| 8/1/25 | Beyond Recovery – From Not Drinking Alcohol to No Longer Wanting To | Recovery for me meant a never-ending self-improvement project and a continuous focus on my problems. So while my relationship with alcohol was destroying my life, the idea of recovery simply wasn't attractive enough to me. Then one day I asked myself the question. How would my life need to be for me to not want to use alcohol? The thing that initially attracted me to alcohol provided some vital clues. I realized that I wanted to be comfortable in my own skin, comfortable around other people, and for the world to appear full of wonder as it sometimes did when I first started drinking alcohol. I then knew that if I could get these things a better way, I wouldn't need alcohol anymore. | — | ||||||

| 6/3/25 | Talking to a Toddler About Epistemology | Here we explore how a toddler's simple enquiry "why is the sky blue?" can reveal the limits of adult knowing. This question can be an invitation back to a non-ordinary world that is full of wonder. It can help us see how the ordinary way of seeing is just a veil we place upon the non-ordinary. | — | ||||||
| 5/27/25 | Why I Gave Up On Spiritual Transcendence | Wouldn't it be nice to transcend all of the complications of life? No more desires, no more messiness, no more concerns about anything.

| 5/20/25 | The Secret to Cultivating Positive Inner Qualities | Plentyof attention is given to escaping unwholesome desires and eliminating negativethinking patterns, but what about things we want there to be more of?

| 3/17/23 | Not Knowing How I Am Doing | Every judgement I make about how I am doing is based on unprovable assumptions. Our ideas about who we are and how we are going generate resistance and rejection of what is here. | — | ||||||
| 12/23/22 | Not Knowing What This Is | Life is baffling. That we experience anything at all is astounding. We use our knowledge of the world like a safety blanket in an attempt to navigate with the complexity of life. This fools us into believing that we know what this is and we know what we are. The world can appear less baffling because of this, but it also means we become a prisoner of our understanding. | — | ||||||
| 12/2/22 | All Is Stillness | When we discover stillness, there can be a desire to escape into it. This is a rejection of life. Eventually we realize that all is stillness, so there is no need to escape anything - it is always and already here. | — | ||||||

| 11/29/22 | Resting In The Fullness of Experience | The fullness of our experience can never be captured in any label. Problems occur when we reduce the fullness of the experience to particulars within that experience. This causes us to contract so that the particular has much greater influence over what we are experiencing. | — | ||||||
| 11/21/22 | Appreciating Physical Sensation | Out of the sea of physical sensation that we experience, we focus on a miniscule amount, and we allow this to determine our perception. The sea of sensation that we experience can never be captured in any label, and we have to ignore this truth to create our limited interpretations. Appreciating physical sensation is the key to unlocking our perception. | — | ||||||
| 11/11/22 | Appreciating What is Here | Our biggest regret is often that we didn't appreciate things more. Yet, when we are asked about how we would actually go about doing this, we can be at a loss about how to go about it. What does it mean to appreciate? The original video for this can be found on my YouTube channel https://youtu.be/AimVg32xNKc | — | ||||||
| 11/6/22 | Supported By Stillness | Stillness is the support we are looking for. It is always available and completely unconditional. Stillness requires being at peace with what is here. When we are at peace with what is here, the world is able to shine. Here is a link to the post I mentioned in the video: https://paulgarrigan.com/finding-home/ | — | ||||||
| 11/1/22 | Choosing What Is Here | Choosing what is here means being faithful to this moment. It is only by doing this that we can find the peace so many of us are desperately seeking. The only alternative to choosing what is here is craving, and this always moves us away from peace. | — | ||||||
| 10/4/22 | Lighten the Feck Up! Seeing the Wonder | Life became an intense struggle because of the things I thought I knew. The solution was wonder, and the realization that my ideas and beliefs were not supported by the evidence. All of the questions that bothered me were based on unsupported assumptions about life. I did not need to answer these questions but just realize that they were built on fantasy. http://paulgarrigan.com/ | — | ||||||

| 11/16/21 |  How Insight into Emptiness Frees the Imagination | There are ways of relating to the world that eliminate suffering and increase joy.

| 7/2/21 |  Guided Meditation for Developing Trust | The purpose of this guided meditation is for you to experience trust and to clearly see how craving pulls us out of the stream of experience. It is recommended that you listen to the previous podcast (or YouTube video) called 'Craving Is The Source Of Suffering And Trust Is The Antidote' to better understand what is going on in this meditation. | — | ||||||
| 6/29/21 |  Craving Is The Source Of Suffering And Trust Is The Antidote | Our life is an everchanging stream of experiences. When we attempt to resist this stream, it causes us to suffer. This resistance is caused by craving. We can learn to just trust the stream of experiences, and when we do this, we are filled with peace and joy. This is not something for us to believe - it is something we need to see for ourselves. If you are interested in doing some coaching with me, you can find out more here.

| 4/14/21 | How We Go Wrong with Trust and Acceptance | Trust and acceptance are two of the most useful ways of relating to life, but they can also make our situation worse. Acceptance can become a type of prison when what we are accepting is the limitations placed on us by the thinking-mind. Trust can be a path to despair when it is dependent on reaching a specific goal (e.g. I want my ex back). If you are interested in doing some coaching with me, you can find out more here.

| 3/30/21 | Musings on: Imaginal Love: The Meanings and Imagination of Henry Corbin and James Hillman by Tom Cheetham | Literalism is at the core of most of our problems in the world today. In this episode, I share some musings on the book Imaginal Love by Tom Cheetham. Here he examines the ideas of Henry Corbin and James Hillman for how the imagination can help us break free of dogmatism, fanaticism, and the despondency that prevails modern life. It is through the imaginal that we once again re-enchant our universe. You can find out more about Tom Cheetham and his books on his website here.

| 3/11/21 | How Losing Our Minds Might Be The Answer To All Of Our Problems | When our body (which includes the brain) produces thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations, it creates an illusion of a separate 'self' that is doing the thinking, feeling, and sensing. This experience of a separate 'doer' is what I mean by the mind. As we learn to trust the body to do what needs to be done, living starts to become effortless. | — | ||||||
| 1/8/21 | Experiencing Life As a Dream | Life can be so intense that it becomes unbearable. In this episode of the podcast, I discuss how loosening our grip on reality means things become much easier for us. It is this dream-like relationship with reality that so many of us deeply yearn for. It is the thing we are missing - it is the 'hole in the soul' we are trying to fill.
