    Awareness Explorers episode 207: Tani Thole and Leslie Rogers, Guest Explorers

    In this episode we talk to Tani Thole and Leslie Rogers, founders of the Light Dark Institute, about their philosophy of integrating shadow work for spiritual growth, by bringing love to the most unloved parts of the self, which are the source of internal and external conflict.

    • Includes a guided meditation from Tani inviting you to explore some part of yourself that you struggle with or reject, to notice the drain on your life force as a result of rejecting this part, and to bring appreciation and gratitude for how this part is actually watching out for you.

    Tani Thole and Leslie Rogers are the founders of the Light Dark Institute, devoted to helping people fall in love with the parts of themselves and the world that they've most rejected. Their work weaves shadow exploration, embodied power play, and bold encounters with the raw, untamed places we usually turn away from. Known for making even the most challenging inner terrain feel safe and accessible, they support leaders and seekers alike to meet the darkness with love — and to live, lead, and relate from a place of wholeness.

  • 206: Preparation for Meditation
    Feb 13 2026

    In this episode, Jonathan and Brian debate the value of pre-meditation rituals for enhancing meditation. We outline several practices to enhance meditation, and we also contrast pre-meditation rituals to create deep experiences, versus viewing meditation as simply allowing "what is."

    • Includes a guided meditation helping you to transition from your busy day by breathing into any part of your body that is tense or contracted, and by putting aside any story going on in your head.

  • 205: Back to Basics with Ramana and Nisargadatta
    Jan 30 2026

    In this episode we review the core non-duality teachings of Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj, including their inquiries into the nature of the Self. These teachings have been among the most influential in the present-day satsang and nonduality movements in the West.

    • Includes a guided self-inquiry meditation to trace the "I" thought to its source as the knower of all experience, and to help the listener identify as pure, choiceless, allowing, loving awareness.


    A good place to get a feel for the teachings of both Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj is the YouTube channel, "Eternal Life | Non-Duality" from @EternalLife7, here:
