Nostalgia Is Keeping You From Discernment if it goes unchecked. This Month Faern is sharing with us how we can review where emotions are attached to our thinking and processing by addressing nostalgia. She is letting us know how to see this and rearrange it in order to bring the most helpful aspects forward and leave the rest to compost with the big giant shifting we are in the beginning of.

We are inside a set of larger energetic waves and Faern is sharing with us how this can help us through the Summer and Fall.
There is an analogy in here we think will be helpful in the comprehension and integration of HOW this energy is helping your body.

Being honest with the Self is commonly overlooked. This month we are reinforcing last month's episode on identity. This is important because a lot of people don't realize they are dealing within identity concepts because of how this word is perceived in American society. Holding a false identity is no different than not being honest with yourself.
Faern is also sharing with us how to connect with our "Zero Point". Her personal experience and explanation of it.

Be a person, not a PERSONA. Identify why you bring things into your identity. In this episode Faern is asking us if we take the time to look at the root of how we are being beyond healing all the programming and imprinting from experiences. This matters because this is where we are, this is our earth. Head in the heart, feet on the ground. Simple "Centering with Breath" practice at the end of the episode.

This episode is about how to "deal" with now.
In this month's episode Faern is discussing division and spiritual propaganda with us and shares how Inner Authority is our most important asset. This may SOUND familiar but she has brought up much more current details and is assisting us to transform how we see what we think we know. We must apply our own earthly experiences in order to truly glean any worthwhile meaning from the Universe.

We are inside a "Choice Point" and we need to all take part. Faern is offering what she feels is the most direct route in the current times which may (or may not) be a SHIFT in the focus of some people's spiritual practice. In all honesty what we are feeling around here is that the more people to do this right away the better.

Update 12/19: This episode's details are not limited to the "timeline" discussed, you can take on what Faern is suggesting at any time. Where we are right now is a very good time to start- better than any time we have had so far because it is entirely new in how living life feels to the body.
In this very special final 2025 episode Faern shares with us where are energetically and what to do ABOUT it. This also includes a timeline of 3iATLAS' closest pass to earth on Dec 19 and how this shift in how everything feels is meant to assist our growth individually and globally. Winter Solstice is Dec 21 and this is also a day to set new intentions and to truly look with new sight at our lives.

This previous episode is a must listen : Your Attention Is A Currency, How Are You Spending it?
Dear Listener,
As far as we can tell our attention is being hijacked and has been for generations. The only thing we can really consider authentically as a first step is taking it back in the moment. In this episode Faern is giving us ONE way to approach it in the easiest way possible. Try not to make it complicated.

When We Scatter.
In this episode Faern is sharing about the mind scattering. Not in how to stop it or anything like that, but in how it is described in some Scriptures and translations (ancient texts). She begins far back in time with the building blocks of our lived experiences, moves us through what it means to be scattered or not scattered and more.
In the end she gives us a way to approach ourselves if we do feel scattered.
The four books Faern mentions in this episiode:

Take a break and look around see what is actually happening nearest to where you physically are. Simply put, our spiritual practices are meant to give us a grounding within ourselves in order to not fall apart when things get surreally difficult, as they are now, in order to clearly take whatever action you are to take.

At this stage of human & societal development Faern has been looking further and further into stress and how we are attempting to manipulate the area in order for her to see why things so easily go awry for the individual, besides the fact that on a societal level we are living in stress pretty commonly and think we can "regulate" this. Basically- we cannot and we are being told we can and this concept is being wrapped up into WELLNESS CULTURES- Yoga, Meditation etc.- right where it doesn't belong, keeping many people in an un-grounded state of being.
In this episode Faern goes over why cosmic living from a spiritual perspective will support your health while bypassing the need to "regulate" yourself like a police officer. It's counterintuitive to put anything in between you and your divinity or any spiritual practice.

This episode is related to our last one- you can listen before or after. This one explains the "microcosm" in relation to YOU as a human here and now.
Going forward it is becoming more and more important to be MORE than present- to return to yourself often. As things get a bit messier on the planet do your best to not get to caught up in the fear that will build or is already.

This is Episode 2 in a series. The previous episode in this series -> Early History of American Spiritualism
During the 1730's - 1840's in Colonial America and the then the newly formed United States had two Great Awakenings. This episode is a short overview of this fascinating time of spiritual change.
The currently popular term "Move from your head to your heart" actually comes from way back in the very first awakening period. Faern finds it amazing how this history lines up with our current wave of change across the U.S. and the world at large.

We are in a very large collective shift which is bringing a lot of people into the spiritual paradigm and there's also an influx of information which is not necessarily described in a very clear way.
Have you been curious about why people are saying 3D 4D 5D? Have you been recently confused by the New Age approach to explaining our earthly existence?
Faern simplifies one of the most mis presented popular concepts in the current spiritual context: DIMENSIONS
What is meant by dimensional reality?
How can we learn from it?
Is 5d a place you go?

