Ep. 5 “Perception play”
Zooming in the Lens
04/20/15 • 68 min
In episode #5 Katrina and Sass play with all the different perceptions (including their own differences) of large and small topics which can help to understand why we may have some blocks to hearing new perceptions. Katrina shares a funny story about how she was “caught” in her ego-mind in traffic – all work and no play makes Katrina a psycho. “What does God mean to you?” is a question Katrina has asked some listeners & she shares their varying perceptions. Also joining them around the 1/2 way point of this episode is guest Tommy Stewart to share his story of perception on the road as the drummer for Godsmack. We all get “caught”, even people who practice for many years – its not about being perfect, instead these practices are about adding consciousness, awareness and cultivating the witness so you can use it AS practice.

Ep. 4 “All retch and no vomit”
Zooming in the Lens
04/09/15 • 60 min
In the 4th episode of Zooming in the Lens, Katrina and Sass share stories of mind-chatter and offer some tools to witness the inner dialogue rather then become it. And as usual, the girls are laughing at themselves and each other, as they open to everyone as a practice. The ego-mind....”all retch and no vomit”. What a great disguse our beautiful minds can be!

WARNING: Have you SPOKEN to an 11-year old boy in 2016? If not, you may want to skip the first 20 minutes! Our guest is 11-yr old “FROG” again, who first assumes the role of shock-jock, dropping bombs on sex, suicide, porn and some curse words (trust me, his parents are taking care of it!) Nevertheless, things HAVE changed since we were kids! This is our version of “Kids say the most ****** ** things!”
Frog has great parents but does struggle with labels like ADHD and behavioral issues. Just as we picked our jaw off the floor, this wise and curious, existential FROG appeared...grab your sense of humor and a notepad as this 11-year old, explains “how life is a mystery – God gives us a choice at the end of life to be a ghost or reincarnate (did you know being a ghost is an actual JOB?) He ponders death, mediums – “coincidence or connected?” How “God is in EVERYTHING,” and “what if Jesus isn’t God’s son but just a really nice guy in a long white robe?” He shares how ”Life is a game and death is an amazing thing, I can’t wait to see everybody”... okay, enough teasers ya’ll. Get off social media right now and step into the curious mind of the philosopher, FROG.

Ep.29 *Part 2 – Earth creature in its natural habitat (Tommy Stewart)
Zooming in the Lens
06/14/16 • 51 min
Part 2 ~ Tommy is a yogi in practice as most of us participating and listening are too. Tommy spent his life as a recording and touring drummer in bands with enough success to pack arena’s in and out of the U.S. Presently, he zooms his passions into another arena, turning him on for over 30 years – personal training with his company “Functional Body Movement”. Being a personal trainer, these topics may appear slightly out of the norm – that is if you’re on board with mainstream prevailing societal definitions of the words “health” and “conscious.” Health conscious people don’t normally ponder and chat about drugs, legalization, and investigation through experience. Or do they?
Visit with Katrina and Tommy as they continue their chat and discuss how neuroscience has identified some powerful medical uses of psychedelics, and a personal story Tommy shares of his experience with the “ritual” of DMT. The title of this episode inspired by the TV show “The Twilight Zone.” Cultivating the witness feels like activating a loving presence to self-questioning, to ask ”who in us is doing the seeking” and in regards to this topic, perhaps... “who in us is using the drug.”
The title of this episode is inspired by an episode of “The Twilight Zone.” Cultivating the witness feels like activating a loving presence for self-questioning as the twilight zone ep. reminded us ”who in us is doing the seeking” -regarding this topic, “who in us is using the drug.” Anotherwards, what is the intention behind the use.
CREDITS ~ intro and outro includes public access audio of an amazing lecture on this topic, of the amazing Timothy Leary. Thank you for giving Katrina words that match her intentions to use these podcasts as her personal practice.

Ep. 27 – A Passover talk with Aunt Shirley
Zooming in the Lens
04/28/16 • 120 min
A Marathon With Katrina Chester & Cara Albero. Cara in NY joins Katrina in LA for an impromptu practice! Aren’t those the best though? With Passover honored this week, the topic of family naturally arrived. Cara shares her recent practice moment involving her mom and her aunt Shirley related to relationships and the navigation of practice when reactions of obligation and guilt arrive. Katrina shares her beginner amazement after diving into one of the five books of Moses (Exodus) from the Jewish Bible. “I am so honored that now I can open up to ancient wisdom from many religious teachings. Way more than I was exposed to growing up, and once only seen through my individual lens of limits. Please pardon my naive, but heartfelt, interpretation fueled by excitement of the symbology of another profound living, breathing road map” As Ram Dass might say “an accomplishment for an Italian girl from NY” – Maybe someday we can live in a world where all, no matter what Religion, what is heard in “Good Pesach” is a message of compassion for one another because we have all felt “passed over” or a lack of Freedom, from something at some point in each of our lives.” ~ Katrina Chester
~ Apologies for the length! Maybe listen in parts! Good thing Passover IS a week long ~

Hank is not your average Pastor. In these episodes, many topics are sparked which at the core can inspire us to widen our lens by looking underneath what we think we know, and who we think we and others are. The growing popular term “spiritual but not religious” is a clue of imbalance and our separation. With direct experience & opening to alternative perspectives, personally and collectively, change can occur. It takes enormous energy to push beliefs and agendas. By sharing and learning from one another, energy springs free to create inner-vision – an ability to interpret belief as a taste of what something is like, rather than what it is. Symbols and metaphors come alive; deeper meanings become a golden thread of intention. “Being stuck” in belief is a human problem, not a soul problem. ZITL comes together for all the spiritual and religious minded, for discoveries that can open us to learn from one another. Practicing awareness and personal responsibility is a vehicle for change.
We are honored Hank joined us for this hang! See the huge efforts of service and change Hank and his family have created by going to www.AdoptTogether.org, And don’t forget to learn more about how YOU can participate in World Adoption Day on Nov. 9th!

Ep.15 “lets get small, average, and great”
Zooming in the Lens
09/24/15 • 89 min
Katrina Chester is joined by fellow spiritualist and dear friend, Cara Albero, for this episode diving into a well-known quote for discovery. A practice of seeing, through investigation, how pliable and fluid a belief, opinion, and interpretation, really are when clinging is softened. When we experience thoughts that seem to be so solid; becoming fluid (like changing our mind), that creates safe space. Not to throwing out roles in life, unless that indeed happens – but to develop a new relationship to our roles, and how we may be holding others in theirs. Creating relationship (conscious awareness; taking requires a giving back) is one gift a spiritual practice (yoga, martial arts, doing the dishes!) gives back to us. Thank you for your patience with episode 15 too! Lots of shifts, lots of time for practice and change. We are right there with those of you listening that are knee deep in yours as well. with love to those we get to share with, thank you for the continued practice.

...is a saying for “time to go to work”! Who doesn’t want the ability to do what they love for work/career, but what if you don’t know what you love? Sass and Katrina explore this topic, as it leads to some meatier thoughts on “intentions, motivations and beliefs” through their lens of practice. Is it better to grow up knowing or is it better to not know? One says “maybe yes”- one says “maybe not”! From tour buses to ashrams – with a lot of laughter – welcome to the 2nd episode of Zooming in the Lens.
