The Unshakable Man

Today, on the show I invite Benjamin Roth to reflect on his experience of being in The Unshakable Man Community for over a year. Benjamin's been showing up consistently and regularly reminds himself and other men that this work is a practice and you can always restart or start again where you are. Thank you Ben for coming on the show to share how this work has been meaningful for you. It's through men like you, sharing your own experience that men find this work. If you feel alone on your journey or you are searching for a conscious group of men to practice your self-leadership skills - enroll in our next cohort or join The Unshakable Man Community at unshakableman.comShow Notes:(04:18): Definition for Somatic Self-Leadership Training(09:47): Mastering Martial Arts(13:57): Exploring Brave Spaces(23:46): Awareness of Ourselves(33:24): Memorable Experiences(39:02): Expressing Feelings(47:39): Self-Leadership (54:31): Appreciate Learning Skills(01:00:09): The Unshakable Man Community Structure  Connect with Chris:Website: https://www.unshakableman.com/Request a FREE Drop In Pass: https://theunshakablemanstudio.ck.page/370f0f5b57Studio Membership:  https://app.heymarvelous.com/unshakableman/buy/product/38863Studio Calendar: https://www.unshakableman.com/calendarSuccess Stories: https://www.unshakableman.com/testimonialsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisleewilson/

We define Somatic Self Leadership Training as the art and practice of dropping out of the head and into the body, learning to become the primary caretaker for your parts of Self, and being a courageous open-hearted man and leader. But what does that really mean? Today, I sit down with Brain Fritz. He's been showing up and practicing in The Unshakable Man Community for over 52 weeks, he's going through a 200-hour yoga teacher training and he's a self-described intellectual that realized he used his intellectual capacity as a shield. By his assessment, something is different about the way we do this somatic work together in the community as men. I thought he was the perfect man to invite on to the show to have a conversation about the work we do. As always we recorded this episode in the hope that it inspires more men to start to begin the journey inward and to join a community like The Unshakable Man. Please send us your reflections, feedback, and questions about the episode, and if you are curious to join us in our next cohort go to UnshakableMan.com to learn more. Show Notes: (00:02): What is Somatic Self Leadership Training? (03:27): Fundamentals of Human Experience (12:29): Bringing Awareness into Your Body(20:20): Fundamental Nature of Your Existence (27:27): Emotional Awareness and Consciousness(38:26): Recognizing and Learning Peoples' Language(41:21): Learning Your Personality(52:57): Somatic Meditation(1:04:50):  Somatic Self Leadership Training SummaryConnect with Brian: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_bfrizz/Connect with Chris:Website: https://www.unshakableman.com/Request a FREE Drop In Pass: https://theunshakablemanstudio.ck.page/370f0f5b57Studio Membership:  https://app.heymarvelous.com/unshakableman/buy/product/38863Studio Calendar: https://www.unshakableman.com/calendarSuccess Stories: https://www.unshakableman.com/testimonialsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisleewilson/

Welcome to Unshakable Man Breathwork. This class is designed as an intro for men who are doing their first three sessions. In the class, I walk through some of the common things you need to know when just getting started. I invite you to repeatedly come back to this session whenever you want to renew your practice. These sessions are recorded so you can fit them into your shila. Every time you return to a guided meditation you get to see yourself, your practice, and what is shared in the session in a new way.Join our brotherhood of conscious men at unshakableman.com

If you feel like you've lost touch with your practice or you've felt resistance to allowing yourself to show up, whether that be in a check-in group, breathwork, or the core practice of meditation. Today is for you.I invite you to repeatedly come back to this session whenever you feel resistance to your practice. These sessions are recorded so you can fit them into your shila and your schedule. Every time you return to a guided meditation you get to see yourself, your practice, and what is shared in the session in a new way.One of the most challenging parts of the journey is when we get caught in our logical thinking mind and begin to question returning to our meditation cushion, our men's group or our breathwork session.There are so many wonderful ways to cope with the common stressors of life but these practices are different than all the others. What's different about them? We are learning to “Be with”… in this way we are not coping. We are learning to transmute, to work with, and to let go. For this to happen we need an empty container designed to create a space to be with what we experiencing.The key here is “being with” we are not escaping or trying to get away we are arriving in a space to practice allowing, opening, letting go, and surrendering to practice being with whatever is present for us at the moment.Full show notes and links www.unshakableman.com/blog/tum-breathwork-resistance-amp-returning-to-your-practice Join our brotherhood of conscious men at unshakableman.comChris

We are always motivated, either in a positive or negative sense, so it is up to us to figure out how we are motivated and what is really going on that is making us feel motivated or not.  If you are listening as part of the Unshakable Man Group Coaching Program – you can ask questions in the Facebook group and reference the episode number.

Hey guys, Welcome to the Unshakable Man Podcast: A show and community for men who want to be their best emotional, mental, physical and spiritual versions of themselves. Today's show is in the category of healthy masculinity. Since 2008, Jeff Perera has been working to build bridges of understanding across our oceans of difference, having spoken to tens of thousands of people across North America about our ideas of being a man today and empathy-building.

You can read written pieces, listen to podcast conversations, and watch interviews with Jeff over at HigherUnlearning.com, which is an online space exploring how limiting ideas of manhood impact us all in everyday life. Jeff's work is to help nurture brave spaces for real discussion, inspiring people to challenge our gendered ideas of success and failure and to be the lesson in action.
