Energy You Can Feel: Simple Practices & Expansive Love

A post–Yom Kippur live about love, suffering, and the ways we heal

Late-night live, post–Yom Kippur edition! Fresh out of synagogue (26 hours, dry fast, shofar duty!), Mayim and Jonathan showed up a little loopy, a lot honest, and fully themselves complete with night glasses and cat cameos. They discussed the meaning of these 10 reflective days (Rosh Hashanah → Yom Kippur), the power of ritual, and the strange, sweet humor that sneaks in when you’re hungry, humbled, and grateful.

They also recapped Tuesday’s conversation with philosopher Dr. Bernardo Kastrup—why his tender, rigorous take on consciousness hit so hard and teased today’s very heady, very human Friday guest (Dr. James B. Glattfelder, episode available now!). Jonathan shared what he discussed on his most recent live Practical Spirituality: sensing energy, simple breath-led visualization, and why quieting a revved-up brain can open us to more love, perspective, and possibility. They dug into Bernardo’s moving story about living with severe tinnitus and the shift (part medication, part meaning, undeniably love) that changed his relationship to constant noise without changing the noise itself.
