In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Yusuf\u00a0sits down with Dr. Jonathan Locust Jr. to explore consciousness as a lived experience shaped by burnout, health challenges, and recovery. You will hear why \u201cknowing\u201d is not the same as \u201cexperiencing,\u201d and how awareness can expand through intentional practice.\nThis conversation is for anyone feeling disconnected, questioning identity, or trying to lead and live with more clarity in a demanding world. Dr. Locust shares how fasting, meditation, and mind body spirit integration can unlock deeper fields of awareness and a more grounded sense of meaning.\nAbout the Guest:\nDr. Jonathan Locust Jr. is the founder of ConsiRise. He has worked as a graduate professor, researcher, and former vice president of inclusive excellence, and he blends academic thinking with lived spiritual exploration.\nKey Takeaways:\n\n\nConsciousness is often oversimplified because most people never learn it experientially\n\n\nMind, body, and spirit work as one system, growth in one area alone creates blind spots\n\n\nPractices like meditation can expand \u201cfields of awareness,\u201d not just calm the mind\n\n\nA long fast can reveal how intention and willpower shape the body and perception\n\n\nConnection to nature can become a real-time anchor when energy drops or doubt rises\n\n\nTry a grounding visualization: connect your spine to the Earth, release heavy emotions, receive steadier energy\n\n\nHow to Connect With the Guest:\n\n\nWebsite:\u00a0https://www.conscirise.com/\u00a0LinkedIn\u00a0|\u00a0Instagram\u00a0|\u00a0YouTube\n\nLearn more about ConsciRise and join the community for conscious seekers and practitioners.\n\nFacebook\n\n\nWant to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life/The Mindful Journey?
