sarah shares how these three ideas converge to create a new guidance system for Effortless Effort as we head into the next year.

A novella of magical stories and spells of wisdom. The tales of the oracle tells like seeds, like threads that weave their way into your bones and have the power to transform.

And in this final tale, she invites you into a dark passageway deep inside her home.

The Oracle's Tales is a novella of magical stories and spells of wisdom. The oracle is a healer, and most come to her for help with their physical ailments. But this is not the oracle's true calling. The oracle is a healing of the suffering of the mind.
In this third chapter, the oracle tells you the Tale of the Wild Horses. "You have come here," she says, "thinking of yourself as an ordinary person. Someone with problems and worries and things to do. But beneath all of this you are a daughter of the grasses and a son of the stones. So listen..."

The Oracle speaks tales in the Old Language, tales that weave their way into your bones and have the power to transform. And if you dared to visit the her at her home by the cliff, what tale do you think she would tell you?
Once there was, and once there was not and once there will be again, a young girl who dreamed that she stood before a long path that was littered with flecks of gold... Listen now to the story of the treasure in the cave, for sometimes it is told like this, and sometimes it is told another way...

As we come into the beginning of winter, how can we align our busy outer lives with our inner desire to slow down, curl up and rest? How do the energies of this season invite us to shift our inner practices like yoga or meditation? And what lies waiting for us, if we allow ourselves to really descend with this yin energy? In this episode, I talk to Marit Akintewe about seasonal yoga and the different kind of energy and inner power waiting for us when we are willing to really come into flow with this slow season.

"You will never believe or surrender to any thought that is not equal to the way your body feels." This is a powerful truth, and the thing that makes mindset work really hard. Sometimes we genuinely can't shift our mindset because our body is stuck in a totally different vibe. In this episode, I talk about how to work with our experience of embodiment and take the body along with us on our inner journey. This includes both the science and the meditation advice on how we can feel the inner body and learn what the body is saying. This is how movement can also be a method of meditation and a doorway to our inner selves and the experience of our own luminous Being.

The benefits of mindfulness and meditation are promoted everywhere. So why aren't we all sitting? In this episode, I talk with mindfulness teacher Aiko Smith about the invisible standards we're all trying to live up to and the political and cultural reasons why we can't sit in stillness. We also discuss the forgotten power of community practice and how Aiko's own life experience made her look in the mirror and say "I'm going to save myself".

Heading out on a walk, I started thinking about the many ways I practice mind-calming and all the ups-and-downs-and sideways realities of having a long term meditation practice when you live in messy real life. So this episode is a chat, along a woodland walk and with a few startled pheasants, about how I'm thinking about meditation now after many years of weaving it in alongside life with kids, work and a constantly changing schedule.
