Insights at the Edge Audio Podcasts by Sounds True
Simon has generated a cache of provocative and informative interviews with mind-body-spirit experts from around the globe.
Entitled Insights at the Edge, the free-of-charge audio podcasts and text transcripts reveal Simon's interest in probing the minds and psyches of world-renowned spiritual leaders. She claims, "... it is a time when I get to be in a state of full sensitivity and receptivity ..."
Topics like "the conversational nature of reality" with poet David Whyte and "fluid power" with vinyasa-flow yoga teacher Shiva Rea are woven throughout Simon's illuminating interviews.
Partial Transcript of Tami Simon's Interview with Dr. Judith Orloff
In July 2009, Simon spoke with psychiatrist and author Dr. Judith Orloff about emotional freedom. The following is an excerpt from the interview (reprinted with permission from Sounds True):
Tami Simon: ..."Are there emotions that are 'negative'?"
Judith Orloff: ..."There are emotions such as fear and anger and worry and anxiety. It's negative in the sense that they can detract from health and well-being and clarity. And if you build those emotions up over a period of years it will create some toxicity in your body and cause you to age in a very destructive way. That's what I mean by negative."
But I'm presenting in "Emotional Freedom," all emotions as a path to spiritual awakening and that emotions are energy. It's just like there's a yin and a yang; there's a positive and a negative charge.
I don't mean negative in a judgmental way. I mean negative as an opportunity to be able to transform what is dark within us into something lighter, not by repressing, suppressing, not noticing the emotions, but by noticing the emotions and then working with that energy--which can turn against you if it builds up in your body--to create something more positive, such as transforming fear with courage; transforming anger with compassion.
