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 192: 10 years of self discovery
The path of self-inquiry and awareness is long and winding. Cultivating the willingness and discipline to embark on—and continue—the journey is critical to our evolution as humans having a human experience. In this episode, I reflect on a decade since I hit rock bottom and the steps I've taken towards self-illumination and truly BEING myself.
Ep 191: Your devotion to your inner work becomes devotion to everyone (Copy)
Inner work may fee like a solitary experience—and it's true that only you can heal your traumas, blocks, and limitations. But the work you do to heal yourself and connect more deeply with your Soul is not done in a vacuum. That healing benefits everyone around you. The more devoted you are to the work, the more you transform and make that transformation available to the entire planet. In this episode, I share thoughts on how you can expand your devotion to your spiritual journey to impact your family, ancestors, and the collective.
Ep 179: A simple way towards world peace—cultivate peace within
Prayers for world peace may seem like a lofty—or even naive—dream. But I believe that we can, and will, create a more peaceful, just planet by starting with ourselves. If those of us in the privileged, relatively safe parts of the world can't hold compassion, empathy, and love for ourselves and the people around us, how can we ask that to happen on the world stage? When you cultivate inner peace and serenity, you radiate it our into the morphogenic collective field. We can do that in simple ways, such as a smile to a stranger, an intentional burst of light to a passerby, or forgiveness to someone (or yourself) for some wrongdoing. If we simply remember each other—recognize the divinity in all—we create a pathway to harmony on this planet.
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.
