In this episode we go deep into the problem of creepy men. These are men who simply don't get it when it comes to talking to women. Often we approach such men with anger and disgust, and yet this seldom actually solves the problem. What are the consequences to not solving this problem? How can we approach it with compassion? Listen to find out. We hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we are joined by Ed Prideaux to talk about Hallucinogen Perception Persisting Disorder (HPPD). This is a very real and distressing effect that can occur from having an intense mind-altering experience and has been associated with the use of psychedelics. However, prohibition and stigma has stifled the knowledge around this issue, which has contributed to the distress experienced by people with these symptoms. In this episode, Ed provides a lot of valuable knowledge around the experience of HPPD, how distress can be avoided, and important distinctions when it comes to diagnoses and awareness.

In this episode, we go deep into how you can integrate Stage Orange of Spiral Dynamics. Spiral Dynamics is a model of societal and psychological development. Stage Orange is the stage where science, capitalism, and individuality emerge out of the collapsing theological order. This creates a psychology that strives for personal achievement and so we discuss several of the mindsets that you need to cultivate a passion for your own achievement. We hope you enjoy!

Exercise:
- Open yourself to your body, briefly scan it from head to toe.
- Identify a hot point in your body, it’s a point of tension or energy or heightened sensation of some kind. Maybe your gut, your chest, or your head. If you can’t find one that’s fine. Just pick some area and say that’s the point.
- Then begin using your breath to move this "energy" or "heat" around the body
- With the inhale, imagine that this energy is moving with the breath from that hot point down into one of your feet
- With the exhale, imagine that this energy and the muscular tension within the leg are moving up your leg and out your mouth
- Repeat this once with the same leg
- Repeat this 2x with the other leg, your stomach, each side of your chest, each arm, your neck, and your head
- Then, with each inhale imagine that the energy in the hot point is swelling, and with each exhale that energy exits your mouth
- Repeat step 8 until you feel fully relaxed or your timer has gone off
