In this enlightening episode of The Mindful Living, we journey beyond conventional mindfulness practices into the heart of ancient wisdom with visionary world explorer and bestselling author, Marko Petrovic. Marko, the founder of the MARA Project, shares profound insights on how to reconnect with the soul's path by aligning the three brains—gut, heart, and mind. He redefines mindfulness, not as a mere mental exercise but as an embodied practice rooted in rituals, nature, and ancestral connection. Discover how tuning into the elements—earth, water, fire, and air—can cultivate deeper awareness, presence, and joy in daily life.
About the Guest: Marko Petrovic is a two-time bestselling author (Soul Path, Embrace of the Elements), world explorer, and founder of the MARA Project, leading transformative retreats to sacred sites worldwide. His mission is to awaken the soul through ancient rituals, reconnecting modern individuals with timeless wisdom and deeper self-awareness.
Key Takeaways:
-
Mindfulness is not just mental—it's aligning the gut, heart, and mind in harmony.
-
Ancient traditions view the gut as the first brain, the heart as the second, and the mind as the last—a reversal from modern society's focus.
-
Visiting sacred sites or connecting with nature fosters a sense of belonging and ancestral connection.
-
Embracing elemental rituals (earth, water, fire, air) can ground and enrich mindfulness practices.
-
Disconnection is an illusion—awareness of disconnection is itself a form of connection.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
