Send us Fan MailToday I'm sitting down with Charlie Baldwin — a breathwork and meditation teacher with the Art of Living Foundation, over 1,000 hours of teaching experience, and a real gift for bringing these practices to people who never thought they'd be interested. He's taught in prisons, firehouses, universities, and retreat centers in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and he has a way of making ancient wisdom feel completely relevant to modern life. I really loved this conversation.Charlie's path began with a book his mom left in his dorm room — Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth — and a breathwork retreat he almost didn't go to when he was considering dropping out of college. Within six weeks of beginning a daily practice, everything shifted: more energy, more confidence, and the overwhelming things in life became manageable. Nine years of teaching later, he is one of the most thoughtful and non-dogmatic voices in this space.What we cover:Charlie's personal origin story — how a book his mom left in his dorm room and a retreat he nearly skipped changed the entire direction of his lifeBreathwork in law enforcement — how Charlie and a fellow Art of Living teacher began offering programs to community leaders in North Carolina, how the police chief had a profound experience, and why this demographic has become so receptive to these practices right nowSky Breath Meditation (Sudarshan Kriya) — the rhythmic breathing practice Charlie has taught for nine years, featured in James Nestor's book Breath, and what makes it different from other breathwork approachesTechnology, overstimulation & Vata imbalance — a rich conversation about how the optimization of social media for endless scrolling has created widespread nervous system dysregulation, and why breathwork is one of the most powerful resets available to usApps vs. in-person learning — where technology genuinely helps people enter a practice, and why certain teachings carry an energetic transmission that cannot be fully replicated by an appWhy wellness habits don't stick — the two things Charlie has seen make the biggest difference: community and the willingness to have faith before proof arrivesThe breath-emotion connection — the simple but profound insight that every emotion has a corresponding rhythm of breath, and that this street runs both ways: we can use the breath to shift our emotional state, not just the other way aroundThe straw breath — Charlie leads us through a beautiful, portable breathwork practice specifically designed for anxiety and overwhelm. Five or six breaths, and you will feel it.Connect with Charlie & the Art of Living:Art of Living Retreat Center, Boone, NCArt of Living Part One Course (Happiness Retreat)Instagram Books mentioned:Breath by James NestorA New Earth by Eckhart TolleResources:Free Masterclass:  The Alchemy of the Perimenopause PortalAyurvedic Dosha Quick Reference GuideAbhyanga Self Massage GuideWeekend Nervous System ResetNourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

In this episode of At Home Is Now, host Wanako Oberhuber sits down with Craig Goldberg, co-founder of inHarmony Interactive, for a deeply honest and wide-ranging conversation about what it truly means to be alive, present, and at peace.Craig shares how personal loss, grief, and an unshakeable love of life led him to a mission of helping humanity rest, recharge, and reconnect — through the science of sound, vibration, and light.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to live with so much flow, joy, and purpose? The truth is, a beautiful life doesn't happen by accident—it's created through the power of intention. In this episode, we'll explore how setting clear intentions can help you align with your deepest desires, call in more abundance, and design a life that truly lights you up. You'll learn simple but powerful practices to shift your energy, release what no longer serves you, and start living with more clarity and grace.

In this episode, I'm sharing a special three-part Ayurveda Summer Camp series that I originally recorded as a video series a few years ago — and the content felt too good not to bring to the podcast.Ayurveda is one of the most practical, beautiful systems for understanding your body, energy, habits, and daily rhythms. It's not about following a rigid list of rules or trying to force yourself into someone else's version of health. It's about learning how to listen to your body, understand what it's communicating, and create simple daily routines that bring you back into balance.Inside this episode, we explore what Ayurveda actually means by “perfect health,” why so many of us keep making choices that go against what we know is good for us, and how to begin living in deeper integrity with your body, your energy, and the natural rhythms of the day.You'll also learn the basics of the five elements, the three doshas, and the Ayurvedic clock — including why your biggest meal should be at lunch, why bedtime matters so much, and why your morning routine can shape the energy of your entire day.In this episode, you'll learn:How Ayurveda defines perfect healthWhy perfect health is less about discipline and more about alignmentThe #1 cause of disease, according to AyurvedaWhy we keep doing things we know don't serve usHow self-awareness helps you rebuild body integrityAyurveda basics of the five elements and the three doshas: kapha, pitta, and vataHow the Ayurvedic clock can help you optimize digestion, sleep, energy, and clarityWhy lunch is meant to be your biggest mealWhy getting to bed before your second wind mattersWhy the early morning hours are so powerful for identity, creativity, and neuroplasticityHow daily rituals help you stop living reactively and start living intentionallyJoin us inside The Pleasure Project ProgramThis is exactly what we'll be diving into in June inside The Pleasure Project Program: magical morning routines, better sleep, aligned meals, daily rituals, and the little things that help you feel and look your absolute best.If you'd love support applying these principles to your real life, I'd love to invite you to join us.Apply for The Pleasure Project Program hereDM me on Instagram and let me know your biggest takeaway from this episode.Click here to join The Pleasure Project Program

