A New Way of Being

A few years ago, I was introduced to Ayurveda by today’s guest – Kate Siraj – and it opened up a whole new way of understanding how my body and mind actually work. Kate’s a brilliant Ayurvedic practitioner, and in this conversation we get into the basics of this ancient yet surprisingly practical system.We talk about the three doshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha – which represent different mind-body types. For me, it helped explain a lot: my racing thoughts, bursts of creativity, and that slightly ungrounded feeling that can pop up on occasion.Kate shares how tuning into early signs of imbalance (like poor sleep, bloating or energy dips) is key – rather than waiting until things fall apart. We also explore seasonal practices, food, movement, and why trying to follow one-size-fits-all wellness advice can actually throw us off course.Whether you’re new to Ayurveda or curious to deepen your understanding, this one’s full of gentle insights that help you come back to your own inner compass.Show Notes:What Ayurveda is and how it differs from Western medicineUnderstanding the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, KaphaHow to spot early signs of imbalanceWhy tuning in to hunger and digestion mattersPractical tools for self-regulation and nervous system balanceTips for Vata types: grounding, routine, nourishmentWhy self-compassion is central to true wellbeingKate's Ayurveda quiz: https://ayurvedapractice.com/dosha-quiz/Website: https://ayurvedapractice.com/Book a free coaching consultation call with me: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chatMy other links:Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/bookYouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundieWebsite: simonmundie.comSubstack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Self-Inquiry, Meditation, and the End of Overthinking. I sit down with anesthesiologist and spiritual teacher Angelo shares how he moved through anxiety and began exploring the nature of consciousness. He talks about his early struggles with mental health, the big turning points that shifted his perspective, and the practical ways he learned to work with his own mind.We get into everything from Zen texts to self-inquiry, shadow work and meditation, as well as the moments in his life that forced him to question the nature of thought, suffering and awareness itself. It’s a grounded, practical conversation — touching on psychology, quantum physics, and spiritual practice — with plenty to take away whether you’re curious about meditation, personal growth, or simply making more peace with your own inner world.Watch the episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7N0NS_qWm4&t=5sAngelo's website: https://simplyalwaysawake.com/about/Book a free coaching consultation call with me: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chatMy other links:Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/bookYouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundieWebsite: simonmundie.comSubstack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.

David Berceli, an international expert in trauma intervention, introduces his innovative method, Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE), aimed at helping individuals reconnect with their natural healing mechanisms. He discusses the importance of embracing our body's instinctual tremors, often seen as weaknesses, as vital for stress release. Berceli shares insights from his experiences in war zones, critiques societal norms that suppress emotional expression, and emphasizes the transformative power of stillness for mental health. This enlightening conversation redefines our understanding of trauma and resilience.

A few nights ago, I had a moment of emotional turbulence.Instead of pushing it away, I followed it — and the next morning, I wrote this. Then I recorded it.This is about shame, overthinking, and what can happen when we stop avoiding what’s uncomfortable.It’s also about shadow work — the kind that doesn’t look neat.In spiritual circles, it’s easy to bypass this stuff with ideas or presence talk. But the deeper integration happens in the body.—I work 1:1 with people who want to stop living in their heads and start facing what’s really driving them — especially the parts they’ve learned to avoid.You can book a free intro session here: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chat Hosted on Acast.

Matt Tenney has clocked well over 10,000 hours of meditation. He’s also a leadership coach working with some of the biggest companies in the US. But his journey started in a very different place — as a military officer facing decades in prison.It was during that time, especially in solitary confinement, that Matt began to see clearly how suffering really works. He realised it’s not the outside world that causes it — it’s our identification with the voice in our heads. The thoughts that tell us who we are, what we should be doing, and how we compare to others.Matt shares how he came to recognise the awareness that sits behind all of that — and how tuning into that space is where real peace and freedom come from.We talk about: His personal story of transformation How desire fuels suffering What mindfulness really means — and how to apply it in daily life How to create space between what happens and how we respond And why happiness isn’t something to achieve — it’s what’s left when we stop believing the thoughts that obscure itThis conversation goes deep — but in a grounded and practical way. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head or caught in the trap of always needing to achieve more, this one’s for you.Here is the link to book a free 1:1 coaching consultation with me:https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chatMy other links:Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/bookYouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundieWebsite: simonmundie.comSubstack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.

What if happiness wasn’t something you had to chase — but something already available, no matter what’s going on around you?Emotional well-being doesn’t have to rise and fall with your circumstances. It’s about building a steady relationship with your inner world, so you’re not constantly thrown off course.This isn’t about pretending things are fine. It’s about seeing that peace doesn’t come from fixing the outside, but from changing how you relate to it. When you stop handing your happiness over to everything out there, you get to show up with more clarity, ease and presence.Real freedom isn’t about controlling life — it’s about meeting it as it is.If you want to explore this understanding more deeply, I offer 1:1 coaching - and you can book a free consultation here to find out more: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chatMy other links:Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/bookYouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundieWebsite: simonmundie.comSubstack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.
