Yoga and ballet are so far apart on the movement spectrum that they curve around and settle next to each other in our minds. Kind of like how the political far left and far right can act in surprisingly similar ways even as they hold diametrically opposing values. The spectrum is U shaped, but you can’t simply hop over the gap. This is a story about going the long way around. Commusings is our Sunday morning newsletter where we take a moment to think deeply on the topics of spirituality, philosophy, and culture. To sign up, visit onecommune.com.

They’re Trying To Kill Us is a new documentary on food (in)justice told through the lens of Hip Hop and urban culture. In this podcast the documentary's producers – Keegan Kuhn (Cowspiracy, What The Health) and John Lewis (Badass Vegan, Vegan Smart) – talk with Jeff about food deserts, nutritional and environmental racism, government subsidization of disease, and the powerful influence of Hip Hop artists.

Just as exposure to the natural environment builds a strong immune system, exposure to insult and ridicule can help you build mental resilience. The ancient Greeks dubbed this quality of character “euthymia,” a state of unflappable positivity that emerges from living calmly and steadily and being undisturbed by fear or offense.

Why are we so confused about what to eat? If I eat a plant-based diet will I miss out on any vital nutrients? Should I prioritize protein or carbs? How do I optimize my microbiome? In this episode, nutritionist Simon Hill shares what the scientific research is telling us about eating more plants — and how you can use this information to improve your energy levels, digestion, mental clarity, and post-workout recovery.

If you think of grief as a river, you can better understand your experience with it. Maybe you tiptoe slowly into the river, or wade in it for a long time as a loved one is dying or your marriage is ending. Others are thrown into the river of grief with just one phone call, with the news that someone has died suddenly. No matter how you go about getting into the river, this hour-long excerpt from David's Commune course will help you understand: The river of grief will take you to your healing. It will take you where you need to go. Join David Kessler's Commune course, Help for the Hurting Heart, free for 5 days at https://www.onecommune.com/grief Learn more about Commune at onecommune.com.

Today's episode is an excerpt from the Commune course, The Work of Byron Katie. In this session, Laurie is recalling a situation in which she felt her partner was trying to control her. Katie then walks Laurie through the essential process of The Work: Is it true? Can you absolutely know that it's true? How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought? And, who would you be without the thought? These four questions are followed by turning around the thought to experience the opposites of the thought. You watch this full course for free – including access to the worksheets – with a 14-day free trial of Commune Membership. Just go to onecommune.com/trial.

The tables have turned as Commune Podcast host Jeff Krasno responds to questions from his wife Schuyler. The scope of guests here on the Commune Podcast is quite broad, and in the process of researching and hosting this podcast Jeff has gradually woven many of those threads into a unique philosophical worldview. This informal interview goes on a rambling journey through disparate domains — from neuroscience and the carbon cycle to Stoicism and Taoism. You can learn more about Commune at onecommune.com. And follow Jeff's ramblings on Instagram at @jeffkrasno and @onecommune.
