Ep 258 Interview Sessions with Ann Swanson | Meditation for the Real World
On episode 258 I am joined by Ann Swanson.
Ann teaches meditation to busy people with busy minds.
She is the author of the bestselling book SCIENCE OF YOGA, which has been translated into over 15 languages.
Her new book, Meditation for the Real World, illuminates the fascinating science behind meditation with step-by-step practices to help you find peace in everyday life.
However, Ann wasn’t a naturally “chill person,” and meditation didn’t come easy to her. Overcoming chronic pain and anxiety led her to India to study yoga, to China to explore tai chi, into the cadaver lab to teach anatomy, to night school to become a licensed massage therapist, and, ultimately, to earn a Master of Science in Yoga Therapy.
Ann blends cutting-edge research with ancient wisdom, resulting in realistic techniques you won’t just learn – you’ll love to live by!
In this episode you will hear:
00:00:00 Intro
00:05:01 Ann’s journey into meditation
00:08:00 Meditation myth busting
00:09:30 Meditation for the Real World – finding peace in everyday life
00:13:17 the more I meditate the more time I have
00:32:01 Samadhi – being liberated from our suffering
00:37:19 Meditation for little ones
00:40:59 Meditation looks different for all of us

#1032 Confidence is a Result not a Requirement
#1031 Narcissistic culture war
Those people who truly accept themselves do not require the acceptance and affirmation of approval.
As heart-centred leaders we are called to love ourselves and our neighbour, building a greater capacity to accept others as we no longer reject ourselves.
Let this be our heartprint.
Ep 248 Interview Sessions with John Eldredge | Discover the Secrets of a Man's Soul
On episode 248 I am joined by John Eldredge. John is an author, a counsellor, and a teacher. He is also president of Wild at Heart, a ministry devoted to helping people discover the heart of God, recover their own hearts in God's love, and learn to live in God's Kingdom.
John grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles (which he hated), and spent his boyhood summers on his grandfather’s cattle ranch in eastern Oregon (which he loved).
John met his wife, Stasi, in high school (in drama class). But their romance did not begin until they each came to faith in Christ, after high school.
John earned his undergraduate degree in Theatre at Cal Poly, and directed a theatre company in Los Angeles for several years before moving to Colorado with Focus on the Family, where he taught at the Focus on the Family Institute.
John earned his master’s degree in Counselling from Colorado Christian University, under the direction of Larry Crabb and Dan Allender. He worked as a counsellor in private practice before launching Wild at Heart in 2000. John and Stasi live in Colorado Springs with their three sons (Samuel, Blaine, and Luke), their golden retriever (Oban), and two horses (Whistle and Kokolo).
While all of this is factually true, it somehow misses describing an actual person. He loves the outdoors passionately, and all beauty, Shakespeare, bow hunting, a good cigar, anything having to do with adventure, poetry, March Madness, working in the shop, fly fishing, classic rock, the Tetons, fish tacos, George MacDonald, green tea, buffalo steaks, dark chocolate, wild and open places, horses running, and too much more to name.
In this episode you will hear:
00:00 intro
02:58 why don’t need another men’s book
04:48 the stages of the masculine journey - the boy, cowboy, warrior, lover, king, and sage
08:08 the two fundamental needs of little boys
10:08 it is important to discover for yourself that you have got what it takes
14:08 a cry for a father's engagement
18:38 Ryan’s testimony
23:08 why can’t we trust men?
26:58 the cure for the narcissistic life
28:48 Christ the Warrior
32:38 the tools of the enemy
38:58 you need to tell each other your story
42:08 getting hooked up to the one who knows you best and loves you most
45:38 God heals trauma
50:18 John’s Heartprint

#JohnEldredge #WildatHeart #Masculinity #JesusChrist
#1029 the hierarchy is not the problem
Note to my younger self... the hierarchy isn't the problem. The spirit of the leader is the problem.
Let's be the types of leader who uses our power to protect people rather use our power over people.
#1028 The great danger for the warrior is not defeat, but success
As heart-centred leaders, it is not defeat that should concern us, but success.
Defeat is an inward opportunity to grow.
Success is an inward opportunity to ground.
#1027 Never give a sword to a man who can't dance - Confucius
Men need a balance between their heart and mind. A lover and a warrior. A warrior with grace, mercy and compassion.
For good things do not come from a man armed with a sword who can't dance.
#1026 Kahlil Gibran On Prayer
Kahlil Gibran -
Then the priestess said, Speak to us of Prayer.
And he answered, saying:
You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might pray also in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.
For what is prayer but the expansion of yourself into the living ether?
And if it is for your comfort to pour your darkness into space, it is also for your delight to pour forth the dawning of your heart.
And if you cannot but weep when your soul summons you to prayer, she should spur you again and yet again, though weeping, until you shall come laughing.
Can we grateful in the valleys? Grateful in the darkness? or as Brandon Lake says.. sing through the fire and worship from the lions den... even when it doesn’t make sense.
Pour your darkness into space and delight in pouring forth the dawning of your heart.
#1025 Shoulder to Shoulder
#1024 Heart-Centred Leaders need this protection
Heart-centred leaders who lead with love need to ensure they lead from love and no for love.
They need an awareness of the hidden power dynamics at play in their leadership.
They need to be aware of their needs and the needs of those they lead.
The leader needs to make sure their followers do not look to them as the source of love but are instead directed inward to themselves as the source of that with which they seek.
#1023 Don't be surprised if success no longer motivates you
At our stage of heart-centred development do not be surprised if worldly success doesn’t concern you.
There comes a point in the evolution of every soul where the main concern of the soul no longer becomes the survival of the body but growth of the spirit.
No long are we driven by worldly attainment of success but by the realisation of self.
Life isn’t about what we do with our body. It’s about who we being.
We’re not here to say do things in order to be happy but to be happy while we are doing things.
#1022 Being and Becoming
We are here to do two things... BE who we are and to CREATE who we are.

