Podcasts about benefits of meditation

This week on This RomCom Life, we're talking breath, boundaries, and… bar tabs? (Yes, really.)Breath:We dive into the science-backed benefits of meditation — not just for your mind, but for your relationships. I open up about my own journey from meditation skeptic to full-on believer, how it's helped me grow emotionally, and why Dan says it's changed our marriage in ways neither of us expected. Plus, I share how it's fueling my new life coaching work and what it looks like to create calm in the chaos. Boundaries:We explore how the 5-5-5 method (our favorite relationship tool) helps us talk through hard things — without spiraling into arguments. Whether you're dating someone new or 20 years in, this simple technique can totally shift how you connect.Bonding:Dan shares takeaways from a recent father-son trip — the laughs, the awkward silences, and the unexpected connection moments that made it all worth it.Big Feelings:We also open up about the rise in antisemitism, how it's impacting us as a Jewish family, and the importance of staying honest and grounded as partners and parents through painful conversations.Bar Tabs:Finally, we wrap with a fun (and kinda mind-blowing) trend: Gen Z isn't opening tabs at bars. Is it budgeting? Is it dating politics? Is it emotional boundaries in drink form? We've got thoughts — and some nostalgic Gen X takes.

Johann Ilgenfritz's life changed in 2011 when he had a heart attack and six months later was diagnosed with cancer. After unsuccessful Radio Therapy he researched for a cure, soon realizing that that there was no central point for reliable online health information. He decided to create a platform and launched UK Health Radio, while still fighting cancer. After overcoming cancer through nutritional and lifestyle changes, he earned the title "The Curator of Health Expertise" from the press. His guiding principle is simple: "Good health is a choice." Initially, he saw cancer as the root of his illness but later realized it was merely a symptom of an already unwell body. He understood that by addressing the underlying cause, he could transform the outcome. With this vision, UK Health Radio (https://ukhealthradio.com/) has embraced a clear mission: to inspire and empower people to take responsibility for their own health. This does not mean taking your health into your own hands, but to be part of the process of attaining and/or keeping your health freedom. It is all about being informed, being empowered, taking action and being healthy! UK Health Radio delivers information through 41 shows airing 24/7, reaching over 1.5 million very dedicated listeners and is now also available on 11 podcast platforms worldwide. In February of 2024, Johann created The Alkaline Collective Mastermind (https://alkaline-collective.com/), a dedicated online community for those battling cancer, aiming to prevent it, or striving to stop it's recurrence. Designed for individuals who are committed to hold themselves accountable, and seek a comprehensive toolbox of resources.

