High Energy Health Podcast

Adriana Popescu, PhD, is Chief Clinical Officer at Avery Lane recovery center in Novato, California, and the author of EFT for Addiction. As well as working directly with clients, she provides coaching and mentorship for the Avery Lane clinicians and leadership team. In her practice as a psychologist, she has treated a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain and grief. Research into Avery Lane’s results has shown that Adriana’s energy psychology methods produce much larger reductions in symptoms and relapse than traditional treatment programs.

RamDev Dale Borglum is the author of How to Live So You Can Die Without Fear and the executive director of The Living/Dying Project. A pioneering figure in the conscious dying movement, he has spent decades helping individuals face death — and life — with greater awareness and has collaborated with leaders in the field including Ram Dass, Stephen Levine, and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Drawing on his background as a mathematician, meditation teacher, lover of God, and devoted practitioner of both Eastern and Western healing traditions, Borglum offers a uniquely practical and accessible map to the healing path.
 
Here he and Dawson discuss:

Why it’s hard to feel safe where the world isn’t supportive

When we focus on what we’re afraid of and not what fear feels like in the body

Exercise 1: What do I fear, and where to I feel it in my body

Meditation 

The Tantric Three-Step

Step 1: Can I feel it in my heart

Step 2: Is compassion keeping your heart open when there’s suffering

Step 3: It’s all part of life; pleasant and unpleasant

The fundamental spiritual practice: to identify with who and what we really are

Exercise: Feel warm, connected, compassionate, spacious heart?

Fact: Everyone is afraid

Why the world needs more people of compassion
