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 147: What does Presence really mean and how can we use it to grow?
We hear the word presence all the time in yoga, meditation, and wellness circles, but what does that really mean? In our modern age, we are bombarded by distractions that are pulling our thoughts and energy in a million directions. It's also built into our brains and nervous system as a whole to be constantly aware of our surroundings for evolutionary reasons. We are often thinking about the past or visualizing the future. But when we connect with the present moment—whether we are working, creating, having a moment with our loved ones, or meditating—we are able to connect with our true Selves and magnetize love and abundance.
Ep 146: What does home mean to you?
Home is more than the buildings we live in. It is an energy, a vibration, an energetic signature. We can be at home anywhere on Earth. We can be at home no matter where we are if we cultivate the comfort, safety, and love within. And when you do this for yourself through yoga, meditation, and other spiritual practices, you open your receptivity to more fully embody all that you are.
Ep 145: Opening up our receptivity and connecting to our magnetism
Many people can easily give energy—like time, money, attention, and even love—but are not genuinely open to receiving it for themselves. There may be blocks, resistance, and protective mechanisms that interfere with our willingness to accept energy on a fundamental level. In this episode, I talk about some of the ways we can begin to open our receptivity and magnetize the energy we need to not only survive but thrive and fulfill our Soul's destiny.
Ep 144: How can we respond with intention instead of reacting in the moment?
Many of us are constantly reacting to the world around us. But how can we respond to the people and situations around us with intention, grace, and clarity? As we continue to go-go-go, we risk burnout, resentment, and health complications from chronic stress. If we take some time to pause, listen, and intentionally respond, we are building a more sustainable way to live—for ourselves and for others.