Introducing Mountain to Molehill: A Mindfulness and Meditation Newsletter Mental Health Melissa Llarena Why Stressed Professionals Quit Meditation (And How Not To) Meditating is a good alternative to that third glass of wine at night – and might even serve as a replacement for psych meds for the most restless, stressed-out marketers, sales professionals, and ad executives dealing with the unpredictability of their virtual lives, workplace, home life, and everything else that gets logged in your head as stressful mountains to climb when in reality you're looking at a molehill you can simply hop over. Q: Why did I write this article encouraging you to return to meditation instead of relying on quicker fixes for stress? A: I know firsthand how psych meds play out. I've been an unwitting observer of a personal longitudinal study as the daughter of a mom who has been on them since 1982. My thinking is simple: if you can avoid them, do. I don't say this as a psychiatrist – I say it as a witness who has watched decades of science experiments performed on my single parent, from my toddler years through today, when the impact of this four-decade-long chemical warfare is irreversible. This deeply personal experience is why I'm committed to my mental health, and why I believe adopting and keeping a meditation practice is a powerful approach to life's realities. A consistent practice will increase your capacity to bear any weight you may be carrying – something we all need, don't you agree? Now, I know it's hard to adopt a practice from scratch, so I decided to focus on those of you who once meditated and might secretly wish to return. Let's start with the top reasons for this kind of "quiet" quitting. Notice the pun? I'll try to keep you chuckling throughout this read. But first, let's look at some serious stats... According to the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, approximately 60% of people who start a meditation practice discontinue within the first year. The primary reasons include: 1.     Perceived lack of time 2.     Difficulty maintaining consistent practice 3.     Feeling they're "not doing it right" 4.     Not seeing immediate results Let's explore doable workarounds for these four reasons, considering our modern omnichannel lives. Interestingly, this study aligns perfectly with a recent LinkedIn survey I conducted, asking mid-career professionals what they wanted me to cover. Time emerged as the top concern, so let's start there. Perceived Lack of Time Let's talk about time – or the common excuse of not having enough of it. Let's dispel the idea that you're too busy to drop in and pay attention to your breath for five minutes a day. Where can you steal these five minutes? Let's start with the low-hanging fruit. According to the Harvard Business Review, professionals spend an average of 28% of their workweek managing email. That's about 3.1 hours per day reading, writing, and responding to emails, with an estimated 25% of those being unnecessary or unproductive. Take my librarian email saga, for example. I received a ridiculously long email about a book renewal that could have been summarized in three sentences. Instead, this well-meaning librarian wrote paragraphs explaining a simple process. I thought to myself: she could have meditated in the time it took to write this novel of an email. Seriously, couldn't you shave five minutes from your 3.1 hours of daily email writing for a relaxing breathing session? I have full confidence you can steal some time from email writing to meditate. It can be that simple – or perhaps meditation can become your pre-meeting ritual? My pandemic meditation journey was ritualistic. I needed a tool to reliably catch my breath and return to my three sons as the calmest version of myself; the stakes were staring me in the face. I'd drag my son's bean bag out to my wrap-around balcony – my "lanai" in honor of the Golden Girls – and sit under the sun. The benefits were two-fold: it gave me something to do during lockdowns, and I returned refreshed enough to homeschool three sons. Ultimately, I returned to my teaching post with greater patience, not totally "unsnappable," but feeling more able to relax. Pro Tip: You can always find time when a boss drops a last-minute request. Somehow, you'll complete other assignments, shorten your timeframe, stay up later, or wake up earlier. Imagine treating meditation as vitally as that urgent work assignment. This is just your way into starting a practice – not necessarily how you'll have to make it stick – which brings me to the second reason for quitting. Difficulty Maintaining Consistent Practice Willpower is overrated. There, I said it. If I had unlimited willpower, I wouldn't have half a bottle of wine in my fridge or pair my glass with partially dry Manchego cheese at six p.m. when I nestle in my corner of the sofa before my sons fight me to the death to take over the TV. This is why I endeavor to do as much as possible before 9 am every single day – it's not because I want to challenge myself but because I don't trust myself as the day gets later. There's science to back this up, which is why I apply simple heuristics to maintain a consistent meditation practice. My decision-making process is brutally simple: ·       Question: Do I plan to eat today? ·       Answer: Yes. ·       Action: Then I guess I'll go to the gym, walk 10K steps, and meditate before starting my workday. Don't think you need to do these things before meditating or before 9 am like me. Instead, use my question to spark your own chain of daily habits. Yours can be as simple as: ·       Question: Do I plan to breathe today? ·       Answer: Yes. ·       Action: Then I'll take 5 minutes to pay attention to some of those breaths. This decision tree below is for those of us who've been trained to overthink... just follow the nodes. I've found that thinking is often what gets in our way. Arnold Schwarzenegger shared the same sentiment about his workouts in his Netflix documentary: he said he could think after his workouts. Same goes for meditating. Think later. See Substack. https://open.substack.com/pub/melissallarena/p/why-stressed-professionals-quit-meditation?r=fetqt&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true My meditation practice looks different every day. Sometimes I'll light a candle, drop on my carpeted floor with earbuds, and hum along to a guru telling me: "I am not my body. I am not my mind." Let's call this my "scruffy, get it done" meditation. Other times I've meditated with my eyes open during a commute. I believe in habit stacking – pairing one existing habit with a new one. Not Seeing Immediate Results On Halloween 2023, I self-published my book "Fertile Imagination." My goal was to become an Amazon bestseller. While my three boys were putting on Halloween costumes, I was copy/pasting/pitching/praying. My ranking wasn't moving despite my efforts. I had two choices: toss my laptop out the window and curse Bezos, or maintain unwavering belief in the process. I kept going. When I woke up at 5 am, I was number one in two categories. Sure, I was