Dr. Rachel asks Dr. Mike to define consciousness and ego as he understands it. He shares his expertise of buddhist dharma, western psychology, noetic sciences, and nonduality. 

Dr. Mike discusses his own experience of consciousness, what the mystical traditions say, clinical use of psychedelics, and modern scientific strides.  He shares about his clinical work and how he supports his patients wake up to themselves and their lives.  

We talk everything from traditional western psychology, neurobiology, noetic sciences and various branches of yogic/Indian philosophy.

Buckle up, settle in, and prepare to expand your mind.

My intention is to create a safe place on social media where people can be themselves, offer each other kindness, develop authenticity, learn how to be mindful, experience anxiety and stress relief, do incredible and unapologetic acts of self-love and self-care, and inspire one another to be our best selves.
