Podcasts about aliveness

Are you longing to be heard--REALLY listened to? Are you stuck in a rut, old patterns that keep repeating? Do you struggle staying on task or pursuing things you feel fulfilled by? Do you wish you had someone you could talk to about life--the meaning, the purpose--someone who knows the struggle all too well, but is not lost in it themselves? I can be this person for you. I offer support, a space-holding service: neither a friend nor a therapist, but filling the gap between the two. I offer 1-on-1 calls to anyone interested. I listen deeply with compassion and non-judgment. I offer guidance and mentorship when requested. I offer space for you to untangle yourself, to find your way through a confusing, challenging world. I support you to remember JOY in your body and to bring ALIVENESS back into your life.  I am a listener, a teacher, a guide--one who believes YOU have the answers and YOU know your way (when you really listen to what's inside).

There are moments when the soul calls us forward, only to be met with waves of grief. Sophie is here with us today, navigating the tender intersection of spiritual growth and devastating loss. After ending a relationship that no longer served her, she experienced the unexpected passing of two dear friends. The mind made a painful link: that choosing herself invited punishment, and that old story rooted in childhood pain and shame began to echo louder than her soul's truth. In this session, we explore how grief and growth often arrive hand in hand, and how past programming can make us fear expansion. Sophie's field reveals the belief that vulnerability leads to punishment, and we gently unravel the ancestral and inner child wounds that contribute to this narrative. Together, we remember that grieving does not mean you're broken — it means you're human, and that letting go isn't failure, but part of your sacred unfolding. This episode is a soft, powerful invitation to move beyond black-and-white thinking, reclaim your trust in the universe, and meet yourself in the messy, beautiful middle. May it remind you that your grief is holy, your healing is valid, and your becoming is worth the unraveling.

In this episode of Courage Dear Heart, Charli explores what so many women describe as "lack of motivation," "burnout," or "brain fog", and reveals why the root cause often lies in the nervous system, not the mind. We've been taught to fix ourselves through discipline, mindset, and dopamine-driven doing. But what if what you're really experiencing is dopamine dominance and oxytocin depletion—a body wired for survival, overstimulation, and control, yet starved of safety, connection, and rest? Charli explains the deeper chemistry of the feminine nervous system and how modern life keeps us stuck in cycles of overdrive, depletion, and disconnection. You'll learn: Why control, exhaustion, and emotional overwhelm are nervous system responses, not personality flaws The difference between dopamine and oxytocin, and how imbalance impacts your energy, focus, and relationships How chronic stress mimics ADHD-like symptoms and disconnects us from rest and belonging Simple ways to begin restoring oxytocin and reconnecting with your natural rhythm of aliveness This isn't about fixing yourself; it's about remembering that your body is wise, and safety is the soil from which true vitality grows.

Most of us are busier, more “optimized,” and more connected than ever - yet somehow feel less alive. Why? And what would it look like to reclaim a deeper, wilder sense of humanness in a world obsessed with control?This week, Oliver Burkeman, bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks and Meditations for Mere Mortals, returns to explore the paradox at the heart of modern life: the more we chase mastery, certainty, and perfect systems, the more we squeeze out the very aliveness we're craving. From the illusion of control to the quiet courage of letting go, we dig into how to live fully now, not “one day when everything's sorted.”Together we explore:Aliveness vs. optimization: why feeling in control can be the enemy of feeling alive — and how to make room for vitality again.“Letting go” without giving up: Elizabeth Gilbert's reframe you're not losing control; you never had it, only anxiety.Productive discomfort tolerance: sitting with the first five messy minutes, parenting, deep work, reading, and why difficulty isn't a personal failing.Resilience as release: from kintsugi to self-trust, why strength often arrives after the break, and why gripping harder rarely works.Plans that don't kill the work: using structure as a North Star, not a taskmaster, so projects keep their spark.Spontaneity on schedule? The weird trap of “time-boxing serendipity,” and the liberating truth that every moment is a choice.Comparison culture: inside vs. outside, and why someone else's serene grid may mask chaos you can't see.AI, therapy, and the human need to be held in mind: where tools help, and where only a person will do.This is a conversation about refusing to postpone life until after the emails, the crises, or the algorithm say you're done, and choosing to show up, human and imperfect, right now.Love,Sarah Ann

