Podcast appearances and mentions of Barbara J Faison

All LINKS - LINKTR.EE/BARBARAFAISON Why Struggle? Podcast - 2024 - Week 47 - Music and Mindfulness This is an episode about how to use music as a mindful practice. Last week at my job at the library we were talking about music and songs. I remembered a song by Alexandro Sanz, Quisera Ser that I shared with my co-workers. In that moment I was transported to a time in space where I first heard the song. It was on the Latin Grammys show where Alexandro Sanz was singing with Destiny's Child. That was over 15 years ago. He was so passionate singing in the performance I decided to buy the CD. Thinking about the song that day brought up such lovely feelings and memories from that time. That got me thinking about how music is so powerful. Over the next five weeks I'll be sharing excerpts from my audio program: Five Mindful Ways to Struggle Less and Enjoy Life More. I know that's a mouthful. Lol. Each week I will share one of the five M's: Music, Mouth, Meditation/Mindfulness, Memories and Movement. The intention is for you to have immediate tools to recognize when you are struggling and how to relax and choose something different. I'm a believer that life is practice. Using these tools in life is practice. The simple tools can easily be a part of your day to help you incorporate new strategies to release struggling with life. Keep listening on my YouTube Channel.

All the Links - linktr.ee/barbarafaison (2024) - Week 2 - Breathing Practice It's winter y'all and I really get into nerd mode at this time of the year. I enjoy reading and learning and resting. Right now I'm listening to the audio program, Unlock Your Wise and Mindful Brain on the Insight Timer app. As a premium member you get access to thousands of courses, including mine and I love learning, so there you have it. In the audio course, Dr. Karolien Notebaert, shares scientific proof that mindfulness is beneficial and essential for our well-being. In fact, she says as a scientist she really didn't believe mindfulness meditation was beneficial until she tried it. And now it is one of the things she highly recommends to manage stress and to help with brain function.  Did you know that mindfulness can be practiced for 5 to 10 minutes a day to help you relax, increase your self-awareness, and calm your nervous system. I'm coming up on a birthday on the 22nd and giving myself permission to rest during the winter months even more than before. I mean, after all, that's what the winter is for. Deep rest. I mean before you know it, it'll be spring and I'll be out and about. Lol. Fun fact, I'm dictating the first draft of this newsletter into my phone while lying in bed, listening to the rain.  The excerpt from my excerpt from my book/eBook/audiobook, Why Struggle? Life is too short to wear tight shoe is the breathing practice. For this practice, you may be seated or lie down, and it'll only take two or three minutes. Feel free to pause this until you're ready to start. Let's begin. Breathing Practice Sit comfortably with your back straight if possible.Close your eyes and begin to become aware of yourbreath.Simply breathe in and breathe out.Pay attention to your breath as you breathe in and out. Just breathe in and breathe out. Breathe in and breathe out.Feel the air moving through your nose and through your chest. Just breathe in and breathe out.Continue breathing and being aware of your breath and use this breathing technique throughout your day.Try this practice for 5 minutes a day. End of excerpt.

All the links - Linktr.ee/barbarafaison When I wrote my book, Why Struggle? Iife is too short to wear tight shoes, I wanted it to be a reference for myself and for others. I envisioned someone picking up the book, reading one of the principles, the practice and speaking the affirmations out loud. So, let's do that. Enjoy this excerpt from my book called,  Self-Confidence is Like the Weather Some days I wake up feeling fantastic! Some days I don't feel as great when I wake up. It's okay. Life is still happening all around. Self-confidence and self-esteem are like the weather. Hot, cold, cloudy or rainy – the weather is always changing. Some days we feel great about ourselves. Other days, we want to crawl back under the covers and wait for a new day. When I'm having a particularly challenging day, I go to bed as early as I can. Oftentimes, if I can, I will take a nap. There is something about sleeping that mentally shifts my energy and helps me move forward. I am comforted by knowing that tomorrow is a new day and there's a 50/50 chance the sun will shine. Always know there are other people having stormy days just like you. Look at yourself in the mirror and be grateful to be alive. Practice: Look at yourself in the mirror daily. Look for all the lines, wrinkles, and perfections. Affirm aloud, “I love all of me - body, mind, and spirit.” Affirmation: I accept myself for the beauty I have to offer and I share myself with the world. Here's a little backstory for you. When I wrote the book in 1999, I used exercise instead of practice and I missed an error. It was supposed to be - look for all the lines, wrinkles and imperfections. When I updated the book to the new edition in 2017, I kept the word perfections because we are all just perfect as we are. What are your thoughts about self-confidence? You may reply to this newsletter/blog post or you can reach me at barbarafaisonllc@gmail.com. If social media is easier for you to reach out, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn are best. The card I pulled for us this moment #1 LISTEN - I NOTICE and APPRECIATE the sounds around me. I love hearing the sounds of the geese honking as they fly in the sky. I will listen for them this week. There are so many resources available to support a meditation practice in person and online. Our Breathe with Barbara LIVE Sessions are the 2nd and 3rd Wednesday of each month from 8 - 9 pm eastern. My live sessions include gentle movement, breathing, meditation and silence. I would love for you to join me, the sessions are only $15.

