The Shiatsu Guy Presents… Podcast – End of Season One

This post got forgotten somehow, it’s been sitting all alone in my draft folder for quite some time, but it’s still relevant… I’ve put the podcast on hold for a while to work on other areas of my life… I’m not quite ready to start Season 2 yet but it’s getting closer… I’m building a list of names and having a few conversations too…

The Shiatsu Guy Presents... Podcast - health wellness podcast

So this episode signals the end of Season 1

It’s been a great experience running the podcast so far and I’m keen to continue, but there are some ‘life’ things that need to be attended to right now…

Please listen to the episode where I try to explain what the state of play is and why I am taking a step back… As well as looking to the future for Season 2 and beyond… I’m interested in going to the next level with the podcast but in order to do that I really need to know what you want to hear!

So dear listeners, please do send a message with your thoughts and suggestions to podcast@theshiatsuguy.com or if you’d prefer to leave an anon comment then you can visit our feedback page.

There will be more to come in the future… At the very least an update on new developments and direction will come in the next few weeks to a month…

The Shiatsu Guy Presents… Jody Patterson – Mystic Dance, Hip Hop and Enlightenment

The Shiatsu Guy Presents podcast - Jody Paterson In episode Twelve of the podcast, Simon your host, interviews his friend Jody Patterson, about his experiences of discovering the mystical aspects of life, to discovering his spiritual teacher and joining a spiritual community.

Jody talks about his early spiritual experiences through dance, being drawn to a path of enlightenment, and life within a post-modern spiritual community, with very traditional overtones.

Jody speaks about his time of becoming a formal student of Andrew Cohen’s Evolutionary Enlightenment and becoming celibate…

We explore some of the conflicts within the community, from the traditional basis to the the issues with hierarchy and superiority.

We also look into the mess that some Western Gurus have left in their wake… and the impending responsibility of Jody’s imminent fatherhood…

This episode is a kind of Companion episode to Marc Pell’s interview, episode 005 – and if you’re interested could be the foundation to a ‘trialogue’ between Marc, Jody and myself…

The Shiatsu Guy Presents… The Untethered Soul, Forgiveness and Heartmath

This is the first Mini-Episode or as Mr Tim Ferriss (my podcasting hero!) calls them, Inbetweenisode!

The intention was to produce a short (20-30 minute) bite-sized episode featuring me presenting some of my thoughts and ideas that I felt would be helpful or useful for my listeners…

In this case we’ve got around 50 minutes of me rambling… But I hope you find it interesting and/or useful… I tried to keep to a set of notes, so imagine how it could have gone without!

This is based around my experience of being involved with a spiritual community, the disillusionment that occurred when the teacher was de-throned (I must watch too much Game of Thrones!), and my journey out the other side…

In this, at times ranty, episode I share my experience of three ‘heart-centred’ techniques that have helped me on my journey and I believe would help any human-being on this earth!

I’ll put links to resources below so you can find them yourselves…

And I wanted to share a quote that made me laugh when I listened back to the recording

There were a lot of broken eggs in the omelette that Andrew made

Now you’ll have to listen to work out what the heck I’m on about! 😉

The Shiatsu Guy Presents… Fernando Cabo – Namikoshi Shiatsu and Research Projects

In episode Seven of the Shiatsu Guy Presents… podcast I interview Shiatsu therapist and Teacher at the Professional Shiatsu School, Fernando Cabo.

This is the longest episode to date, and follows the increasingly familiar rambling style of the other episodes, meandering through a range of topics including the differences between Namikoshi Shiatsu and Zen or Masunaga Shiatsu, as well as the lack of research across the field of Shiatsu and what is starting to be done about it…

The Shiatsu Guy Presents… Marc Pell – Life after a Spiritual Guru and Spiritual Community

In episode six of the Shiatsu Guy Presents… podcast I interview my friend Marc Pell about his experience of living in a Spiritual community for a number of years, in what was essentially a social and spiritual experiment attempting to create a new enlightened culture of connectedness and individuality.

The whole international community came tumbling down when the leader, Andrew Cohen, was deposed by his senior students when they took issue with the way he was conducting himself and running the community.

In this interview we delve into what the initial attraction was to becoming involved with a spiritual community, the benefits and drawbacks as well as where it all went wrong for Andrew Cohen and EnlightenNext

I hope that you enjoy this episode as much as I did. This is the first of several episodes in this area, with a part 2 from Marc coming up and another interview in the works for a different perspective on the situation…
