The Twilight Conversations

Hey! What’s that sound? I can hear you, can you hear me? In this episode we take a good look at communication through the sounds of our voices..our tonality, inflection, speed, pitch & energy etc..there is far more information in how we say something as opposed to what we are saying-the content. Mench is good-gammy is bad! & as always I will delve into some great tunes that have amazing op...

This pod tinkles the ivories & caresses the keyboards to our hearts as I lay out some famous piano openings (& some not so famous) & simultaneously explore the multifaceted nuances & expressions of our hearts... How we transmit & receive & discerning the good faith heart from the deceptive heart...  enjoy! Podcast Editor - Ger Kellett CLICK HERE FOR THE PLAYLIST FOR THIS EP...

Lets continue exploring the different instruments & sounds in the band. We covered Bass & Drums, now its the turn of the guitar intro/opening, ya know those opening few bars/chords that grab your soul senses & leaving you with only one thing to say: ‘What (or who) the fuck was that!’ The guitar intro is crucial to the whole song, it decides weather you're in or not, if indeed you a...

Drumrolls, fills, grooves & shuffles... In this episode, I explore some of our most influential drummers, their unique signature & what gives them that special something! I also play around with the sense of our own inner drumbeat, our own unique & unrepeatable expressions of of true selves & how we interact with the collective, universal drumbeat.... Podcast Editor - Ger Kellett C...

What did Jesus mean by ‘in the world, but not of it?’ He sure did speak in cryptic riddles didn’t he! I figure he saying that being of the world makes you a silly cunt who brings no good to no-one... Being ‘in the world’ means being grounded & in our bodies... but not a slave to worldly things like greed, ignorance & high horsery! Focus on spiritual principles like kindness, patience &...

Is this whole life thing, the human experience, somehow a workout for what's to follow in the great gig in the sky? Are we experimenting, learning, exploring ways to be ourselves & co-exist with other humans & beings? Can we touch heaven on earth or hell equally? I don’t know the answers to these mysteries... but hey, no harm in having a good aul chat about it! Podcast Editor - Ger Kel...

In this episode, I take a close look at how we communicate with each other. What is our motive/intention if we want to say something to someone? Particularly if that is a challenge, a call out, or we are inviting someone to explore something? How do we receive such information? What about passive/aggressive radio silence communication? Which in fact is the loudest form of communication. I do focus...

In this episode, I take a deep dive down into the gastrointestinal tract, more commonly referred to as our gut. I highlight how this is far more than a feeling/sensation in our tummy, this starts in the mouth & travels right through to the bowels & anal canal. I also explore the relationship between intuition & the gut, trauma triggers, critical thinking & integration... Podcast Ed...

Lets take another trip into the fascinating world of covers, versions & interpretations of classic songs by other artists. There are so many fabulous options- I've chosen twelve & could probably do 12 episodes exploring different renditions of popular or loved tunes. While all this is going on, I invite you to examine your own ‘cover stories’ what are the good ones? Funny ones, what ar...

In this episode, we play around with catchy, famous bass lines, riffs, licks & breaks. I simultaneously explore baseline behaviours, underlying baseline energy. The bass is humble, unassuming, understated-yet it's vital for the whole band/song to function & work. The bass notes are deep in the core of the human soul, the drums are the heartbeat & the guitars, keyboards & whole...

In this episode, I attempt to explore the taboo area of female abusers, women who are bad, evil, nasty & viscous. With expert collaboration from Ann O’Connell (aka Redz or Redzer) we dare to recognise & acknowledge female pedophelia... Maybe the final taboo... We explore how culture/society has a collective denial/resistance to seeing women as predators or perpetrators... Yet we know they...

In this Episode, we are taken on a mystical & magical journey where Noel effortlessly & naturally draws us into to the sacred space of human suffering through isolation/disconnection & transcendence through humility, modesty, honesty & humour as he offers a masterclass in authenticity in therapy through genuine encounter & breathtakingly honest self disclosure... Creating safet...

In this Pod, we are enchanted once again by Joni’s grace, charm, charisma, innocence, purity, naughtiness & magi... Delivered in her effortless, natural, unassuming & disarming style... She opens her beautiful, courageous heart & invites us all to explore the sometimes feared & revered phenomenon of love... Particularly the intoxicating & bewitching energy of romantic love... S...

Persecutor-Victim-rescuer..recognise yourself or somebody else you know? These 3 positions are hardwired into the human psyche. Generally we are aware of these dynamics & do not get trapped in the potential suffocating effects of this insidious ‘set up’ Narcissists, abusers & immature personalities thrive in the Drama triangle-they love it & derive great pleasure & supply from trap...

This episode explores our energy levels-particularly psychologically, emotionally & spiritually. Is there far more going out than coming in? Are the choices we are making nourishing, nurturing & good for us? Are you the people/relationships in our lives givers or takers? How do you fill your cup? Do you believe your cup is worth filling? All of this & so much more on this groovy Pod! ...

Childlike or Childish? Are we fully in our adult selves or merely fucked up kids in grown up bodies? I think most reasonable human beings, strive to be responsible adults & keep our inner little ones in check with kindness, love, compassion & a firm, steady hand. We live in a confusing post truth society that rewards childish, narcissistic behaviour, where selfishness, greed & tantrums...

This pod delves into techniques, strategies & mindsets to help you manage & cope with difficult personality types, particularly those who play the ‘victim game’ & hide behind the shy or vulnerable persona...The gold star response is ‘no contact’. That's not always possible, so we may work with, live with, love or be in love with these very challenging personalities. So we play with...

In this episode, I take a closer look at what's behind the difficult/toxic/narcissistic personality. What drives this distorted energy? Its not unusual to find the victimhood mentality right at the core... This combined with the vulnerable’ or timid narcissistic presentation, brings a volatile cocktail of seething entitlement, poor meism, moody nobody really gets me, covert vengeance, paranoia...

Ok, so in this Pod, I reveal some of my favourite covers, tributes & interpretations of some of my favourite artists songs! Generally I prefer the original recordings, however, there are some renditions that absolutely deserve to be highlighted. Of course I quickly discovered that there are far more cool covers than I realised! So there will be more Pods exploring this exciting process... Podc...

Sadly, we say farewell to our beautiful mother, the grandmother, great grandmother, friend to all & overall cool gal...has taken the next step in her journey, she has crossed that mysterious rubicon & is having new peaceful & happy adventures! In this episode I attempt to pay homage to this amazing woman, share my grief/loss/sadness & remember so fondly the irresistible, irrepressi...

‘Are you for real?’ ‘So this is who you are...’ In this episode I take a close look at our inner experience & expression of the phrase: ‘Really?’ & all the different meanings that might have depending on what we are encountering or dealing with in the other. Is it that longed for, beautiful, humble: ‘really’ thank you for being you & being so lovely in the way you love me! Or is it the...
