Susan von Thunwww.thirdeyescience.com
In the Third Eye Science podcast, host 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. 199: Knowing when to rest and when to do

As we approach the winter solstice and the long nights/short days of winter, it is important to give yourself the time and space to go inward. Unfortunately, that doesn't often align with the busy holiday activities and modern cultural norms for this season. So, how do we know when to rest and when to create boundaries so we can rest and receive? We must practice tuning into the intuitive knowing and listen to that inner voice about what our body and soul need. Winter is a time of senescence, a ...

Ep. 198: Letting go of the stories we tell ourselves

We all have stories that we tell ourselves that are not contributing to our evolution as souls. Often, those stories aren't even ours—they are fears and limiting beliefs installed by collective or familial programming and conditioning. Now, more than ever, we are being invited to release those stories and be the true self that exists beneath all of that conditioning. In this episode, I share some ways that you can begin to observe and let go of the mind loops that just don't serve a purpose. Men...

Ep. 197: The Equinox, eclipse season, and preparing for a new chapter

Over the next couple of weeks, we are in a potent portal with two eclipses and the Autumn Equinox sandwiched in between. The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 17 marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Equinox invites us to tune into the harmony in nature and invite more balance into our lives. This is the perfect time to clear out the old habits, patterns, and energies no longer relevant to your expansion and call in the new. In this episode, I talk about this eclipse season and how you can ...

Ep. 196: Authenticity, childless cat ladies, and cultivating a strong foundation for your life

Whether you're feeling aligned and flowing with ease through life, or the challenges mounting feel like major obstacles, we all can benefit from knowing and expressing ourselves in a deep, authentic way. The intensity of August's astrology will not be letting up much in September as we enter eclipse season. In this episode, I discuss some of my recent observations about the collective and share the best way I know to create a strong and stable foundation for life. At this moment, the key is to r...

Ep. 195: Leo season, Mercury retrograde, and preparing for the tumult ahead

Leo season is one of my favorite times of the year. It's a time to step into your courage, leadership, and heart and let your authentic light shine. This year, Mercury retrograde coincides with it, but do not fear! This retrograde is inviting us to review and tune into how we communicate, learn, and inform ourselves, along with editing the details of daily schedules and to-do lists. It's the perfect time to curate our lives—which behaviors, routines, and people are nourishing us and which are no...

Ep. 194: Summer astrology, nourishing self care, discipline, and cultivating invincibility

As the turbulence of the world continues, it's more important than ever to cultivate discipline and intuitive knowing to nourish and support our body, mind, and soul. In this episode, I highlight a few of the significant astrological energies happening in July and August to keep an eye on and be ready for. When we balance disciplined self-care practices for our physical, emotional, and mental well-being with nourishment and rest, we cultivate an invincible field, a force of love and good in the ...

Ep 193: How to leverage the Solstice energies

This week's Solstice is an opportunity to level up your daily practice, your self-awareness, and your inner fire. This week is a great time to tune in to your Self and allow the solar force to empower your connection to—and alignment with—the Cosmic flow. In this episode, I share some recent experiences that helped me see how my daily practice has allowed me to tap into that flow and navigate the chaos of the world and the challenges of our human experience. Mentioned in this episode: Subagh kri...

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. Mentioned in this episode: Join us for Sat Devbir's Vagal Toning class series . My upcoming offerings: My mission is to help others find balance between th...

Ep 191: Your devotion to your inner work becomes devotion to everyone

Inner work may feel 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 ...

Ep 190: Are you taking inspired, aligned action? Start with one small step!

Are you moving through life with intention, or are you on autopilot? Hopefully, you have a few long-term goals that will allow you to feel fulfilled and living in your purpose. Or maybe you have a big dream that you don't quite know how to realize. The key to creating that new reality is to take one small, aligned action each day. Eventually, they'll add up to your dream. You have to commit to those small actions. Otherwise, it's easy to give up. In this episode, I talk about some ways to start ...

Ep.189: Slow down, be present, and navigate the intensity with more ease

The spring Aries energies may make you feel like you have to rush to do things and make things happen. But this year, we have an eclipse season and Mercury retrograde coming together in April. This means that slowing down, listening deeply, and being present in as many moments as possible will help you navigate the intensity of the cosmic alignments. In this episode, I share some ways you can bring more intention and awareness into your everyday life as we transit through the current space weath...

Ep 188: Go with the flow, even when you don’t know where you’re headed

We must balance our actions with full surrender to make our dreams a reality. This process empowers us, allowing us to find harmony and fulfillment when we walk this line between completely relaxing to receive and taking definitive action. Through practices like meditation and journaling, you learn to listen deeply to your inner guidance. Then, you know exactly what aligned actions to take and when and when to pause and allow the alignment to find you. In this episode, I share my thoughts on thi...

