FAR OUT #98 ~ Your Body is not the Obstacle, It’s the Way: Will Johnson on the Posture of Meditation (Copy)

Written By Julie-Roxane Krikorian

Episode Description

Fall is a season of letting go and in the spirit of that we explore purging.

As a culture we tend to see purging as something to avoid at all costs, a sign of illness and definitely not something to do voluntarily.

But what if that narrative gets it all wrong? What if our attitude toward purging is the problem —not purging itself? What if by avoiding purges—whether physical, emotional, energetical or spiritual—we're hampering the very process by which we might be healed and purified?

Listen and explore:

  • Why do we in the West have such a problem with purging?

  • Purging as getting ill vs. purging as getting well

  • Vulnerability as the door to transformation

  • Finding the jewel in the darkness

  • Let the purge purge you

  • The key ingredients to a good purge

  • The obstacles to letting go

  • How do we let ourselves die?
