About this episode

Welcome back

Today I am joined by Buddhi. She and her husband Hap recently lost their home in a wildfire. Please donate at their GoFundMe. As Buddhi explains in the show, the tragedy did not reach the amount of monetary damage required for assistance from the state of California, or from FEMA. Thank you to Mycelium Mage for creating the GoFundMe, and for everyone that has contributed so far.

If you would like to donate crypto-anonymously, their ETH addresses are hapsavage.eth and bexnaj.eth.

If you do not have the means, feel free to reach out to Buddhi and Hap to send them a book.

Books they would love to receive include:

* Taking Root to Fly, Irene Dowd

* Matter & Desire, Andreas Weber

* The Systems View of Life, Fritjof Capra and Pier Luigi Luisi

* Yoga Anatomy, Leslie Kaminoff and Amy Matthews

* Anatomy Trains, Tom Myers

* Small Arcs of Larger Circles, Nora Bateson

* Netter’s Atlas of Human Embryology, Larry R. Cochard

On this episode we discuss:

* How the concept of the embryo extends to larger systems

* How life happens at the edge of chaos, without a director

* The brusque beauty of NYC society

* Buddhi’s relationship husband TouchMoonflower

* Spontaneity, improvisation, and play

* Their homestead, the fire, and life afterward

* How to breathe properly

* Great yoga practices for people that sit at work

* What we can do for joint health

* Psychosomatic studies.

* Burning Man, Vibecamp, and community

Regarding embodiment tools, Buddhi recommends OPTP Foam Rollers and Myofascial Release Balls.

Thank you for listening, and thank you to Michael Curzi and Zachary Hundley for some extra questions.

Until next time

-Nick
