Third Eye Science
Blurring the lines between science and spirituality.
In the Third Eye Science podcast, Susan von Thun and her guests will explore the lines between science and spirituality. As a scientist and yogi, Susan has found that these two realms do not have to be mutually exclusive. With the perspective of a logical scientist, she has navigated her own spiritual journey with a curious, open mind. She’ll share lessons and tools she found along the way and have compelling conversations with spiritual leaders, teachers, yogis, healers and fellow travelers about their experiences and practices. In this age of information and misinformation, it’s time to interpret and understand the world with your third eye.

Ep 132: What do we do when self-doubt creeps in?
We all have self-doubt at some point in our lives. When it does creep in, it is more important than ever to give yourself the time and space to listen deeply to your intuition. But sometimes your inner wisdom can get drowned out by all of the "shoulds" in your life—cultural or familial expectations and opinions. It's time to listen to yourSelf and be your own guru, your own spiritual guide.
Ep 131: Cultivating Optimism in Our Lives
We made it through the eclipse portal and it's time to set our Sagittarius mindset on our most expanded possibilities! But as you continue to navigate the challenges of the world, how can we cultivate optimism in our daily lives? In this episode, I discuss some simple actions you can take that can help you bring more confidence, enthusiasm, and hopefulness into your life.
Ep 130: What is your body telling you?
The mere act of being human can be incredibly intense and arduous at times. From the physical to the spiritual challenges, we must navigate it all. Whether you are in the midst of a health crisis or just minor ailments, if you include a curiosity about what your body is telling you, in addition to any marvels of modern medicine that you feel called to engage with, you may find that insight will come that may help ease the experience. Sometimes we aren’t meant to “fix” a physical symptom, but to listen to the deeper cause below the surface. And sometimes, we are meant to just be with our current reality.
Ep 129: Discipline and Devotion, then Magnetism
Discipline can have negative connotations, but it is a necessary part of our spiritual journey and evolution. Through discipline, devotion, and clear intentions, you create magnetic energy that allows you to manifest the life your intuition shows you in those moments of silence when you listen deeply to your Soul.
Ep 128: Open yourself to guidance within and from the spirit realms
Navigating your spiritual journey means being open to guidance from your own internal compass as well as the benevolent beings that are here to help. This help can come in many forms. The question is, are listening and aware of the messages you receive that are supporting and guiding you in the right direction?
Ep 127: Whole-heartedly Diving into Scorpio Season
It's Scorpio season and while that may have you feeling like you want to sting someone, it's also an incredible opportunity for deep, profound healing. Scorpio's archetypes include our fickle friend the scorpion, but it also has the energy of the phoenix and the eagle. We are invited to dive into our emotions, feel them—spikey and uncomfortable as they may be—and allow them to transmute.
Ep 126: Examining your relationship to Time
We all have a relationship with time. Sometimes it stresses us out and we may often be projecting ourselves into the future or dwelling in the past. But when we truly swim in presence, this moment right now, we experience timelessness and the Unity field.
Ep 125: Knowing when to take action and when to pause
We all face decisions and have impulses all day every day. But do you know when you are reacting impulsively and when you are acting on intuition? Listening to your intuition takes practice. It's a muscle that needs testing and training. As you deepen into your ability to pause and listen, you can confidently move forward at the right moment.
Ep 124: Establishing healthy routines to withstand the uncertainty
As we continue to withstand the uncertainty and unease in the world around us, it is so important to establish (or reestablish) routines in your daily life that create a foundation for physical, emotional, and energetic health. In this episode, I touch on some of the most important things you can get disciplined about doing so that you start and end each day with some semblance of stability.
Ep 123: Being human through these trying times
If there is anything we've been forced to reckon with in our lives during this time, it's uncertainty. As human beings, we have evolved to crave certainty. Undergoing this tremendous amount of stress and unpredictability for an extended period can create anxiety, melancholy, depression, or some emotion along that spectrum. And while you may not realize it, you may be experiencing some form of emotional reaction to this incredible stress to your nervous system. In this episode, I discuss how I too am experiencing my own variation of pandemic flux syndrome and how acknowledging my emotions and reactions to this once-in-a-lifetime stress has given me some relief from my own self-judgment.
