What if the first step in healing isn't a new supplement or test—but learning how to feel safe in your own body? In this episode, I'm guiding you through the foundational (yet often overlooked) first step in any healing journey: regulating your nervous system. We explore why your body can't heal when it's stuck in fight-or-flight, how to recognize the subtle signs of chronic stress, and the ancient rituals that help us come back home to ourselves—starting with the breath. I also share the deeply personal story of how my own health unraveled in my 20s—despite doing “everything right”—and how it took walking away from the noise of modern wellness to remember what healing truly feels like. This episode is an invitation to soften. To get curious. To stop chasing protocols and start listening to your inner wisdom. We'll walk through breathwork, circadian rhythms, and the power of building your own sanctuary for rest—because you deserve to feel good again. If your symptoms feel confusing, your stress feels constant, or you just need a moment of grounding... this is for you.

In this compelling episode of What Are You Made Of?, host Mike "C-Roc" sits down with renowned Taoist monk, doctor, and filmmaker Dr. Pedram Shojai for a deeply introspective and enlightening conversation. From escaping Iran during the revolution to becoming a student of global spiritual traditions—including Taoism, Buddhism, Kabbalah, and Sufism—Dr. Shojai shares how his early search for truth and healing led him beyond traditional medicine into the realms of energy, consciousness, and self-mastery. The two dive into the pitfalls of modern spiritual marketing, the importance of personal agency in health and healing, and the dangers of avoiding emotional confrontation. Dr. Shojai also reflects on his studies with legendary teachers, his experiences with the Dalai Lama, and how the simplest practices—like silence, breathwork, and time in nature—can unlock profound wisdom. This episode is a powerful reminder that true transformation doesn't come from products or gurus, but from within.Website-https://theurbanmonk.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drpedramshojai/?hl=en

The ancient world possessed wealth creation secrets so powerful that entire civilizations thrived for millennia using principles we've completely forgotten. While modern financial education teaches us to work harder, save more, and invest smarter, our ancestors understood something far more profound - that true wealth flows according to universal laws that operate beyond mere strategy and effort. You see, there's a reason why ancient Egypt's prosperity lasted over 3,000 years while modern economies collapse every few decades. There's a reason why traditional societies created abundance that sustained entire communities, while today we have more financial information than ever before yet most people still struggle with money. There's a reason why some individuals seem to effortlessly attract wealth while others work twice as hard for half the results. The ancients understood that wealth isn't just about what you do - it's about how you align with the fundamental forces that govern abundance itself. These weren't abstract philosophical concepts taught in temples. They were practical, tested systems used by Egyptian merchants, Hindu traders, Sufi mystics, and Celtic druids to create sustainable prosperity that lasted generations. But here's what's fascinating: this knowledge wasn't lost by accident. When great libraries were destroyed, when ancient civilizations fell, when traditional wisdom was replaced by modern systems, something profound was buried along with it - the complete understanding of how wealth actually works at its deepest level. Today, you're going to rediscover what your ancestors knew. I'm going to reveal thirteen forgotten wealth laws that predate every modern financial system, every contemporary economic theory. These laws work because they align with how the universe actually operates, not just how we've been taught to think about money. 

Hey guys! Welcome to the Fellowship Greenville Students podcast. Today you find us in a series called Ancient Wisdom. Every day we have many decisions to make. At each crossroads, we can try to things on our own and lean into our own wisdom or look to God for what he might say. When we try to do things on our own, it tends to not go very well. When we follow God's wisdom, we find that the path is true and good. We'll talk more about how this plays out in life during the month of June. Follow along and we hope you enjoy this message.Speaker: Stephen Whitacre

