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 155: What is your pain trying to tell you?

Ep 155: What is your pain trying to tell you?

Our pain is not merely a manifestation of how we move our bodies in the world but an invitation to dive deeper into what our bodies and emotions are trying to tell us. In this episode, I share a recent experience I had with some debilitating lower back pain and how it forced me into a self-reflective existential inquiry into what my body was trying to tell me. While it may seem like we can resolve our pain through medical interventions, I believe the symptoms are merely a wake-up call to find the answers within.

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.

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.