I'm Barbara J. Faison, Your Meditation Ambassador, and if you are new here, welcome! In January I started a weekly newsletter which also serves as a blog post on my website, barbarafaison.com and the audio is my podcast called the Why Struggle podcast with Barbara J. Faison. So weekly you can read or listen.  My intention is to offer ideas, insights and inspirations to help you struggle less and enjoy life more. However you might be engaging with me, I am grateful for you listening and/or reading! I found out that September is Self-Care Month, yes, I know, there is a month or day for so many things. I'm going with this one since it's about self-care. lol. In honor of Self-Care Month, I'm offering 15% off the products on my website until the end of the month. Use code SELFCARE15 for the discount Autumn or fall is the time when in the northern hemisphere we are starting to slow down, in some places the temperatures are dropping-not so much in Atlanta. It's coming though. “Autumn is about to show us how beautiful it is to let things go.” - Anonymous Seasonally we are moving from the excitement, energy and joy of summer into the slowing down, releasing and letting go of autumn. Nature shows it all. The trees are letting go of the leaves to prepare for the winter. I feel it. Do you? I'm giving myself permission to go with the feeling of wanting to DO LESS... and in case you need it... I am giving you permission to do the same. I hope you enjoy this excerpt from my book, Why Struggle? life is too short to wear tight shoes. SLOW DOWNWhen was the last time you did anything without rushing? We can reach out and touch people in numerous ways including the phone, email, and social media. Technology offers our society such wonderful enhancements to daily living that we sometimes forget to slow down. We get up with our smartphones, cuddle with them and go to bed with them and sometimes we allow them to dictate all of our daily activities. Technology is not human and has no discretion or judgment. Remember to disconnect from technology to fully engage in life and with people. Set personal boundaries around the time you spend on the phone, computer or tablet. Be sure to schedule or factor in time for relaxation and down time. Commit to turning off the phone and enjoying the beauty around you. If you are with someone, enjoy time with a human; the technology will be there after you are done. Practice: Choose a time to spend alone in nature. Take a walk and slow down, breathe the air and feel the sun against your skin. Slow down and give every moment your undivided attention. Affirmation: I allow my mind, body, and spirit to slow down and be at peace. I'd love to know your thoughts, leave a comment here or you can reach me at barbarafaisonllc@gmail.com. If social media is easier for you to reach out, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn are best. The card I pulled for us today is the  #7 LISTEN - My body REMINDS me to FORGIVE MYSELF Before I created this newsletter/blog/podcast, I watched this video on self-forgiveness using tapping also known as Emotional Freedom Technique.

Week 36 - Sharing Your T.A.G.S. You can read AND see pictures on my blog - barbarafaison.com/blog All the links are here - LINKTR.EE/BARBARAFAISON Greetings! I'm Barbara J. Faison, Your Meditation Ambassador, and if you are new here, welcome! In January I started a weekly newsletter which also serves as a blog post on my website, barbarafaison.com and the audio is my podcast called the Why Struggle podcast with Barbara J. Faison. So weekly you can read or listen.  My intention is to offer ideas, insights and inspirations to help you struggle less and enjoy life more. However you might be engaging with me, I am grateful for you listening and/or reading! Take a moment to imagine a deck on a house on the beach; the golden sunlight is shining, the vivid turquoise water is next to white sand. The white deck of the house is overflowing with vibrant fuchsia, purple and yellow flowers and palm trees. The sky looks like a mixture of pink and blue cotton candy swirled together. I think of our world as a cosmic jigsaw puzzle and we are here to find where we fit in the puzzle. Are you a piece of the sky, the water, the flowers? Our life experiences help us discover our T.A.G.S. - Talents, Abilities, Gifts, and Skills. Each moment is purposeful. Nothing is wasted in life. Take each moment for what it is and your experiences will help you discover and uncover your T.A.G.S. Last week I saw a friend of mine I met in a writer's group back in the 1990's. I seem to be saying that a lot these days. Lol. Ade and I speak and text each other regularly so we didn't feel like it had been 11 years since we had actually seen each other in person. She was in town so we had a great time together over a few days. Wednesday evening we enjoyed a delicious meal of Indian food at Planet Bombay where we had exceptional customer service! Thursday morning we went to one of my favs, the Flying Biscuit. I love having conversations and discovering new things about my friends. Ade is an artist… an author… a writer…a creative. She creates handmade cards, repurposed jewelry and has published three books.In her own words… “I see the world through a window of words....wonderful wandering words.. I write because it is who I am; how I am. My writing is the voice of my soul.” I hope you will take a moment to see her work at peacepaperproductions.com. In my twenties and thirties, I thought life was all about self discovery. I believe we are constantly learning, evolving and growing. For me, life is all about self creation. One of my tags is doing what I'm doing here, writing and sharing my life. Where do you want to fit in the cosmic jigsaw puzzle? The water, the trees, the flowers? What are your T.A.G.S. and how are you sharing them with the world? I'd love to know, you may reply to this newsletter or you can reach me at barbarafaisonllc@gmail.com.

