From Insight to Embodiment: Healing, Awakening, and the Power of Relational Safety with Blaise KennedyWhat if real change doesn't happen through insight alone, but through the body, the nervous system, and the relationships that teach us how to become whole?In this deeply grounded and spacious episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I'm joined by Blaise Kennedy, a teacher and guide working at the intersection of embodied awareness, relational attunement, and spiritual awakening. Blaise supports growth-oriented people who are spiritually curious, emotionally honest, and ready for change that shows up in daily life, not only in meditation or peak experiences. His work was shaped by a major turning point at age 24, when he entered recovery and began a serious path of self-inquiry, healing, and integration. That journey eventually led him to create Developmental Architecture, a staged, embodied map of growth that weaves together awakening, nervous system capacity, trauma repair, and relational maturity into one developmental process.Together, we explore why healing is not a solo project, the difference between insight and embodiment, what the nervous system may really be asking for, and how awakening, healing, and manifestation can be understood as different facets of one living process of consciousness. This conversation has so much value for anyone working in change, whether through coaching, facilitation, leadership, organizational transformation, healing, or community work. It is also deeply relevant for anyone who has done inner work, had powerful insights, or experienced moments of awakening, yet still finds themselves returning to familiar patterns.Blaise brings a rare combination of vulnerability, humility, wisdom, and lived experience. This is not a conversation about change as theory. It is about change that becomes embodied, relational, and real.Key TakeawaysWhy insight alone is not enough to create lasting changeHow the nervous system shapes our capacity for awakening, intimacy, manifestation, and growthWhy healing was never meant to happen in isolation: The importance of relational safety, attunement, and co-regulation in transformationWhat becomes possible when awakening moves from peak experience into daily lifeWhy coaches, leaders, and changemakers need to understand their own nervous system and relational presenceLearn More About Today's GuestBlaise's website ****→ www.blaisekennedy.comBlaise's Instagram →@blaisehereAbout the HostJayne Warrilow is the founder of Sacred Changemakers, a global community and learning space exploring the intersection of human resonance, regenerative change, and conscious leadership.Learn more at sacredchangemakers.com
Sometimes it's not the big moments that shape our relationships most . . . it's the little patterns we fall into without even realizing it.In this episode, we focus on the small shifts that can quietly change a relationship over time: the assumptions we make, the way busyness pulls us apart, and why people can genuinely care about each other and still miss what the other person actually needs.It's an honest, real-life conversation about connection, communication, grace, and learning to love people a little better in the middle of everyday life. We lean into the importance of staying tuned in to God — because sometimes His quiet nudges are what lead us toward more patience, more understanding, and a softer response than the one we were about to give.There's humor, perspective, a few “ouch, that's true” moments, and plenty of encouragement for anyone who wants healthier, deeper, more connected relationships without feeling like you need a complete life overhaul.Listen now and maybe even share it with someone who's been on your heart lately.Send us Fan MailFor more info on IMAGINE YOURSELF, visit imagineyourselfpodcast.com.

