Getting Out Of The Way with Daniel Reznik | A Psychedelic Integration PodcastIn the "Meditative State Of Being" episode of the "Getting Out of the Way" podcast, host Daniel Reznik and guest Dov W. delve into the transformative power of meditation and spirituality, stressing the importance of integrating psychedelic experiences into broader communal conversations. They explore the shift in understanding G-d as an intrinsic presence rather than an external entity through personal experiences and teachings from Rabbi YY Jacobson and Rabbi Pinson. The discussion emphasizes the distinction between intellectual knowledge and experiential understanding, advocating for a meditative practice that prioritizes being present and embracing vulnerability over mere intellectual pursuits. Topics such as letting go of attachments, the detrimental effects of over-identifying with the intellect, and the healing potential of breath are examined, culminating in a holistic vision of meditation as a state of being that fosters connection with one's true self and a deeper awareness of the present moment. The conversation highlights the necessity of navigating internal narratives of separation to achieve inner peace and understanding, ultimately framing meditation as an ongoing journey towards realizing our intrinsic essence."We learn to unlearn to relearn.""Every moment is a gift; don't escape it.""Explore the mansion of your being."Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Conversation01:58 The Purpose of Recording Conversations03:44 Exploring Meditation and Inner Awareness05:54 Understanding Hasidism and Its Purpose08:20 The Role of Knowledge and Experience11:05 Experiential Knowledge vs. Intellectual Knowledge13:36 The Nature of Meditation15:37 Desires and the Illusion of Separation24:39 The Power of Letting Go27:08 Understanding Fear and the Unknown32:10 Living in the Present Moment34:36The Illusion of Control38:52 Meditation as Surrender43:08 The Mind as a Tool48:04 The Power of Letting Go48:27 Breath as a Tool for Awareness49:44 Decoupling from the Intellect51:09 The Physiology of Breathing54:33 Creating Space for Self-Correction56:13 The Illusion of Disconnection57:05 Observing the Mind from a Distance01:00:16 Integration of Soul and Body01:02:38 Exploring the Mansion of Awareness01:04:37 The Practice of PresenceThank you for Supporting This Podcast https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/sh..._______________________For booking inquiries email: [email protected]______________________Listen to the Getting Out Of The Way Podcast On:Apple Podcasthttps://apple.co/3ZtjTSaSpotifyhttp://bit.ly/3wxhwkR______________________Follow us on Social Media:Instagramhttp://bit.ly/3ZQr8VtFacebookhttp://bit.ly/3y7isNA______________________Produced By Jenny Reznik

Getting Out Of The Way with Daniel Reznik | A Psychedelic Integration Podcast  On this episode Daniel Reznik sits down with Ed Zaydelman, a wellness retreat advisor, to discuss using the various tools we pick up along our path which help us navigate life’s moments -- and family dinners!  Ed shares some of his personal story and highlights his past; when NYC party-life no longer provided meaning, Ed cut the cord and left NYC to find a higher expression of himself in Costa Rica. Working hard to set up a life there with the tools he used from his time in New York, Ed felt that he had to learn how to let go again and start over for a third time. This time he journeyed into the plant medicine world to find real truth and new tools for a new life. Ed currently helps people find, design, and build wellness retreats in Costa Rica as a meaningful way of giving back and sharing the gifts that were imparted on him through his journey into personal growth and wellbeing.  Daniel and Ed discuss healing the “wounded child” who felt like he was not good enough and the “fraudulent adult” who is loved by others but still feels alone. Through their conversation they highlight that transformation is our birthright, and that there are many tools to get us into the here-and-now where transformation is active and never ceasing. They also address plant medicine as a tool which is best used alongside other complimentary healing modalities like meditation, breathwork, exercising, etc., to reveal that we are our own healer.  Another take-away from this podcast is the power of healing through community, which Ed brings up through his ongoing work with his community at Leap Forward (https://leapforward.us/).  “If you think you’re enlightened, go spend a week with your family” – Ram Dass Subscribe to Ed's newsletter at https://www.livethepossibility.co/  _______________________ Thank you for Supporting This Podcast https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gettingoutoftheway/support _______________________ For booking inquiries email: [email protected] Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingOutOfTheWay ______________________ Listen to the Getting Out Of The Way Podcast On: Apple Podcast https://apple.co/3ZtjTSa Spotify http://bit.ly/3wxhwkR ______________________ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram http://bit.ly/3ZQr8Vt Facebook http://bit.ly/3y7isNA ______________________ Produced By Jenny Reznik ______________________ Chapters: Start - 00:00

Getting Out Of The Way with Daniel Reznik | A Psychedelic Integration Podcast In this episode titled "Spiritual Gravity: Bringing Light to the Darkness of our Traumas" Daniel emphasizes the importance of addressing and integrating emotional traumas rather than suppressing them and allowing them turn into monsters of our own making. Using the metaphor of spiritual gravity, Daniel suggests that holding onto physical, psychological, emotional, and/or spiritual baggage is like holding onto a physical object, making it harder for it to be released. Only when we stop gripping does nature run its course in removing said “object”. Daniel encourages letting go by loosening the mind’s grip using breath as a tool and trusting the universe to do it’s job in bringing up and transforming the traumas into valuable lessons which promote personal growth and ultimately, complete transformation. The core message is that facing discomfort and past traumas is essential for healing and compassionate self-care. By allowing any inner repressions (darkness) to rise up to our conscious mind (light) we reveal what is inside the container; Self-love and healing. _______________________ Thank you for Supporting This Podcast https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gettingoutoftheway/support _______________________ For booking inquiries email: [email protected] Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingOutOfTheWay ______________________ Listen to the Getting Out Of The Way Podcast On: Apple Podcast https://apple.co/3ZtjTSa Spotify http://bit.ly/3wxhwkR ______________________ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram http://bit.ly/3ZQr8Vt Facebook http://bit.ly/3y7isNA ______________________ Produced By Jenny Reznik Chapters: Start - 00:00 5:00 - Resist and It will persist 10:00 - Breath & Create Space 12:00 - The heart is designed to 18:00 - Spiritual gravity pulls upward

Getting Out Of The Way with Daniel Reznik | A Psychedelic Integration Podcast In this episode of Getting Out Of The Way we discuss the practical considerations that arise when engaging in "intergalactic tourism" and the importance of grounding, closing ceremonies, and recognizing one's own sickness before attempting to heal. Every time a person comes back from such “travels”, the word "human" takes on a very different meaning, requiring integration when back in default mode. This integration is necessary in order to address responsibilities and practical matters, as well as to prevent us from getting overwhelmed and disoriented, but it can be challenging as the experience exposes us to a vast and complex realm beyond our previous understanding. Our guest speaker also acknowledges the challenges of confronting existential questions that arise when facing the oneness of all things, and concludes by suggesting that culturally grounded practices and tools may be essential for a successful integration process. _______________________ Thank you for Supporting This Podcast https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gettingoutoftheway/support _______________________ For booking inquiries email: [email protected] Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingOutOfTheWay ______________________ Listen to the Getting Out Of The Way Podcast On: Apple Podcast https://apple.co/3ZtjTSa Spotify http://bit.ly/3wxhwkR ______________________ Follow us on Social Media: Instagram http://bit.ly/3ZQr8Vt Facebook http://bit.ly/3y7isNA ______________________ Produced By Jenny Reznik ______________________ Chapters: Start - 00:00 6:00 - Grounding post ceremony 7:35 - Duh the tree is alive 13:00 - Entanglement of energies 14:00- Beyond the 5 senses 17:00 - Western Illness