Week 35 - Take Three or Ten You can read AND see pictures on my blog - barbarafaison.com/blog All the links are here - LINKTR.EE/BARBARAFAISON My mission is to use my voice to heal, educate and inspire by sharing tools to help people live life better. I've mentioned before that I am an LL, a lifelong learner, and an LS, a lifelong sharer. My mother was an elementary school teacher, my father, a librarian and my paternal grandmother was also a teacher. As the saying goes, I got it honestly and the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. One of my dear cousins, Narla, is a teacher in Pensacola, FL. Growing up our families would visit each other during the year and we would write each other letters between visits. It makes me smile to think about how writing and sharing our interests kept us connected for decades. Narla still sends lovely cards for my birthday, wedding anniversary and just to say she is thinking about me and our family. There is nothing like receiving handwritten correspondence in the mail in 2023. She has been such a great supporter of my work and meditation sessions. I truly appreciate the encouragement. I love getting notes, emails and text messages from Narla letting me that my meditation work is impactful and that she shares my information with others. What makes this so special is that Narla is NOT on any social media, so her sharing my work with others is very intentional and I am so grateful for her spreading the word about my offerings. Narla just emailed a link to an article called Why You Should Take a Minute to Meditate (Almost) Every Day by Dan Harris, Former ABC News anchor and Author/co-founder/host of @10percent Happier- book + app + podcast. Dan talks about taking one minute to meditate most days for a month. He gives examples of when you can meditate in your day to make it a habit. The article is a quick read if you want to check it out. Creating space in your day for what is important is essential to taking care of yourself. I mentioned last week on my blog post that sometimes taking a few breaths is a great way to move into meditation.  Why not try one or more of these practices? Take a moment to stop and take three conscious breaths. Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Set a reminder on your phone to take three or more conscious breaths when the alarm goes off…it's a great practice to start. If you have 3:33 mins, take 10 conscious breaths. You can find a link to this practice on my YouTube artist channel, Barbara J. Faison. This track is also on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Insight Timer and other digital platforms. I'd love for you to bookmark my page and listen wherever you get your music or meditations online. If you stopped to take any conscious breaths, let me know by replying to this newsletter or you can reach me at barbarafaisonllc@gmail.com or direct message me on social media, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn are best.

Week 34 - A Stress Relief Breath Practice You can read AND see pictures my blog - barbarafaison.com/blog All the links are here - LINKTR.EE/BARBARAFAISON On Saturday I had the pleasure of presenting a De-Stress with your Breath Program for Teens at the Henry County Library, in Stockbridge Georgia. I get extra excited when I am able to share simple practices that anyone can do to reduce stress! Breathing is a part of what we do anyway, we only need to remember to access our breath intentionally as we move through the day. Did you know that breathing practices can help you calm down or have more energy? After over 25 years offering personal development training and programs I have learned that whoever needs to be there, will be there. It may be one person or hundreds of people. The just right audience will be at the place when the time is just right. Ivy and Danny were the just right people on Saturday at the program. Ivy asked me how I got into breathing stuff. :) I told her that working with the breath is easier for most people than meditation, so I like to start there. She also shared that she sometimes had trouble going to sleep and staying asleep, like many people, so I shared a few tips with her including: Write down things that are on your mind before you get in bed and say out loud… that's for another day, it's time to rest. Put devices away (phones, tablets, computers) anything that emits light an hour or more before you get into bed. (I know… you can do it!) Stand up and shake your body out, breathe in and out and let  whatever sounds  come out naturally come out when you do this. You can also practice 4 - 4- 8 breathing to reduce stress and is great for calming your body and mind down before bed or while in bed if you wake up. This is an excerpt from my four minute practice that is available for free on my artist YouTube channel, Barbara J. Faison, and also on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Insight Timer and other digital platforms. I'd love for you to listen to bookmark my page and listen on whatever digital places you use. If you tried the 4-4-8 breathing practice, reply to this newsletter or you can reach me at barbarafaisonllc@gmail.com  or direct message me on social media, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn are best.