His work has been featured in Harvard Business Review, The Independent and The Sunday Times.In this conversation, Steven reflects on his early pursuit of the priesthood and his lifelong inquiry into meaning, service, and aliveness. Drawing on themes from his latest book, Shadows at Work, he shares how meeting the shadow with curiosity and compassion brings wholeness, and how embracing uncertainty, silence, and kindness can lead to a more grounded, vital way of living.This conversation invites you to see the shadow not as something to fix, but as a hidden source of energy, wisdom, and aliveness.For more of Steven's work:Shadows at Work: Harness Your Dark Side and Unlock Your Leadership PotentialNot Knowing: The Art of Turning Uncertainty into OpportunityNot Doing: The Art of Effortless ActionNot Being: The Art of Self TransformationWebsite: https://stevendsouza.com/Contact me at mark@whatisagood.life if you'd like to explore your own lines of self-inquiry through 1-on-1 coaching, my 5-week group courses, or to discuss team coaching to stimulate greater trust, communication, and connection, amongst your leadership teams.- For the What is a Good Life? podcast's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife/videos- My newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/- My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/00:00 — Steven's lifelong question + year pursuing priesthood04:24 — Leaving the path & formative books (Kopp, de Mello)07:27 — Stories as truth; practice over tips10:12 — Aliveness; “I grow in my spirituality by growing in my humanity”13:01 — Bringing the vertical into the horizontal (everyday life)13:28 — Why Shadows at Work; prisons, corporate paradox, “dark mode”19:36 — “Know my shadow and my light”: beyond Jung; four lenses23:08 — Defining shadow; biology, culture, spirit lenses in practice31:02 — Personal shadow work37:04 — Paradoxical theory of change; acceptance over improvement40:43 — Negative capability (Keats)46:53 — Via negativa & subtraction; “bring silence with you”52:29 — The edge of the unknown; reactions & catastrophic thinking58:56 — What is a good life? “A kind life.”

This podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that operates “Before Psychology” — the secret source that exponentially increases peace, performance, and potential for any individual or organisation.   “You Can't Train Flow — You Can Only Stop Interrupting It”  

If you crave more moments of feeling awake and fully present, this episode reveals how aliveness is already available in the ordinary. I'll never forget a moment in Montana when everything felt so alive - the colors in the sky, my family laughing, the fire crackling. But soon I wondered, why can't I feel this at home too? That question led me to discover that aliveness isn't rare, it's simply missed when we rush past it. Today, I share how to notice it more often. Action Steps: Practice presence: Slow down and let yourself truly notice small things. Savor simple rituals: Linger over coffee, watch the sunset, or enjoy your first bites of dinner. Put the phone away: Create space to be fully there with people and experiences. Use your breath: Take slow, intentional breaths to reconnect with your body. Invite joy daily: Play music, dance, or hug someone a little longer. Join the email list for Take The Exit - Be the first to step inside the story! More from Megan YouTube | Website |  Instagram

