Inhabit: Your Fear

Inhabit: Your Fear

You don’t need to push away your fear, neither do you need to surrender to it.

Inhabit: Your Resistance

Spiritual conversations often emphasize the importance of overcoming our resistance and accepting the world for what it is, exactly as it is.

We can’t simply accept what is, we need to put ourselves on the line for what can and should be. How can we bring more mindfulness, skillfulness, and embodiment to our resistance, even while seeing everything as always-already perfect?

Inhabit: Your Truth

Ryan and Corey devote an episode to the theme of fully inhabiting, embodying, and enacting truth — how to find it, how to wield it, and how to avoid the false certainties fed to us by both mainstream and fringe media.