Week 31 - More New Things! All the LINKS - LINKTR.EE/BARBARAFAISON I'm Barbara J. Faison, Your Meditation Ambassador, and if you are new here, welcome! In January I started a weekly newsletter which also serves as a blog post on my website, barbarafaison.com and the audio is my podcast called the Why Struggle podcast with Barbara J. Faison. So weekly you can read or listen.  My intention is to offer ideas, insights and inspirations to help you struggle less and enjoy life more. However you might be engaging with me, I am grateful for you listening and/or reading! It's been many years since I “really” set goals. You know the real goals where you write down what you are planning to do by a specific date, along with an action plan. I decided back in the early 2000's I would call my version of goals… Getting On A Life System. Get it -  G.O.A.L.S. - Getting On A Life System. So I ditched the official goal setting and planning and just started moving in the direction of my desires and worked on getting out of my own way. That part is still something I have to be mindful of.   I will tell you that for a former planner, it's not the easiest way to approach life. Lol. Like most things in life, it is practice, so I continue practicing being open to new opportunities and experiences. Being grateful for all of my experiences helps a lot. I believe that gratitude is an attitude and a practice. Appreciating where I am, who I am with, and my experiences has been a huge part of being able to relax more into life's natural flow. I'm so grateful for the opportunities to be involved with the Kindred Healing Center, owned by Oriola E. The Kindred Center is an affordable one-stop shop location for integrative mind, body, and spirit healing located within the Historic Lakewood Heights Holistic Health Oasis area in the City of Atlanta. You can learn more at https://www.kindredhealingcenter.com. Oriola has been a dedicated supporter of my work as a Meditation Ambassador over the years and has offered numerous opportunities for me to share my work with individuals and organizations locally and virtually. I am eternally grateful for her! In addition to being an awesome human being, Oriola is the ultimate connector. Through her center I was a part of the Flowers and Fruit Mindfulness program where I met Daisy Mugford and through that connection I was able to offer my meditation as a part of the 5th Saturday hike at the Cascade Springs Nature Preserve.  Daisy shared the history of this 135-acre preserve in southwest Atlanta as we hiked trails to Utoy Creek which was the site of a Civil War battle and we ended our hike with a meditation at the Cascade Falls waterfall.

RESOURCES: All the links are here Greetings, It's Barbara J. Faison your meditation ambassador. I've been enjoying my meditation practices for over 25 years and one of the things I love about meditation is how it is all about "returning" to yourself and being in THIS moment. I am a self-professed, LLL, life long learner and LLS, life long sharer. In 2015 as I was researching where to learn more about mindfulness I came across Kay Stewart of Stillwaters Mindfulness Training and I signed up for a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program that was being hosted at a local church counseling center where she was facilitating. Kay's energy and spirit were just right and I really felt I made a great connection and learned so much from her and the program. As an alumni of the program we are invited annually to attend a day of silence retreat on the church campus. It has been a few years since we all convened, due to COVID 19. On Saturday we had our silent retreat from 9:30 - 2 pm. When I go on a retreat, I like to have something special with me. Saturday it was a pair of oh so comfortable socks I found at Marshalls a few years ago, the brand is FYRE. My feet were nice and warm as I honored my ability to be WITH MYSELF in the silence, in a different space. I'm used to silence at my home or where I walk. The welcome sign was a quote by the poet, Rumi - "Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the language river. Listen to the ocean and bring your talky business to an end." I knew no one there but Kay and it didn't matter. I was there to FILL MY cup. And it was filled and I am grateful for these times where I can just BE... and not DO in silence and nature. I was refreshed, rejuvenated and recharged. I love this other quote by Rumi, “Why are you so afraid of silence, silence is the root of everything. If you spiral into its void, a hundred voices will thunder messages you long to hear.” What are your thoughts about silence? I'd love to know. Interested in hosting a retreat, I'd love to support you with my meditation services. You can always reach me at barbarafaisonllc@gmail.com. Here's a card for you from my card deck, Relax, Listen, and Trust Your Inner Guidance. ~~~#3 - RELAX- I SET a REMINDER to take THREE DEEP BREATHS~~~ Let me know if this card resonated with you as well, barbarafaisonllc@gmail.com.

TAP003.1: Call-in from Barbara J. Faison from “Why Struggle?” ...One of my favorite features in Anchor.fm is the “call-in” feature. Call-in allows other Anchor listeners to record a message to your station, and I, in turn, can record a response to that call-in and use it as an episode! Thank you to Barbara J. Faison from the podcast titled “Why Struggle?” for this call-in. Barbara has unintentionally revealed my internal reason for having started this podcast: To keep my own self in the flow of abundance!