“The concept that sits right at the heart of a sane and meaningful life,” writes Oliver Burkeman “is something like aliveness.” In this conversation we explore what it is to attend to aliveness, how we might come to notice its presence, and consider steps any of us can take to cultivate it. And we talk about how vital this is in an age where we may find ourselves encouraged in many places to become part of an algorithm - to act in life as if we were machines rather than creative beings who are part of a vast and inherently creative universe. This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. Episode Overview 00:00 Introduction 03:03 Exploring Aliveness: A Central Theme 05:54 Navigating by Aliveness: Insights and Reflections 09:10 The Distinction Between Aliveness and Happiness 11:59 Embracing the Full Spectrum of Human Experience 14:52 Creatures of Creation: Our Relationship with Life 17:55 Intimacy with Existence: The Heart of Aliveness 20:56 The Cost of Control: Reconnecting with Aliveness 27:13 The Dance of Control and Aliveness 30:01 Curiosity as a Pathway to Freedom 33:04 The Nature of Care and Connection Here's our source for this week: The Path of Aliveness The concept that sits right at the heart of a sane and meaningful life, I'm increasingly convinced, is something like aliveness. It goes by other names, too, none of which quite nail it – but it's the one thing that, so long as you navigate by it, you'll never go too far wrong. Sometimes it feels like a subtle electrical charge behind what's happening, or a mildly heightened sense of clarity, or sometimes like nothing I can put into words at all. I freely concede it's a hopelessly unscientific idea. But I'm pretty sure it's what Joseph Campbell meant when he said that most of us aren't really seeking the meaning of life, but rather “an experience of being alive… so that we actually feel the rapture” – although personally I don't think it's always rapturous, per se – “of being alive.”In literal terms, of course, “aliveness” can't be the right word here, because technically everyone's alive all the time, whereas aliveness comes and goes. Still, I know it when I feel it. And I definitely know it when my misguided efforts to exert too much control over reality cause it to drain away.  And so an excellent question to ask yourself – when you're facing a tough decision, say, or wondering if you're on the right track – is: “Does this feel like it's taking me in the direction of greater aliveness?”Crucially, aliveness isn't the same as happiness. As the Zen teacher Christian Dillo explains in his engrossing book The Path of Aliveness, you can absolutely feel alive in the midst of intense sadness. Aliveness, he writes, “isn't about feeling *better*; it's about *feeling*better.” When I feel aliveness in my work, it's not because every task is an unadulterated pleasure; and when I feel it in my close relationships, it's not because I've transcended the capacity to get annoyed by other people – because believe me, I haven't. But to whatever extent I *do* manage what Dillo refers to as fully inhabiting my experience, life is good, in a deep sense, and more vibrant, and I feel more connected to others – and overall, happiness tends to predominate…   I think it might be the key to understanding how to think and feel about AI, how to respond to it, how to integrate it into our lives or not – and how to ensure, as technology marches on, that we don't lose sight of what really matters for a meaningfully productive life.  Most obviously, aliveness is what generally feels absent from the written and visual outputs of ChatGPT and its ilk, even when they're otherwise of high quality… It makes you wonder if Wendell Berry had it right when he wrote: “It is easy for me to imagine that the next great division of the world will be between people who wish to live as creatures and people who wish to live as machines.”…  I think it's good to stay fully, even slightly foolishly, committed to the idea that humans doing human things, with other humans, is and will remain at the vital heart of human existence. Because otherwise what on earth's the point?

What does a healthy relationship look and function like? That's the focus of this 7-part series. The goal is to paint an accurate and aspirational picture of how two people behave in a conscious, loving relationship by discussing the seven components of heathy intimacy.   In this episode, you'll learn the last component of healthy intimacy: Aliveness.   The underlying purpose of a great relationship is the aliveness of the individuals in it. In other words, the reason two healthy people commit to one another is that they believe that each of them are more likely to fully grow and express their gifts by being together than they would if they were single.   “Synergy” is the only healthy reason to pursue an intimate relationship and this idea is fully explored in this episode so don't miss it.   Additional Resources Roy may have mentioned on the show:   Roy's Website: https://coachingwithroy.com   Roy's Relationship Fitness Self-Assessment Test: https://coachingwithroy.com/the-relationship-fitness-self-test/   Roy's 4 Books: ·      Quantum Questions: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4RFZBS3/ ·      Relationship Bootcamp: https://amzn.to/360UsMR ·      Attracting Lasting Love: http://amzn.to/1UnYeYh ·      A Drink with Legs: https://amzn.to/31UBl3K     Roy's Group Coaching Program: https://coachingwithroy.com/group-coaching/   Roy's Complimentary 45-min.

There's a space many of us find ourselves in: no longer who we were, not yet who we are becoming. It can feel quiet, hazy, even solemn. That's where Ami is today. She comes to us on the other side of a journey with breast cancer, doing well physically, but forever changed. She no longer fits into her old life. Her relationships feel distant. She senses a bigger calling emerging, but it hasn't revealed itself clearly yet. She's in the in-between, and unsure what to do next. In this conversation, we explore the distinction between loneliness and aloneness, how spiritual expansion can make us feel like we're losing touch with the physical world, and how the fear of being alone can sometimes mask the truth: that we're already lonely in places that no longer resonate. Together, we peel back the layers and reclaim what's true: that we're never really alone, that we're always supported, and that the next step will come, even if it's only one piece of the map at a time. This is a tender and powerful session about healing, shedding old identities, and learning to trust the whispers. I hope it helps you honor the liminal spaces in your own life, and remember that being in-between is part of the becoming.