just a good night's rest away from seeing my goal come true – but writing the book had taken two years, securing early readers required 35 outbound emails a day for months, and Amazon needed 24 hours to update their stats. A LOT went into it behind the scenes. This experience mirrors the practice of meditation. It requires consistent effort, even when you don't see immediate results. You must trust that the benefits will manifest over time, just as I trusted my book would eventually rise in the ranks. It's about cultivating a deep-seated belief in the power of the practice, even when your mind whispers doubts. Feeling They're "Not Doing It Right" The internet paints a picture of meditation that's a bit... idealized. You know the image: serene folks, Lululemon-clad, perched on fancy meditation pillows, humming along to some ethereal YouTube guru. That's not exactly my reality. This morning, I was planning to meditate, but my phone battery died. So, I grabbed my timer and dropped onto the carpet, aiming for those 25 minutes of blissful silence. But let's just say, my meditation practice looked a little different. If I'd meditated any longer, my husband might have gotten out the masking tape to document a crime scene. Let me explain. If you could have seen me, I was definitely not dressed for a yoga retreat – just my usual work attire: brown boots, ripped jeans, and a cashmere sweater. Picture it: a perfectly respectable professional, now sprawled on their living room floor, looking like a crime scene victim. Pause for a second to see how Canva's image-generating AI "Dream Lab" doesn't care about doing things "right." Let's learn from it. The first try is so wacky and wrong. See Substack for images. https://open.substack.com/pub/melissallarena/p/why-stressed-professionals-quit-meditation?r=fetqt&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true The image below is closer to my original description, but it's still not "quite right" – like many AI-generated images. So give yourself some grace and aim for "good enough right now" rather than "perfect." See Substack for images. https://open.substack.com/pub/melissallarena/p/why-stressed-professionals-quit-meditation?r=fetqt&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true Side note: if you had a second to take that pause, then you have time to meditate. ;) No side-eye from me – just pointing this out. Here's the truth: There's no right way to meditate. You can meditate in a closet, on a Trader Joe's line, or in a nursery room. Simply be present. Here's the easiest way to begin your meditation practice: Wear your work clothes. Perfect. Find a comfortable spot: A bed, sofa, or even a random rug. Even better. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Focus on your breath. Your thoughts will arise — that's normal. Gently guide your attention back to your breath. Give yourself a mental high-five when you return to breathing. Commit to finding your own meditation style. Meditation has two-fold benefits when it comes to managing stress. Harvard Health Publishing confirms that meditation activates your body's relaxation response, which helps you navigate stressful situations with a sense of calm. Additionally, a JAMA Internal Medicine meta-analysis found that mindfulness meditation significantly reduces perceived stress. So, whether you have to climb a mountain, you'll feel more capable of doing so. Or perhaps you can quickly shift your perception of a mountain and see it for what it really is: a surmountable molehill. You'll want to adapt or bring back your meditation practice if you wish to see more molehills than mountains and feel resourced if it's a real mountain you must climb up or down to get to the other side. So, are you ready to give it a try? Conclusion Meditation is a practice, not a magical solution to stop thinking altogether. Be patient with yourself, and remember that even a few minutes of mindful presence can make a difference. A brief pause can give you space to reconsider a knee-jerk reaction or simply feel more capable of a tough conversation. I hope this article has provided helpful insights and encouragement. If you're struggling to establish, maintain, or restart a consistent meditation practice, please reach out via email melissa .llarena [at] gmail.com or leave a comment on the platform of your liking Substack, Medium or LinkedIn. I can offer support as a mindfulness and meditation practitioner dedicated to finding solutions that can increase your ability to navigate life's challenges and opportunities. Remember, your mental and emotional well-being is as vital as your physical health. They are interconnected, as I've observed in my research and personal experience. A healthy mind in an unhealthy body will likely experience discomfort, and an unhealthy mind can manifest in physical symptoms. Prioritize this empowering form of self-care and explore the many benefits of meditation. Your family and those you work with will appreciate it.   My Story – Melissa Llarena   I'm a meditation practitioner and #1 Amazon bestselling author who has spent years peering into the minds of marketers and executives, both as one of them and as their trusted guide. My articles in ForbesWomen have reached over 4 million readers, but what really lights me up is the deep work I do with people who, like me, have spent years shape-shifting to succeed.  My own journey through the corporate world – 10 years at powerhouses like Ogilvy (working on IBM) and P&G (yes, even Charmin!) – taught me firsthand about wearing different hats across 14+ business functions. For the past 13 years, I've had the privilege of coaching over 200 marketing and advertising executives worldwide, having raw, honest conversations about what it really costs us to morph ourselves every single day.    When I'm hosting the Mom Founder Imagination Hub podcast, I get to dive deep with remarkable leaders like Beth Comstock and GaryVee, exploring how to tap into our most overlooked superpower: imagination. My psychology degree from NYU, Dartmouth MBA, and Transformational Coaching certification gave me the foundation, but it was the pandemic that showed me – and my clients – that we needed something more.    In 2021, when ambition felt impossible and imagination seemed out of reach, I realized we were all exhausted from trying to power through. That's when I took a leap – pausing my coaching practice to write a book filled with soul-searching questions, while earning my meditation certification from the Jack Kornfield organization.     Now, I blend all these pieces – my corporate insider experience, thousands of honest conversations, and meditation wisdom – into workshops, sessions, and immersions that truly connect. Using imaginative meditation, mindfulness practices that even the most restless executives love, and revealing journaling exercises, I help people find their way back to themselves. Because here's what I know: when we stop losing ourselves every time life or business throws us a curveball, we can finally use our energy for what really matters – creating the impact we're meant to make.