Send us Fan MailDiscover how awakening is an ongoing journey, not a destination. Learn key insights on Why Your Spiritual Practice Isn't Helping You and personal and collective growth from Blaise Kennedy's experience in this enlightening discussion.In the quest for spiritual awakening, many often assume it's a singular, transformative event—a moment where everything changes and you Awaken Fully . However Learn Whats Missing, as Blaise eloquently shares in this discussion, awakening is not a conclusion but a continuous journey filled with growth, challenges, and deeper understanding. In this blog post, we'll explore key insights from Blaise's experience, emphasizing that spirituality is an ever-evolving process that impacts not just the individual but the collective. The Myth of Completion in Spiritual AwakeningAwakening is often portrayed as the ultimate goal in spiritual practices. Blaise challenges this notion by emphasizing that what many perceive as the pinnacle of enlightenment is merely a starting point. The journey does not end with self-realization; instead, this realization opens the door to a deeper exploration of consciousness.- **Why This Matters:** Understanding that awakening is ongoing helps to cultivate patience and resilience in our spiritual journeys. - **Common Mistake:** Assuming that once you reach a certain level of enlightenment, your spiritual work is complete.The Dynamic Nature of SpiritualityBlaise highlights that spirituality is not static; it is the movement of the universe itself. He shares that his journey has been characterized by continuous growth and transformation, emphasizing that our experiences and challenges are integral parts of this process.- **Key Insight:** Spirituality reflects the ever-changing dynamics of the universe, and as such, it requires us to adapt and evolve continuously.- **Example from Blaise's Journey:** Blaise recounts how he initially sought to replicate the paths of his teachers but soon realized that each individual's journey is unique, necessitating a personalized approach to spiritual growth. Understanding Trauma and Its Impact on GrowthA significant aspect of Blaise's journey revolves around understanding the effects of trauma—not just personal but collective. He emphasizes that many behaviors and challenges in life stem from unresolved trauma, impacting both individual and collective consciousness.- **Key Insight:** Our individual healing contributes to the healing of our ancestors and the collective consciousness. As we heal, we help to mend the wounds of those who came before us.- **Example from Blaise's Experience:** He illustrates how his physical ailments were not merely personal but resonated with the collective pain of his ancestors, underscoring the interconnectedness of all experiences.

Send us Fan MailIn the quest for spiritual awakening, many individuals find themselves grappling with profound questions about their existence and purpose. In this post, we delve into insights shared by spiritual teacher Blaise, who advocates for an integral approach to life and spirituality. Blaise emphasizes the importance of recognizing and embracing the many dimensions of our existence, pushing beyond mere self-realization to truly engage with the world around us. Understanding the Integral ApproachBlaise describes his life mission as advocating for an integral approach to spirituality. This perspective acknowledges that we exist in multiple dimensions and that each is fundamentally important in the process of awakening. Instead of striving to reach a singular destination, life is about unifying and completing the universe itself. This process is particularly relevant for our earth, which, according to Blaise, is experiencing a profound disconnection from these dimensions.The Importance of WholenessBlaise believes that the journey toward awakening involves recognizing the interconnectedness of all things. He emphasizes that our understanding of life must not be limited to our personal experiences or traumas. Instead, it should encompass the broader history of our ancestors, cultures, and the universe itself. This understanding fosters a deeper sense of belonging and purpose, allowing individuals to see themselves as integral parts of a larger tapestry.The Journey Through TraumaA significant part of Blaise's teaching revolves around trauma healing and the relational contexts in which our traumas are formed. He advocates for understanding how our personal experiences are influenced by our family history and the collective memory of our culture. This approach allows individuals to move beyond their immediate pain and recognize the shared struggles of humanity. Healing Through ConnectionBlaise's work in trauma healing highlights the importance of connection. By understanding the roots of our pain and how they relate to the collective experience, we can begin to heal not only ourselves but also contribute to healing the broader community. This collective healing is crucial for our spiritual growth and awakening. The Role of Spiritual TeachersBlaise reflects on the necessity of spiritual teachers who can guide individuals through the complexities of their journeys. He shares his own experiences with mentors and how these relationships have shaped his understanding of spirituality. Spiritual teachers play an essential role in helping us navigate the various dimensions of our existence and in reconnecting with our higher selves.

