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 174: Leverage the astrological energies for deep healing and activation
There’s so much happening in our skies right now—Venus retrograde in Leo, the Sun and Mercury in Leo, and a new nodal shift to name a few. In this episode, I share some of the ways to connect with these energies and leverage them for profound healing and activation.
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 122: The Aquarian Vision of Soul Tribe Online from the Gene Key perspective
Today's podcast is a conversation hosted by Alison McCabe, a professional astrologer, and blogger. She is bringing a Gene Keys Immersion to Soul Tribe Online, an online yoga, meditation, and healing arts community where I teach my weekly Energetic Tune Up classes. The Gene Keys Transmission is a synthesis between the I Ching and Western Astrology and in this conversation, we include the visionaries behind Soul Tribe Online with Alison's perspective as a Gene Keys Guide.
Ep 121: Anchoring into your Self
Where are you anchoring your life? I don't mean physically where are you, but on a metaphysical and existential level, do you have a point of stability and grounding that brings you back to your soul? It is important to anchor ourselves into behaviors, practices, and routines that cultivate a connection to our infinite, quantum Selves. When we have a secure anchor point, we can take these messages to heart and see what magic unfolds.
Ep 120: Self-expression through embodiment
Embodying our values and our true essence is an incredible tool for self-expression. We express ourselves through our creativity, our communication, our presence, and our energy and if we can show up as our Selves in as many moments as possible, this is the true embodiment of the Soul. It's time to create and allow more space for your soul to be expressed in this physical vessel—right here and now. By living your soul's purpose and showing the world who you really are, you give others permission to do the same. This is how we uplift the world and make real, lasting change.
Ep 119: Establishing Stability in Chaos
How are you navigating this chaotic world we live in? Are you feeling overwhelmed with all of the transitions and dissonance around you? As the summer ends and we enter the heart of Virgo season, the Cosmic energy is supporting you in cultivating clear, strong, supportive behaviors in your life to build a foundation for success. In this episode, I discuss some of the astrological alignments that are influencing us and creating opportunities for us to establish routines that will support us in elevating ourselves and the world along with us.
Ep 115: Boundaries and knowing how and when to say No as self care
Have you ever found yourself saying yes to something and then regretted it afterward? Do you have trouble discerning when to say No versus doing something out of some form of people-pleasing? In this episode, I give some recent examples in my life where I said no to something and how those clear boundaries empowered me to rest, relax, and still show up for what I was actually required to do.
Ep 114: Overflowing with energy: A guided meditation and Solar energy activation
I recently had a beautiful experience on a meditation journey with a group of powerful women. I was asked by one of my guides, "If you released yourself of all limitations, what do you really desire?" The answer welled up within me so quickly that there was no time to overthink it: I want to overflow.
Ep 113: Being Present and Swimming in the Solstice Energy
Even as we begin to enter a post-pandemic world and the summertime urge to reengage with social circles and travel, we are still being called to look within, listen to our inner wisdom, and cultivate silence. But that requires space. Are you creating space in your daily life to contemplate what's happened emotionally and energetically over this past 15 or more months?
Ep 112: Cultivating space for creating your reality
Even as we begin to enter a post-pandemic world and the summertime urge to reengage with social circles and travel, we are still being called to look within, listen to our inner wisdom, and cultivate silence. But that requires space. Are you creating space in your daily life to contemplate what's happened emotionally and energetically over this past 15 or more months?
Ep 111: Cosmic Communication and Mercury Retrograde
Mercury retrograde is nothing to be afraid of but is an opportunity to reexamine your Cosmic Communication. Right now, Mercury is in retrograde in Gemini, where it is most comfortable, which amplifies the energy. It is more important than ever to be mindful of your communication.
Ep 104: Freedom and acceptance come from within
When we can fully accept ourselves, then we can accept others and be free of judgment and fear, which in turn allows us to fully receive the love that is all around us. As we all navigate this world, it is so important that we dedicate time and presence to self-care, self-love, and ultimately, the love that we are. By ignoring our spiritual needs, we block ourselves off from this true reality.
Ep 103: Rebirth and the GOD cycle
One of my favorite descriptions of GOD is as an acronym: Generate, Organize, Destroy. We've all experienced this first-hand. For something new and beautiful to be born, something must end. But with every little "death" there is an opportunity for something new. In this episode, I invite you to recognize the GOD cycle in your own life and connect with the opportunity to begin again, and again.
Ep 102: Devotion to your Soul
What are you devoted to? I've been connecting even more deeply with my devotion to my own evolution. I believe that the greatest love we can give and receive is through our devotion to our Soul. For me, that has taken many forms over the last few years of my spiritual journey, but one act is a solid foundation to my journey: daily meditation. By committing to a meditation practice every single day—no matter what—I have shown myself that I am capable of doing things I never thought I'd do.
Episode 101: Inviting balance into our lives
Before, during, and after the recent equinox on March 20, I have been thinking a lot about balance. What does balance look like for me? Where can I cultivate more balance to allow more space and freedom in my life? In this episode, I share some of the processes I've been contemplating and how I invite balance in on an energetic/etheric as well as physical level. Ride this wave of energy as we come off the equinox and the new beginnings the astrological new year allows for.