Ep 187: Pisces season encourages you to feel your feelings!

Pisces season! Feel! Cry! Laugh! And cry again! I’m only sort of kidding. It’s that time of year again when the watery, all-encompassing emotional states of being are not only expected—but encouraged. We are emotional beings living in a culture that conditions us to suppress and numb our feelings. But doing so stunts growth and can even cause disease. In this episode, I share some of the ways we can encourage our emotions to come out in healthy, supportive ways. Your emotions are NOT something t...

Ep 186: Align with your future self

Now is the perfect time to tune into where you're headed and who you're becoming. Maybe you can envision yourself in a new job, relationship, new community, or strength, healthy body. New Year's resolutions rarely work because getting from here to there can feel overwhelming and overly ambitious. But if you spend some time visualizing and connecting with your future self, you can get a clear idea of who you want to be and then ask yourself what skills, behaviors, or actions that person would nee...

This is my annual year-end pep talk encouraging you to make space to sit quietly with yourself this holiday season! Yes, I'm sure you are busy.

Ep 182: Finding Peace in Chaos and Conflict

While the chaos and conflict in the world continue, it is more important than ever to create stability and security in your own field. From this place of calm, neutral balance, and peace within, we can have a tremendous impact on the collective. I'm not talking about spiritual bypass—meditating our way out of real-world atrocities—but about that deep inner work that includes being honest with yourself about how you create resistance and struggle for yourself. Whether you feel called to speak out...

Ep 181: The Space Between

Have you ever felt like you are in between who you were and who you are meant to become? That liminal space is a moment in your spiritual evolution to be revered, not ignored! It is an invitation to pause, contemplate, and surrender to the flow of the Cosmos. The death and rebirth cycle is a critical process to embrace. It happens on time scales from moments to days to years. In our world filled with distractions and noise, it is so important to allow yourself to be nourished by this sacred paus...

Ep 180: Create space in your life to allow your true essence emerge

It's easy to be swept up by our busy lives and all the external things competing for our attention. When we create a little space each day to be quiet and detach from the barrage of distractions, we open up to our true essence. Then, our inner guidance, creativity, and messages from the ether realms become more prominent. Meditation, journaling, and time in nature are just a few of the ways to turn our attention inward and allow for a more profound connection to emerge. My upcoming offerings: Jo...

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 into the morphogenic collective field. We can do simple things, such as ...

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 ...

The world around us is not transforming on the time scale that makes our lives easier. But we can create—and believe in—a refuge within. In this episode, I share some ways to create a refuge of peace and prosperity for yourself. You can invite this energy into your life in simple yet profound ways. We can create a space where we believe all the magic, miracles, love, and peace are available. Each day, if you create a container—a reminder—for yourself, you begin to transform your inner world.

Ep. 176: Embracing our differences

As humanity continues to evolve and learn from the past, more and more people identify in ways that are "different" from the traditional norm. But what if we look at these beautiful ways that make people unique as strengths? What if we saw neurodivergence as a natural progression of how humans are able to sense the world and connect in new ways? In this episode, I contemplate some of these concepts and invite you to take a wider perspective on our differences. Let's embrace the diverse ways we c...

Whether you're an introvert or an extrovert, we all receive benefits from engaging in community. As we connect with other human beings, our own gifts are amplified through that heart connection.

Maybe it will help inspire you to join a community or start to cultivate your own! My upcoming offerings: Join me on Thursda...

The nodes have shifted to Aries and Libra, calling for collective harmony between the self and others.

There's lots of information out there about how we can take care of the body and connect with our spiritual Self, but I've noticed that not many people are talking about how we can nourish both the body and soul. In this episode, share some of the ways to connect with your Soul and be fully embodied at the same time. When we listen to what our bodies need—move and find stillness when our intuitive guidance tells us it aligns—we can truly be ourselves. That is what your Soul intended for this lif...

As we navigate this tumultuous life we signed up for, it's easy to get distracted by the daily grind. But what if you could acknowledge and be delighted by the everyday magic in your life? What if you could allow the sight of a laughing child, an adorable rescue kitten, or the sunlight through trees to remind you to be present?

Are there aspects of you that you are not acknowledging and allowing to be a part of you? Many of us are disembodied, which at some point, was a very clever way of protecting ourselves. But what if you could invite all that you are into your being and allow all that you are to be exactly as it is and allow all that everyone else is to be exactly as they are? Does that sound scary? Crazy? Out there? In this episode, I share experiences and contemplations I've had around the ideas of embodying all...