Steve Burns is best known for being the host of a beloved 90s children’s show, Blue’s Clues, so I didn’t expect this interview to be about Samuel Beckett. But it turns out that Steve and I share a deep admiration for the writer, as well as a lot of other common ground. Steve went quiet for about two decades after rumors of his death took over the internet, and now he’s back with a podcast (Alive, which just dropped September 17). The two of us talk about listening, what people didn’t appreciate about Pee-wee Herman, and the deep, lasting importance of Sesame Street. Steve has a lot of perspective, having stood both at the center and on the outside of important, formative media that influenced so many adults today. This is a conversation about the past, for the future. Get 50% Off Monarch Money, the all-in-one financial tool at www.monarchmoney.com/FAILBETTER. Fail Better is now on YouTube!

You've probably heard someone describe a performance as "electric," or "electrifying," and may even have used that term yourself. But how does that kind of performance happen, and what does it have to tell you about your creative practice? I'll tell you in this short episode. If watching your kids build a pillow fort makes you wonder where the heck that zany, wild, playful part of yourself went...it's time to Make Bad Art.

In this powerful interview, Kelly Kolodney—renowned channeler for Archangel Raphael—joins Emilio Ortiz to deliver a timely and divine message about the massive energy shift currently transforming the planet. Together, they explore themes of unity consciousness, sacred living, and the return of ancient frequencies like the 144,000 grid. Kelly shares profound insights on decision-making from truth, channeling, and the importance of conscious creation as humanity ascends into higher vibrational timelines. They also discuss the role of plasma waves, nature's energy, and how the Mother Source Grid is reactivating the collective toward building a New Earth.Side note: The energy was so intense during our first recording attempt that my Wi-Fi completely shut off, devices glitched, and the entire system crashed. We knew this message had to come through, so we tried again—successfully. In this second, uninterrupted conversation, we explore lessons from the Kali Yuga, the rise of lightworkers, the power of authenticity, and the quantum potential of self-love and divine remembrance. This is a must-watch for anyone feeling the pull of higher purpose, sensing cosmic shifts, or anchoring sacred energy during humanity's greatest turning point.Kelly Kolodney has been a gifted channeler for Archangel Raphael since 1989, sharing divine messages of healing, transformation, and spiritual awakening with individuals and groups around the world. As the voice for The Angel Raphael, Kelly facilitates powerful transmissions that offer profound guidance on self-love, energy healing, ascension, and the evolution of human consciousness. Through her work, she helps others connect deeply with their soul's wisdom, ignite their inner light, and align with the sacred frequencies of the New Earth. ___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 - Kelly Kolodney Intro1:28 – Excitement for Global Transformation2:18 – The Bleed-Through of Timelines and Energies3:05 – Reality Glitches and the Aliveness of the Planet4:41 – What Is the Matrix? 6:35 – Lessons from Atlantis 9:08 – Did Everyone Choose the Same Timeline?10:18 – Stepping Out of Time and Moving into Presence14:08 – Humanity's Need to Slow Down16:54 – Early Teachings from Archangel Raphael19:04 – How Light and Water Are Shifting Consciousness21:02 – The Spiritual Meaning of Color24:17 – Telepathic Communication Coming Back Online29:27 – Preparing to Channel Archangel Raphael31:44 – Raphael Speaks: Humanity's Energy Field36:45 – What Happens When We Leave the Heart Space?41:40 – The Forgotten Connection with Whales and Dolphins44:37 – The Power and Purpose of the 144,00046:55 – The Mother Source Grid Activation47:07 – Lessons from the Kali Yuga 48:56 – Plasma Waves and Cellular Transformation55:26 – Which Systems Will Collapse and Which Will Evolve?58:59 – Authenticity & Quantum Timeline Leaping1:03:11 – Reflections After the Raphael Transmission1:06:49 – The Mission for Lightworkers1:08:46 – A Vision of the New Earth1:12:32 – Setting Energetic Boundaries for Protection1:19:47 – Kelly's Deepest Prayer for Humanity___________________Guest: Kelly Kolodney, Channeler for Angel Raphael✦ Website | https://theangelraphael.com/✦ YouTube Channel | ‪@theangelraphael1063‬ ✦ Master Ascension Light Codes |https://memberships.theangelraphael.c...✦ Ask an Angel | https://theangelraphael.com/ask-an-an...✦ Instagram |   / kelly_theangelraphael  Host: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG |   / iamemilioortiz  ✦ Subscribe to Channel |    / emilioortiz  ___________________© 2025 Emilio Ortiz.