Heart and Hustle #219 with me, Paulette Rees-Denis and today's guest Blaise Kennedy I hope this week is meeting you with a little spaciousness, a little breath, and perhaps a little more curiosity about what it means to truly listen to yourself. This week on Heart and Hustle, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Blaise Kennedy for a conversation that felt both grounding and expansive—one of those conversations that opens something deeper while you're listening. Blaise and I explored spirituality, trauma, embodiment, healing, and what it really means to reconnect with yourself in a world that often teaches us to stay disconnected. What I loved most about this conversation is how honest it is. Blaise speaks so beautifully about his own journey—from addiction and disconnection to meditation, healing, and a life devoted to helping others come back into relationship with themselves. We talked about what it means to: listen inward, understand the body, move through trauma with support, and uncover the deeper intelligence already living within you. I always love these kinds of conversations because while every journey is deeply personal, there is something so powerful about hearing how someone else found their way back to themselves. And this one is full of those moments. So enjoy our conversation with Blaise—there is so much wisdom here, and I think you'll find something in it that speaks directly to where you are. More about Blaze! Blaise Kennedy is a spiritual teacher, meditation guide, and creator of Developmental Architecture—a body of work devoted to helping people reconnect with themselves through presence, embodiment, consciousness, and collective healing. Drawing from his own lived experience of addiction, recovery, and deep spiritual practice, Blaze teaches an integrated path of healing that brings together meditation, trauma awareness, relational intelligence, and embodied self-awareness. His work helps people reconnect with the deeper motivations beneath their patterns, access the wisdom of the body, and move through healing with greater clarity, connection, and support. Blaise works with individuals and groups around the world through meditations, teachings, and transformational programs designed to support awakening, healing, and human development.

When Blaise Alexander crashed at Lowe's Motor Speedway on October 4, 2001, Jimmy Spencer was watching on the mega-screens from under the Winston hauler. He went to his knees. He knew.

Send us Fan MailBlaise Kennedy reflects on how a personal crisis in his early twenties became the catalyst for a lifelong journey of awareness, healing, and spiritual development. He explains that true intelligence arises from presence and the ability to pay attention to one's inner life, rather than from intellectual knowledge alone. Through years of exploration, Blaise developed an integrative approach that combines awakening, emotional healing, and conscious manifestation, emphasizing that these aspects of human development must evolve together. He also highlights the importance of collective growth, suggesting that awakening is not just an individual process but a shared evolution of consciousness that unfolds through relationships, community, and deeper self-understanding.Support the show
You've done the work. Meditated, journaled, shadow-worked your way through half a bookshelf. So why does the same frustration, the same anger, the same stuck feeling keep showing back up? Turns out, it's not a willpower problem. It's a filing system problem.Episode Overview Blaise Kennedy is a consciousness guide and teacher who got here the hard way. At 24, he hit a wall in drug addiction treatment and did something most people wouldn't: instead of just getting better and moving on, he got relentlessly curious about why standard answers weren't working. What emerged isn't philosophy. It's a practical, embodied framework that weaves together consciousness, nervous system science, trauma integration, and relational healing.In this conversation, Karen, Will and Blaise go deep on why your insight isn't translating into lived change, and what it actually takes to get it to stick.What You'll Discover in This EpisodeWhy your body has been storing unresolved experiences you thought you'd already dealt with. and why "thinking through" emotions isn't the same as processing themThe vertical dimension of presence most people have never been taught, and how reconnecting to it changes everythingWhy feeling your frustration more (not solving it) is often the actual path forwardThe surprising reason isolation almost always slows your growth down, and what the Olympics have to do with spiritual developmentHow somatic therapy and Eastern meditation are on a collision course, and why that's actually great news for your healingWhy Blaise believes we're in the middle of a collective awakening that's making breakthroughs more accessible than ever beforeThe Big Idea Blaise makes a compelling case that most of us aren't stuck because we're broken or unready. We're stuck because we've been trying to clean out the office without ever opening the drawers. The body stores what the mind skips over, and until your consciousness and your nervous system are working as one unified system, insight just floats.Listen, Then Reflect If you've ever felt spiritually fluent but personally stuck, this episode is the explanation you've been looking for.

