Ep. 30 – “Role of Man”

Zooming in the Lens — Fri, 05 Aug 2016 01:49:18 +0000

village elder, initiation from boy to man

Do we truly see men today? Do men today see themselves? Are man in THIER truth, or is the pull too strong to be sociates man, informing what they should and shouldn’t be? The village mentality for the most part has slipped away in our culture and was replaced with an experience in isolation since the industrial revolution took elder men from the home to work (or nearby). Without these seen and unseen male initiations at the forefront, what is rising a boy to become a man? It may be youtube and corporations raising men today. Related or not, do men today cultivate and pass on the conscious male relationship? The work of Robert Bly claims that men in our culture suffer from this lack, by unconsciously carrying and passing on a “deep shock.” In episode 30, hear from two men (Tommy Stewart and Adam Elzarou) who join Katrina to ponder how men today are supposed to learn to be men. Is today’s man thriving or struggleing from lack of village elders? “Something has to die to be born and what will have to die is the boy.”

Imprecise storytelling – “kids say the most **** things” w/ Frog 11-yrs old

Zooming in the Lens — Wed, 27 Jul 2016 20:55:58 +0000

WARNING: Have you SPOKEN to an 11-year old boy in 2016? If not, you may want to skip the first 20 minutes! Our guest is 11-yr old “FROG” again, who first assumes the role of shock-jock, dropping bombs on sex, suicide, porn and some curse words (trust me, his parents are taking care of it!) Nevertheless, things HAVE changed since we were kids! This is our version of “Kids say the most ****** ** things!”
Frog has great parents but does struggle with labels like ADHD and behavioral issues. Just as we picked our jaw off the floor, this wise and curious, existential FROG appeared…grab your sense of humor and a notepad as this 11-year old, explains “how life is a mystery – God gives us a choice at the end of life to be a ghost or reincarnate (did you know being a ghost is an actual JOB?) He ponders death, mediums – “coincidence or connected?” How “God is in EVERYTHING,” and “what if Jesus isn’t God’s son but just a really nice guy in a long white robe?” He shares how ”Life is a game and death is an amazing thing, I can’t wait to see everybody”… okay, enough teasers ya’ll. Get off social media right now and step into the curious mind of the philosopher, FROG.

Imprecise storytelling – “God might have ADHD” by Frog Pellegrino (11-yrs old)

Zooming in the Lens — Tue, 12 Jul 2016 03:56:13 +0000

Get ready to hear parenting advice from an 11-year old – Donovan “Frog” Pellegrino is his name! Frog was labeled early on with ADHD and behavioral issues. We are all aware there is no handbook for parenting. Even if there were, I wouldn’t follow it. We each express differently in life, with and without diagnosed issues. Each physiological model can show us what it’s “like” to have these labels but we may also feel separeted from others. Perhaps if we look at diagnosis from the lens of “what it’s like” and not “what it IS,” we can create some space for parents to guide each child & not the statistic. Most of the accountings frog will share are not totally accurate (lol) – he has very loving parents – but this opportunity to practice was a gift to us. It was remarkable to witness a child who is given the opportunity to feel seen and heard. We learned a lot and are recording another one too! Questions for Frog? Send them ASAP to Zitlcourse@gmail.com ! Thank you frogs mom, and to frog for allowing this recording to take place.

Imprecise storytelling series – Fear 6/28/16

Zooming in the Lens — Tue, 28 Jun 2016 23:21:55 +0000

Impromptu on FEAR

Presented by ZITL podcast with Olivia May (me) and my teacher, Katrina Chester. Imprecise storytelling is a metaphor – we all think we know who we are. And then we share “who we are” with those around us. But what if we are more? or Less? what if beliefs cloud “what is” – what if they stop the curiosity to explore? just imagine, if in doing that, we are our own imprecise storytellers……I’ll take off my judgement hat if you take of yours.