In this conversation, Steph explores the concept of aliveness as a crucial measure of a fulfilling life. We all have that person in our life who we are drawn to, just because of the energy they put out. That's aliveness. She discusses how societal factors contribute to a decline in aliveness and the consequences of living in that kind of low frequency state. Steph emphasizes the importance of novelty, connection, and challenge as key elements to enhance aliveness and encourages listeners to take actionable steps towards feeling more alive.

What does it mean to own your erotic aliveness? And why do so many of us feel frozen, disconnected, or shamed out of our natural erotic essence?   In this episode of Radical Self, Thorhildur dives deep into the four words that can change everything: Owning Your Erotic Aliveness.   You'll discover:

Click here to send me a quick message :) What does it mean to be "erotically alive"? And how can connecting with the earth and your senses enhance that experience?Today's episode is a beautiful conversation with sex and relationship coach Usha Rose all about how to incorporate your relationship to plants, elements, seasons, the earth and more into your sensuality and sexuality practice.We talk what ecosensuality is, how that differs from ecosexuality, and ways to embody these practices whether you're outside or inside.We also explore the concept of sex magic and how it actually works -- as well as the best ways to work with it and why it's not essential to be at climax or orgasm to effectively use it. You can even engage this practice while dancing or exercising or even just being aroused ecosensually in nature!She says "I am not ever wasting this erotic energy because it's powerful fuel that can be directed towards healing of the planet, so at the least I'm sending a prayer with my orgasm" -- and I'm hoping this conversation inspires more of us to do this too!We are powerful creators, especially when we're in altered states. So let's spread this potential for our pleasure to bring forward a world we wish to see to those of us who deeply feel, care, and wish for a world filled with integrity, compassion, and earth connection.  We need it in these times, more than ever.Resources:Free guide: Get started tracking your cycle with FAM Get on the priority list for the Natural Contraception program!Today's shownotes: Grab Usha's self please rituals (coupon code: podcast)Episode 37: Jade eggs & the practice of pleasure w Usha RoseSupport the show

What really makes you come alive? Is it the house you live in, the title on your resume, or the milestones you have worked so hard to reach? Or is it something much more simple, like the moment you find your voice, join in song with others, or allow yourself to be seen just as you are? In this episode, I sit down with fellow TEDx Spokane speaker, Barron Peper. Barron is an architect, singer, and movement artist who designs spaces that bring us back to what matters most: connection, belonging, and our shared humanity.Barron's journey is an invitation to step out of the role of spectator in your own life and step into the song, the adventure, and the community that brings true aliveness. He reminds us that our voices matter, that we belong, and that the adventure of life is not meant to be lived alone.Takeaways from this episode:Aliveness comes from being with ourselves in truth and compassionOur spaces can either separate us or bring us togetherSinging in community heals old wounds and helps us remember we belongAdventure pushes us to our edges and shows us how to move through fearBelonging is not something we achieve, it is something we embodyConnect with Barron Peper: Website: www.arch-belong.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/barronpeper/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arch.belong/ Support the showConnect with me in the following ways:www.theadventureparadox.com FacebookInstagramcatcaldwellmyers@gmail.com

We often speak of surrender as a spiritual goal, but what if our bodies are still holding the opposite story? What if the part of us that's trying to let go is still entangled in old patterns of control, responsibility, and over-care? Cheryl is here with us today. She's been doing deep inner work for years: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. And yet, she finds herself in a familiar energetic loop, especially around her son. She's longing to surrender more fully to the divine flow of life, but something in her body is still holding on. As we drop into her field, we discover how early-life patterns of caretaking and codependency created a dynamic where control became a substitute for power, and how those old survival strategies are still shaping her present. In this episode, we explore how energetic imprints from childhood shape our adult experience, how the lower chakras hold the key to true empowerment, and how healing requires us to come back into the body; not just the mind or spirit. If you've been asking how to trust more deeply, stop fixing others, and live from your own grounded presence, I hope this episode supports you in finding your own path back to inner power.

