Welcome to Meaning-Making 101:   Herein, discover a story of human history that connects us with today, as we dive deep into the ancient wisdom of our past to connect with insights of our modern age, with the hope of discovering what is timeless and relevant to advancing the potential of our awakening today.   In this episode of Actuali Live our coverage of John Vervaeke's Awakening from the Meaning Crisis continues with part 14 of the series, on the Epicureans, Cynics, and Stoics.   Join us as we consider this groundbreaking series which proposes how our modern societies got into this mess of social breakdown due to a deep sense of loss of meaning as our trust and belief in previously prevailing institutions, (religious, government, economic, scientific, etc.) decreases, and division, uncertainty, and nihilism threatens to increase.    This is now juxtaposed with a Mindfulness Revolution sweeping the globe, as our interest in ancient wisdom and the more mystical sides of ancient reli

[CAUTION: Never practice this breathing technique while operating heavy machinery.] Welcome everyone! In this episode we practice a beginner's, or easy-mode version of Wim Hof breathing, followed by a guided meditation. I find that this breathing method brings one so quickly into a serene, clarified state, that it is perfect before meditation - not to mention the positive side-effects of clearing inflammation, boosting the immune system, as well as increasing (in micro-dose quantities) the endogenous dmt and other healthy chemicals naturally produced within our own bodies. Also known as the Spirit Molecule, DMT appears to aid in deepening one's sense of inner-peace, clarity of awareness, and sense of flow-like effortlessness. A note on microdosing: If one wishes to micro-dose safely, naturally, and legally, this is a way. Please be safe, seek guidance, and be mindful of local and national laws. That said, we support the work towards legalization and integration of our sacred plant medicines with health
