ROV PODCAST 70: A REVOLUTIONARY NEW VIEW OF YOUR BODY
We tend to live in a conceptual relationship with our bodies and our selves. We hold body and self images that we compare with culturally accepted images. For example, that women should be pretty and nice and men should be strong and successful. These conceptual objectifications lead us to objectify ourselves and tell us that we need to be different than we are and they are reinforced by a constant bombardment of advertising images that tell us what we need to do and have to be more beautiful and to avoid an alarming range of diseases. This leads to deep shame and fear. In reaction to this, we either tend to cling to the body and obsess about its look and health or be averse to the body and avoid relating to it.
In this podcast, we explore a new view and experience of the body: seeing the body as a vehicle for our life purposes and experiencing our inner body in terms of present, felt, sensory experience. Through this view and practice we come to live in a Precious Human Body.

ROV PODCAST 56: MANIFESTING - Misconceptions & How It Works
Kevin and Stephen discuss the power of manifesting and some of the misconceptions around manifesting abundance..
The key to abundance, manifesting, and even making good buying decisions is recognizing and taking action on opportunities that are aligned with the highest good for you and all concerned. To do this requires tuning into your inner felt sense, that deeper connection to all that is, and discerning the flow of Life. Interoception is your inner felt sense, your ability to tune into inner sensations, and mindfulness enables you to pay attention to possibilities and discern what is present, with curiosity, rather than grasping onto or pushing them away. Stephen and Kevin guide a four step practice to welcome new possibilities into your life.
Here are four simple steps to this process:
1. Using interoception and mindfulness, activate your inner felt sense and attend to the whole field with a sense of curiosity.
2. Call to mind an area of your Life where you have a want or desire. What would it look like to experience that? Form a sensory image of living in that experience and step into it as if you are living in it now.
3. Recognize any resistance, inner blocks, and limiting stories, and subconscious beliefs around receiving what you want. See how they are trying to protect you, but instead are hindering you from moving forward into new possibilities.
4. Let go and trust the flow. Trust that Life knows what it’s doing and what you need to move forward. Sense the flow of inspiration, discern your next step. Take any action, no matter how small to participate in the flow.

ROV PODCAST 49: TRANSFORMING PAIN INTO PURPOSE WITH STACEY BROWN
Faith is a “trust fall” performed again and again.
Raised as a “good little Mormon girl,” Stacey Brown’s world was one of rigid expectations and clear-cut rules. But, as a teen, questions of Am I enough? and Do I fit in? brought on crippling anxiety and severe depression. Desperate to define herself on her own terms, she embraced the “escape” of marriage, and then motherhood. And it was enough . . . until it began to feel like another restrictive box.
When a traumatic event impacts her family, a greater vision of the spiritual universe is revealed, leading her on a therapeutic and exhilarating path of self-discovery . . . even though not everyone dear to her can understand its vitalizing pull. The personal odyssey brings forth wondrous experiences, an inspiring mentor, a sense of community, and ripple effects that shake up the status quo.
With unflinching candor and fearlessness, Journey to Soul Center traces one woman’s imperfect yet determined path toward self-healing and purpose, while discovering her inner voice and using her empathic intuitive gifts to assist others on their own spiritual voyage along the way. With applicable life lessons and provocative questions posed, Brown’s tale of resilience offers hope and the life-changing permission to remake your programming, to face personal demons, and to find the bigger message in the inevitable struggles that life throws your way.
STACEY BROWN has had empathic intuitive abilities her entire life. After a family trauma, she left her successful career as a hairdresser to dedicate her life to helping people on their journey to healing. She does this through intuitive readings, spiritual mentorship and coaching, and her successful podcast Spiritual Journey: Path to Awakening with Nimesh Radia. Stacey is the founder of Soul Center, a global community inspiring individuals to awaken to their soul’s purpose. She lives in Maryland, with her youngest daughter.

ROV PODCAST 48: SIX LOVE CAPACITIES FOR ENLIGHTENED RELATIONSHIPS: Interview with Dr. Chelsea Wakefield
"When we align our lives with this inner guidance system, a stream of interesting coincidences (Jung called them synchronicities) begin to occur. Our culture values outer achievements, but what has kept my life luminous has been the connection with my feminine depths where I find a cornucopia of amazing resources, which take me out of stressing, struggling, and striving, and create a sense of trust in life’s unfolding. The deep Self – our true and soulful essence – shows us where we are out of balance, what we need to let go of, the qualities we need to integrate, the paths we are to take, and how to best give our gifts to the world."

ROV PODCAST 27: PRESENCE AS A POTENT PSYCHO SPIRITUAL HEALING MODALITY
This podcast brings 3 pillars of process into conversation: grounding attunement, and release. It discusses what those elements look like on their own in isolation and at a surface level, and then what a truly integrated approach looks like when we include all three at a fundamental level. For Dan it comes down to symptom relief versus deep transformation. It is a deeply insightful framing to highlight embodied, grounded presence as the key to meaningful transformation.

ROV PODCAST 26: WHY ENLIGHTENMENT CAN'T BE MEASURED: There’s a growing range of technologies that measure physiological correlates of meditative states. Brainwaves, heartrate, HRV, skin conductivity, and other physiological correlates can now be measured with personal devices. Through these measures we can get objective confirmation of stress versus relaxation and parasympathetic/sympathetic nervous system balance. We can measure physiological correlates of different inner states. But what about enlightenment? Can that be measured? What is enlightenment? If it is a recognition and realization of Awareness itself, as that within which all states arise, that which knows states and knows itself beyond any state, can that be measured? Stephen and Kevin point toward that which is beyond description and measurement, but which is available as a subtle, yet unmistakable, felt sense of openness of Awareness itself.

ROV PODCAST 25: BEING AWARE OF BEING AWARE: Awareness is so ubiquitous, so natural, effortless, continuous, and subtle that we miss it. Though Awareness is ever-present as who we are--and to realize this is liberation--we seem to be unaware of this. We are so accustomed to focusing on the contents of consciousness that we forget our natural primary felt sense of being aware. Since Awareness is that which enables objects and experiences to appear, Awareness itself tends to hide behind the appearances, the experiences and objects, that it shines upon and reveals. Because awareness is not an object with qualities and characteristics, we can only point to it or understand it in a preconceptual felt sense. Stephen and Kevin guide a simple practice to give you a direct felt sense of Awareness which transcends words and objectification.

Episode 19: ARE YOU FALLING PREY TO SPIRITUAL MATERIALISM? In our consumer culture, it's very tricky not to fall into this trap. Spiritual materialism is a form of attachment that reinforces and builds up our egoic consciousness in the guise of spirituality or spiritual practice. This can take the form of collecting spiritual possessions, books, courses, devices, attainments, initiations, group identification, or seeking to achieve and maintain a certain state. While it can feel like we are "being spiritual" (and any of these can be used as skillful means), spiritual materialism reinforces egoic consciousness and its grasping tendency. Stephen and Kevin talk about how to recognize "Spiritual Materialism" in ourselves in order to let go and rest as Awareness itself.

Episode 18: THE ULTIMATE STATE IN MEDITATION & BEYOND - Most of us think of meditation as related to some ideal state of consciousness, so we want to know how to get there and stay there. However, meditation is more than any state, it is recognition of Awareness itself, that within which and from which all states are generated. We usually don't recognize that we are generating every experience, every state that we have. So, a first step in meditation is to learn to consciously generate states using focused attention. Biofeedback, such as the Muse Brainwave Sensing Headband, can be a great tool to learn this process of state generation. Once we understand how to intentionally generate states, we have a feeling for how we do this or how this happens. With this experiential insight, we can then let go of generating states, so we rest as Awareness itself, beyond states and forms. Stephen and Kevin share examples of what this means in meditation practice.

ROV PODCAST 17: USING BIOFEEDBACK TO GROW CONFIDENCE IN YOUR MEDITATION PRACTICE -- Stephen and Kevin discuss using biofeedback to develop confidence in your meditation practice. Biofeedback can be internal, in terms of your inner felt sensations, or external, such as an EEG headset. Biofeedback can help you recognize meditative states and hone in on the inner cues you can use to realize these states. Kevin shares how he learned to “hear the birds” using the Muse Mind Meditation app by discovering that it wasn’t really about a “calm versus active” state as the app seems to guide you. This program is really about focused attention on felt sensations. If you’re practicing a more diffused state of open awareness, you need a different algorithm to monitor that. So, it’s important when using a biofeedback device to know what the algorithm of that program is calibrated to monitor. In this case, how is the desired state defined in terms of an EEG pattern? You will be successful using external biofeedback if your inner state matches the state the algorithm is calibrated for. Then it can be a useful tool to help you cultivate the felt sense of that state.

ROV PODCAST 15: UNRAVEL IPFs TO CONNECT WITH LOVE AND OPENNESS - Stephen and Kevin discuss the importance of unraveling IPFs, your "Implicit Perceptual Frameworks," the subconscious filters through which you experience life, as a means to transform your inner and outer world. These filters go unnoticed, yet they shape every experience you have. They give you a point of view, yet they simultaneously limit your perception. When these IPFs are related to past pain, they can really skew your perception and keep you locked in tension and fear. So, learning to access and unravel them is a powerful way to release conditioning and open to the flow of love, openness, and connection. Stephen guides a practice of using IPFs to connect with a unique moment of love and connection in your life.

ROV PODCAST 11: How Does Meditation Boost Cognitive Function? Kevin and Stephen talk about how the brain can get bogged down in stress and the countless tasks of life and lose touch with its ability to consciously focus attention, let go, and connect to expansive awareness. They share the findings of Muse co-founder Ariel Garten and neuroscientists Sara Lazar and Jill Bolte Taylor who describe the powerful effects of meditation practice on brain function. These include, increased PFC activation with sustained focus; the ability to notice and let go of thoughts; decreased amygdala activity related to noticing and letting go of fear reactions; increased insula activity related to interoception; increased grey matter associated with increased neural connectivity across the brain; increased temporal-parietal activity related to ability to take perspective and empathy; and decreased DMN activity related to lower self focus and rumination.

Raising Our Vibration PODCAST 10: RADICAL PEACE INTO COMPASSIONATE ACTION -
Conflict in our world comes from inner tensions. To resolve these tensions takes persistent compassionate action within ourselves and with others over an extended period of time. This practice of compassion for self and others requires an openness to recognize the subconscious tensions within us and hold them within a deeper wider space of peaceful awareness again and again. This ability to be compassionate is based on a deeper level of abiding peace. A peace that is available right here, right now. Kevin and Stephen talk about transforming radical peace into compassionate action:
1. Priming: taking time to pause and turn inwards
2. Recognition: having a clear, vivid, felt sense of the peace that is ever present underneath all experiences.
3. Integration of this abiding peace through compassion, by putting ourselves in other's shoes and holding them in a space of peace.
