Your very own Big Bang
Welcome to the 3rd season of the Mystery School Podcast.
This November full moon edition kicks off our 3rd season together as well as a new name and a new format. Each episode will be dedicated to a specific question which I often get from clients, workshop participants or podcast listeners.
For this first episode of the series, it made sense to start from the beginning: How do we get started on a spiritual path?
I had some real resistance to making this question a podcast topic, mainly because people who attend my workshops or listen to my podcast tend to be quite knowledgeable and “advanced” when it comes to spirituality. I felt this topic would bore them and wouldn’t fulfil their expectations. This led me to me realise the importance of this topic, not only for those who are truly beginners on this path but also for people who consider themselves advanced and who might benefit from taking a step back and reflecting on what it was like to begin on a spiritual path of their own.
Expected answers might include exploring buddhism, meditation, yoga or Kaballah.
Instead, my answer is at once much more simple as well as more complicated.
The first step towards a more spiritual life, in my eyes, is to give ourselves space, as little as 10 minutes per day, to sit in a space of stillness and “beingness” perhaps with a notebook, creating a space to begin the discovery of the truth of who we really are.
Sometimes exploring the above-mentioned traditional starting points for spirituality might be frustrating for people who find themselves creating expectations of what is required of them to be “spiritual”, or frustrated when they feel like they are unable to “meditate properly”..
Beginning to make space for your true self to arise sounds simple but in a cultural landscape which values a “time is money” approach of. action, doing “making the most of life”, it can become easy to think of many excuses why making time of ourselves is wasteful and redundant.
I disagree.
On my path I have found that the more space I have allowed for stillness, introspection and practice, the more I have found myself attracting money, love, purpose and all the other delicious juicy things we run around looking for.
For those of you who are more experienced and developed on this path:
I know I can’t speak for all of you, but many will often admit they find it hard to make this kind of space for themselves.
So what about all the Hay House books, buddhist temples, Audiobooks and Kabbalah centres?
Those are great and I can recommend a chunky list of them if required.
But my explorations have shown me that making space in our lives allows for the right things to appear at just the right time.
Making that time, slowing down, nourishing yourself with good food and enough sleep are the first steps.
Trust that the right workshops, teachers, guides, podcasts and retreats will arrive at just the right time.
That is the magic of a world that is working for us rather than against us.
I hope you enjoy this episode.
It is approximately 35 minutes including a 13 min dive/practise.
I have to say this dive is probably the one I have enjoyed the most on this podcast so it is worth listening just for this.

ABOUT THE MYSTERY SCHOOL PODCAST:
The Mystery School podcast is published on every full moon and new moon.
In this 3rd season, the episodes will be answering questions that I often get from clients and workshop participants.
As many questions come up, I believe it’s beneficial to dedicate podcast episodes to them so the answers can have a further reach and potentially benefit a wider range of listeners.
I will also be answering listener questions, so do feel free to send any questions you may have about these topics, or perhaps a situation in your life that needs resolving at m@marcperidis.com.
We can also set up a call which will allow us to answer the question over a 20 min dialog which can be recorded to a podcast.
I look forward to seeing how this unfolds.

TAKE YOUR NEXT GIANT LEAP
WITH MENTORING.
Since first beginning my journey with the mystery school teachings 8 years ago, I have had full certainty of its ability to support mankind in reaching its highest potential.
As a shaman, my role is to mentor individuals and groups who wish to embody their highest level of spiritual “beingness,” experience massive transformation, and profoundly impact the lives of others.
These podcasts represent the tip of the iceberg of what is available.
Mentoring is how we go all the way.
