Is it possible that your thoughts, shadow patterns, and digestive health are deeply interconnected?
In this episode of A State of Mind, Julian Royce connects with organizational development consultant and meditation practitioner Jonathan Mozenter. After discovering integral philosopher Ken Wilber and studying under Dr. Daniel P. Brown, Jonathan transformed his approach to mind mastery, shadow work, and human flourishing.
Together, they explore Western psychology and Eastern traditions, breaking down metacognition, how parts work (IFS) helps resolve chronic health issues like Crohn's and IBS, and why "waking up, cleaning up, and growing up" are essential for human development.