Can you believe this is Episode 155 already? Time really does fly when you're having fun. And we're going to have fun today because we're talking about meditation! My guest is Ann Swanson, an absolute expert in the neuroscience and research behind meditation and author of the new book “Meditation for the Real World”. I love geeking out over the science of things, as you know, and Ann provides lots of science. But she's also able to make meditation available to everyone for everyday practice in very real and accessible ways. I really enjoyed talking with Ann.Ann came to meditation through yoga and she wasn't a naturally ‘chill' person so she didn't take to meditation easily at all. What she found is that maybe she wasn't using the right technique for the right situation which is something a lot of people struggle with. So Ann defines the differences between mindfulness, which is a real buzzword right now, and meditation. Mindfulness is a technique used in meditation but generally speaking, meditation is simply focusing in a relaxed way. Ann really worked at combining East and West, taking the ancient practices that have been available for so long and integrating some of the most cutting-edge research on brain tissue and neuroscience into her practices. Talking with Ann is so amazing because she dispels a lot of myths surrounding meditation and in doing so, makes it much more accessible. We talk about how it doesn't have to be spiritual, the benefits of five-minute meditations as opposed to hour-long sessions, decreases in stress hormones and increases in key immune factors, building strong habits, and the easiest meditation which is what she calls the five senses meditation. Ann's advice is research-based, easy to follow, focused on creating physically safe spaces and grounded in the benefits to health and brain function. I loved talking with Ann and I think you'll love listening to our conversation just as much as we loved having it.__About Ann Swanson:Ann Swanson is the author of the internationally bestselling books SCIENCE OF YOGA and MEDITATION FOR THE REAL WORLD, which illuminates the fascinating science behind meditation with step-by-step practices to help you find peace in everyday life. Ann wasn't a naturally “chill person,” and meditation didn't come easy to her. Overcoming chronic pain and anxiety led her to India to study yoga, to China to explore tai chi, and to earn a Master of Science in Yoga Therapy. Ann blends cutting-edge research with ancient wisdom, resulting in realistic techniques. Order her new book at MeditationForTheRealWorld.com for exclusive bonuses available to podcast listeners.__Learn more about Ann Swanson:Website: MeditationForTheRealWorld.comBook: “Meditation for the Real World: Finding Peace in Everyday Life” by Ann Swanson with illustrations by Michelle Mildenberg LaraInstagramYouTubeLearn more about Dr. Michelle Tubman and Wayza Health:Website: www.wayzahealth.comFollow me on Facebook and InstagramEmail Michelle: michelle@wayzahealth.com