What if the guilt and shame you carry as a mother or caretaker weren't yours to begin with?In this episode of The Big Silence, Karena Dawn sits down with Vanessa Bennett, LMFT, licensed depth therapist, and author of the new book, The Motherhood MythFrom growing up as a “parentified child” to raising her daughter with intention, Vanessa shares how generational wounds, from the “witch wound” to the “mother wound”, shape our lives in ways we may not realize. Together, they explore self-abandonment, the myth of perfection, codependency in relationships, and how to reclaim your identity through micro moments of self-choosing. Whether you're a mother, daughter, partner, or friend, this conversation offers tangible ways to break cycles, set boundaries, and follow the breadcrumbs back to yourself.How Do We Heal Generational Wounds Without Losing Ourselves?Vanessa reveals how recognizing inherited patterns and our part in them is the first step to breaking free.(00:00:22) Depth Psychology and the Path to IndividuationVanessa explains depth psychology as the “psychology of the soul,” focusing on the whole being and the unconscious.Her upbringing as a parentified child and how it shaped her initial decision not to have children.The importance of holding your upbringing objectively to heal. “They're not all bad. And also, they're not all good.”(00:06:11) The Trinity Wound: Witch, Sister, and MotherThe witch wound: epigenetic trauma silencing women's power, sexuality, and individuality.The sister wound: competition among women fueled by scarcity thinking.The mother wound: how women unconsciously uphold patriarchy and pass down harmful narratives.Why ending these cycles starts with self-awareness and modeling change for the next generation.(00:12:30) Self-Abandonment, Guilt, and Rebuilding Your Sense of SelfGuilt and shame are by design. They are tools of societal control, not signs you're broken.Accept guilt as part of the process, then act anyway.Use “micro moments” (like saying no when you mean it) as bricks in the foundation of self-trust.Following breadcrumbs: orienting toward what makes you feel alive, even if it's small or scary.(00:22:09) Codependency, Resentment, and Healthy BoundariesWe live in a codependent culture that teaches us to outsource our emotional regulation.Resentment as a diagnostic tool: a signal that a boundary is being crossed or unspoken.Attachment styles are fluid and change depending on the relationship dynamic.The link between resentment and projection and how awareness can stop the cycle.Why attraction often fades when relationships take on a parental dynamic, and how both partners can reclaim responsibility for their own happiness.(00:32:50) Friendships, Attachment Styles, and CommunicationVanessa and her co-host model conflict resolution through a commitment to talk about issues openly.The cultural trap of expecting a partner to “reparent” us and why it can kill romantic attraction.Building safety without losing mystery or eros in long-term relationships.(00:40:17) Therapy, Accessibility, and the Power of Group WorkWhy therapists need therapists, and the stigma that still exists around seeking help.Alternative paths to healing: coaches, low-cost...

What happens when the strong, successful man you became no longer feels like you? In this episode, David dives deep into the emotional cost of numbing, distraction, and guarding. Through personal stories and raw truth, he calls men back into their hearts — where real presence, power, and purpose begin.

Sometimes the moment of breakthrough is quieter than we expect. Not a grand gesture, but a tender return to a forgotten dream. Candice is here with us today, standing at the edge of her soul work, ready to share her energy healing gifts with the world. And yet, like so many of us, she's bumping up against something invisible. A stuck place. A story. What unfolds in this short, powerful session is a beautiful remembering: a teenage moment when she turned down her dream of running track to carry the weight of responsibility. In that moment, a belief was born: that what she wanted didn't matter. That dreams had to be set aside. And until now, that belief has quietly shaped how she shows up in her work. But through deep presence and a willingness to be with herself, Candice touches the wound, and transforms it. This episode is a testament to how quickly things can shift when we show up with courage. I hope it inspires you to revisit a younger part of yourself, to reclaim what you once loved, and to remember that you get to say yes. To your work, your healing, your joy.

The new book “Suspended by No String,” by Peter Himmelman, is a collection of essays, personal narratives, and poetical reflections for readers of all spiritual stripes, those who are devout and those who are unsure of what to believe, and those who may not be religious in a traditional sense.

Today is Day 1 in returning from a heart opening experience in Kenya. Today I will practice serving by being present and gratitude. I believe these intentions support the anchoring to allow the flow of our ALIVENESS to radiate more purely and unhindered. It's the gift of life. We get to choose to remember. Remembering,  Angela