Ep.29 *Part 2 – Earth creature in its natural habitat (Tommy Stewart)

Zooming in the Lens — Tue, 14 Jun 2016 19:13:41 +0000

Part 2 ~ Tommy is a yogi in practice as most of us participating and listening are too. Tommy spent his life as a recording and touring drummer in bands with enough success to pack arena’s in and out of the U.S. Presently, he zooms his passions into another arena, turning him on for over 30 years – personal training with his company “Functional Body Movement”. Being a personal trainer, these topics may appear slightly out of the norm – that is if you’re on board with mainstream prevailing societal definitions of the words “health” and “conscious.” Health conscious people don’t normally ponder and chat about drugs, legalization, and investigation through experience. Or do they?

Visit with Katrina and Tommy as they continue their chat and discuss how neuroscience has identified some powerful medical uses of psychedelics, and a personal story Tommy shares of his experience with the “ritual” of DMT. The title of this episode inspired by the TV show “The Twilight Zone.” Cultivating the witness feels like activating a loving presence to self-questioning, to ask ”who in us is doing the seeking” and in regards to this topic, perhaps… “who in us is using the drug.”

The title of this episode is inspired by an episode of “The Twilight Zone.” Cultivating the witness feels like activating a loving presence for self-questioning as the twilight zone ep. reminded us ”who in us is doing the seeking” -regarding this topic, “who in us is using the drug.” Anotherwards, what is the intention behind the use.

CREDITS ~ intro and outro includes public access audio of an amazing lecture on this topic, of the amazing Timothy Leary. Thank you for giving Katrina words that match her intentions to use these podcasts as her personal practice.

Ep. 27 – A Passover talk with Aunt Shirley

Zooming in the Lens — Thu, 28 Apr 2016 19:20:23 +0000

A Marathon With Katrina Chester & Cara Albero. Cara in NY joins Katrina in LA for an impromptu practice! Aren’t those the best though? With Passover honored this week, the topic of family naturally arrived. Cara shares her recent practice moment involving her mom and her aunt Shirley related to relationships and the navigation of practice when reactions of obligation and guilt arrive. Katrina shares her beginner amazement after diving into one of the five books of Moses (Exodus) from the Jewish Bible. “I am so honored that now I can open up to ancient wisdom from many religious teachings. Way more than I was exposed to growing up, and once only seen through my individual lens of limits. Please pardon my naive, but heartfelt, interpretation fueled by excitement of the symbology of another profound living, breathing road map” As Ram Dass might say “an accomplishment for an Italian girl from NY” – Maybe someday we can live in a world where all, no matter what Religion, what is heard in “Good Pesach” is a message of compassion for one another because we have all felt “passed over” or a lack of Freedom, from something at some point in each of our lives.” ~ Katrina Chester

~ Apologies for the length! Maybe listen in parts! Good thing Passover IS a week long ~

Ep. 26 – Part 2 “Because Love shouldn’t have Red Tape” with guest, Hank Fortener

Zooming in the Lens — Thu, 14 Apr 2016 02:15:26 +0000

Hank is not your average Pastor. In these episodes, many topics are sparked which at the core can inspire us to widen our lens by looking underneath what we think we know, and who we think we and others are. The growing popular term “spiritual but not religious” is a clue of imbalance and our separation. With direct experience & opening to alternative perspectives, personally and collectively, change can occur. It takes enormous energy to push beliefs and agendas. By sharing and learning from one another, energy springs free to create inner-vision – an ability to interpret belief as a taste of what something is like, rather than what it is. Symbols and metaphors come alive; deeper meanings become a golden thread of intention. “Being stuck” in belief is a human problem, not a soul problem. ZITL comes together for all the spiritual and religious minded, for discoveries that can open us to learn from one another. Practicing awareness and personal responsibility is a vehicle for change.

We are honored Hank joined us for this hang! See the huge efforts of service and change Hank and his family have created by going to www.AdoptTogether.org, And don’t forget to learn more about how YOU can participate in World Adoption Day on Nov. 9th!