EP 2870 Book Review THE ART OF LIVING... ใช้ชีวิตอย่างคนมีศิลปะ หนังสือเล่มนี้เป็นหนังสือที่มีรูปภาพประกอบพร้อมข้อความสั้น ๆ ที่ทำให้เราได้คิดถึงชีวิตของเรา ผมนำมารีวิวไว้ เผื่อเป็นประโยชน์นะครับ

What if anger isn't the real problem… but how we handle it is?In this message, we take an honest look at anger, not as something to ignore or suppress, but something to understand and transform. Because the truth is, anger can either destroy relationships or reveal what we truly care about.Drawing from Proverbs and the character of God, this message explores the difference between sinful anger that controls us and godly anger that is governed with wisdom. You'll see how quickly anger can escalate in everyday moments, in our words, reactions, and relationships, and how easily it can take over if left unchecked.But this isn't just about behavior. It's about the heart.Scripture shows us that God Himself gets angry, yet He is always slow to anger, patient, and perfectly just. And through Jesus Christ, we see both the seriousness of sin and the depth of God's grace, as His righteous anger is ultimately satisfied at the cross.This message will challenge you to:Recognize the difference between reacting and respondingUnderstand what your anger is actually revealingLearn how to slow down instead of blowing upReplace resentment with forgiveness rooted in the gospelBecome a peacemaker in a culture fueled by outrageBecause following Jesus doesn't mean you never feel anger, it means you no longer let anger lead your life.If you've ever struggled with frustration, conflict, or being easily offended… this is for you.

What if the key to thriving in today's fast-paced world has been around for thousands of years? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh connects with ninth-generation doctor of Eastern medicine Dr. Jenelle Kim to explore the ancient principles behind modern wellness, longevity, and true inner balance. Dr. Jenelle shares the deeply personal story behind her book, “The Korean Art of Living Well: The Eight Keys of Living Meditation for Balance and Transformation,” a work inspired by her lineage and her father's legacy. Rooted in 10,000-year-old Daoist traditions, she introduces the three pillars of optimal living: medicine, movement, and mindset. The conversation dives into how modern life creates stagnation, mentally, physically, and spiritually, and how simple practices like breathwork, grounding, and even laughter can restore flow. Dr. Jenelle explains that true wellness comes down to function and flow, and that imbalance begins when we become stuck in our thoughts. In this episode, Darius and Dr. Jenelle will discuss: (00:00) Introduction and Guest Introduction (02:57) Dr. Jenelle Kim's Journey and Book Release (05:43) The Three Pillars of Ancient Medicine (08:27) The Importance of Mindset and Meditation (11:31) Stagnation and Its Impact on Well-being (14:30) The Role of Humor and Laughter in Healing (17:26) Living Meditation and Connection to the Universe (20:17) Finding Balance in a Distracted World (22:33) Cultural Shifts Towards Mindfulness (25:25) The Eight Keys of Living Meditation (28:35) Connectedness and Honor (31:10) Overcoming Self-Deception (34:18) The Importance of Acknowledgment (40:37) Being Like Bamboo: Flexibility and Strength Dr. Jenelle Kim is a ninth-generation Doctor of Eastern Medicine, martial artist, and Taoist wellness expert.

This message from Proverbs 3 challenges us to live with open hands and a fully surrendered heart. True wisdom is not just knowing God's Word, but trusting Him enough to let it shape how we live, give, serve, and steward everything He has placed in our hands.Through the call to “trust in the Lord with all your heart,” we are reminded that generosity is not just about money. It is about our time, talent, treasure, words, relationships, obedience, and willingness to join what God is already doing. When we honor God with our first and best, we discover the deeper truth that we are blessed to be a blessing.New to Friends Church?