'If you don't think you have time to meditate, you need to meditate', is a quote I heard way before I started meditating regularly, and one I've always remembered. In this solo episode, I focus is on the whole meditation thing, breaking down its perks backed by science, my own experiences and those of my coaching clients, while also tackling the hurdles you, yourself might face. I stress the importance of just being there, in the moment, and not expecting too much. It can begin with short moments of stillness, literally seconds, and become it part of your everyday rituals.  It gets personal too, sharing how meditation isn't just about getting organised but also about letting go and simplifying things to find your zen, which is where I began.

Blair developed Higher Consciousness Meditation after many years of meditation and yoga, and a traumatic year at a new job with a difficult boss who was abusing employees. This forced him to dive deep into his meditation practice to stay sane. As a result, he emerged with new, vibrant ways of coping with life's challenges. In short, he's an observer, yogi, and a toolmaker. An ordinary mystic. His books reflect as much. He describes himself this way, “I am an explorer who has discovered a variety of techniques, tools and ideas that I think you will find useful in your own personal development.  Here's an example of what I mean. From one perspective, each of us has a unique story in which we are born, live and die as three- dimensional characters here on Planet Earth.  Simultaneously, we are also Five Dimensional Beings having an Eternity experience in a human body on a planet that is a challenge to master, and which gives us an opportunity to grow and develop into Universal Citizens.” Blair was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, though he has spent much of his life in the San Francisco Bay Area. Though he received a Master's Degree in 1978, he never intended to be an author.

SHINING WITH ADHD  EPISODE #133: The Benefits of Meditation for Kids with ADHD with Zenimal Creator, Anna Macsalka The Childhood Collective 11/01/2023   SUMMARY If you have been listening to the Shining with ADHD podcast for a bit, you've heard us talk about the Zenimal. This screen-free audio device has been a GAME-CHANGER in our homes regarding sleep. But the Zenimal isn't just for sleep support. The device also comes with meditations to guide your kids and teens through helpful breathing practices and mindset shifts. In fact, our favorite thing about the Zenimal is that every meditation ends with “And don't forget, you're a good kid!” In this episode, creator Anna Macsalka discusses the story behind those words and the benefits of meditation for the mind and body. Her personal experience shows the immense value of meditation for kids. And listen, you might be thinking…” My child with the Ferrari brain and bicycle brakes will not slow down enough for meditation.” We've also been there and have heard story after story of kids who were resistant initially but now ask for their Zenimal at school and home. Check out the episode and see why!  MEET ANNA The company Zenimal was founded in 2017 by Anna Peterson Macsalka. She is a mom entrepreneur who wanted to help people lead healthier, more joyful lives through meditation. She believed that meditation could help everyone, both adults and children, to navigate our endlessly connected, fast-paced world. After suffering from severe anxiety as a child and finding solace in mindfulness practice at an early age, Anna wanted to give this gift to her children and to all beings everywhere in a way that doesn't require a stress-inducing screen. Anna created the Zenimal+, which is a screen-free solution to practice and learn the art of mindfulness through meditation.  AFFILIATE INFORMATION We feel so strongly about the benefits of meditation for kids with ADHD, so we devoted a whole podcast episode to it!