In a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, we're forgetting the most sophisticated intelligence system ever created—the one inside your own body. While AI processes information, ancient intelligence processes life itself: healing wounds, creating connection, and generating the aliveness that makes existence meaningful. But here's the problem: most of us have been systematically disconnected from this intelligence since childhood, leaving us numb, anxious, and searching for answers outside ourselves.Steven Jaggers is the founder of Somatic Breath Work and a pioneer in the nervous system regulation movement. With over 3,000 practitioners trained across 40+ countries, his work is now accredited by Arizona State University for continuing education credits. A former neuromuscular therapist, Steven has spent years studying the intersection of physical alignment, emotional regulation, and human connection. His unique approach combines Eastern somatic practices with Western neuroscience to help people reclaim their birthright: the ability to feel fully alive in their own bodies.What You'll Discover• Why numbness is actually an active process that's draining your life force – and the counterintuitive truth about why it takes more energy to suppress your feelings than to feel them• The "Attunement Code": How to host another human inside yourself – the meta-skill that data shows is more healing than any technique, tool, or modality• Why your nervous system regulation isn't about staying calm – it's about developing choice, and the surprising reason most people are stuck in the anxiety-depression ping-pong cycle• The parasitic tension stealing your energy – how unconscious muscle contractions are robbing power from your healing, creativity, and aliveness (and how to redirect that energy)• Why healing trauma alone is actually impossible – the science of co-regulation and why your wounds from people can only be healed with people• The "Completion Principle" that changes everything – how somatic breathwork helps your nervous system finish the stress responses that trauma interrupted• How to tell if someone is safe using your nervous system – the congruence test that reveals when someone's words don't match their internal state• The four meta-skills of human intelligence – alignment, attunement, holding space, and range – that no AI can replicate and why mastering them is your greatest advantage in the age of artificial intelligenceYour Invitation to AlivenessYour nervous system holds the key to healing, connection, and true aliveness—if you know how to access it. In this episode, Steven distills years of research and client work into practical insights you can use right away. Whether you're facing anxiety, feeling off, or seeking more from life, this is your roadmap. Tune in and discover why your ancient intelligence may be the most vital skill of the decade.Connect with Steven – Instagram: @jaggersjrWebsite: https://go.somabreath.com/Legal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Sometimes healing demands a full-life transformation; one that doesn't always make sense to the people around us, or even to our past selves. But what happens when you finally say yes to you, no matter what? Abby is here with us today. After a debilitating health crisis caused by years of mold exposure, she's been on a powerful journey of self-reclamation, leaving behind old patterns, family dynamics, and even her home state to begin again. In this reading, we explore how ancestral wounds and childhood patterns created energetic blocks in her root and heart chakras, and how those unresolved stories have shaped how she relates to her body, her purpose, and her ability to receive love. But what emerges most powerfully is the truth that Abby chose herself. Not just in healing her body, but in honoring her soul. And that changes everything. If you're standing at a crossroads, unsure what's next or how to make sense of a big life shift, I hope this episode reminds you that choosing yourself isn't selfish; it's sacred.

In this thought-provoking episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Jayne Gottlieb—vitality coach, embodiment guide, and founder of Aspen Shakti and the Alive Culture app. Together, they explore why aliveness is no longer a luxury but a necessity in today's high-speed, burnout-driven world. Jayne shares how movement, breath, and subtle shifts in awareness can reconnect us to our true vitality, helping us move from numbness to a fully embodied life. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone stuck in autopilot. About the GuestJayne Gottlieb is a vitality coach, yoga and embodiment teacher, and founder of the Alive Culture app and Aspen Shakti. Known for her pioneering approach to somatic movement and self-liberation, Jayne's work blends breath, rhythm, dance, and mindfulness to unlock deep-seated aliveness. She is passionate about making vitality accessible—not just aspirational—and building community around the ethos of embodied living.   Key Takeaways Aliveness isn't a reward—it's our birthright.

So many of us start a business with passion, vision, and purpose. But along the way, we hit a wall: something unseen that seems to keep us stuck, unseen, or unable to grow. And often, that “something” lives deep in our energetic field, rooted in the past, asking to be seen before we can move forward. Genevieve is here with us today. She's seeking guidance on how to attract more aligned clients into her travel business, and immediately Spirit brings us back to an earlier wound: years of bullying that caused her to close her heart and dim her light. In this reading, we uncover how her protective patterns are still active, especially around visibility, and we do energetic work to help her retrieve parts of herself that were lost or hidden in those early experiences. We also explore the deep connection between our healing path and our business journey, and how doing the inner work can unlock new timelines, clarity, and transformation. If you're on a soul-led business journey and feel like something unseen is holding you back, I hope this episode reminds you that your past does not have to dictate your future; and that your willingness to heal is the key to expansion.

