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 169: How can we unleash ourselves and be guided by our bodies?

There are many patterns, habits, and even thought forms that we've become so accustomed to that we think there's no way to change them. But if you commit to asking yourself "Is this mine?" and asking your body "What would be supportive and empowering to you?", you can begin to shift and deprogram quite quickly. There are many ways to tune into your body and listen. In this episode, I explain some of the ways I'm exploring communicating with my body and energy field. I share some of my experience...

Ep. 168: Embody your wisdom and transform on a cellular level

You've probably heard the word embodiment thrown around in wellness circles. But have you thought about what that REALLY means? In this episode, I share some of the insights that I've had recently around embodiment and how we can all ground my intuitive wisdom into my body and energy field on a cellular and molecular level. We're living in intense, transformative times on planet Earth and it's time to BECOME our true selves by embodying our Soul's wisdom with our whole selves . Mentioned in this...

Ep. 167: Unsubscribing to the programming and remembering your Self

We're all exposed to programming throughout our lives, from parents, extended family, society, teachers, and even our friends. Deprogramming is pivotal to our spiritual journey to remember who we truly are. There are many techniques that can help us unsubscribe, unfollow, or unlike this programming. In this episode, I share thoughts on one obvious and uncomplicated tool that can be incredibly powerful (if we devote ourselves to it) is the simplest of all: presence. When we dedicate ourselves to ...

Ep 134: Are your limiting beliefs even yours?

We've all had limiting beliefs about what's possible in our lives. Have you bought into ideas about wealth, happiness, work, health, love, relationships, and ease that aren't really yours? We arrive in this human form as a perfect, limitless soul in a beautiful baby body. But over time, we start to accumulate ideas, judgments, and perspectives from the people around us. Our parents, extended family, community, and culture begin to install programs about how the world works and how our lives can ...

Ep 165: You don't have to do it alone

As I integrate the tremendous energy from the retreat I co-created last weekend with a group of women, I have been reflecting on the invitation that we are all presented with right now: collaboration as a way of life. Last week, with the transit of Pluto into Aquarius, we are being called to co-create in all aspects of our lives—from the mundane to the magical! Not only do we not have to do anything alone, but we also aren't meant to. It's time to move from me to we and embrace the gifts of othe...

Ep. 164: Flowing with the intuitive, dreamy waters of Pisces Season

When we enter new astrological signs, there is a palpable energetic shift. This week, the sun entered Pisces and we had the new moon in Pisces. As a Pisces, the shift was more dramatic than I’ve ever noticed before. Whether you have any planets in Pisces or not, it will help you navigate these dream, intuitive waters if you align with this energy in a few simple ways. In this episode, I share my experience of living as an emotional, sensative being and give you some actions you can take to go wi...

Ep. 163: Expanding and evolving through generosity

Generosity is an incredible tool for expansion and growth. We can shift our energetic field—along with the recipients of our generosity—when we give unconditionally. We can also practice techniques to expand the heart and naturally become generous. It's a circular energy that amplifies in all directions. In this episode, I explore how you can engage with generosity to evolve spiritually and uplift the collective energy on the planet. I've found it to be a simple, yet profound awareness that I've...

Ep 162: How can we more fully surrender to what is?

As we navigate challenging moments, how can we accept what is and bring more ease into the moment? In this week's episode of the Third Eye Science podcast, I share more about that process of surrender and the truth that I’ve embraced—it’s not happening to you it’s happening for you.⁠ Maybe you, like me, had a rough start to 2023. My plans for holiday travel and intentional ringing in the new year didn’t turn out exactly as I’d hoped. But as I navigated horrendous travel delays, a terrible cold, ...

Ep 161: How to ring in an intentional, conscious new year

Instead of getting wrapped up in the holiday frenzy, social expectations, and over-eating and drinking as we end the year, let’s pause, reflect, and step into the new year with intention, conscious connection, and grace! In this episode, I share some of my favorite ways to acknowledge these sacred times, from the winter solstice through the new year. Give yourself the time you need to connect with yourself and listen to what you want to create in the coming year. Happy holidays and thank you for...

Ep 160: Three superpowers that will help get you through the holiday season

As we enter into the month-and-a-half-long holiday season, many people feel stress, anxiety, and pressure to do all the things. In this episode, I share three “superpowers" that you— as a conscious being in this human experience—can employ to support you to not only get through but enjoy this holiday season. These are simple tools that, when practiced with intention and patience, can help you navigate the family drama, expectations, and pressure to be everywhere and everything to all of your lov...

Ep 159: Ease through transformation

Scorpio season, eclipse season, heck, these last three years, have been intense and tumultuous. How can we bring more ease into these transformative times? We can acknowledge our feelings, shadows, and needs and be grateful for the growth. Observing and embracing all parts of yourself allows you to be gentle and compassionate with yourself. This month is a time for inward exploration. Allow your depths to reveal what needs attention. When you’ve given yourself what you need to function—and even ...

Ep 158: Nourishing yourself through connection and community

As we emerge from the cocoon we’ve been in for the last few years, we may be connecting with people in person again in new ways. In this episode, I talk about how connection and immersion in community is so important for nourishing yourself. Finding people who see you for who you are—in your new evolution—is critical to feeling accepted, seen, and acknowledged. Your gifts are unique and play a crucial part in collective growth. Connecting regularly with people one-on-one and in supportive groups...

Ep 157: Trust yourself

As we strengthen our intuitive gifts, we often go through a process of self-doubt and unease. This is part of our primal need for safety and is amplified by our cultural conditioning to stick to the known path. But as we listen more deeply to our intuition, we must also strengthen our trust muscle. In this episode, I discuss a few recent experiences that tested my confidence in my intuition and share some tips for deepening trust in yourself. One way to enhance your inner knowing is to start sma...

