Are you being guided by intuition… or hijacked by ego?

What if the very thing you’re trying to protect is what’s keeping you stuck?
This week on The Church of Kreis Podcast, Levi cracks open the unspoken rules of impression management — that sneaky, exhausting pressure to “look the part” in order to stay relevant, accepted, or successful. From Broadway to boardrooms, we’ve all sacrificed parts of ourselves to perform for approval. But what if true creative freedom begins t...
Cynicism isn’t insight — it’s fear in a leather jacket.

After weeks of evaluating various kinds of dysfunctions related to compulsive thinking and the identification with the mind, we begin exploring the one thing that will allow us to move deeply into the now moment -letting go of the concept of time. Identification with the mind is intrinsically connected to either the past or the future. When we can let go of the illusion of time, we discover the space between thought...
Continuing our discussion on enlightenment, we take some time this week to understand the emotional pain body and how to free ourselves from its compulsive, controlling reactions. Understanding your triggers and learning how to dis-identify with the pain body is essential to enlightenment and will help free you from identification with the mind.
With the last few episodes focusing on freedom from compulsive thinking and identification with the mind, I turn my gaze towards the body-mind connection. All of us need to learn how to create more space between ourselves and the emotions that we so strongly identify with. In this episode, you will learn how to become the observer of your emotions rather than becoming your emotions. I also talk about how to connect...
Many spiritual gurus say that the identification with the mind is the greatest obstacle to our enlightenment, but what the crap does it mean? In this episode, I help us pull this concept out of the self-help books and into a tangible understanding of when we are using the mind and when the mind is using us. Continuing our conversation from previous episodes, we learn this nuance so that we may be free from compulsiv...
Most of our society suffers from an addiction to compulsive thinking. The mind is always reevaluating the past or strategizing for the future -a constant loop of conflict/solution - but very seldom are we ever in the present moment. Identification with the mind is the single greatest obstruction to our enlightenment. So what is identification with the mind and how do we found our way out? I want you to know that yo...
There is one spiritual discipline that is often considered the gateway to lasting enlightenment. Through this, we can be free from the enslavement of the overactive mind and cultivate a life of Oneness. In the last episode, I started our conversation about spirituality by asking you what is it and why does it matter. I don't think it matters if it is not tangibly and measurably improving your life. I like tal...
What is spirituality? Why are you interested in starting a spiritual journey? There is a reason you are asking this question and I want to tell you the very best place to start. If you feel a radical transformation calling you to explore something deeper, then congratulations. I believe this desire shows up at the perfect time and comes fully equipped by the universe to guide you to a spiritual awakening. I a...

The Spiritual Doula returns for a poignant conversation about making new friends in adulthood and how to maximize the quality of those relationships. We are who we hang around. When those we spend most of our time with are actively upleveling their life, it only reinforces our own spiritual and personal development. On the other hand, if they're clowning, it will only lessen our own ambition. Please consider ...