This was not always a conscious endeavor for me, yet she pulled at my heart and led me on adventures far and wide and wild. She has taught me to live by spirals and wheels and cycles. To live each day as a ritual, knowing that I am the source of my life. Everything comes FROM me and that my obstacles are actually the path to living an even greater and wilder existence. She has shown me that true LEADERS rally for and with life, not against it. So, now I live in devotion to a higher standard of ALIVENESS for us all.   You can find more resources at the links below…   Website: http://www.SarahNoble.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/awakened.embodied.empowered/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/awakened.embodied.empowered Substack: https://snoble.substack.com/ Email: Hello@SarahNoble.com

I, Stewart Alsop, am thrilled to welcome Xathil of Poliebotics to this episode of Crazy Wisdom, for what is actually our second take, this time with a visual surprise involving a fascinating 3D-printed Bauta mask. Xathil is doing some truly groundbreaking work at the intersection of physical reality, cryptography, and AI, which we dive deep into, exploring everything from the philosophical implications of anonymity to the technical wizardry behind his "Truth Beam."Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps01:35 Xathil explains the 3D-printed Bauta Mask, its Venetian origins, and its role in enabling truth through anonymity via his project, Poliepals.04:50 The crucial distinction between public identity and "real" identity, and how pseudonyms can foster truth-telling rather than just conceal.10:15 Addressing the serious risks faced by crypto influencers due to public displays of wealth and the broader implications for online identity.15:05 Xathil details the core Poliebotics technology: the "Truth Beam," a projector-camera system for cryptographically timestamping physical reality.18:50 Clarifying the concept of "proof of aliveness"—verifying a person is currently live in a video call—versus the more complex "proof of liveness."21:45 How the speed of light provides a fundamental advantage for Poliebotics in outmaneuvering AI-generated deepfakes.32:10 The concern of an "inversion," where machine learning systems could become dominant over physical reality by using humans as their actuators.45:00 Xathil's ambitious project to use Poliebotics for creating cryptographically verifiable records of biodiversity, beginning with an enhanced Meles trap.Key InsightsAnonymity as a Truth Catalyst: Drawing from Oscar Wilde, the Bauta mask symbolizes how anonymity or pseudonyms can empower individuals to reveal deeper, more authentic truths. This challenges the notion that masks only serve to hide, suggesting they can be tools for genuine self-expression.The Bifurcation of Identity: In our digital age, distinguishing between one's core "real" identity and various public-facing personas is increasingly vital. This separation isn't merely about concealment but offers a space for truthful expression while navigating public life.The Truth Beam: Anchoring Reality: Poliebotics' "Truth Beam" technology employs a projector-camera system to cast cryptographic hashes onto physical scenes, recording them and anchoring them to a blockchain. This aims to create immutable, verifiable records of reality to combat the rise of sophisticated deepfakes.Harnessing Light Speed Against Deepfakes: The fundamental defense Poliebotics offers against AI-generated fakes is the speed of light. Real-world light reflection for capturing projected hashes is virtually instantaneous, whereas an AI must simulate this complex process, a task too slow to keep up with real-time verification.The Specter of Humans as AI Actuators: A significant future concern is the "inversion," where AI systems might utilize humans as unwitting agents to achieve their objectives in the physical world. By manipulating incentives, AIs could effectively direct human actions, raising profound questions about agency.Towards AI Symbiosis: The ideal future isn't a human-AI war or complete technological asceticism, but a cooperative coexistence between nature, humanity, and artificial systems. This involves developing AI responsibly, instilling human values, and creating systems that are non-threatening and beneficial.Contact Information*   Polybotics' GitHub*   Poliepals*   Xathil: Xathil@ProtonMail.com

They have a birthday, they've had 50 of them. They've never genuinely celebrated and felt an integrated life." - Brendon BurchardRenowned high performance coach Brendon Burchard explains why many high achievers remain emotionally unfulfilled despite their success. He points to our society's tendency to demonize success and the widespread belief that celebrating personal wins equals ego as factors preventing people from emotionally processing their accomplishments.Brendon shares his profound insight that what all humans ultimately seek is "aliveness" - that feeling of vitality from meaningful pursuits. The problem arises when people chase goals lacking personal significance, playing games that "don't matter" because of societal conditioning. True wealth, he reveals, lies not in mindless achievement but in discovering what brings you alive and holds genuine meaning.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

We arrive in presence by deepening attention in the body; relaxing and awakening through a body scan. That presence deepens as we bring our attention to the space of awareness that includes the changing flow of sounds, sensations and feelings. In that wholeness of formlessness and form, we discover our natural being - open, awake and tender.