In this episode, I sit with spiritual teacher, Blaise Kennedy, to explore Developmental Architecture; a relational, body-centered approach to healing and awakening.Blaise explains how presence and co-regulation (being with another who truly listens) accelerate healing, allowing stored developmental material to be felt, released, and integrated rather than replayed as triggers. We discuss how trauma creates adaptive strategies of disconnection, and how consistent, attuned relationships can progressively rewrite those patterns.Blaise shares practical guidance for cultivating emotional awareness when you don't have an ideal support system: cultivate curiosity, practice returning attention to the body, and seek fields of care that model safety.He clarifies why intellectual understanding isn't enough and offers metaphors and simple practices to begin sensing your body history;from noticing where energy is held to tracing the source of recurring reactions.Whether you're new to embodiment work or deepening an existing practice, this episode offers a clear roadmap for moving from self-reliance to interdependence and reclaiming your presence.To learn more about Blaise's work and to connect with him, click here
Send a textWhat if the real reason change doesn't stick is because we're building on a shaky inner foundation? We sit down with Blaise, a guide who helps growth‑oriented seekers turn spiritual insight into embodied change, to map a path from self-connection to stronger relationships and practical follow-through. His story is raw and hopeful: early derailments, a wake-up into presence, and the steady work of aligning words, energy, and action so people can actually trust us.Together we trace a developmental blueprint for healing that starts at the ground level: safety and rest through co-regulation, the skill of naming needs, the emergence of will and boundaries, and the heart's capacity to care for self and others. If you missed a “floor,” adult life exposes the gap—conflict in intimacy, people-pleasing, or the sense of being left out of your own care. Blaise shows how to renovate without shame. Feelings aren't commands, but they are truthful data; when we let energy move, we stop fighting ourselves and can include both facts and feelings in the moment.We also dig into how real teaching begins with listening. In Blaise's groups, everyone practices presence—not just the facilitator. Structure matters so safety scales, and permission becomes embodied when anger or grief is met with respect instead of punishment. He nods to formative influences—Adyashanti's clarity in meditation and Thomas Hübl's relational attunement—while offering accessible ways to start: free live meditations, principle-centered practices, and simple pauses like “Why am I talking?” for more honest conversations.Underneath it all is a grounded optimism. Access to healing resources is expanding, and more people are choosing a light-based mindset that acknowledges pain without being defined by it. If you've felt “aware” but stuck, this conversation offers a map and the encouragement to take your next step. Subscribe, share this with a friend who's doing the work, and leave a review telling us which part you'll practice this week.Blaise helps growth-oriented seekers turn spiritual insight into embodied change and healthier relationships. He brings grounded frameworks for people who feel stuck between awareness and real-life follow-through.https://www.blaisekennedy.com/https://youtube.com/@blaisehere?si=bmFBPkV0p0T1lKn3Support the showHost Candace PatriceCo-host Janet Halevisit the website at https://www.essentialmotivation.com/visit the store at https://shopessentialmotivation.com/Instagram instagram.com/essentialmotivationllc visit Janet's website https://haleempowermentllc.com/To be a guest on our show email me at candacefleming@essentialmotivation.comIn the subject line put EMH Guest Suicide Prevention Lifeline 988Music by Lukrembo: https://soundcloud.com/lukremboProvided by Knowledge Base: https://bit.ly/2BdvqzN
Okolí francouzského města Clermont-Ferrand připomíná České středohoří. A samotné město se pyšní slavným rodákem. Je tomu už víc než 400 let, co se tam narodil fyzik Blaise Pascal. Mnoho pokusů prováděl v okolní přírodě i na jedné z tamních sopek. A právě na ni se vyšplhala naše spolupracovnice ve Francii Marie Sýkorová, i když povětrnostní podmínky nebyly ideální.
