Thoughts, The Power of Your Mind ft. Pete Allman | Podmasana | Ep. 2
Everything starts with a thought. But what if those thoughts are the architects of your reality, the silent sculptors of your destiny?
Pete Allman, psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience, joins us to explore his book "Thoughts: The Power of Your Mind"—a unique alphabetical journey through wisdom from Aristotle to Gary Zukav. Each chapter pairs a provocative quote with practical insights drawn from Pete's work guiding clients through anxiety, depression, personal growth, and relationship challenges.
We explore powerful ideas: Aristotle's wisdom about entertaining thoughts without accepting them, Buddha's teaching that we become what we think, Einstein's insight that we can't solve problems with the thinking that created them. Through quotes from Gandhi, Jesus, Maya Angelou, Tina Turner, Oprah Winfrey, and even Yoda, Pete illuminates how belief shapes capacity and reality.
Pete's message is both empowering and challenging: like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, we possess the power to transform our lives, but first we must understand that the mind is "a wonderful servant, but a dangerous master if left unexamined." Drawing from Eastern philosophy that has informed his spiritual journey and therapeutic practice, Pete invites us to become our own gurus—to consciously connect our intentions with our experiences.
From understanding the two sources of thoughts, to processing fear's path to suffering, to applying ancient wisdom to contemporary global conflicts, this conversation offers practical tools for creating the life you want by mastering the most powerful force you possess: your mind.
Topics: Thought patterns, belief systems, consciousness, psychotherapy, Eastern philosophy, personal transformation, anxiety, depression, mindfulness, authentic power, intentional living