This Spring Equinox in an 8 Year Prep episode is a little longer than the others because there are specific tips at the end which Faern thinks are the most important for this upcoming time period.
YES Spring Equinox is technically a day or even a moment HOWEVER the energy of this phase is exponential in value and extends much further than the exact scientific timing of the equinox. In this episode Faern shares her intuitive messaging around this 2024 Equinox. She includes information about the numerology for this year- the 8 year- as well as brings in the current energetics and how they will add to the experience.

In this episode Faern returns to defining DOGMA and how when philosophy becomes dogmatic it is inherently unhelpful. To her it is looking like a major source of confusion comes from the limitations often created in translation mixed with people needing to HAVE THE ANSWER so badly or something of the sort. (Our previous episode has more on this).
All in All it is important to develop discernment when adding anything into your spiritual practices on your path because there is always another layer of energy we may not have a direct view of but we are ALWAYS interacting within it. Some practices do expire as well- which on one hand could mean no one is paying attention to it, and on the other hand it ran its course and people will benefit from leaving it behind now.
It's much more important to take care of your "container" during these abrupt changes on the planet.

This week Faern is talking with us about ENERGY but specifically about the electromagnetic shifts we are receiving from pulses off the sun. Combine this with solar flares, Wars, societal movements and personal emotional states over an extended amount of time and what we get is another big shift.
EVERYONE is starting to FEEL and express the sensations in one way or another.
Faern is thinking this is going to push all of society into a VERY BIG shift into a much greater understanding beyond where anyone has been as of yet, that we know of or that is speaking of it. Consider it this way- just a few years ago we were talking about moving from head to heart and NOW we are talking about living from an energetic connection to the Divine.

You hung in there with us as we moved through pandemonium and then changed the name, this means the world to us and our little production.
In this episode Faern gives her interpretation of some pages in BE HERE NOW (starting on page 95) which directly apply to moving into a new zone of spiritual and emotional living. We understand how at this time there are terrible things happening on this planet- while at the exact same time the energetics of earth are practically being completely overhauled and are offering us a more sound and loving framework to exist from. Therein is the challenge of the spiritual being creating their lives in this present moment.
Near the end is a quick wrap up of the most popular episodes of the year and the most consistent cities of our wonderful listeners.

Grieving Is Good, but not if we get ahead of ourselves.
In this episode Faern goes over some of her personal experience in regards to moving through grief, grieving, mourning, sadness and anger. These things are very commonly smashed together and inevitably misunderstood due to lack of conversation ahead of time. In our society it's set up like some secret until it happens and this is what causes a lot of arrested development especially if you are under a certain age.
While it is happening- you might be looking out at the world from a very difficult place and it most likely does not feel good at all- remember injuries cause pain and in healing that broken bone it hurts too. It is the same for emotional aspects of living.
It might not feel this way right now, but, grief is good as long as you don't leave yourself hanging.

This week Faern takes us through her personal approach on
How To RE-INTERPRET Thinking A LotLet's get real here- some people actually think just anyone can at any given point in time stop thinking about a thing. I mean, SURE everyone has the capacity to do so but do they have the tools AND the knowledge on how their brain works? Because this goes beyond thinking differently- we are literally wired in different ways.
It's one thing to understand emotions and how we have interpreted them and built upon this understanding within our own experiences and expression thereof and a whole other thing if we have a different way of naturally approaching our lives.
With this Faern gives us "Thought Galaxies" as a method of sorting out what is and is not helpful as according to whatever it is you are trying to do- whether it be daily life or a dream project, if you like to think this episode will give you a way to cross this thinking with how you feel and whether the thought series is actually helping you in the moment.
Listen in and let us know what is most interesting about it.

One of the most common on-going topics of this podcast is how to be you- but we haven't so much so often spoken about HOW to be TRUE to that YOU with a long term course in mind.
Today Faern is walking us through some of her thoughts around how important this is- the tip top of the peak of spiritual work- the VERY thing that keeps us going and often overlooked.
One thing to keep in mind- not one path is similar to the next. Not student to teacher especially, and we think this attempt at the replication of a teacher's experience actually blocks us from our own- IF we never take the time to broaden our perspective to allow in a greater awareness.
Have a listen, let us know what you think- and don't miss the special announcement within the episode.
Have a great week!

If you are human you have likely had this "stuck" feeling and if you happened to spend a lot of time there- let's say DWELL on it- you may want to hear what Faern is saying about it today.
She is sharing with us her thoughts on how this feels and how it is mostly how we see it...
Also- something she left out of the episode- if you are not sure where to turn - let's say on your spiritual path- this can be a challenge but is actually a really good place to be as long as it isn't chaotic for you. If you want to see about talking to another spiritual mind look at THIS on her personal website.