In this expansive episode of Wake Up with Joni, I sit down with Blaise Kennedy to explore a radical and transformative idea: What if everything exists within your consciousness — rather than you existing inside a world "out there"? Blaise's work invites us beyond spiritual concepts and into lived realization. We discuss what it means to experience the body as the center of reality, how coherence between inner and outer life becomes a spiritual practice, and why curiosity may be the most powerful doorway to awakening. This conversation is not about escaping the human experience — it's about inhabiting it more fully. If you've ever felt the tension between what you know spiritually and how you live daily, this episode will meet you there. ✨ In This Episode We Explore: The shift from intellectual spirituality to embodied realization Why the body is not separate from consciousness What "coherence" actually looks like in daily life How awakening changes relationships and purpose A grounded way to begin living as awareness now
In this conversation, we explore the nature of intelligence and life itself with Blaise Agüera y Arcas, VP and Fellow at Google and head of the Paradigms of Intelligence Lab. Blaise discusses his ambitious new book "What Is Intelligence?"—a work that bridges evolutionary biology, complexity science, artificial life, and AI to argue that intelligence fundamentally arises from computation, symbiosis, and the recursive modeling of minds.Blaise describes himself as "an inch deep with a few deeper wells" across disciplines, drawing from sources as diverse as Nick Lane's work on energetics, Darwin's evolution, and anarcho-communist Peter Kropotkin's 1910 treatise on mutual aid. This intellectual breadth allows him to see connections others miss—like recognizing that the urgent questions raised by modern AI models exhibiting general intelligence without any "magical discovery" demand we fundamentally rethink what intelligence means across all substrates.Key themes we explore:- Symbiogenesis, Not Just Symbiosis: Why the distinction matters—when mutualism creates something new that reproduces as a unit, with individuals no longer viable alone- Humans as Existing Cyborgs: How the steam engine represents our "mitochondrion," enabling 7 of 8 billion people to exist by metabolizing energy on our behalf- The Endless Frontier of Intelligence: Why energy budgets increasingly shift toward thought as systems scale—and why this demand is "bottomless"- Theory of Mind as Foundation: How recursive modeling of others' minds enables social coordination and represents the mathematical basis for multi-agent learning- Artificial Life's Emergence: Why massive parallel computation will finally allow artificial life research to flourish- Categories as Approximations: Moving beyond both essentialist categorization and postmodern rejection toward understanding statistical descriptions with limits- Planetary Consciousness as Survival: Why modeling the entire ecological system isn't "woo-woo" but literally what we need for collective agencyBlaise Agüera y Arcas is a VP and Fellow at Google, where he is the CTO of Technology & Society and founder of Paradigms of Intelligence (Pi). Pi is an organization working on basic research in AI and related fields, especially the foundations of neural computing, active inference, sociality, evolution, and Artificial Life. A frequent public speaker, he has given multiple TED talks and keynoted NeurIPS. He has also authored numerous papers, essays, op-eds, and chapters, as well as two previous books, Who Are We Now? and Ubi Sunt. His most recent book, What Is Life?, is part 1 of the larger book What Is Intelligence?, forthcoming from Antikythera and MIT Press in September 2025.
What if the clutter stressing you out isn't in your house… but in your head?If you've been feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or spiritually distracted, this episode gets right to the heart of it. We explore what it really means to “declutter your inner life” and why clearing mental and spiritual noise may be the reset your soul has been craving.Building on their recent conversation about organizing the home with declutter specialist Deanna Yates, they turn the focus inward. Because sometimes the mess isn't in the closet… it's in our thoughts.In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Lanée and Sandy share:A simple “power tidy” for your soulShort daily truths and scriptures that anchor your mind when emotions spiralIntentional breathing practices that calm your body and refocus your spiritPractical ways to challenge old thought patterns, false beliefs, and negative self-talkHow to guard your mental inflow from social media overload and everyday negativityWith personal stories, favorite scriptures, and doable exercises, they unpack how to remove what's weighing you down and intentionally replace it with gratitude, truth, and reminders of God's steady love.This episode isn't about perfection. It's about margin. It's about creating space to hear God speak in the middle of real life.If you're craving clarity, peace, and a deeper connection with God — start here.

