A New Way of Being

A New Way of Being is about the art of inner alignment and finding flow.It starts with developing a different relationship with your thinking mind. You are not your thoughts, you are aware of your thoughts. This is a crucial distinction that can have a profound effect.Life isn't something to be 'won', but is rather a continuous miracle to be experienced, and Simon Mundie and guests discuss ways to understand and embody this new way of being.Guests range from world renowned thinkers, philosophers, scientists and healers - to many of the most successful athletes of all time.<hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.

Ayurveda, Vata & Learning to Listen to Your Body – with Kate Siraj

A few years ago, I was introduced to Ayurveda by today’s guest – Kate Siraj – and it opened up a whole new way of understanding how my body and mind actually work. Kate’s a brilliant Ayurvedic practitioner, and in this conversation we get into the basics of this ancient yet surprisingly practical system.We talk about the three doshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha – which represent different mind-body types. For me, it helped explain a lot: my racing thoughts, bursts of creativity, and that slightly ungrounded feeling that can pop up on occasion.Kate shares how tuning into early signs of imbalance (like poor sleep, bloating or energy dips) is key – rather than waiting until things fall apart. We also explore seasonal practices, food, movement, and why trying to follow one-size-fits-all wellness advice can actually throw us off course.Whether you’re new to Ayurveda or curious to deepen your understanding, this one’s full of gentle insights that help you come back to your own inner compass.Show Notes:What Ayurveda is and how it differs from Western medicineUnderstanding the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, KaphaHow to spot early signs of imbalanceWhy tuning in to hunger and digestion mattersPractical tools for self-regulation and nervous system balanceTips for Vata types: grounding, routine, nourishmentWhy self-compassion is central to true wellbeingKate's Ayurveda quiz: https://ayurvedapractice.com/dosha-quiz/Website: https://ayurvedapractice.com/Book a free coaching consultation call with me: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chatMy other links:Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/bookYouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundieWebsite: simonmundie.comSubstack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Beyond Thought: A Journey into Consciousness

Self-Inquiry, Meditation, and the End of Overthinking. I sit down with anesthesiologist and spiritual teacher Angelo shares how he moved through anxiety and began exploring the nature of consciousness. He talks about his early struggles with mental health, the big turning points that shifted his perspective, and the practical ways he learned to work with his own mind.We get into everything from Zen texts to self-inquiry, shadow work and meditation, as well as the moments in his life that forced him to question the nature of thought, suffering and awareness itself. It’s a grounded, practical conversation — touching on psychology, quantum physics, and spiritual practice — with plenty to take away whether you’re curious about meditation, personal growth, or simply making more peace with your own inner world.Watch the episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7N0NS_qWm4&t=5sAngelo's website: https://simplyalwaysawake.com/about/Book a free coaching consultation call with me: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chatMy other links:Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/bookYouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundieWebsite: simonmundie.comSubstack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.

I Faced My Shame — This Is Shadow Work

A few nights ago, I had a moment of emotional turbulence.Instead of pushing it away, I followed it — and the next morning, I wrote this. Then I recorded it.This is about shame, overthinking, and what can happen when we stop avoiding what’s uncomfortable.It’s also about shadow work — the kind that doesn’t look neat.In spiritual circles, it’s easy to bypass this stuff with ideas or presence talk. But the deeper integration happens in the body.—I work 1:1 with people who want to stop living in their heads and start facing what’s really driving them — especially the parts they’ve learned to avoid.You can book a free intro session here: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chat Hosted on Acast.

Feeling Not Thinking: Tony Adams on Addiction and Healing

Ex England and Arsenal footballer Tony Adams strips back the layers of addiction, revealing how we're feeling beings trapped in a thinking world. From his own struggles with alcohol to founding Sporting Chance, Tony explores why we run from emotions and how recovery means learning to feel again. He unpacks the ego, explains why addiction isn't about the substance but escaping uncomfortable feelings, and shares hard-won wisdom about moving from the head to the heart. He discusses how we can nurture our inner child, accept our emotions without judgment, and find a path to healing. I am away on holiday and taking a break so rereleasing this conversation from my back catalogue. I chose this episode because avoiding our feelings is so commonplace - through substances, activities, distractions and even overthinking.

Beyond Thought: A Journey from Prison to Presence - Matt Tenney

Matt Tenney has clocked well over 10,000 hours of meditation. He’s also a leadership coach working with some of the biggest companies in the US. But his journey started in a very different place — as a military officer facing decades in prison.It was during that time, especially in solitary confinement, that Matt began to see clearly how suffering really works. He realised it’s not the outside world that causes it — it’s our identification with the voice in our heads. The thoughts that tell us who we are, what we should be doing, and how we compare to others.Matt shares how he came to recognise the awareness that sits behind all of that — and how tuning into that space is where real peace and freedom come from.We talk about: His personal story of transformation How desire fuels suffering What mindfulness really means — and how to apply it in daily life How to create space between what happens and how we respond And why happiness isn’t something to achieve — it’s what’s left when we stop believing the thoughts that obscure itThis conversation goes deep — but in a grounded and practical way. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head or caught in the trap of always needing to achieve more, this one’s for you.Here is the link to book a free 1:1 coaching consultation with me:https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chatMy other links:Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/bookYouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundieWebsite: simonmundie.comSubstack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.
