Our Inherent Divinity with Bruce Burger

Polarity Therapy & Inherent Divinity with Bruce Burger

In this rich and contemplative conversation, Bruce Burger—author of Esoteric Anatomy: The Body as Consciousness and founder of the Heartwood Institute—joins us to explore Polarity Therapy as a path to healing, embodiment, and the realization of our inherent divinity.

Bruce shares his journey from disillusionment with the Western materialist paradigm to decades immersed in the spiritual lineages of India, studying with teachers such as Osho, S.N. Goenka, Papaji, Satya Sai Baba, and Vanamali Mataji. Through the lens of Samkhya philosophy, he explains how suffering arises from a loss of self-knowledge—and how energetic healing can reconnect us to joy, presence, and wholeness.

We explore how the body is a field of polarities—self-organizing and self-correcting—and how true healing occurs when we create sacred space to be fully present in the body.

Topics we explore:

• What Polarity Therapy is and why it’s deeply relevant today
• The role of sacred space and therapeutic presence in healing
• Samkhya philosophy: the root of suffering and the path to realization
• Bruce’s experiences with India’s spiritual adepts and healers
• The human body as an ecstatic, conscious field of energy
• How trauma can resolve through embodied presence and attunement

This episode is a poetic and powerful invitation to rediscover the sacredness of your body and the joy of being fully alive.
