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 178: How can we more actively work to become the person we want to be?
We all have behaviors we'd love to shift or release, and they are often related to triggers that touch on sensitive issues that we haven't yet healed or transcended. But when something or someone triggers you into a trauma response, you can look at it as a moment to learn more about yourself. The programming and conditioning from childhood and beyond can be stuck deep in the subconscious. You may not even be aware of why you react in extreme ways in any given situation. In this episode, I share some recent experiences observing myself in less-than-enlightened reactions and some steps we can all take to do the self-inquiry required to heal our past traumas. As we continue to evolve emotionally, more is revealed to be healed. I believe this is a lifelong process towards your true Self.
Ep 177: How can you create a refuge within where you can believe?
The world around us is not transforming on the time scale that makes our lives easier. But we can create—and believe in—a refuge within. In this episode, I share some ways to create a refuge of peace and prosperity for yourself. You can invite this energy into your life in simple yet profound ways. We can create a space where we believe all the magic, miracles, love, and peace are available. Each day, if you create a container—a reminder—for yourself, you begin to transform your inner world. You can manifest your biggest dreams from that sanctuary of faith in yourself. And from that space, the energy is so abundant that it will overflow and create a wave of peace in the world.
Ep 176: Embracing our differences
As humanity continues to evolve and learn from the past, more and more people identify in ways that are "different" from the traditional norm. But what if we look at these beautiful ways that make people unique as strengths? What if we saw neurodivergence as a natural progression of how humans are able to sense the world and connect in new ways? In this episode, I contemplate some of these concepts and invite you to take a wider perspective on our differences. Let's embrace the diverse ways we can navigate and be in this world!
Ep 175: Why community connection is so important
Whether you're an introvert or an extrovert, we all receive benefits from engaging in community. As we connect with other human beings, our own gifts are amplified through that heart connection. In this episode, I reflect on my experience at a recent yoga retreat and how it reinforced for me how much collaboration and immersion in collective energy is for my own evolution. Maybe it will help inspire you to join a community or start to cultivate your own!
Ep 174: Leverage the astrological energies for deep healing and activation