How to Sleep Like a Caveman: Ancient Wisdom for a Better Night's Rest―Based on the Evolutionary Science of Sleep from Saber-Toothed Tigers to Modern Insomnia by Merijn van de Laar https://www.amazon.com/How-Sleep-Like-Caveman-Ancient/dp/0063430177 Sapiens meets Why We Sleep in an evolutionary romp through the science of sleep—and how we can get better rest—by one of the world's leading sleep scientists. We spend roughly a third of our lives in bed, but for millions of us, not all of that time is spent sleeping. We strive for eight hours per night, only to lie awake thanks to stress, our ever-present devices, a new baby, or that 4pm coffee you thought you needed. As sleep scientist and recovering insomniac Merijn van de Laar shows, we're hardly the first to experience this. When homo sapiens evolved hundreds of thousands of years ago, when saber-toothed tigers were their biggest nighttime worry, wakefulness served to protect one's tribe at night. Research shows these episodic sleep patterns even gave our ancestors an evolutionary advantage. We can look to their example for guidance in improving our sleep health, too: how our sleep patterns change as we age, the benefits of communal sleep, the importance of environmental factors such as temperature and light. While our myriad gadgets may distinguish us from early humans, understanding the ways our brains evolved to rest can chart the course toward a better night's sleep. Drawing from emerging science, archeological research into our ancestors' habits, and close observation of contemporary hunter-gatherer cultures, How to Sleep Like a Caveman explains everything from why we sometimes jerk awake at night—likely a remnant of having slept in trees—to why our efforts to “optimize” our sleep schedules might just be a fool's errand. The result is a surprising, accessible new framework for thinking about sleep—the way we were designed to.

With a unique blend of ancient Buddhist wisdom and contemporary insights, Margaret explores how anger not only affects our personal lives but also ripples through our relationships and society at large. Throughout the episode, we uncover the many facets of anger and its consequences, from the profound impact it has on our physical appearance—turning us "ugly" both inside and out—to the emotional toll it takes on our ability to rest peacefully. Margaret emphasizes that anger can disrupt our sleep and lead to mental unrest, preventing us from finding peace even in the safest environments. We also discuss the professional ramifications of unchecked anger, highlighting how it can jeopardize careers, ruin reputations, and ultimately undermine the wealth we've worked so hard to build. Moreover, the episode discusses how anger can lead to social isolation, as those consumed by it often find themselves distanced from friends, family, and colleagues. As Margaret points out, impaired decision-making is a significant risk when anger clouds our judgment, leading to irrational choices that may have lasting negative consequences. The conversation becomes even more critical as we connect these ancient teachings to our current societal challenges, particularly in a time of political and social upheaval. To address these challenges, Margaret offers practical strategies for managing anger, encouraging listeners to cultivate self-control, discernment, and a "right view." She advocates for transforming emotional responses from reactive to constructive, especially in the context of social movements and protests. Ultimately, this episode of the Death Dhamma Podcast serves as a powerful reminder that while anger is a natural human emotion, its unchecked expression can lead to more harm than good. Tune in to learn how to channel that fire within more mindfully for healthier relationships and a more peaceful life.

Ep 200 One World in a New World with Anthony NayaganThe Infinite Within: Mysticism, Leadership & Conscious Systems

Rev. Wendy Craig Purcell's message from the "Ancient Wisdom, Modern Lives" series, emphasizes that deepening faith involves questioning, healing, and evolving beyond rigid beliefs.

Hey guys! Welcome to the Fellowship Greenville Students podcast. Today you find us in a series called Ancient Wisdom. Every day we have many decisions to make. At each crossroads, we can try to things on our own and lean into our own wisdom or look to God for what he might say. When we try to do things on our own, it tends to not go very well. When we follow God's wisdom, we find that the path is true and good. We'll talk more about how this plays out in life during the month of June. Follow along and we hope you enjoy this message.Speaker: Ben Lubkin

You're doing everything right, staying productive, chasing growth, keeping up. But what if the discomfort you feel isn't a sign that you need to do more, but a signal to let go?

