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 110: Open to the potential
This full moon eclipse feels like a powerful opportunity to connect to the potential of the Cosmos. As we release and get ready for a rebirth of sorts, the potential energy all around us feels palpable. From new habits and routines, as our daily lives begin to shift in the coming months, to completely new directions in life, there really is no limit to where you can go from here.
Ep 109: Embrace the process of transformation
Does anyone else feel like they are in the final stages of becoming something/someone else? I feel like I'm the caterpillar in the cacoon, just about to break out of the cacoon and start life as a butterfly. I mean this figuratively, but I suppose it could be taken quite literally, as the world changes and we emerge from our cocoons after a year+ of relative hibernation.
Ep 108: Honoring the Divine Feminine in All
I invite you to connect to the Mother energy within you and the creative force within you as we shift the planetary alignment to have more harmony with the masculine and feminine energies. Regardless of your gender identity, the divine feminine is powerful to connect with, cultivate, and leverage as a source of ceartive energy.
Ep 106: Listen to your physical body
Our bodies carry so much information—energetically, physically, and emotionally—and can be our best ally in taking care of ourselves. Listening to yourself involves not only listening to your spirit, tuning into your intuition but also to your physical body.
Ep 105: Include and accept all parts of you
We all have shadows, traumas, pain, and fear that we can allow into our awareness, include in our healing and accept and integrate as part of our whole being. This is how we heal the collective—by including all parts of ourselves and allowing others to do the same—regardless of how uncomfortable it is. We must dive deep within ourselves and bring the parts we've been avoiding or afraid to see up to be accepted as part of us.
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.
Episode 100: Embrace all that is
Two years ago today, on my birthday, I gave birth to this podcast and we are celebrating episode 100! It feels like a lifetime. I've been reflecting on these last two years of podcasting and the year of isolation during the pandemic. In this episode, I talk about how when we embrace all that is—the ups, downs, pain, love, trauma, and triumphs—we can fully experience what it means to be human.
Episode 99: Cosmic dreaming
As we step deeper into Pisces season, it's the perfect time to spend more time connecting with our intuition, our emotional experience, and our dreams. From the subtle message we get in our dreams while we sleep to our big, cosmic dreams, there is so much to bring our attention to right now.
Episode 98: What does self-love look like for you?
In this episode, I talk about some of my self-love practices why it's so important, and how you can cultivate more love for the most important relationship in your life—the one you have with yourself!
Episode 97: Trust the flow of love
During this time, many of us are isolated and perhaps even depressed or anxious about everything happening in the world, but the truth is, we are literally never alone. The message has been coming to me so clearly lately that not only are we not alone, but we have legions of spirit beings ready and willing to help us as we evolve ourselves and humanity.
Episode 96: You are not alone
During this time, many of us are isolated and perhaps even depressed or anxious about everything happening in the world, but the truth is, we are literally never alone. The message has been coming to me so clearly lately that not only are we not alone, but we have legions of spirit beings ready and willing to help us as we evolve ourselves and humanity.
Episode 95: Examining our relationship with time
In this episode, I examine my relationship with time and contemplate how we can up-level how we perceive time by looking at it on a quantum level. The truth is that we are the ones defining time in our lives, so maybe we can loosen the constructs and allow more flow, ease, grace, and expansion for ourselves and others.
Episode 94: What are you broadcasting to the world
In this episode, I share a journaling practice I did that led to some profound truths and suggestions from my higher self and the collective consciousness. Not only are we not a prisoner to our minds, we can choose our thoughts and be very intentional about the thoughts we send to ourselves and the collective.
Episode 93: Realign and energize your life
We will continue to be required to call on our resilience and grit in these challenging times in the year to come, but now, we will be supported in taking more action towards our dreams. In this episode, I discuss some of the ways that I am doing some realignment in my life by observing what habits must go, what new ones to create, and share some of the tools and techniques I use to tune in. Last year was one of deep inward reflection and inquiry.
Episode 92: Discernment and letting your intuition guide you
Now, more than ever, is a time to use discernment in what information you choose to consume and propagate. It's a time to commit to self-reflection. As I say in the introduction to the podcast, in this age of information and misinformation, it's time to understand and interpret the world with your third eye.