Ep. 25 – “Because Love shouldn’t have Red Tape” with guest, Hank Fortener – Part 1

Zooming in the Lens — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 20:44:20 +0000

Hank Fortener – TedX, Adopttogether.org, World Adoption Day-Nov 9, Christian Pastor, joins Katrina for an open, organic chat. But Hank is not your average Pastor. He captures even the non-religious when he shares from his inspiring & up-to-date lens, as you may simultaneously find yourself wanting to share a beer with the guy. Katrina and Hank share in their desire to create talking & living experiences on topics of spirituality, religion, ancient wisdom and texts, not clouded by dogma or pushing it away – instead rooted in the art of discovery and sharing, as they are always learning and practicing, too.

In Part-One, Hank shares some stories which inspired the creation of Adopttogether.org ~ the first crowdfunding site for adoption. Katrina and Hank discuss relationships/marriage, religion and spirit, the importance of personal values (inspiration), and how doing good doesn’t always feel good during. These episodes spark many topics, which at the core, can inspire to widen the lens of practice by also looking underneath what we think we know.

We are so happy to be able to air these talks and are honored Hank gave us his time. Please follow these hyperlinks for more information on Hank; upcoming book; recorded talks including a Ted TV-www.HankFortener.com- Hanks podcast on Itunes: typically-hazardous-w.-hank if you are in Los Angeles – attend his live podcast recording events!

Ep. 24 – Part 2, Spacesuit adjustments with Katrina Chester & Bryan Clark

Zooming in the Lens — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 13:00:09 +0000

Join Katrina and her guest Bryan Clark (MA, Mindset Coach and Client Experience Expert for Conscious Entrepreneurs) for PART 2 of their candid talk on the struggles of life as we adjust our spacesuits which culture, family, friends, peers, and beliefs systems rely on. Our mind says we are different but our souls have no differences. The mind reports how alone we are, how separate, yet the soul is never alone or lonely, even in a crowded room. Bryan shares his experiences growing up in religion, coming out as a gay teenager, family reactions, his reactions, and how they fed into adulthood personally and professionally. For Part 2, Bryan shares how this actually lead him to the deep inspiration and his life’s work as a practitioner of inquiry, spirituality and his success helping others. Listen to the end where he recommends further material and how to personally work with him one-on-one or within a group online (next one April 2016). It’s a lot easier than you think, no matter where in the world you are. We are honored to share space with Bryan! Hearing other people’s stories is a deep practice allowing us all to see ourselves, even when their story may seem so far from ours. Thank you for listening while we practice and share with you.

Ep. 23 – Spacesuit adjustments with Katrina Chester & Bryan Clark (Part 1)

Zooming in the Lens — Thu, 10 Mar 2016 08:34:11 +0000

Spacesuit = Our roles and models in life, our external bodies, our personalities, who we think we are. “When I, like you, was born I donned a space suit for living on this planet, it was this body, this is my space suit, and it had a steering mechanism which is my pre-frontal lobe and all the brain that helps with coordinating and stuff…and we learn how to grab things and lift things…you get rewarded when you learn how to use your spacesuit. And you get really good at it. You get so good at it that you can’t differentiate yourself from your spacesuit anymore… and you’re constantly looking into other people’s eyes to find out if you’re really wearing a nice spacesuit…” Ram Dass (https://www.ramdass.org/ram-dass-spacesuit/)

Join Katrina and guest Bryan Clark (MA, Mindset Coach and Client Experience Expert for Conscious Entrepreneurs) in a candid talk about the struggles in life as we adjust our spacesuits that culture, family, friends, peers, and beliefs systems rely on. Our mind says we are different but our souls have no differences. It reports how alone we are, yet the soul is never lonely, even in a crowded room. Bryan shares his experiences growing up in religion, coming out as a gay teenager, family reactions and his own, and how reactions fed into adulthood personally and professionally. He shares this and more in a two-part episode leading to his deep inspiration and life’s work as a practitioner of inquiry, spirituality and his success helping others. In Bryan’s words “IGNITE Your Passion – SHINE your Unique Brilliance – LEAD with Love!” We are honored to share space with Bryan!

Ep. 22 “If you think you’re enlightened, go spend a week with your parents.” (Ram Dass) inspiring- “Parenting then and now” (and you do not have to be a parent or have one!)

