In this new podcast, we're going to explore the concept of the "bio-individual". What this means in terms of how our brains are wired and the psycho-physiological effects that hard work can have on our bodies and experience.
We're going to explore the basics of the bio-individual, as well as some of the ways that this information can be used in practice. We'll also discuss how to recognise when a bio-individual work may be needed, what techniques can be looked at and how to work with them effectively. If you're interested in learning more about the bio-individual, then this is the video for you.
We all have different strengths and weaknesses, which is why it's so important to find a practitioner that is tailored to your individual needs. In this video, I'll discuss the Bio-Individual: The Badly Wired Human Brain & Psycho-Physiological Practice, and how it can help you Better Understand Yourself & Improve Your Practice.
#53 – Nietzsche: Revival of Ascetic Practices in the Service of Life
Episode Notes
Do we really understand Nietzsche's view on the ascetic ideal? Should practices associated with religions and philosophies be totally discarded? We talk a different vision for an important element in Nietzsche's vision for the future that is often misunderstood or forgotten.

#52 – Issues with an Emotions & Sensations Focus in Practice-work
Episode Notes
We discuss the significant shortcomings of orienting oneself towards emotional expression and indulging in sensations in yogic, meditation, and conscious control modalities.
The failure of emotional repression assumptions forming the basis of effective work-practice, we preferring conscious control modalities.
Many people can spend years spinning their wheels in this pleasant muck, but to what avail?

#51 – A Bioindividual Conversation on Bioenergetic Work
Episode Notes
An informal chat with the boys on some recent experiences during our re-engagement with bio-energetic work.
An informal episode, where we talk on our own challenges, and changes in view.
I think with some useful information in there for people who are also going through these processes. I give a channel update and an update on an original falcon project I've been involved in, as well as my thoughts on seeing an expert use these techniques and what I believe the implications are.
Always remember however - "it's just words...it's just sounds".