This message from 1 Kings 3 looks at the wisdom of Solomon and reminds us that every decision carries weight. Our choices rarely affect only us. They shape our families, relationships, churches, workplaces, and the people God has placed around us.Through Solomon's early mistakes and his humble prayer for wisdom, we see that true discernment begins with dependence on God. Solomon did not ask for wealth, power, or revenge. He asked for a listening heart, the ability to hear God clearly and lead faithfully. That same invitation is available to us today.When life presents open doors, new opportunities, hard relationships, unclear next steps, or decisions bigger than we feel equipped to handle, God invites us to slow down, humble ourselves, and ask for wisdom. A wise life is not built on one dramatic moment, but on small, faithful, daily decisions to listen to God and obey His voice.The challenge is simple: don't walk through every open door just because it opens. Ask God for a listening heart, surround yourself with wise people, and take the next faithful step with Him.New to Friends Church? We're so glad you're here!

In today's episode, I sit down with Les Brown to talk about building a legacy that outlives you through storytelling, service, and teaching others to carry the mission forward. We discuss why success without successors falls short, how to stay driven after reaching the top, and the importance of a compelling why. Les shares lessons from overcoming stage four cancer, navigating new levels and new devils, and focusing on who you become through the journey. We also get personal about family, sacrifice, and what it means to live full and die empty while creating impact that lasts beyond your lifetime.

Why is self-control such a big deal in the Christian life? In this message from our Art of Living series, we look at Proverbs and discover that self-control is not optional fruit for a follower of Jesus, it is essential to a wise life. This sermon unpacks how true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord, why self-control is about rightly ordered loves rather than repression, and how God uses His Word, His Spirit, and His people to shape us. If you've ever struggled with anger, impulsiveness, distraction, appetite, desire, or inconsistency, this message points us back to Jesus, our wisdom, our example, and our help.New to Friends Church?

Sesshin Day 1: Zen and the Art of Living by Ordinary Mind Zen School

What does it mean to truly fear God, and why is that the starting point for wisdom? In this message launching the Ancient Wisdom in Modern Times series, we open Proverbs 1 and discover that the fear of the Lord is not about being terrified of God, but standing in awe of Him in a way that changes how we live. This sermon explores the difference between knowledge and wisdom, why God's Word is meant to transform more than just our thinking, and how misplaced fear of people, failure, or opinion can keep us from living freely. If you've been drifting, negotiating with God's truth, or needing direction for real life decisions, this teaching is a clear call to pursue wisdom, obey God wholeheartedly, and build your life on what is actually true.New to Friends Church?

I spent three days in Kochi, immersed in the art biennale. And wandering through the lanes, warehouses, waterways, and cafes of the city. The city was alive with art - representations of life, adn its anguish and joy. And hundreds of people from all over immersed in art, as something they now saw as they went to school or office.    I recorded small pieces as I viewed the art, and have put them up here, unedited.    They have the sound of the sea, the cadences of life as it passed even as its representation lay splattered in colour or metal in front of me. I loved doing this live recording of thoughts passing through my mind - sometimes shallow, sometimes deep. But all very me.    Subscribe to my newsletter 'The Uncuts' Follow me on Instagram at @sunilgivesup.

What does it really mean to live a coherent life?In this episode of What Is a Good Life, Mark McCartney is joined by João Sevilhano for a deep, reflective conversation on coherence, something that goes beyond rigid moral ideals and is more a lived, imperfect practice. João is a psychologist and learning experience designer. Co-CEO of Way Beyond, where he works on human development and organisational transformation. His background is in clinical psychology and psychoanalysis. He collaborates with Porto Business School and NOVA Doctoral School, and he tends to think meaningful conversation is underrated as a tool for change.Together, they explore:What coherence feels like in everyday lifeThe tension between values, actions, and changing our mindsWhy coherence is different from authenticity or consistencyParenting, work, and small decisions as tests of alignment“Slow activism” and the impact of how we show up with othersRather than offering quick answers or formulas, this conversation sits with uncertainty, contradiction, and the discipline of paying attention - particularly when no one is watching.This episode is for anyone feeling the pull between who they are, how they live, and what the world is asking of them right now.For more of João's work:Newsletter: https://useful-uselessness.com/Way Beyond Website: https://www.waybeyond.pt/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joaosevilhano/ For more from Mark McCartney:Newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/Website: https://www.mmcleadership.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlifeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcmccartney00:00  Questions as Companions07:00  Spirituality in Everyday Life13:00  Coherence as Purpose16:30  Flexibility and Awareness22:30  Discipline and Practice30:00  Helping Without Imposing36:00  Slow Activism and Stubbornness42:00  Living With Contradiction49:00  Reflection on Sacrifice54:00  Not Knowing as a Practice

