Death

I would love to hear an episode on all things death-related. I wonder if you have science or wisdom to offer that isn't commonly spoken about, as the topic seems to be largely ignored in my experience. (Or even a discussion about why humans live as though we will never die?)

Mental, emotional, physical, spiritual effects of family estrangement

What are the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual effects of family estrangement? After a lifetime of abuse, I was forced to separate permanently from my family of origin as well as extended family and any friends of the family. The complexity of the grief continues to baffle me and I feel something more biological is at play. I know this experience is a lot more common than spoken about and I wonder how adults learn to live and fully heal. Thank you.

Blue Mind/Wallace J Nichols

Have you heard of the book "Blue Mind: The surprising science that shows how being near, in, on, or under water can make you happier, healthier, more connected, and better at what you do"? The author, Wallace J Nichols, describes Blue Mind as "a mildly meditative state characterized by calm, peacefulness, unity, and a sense of general happiness and satisfaction with life in the moment"

Is the ayahuasca experience worth the risk?

I believe if I had the opportunity to do ayahuasca it might have the potential to afford me a much better life than the prison I sometimes feel I live in mentally. However, I have never done any drugs (or alcohol) and I'm not sure I could physically get myself to do it because of fear. Do you think the risks of this experience outweigh the potential upside? Thank you.

myopic macular degeneration

You’ve advised to avoid bright light and protect eyes with NV AMD, but then how are we to use light for circadian correction? what kind of corrective lenses should we wear outside that will both protect and yet allow the right light spectrum for good sleep?
