In this episode, Joseph sits down with legendary chakra teacher and psychotherapist Anodea Judith, PhD to explore how the chakra system provides a practical map for healing, embodiment, and manifestation. They unpack what “core” really means, how blocked energy shows up in the body as posture, pain, and patterns, and why Anodea uses the word “charge”to describe our life force. The conversation moves from personal stories and somatic therapy to the two energetic currents of liberation and manifestation, and finally into the deeper work of rebalancing the masculine and feminine to create “heaven on earth.”
Anodea Judith, PhD is one of the world’s most recognized teachers on the chakra system, energy psychology, and the bridge between body and spirit. A somatic therapist, yoga teacher, and spiritual teacher, she holds advanced degrees in psychology and mind–body health and has spent decades integrating Western clinical psychology with yogic, somatic, and mystical traditions.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
