Esoteric Wellness
At Esoteric Wellness we discuss health & wellness knowledge that isn't generally well known or well accepted. From new scientific research to alternative wellness methods to mind-body techniques to psychedelics to emerging theories. Our intent is to help to make sense of the information that is out there, identify the BS, and introduce new information. Health & wellness is a struggle, and our hope is to clear up some of the misunderstandings and misconceptions around it. Send us an email with all your questions, comments, topic requests, or just to say hi at esotericwellnesspodcast@gmail.com.

In this episode we wrap up our series on chronic pain. We've discussed the science and the process of recovery in previous episodes. Today we dive into what it's actually like to go through the process. Not an outlier success story that gives unrealistic expectations, but a real success story that took time and hard work. We welcome our amazing guest Emanuel who shares his experiences in regaining control of his life from...
In this episode, we dive into the essential distinction between perspective and truth. It's not the events themselves, but our perspective that shapes our experiences, whether positive, negative, or neutral. We often inherit or adopt perspectives, but they are not set in stone. By learning to let go of perspectives that no longer serve us, we gain the true freedom to craft and choose the experiences we desire. Join us as we ex...
This is a follow-up to episode 18 where I discussed how complaining increases our suffering. In this episode I describe some simple practical tools that one can use to replace a habit of complaining with more positive habits. This will ultimately lead to less suffering in life without even changing any circumstances. This is a small part of the overall learning that we are in control of how we feel and how to wield that power to cr...
Exploration of how complaining is a result of attachment to our own suffering. Complaining about our suffering only serves to prolong and increase our suffering. Why is it so easy to do? Perhaps because it is seemingly similar to practices that actually help ease our suffering. I identify and discuss the difference.
I share a recent client perspective on the chronic pain recovery process. Recovery requires learning to meet the pain with love and compassion. What does this mean and why does it hold true? Does this idea sound crazy or upset you in some way? You're not alone, nobody is saying it will be easy!
Why do most of us fail miserably to bring our New Year's resolutions to reality? Are we simply wasting our time? In this episode we take a look at how setting goals can be part of propelling ourselves into better versions of ourselves. However, just setting goals often isn't enough. Discover how a slightly different approach to New Year's resolutions can help to make your goals a reality rather than just another drea...
Today I discuss the experience of stillness. Often referred to as mindfulness or meditation but comes in many other forms. The power of stillness is something that humankind has revered with a level of sacredness throughout all of known human history. It can have significant positive effects on our physical, mental, and spiritual health as well as the course of our lives. I end this episode with a brief guided practice to demonstra...

A guided meditation to help locate and intensify our own internal power and strength.