Zooming in the Lens — Thu, 10 Dec 2015 02:26:14 +0000

“You never know the right way…life just goes on, click, click, click…you need a backup system, otherwise your just like a jellyfish floating around…” – Jan Chester.
I have never responded to anyone more with the word “right” than in this podcast, ha! Why? The guest is my mother. What topic did she pick? “Parenting then and now.” She doesn’t know I would have agreed to the topic of “Tupperware” to receive this experience with her. She is not a spiritual person, not physically well nor accepting aging, and is dealing with severe memory loss. A perfect self-practice. Some of what she says I’ve never even heard before! I love her dearly, and am really honored she was up for doing this. Shifting perceptions within family, witnessing their and your own roles and models, is wild practice! So, what would YOU experience if you shifted perception with someone in your family and engaged in a very different kind of ‘get to know’ during these holidays?
Doing this podcast with my mother shows me how self-awareness must grow individually, with understanding and compassion for our parents/family. If we want to see clearly into our personal responsibility and freedom from our roles and models. I am thankful and grateful to my mother for allowing me to show up in and out of the role of “daughter”, to experience her as “soul” and not just “mom”. Scary shit, lol.

“Individually, every grain of sand brushing against my hands represents a story, an experience, and a block for me to build upon for the next generation.” – Raquel Cepeda, Bird of Paradise: How I Became Latina
“The aging of our parents provides a perfect opportunity to seek wisdom and maturity in our own approach to life. The effort we put into our learning about our relationship with our parents will give us strength and insight for the years to come.” -Jerry Waxler, M.S.

Ep. 21 “Thanksgiving with no agenda” special episode

Zooming in the Lens — Wed, 25 Nov 2015 23:11:42 +0000

Ep. 21 “Thanksgiving with no agenda” special episode for the holidays

Cara Evans and Katrina Chester have a free form talk with no agenda. What came out are survival skills & tools for the holidays when being with family and friends trigger us. Two friends using a podcast as their spiritual practice, shifting perceptions, using awareness, sharing their suffering and grace. Happy holidays everyone…THE best & hardest material in practice Listen to the end so you can hear Reggie Ray (Buddhist teacher) giving you a tool for the holidays too!

ZITL Podcast is grateful for
• Ram Dass and Maharaji – Neem Karoli Baba
• All of you spiritual seekers arriving so open and curious, who understand ZITL has no agenda or financial gain within all it takes to put this podcast together. The gain is in being vulnerable to take on a practice of putting yourself out there on a podcast, going into the scary parts the mind is taught to avoid. May that inspire others to let go of waiting to be perfect. There is a hole in western spiritual practice – everyone seems to appear “knowing” and through that lens we dig ourselves deeper into procrastination. “If dialog existed in my early practice days, like this, I would have had more awareness of what I put into my head and that it only has to come out. Yoga is a shedding, not a taking on of more and more. We entertain the mind with the hopes of softening the defenses we have built up against being in the now, being love. I am thankful for those receiving ZITL as just that because its a good start in all of us receiving ourselves and others that way too. ” Katrina Chester

Ep.20 “burning MAN and the mirror”

Zooming in the Lens — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 20:48:24 +0000

Katrina talks with Jim McCown in MO, who took part in the Zooming in the Lens course presented by Ram Dass and Functional Yoga online (which Katrina guides).
How much of a role does our linear thinking play in the interpretation of ourselves, others, and of our lives? Using myth, ritual and community, the practice of shifting self/other perceptions helps unfold bigger pictures, making sense of ourselves in the world. Join us for dialogue into Burning Man and Spiritual Practice –

Jim attended the festival “Burning Man” this year for the very first time…and with his daughter. How many dads can say that Katrina and Jim discuss, the perhaps not-so-different worlds of BM and spiritual seeking, yet both can really be overlooked and over judged, without personal experience. Both share the road toward expanded awareness and challenging our judgments of who we think we are – community practices that can free us from the “me, mine and I” worlds we all live in – and, personal responsibility. Importantly, they both create opportunities for EXPERIENCES and our direct participation in life. With personal experience, learned knowledge grows roots. Without, may even be stopping us from trying. Join us in demystifying words like Ritual and Myth! Thank you to Jim for sharing his mirror with us!