They say "life is what you make of it" and more times than not the person saying it doesn't know what they mean either...
What they MEAN to say is "life is going to change you" and then follow up with "all the choices you make have impact"...
In this episode Faern draws our attention to some possibly overlooked transformative moments which inevitably are not ACTUALLY "missed" but are more-so components (energetic) we don't quite yet understand.
Take a moment and look back- in a positive light- at what has changed for you in the last three or four years- what impact has this had? how did something assist you which was unexpected...? maybe you studied something, or moved abruptly- or some other such thing, what hidden benefits can you find here? (These are the "energetics" Faern refers too a lot.)

We can ignore what is going on around us, but this will not help anyone involved- most assuredly it will not help you.
In our last episode Faern took us through the energetics of one way we individually interact with our lives- and this week she is illustrating how we can make active choices that do not include increased ignorance about what is going on ( as in a separation from events- eyes shut to changes) by providing new avenues for how we experience the sensations created by what we are consuming.
I know, that's a lot of words... here is an example...
On social media we very easily look at much more than we realize- and these pieces of content do shift how we are looking at what is going on around us at that very same time, in this confused space many people find stress, discomfort and so on. This might look like you unexpectedly becoming annoyed at someone that hasn't even said anything to you yet- but you have just looked up from some stressful chaotic global political information and your mind hasn't yet been able to create a disconnect from that and you react in kind. This has nothing to do with the person infront of you nor the information blasting at you from your phone.
What can YOU do in order to take control of that?
What would actually work for you?
That is what Faern had on her mind with this episode...
Have you felt drawn to reconnect with the earth but feel as though the way you're going about it isn't really hitting the spot?
This week Faern shares with us about how we can gain insight about ourselves and our lives by understanding emotional energy and how it works.
In this very supportive episode she is describing a bit of a collective energetic update while giving us tips on how to work with it while life spirals open in so many different directions at this time or seemingly at ONE time. Diving into the energetic nature of how we live our lives in order to circumnavigate old emotional recourse assists us to move through the chaos and into a heartfelt perspective of reality.

Are Joy and Bliss Equal?
A few weeks ago Faern brought up the question 'are you avoiding joy?' which seems to be a hot topic, again, with all that is going on in the world.
THIS week we ponder together while looking at the question 'Are Joy and Bliss Equal? and how they can be confused. Faern also discusses what our true nature is by way of SatChitAnanda from the Advaita Vedanta perspective which turns out to be much more direct than you'd initially expect.
Let us know what you think about that by emailing us, you'll hear it in the episode.
Have a great week