Ancient wisdom, wrapped in poetry, that somehow feels more relevant every year. Like this line: “If you look to others for happiness, you will never be happy. If your well-being depends on money, you will never be content.“Simple. Clear. Actually useful.I've teamed up with Rebind.ai to create an interactive edition of the Tao—forty essential verses, translated into plain, everyday language, with space to reflect, explore, and ask questions. It's like having a conversation not just with the Tao, but with me too.

In this heartfelt and vulnerable episode of The Midlife Purpose Project, Katie explores the foundational yogic principle of Ahimsa — the practice of nonviolence — and why cultivating inner balance is essential for living a compassionate, purposeful life.After taking a much-needed pause last week (and walking her talk), Katie opens up about feeling out of balance and the powerful reminder that busyness does not equal worthiness. She shares how this cultural myth often disconnects us from our bodies, our emotions, and our spiritual center — leaving us feeling exhausted and empty.You'll learn:Why yoga is more than poses — it's a system rooted in ethical and spiritual guidelines known as the Yamas and NiyamasHow Ahimsa (nonviolence) is about more than avoiding harm — it's about choosing kindness, compassion, and balanceThe hidden ways we cause harm to ourselves and others through thoughts, words, and actionsWhy balance is the foundation of peace, and how the inner world shapes the outer worldHow to begin restoring balance by listening to your body, setting boundaries, and reframing disempowering situationsKatie invites you to reflect:✨ What does balance look like for you?✨ Where are you being called to soften, slow down, or say no?“The universe rearranges itself to match your inner vibration.” — Panache Desai

Have you heard the phrase that “Everything is energy”? Your thoughts and intentions are all made up of energy. If you are sensitive to energy, it may become challenging to move throughout the day. This energy can get stuck, but when used in a focused manner, it can be used as fuel. Our guest today is spiritual teacher and author Deirdre Hade who is talking about how time really is speeding up, based on the energy. She explains how it is possible to harness this energy to create what we want. If you can focus your thoughts and feelings, which are part of the electromagnetic field, you can align your internal energy which aids in manifestation. Deirdre teaches ancient wisdom and talks about the Tree of Life. She shares about how we can get out of pain and get into our purpose. She talks about mystical traditions of Egypt, as well as Christianity and Hindu religions. She explains about the chakra system and energy patterns. The chakra system is within the Tree of Life teachings. The branches are the connections. She believes everyone is now ready for the next steps of spiritual information. She further discusses how the Tree of Life has both female and male aspects and explains how to work with both energies, both polarities, and merge into one.  The Tree of Life is the key to unlocking the mystery inside of us. When you can do that, you have inner peace and harmony. Deirdre further discusses how the Tree of Life can help when experiencing loss, and how it can bring tremendous wisdom and help to relieve the sorrow. Deirdre is a Spiritual Teacher, Master Healer, Mystic, and Visionary Leader in the ancient arts of the wisdom traditions for our times, as well as the founder of Radiance Healing and Radiance Meditation™. She is a member of the Transformational Leadership Council, a worldwide organization of thought leaders in personal and organizational transformation. Deirdre founded the Foundation for Radiance, dedicated to bringing a healthy, serene and peaceful life to children and adults who have experienced trauma or injury. Info:  www.deirdrehade.com.

In this part two of our Egypt retreat recap, we share the deeper energetic downloads and spiritual revelations that continued to unfold as our journey reached its peak. From our ceremony at the Temple of Isis and sunrise meditations at the feet of the Sphinx, to sound healing in underground chambers and toning inside the Great Pyramid - we're ready to reflect on the codes that cracked us open. We also explore the healing of feminine lineages, the presence of supportive masculine energy, and the mysterious technologies that continue to activate us today.    Key Takeaways: What it felt like to tone inside the Great Pyramid and how intention amplifies in frequency-based spaces. The unexpected healing of postpartum depression through sound, movement, and presence. Why intuitive movement (like channeling Qi Gong without formal training) is part of reclaiming ancient memory. Messages received from the Sphinx and Akashic Records about feminine leadership and inter-dimensional wisdom. The sacred design of Egypt's temples and stones and how walking through them activates the body itself.