Katrina Chester and Cara Evans join in for teaching moments with a beautiful 26-year-old sharing her own experience to free the limited thinking of career options! ~ Lexi Pellegrino is someone who went to college for 4 years, but once she landed in the workforce she did everything she could to not fall asleep at her desk in NYC. After she felt like “this can’t be it” she spiraled into confusion and guilt with a choice to make and seemingly limited options…or not. Two African safari’s later, working with Americorp with FEMA in the US on relief and aid, to cumulatively practicing and surviving for over a year living deep in the mountains participating, then leading youth in cultivating relationships to nature through conservation work when only 3-years-ago she was falling asleep at her desk.

http://functionalyogaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Ep.18-_gap-year-gap-life_-education-exploration-Part-1.mp3

a look into the experience of education and life exploration

Welcome to Part 1 with Cara Evans and Lexi Pellegrino for an interesting conversation on the limited awareness our culture brings to the choice of “Gap years” – (taking a year or semester off before college). In reality, we have a choice to apply that term individually too, creating a “gap life”. Not as in being lazy, pursuing nothing, but to allow cultivation for natural motivation to arrive as well from our individual personal experience, prior to school loan debts, and locking down on a career for security. A gap-life could simply be the art of pausing and cultivating AWARENESS to any differences we may feel inside when making a choice from love rather than fear alone, as our futures are never guaranteed. We can fear pausing, or stopping our career sprint as adults, just as youth and early 20’s do. Yet without conscious awareness we spread to our youth, that pausing at all, is wasting time and is a luxury. Yet statistics show that simply is not true…This is a friendly conversation between 3 people with different experiences – one who is celebrating her choice for now, of her experience within a Gap-Life, post-college degree. Hear her stories on Part 1 of “Gap year-Gap life”.

Ep. 17 “the game of incarnation, PART-TWO”

Zooming in the Lens — Thu, 22 Oct 2015 00:07:09 +0000

…with Katrina Chester, guests Cara Evans and Lexi Pellegrino for part-two…are we playing the game of our lives, or is it playing us? The scientists of spirituality discussion continues from last week with Cara and Katrina as they notice the recipe used by science for investigation, to adjusting the lens of ourselves in our own life discoveries; for allowing daily life as a spiritual practice. Cara shares a story showing, no matter where you are in practice, it’s not about everything becoming perfect. Lexi, just returned from another adventure in nature, shares with us her experience living in the mountains of Idaho, sometimes 83 miles into back country inspiring youth for a 7 week adventure living with the land. Next episode we will get to hear more from her, like her remarkable tales of the African bush rebuilding water wells for tribes from the elephants who had destroyed them. In turn, repairing the relationship between human and animal when restoring the tribes only water source. This is how she practices. That and much more, coming soon! Enjoy the triad of laughter and in-depth 1.5 hours as they follow each other into the land of our individual games of incarnation!

Ep.16 “the game of incarnation”

Zooming in the Lens — Fri, 02 Oct 2015 20:57:52 +0000

Joining Katrina today is Cara Evans discussing a deep desire for us as humans to separate. Seperate people, knowledge, ourselves into “this is ME at work, this is ME at home” etc., Right before our eyes the big topics teach us how separation leads us further into sleep leaving ONE option being right and making another wrong. That isn’t practicing – that is a belief, a role and pretty much all we know out of the box. How could we bridge a gap for a wider vision of who WE are with myopic glasses covering the many perceptions? One common barrier for a lot of us is when we label ourselves as “a more scientific minded person” verse ” a spiritually minded person”. Science for example and their primary practice for studying anything is the investigation. Their pattern in which to do this and the pattern for self-study are very much connected in that they are both gathering information about the object. For people, if we are busy being “us”, the object (and if a practice is done from that part of us) we leave no space in which to take in all angles and perceptions. That would literally be like a scientist cutting slivers of their own skin, muscles, ligaments, tendons and bone off, putting it under the microscope, and looking through. Eventually, you’ll bleed out. Not very functional. Self-awareness develops the view of ourselves as both subject and object, as does science with ‘specimen and scientist’, and for self-study it’s like being in two places at the same time. We are discussing the similarities of scientific approaches of investigation and our self as both subject and object for our own investigation. So what are the rules of the game of incarnation? I think it’s one way of describing what a spiritual practice IS – noticing what our individual and collective rules are; what are the properties of the specimen?