What if life itself is just a really sophisticated computer program that wrote itself into existence?In this mind-bending talk, *Blaise Agüera y Arcas* takes us on a journey from random noise to the emergence of life, using nothing but simple code and a whole lot of patience. His artificial life experiment, cheekily named "BFF" (the first two letters stand for "Brainf***"), demonstrates something remarkable: when you let random strings of code interact millions of times, complex self-replicating programs spontaneously emerge from pure chaos.*Key Insights from this Talk:**The "Artificial Kidney" Test for Life* — What makes something alive isn't what it's made of, but what it *does*. A rock broken in half gives you two rocks. A kidney broken in half gives you a broken kidney. Function is what separates the living from the non-living.*Von Neumann Called It* — Before we even knew what DNA looked like, mathematician John von Neumann figured out exactly what life needed to copy itself: instructions, a constructor to follow them, and a way to copy those instructions. He basically predicted molecular biology from pure logic.*The Magic Moment* — Watch as Blaise shows the exact instant when his simulation transitions from random noise to organized, self-replicating code. It's a genuine phase transition, like water freezing into ice, except instead of ice, you get *life*.*Evolution Without Mutation* — Here's the twist that challenges everything you learned in biology class: this complexity emerges even when mutation is set to zero. The secret? Symbiogenesis. Things don't just mutate to get better; they *merge*. Two simple replicators that work well together fuse into something more complex.*We're All Made of Viruses* — This isn't just simulation theory. In the real world, the mammalian placenta came from an ancient virus. A gene essential for forming memories? Also a virus. Life has been merging and absorbing other life forms all the way down.The implications are profound: life isn't just computational, it was computational from the very beginning. And intelligence? That's just what happens when these biological computers start modeling each other.Whether you're into artificial life, evolutionary biology, or just want to understand what makes you *you*, this talk will fundamentally change how you think about the boundary between living and non-living matter.---TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 Introduction: From Noise to Programs & ALife History00:03:15 Defining Life: Function as the "Spirit"00:05:45 Von Neumann's Insight: Life is Embodied Computation00:09:15 Physics of Computation: Irreversibility & Fallacies00:15:00 The BFF Experiment: Spontaneous Generation of Code00:23:45 The Mystery: Complexity Growth Without Mutation00:27:00 Symbiogenesis: The Engine of Novelty00:33:15 Mathematical Proof: Blocking Symbiosis Stops Life00:40:15 Evolutionary Implications: It's Symbiogenesis All The Way Down00:44:30 Intelligence as Modeling Others00:46:49 Q&A: Levels of Abstraction & Definitions---REFERENCES:Paper:[00:01:16] Open Problems in Artificial Lifehttps://direct.mit.edu/artl/article/6/4/363/2354/Open-Problems-in-Artificial-Life[00:09:30] When does a physical system compute?https://arxiv.org/abs/1309.7979[00:15:00] Computational Lifehttps://arxiv.org/abs/2406.19108[00:27:30] On the Origin of Mitosing Cellshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11541392/[00:42:00] The Major Evolutionary Transitionshttps://www.nature.com/articles/374227a0[00:44:00] The ARC genehttps://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/memory-gene-goes-viralPerson:[00:05:45] Alan Turinghttps://plato.stanford.edu/entries/turing/[00:07:30] John von Neumannhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann[00:11:15] Hector Zenilhttps://hectorzenil.net/[00:12:00] Robert Sapolskyhttps://profiles.stanford.edu/robert-sapolsky---LINKS:RESCRIPT: https://app.rescript.info/public/share/ff7gb6HpezOR3DF-gr9-rCoMFzzEgUjLQK6voV5XVWY
Life can feel overwhelming when our spaces—and our schedules—are cluttered. And sometimes the issue isn't that we don't have enough time, but that we don't have enough margin.In this episode of Imagine Yourself, we're sharing seven simple, realistic ideas to help you get more organized, pulled from a past conversation with clutter-free living expert Deanna Yates. These aren't extreme or all-or-nothing approaches. Instead, they're practical shifts: organizing routines and the things that support them, creating systems that fit your current season, and learning how small habits can make everyday life feel lighter.Our hope is that these ideas don't just help tidy up your home, but also give you back time, mental energy, and space to be more present—with the people you love, and with God.

