- Jeffrey and Odette discuss a listener’s question about “emotional blockages”. Jeffrey explains how emotional blockages are conceptual and one’s perception of having them becomes reflected in their experience. He also stresses the importance of putting spiritual and mindfulness teachings into practice, as intellectual understanding is not sufficient to create internal shifts within the self. Odette adds the recommendation to “turn towards” one’s feelings and allow them to process, noting how cultural norms seem to discourage expressions of emotional vulnerability.
- Odette notes that guided meditation practices may be a great way to start meditating for those unaccustomed to solitary practices.
- Jeffrey asks Odette about a recent lucid dream she had, which is a dream wherein someone becomes consciously aware that they are dreaming. They share some of their dream experiences and discuss the meaning they attribute to dreams. Jeffrey shares that he rarely dreams, and that his occasional dreams reflect what has been active in his energy field. He uses his dreams as an energetic indicator and adjusts his focus as necessary. Odette shares that she considers dreams to be a source of communication with her deeper self.
- Odette asks Jeffrey about “premonitions”, and how those differ from dreams. Jeffrey shares his childhood premonitions and his similar experiences during meditation.
- Jeffrey loves mangoes!
- They both discuss how fun it is to share and teach others while being in an open and steady energetic state. They remark on the observational impact each person has from their state of being. Odette mentions the possibility of “spontaneous enlightenment” as described in yogic texts.
- Odette shares her recent discovery of Florence Scovel Shinn, a spiritual teacher from the 1920s. Jeffrey and Odette discuss the power of words in reference to Shinn’s emphasis on the power of inner and outer speech. Jeffrey shares that words are placeholders for energy, and Odette shares how she felt like she was uplifted by the energy of Shinn’s words.