Ep.15 “lets get small, average, and great”

Zooming in the Lens — Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:13:33 +0000

Katrina Chester is joined by fellow spiritualist and dear friend, Cara Albero, for this episode diving into a well-known quote for discovery. A practice of seeing, through investigation, how pliable and fluid a belief, opinion, and interpretation, really are when clinging is softened. When we experience thoughts that seem to be so solid; becoming fluid (like changing our mind), that creates safe space. Not to throwing out roles in life, unless that indeed happens – but to develop a new relationship to our roles, and how we may be holding others in theirs. Creating relationship (conscious awareness; taking requires a giving back) is one gift a spiritual practice (yoga, martial arts, doing the dishes!) gives back to us. Thank you for your patience with episode 15 too! Lots of shifts, lots of time for practice and change. We are right there with those of you listening that are knee deep in yours as well. with love to those we get to share with, thank you for the continued practice.

Ep.14 – That “Don’t-know mind” Part 1- Love

Zooming in the Lens — Wed, 26 Aug 2015 22:06:30 +0000

The unproven, unexplainable, and indescribable series. Part 1 – LOVE

What is the don’t-know mind, also known as the beginners mind? Why would I want to NOT know something? An important element in growing emotionally and spiritually is curiosity-like when we were children! That drive diminishes when we think we know-it-all. And, even if you did – know-it-all – ancient spiritual traditions share that the drive to tell everybody diminishes as well – unless asked. Rena Joy and Cara Evans join Katrina for to discuss… the cultural norm valuing knowledge, titles, degree’s, scientific studies, and as a participant, Katrina shares her personal importance in practising balance so knowledge doesn’t substitute our own personal experience. Culturally in this age, we want to PROVE everything, yet many things in the human experience are unexplainable. In many way’s love is indescribable, maybe even unproven. Rena and Cara share some other cultural views on love, as well as an astrological (another unproven technique) tool everyone can use! Thank you for subscribing to Zooming in the Lens Podcast! This is a juicy one!

Ep.13 – Eating an elephant with a plastic fork w/ guests Rena Joy & Cara Evans

Zooming in the Lens — Sat, 15 Aug 2015 03:37:44 +0000

A special podcast recorded on Guru Purnima…a beautiful Hindu holiday honoring your teachers. Katrina shares two very special people: Rena Joy- over 50 years of practice and currently 71 years old, Rena is an author, astrologer, spiritual counselor, and psycic. Rena lived through the psychedelic era and shares a deep gratitude with Katrina for Ram Dass. Rena attended many of the RD lectures your hearing on the net. Her fervor for self-study includes-her roots in Judaism, to Buddhism, Shamanism, and Wiccan. Her daughter Cara Evans joins us through conversations of “growing up Rena”, as Cara shares her mother’s drive- of self-study, playing, and telling it like it is. Cara is Katrina’s best friend, a sister, and the most loving soul who is able to reach Katrina’s heart in a way no one can. Coming to us from NY, via skype, Rena and Cara are two of Katrina’s oldest and dearest spiritual friends. The three let you in on their conversations of tripping, bending that wire of rules, “how do astrology and psychic readings fit into self-study? Do you have to believe there is a future for Rena to be able to read your tarot cards? When you gather is a group to speak of your teachers it holds a lot of power and today they honor many but especially Ram Dass who’s had a life-changing effect in all of their lives. May we all open enough to see the many, many teachers living right under our nose. Jai Maharaji (Neem Karoli Baba), Namaste, Blessed be

Ep.12 – Late night Yoga -Special Guests!