Dr. Dawson Church: Mind to Matter - Scientific Evidence for Mind Changing Matter There are many studies showing links between mental states and the ability to create material reality, according to researcher Dawson Church. He describes this research in a book entitled “Mind to Matter: The Astonishing Science of How Your Brain Creates Material Reality” (Hay House, 2018). He also provides examples of people who are especially gifted at turning their thoughts to things. Church traces the complex biology of thought, from electrical impulses flowing through our neural networks, to hormones and enzymes produced in our cells, to changes in our environment. When the electromagnetic activity of the brain is measured using MRI and EEG technology, it shows that in states of peak creativity, specific frequencies are produced. Brain scans of people in states of “flow,” such as elite athletes, mystics, healers and peak performers, exhibit a unique electromagnetic signature. Those suffering from depression and anxiety have a completely different brain wave pattern. While electromagnetic fields are invisible energy, they organize the matter around them in the same way that a bar magnet organizes metallic particles around it. Church is especially interested in research showing that certain frequencies generated by our brains regenerate tissue, from nerve cells to blood corpuscles stem cells. These frequencies are more pronounced in the brains of long-term meditators, healers, and peak performers. Neural signaling pathways we use frequently grow and develop. This produces resilience if we cultivate positive emotions like compassion and love. If we habitually harbor emotions like fear and stress, it stimulates the development of opposing pathways. Over time, Church finds, “the software of mind becomes the hardware of brain.” The frequencies of coherent brains in flow states actually organize the material environment around themselves. The book uses over 150 illustrations, and draws from recent discoveries in epigenetics, neurobiology, electromagnetism, social psychology, cymatics, and quantum physics to trace each step in the process by which mind creates matter. The science in the book is personalized with many case histories of people who harnessed the power of their minds to create sudden and dramatic change in their lives. Some had spontaneous healings from diseases like terminal cancer and AIDS, while others found sudden wealth. Church believes that most people are using only a small fraction of their creative abilities. As we learn the techniques that bring us into a state of flow, we shift our minds and bring the electromagnetic fields of our brains into coherence. He shows how with practice, we can change these neural information flows, our energy fields, and the world around us.

As we learn the techniques that bring us into a state of flow, we shift our minds and bring the electromagnetic fields of our brains into coherence. He shows how with practice, we can change these neural information flows, our energy fields, and the world around us. As Mind to Matter drops each piece of the scientific puzzle into place, it leaves us with a profound understanding of the enormous creative potential of our minds. It also gives us a road map to cultivating these coherent brain states in our daily lives.

Kara Goodwin, a meditation and spiritual transformation coach,  returns to Evolving Humans to continue our discussion about the potential of meditation as a tool for deepening our connection to higher consciousness. Goodwin shares her experiences of expanded consciousness, often occurring as she falls asleep, where she sees repeating patterns, colorful geometries, and feels her consciousness lifting and descending. She also discusses the concept of non-local consciousness, which she describes as the animating force running through everything. We also explore the idea that our memories and experiences are stored in our bodies, and how this can impact our current lives.Goodwin believes that meditation is a supportive practice that helps to activate our psychic senses and raise our base resonating frequency.