Ep 156: Are you addicted to being busy?

How many times have your heard these words this week, or even said them yourself: I’m so busy. Or I don’t have time for that. I get it. We all juggle many aspects of life—work, family, study, social life, spiritual practices, exercise, and other healthy habits. This week on the podcast, I invite you to contemplate something that I am deep in exploration with—am I busy, or am I just addicted to being busy? Our culture rewards and expects us all to hustle, work hard, and struggle to be successful....

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 th...

Ep 154: Working with Oracle Cards to Connect with your Intuition

Oracle card decks are a beautiful tool to work with when seeking spiritual guidance—whether you are new to connecting with your intuition and spirit guides or have been doing so for years! In this episode, I share why I love them, how I work with them, and give you some inspiration on how you might engage with them in a new way. Just like your spiritual journey, this process has no right or wrong. Find a deck that you resonate with, and start playing! You never know what wisdom it will awaken wi...

Ep 153: Embrace the process—there is no RIGHT way to evolve

If you are here, absorbing what I put into the world, you are actively engaged with your spiritual journey. The truth is, everyone is on a spiritual journey, but YOU are intentional about self-inquiry, self-awareness, and the process of your evolution. People often look to others for answers when they first awaken to the idea that there's more to life than what we've been told. But here's the thing, no one can tell you how, what, when, or where you should be doing this because there is no RIGHT ...

Ep. 152: Experience the simple beauty around you

One of the most powerful ways we can truly be present is to acknowledge and experience the simple beauty around us. From the color of the sky and the trees to a sweet conversation with a stranger, we can relish these moments and allow them to uplift us. You may be surprised how much the simple things in life can open your heart, expand your energy, and create more joy for yourself and others. My upcoming offerings: Join Eve Hansra, Aelah Sophia, and me in a 3-day series of quantum activation of ...

Ep 151: When you know who you are you know what to do.

Here we are, more bad news in the world and more chaos. Like many people, I'm heartbroken and disappointed in our government for failing to uphold basic human rights. And yet, I believe that we are on the curs of great transformation. While it feels like one step forward and two steps back, I do think this is a moment in our history where future generations will point to the awakening of the divine feminine within all of us. I believe that we each came here, in this incarnation, to help uplift h...

Ep 150: What energizes you?

Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions and doing things you "have to" do when and how you've always done them? I do and I recently got some advice from a trusted mentor to ask myself in those moments: What energizes me? Maybe there's another time or way to do that thing you have to do that could be more energizing. I've been following this guidance over the last few weeks and have found that it is incredibly empowering. At times I decided to stop what I'm doing and go for a ...

Ep 149: Your Words Create Your Reality

Words and thoughts are things. They make real your inner vibration. Now that we are in Gemini season, we are invited to communicate consciously and intentionally. Become even more intentional about our words and even our meta dialong–the mindstream or thoughts we engage with all day long. Mantra practice is an incredibly effective way to elevate our words. It can be a traditional mantra chanted by yogis and monks for thousands of years, but it doesn't have to be. You can create a mantra that is ...

Ep 148: What would your life look like if you prioritized your Soul?

There is so much competition for our time and energy, and often, those external demands take over the majority of life. But what would happen if you determined what YOU need to do to fulfill your Soul and prioritize THAT over all other things (or at least made more time for it)? This will look different for every person. From taking care of your body as a vessel for the Soul to listening deeply in meditation and silence, there are many ways we can do this. I can't answer what it would look like ...

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, creat...

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. Mother Earth is our home and no matter where you are—in the northern or southern hemisphere, on a Pacific island, or in the middle of the Sahara Desert—your feet are connecting to the same 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 spir...

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. When we attract the energy we need, we have so ...

TES 144: How can we respond with intention instead of reacting in the moment?

Many of us are constantly reacting to the world around us. We get triggered by something and let the defensive comeback fly. Something happens, and you have to take control. But how can we respond to the people and situations around us with intention, grace, and clarity? To me, the first step is to pause. You get an email at work asking you to do something that isn't in your job description, or telling you that something is happening when they should have consulted you and your team first. What ...

Ep 143: Practicing Radical Honesty

There are many ways in which we are not honest with ourselves or others. On any given day, you may find yourself holding back the truth in simple ways like saying you're fine when you aren't or more complex ways like hiding an emotional truth from loved ones or even yourself. I'm embarking on a commitment to be radically honest—with myself and others. This doesn't mean that I'm going to just say everything to everyone that comes to my mind. Discernment is a key component! Sometimes, not saying a...

Ep 142: Connecting with Compassion & Joy

It's important to acknowledge and feel compassion for the people suffering in the world right now. But it is also critical to continue to connect with joy and love, despite the suffering. While conflicts and natural disasters may not impact you directly on a personal level, they lead to deep collective sadness, pain, and fear. During these times, I believe it is even MORE important to make sure you cultivate joy, happiness, love, and the ability to see the magic in small or even big life moments...

Ep 141: The power of hope, intention, and prayer

Despite the conflicts in the world, now is the time to plant the seed of hope and fertilize it with clear intentions for yourself and the collective. The world may feel like an overwhelmingly tragic place to be right now. But I believe that together we have the power to transform the world. We can all cultivate a spark of love and high-frequency light within our hearts and allow it to flourish with the power of intention, prayer, and the belief that miracles not only can—but will—happen. The mor...

As we continue to experience the intensity of tumult and transformation in ourselves and the world at large, it is more important than ever that we create a stable foundation within our bodies and energetic field. When you engage in a daily spiritual practice—which can be as simple or complex as you choose—you regulate your nervous system, balance your emotional and physical bodies, and elevate your energy. As you do this, you become more of your true self and you give other people permission to...