Zooming in the Lens — Thu, 23 Jul 2015 04:55:27 +0000

One late night in southern California, 4 close friends grabbed a mic and hit record. Three of these friends toured together for many years as musicians in rock and roll traveling the world. Four of them are yogis, questioners of reality and hold dear the belief in not taking yourself or life too seriously. Why is this being published? Because the yoga of real life is lived in the spaces, in the times where maybe we’re not ‘ready’- vulnerable perhaps but real. In honor of their practice these four talk of their experience in the music industry, creativity, Ashtanga, being scared, favorite quotes, guru’s and much more. If we all wait for a yogi to appear, we miss the ‘late-night’ magic of the yoga that’s already here. With loving grace, Zooming in the Lens is happy to welcome Tommy Stewart, Pete Murrey, Rina Murrey and Katrina Chester. Thank you to dear friends for being willing to let us practice on-mic. Jai Jai!!

Ep.11 -Can I surrender-to-surrender? 1 of 1000 episodes ;)

Zooming in the Lens — Wed, 08 Jul 2015 21:00:44 +0000

Using a recent health experience, Katrina tells a story she hasn’t even shared yet with many close to her yet is inspired by the support of co-host Sass to practice vulnerability and use this moment to try something different. Sass’s wisdom of the many avenues in which we can surrender creates this “podcast practice”. This is what I think we have grown to love about these girls; one holds space (in this instance, that’s surrender) while the other one dances in the maze of their current life circumstances. Katrina apologizes for the highjack! That’s what being vulnerable may look like sometimes. Nothing like a good health scare to bing out the ‘stories’ in the mind! Thank you for supporting ZITL podcast and please subscribe and share with those friends who may like this too!

Ep.9 “Using Ritual as Practice”

Zooming in the Lens — Thu, 11 Jun 2015 02:24:39 +0000

The girls get into a discussion about using rituals as practice in our daily lives. What IS the big hang up of some about rituals anyway? In todays world, the word “rituals” may conjure up thoughts of religion, a cult, or descriptions like hippie dippy. But rituals are already used in cultures big and small! Check out athletes for example…before a game most report they have to make time for their good luck ritual; performers and artists have their rituals before a show, writing or painting – so when looking at everyday daily life as practice, we can zoom in the lens to uncover how “habits” can be looked at as rituals without consciousness. Add consciousness to the habit, stir gentle… and rituals can bring many things to our personal practice table. Things like discipline, individual expression, and checking “in” with ourselves more then checking “out”. As Timothy Leary once said “Turn on, tune in, drop out”. Always with love and intentions to expand…thank you for tuning in to ZITL Podcast.

Ep.8 “Demonics of life”

Zooming in the Lens — Wed, 27 May 2015 19:50:42 +0000

Meet Joseph Campbell, who starts the girls off today. For those who don’t know Joseph, he is a powerful, very knowledgable mythologist and philosopher. The title of this episode comes from this audio explanation your about to hear for where the root of the word “demon” comes from. It will blow your mind! Sass and Katrina naturally flow from there in the usefulness of different interpretations in our daily life & practice, moving into what “holding space” for ourself and others means. Within what we think is the search of who and what we are; the deeper connection begins. We are mostly taught to reach outward to seek; that begins an unfolding too, revealing that it has been an “inside job” all along. What if there is no “right or wrong”? Wouldn’t it be powerful if other peoples negative opinions of us could be interpreted in a way to serve us? Make sure you stay tuned till the end – no cure like the cure of laughter And join the conversation by submitting your thoughts on our blog or via ZITLCourse@gmail.com, or on Facebook! We would love to hear from you with topic suggestions. Hope you enjoy this episode and thank you for supporting us!

Ep. 7 “married to the mind”

Zooming in the Lens — Tue, 12 May 2015 07:56:28 +0000

Sit in on the juicy talks into our unknown commitment when not questioning our monkey-mind. We may not even notice our thoughts or the results that may bring to us, personally. Listening to the mind without questioning with awareness and self inquiry, brings up dynamic conversation into personal responsibility, the benefits to cultivating back our imagination, play, and living presently v living from memories informing our present-mind. Join the girls for their personal tools used to investigate a loving and amicable…separation to the mind – or as, creating “space” within the mind. Apologies for Katrina sounding like “the voice of God” in this episode, which is due to a recording issue known as “not shutting off the reverb!” One of these days they will record a flawless sounding episode for Ian to edit but until then, thank you for your patience – “this isn’t easy stuff to navigate through ;)”

