42. What Is Vipassana? A Buddhist Path to Inner Peace

Episode 25

Sunday, February 8, 2026 • Duration 30:25

In this episode, I explore Vipassana meditation, one of the world’s most ancient and transformative mindfulness practices. You’ll learn its origins, core philosophy, what really happens in a 10-day silent meditation retreat, and why its teachings continue to influence my own practice.

Although Vipassana isn’t the technique I use daily, the Buddhist principles behind it, including the law of impermanence and the cultivation of equanimity, have deeply shaped my understanding of meditation.

What l cover in this episode:

What “Vipassana” means and its Buddhist meditation origins
How the Buddha taught Vipassana as an antidote to suffering and misery
The 3 pillars of Vipassana: Sila (ethics), Samadhi (mind mastery), and Punya (wisdom)
Why the breath and bodily sensation are the anchors of the practice
The difference between objective truth and subjective truth in meditation
A behind-the-scenes look at a 10-day Vipassana retreat — rules, schedule, and challenges
The Buddhist law of impermanence (Anicca) and why it’s life-changing
Equanimity as the antidote to craving and aversion
How contemplating death can help us embrace life fully
My personal challenges, breakthroughs, and takeaways from Vipassana in India
Why Vipassana works for some people — and why it might not suit everyone

Whether you’ve been curious about Vipassana or are considering a silent meditation retreat, hopefully you find this episode insightful in your own practise and experience of life.

36. The Physiology of Peace (Nervous System - Part 3) - Insight #17

Season 1 · Episode 36

Sunday, November 30, 2025 • Duration 24:24

Welcome to Part 3 of 3 in this mini series of episodes on Meditation and the Nervous System.

In this episode, we explore the parasympathetic nervous system, the body’s built-in relaxation response, and why I call it the “meditation response.”

We’ll discover how meditation helps the nervous system reset, release stress, and return to its natural state of balance, joy, and connection.

We also explore the polyvagal theory, which reveals the two very different ways we can enter the parasympathetic state, and why understanding this is key to health, healing, and happiness.

Topics covered:

The magical nature of the parasympathetic state and its role in healing
The two different ways we can enter the parasympathetic state
Ventral vagus vs. dorsal vagus: The difference between connection and shutdown
How the body instinctively self-regulates when it feels safe
Why chronic stress blocks access to joy, meaning, and connection
How meditation creates the conditions of safety for nervous system reset
Six practical cues that signal safety and shift you into rest & digest
The unique role of mindfulness in disarming false stress triggers

So hopefully these last 3 episodes have helped you to:

Understand your own relationship with stress a little better
Become aware of the levels you may have normalised in your own system
Illuminate the impact it might be having on your health and happiness

Ultimately, my hope is to highlight not just the stress, but the way back to balance, a clear path in meditation to restoring your health, vitality, and joy.

35. The Physiology of Too Much Stress (Nervous System - Part 2) Insight #16

Episode 36

Sunday, November 16, 2025 • Duration 23:17

Welcome to Part 2 of 3 in this mini series of episodes on Meditation and the Nervous System.

In this episode, we dive deep into the anatomy of the stress response and explore why meditation is such a powerful antidote.

You’ll learn how this survival system was designed to protect us but how in modern life it often works against us.

Topics covered:

What the stress response is and why nature designed it
Your biological defence shield
Why imagined fears trigger the same reaction as real danger
How chronic stress drains energy and relegates our health
A lesson from the animal kingdom
5 ways stress physically reshapes the body (jaw, joints, digestion, nerves, tendons)
Why meditation is a practical tool to reset the nervous system

Stress isn’t just “in your head”... it’s in your body!

Through meditation we help our physical body guide shift the nervous system out of chronic sympathetic activation and into a restorative state where tissues, joints, and nerves can re-lengthen, decompress, and heal.

34. Meditation & Your Nervous System (Nervous System - Part 1) Insight #15

Episode 35

Sunday, November 2, 2025 • Duration 20:23

Welcome to Part 1 of 3 in this mini series of episodes on Meditation and the Nervous System.

One of the most common reasons people come to meditation is the impact of too much stress...But!

Not all stress is bad.

In fact, stress is essential, it’s the overdose and poor recovery that harm us.

In this episode, I share how meditation helps us change our relationship with stress and why awareness is the first step to freedom.

Topics covered:

Redefining stress: the difference between helpful stress and harmful stress
Where stress lives
Stress as an internal response
Why the same event triggers different stress levels in different people
How stress shrinks your “comfort zone” and makes you more reactive
The radical shift of taking responsibility for your stress response
How society conditions us to normalise high stress
Why stress itself isn’t the problem, but unawareness and poor recovery are
How self-awareness breaks the cycle of conditioning and restores balance
Meditation as a daily tool: not just for enlightenment, but for stress management and resilience

So I hope this first episode was helpful in reminding you that stress isn’t the enemy, it’s simply a messenger and meditation helps us listen.
