The Way To Go
Welcome to The Way To Go. We’re hosting this podcast in the midst of the greatest collective crises the world has encountered in the last 75 years. Behind these extraordinary challenges there is a bigger story to be told. Steven Ross and Matthew Choate are two friends who have found ourselves in the unusual position of observing many stories from the life-journeys of others and we use the lens of these experiences to grapple with real world issues - exploring the spiritual perspectives around these topics and providing intuitive insight. We connect the dots between the chaos of the outer world and reveal the hidden natural laws which always point us towards evolution and healing. Life and the soul have a natural way to go and we aim to find it together. We hope you enjoy! Theme music: Something Elated by Broke For Free

When we hear the word "Yoga" - for most people who do not reside in certain parts of Asia - it conjures up a class, a teacher in a room of bodies, in workout gear, getting "fit" and/or "limber" using a series of poses, with a few foreign sounding words and some flirtation with the spiritual - usually at the end - before all present say "namaste" and go about their day. This understanding come...
Why do we suffer? Is one of the big questions we all end up asking ourselves at some stage in our lives. Often when the weight of what we, or a loved one, are bearing can feel all consuming and near impossible to carry any farther. How do we continue, and what, if anything, can we do to support ourselves and each other as we walk the more difficult paths on the journey of life?
In this episode of The Way To Go, we look at...

We're doing things a little differently this season. We began with some Yamas in fact, having addressed Ahimsa and Bramacharya in previous installments.

We explore the concept of restraint or abstinence as a means to preserve one's energy for deeper spiritual practice and the search for enlightenment and happiness.
The previous 2 episodes have focussed on Brahmacharya and Ahimsa, both part of the Yamas and, as such, the Eight Limbs of Yoga as laid out in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

In this episode, our hosts Steven Ross and Matthew Choate dive into the layered topic of karma! In the West we usually refer to karma as a punitive force, so if something goes wrong we might be inclined to blame it on "bad karma." Just like gravity, karma is an ineffable law of the universe, and just like we don't say we have bad gravity when we trip and fall, karma is neither good nor bad... it just is. Join us as w...
Join Steven Ross and Matthew Choate as they continue the discussion on consciousness surviving physical death by examining the Light. Every single major, and minor, faith has descriptions of the divine being associated with light. Although akin to the light of the stars, moon, and sun, there is something special about the light seen in near-death experiences, religious rapture, and visitations from other-worldly beings. This podcas...
Hosts Steven Ross and Matthew Choate get stuck into a topic both have researched for many years: the phenomena of near death experiences (or NDEs) and what this research tells us about the existence of our consciousness after our physical bodies fade.