“ Beaumier is a story that began truly 10 years ago if we go back to the beginning of the portfolio. But this story of implementing soulful luxury properties and beautiful environments, really rooted in the local culture—it's less than five years old. We're a very young brand, I would say.”We're in great company with Anna Fedou, Brand & Marketing Director of Beaumier Hotels, a curated collection of ten soulful luxury properties woven across Europe's most enchanting landscapes—from Provence and the Riviera to the Alpine peaks and Ibiza. Beaumier is built on a philosophy of "the art of living differently"—a belief that true hospitality begins not with grand gestures, but with listening—to the landscape, to the people who call it home, to the history woven into its walls. Rather than imposing a predetermined style, each property emerges as an act of discovery, honoring its surroundings while breathing new life into them with the spirit of a curious explorer and the care of a devoted steward.In this winter episode, Anna shares how her own multicultural upbringing—shaped by movement between cultures and meaningful family moments—informs Beaumier's approach to creating spaces where guests feel genuinely at home, offering us timely lessons in slowing down, belonging, and the kind of intentional living we all crave as the holidays approach.Top Takeaways[1:50] How Anna's childhood spent traveling between France, Portugal, Spain, and London—punctuated by magical family holidays discovering the world together—became the compass that would eventually guide her career in creating meaningful, connected experiences for others.[6:40] What began as a small collection of Alpine ski hotels transformed into a spirit of adventure named Beaumier—seeking out hidden architectural treasures and breathing new life into them with intention and reverence.[19:40] At Beaumier, guests reconnect with nature and themselves through thoughtfully curated spaces where design, storytelling, and “happy accidents” become conversation starters that spark joy regardless of cultural background. [24:15] Winter Properties: L'Alpaga in Megève, Les 3 Vallées in Courchevel, Le Val Thorens and Le Fitz Roy in Val Thorens—all provide distinctive perspectives and experiences of the French Alps—while the Grand Hotel Belvedere in Wengen is a historic hideaway in the Swiss Alps.[26:00] Summer Properties: Capelongue, Le Moulin and Le Galinier  show different sides of Provence—while Les Roches Rouges sits peacefully overlooking the Côte d'Azur, and Petunia dispels the myth of Ibiza.[30:55] What ties together ten distinct properties across Europe isn't a playbook—it's a commitment to locally sourced cuisine, genuine human connection, and a deeply personal approach to wellbeing that honors what each guest truly needs to feel whole.[35:50] A first glimpse into Wengen's revival through Grand Hotel Belvedere—a revitalized property breathing new life into a sleeping beauty destination that's been beautifully unchanged for decades, inspiring the entire community to awaken alongside it.Visit For YourselfBeaumier Website | @beaumierhotels Bon Voyage by Beaumier

How to Change Your Past Without a Time Machine What if the power to rewrite your past didn't come from going back… but from how fully you show up right now? In this episode, we step inside one of the most iconic scenes from Back to the Future—the fog, the hum of the unknown, the impossible promise of a machine that could undo the moments we long to change. But instead of escaping into fantasy, we turn that scene inward. Because the real time machine isn't made of metal and wires… it's made of presence, awareness, and the wisdom of your future self. Together, we explore one of the greatest paradoxes of being human: Regret isn't about what you didn't do. It's about not realizing you still can. This episode is part story, part meditation, part awakening. You'll learn how to see your life through a different lens—one where your future self whispers guidance into your present choices, and your past stops holding you hostage. If you've ever wished you could go back and fix one moment… or if you've ever felt the ache of "if only" sitting heavy in your chest… this episode may change the way you relate to time, to yourself, and to every moment ahead of you. Step into the fog. Meet the version of you who already knows the way forward.

Our wellness is the heartbeat of our lives, the quiet rhythm that keeps us balanced, open, and whole. Yet in the rush of everyday living, we often forget to pause, to breathe, to simply be.