Thank you for being here
Thank you for tuning in to episode 5 of our ongoing series called
The Yogic ApproachThis week we are looking at the Niyamas 'observances'.
If you have not heard the previous episodes in this series-
START HERE:
The Yogic Approach (Part 1): Ways we can approach Yoga
The Yogic Approach (Part 2): The 8 Limbed Practice
The Yogic Approach (Part 3): The Kleshas
The Yogic Approach (Part 4): The Yamas
The Niyamas continue the "backbone" of Yoga as written by Patanjali in The Yoga Sutras. Faern walks us through the basics of what they are and how we can apply them to our lives.
If you have an interest of creating your life around Yoga- Faern highly recommends taking the time to not only explore postures and breathing but to investigate and study Yoga Philosophy and the associated scripture. For example the Bhagavad Gita.
Hungry for Apples Podcast is on the look out for people to have conversations with.
Here is a loose list of whom we are searching for-
people working with very current spiritual concepts, Travel to share Kirtan, study intently Sanskrit & scripture related to Yoga & Tantra, shifting addictions with international plant medicines, living life in a unique way- Artist, musician, travel, expat, cultural anthropologist, Yoga Guide.... if you feel your life exemplifies one of these categories AND you want to speak about it publicly email us via the email Faern mentions in every single episode.
& THANK YOU for your time and interest!
You don't need to be into spirituality to have heard someone at some time to say something along the lines of "they have a weird vibe", am I wrong?
"high vibes"
"low vibes"
"hold a vibration"
"high vibe live"
"low vibrational activity"
What does it all mean?This week Faern takes us through what a vibration is- by definition- and discusses her thoughts around what this all means, in a basic way.
Let us know what questions you have around these kinds of topics so that we can add on. The crossover between science and spirituality is becoming more and more mainstream which on one hand is a good thing but at the same time is creating a whole new kind of messy spiritual playground when it comes to explanations that are merely good imaginative ideas which are lacking the link to knowledge and source.
*This week she also reads a Pablo Neruda poem
This is part 4 of our ongoing series called
The Yogic ApproachToday we are focused on The Yamas as described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. The "backbone" of Yoga Philosophy- restraints.
Faern walks us through the basics of what these are, how we can look at their knowledge and apply it to our lives. She also looks into the word Yama and shares with us some simple insights from connecting the two.
The next Yogic Approach episode will focus on the Niyamas.
Have you ever actually considered something like that?
"Things that can bring you the fullest joy are possibly being actively avoided"
- FaernIt's one thing to be generally happy and go through the day to day but it's a whole other thing to realize you have been simply overlooking what may bring you the fulfillment you ponder as being missing.
That is what this episode is about-
Our host Faern takes us through a personal experience revolving around re-learning how to find joyful things in her life.
The Yogic Approach returns next week with the Yammas
This episode begins with Faern giving us a basic explanation on how we can use the idea of 'entrainment' and how we already do naturally in our daily lives and practices.
We then move into a Guided HamSa Meditation and Breathing Practice.
We already learned SoHum last year- which is very similar and to some might even seem the same but given some time and attention one will call you deeper within yourself. Neither is more valid than the other- in fact the difference in the spelling is Sanskrit grammar- not any hierarchy, but honestly they FEEL different from each other.
Test them out and get back to us.
The intention of the meditation is taking part with 'entrainment', testing the waters, so to speak. This simple meditation is very profound- Faern suggests trying it on your own at different times of day and lengths of time
This type of Meditation is focus building as well as calming.
This is a very good place to begin with meditation practices but it is also a quintessential experience many people return to over years and years if not their whole lifetime. {Same with SoHum}
Have you ever wondered how to rid yourself of all the ways you unconsciously react to life experiences?
Before you do that you have to know what they are and how they came to be such a large part of how you perceive the world around you. One way to do that is to get an idea of how ignorance or obstacles appear from within.
Today we are looking at The Kleshas in part 3 of our Yogic Approach series. The Kleshas, when put simply, are precisely this breakdown.
Give a listen and see for yourself if they come through in your daily life.
Just a quick one for you, where I go over my most popular episodes in the year 2022. Including a quick peek of upcoming topics and a quote from the Bhagavad Gita.

Today I answer the question sent to me...Where do I begin, Yoga or Meditation? Some people are more ready for some paths than others. In any journey, self healing and spiritual, it's important not to get ahead of yourself. You can set yourself up for failure as well as open yourself up to energetic influences you're not ready to interpret. Listen along and set yourself up for success in you're journey.
Today we dive into a couple different interpretations to approach yoga. This is just scratching the surface so stay tuned because this will be a multi part series.

Listening to someone is caring for someone. Sometimes all you need to do is listen. Grounding yourself by holding space for others.

5 simple way to chill out and help you feel better in times of stress. These are all methods I use regularly with success.
I talk to you about how appreciating the "little things" can help you feel better overall, especially now. Count your blessings and be aware of your gifts because it's the little things that count.
Just thinking out loud this week. Things have been so weird lately, routines are off, how are you holding up?? I'm staying in place, I hope you are to.
We're all a little scared and confused right now and some of us show it in different ways. Remember to take care of yourself but also show compassion for others. Yes, that also includes the toilet paper hoarders.
In the light of current news (COVID-19) people are doing a lot of extra hand washing, but are they taking care of themselves? Self-care is both a physical and mental act that can be practiced under many conditions. Even under quarantine.
Get grounded. Sometime you just have to let it go, take off your shoes and run through the grass. Just watch out where you step. Having a way to ground yourself back to the earth helps you release some of that frantic energy. So get grounded and have a listen. Thanks
I'm starting a recurring topic on colors. All the different colors have meaning and purpose. Our perception of them has significance in the development of the human brain. I want to look at how "we" see color, and in the future I will talk about specific colors individually.
Having a hobby is not only rewarding it can reduce blood pressure, release serotonin, and lead to a better quality of life. It also can calm the mind, which opens the doors to some of your best ideas. Do you have a hobby? Let me know over on Instagram @Faern
When we compare ourselves to others, we impede our own progress. I'm not talking about competition, that has it's own ups and downs. I'm talking about how we compare our selves to others based on the stuff they have or the body they've achieved. Does it come from fear? Maybe.
I sat down to have a chat with my friend Francesca about well-being and life in San Francisco. I met her through yoga but have also been interviewed by her on her show, where she is a DJ for Kpoo here in S.F.
Self discipline is hard, but we all have things we're trying to improve upon. Maybe we need to change the way we view discipline, through the process of mindset shifting.
I talk about a recent incident I witnessed in a restaurant. Holding space for yourself and being mindful of others holding space for themselves.
Create a practice of short unedited videos that allow you to increase your personal confidence because you have to post them on social media. They don't wont if you don't post them.