A late-night ride near home. A driver fleeing police. A life cut short. We sit down with Haley Kilman to trace the night her partner, competitive cyclist Blaise Schaeffer, was killed in a hit-and-run—and the relentless search for driver Allen Samir Bautista Milla, who ran on foot and hasn't been seen since. Haley walks us through the frantic morning calls from another state, the agonizing wait for a warrant and a usable photo, and the grind of canvassing Nashville with updated flyers and a $5,000 reward for a lead that results in arrest.We dig into what's known: the attempted traffic stop for erratic driving, the crash damage that disabled the car, the companion who helped identify the suspect, and the jurisdictional complexity at the county line. Beyond the case details, we confront a hard truth about public reaction: how quickly outrage fades and how easily blame shifts to cyclists. The evidence at the scene tells a different story—one about speed, disregard, and a danger zone that would have endangered anyone on that stretch of road. This isn't a bike debate; it's a call for accountability and safety on streets we all share.We also honor Blaise beyond the headlines. He hit a 12,000-mile goal the night before he died. He was top of his class, on homecoming court, a college soccer player, and the kind of person who made rooms feel welcoming. His family is setting up a scholarship at Luther College to keep his legacy alive. Haley's focus is both love and public service: get a face and a name in front of the right eyes, move the investigation forward, and keep another family from living this story.

St. Blaise, Bishop and Martyr (Optional Memorial)
Friends of the Rosary,Today, February 3rd, the Universal Church offers two saints, Blaise and Ansgar, for separate celebration as an Optional Memorial. To St. Blaise (or Blaise) (d. 320), many cures are attributed. From the eighth century, he has been invoked on behalf of the sick, especially those afflicted with illnesses of the throat. St. Blaise was a physician and Bishop of Sebaste, Armenia, and was martyred under Licinius. St. Blaise is included in the list of Fourteen Holy Helpers.On this day, the Church celebrates a "Blessing of the Throats" in honor of St. Blaise. St. Ansgar (801-865) became known as the "Apostle of the North" for his great evangelical work in Denmark and Sweden. He was Bishop of Hamburg, Germany, and then of Bremen, Germany. Known for his great preaching, working miracles, and being greatly devoted to the poor and sick.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/020326.cfmThe Church remembers St. Blaise as a powerful intercessor for those suffering from ailments of the throat — but his witness points far beyond physical healing. In this homily, Fr. Matthew Tomeny, MIC, draws us into the heart of the Gospel, where Christ's miracles transcend the physical.From the blessing of throats after Candlemas to the healing of the woman with the hemorrhage, Scripture reveals a consistent truth: God desires our complete healing, yet He always aims first at the salvation of our souls. Physicians, medicine, and created goods are true gifts from the Lord — but there are moments when only divine grace can reach the deepest wounds. Physical cures may come or not come, but spiritual healing is always offered.The woman who dared to touch the hem of Christ's garment knew she could not approach Him openly. Unclean by the law, exhausted by years of suffering, she reached out in faith — and power went forth from Him. Her healing becomes a sign of what Christ longs to do for every soul that is “bleeding out” through sin, despair, or distance from God.The Gospel does not deny suffering. It reveals its meaning. Jesus restores life not only to bodies, but to souls cut off from grace. Through Confession, Holy Communion, and Eucharistic adoration, He continues to pour out the same mercy that flowed from His pierced side — blood and water that cleanse, revive, and nourish us for eternal life.Saint Blaise understood this truth, and demonstrated it with his life and martyrdom. So do the other saints whose relics remind us that even the smallest contact with the truly holy — like touching the hem of a garment — can become a channel of grace when done with faith.Whether we seek physical healing or carry unseen wounds of the soul, the invitation is the same: Run to the Divine Physician. Do not be afraid. Reach out. He still heals. ★ Support this podcast ★
