Daniel Ingram - Integrating Spirituality | Elevating Consciousness Podcast #1

In the first episode of the Elevating Consciousness podcast, I host Dr. Daniel Ingram - the author of “Mastering The Core Teachings of the Buddha” - a book that strips away all the nonsense from the meditative path. He is a master meditator and unlike many other meditation practitioners and teachers, he is open about his attainments. He refers to himself as an Arhant which in the Theravada Buddhist tradition is an enlightened being. In this episode, we dive into awakening, psychedelics, and how spiritual experiences can be integrated into the medical field.
