E155 - Dr. K: How Eastern Wisdom & Neuroscience Unite to Unlock Human Potential

E155 - Dr. K: How Eastern Wisdom & Neuroscience Unite to Unlock Human Potential

What if the key to healing, fulfillment, and inner peace isn’t found in choosing between science or spirituality, but in weaving the two together? In this conversation, Dr. K bridges the timeless wisdom of the East with the empirical insights of the West, exploring everything from attention and emotion to enlightenment, desire, and the true self. We dive into why so many feel lost in today’s world, how modern distractions suppress the soul, and what ancient traditions already knew about the mind and healing. From shadow work and mystical experiences to the deeper meaning of dharma and the illusion of the personality, this episode invites you to see yourself through a more integrated lens.Own Your Health with Function Health.

E154 - Sadhguru: Life, Death & Why We Miss What Matters Most

E154 - Sadhguru: Life, Death & Why We Miss What Matters Most

Sadhguru delves into the deepest questions of existence—death, the afterlife, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. The conversation begins by exploring how our fear of death often robs us of truly living, and how our identification with thoughts can lead to unnecessary suffering. Sadhguru guides listeners on the pathway to becoming more conscious, challenging us to consider whether we are truly the drivers of our own lives. He discusses the ways we accumulate energy that doesn’t serve us and addresses the problem of a cluttered mind. As the dialogue unfolds, Sadhguru encourages us to face the fragility of time, contemplate the mysteries of the afterlife, and find meaning in both living and dying. Andrés Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________0:00 Intro3:52 Our Fear of Death Robs us Of Life16:04 Identification with Thoughts Lead to Suffering27:30 The Pathway to Becoming Conscious36:46 Are You The Driver of Your Life?46:05 How We Accumulate Energy That’s Not Serving Us52:59 The Problem of the Cluttered Mind57:43 Facing the Fragility of Time1:09:35 The Afterlife & Finding Meaning1:17:55 Mahasamadhi: Living & Dying How You Choose1:24:29 Creating Impact While Preserving Inner Peace1:30:07 Importance of Humor1:36:13 Embracing Life’s Inherent Unknowns 1:47:00 The Death Process & Breaking Free from Ancestral Conditioning2:01:04 Mental Health & Miracle of Mind2:05:53 Conclusion___________Episode Resources: https://isha.sadhguru.org/us/enNew Book: https://a.co/d/421IJEUApp: https://Isha.us/miracleYThttps://www.instagram.com/sadhguru/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.comListen to the show:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4bZMq9lApple: https://apple.co/4iATICX
