The Wu Wei Wisdom Podcast is a weekly conversation about life challenges and life lessons, emotional and spiritual health issues, and tools to help you live in effortless flow - ‘wu wei’.

The ancient Taoist principle of wu wei is little understood in the West, and we believe it’s the secret to health and happiness in modern life!

Your hosts are David James Lees, an ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher and consultant, and Alexandra Lees, a mindset and business coach.

If you are suffering from emotional pain, stress or depression; struggling with self-criticism or self-doubt; seeking a more satisfying life balance, relationships or career; or searching for a deeper sense of meaning and fulfilment in your life - you are not alone.

We want to help you better understand yourself, regain control of your mind, body, and emotions, and inspire you to reconnect with your true self and purpose.

Each episode blends spiritual and philosophical ideas and insight with our real-life professional experience supporting clients worldwide.

New episodes every Saturday.

  • Why You Get Triggered So Easily (It’s Not Overreaction — It’s Your Inner Child)

    Why You Get Triggered So Easily (It’s Not Overreaction — It’s Your Inner Child)
    Apr 10 2026

    You’re not “too sensitive” — your nervous system is reacting to the past, not the present. Learn why you get emotionally triggered so easily, even in small, everyday situations.

    This is part 2 of a powerful 4-part Inner Child series for 2026.

    In this episode, you’ll discover what’s really happening in the moment you feel overwhelmed, reactive, or out of control… and why it’s not a flaw or weakness.

    We explore the psychology of emotional triggers through the lens of Inner Child work, nervous system activation, and Taoist wisdom. You’ll learn how your mind stores past experiences as emotional memory, why your Inner Child reacts before logic kicks in, and how common situations like feeling ignored, criticised, or misunderstood can activate old patterns.

    Most importantly, you’ll understand why trying to “calm down”, suppress your feelings, or think logically often makes triggers worse — and what to do instead. This is not about fixing yourself. It’s about seeing clearly. This awareness is the first step to healing your Inner Child and creating emotional balance and ease in your daily life.

    Watch part 1 here: https://youtu.be/FY0EMmLfiDw?si=vTqAAqPGWAcsgHFx

    In part 3: How to heal your Inner Child through reparenting.

    With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).

  • Why We Repeat the Same Mistakes (Even When We Know Better) | Tao Dialogues

    Why We Repeat the Same Mistakes (Even When We Know Better) | Tao Dialogues
    Apr 3 2026

    Discover why you keep repeating the same mistakes, and how to break the cycle without pain.

    In this Tao Dialogues episode, we explore the deeper Taoist wisdom behind repeated patterns, emotional conditioning, and the Inner Child’s influence on our decisions.

    Discover how emotional logic, unconscious beliefs, and the need to be right keep us stuck in cycles of frustration, self-sabotage, and repeated outcomes. Learn the difference between the reactive Inner Child and the calm, clear guidance of Shen (your inner knowing), and how this shift allows you to grow without suffering.

    This teaching reveals why wisdom is not proven through pain, but recognised through truth, and how aligning with wu wei (effortless effort) helps you break free from old patterns with clarity, calm, and authenticity.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck in repeating relationship patterns, work struggles, or self-sabotaging behaviours, this teaching will show you a new way forward.

  • Meet Your Inner Child | Guided Meditation for Inner Child Connection

    Meet Your Inner Child | Guided Meditation for Inner Child Connection
    Mar 27 2026

    A calming meditation to help you reconnect with your Inner Child and discover clarity and self-compassion through gentle awareness - with Taoist monk and teacher, David James Lees.

    In this guided meditation, you will learn how to gently reconnect with your Inner Child through awareness, self-compassion, and the principles of wu wei (effortless effort).

    This calming meditation helps you recognise how childhood patterns still influence your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours today, without judgement or force. Rather than trying to “fix” yourself, this meditation invites you to observe your inner world with clarity, creating space between you and old emotional patterns.

    Through breath, reflection, and visualisation, you’ll begin to understand how your Inner Child adapted for safety, and how awareness can naturally bring healing. The meditation is perfect for daily practice, stress relief, and anyone exploring Inner Child healing, self-awareness, mindfulness, and emotional well-being.

If you can be receptive and open to this meditation, you will have one of a kind experience. I was able to connect and recognize the child and parent relationship within me. It was truly a healing experience.

A very healing meditation

Terrible and horrible pop psychology and manipulative NLP techniques. It's neither taoist, nor psychology, and governed by neither. This man claims to be an ordained taoist priest from China after having lived there for many years, to have played professional soccer, to have been an executive, to have met world leading celebrities etc. but there is no evidence of any of this anywhere and he never states where exactly either, So i think his claims merit detailed scrutiny and investigation because they are entirely unverifiable and need to be verified. They provide enough information in their videos, which are basically advertisements that resonate with your personal experiences, to draw you in but then provide few specifics other than a highly mainpulative and flawed model based on circular reasoning that I found to be laughable. It's as follows.
1. things are like this (without any proof). 2. therefore things are like this. The aim is to get you to spend tens of thousands of dollars @ over $400 per hour for individual sessions. I know because I paid tens of thousands of dollars and at the end of it found it utterly useless. Don't waste your money. Why do you think you've never heard of them?

Pop psychology
