Through engaging and relatable examples, the conversation reveals how our reactions to others can shine a light on deeper personal conditioning and programming.

Flow State - Where Are We Going Wrong?
This podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that operates ''Before Psychology''- the Secret Source that exponentially increases the peace, performance, and potential for any individual or organisation.
This episode dives deep into the concept of 'flow' with executive coach Tim Downes. Piers and Tim discuss the innate human potential to experience flow, often misunderstood as a state that requires specific activities or external validations. They examine how recognising and inquiring into the nature of our true awareness—not our conditioned, separate self—can lead to a more consistent, effortless state of ease and flow in daily life. Key concepts such as mindfulness, the illusion of self, and the universal accessibility of flow without external aids are explored. The conversation covers:
Understanding Flow
Barriers to Flow
The Role of Self in Flow
Are There Phases to Flow?
Practical Insights on Achieving Flow
Summary: The Myths About Flow

Many Journeys Pointing to One Realisation - Why Are There Are So Many Different Approaches to Transformation & Human Potential
This podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that operates ''before psychology'' - that exponentially increases the performance, resourcefulness and well-being for any individual or organisation.
Many Journeys Pointing to One Realisation - Why Are There Are So Many Different Approaches to Transformation & Human Potential?
This episode is a conversation with show regular Helen Amery, a fellow coach of the understanding behind Quality of Mind. We describe four doorways for transformation – psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual (direct and indirect) The discussion further explores the relationship between 'awakening' and 'enlightenment', viewing the former as grasping one's truest essence, and the latter denoting the continuous detangling of the human psychological condition after awakening. Whereas there are many approaches to transformation and human development there are also some we wouldn't recommend as much as others...
The discussion covers:
The Limitations of Traditional Psychology and the Search for Something More
The Awakening: Discovering the Non-Dual Landscape
Why Are There Such a Diverse Range of Approaches in Personal and Professional Development
The Common Goal of All Approaches: Uncovering the True Self
Disentangling the Human Experience
The Role of Awakening in the Enlightenment Process
Exploring Different Doorways to Enlightenment
The Intersection of Emotion and Physicality - The Body as a Signal for Attention
The Importance of Embracing the Full Gamut of Human Experience
The Cyclical Nature of the Journey of Awakening and Enlightenment
What We Wouldn't Recommend.....
