A New Way of Being – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Most of us have been taught to stop shaking when we’re scared or stressed. But what if that shaking is actually the key to feeling safe again?

David Berceli has worked in some of the most stressful environments on earth. From his time in war zones came TRE — Trauma Releasing Exercises — a way to deliberately reawaken this natural tremoring reflex and let the body finish what stress started.

In this episode, we explore how TRE works, why it’s so effective, and how it can help you reconnect with your body’s own healing mechanisms.

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.

A deep and honest conversation about what happens when your identity dissolves, and how awakening isn’t what most people think.

In this episode of A New Way of Being, Simon speaks with spiritual teacher Lisa Cairns about the raw and real experience of spiritual awakening.

Lisa shares how a spontaneous shift in Bali completely changed her perception of reality — dissolving her sense of self, shaking her identity, and opening her to a sense of vast, loving awareness. Far from being a blissed-out fairytale, her journey included disorientation, vulnerability, and deep questioning.

This conversation explores:

• What spiritual awakening actually looks and feels like

• Why awakening doesn’t make life easier — but can make it more honest

• The illusions we live by and what happens when they fall away

• How to navigate the loss of identity with self-awareness and care

• Why freedom is always available — even in the mess

This is a challenging and inspiring listen that cuts through spiritual clichés and gets to the heart of what it means to wake up.

Did you seek the Nike Olympics advert- asking 'Am I a bad person - because I want to win?' It got a few people talking before the Games, but once they started it didn't resonate. Because this Olympics, more than any other, exhibited beautiful examples of vulnerability, gratitude, humility, transcending tribalism, and mental-health wisdom. Nike were beind the curve.

One person (and organisation) who is most certainly ahead of the curve is Sam Parfitt, founder of the true Athlete Project, who do remarkable things to harness the power of sport to create a more compassionate world.

Humans are the worst sleepers in the animal kindom. We are also sleeping fewer hours, and less restoratively than our Grandparents and older ancestors. Sleep is know to be the greatest performance enhancer. A deep 8 hour sleep leaves you feeling like a million dollars - but it is increasingly elusive. I have recorded an episode about insomnia specifically, link below, but this bitesize episode features a world renowned neuroscientist sharing his top tips for sleeping well - the last one may surprise you.

Here are five 'practices' I enjoy doing, and recommend, that can help break your identification with thought. I have benefitted from these and continue to do so. I talk about:

• An ACT defusion technique
• Self-Enquiry - my favourite question
• Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) - the importance of bodywork
• The power of surrender - getting out of your own way
• Exploring awareness - does anything actually arise 'outside' of awareness?

Explore the transformational power of non-duality. I speak about non-duality quite a lot on ANWOB. I want to explain how it has impacted my life - and how it can yours too. In my experience it can reduce suffering and conflict, increases your sense of uncaused joy as well as your relationships - and can make you a nicer person to be around! Also, it allows us to face and transcend limiting beliefs, conditioning and patterns.

“Each session with Simon has been enjoyable and enlightening in equal measure. I have begun my own journey into exploring non-duality after first becoming aware of it through Simon’s podcast. Through our conversations I have learnt a lot not only about non-duality but my about my own journey and path and Simon’s use of his own experiences are really helpful in grasping the ideas behind it all. After each chat I really feel like my ‘cup has been filled" - Jack

"I have to say that in the days following our call I felt as though there had been a profound shift. I started meditating again and felt, for the first time, the sense of the subject/object drop away. The days that followed were some of the best days I have had in many years as there seemed to be so much more space between me any my thoughts." - Henry

"Suffering is wishing things were other than they are" - Buddha

Suffering is a part of life for the vast majority of us - but does that really need to be the case? Pain is inevitable, but psychological suffering is not. This is something I discussed with Peter Crone - aka The Mind Architect - and we talked about it stemming from a fundamental case of mistaken identity.

What does it take to become an Olympic great? Michael Johnson is one of athletics' greatest ever performers. He did the 200m and 400m double at the 1996 Olympics, smashing a world record in the process. All this while wearing gold shoes - which certainly takes some confidence. I spoke to him a while back about what it took to achieve what he did, and learned some valuable lessons about dealing with nerves and 'pressure' in the process

'You have to ask yourself the question 'Who am I?'. This investigation will lead in the end to the discovery of something within you which is behind the mind. Solve that great problem and you will solve all other problems' - Ramana Maharshi.

Self-Inquiry is a process through which you investigate and discover what you fundamentally are - and what you are not. It is a 'technique' popularised by the Indian Sage Ramana Maharshi, in which you question your sense of 'I', and which can lead to a profound sense of peace and wellbeing.

I came across Rich's work via Gary Weber - author of the outstanding book 'Happiness Beyond thought'. In it Gary details how he 'woke up' and literally stopped the endless chatter in his head that is so familiar to the vast majority of the human species. Gary then taught Rich how to do self-inquiry, and Rich 'woke up' too - leading them to record dialogues together which you can find on YouTube.

In this conversation we discuss how to do self-inquiry, the importance of practice, the best questions to use to help you, as well as the potential healing power of psychedelics and in particular ayahuasca.
