This episode is a rocket launcher for enabling all the weird ways you already half-know stuff, ie … intuition! The way we get into the subject is curious and open and “non-expert-y” – we hope it will create an opening for you to consider the possibilities of intuition in your own life. Via the gut, via empathy, via dreams – and via a bunch of other deliciously unsanctioned ways of knowing that certain guardians of scientific respectability can’t see, can’t handle, and also have no sense of humor about. KA-POW!Our guide in this rollicking convo is the delightful Sebene Selassie, meditation teacher, author of You Belong, and creator of the terrific Substack, Ancestors to Elements.
Yes, thank you for these comments. This was a really great experience for me as well. As I make abundantly clear, I'm no expert in this! And it felt both comfortable and powerful to share this exploration with Jeff and Tasha. Thanks friends!
Love these comments! That’s exactly what I felt during this conversation. The way Sebene frames it opens up new possibilities for intuition that I hadn’t ever considered. It helps you honour what you’re already doing, thereby rescuing the subject of intuition for everyone. And I also found the prayer discussion at the end so helpful.
Definitely felt my own understanding expand during this one.

I loved everything about this episode - mostly how it was a little uncomfortable for me. I guess like many I definitely have moments where I feel I know something. But I also have WAY more moments where my own fears masquerade as intuition in the form of negative thoughts about the future. The way Sebene described how there really isn't a rubric for intuition is both what has kept me from exploring it and what freed me to explore it more. Thanks, y'all. This episode was like a really great stretching session for my soul and spirit.

I loved this episode. I have been unable to pray since leaving my faith — just doesn’t work anymore. I miss my conversations with God. But this idea of intuition — knowing things in my body, heart, brain — this was always at the center of prayer for me. Asking the questions — listening — trying new questions — and trying new questions again. And finally feeling things line up in all the spaces in my body. During Sebene’s practice today I saw all of these places that are beautiful to me — I was filled with them — and I thought perhaps I haven’t lost prayer — perhaps I just need to rename my process — my practice — of seeking and knowing.
I really enjoyed this. I have experiences quite often that I am becoming more open to seeing in this way. I feel like the knowingness comes in visual metaphors, like in movies. Where the same symbol will keep presenting itself until I decipher it.
