This week we talk to John Prendergast about tuning into our body

John J. Prendergast, PhD, is a psychotherapist, retired professor of psychology, spiritual teacher, and founder and editor-in-chief of Undivided: The Online Journal of Nonduality and Psychology.

He received his undergraduate degree from UC Santa Cruz and my M.A. and Ph.D. from the California Institute of Integral Studies.  He is licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist.
 His latest book is called In Touch: How to Tune into the Inner Guidance of Your Body and Trust Yourself

In This Interview, John Prendergast and I Discuss:

  • The One You Feed parable
  • How important our body is
  • What “knowing” is
  • Learning to trust our deeper knowledge
  • The difference between inner knowing and hunches based on fear
  • Finding true knowing from ego desires
  • The static in our system
  • Observing thoughts as just thoughts
  • Learning to be more aware to the sensations and feelings in the body
  • Our brain- The Thought Factory
  • Scanning the body
  • Identifying with the world from our thinking, not our body

    The discussion with John Prendergast was eye-opening. While there were many valuable topics discussed, the talk on finding true knowing from ego desires was elegant and did well to address an area where I continue to struggle. It gave me some food for thought as I reconsider how I approach this in my life. THANKS!

    I especially love the insight that we judge to create distance between ourselves and the other person. I got to try out getting curious about why I was judging this week and I found my own fears of inadequacy there at the root of it. This is the best part of these interviews, when I take away something I can apply and it changes things for me in a noticeable way. Thanks!
