BONUS MONDAYS: How to ELIMINATE Stress, Anxiety & Depression in Just Minutes A Day! with Dean Sluyter

BONUS MONDAYS: How to ELIMINATE Stress, Anxiety & Depression in Just Minutes A Day! with Dean Sluyter

In the serene landscape of today's episode, we welcome the profoundly insightful Dean Sluyter, a seasoned meditation teacher and author whose journey through spirituality and popular culture provides a unique perspective on awakening and mindfulness. Dean's approach to meditation and his exploration of spiritual themes within cinema and literature offer a refreshing and accessible path to deeper understanding and enlightenment.Dean Sluyter began his spiritual journey early, experiencing spontaneous moments of awakening as a child. He recounts a pivotal moment at the age of 11 when he discovered a copy of Mad Magazine, whose motto, “What, me worry?” sparked a profound realization about the nature of his own anxious mind. This early insight set the stage for his lifelong exploration of spirituality and the mind's potential to achieve peace and clarity through meditation.

SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
  1. The Power of Effortless Meditation: Dean emphasizes that meditation is not about forcing the mind to be silent but rather allowing it to settle naturally. This approach aligns with his philosophy that true peace comes from embracing our thoughts and emotions without resistance.
  2. Understanding the Monkey Mind: Dean debunks the myth of the monkey mind, illustrating that our thoughts are not the problem; rather, it's our relationship with them. By recognizing that the mind's chatter is a natural part of our being, we can learn to coexist with it peacefully.
  3. Cinema as a Spiritual Tool: Through his work, Dean demonstrates how films can offer profound spiritual lessons. By analyzing movies like "The Truman Show" and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," he reveals deeper truths about the human experience and our quest for awakening.
Dean's analysis of popular movies provides a fascinating lens through which to view spiritual teachings. He describes how "The Truman Show" illustrates the awakening process, with Truman's realization that his world is a constructed reality serving as a metaphor for our own journey towards enlightenment. Similarly, he interprets "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" as a story about the different aspects of our psyche, with each dwarf representing a different facet of our personality.In our conversation, Dean delves into the nuances of meditation, sharing his personal experiences and the insights he has gained from years of practice. "Meditation is the one thing where working doesn't work," he explains. "Not working works." This paradoxical approach to meditation underscores the importance of allowing ourselves to be, rather than striving to achieve a specific state of mind.Dean’s wisdom extends beyond traditional spiritual practices, as he incorporates lessons from various aspects of life and culture. His holistic approach encourages us to find spirituality in everyday experiences, whether through meditation, watching a movie, or simply being present in the moment.Dean's contributions to spiritual literature include several acclaimed books such as "Natural Meditation: A Guide to Effortless Meditative Practice," where he offers practical guidance on finding peace and clarity through meditation. In "Cinema Nirvana: Enlightenment Lessons from the Movies," he explores the spiritual lessons embedded in classic films, providing a unique perspective on how popular culture can illuminate the path to enlightenment. His latest work, "The Dharma Bum’s Guide to Western Literature: Finding Nirvana in the Classics," delves into the spiritual insights found in great works of Western literature, demonstrating how timeless wisdom can be discovered in unexpected places. The conversation also touches on the importance of community in spiritual practice. Dean emphasizes that while personal meditation is crucial, the support and guidance of a community can enhance our journey. He offers free guided meditation sessions via Zoom, encouraging others to join and benefit from shared experiences and mutual support.In conclusion, Dean Sluyter's teachings remind us that spirituality is not about escaping the world but engaging with it more deeply and authentically. His insights into meditation, the nature of the mind, and the spiritual lessons found in popular culture offer a practical and profound path to greater awareness and peace.

NDE Stories: Atheist Doctor Died & Saw God! with Dr. Eben Alexander

NDE Stories: Atheist Doctor Died & Saw God! with Dr. Eben Alexander

Dr. Eben Alexander spent over 25 years as an academic neurosurgeon, including 15 years at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital, the Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston. Over those years he personally dealt with hundreds of patients suffering from severe alterations in their level of consciousness. Many of those patients were rendered comatose by trauma, brain tumors, ruptured aneurysms, infections, or stroke. He thought he had a very good idea of how the brain generates consciousness, mind and spirit.In the predawn hours of November 10, 2008, he was driven into coma by a rare and mysterious bacterial meningo-encephalitis of unknown cause. He spent a week in coma on a ventilator, his prospects for survival diminishing rapidly. On the seventh day, to the surprise of everyone, he started to awaken. Memories of his life had been completely deleted inside of the coma, yet he awoke with memories of a fantastic odyssey deep into another realm – more real than this earthly one! His older son advised him to write down everything he could remember about his journey, before he read anything about near-death experiences, physics or cosmology. Six weeks later, he completed his initial recording of his remarkable journey, totaling over 20,000 words in length. Then he started reading, and was astonished by the commonalities between his journey and so many others reported throughout all cultures, continents and millennia. His journey brought key insights to the mind-body discussion and to our human understanding of the fundamental nature of reality. His experience clearly revealed that we are conscious in spite of our brain – that, in fact, consciousness is at the root of all existence.He has been blessed with a complete recovery that is inexplicable from the viewpoint of modern Western medicine.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.

NLS 152: After You Watch This You Will Rethink Everything with Louise Kay

NLS 152: After You Watch This You Will Rethink Everything with Louise Kay

Louise Kay was born in Lancashire, in the northwest of The UK. After graduating from university, she worked as an English teacher for 15 years, and during this time, she began to question life's deeper meaning. This led her to the path of spirituality, where she found a strong resonance with the teachings of non-duality.In her early thirties, Louise felt a deep call in her heart to visit India, where she experienced a profound spiritual awakening. Shortly afterward, Louise began channeling and traveling around the world, sharing this gift for several years. During this time, she experienced a deepening and integration of her initial spiritual awakening, and as she opened more to this non-dual truth, the channeling faded away, and a new form of expression revealed itself from deep in her heart.Louise is passionate about supporting people to live a life of presence and unconditional love. Her greatest joy is to sit together in the presence and gently hold space for all emotions, all sensations, and all experiences which arise at the moment in order to support the integration of unresolved energies and allow the unfolding of the divine in all who feel the call.Explorations are usually focused on self-inquiry, releasing limiting beliefs, and integrating unprocessed emotions and energies.Louise holds group events online and around the world.Please enjoy my conversation with Louise Kay.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.

David Suich is a retired engineer who founded and operated Steps of Hope Outreach, a nonprofit organization that served orphanages in Nepal, Mexico, and Haiti from 2003 through 2018. During a painful and chronic physical condition that triggered severe depression, he clicked on a YouTube video about an atheist who died momentarily and saw Heaven. This led him on a 14-year journey of research into near-death experiences, including the testimonies of over 1000 people who have died, seen the afterlife, and returned.His book God Took My Clothes.What happens when we die? Is it the end of existence, or is there something more? Thanks to advances in modern medicine and some miraculous recoveries, thousands of people have died, seen the afterlife, and returned. God Took My Clothes summarizes the lessons learned from 12 years of near-death experience research as well as the testimonies of over 700 people who have died in various ways, returned, and talked about the afterlife. Their incredible testimonies reveal a non-judgmental creator of light and infinite love beyond what human language is capable of describing. God Took My Clothes discusses what it feels like to die, the life review, the environments of Heaven and Hell, God’s view of religion, the nature of our existence, humanity’s future, and the importance of living life with love and compassion. This book presents the hidden truth. Death is no different than waking up from a dream. You cannot die.Please enjoy my conversation with David Suich.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.
