The Simple Ayurveda Podcast: Episode 160



Join Angela and guest James McCrae in this episode: Finding Humor During Times of Existential Crisis.

James is a bestselling author, poet, meme artist, and founder of the wildly popular Instagram account @wordsarevibrations where he meshes together laughter and spirituality in such a gifted way. He has been leaning into art that’s native to and speaks the language of the internet. James' focus lately has been on making memes to apply the same mindset, philosophy and approach he has used to create art and poetry, sharing his message through humor to balance out all of the seriousness, divisiveness and dialogue that’s in the media right now. Angela is a huge fan of his work and is so excited to share this conversation with you!

In this episode, learn more about:
• What an existential crisis is
• The importance of finding inner peace within ourselves when the outside world is chaotic
• Simplicity of sunshine, dance, and movement, and the powerful impact they have on us
• Releasing attachment and being in a state of growth and renewal as the key to continue moving forward in life
• Shifting our focus from trying to prevent change to taking responsibility in creating a better world for all
• Using memes as a way to preserve ancient wisdom in this age of technology
• Laughter as medicine, especially at a time where things are divisive and triggering and there’s so much negative and toxic conversation happening in the world
• and more!