Ep.6 “In through the out-door”

Zooming in the Lens — Thu, 30 Apr 2015 05:53:52 +0000

The girls riff on some technological advances, and scientific ‘hopes’ inching closer and closer to results in the human quest for immortality, halting ageing, and pain reduction. How could this play-out in the human experience? With “in through the out-door”, translations ensue relating to -birth and death -personal responsibility -blaming -cultural conditioning and how these topics can uncover individual road maps for us all. All benefit from enquiry and self-discoveries of where in life we may be ‘asleep’ and ‘awake’. What does ‘in through the out-door” have to do with any of this? Tune in and find out! What if going toward the “out-door” IS life? Join Sass and Kat as they take a roller coaster ride through the fun park of modern day mindlessness.

Ep. 5 “Perception play”

Zooming in the Lens — Mon, 20 Apr 2015 08:46:20 +0000

In episode #5 Katrina and Sass play with all the different perceptions (including their own differences) of large and small topics which can help to understand why we may have some blocks to hearing new perceptions. Katrina shares a funny story about how she was “caught” in her ego-mind in traffic – all work and no play makes Katrina a psycho. “What does God mean to you?” is a question Katrina has asked some listeners & she shares their varying perceptions. Also joining them around the 1/2 way point of this episode is guest Tommy Stewart to share his story of perception on the road as the drummer for Godsmack. We all get “caught”, even people who practice for many years – its not about being perfect, instead these practices are about adding consciousness, awareness and cultivating the witness so you can use it AS practice. (Apologies for Katrina’s sound this episode) Hosts- Katrina Chester * Sass Jordan, music and editing by Ian Hatton- www.mixforpix.com, www.functionalyogaonline.com, ZITLcourse@gmail.com, www.facebook.com/functionalyoga

Ep. 4 “All retch and no vomit”

Zooming in the Lens — Thu, 09 Apr 2015 00:20:33 +0000

In the 4th episode of Zooming in the Lens, Katrina and Sass share stories of mind-chatter and offer some tools to witness the inner dialogue rather then become it. And as usual, the girls are laughing at themselves and each other, as they open to everyone as a practice. The ego-mind….”all retch and no vomit”. What a great disguse our beautiful minds can be!

Ep. 3 “Breathe into your big toe?”

Zooming in the Lens — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 18:38:48 +0000

Ep. 3 – Sass and Katrina share their stories and insights into some of the esoteric language they encountered when dipping into a western spiritual practice. Depending on where we come from of course, sometimes the language alone can feel like a shut-off valve for acceptance and understandings we may otherwise get. In the end, maybe sharing the humor of our differences can open up pathways in ourselves to encourage translations personal for each of us. Apologies for the occastional sound shift on Sass’ mic-we are aware.

Ep. 2 “Time to make the donuts”

Zooming in the Lens — Wed, 18 Mar 2015 22:42:04 +0000

…is a saying for “time to go to work”! Who doesn’t want the ability to do what they love for work/career, but what if you don’t know what you love? Sass and Katrina explore this topic, as it leads to some meatier thoughts on “intentions, motivations and beliefs” through their lens of practice. Is it better to grow up knowing or is it better to not know? One says “maybe yes”- one says “maybe not”! From tour buses to ashrams – with a lot of laughter – welcome to the 2nd episode of Zooming in the Lens.

(Episode 2)

Ep. 1 “Get to know the girls”

Zooming in the Lens — Wed, 04 Mar 2015 23:31:55 +0000

Katrina and Sass talk about their lives in the music industry, and briefly about the path that lead them here. Revealing yourself through music IS surrendering into the heart; two humbling adventures they share. But its wasn’t in the plan to switch gears, at least not from the model of who they thought they were. These two tackle episodes-one topics with the humor, love, the real and down-to-earth energy their friendship is known for. If you are interested in spirituality, yet haven’t been able to resonate with the mainstream approach, get to know Katrina and Sass here in the raw for Episode One.
