Introducing: Alec Zeck to The New Monks Podcast. I found Alec on Instagram in 2020 speaking up and out on the injustices and manipulation that have been taking place. Finding solace in his words as someone else who sees things in the same way with the lifting of the veil. Alec went through a lot of his own personal experiences with the health industry with his Mum and his wife; constant subscription of different medications that never seemed to work and then finally finding true healing through a holistic practioner also known to some as, 'pseudo-science'. This led him into an array of questioning including that of his own existence, exploring why he does what he does and landed himself in the 'I don't know who I am' stage, a very powerful part of the process indeed.
The shifts all happened quite rapidly over the past few years leading into 2020 where he was able to see what was coming due to his own experience with the health industry. He predicted that injections for all would become a thing in February 2020 and has been speaking out since then. He later founded Health Freedom for Humanity, a platform that supports what is says in the title and brings like-minded individuals together for the freedom of health. A very neccessary initiative. Alec talks us through his own personal revelations with the big shifts that we are all going through to some decree in our lives. We also speak about the battle between good and evil, why it is important and needed for our evolution to take place and how to come to peace with it internally. Super insightful conversation, I am so grateful to get to know the man behind the words. Hope you enjoy!
We welcome Antarma in this episode to share his journey with us. Travelling through various different practices from the Sufi, Hindu, Shamanic, and African traditions, he then finds his way focusing on one path. Antarma is a musician and is inspired by many guru's, yogi's and yogini's. Watch out for the release of his debut album in summer 2021.
This is quite a philosophical conversation about accepting each other and our different paths, getting in touch with the divine mother, remembering beauty and joy, coming back to your centre, the play between the divine masculine and feminine and his journey into music and mantra from a young age. Hope you enjoy this super insightful episode.
Lama tells us about her wondrous journey into healing her auto-immune disease through the use of plants. Her illness was triggered by one singular traumatic event and she was chronically ill for 10 years, finally being diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis.
Regardless of her doctor's advice on taking immunosuppressive drugs for the rest of her life, she temporarily left her job and followed her heart to Columbia to heal through plant medicines instead. This is a beautiful journey of Lama connecting with nature, with herself, finding her true nature and purpose and becoming more whole on this journey of being human.
[This episode was filmed in Mumbai, apologies for the Indian surround sound throughout which kind of adds to the atmosphere].
Chant your heart out. Roshmin talks to us about how he stumbled into his Buddhist chanting practice that he has been keeping up for the past 12 years and how it changed many aspects of who he was.

Emm discusses her awakening journey with us in this episode, which was triggered by a life-changing incident where she was almost sexually assaulted. The direction of her life and who she defined herself to be crumbled after this point and she had to build herself up anew.

Enjoy the episode.
