How to Tap into Your Gut Intuition and Tune Out Society’s Noise and Expectations | This episode is brought to you by Thrive Market and BiOptimizers.We’re all on our own paths of learning which inner voice to follow. There’s usually the one urging us to take the easy option, but there’s also the (often quieter) inner voice nudging us to stretch ourselves and take on a challenge. Have you ever felt a little scared but also excited about a new endeavor? That inner guide is trying to help you grow. Like everything in life, it can take some time and practice to be in touch with our intuition and benefit from it. But just like with working out, we have to get a little uncomfortable and put in the energy if we want to get stronger—it’s true for both body and mind. This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru has a thoughtful conversation with our friend Light Watkins, all about finding that inner guide, sharing inspiration, reframing our perception of good and bad, and giving ourselves permission to let things go. Light has been operating in the meditation space since 1998, first as a practitioner, then as an apprentice to his Vedic Meditation teacher, and finally as a teacher himself. Prior to the pandemic, he was traveling the world from a single backpack giving talks on happiness, mindfulness, inspiration, and meditation, as well as leading popular meditation trainings and retreats. Light is the author of The Inner Gym: A 30-Day Workout for Strengthening Happiness, Bliss More: How to Succeed in Meditation Without Really Trying, and his most recent book, Knowing Where to Look: 108 Doses of Daily Inspiration.In this episode, we dive into: -Why money, relationships, and the pursuit of success can be three of the best spiritual teachers (12:50)-Perception and how we respond to situations (14:50)-How to tap into your inner guide (24:52)-What inspired Light to shed his life’s possessions and become a nomad (33:24)-The illusion of discipline (36:58)-Dhru’s gratitude exercise (49:40)-Why letting go of something is harder than holding on (1:23:05)-Why it’s so difficult to tap into our intuition (1:43:26)-Lights approach to meditation (1:50:47)-How to start taking action on your purpose (1:56:47)Also mentioned in this episode:-Bliss More: How to Succeed in Meditation Without Really Trying by Light Watkins - https://www.lightwatkins.com/challenge-Meditation Takes You Deeper Than Sleep with Light Watkins - https://drhyman.com/blog/2018/07/26/the-broken-brain-podcast-meditation-takes-you-deeper-than-sleep-with-light-watkins-13/For more on Light Watkins you can follow him on Instagram @LightWatkins, on Twitter @LightWatkins, and through his website https://www.lightwatkins.com/.

It’s also sure to raise lots of questions about how your interactions with your child are impacting their development and your relationships.What we see as commonplace parenting here in the US is quite different than other parts of the world.

If you’re looking for a way to explore the concept of meaning, how it relates to culture, religion, politics, history, sexuality, dissatisfaction, and so much more, this podcast is for you.  We’re currently experiencing a crisis of meaning. People and groups are divided, each convinced their way of thinking and their beliefs are the “right” ones. We have a hard time letting multiple things be true at the same time, when in reality they are but all of our realities are different. We get weighed down by the complexities of information overload and experience grief in the process. Since most of us run from bad feelings or simply don’t know how to address them, we go into denial and look for an escape. We end up with more anxiety, more depression, and poorer relationships.  But this isn’t an unstoppable progression. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Jamie Wheal about why it’s so hard to make sense of the world right now and what we can do to help ourselves expand our understanding. They discuss the five key drivers that give us the tools to wake up, grow up, and show up for ourselves. They also talk about how we move from broken to whole, and how we cure isolation with connection. Jamie is the author of the global bestseller and Pulitzer Prize-nominated Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, Navy SEALs and Maverick Scientists are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work. Jamie is an expert in peak performance and leadership, specializing in neuroanthropology––the intersection of culture, biology, and psychology—and the founder of the Flow Genome Project, an international organization dedicated to the research and training of ultimate human performance.  In this episode, we dive into: -Why we are in a crisis of meaning (3:12)-The current culture wars (34:35) -The apocalypse we find ourselves in (1:03:30) -The three things that help us deal with life better (1:06:20)-How to be inclusive (1:08:59)-Alchemy and personal transformation (1:36:44)-Why sexuality can be a powerful gateway into higher consciousness (1:37:43)-Orgasms as a treatment for depression (2:00:51) -How music connects us (2:19:52)-How to get out of our own way and create greater connection (2:54:30)Also mentioned in this episode:-The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk - https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748-Love Drugs: The Chemical Future of Relationships by Brian Earp and Julian Savulescu - https://www.amazon.com/Love-Drugs-Chemical-Future-Relationships/dp/0804798192-This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession by Daniel Levitin - https://www.amazon.com/This-Your-Brain-Music-Obsession/dp/0452288525For more on Jamie Wheal you can follow him on Instagram @flowgenome, on Facebook @jamiewhealpage, on Twitter @flowgenome, and through his website https://www.flowgenomeproject.com/.
