Simple Practices to Raise and Sustain Your Vibration

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/01/17

In this episode, I explore what it really means to raise our vibration, not through forcing positivity, but through awareness, clearing, and presence. We are energetic beings, and our thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences all shape our vibration. Many of the feelings that lower our energy, arise from early experiences and repeated psychological loops that play out again and again in our lives. In this episode, I share how becoming aware of these patterns, and learning to pause, brea...

Meeting Life Without Resistance

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/01/10

In this episode of The Practice of Being, I explore the practice of non-resistance -what it is, what it isn’t, and how it can transform the way we meet life. Non-resistance does not mean passivity or giving up. It doesn’t mean we stop stretching, growing, or acting. Instead, it simply suggests that we meet life as it is, without forcing, imposing, or resisting our experience. Drawing on lived experience, Taoist wisdom such as wu wei, and simple embodied metaphors, this episode explores how re...

The Practice of Being: Reflecting on 2025, Entering 2026

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2026/01/03

In this episode of The Practice of Being, I explore reflecting on the year that has passed and how we can step into the year ahead from a place of presence rather than striving. Together, we look back on 2025 from a place of self awareness, reflecting on our relationships, work, dreams, and inner life. This is not about judgement or regret, but about taking responsibility with kindness: acknowledging where we showed up well, where we may have acted differently, and what the year h...

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2025/12/27

In this episode, I’m joined by Anadi Taylor for a reflective conversation about the tendency to 'try too hard' and the often unseen cost of living in constant effort. We explore what “trying too hard” really means, why so many people fall into this pattern, and how the short-term rewards of approval, achievement, and control can quietly lead to exhaustion, burnout, and disconnection from ourselves. Together, we look at how early conditioning, parental expectations, and social and peer pressur...

Unconditional Love: A Daily Practice of Letting Go

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2025/12/20

In this solo episode, I explore unconditional love as a living, breathing practice, one that asks us to recognise the divinity within ourselves and in everyone we meet. Unconditional love is not a destination, but a journey of gently clearing the layers that obscure our true nature: identification with thoughts, emotions, opinions, judgements, control, and the need for others or life to be different. Through conscious presence and compassion, we begin to meet life exactly as it is, with...

Permission to Be Yourself!

Bodhisattva Conversations. ·

2025/12/13

In this episode, Julia explores one of the most liberating truths we often forget: you are allowed to choose the life you want! She looks at why so many of us wait for permission, from society, from family expectations, from old conditioning, or from outdated versions of ourselves. She talks about how unconscious “shoulds” shape our choices, how inherited scripts limit our expression, and how fear of failure and success, keeps us playing small. Julia prompts you to recognise the beliefs...
