The Shispot

The Dark Side of Meditation

In this episode of the ShiSpot my friend and mentor Glen Callahan joins me to talk about meditation, transcendental meditation, why it doesn't work for many, what most people get wrong about it, and finally how we can incorporate it.  We also talk about using psychedelics to reach final liberation, and its role in reaching the ultimate state of consciousness...is it cheating?

Complicated Parent Relationships

During this past summer, my father was in the hospital and at this time I was trying to make peace with the fact that he may not survive and therefore started to look back on our complicated relationship.  My dad is a complicated guy, but he's also my dad.  I always hated the fact that I've struggled with conflicted feelings around him and how much that affects me, and probably has in so many aspects of my life. This episode is about complicated relationships with our parents.

My Biological Clock is Nearing Midnight

Welcome to episode 1of The Shispot!
I always wanted to be a mom, but it didn't happen. When I was younger, I just assumed it would, but as in most cases, life got in the way. I will admittedly look around sometimes and think, "wait, they have kids, and I don't?!"
Consider this my honest reaction to never having kids...no pun intended but, am I alone?
