On this episode of In the Naad, Taylor Stein sits down with Dr. Miles Reid, who spent years as a close apprentice to Carlos Castaneda before eventually becoming a doctor specializing in functional medicine.

Miles shares what it was like to work directly with Castaneda and how those years shaped the way he understands perception, awareness, and healing. A central idea from that training still guides him today: being open requires energy. The brain naturally wants to conserve energy, so expanding perception or allowing in new possibilities actually requires a conscious expenditure of energy.

Taylor and Miles explore Castaneda’s teachings, the discipline behind expanding awareness, and why ideas once considered esoteric are beginning to intersect with modern conversations around consciousness and health.

It’s a rare conversation about apprenticeship, perception, and the bridge between ancient knowledge and modern medicine.
