Wu Wei Wisdom Podcast
The Wu Wei Wisdom Podcast is a weekly conversation about life challenges and life lessons, emotional and spiritual health issues, and tools to help you live in effortless flow - ‘wu wei’.
The ancient Taoist principle of wu wei is little understood in the West, and we believe it’s the secret to health and happiness in modern life!
Your hosts are David James Lees, an ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher and consultant, and Alexandra Lees, a mindset and business coach.
If you are suffering from emotional pain, stress or depression; struggling with self-criticism or self-doubt; seeking a more satisfying life balance, relationships or career; or searching for a deeper sense of meaning and fulfilment in your life - you are not alone.
We want to help you better understand yourself, regain control of your mind, body, and emotions, and inspire you to reconnect with your true self and purpose.
Each episode blends spiritual and philosophical ideas and insight with our real-life professional experience supporting clients worldwide.
New episodes every Saturday.

How to Tame Your Monkey Mind | Tao Dialogues
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the thoughts you trust most are the very thing keeping you anxious? Discover the Taoist way to quiet overthinking, calm the monkey mind, and return to inner peace.
In this Tao Dialogues episode, discover the Taoist wisdom for taming the monkey mind and breaking free from overthinking, worry, anxiety, and the need to control life. Learn how the monkey mind is driven by fear, how Shen (authentic self) offers calm, clarity, and truth, and why practising wu wei helps you find lasting inner peace. If you're ready to stop believing every thought and start living with greater presence, authenticity, and emotional freedom, this teaching will show you how.