#1013 it's not love
If our love for others and the world is dependent on the feelings and attitudes towards us, it isn’t love.
#1012 Is it peace?
If our peace is dependent on external reality, it’s not peace.

Rob has 25 years of experience in the world of motorsport, having spent time at multiple F1 teams including Jordan, as a Race Engineer at Ferrari and as Head of Vehicle Performance at Williams before taking on the Director of Data systems at Formula 1 from 2019 to 2021.

#1011 Becoming - an underrated reward
#1010 Competing Values
In simple terms, the Cameron and Quinn's Competing Values Framework identifies four main types of values that compete within organisations:
Collaboration (Clan Culture): This value emphasises teamwork, cooperation, and a friendly work environment, similar to a family.
Innovation (Adhocracy Culture): This value emphasises creativity, adaptability, and a willingness to take risks. Organisations with this value prioritise innovation and experimentation.
Results (Market Culture): This value emphasises competitiveness, achievement, and a focus on external factors such as customers and market demands. Organisations with this value prioritise getting the job done and achieving results.
Control (Hierarchy Culture): This value emphasises stability, rules, and a structured environment. Organisations with this value prioritize efficiency, consistency, and a well-controlled work environment.
These values can often conflict within an organisation as different departments or individuals may prioritise one set of values over another. The Competing Values Framework helps organisations understand these competing priorities and work towards a balanced approach to achieve their goals.
In the Competing Values Framework, the values directly compete with each other when they are positioned opposite to one another on the model. Specifically:
Collaboration (Clan Culture) vs. Control (Hierarchy Culture): Clan culture emphasises a friendly and collaborative work environment where teamwork is highly valued. In contrast, Hierarchy culture emphasises a structured and controlled environment with a focus on rules and stability. These two values often compete because a highly collaborative environment might conflict with the need for strict control and adherence to established procedures.
Innovation (Adhocracy Culture) vs. Results (Market Culture): Adhocracy culture values creativity, adaptability, and risk-taking, encouraging innovation and experimentation. On the other hand, Market culture emphasises competitiveness, achievement, and a results-oriented approach. These values can be in direct competition because a strong focus on innovation might sometimes conflict with the immediate need for delivering measurable results and meeting market demands.
In real-world organisational situations, these competing values can create tensions and challenges as different departments or teams may prioritise one set of values over the other, leading to conflicts in decision-making and resource allocation. Balancing these competing values is essential for effective organisational management.

Ep 239 Interview Sessions with Richard Rudd | Gene Keys
On episode 239 I welcome Richard Rudd, founder of Gene Keys to the show.
A teacher, mystic and award-winning poet, Richard’s inner journey began early in life as he experienced strange energies rushing throughout his body, culminating in a major spiritual experience at the age of 29. Emerging from what he calls ‘a field of limitless light’ that lasted 3 days and 3 nights, Richard was entrusted with a sacred teaching – the wisdom of the Gene Keys.
A born explorer, Richard has studied with great teachers in the East, travelled through the Himalayas, the Pacific, the Americas, and the Arctic. Earning a master’s degree in metaphysics and literature from Edinburgh University, he went on to work in the film industry in Australia, trained as a teacher of Chi Kung in Thailand and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on a small yacht. During this time, he lived in Manhattan, Oregon and Hawaii before finally returning to the UK in 1998, where he met Marian his wife.
Over the following years they had three children and moved to Devon in southern England. Throughout his adventures Richard has explored his love of writing and in 2006 he won the FISH international poetry award in Ireland.
All Richard’s travels and studies coalesced into a synthesis in 2002 when he began to write and conceive the Gene Keys. It took seven years to write the book and understand its teachings and applications.
Today Richard continues to expand the wisdom that he was gifted, remaining always a student of the Gene Keys while teaching all around the world.
In 2019, Richard was named on the Watkins list of The 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People.
