Wu Wei Wisdom Podcast
The Wu Wei Wisdom Podcast is a weekly conversation about life challenges and life lessons, emotional and spiritual health issues, and tools to help you live in effortless flow - ‘wu wei’. The ancient Taoist principle of wu wei is little understood in the West, and we believe it’s the secret to health and happiness in modern life! Your hosts are David James Lees, an ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher and consultant, and Alexandra Lees, a mindset and business coach. If you are suffering from emotional pain, stress or depression; struggling with self-criticism or self-doubt; seeking a more satisfying life balance, relationships or career; or searching for a deeper sense of meaning and fulfilment in your life - you are not alone. We want to help you better understand yourself, regain control of your mind, body, and emotions, and inspire you to reconnect with your true self and purpose. Each episode blends spiritual and philosophical ideas and insight with our real-life professional experience supporting clients worldwide. New episodes every Saturday. ~ Learn more about us, our online consultations and events, and visit our shop here: www.wuweiwisdom.com ~ Subscribe to our show on YouTube ~ Join our Wu Wei Wisdom Community Facebook Group ~ Follow us on Instagram @wuweiwisdom