Episode Summary:  Have you ever felt burned out from your ministry or calling? Are you a faith-filled believer of Jesus, and yet your spiritual walk has felt void of excitement? Do you approach your daily quiet time as a task to check off rather than a fresh encounter with a friend?  We're going to be talking about all of this in today's episode. Join me with Jodie Niznik for how to meditate on the word of God and the benefits of meditation. Quotables from the episode: I was leading a very busy life working “for” God and ignoring good boundaries and limits on my time and energy. This led me to a crisis point where I nearly left the ministry. Lectio Divina (Latin for sacred reading) is a slow reading of the Word where we invite the Spirit to help us notice what he wants us to notice and then have a conversation with him about whatever he shows us. Meditation is something we need to reclaim because it was God's idea in the first place! God is a good God even when things don't feel “good.” God knows exactly who he created you to be and exactly what you are going through. He has also created us to live full and abundant lives. If we are willing to create space for God in our lives, He will meet us there. No matter what you are going through right now, God wants to accompany you through it.   Scripture References: Psalm 1:1-3, NIV Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.  Ephesians 2:10, NIV  For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.  Psalm 62: 1-2, NIV Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.    Recommended Resources:  Choose: A Study of Moses for a Life That Matters by Jodie Niznik Crossroads: A Study of Esther and Jonah for Boldly Responding to Your Call by Jodie Niznik Trust: A Study of Joseph for Persevering Through Life's Challenges by Jodie Niznik Journey: A Study of Peter for Stumbling Toward Jesus's Extravagant Grace by Jodie Niznik Galatians: Discovering Freedom in Christ Through Daily Practice by Sue Edwards and Jodie Niznik Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be Another Good Day Breaking Anxiety's Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety's Grip Free Study Guide Free 7-Day YouVersion Bible Reading Plan for Breaking Anxiety's Grip Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor's Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Trusting God Through Cancer 1 Trusting God Through Cancer 2 Revive & Thrive Women's Conference Subdue Stress and Anxiety: Fifteen Experts Offer Comprehensive Tools in Ten Minutes a Day.

Her calling and passion is to equip people to create space for God in their lives and take another step in their journey with Jesus. She does this through writing, teaching, and her Scripture meditation podcast, So Much More: Creating Space for God. Jodie has been married to Tim for over twenty-five years. They have two adult daughters, Taylor and Billie, and a very poorly trained Yorkie-poo. Jodie loves a great adventure, especially in the mountains, and so frequently laments that the Lord has called them to live in hot and flat Dallas. However, she does love the community around her, so this seems to make up for the lack of cool mountain air. She also loves a great cup of coffee, is a pencil snob, and during the pandemic discovered she had a green thumb. You will frequently find her in her office drinking said coffee, staring in awe at her growing plants, or journaling prayers with one of her favorite pencils.  Hosted By: Dr. Michelle Bengtson Audio Technical Support: Bryce Bengtson

It's not about not thinking; it's about having the thought and just going, ‘Oh - that's a thought, that's a thought', it's like this third-party observer of the mind.” - Jenn Trepeck “It's the nature of the mind. We're not going to stop our minds from creating the stories. It is what the mind does, so it's really just taking a moment to recognize that most of our thoughts are not facts and most of the things that we're ruminating on or continuing to repeat to ourselves are actually made up.” - Jenn Trepeck “Mindfulness or meditation influences two stress pathways in the brain. It alters our brain structure and activity in regions that are regulating attention and emotion. So we're able to have attention and emotion intercepted and adjusted. Literally, structure and function in the brain change when we breathe and when we think. Meditation and breathing, in particular, is regulating our nervous system.” - Jenn Trepeck  "Meditation is one more tool for me to work with  my body instead of against it." - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramTara Brach MeditationsOprah and Deepak - 21-Day Meditation YouTube SeriesCalm  and Headspace  Apps

The ancient practice of meditation is as pertinent today as it was two millennia ago when it was discovered. Amid the turmoil of life, we all could use the scientific benefits of meditation which provides a simple yet effective and convenient way to relax your body, calm your mind, and find inner peace amongst the chaos.  Meditation allows one to observe the mind and still our thoughts, letting the mind perform at its highest levels.   As Jeff Warren expressed, “Meditation forces you into a direct collision with a fundamental fact of life that is not often pointed out to us: we all have a voice in our heads.” --► Full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/benefits-of-meditation-transforming-mind-body/  --► Subscribe to My YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283. *Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck.
