Today, Michael welcomes Dr. Shai Tubali. Shai blends academic philosophy and mysticism to explore the transformative power of expanded consciousness. Integrating Eastern and Western philosophies, Shai offers comprehensive insights into the nature and potential of consciousness. He holds a PhD in religion from the University of Leeds and is also a research fellow at its Arts and Humanities Research Institute. Since 2000, Shai has guided workshops, retreats, and professional trainings. His passion has led him to the creation of several original methods for psychological transformation, including the medically-researched Expansion Method.

Highlights from Michael and Shai’s rich conversation include:

-How Shai’s academic religious studies left him unfulfilled, sparking him to travel to India to take a deeper inner journey which initiated a series of spiritual awakenings and experiences around Universal Love and unity consciousness that ultimately transformed his approach to his academic work

-The difference between collective consciousness and thinking

-Explaining how technology, particularly social media and AI, can challenge or potentially expand our own understanding of individual and collective consciousness 

-The benefits of shifting from ‘Mental Rigidity’–the entrenchment of fixed identities, unchanging narratives, and absolute perspectives–to ‘Mental Fluidity’, which allows people to move past the “us vs. them” divisiveness that’s rife in social and political discussions, especially online

-How consciousness expansion can heal collective trauma on a societal and global scale

-Shai’s techniques for healing deep trauma through exploring our power to realize that we are bigger than our past pain, memories, and life experiences

-The Expansion Method and how it liberates us from limitations and to see life from a place of possibility; why healing trauma requires us to tap into our “heart-power”; Shai’s free 7-day challenge, “Your Guide to Expanded Consciousness”; and so much more! 

Next, Michael leads a guided meditation to expand and perfect our loving and compassion.
