You must check out this fascinating and illuminating conversation with Rohini Walker, British-Indian writer and devoted practitioner of soul-body liberation. Rohini moved to the desert of Joshua Tree, California with her husband from London, England in 2013 and began a creative journey of writing, mentoring, and consulting.
Rohini co-founded the arts and cultural print periodical Luna Arcana, with Martin Mancha (Ted’s cousin)
Ted was inspired to have Rohini as a guest because of her article titled “Committing to Digestion in the Information Age.” In this article from her newsletter Letters from Luna, Rohini discusses the over-consumption of information that has become addictive and normalized. Like going from one all-you-can-eat buffet to another without allowing anything to digest, this incessant consumption of news and social media keeps us distracted, anxious, and uncomfortable in our bodies with “hot heads and cold bellies.”
Drawing from Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine and other indigenous wisdom traditions, Rohini shares how she works with her clients to have greater connection with one’s body as well as to the natural world, allowing us to cultivate “Cool heads and warm bellies”. This episode is guaranteed to give you some things to think about.

When was the last time you sat outside and just looked at the sky? Not took a photo of it. Not posted it. Just sat there and looked at it. If you had to think about that for a moment — this episode is for you. Somewhere along the way, many of us have traded the sky, the trees, and the mountains for a small glowing screen. And that trade is costing us more than we realize.
