May 29, 2026 · 1 h 50 min

Show notes

What does it mean for spiritual practice to become genuinely useful in the midst of ordinary life?


Mark Davis is the founder of Hypno-CBT® , a science-based therapeutic model he's developed over the last 20 years. In this conversation we explore the contemplative and practical roots of Mark’s work. They discuss stilling the mind, agency, self-objectification, disinhibition, and the pragmatist reading of Abhinavagupta. Along the way, they also refer to some genuinely practical techniques.


Bridging contemplative philosophy and therapeutic application, this dialogue reflects on how insight becomes embodied through practice, inquiry, and direct experience. A grounded and wide-ranging conversation on transformation, awareness, and practical spirituality.