Full Text of Readings The Saint of the day is Saint Blaise Saint Blaise's Story We know more about the devotion to Saint Blaise by Christians around the world than we know about the saint himself. His feast is observed as a holy day in some Eastern Churches. In 1222, the Council of Oxford prohibited servile labor in England on Blaise's feast day. The Germans and Slavs hold him in special honor, and for decades many United States Catholics have sought the annual Saint Blaise blessing for their throats. We know that Bishop Blaise was martyred in his episcopal city of Sebastea, Armenia, in 316. The legendary Acts of St. Blaise were written 400 years later. According to them Blaise was a good bishop, working hard to encourage the spiritual and physical health of his people. Although the Edict of Toleration (311), granting freedom of worship in the Roman Empire, was already five years old, persecution still raged in Armenia. Blaise was apparently forced to flee to the back country. There he lived as a hermit in solitude and prayer, but he made friends with the wild animals. One day a group of hunters seeking wild animals for the amphitheater stumbled upon Blaise's cave. They were first surprised and then frightened. The bishop was kneeling in prayer surrounded by patiently waiting wolves, lions and bears. The legend has it that as the hunters hauled Blaise off to prison, a mother came with her young son who had a fish bone lodged in his throat. At Blaise's command the child was able to cough up the bone. Agricolaus, governor of Cappadocia, tried to persuade Blaise to sacrifice to pagan idols. The first time Blaise refused, he was beaten. The next time he was suspended from a tree and his flesh torn with iron combs or rakes. Finally, he was beheaded. Reflection Four centuries give ample opportunity for fiction to creep in with fact. Who can be sure how accurate Blaise's biographer was? But biographical details are not essential. Blaise is seen as one more example of the power those have who give themselves entirely to Jesus. As Jesus told his apostles at the Last Supper, “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you” (John 15:7). With faith we can follow the lead of the Church in asking for Blaise's protection.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

We spend so much time doing, reacting, and pushing forward that we rarely stop to think about what's actually going on inside our own minds, or to invite God into that space. In this episode of Imagine Yourself Podcast, co-hosts Lanée Blaise and Sandy Kovach encourage a slower, more intentional check-in that centers our thoughts, our hearts, and our faith.In a culture driven by hustle and constant noise, our thoughts can quietly drift toward pressure, guilt, and perfectionism. This conversation explores how slowing down helps us get centered with God, recognize what's shaping our inner dialogue, and replace harsh self-talk with grace. When we learn to think about what we're thinking about and invite God into that process, clarity grows, peace deepens, and we begin to move forward with greater intention.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy awareness of your thoughts is a spiritual practice and how noticing what's happening inside you can realign your mind with God's truth.How to get centered with God in a hustle-driven world without adding another “spiritual task” to your to-do list.The connection between inner dialogue and grace and how faith-filled self-talk can replace guilt and pressure.Why rest and reflection aren't optional for spiritual health and how slowing down helps you hear God more clearly.How pausing before reacting changes everything from your emotions to your faith to your everyday decisions.
Forrest is joined by psychiatrist Dr. Blaise Aguirre to discuss Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). They explore how extreme emotional sensitivity can lead to despair, self-hatred, suicidality, and an intense fear of abandonment, and how DBT can teach the skills needed to regulate those feelings. They discuss the nature of self-hatred, how to change the stories you've told about yourself, and how their insight and empathy can make people with BPD some of his favorite clients to work with. About our Guest: Dr. Blaise Aguirre is the medical director of 3East at McLean Hospital, a residential DBT program for adolescents and young adults, and is an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He's also the co-author of a number of books including DBT for Dummies, and the author of I Hate Myself: Overcome Self-Loathing and Realize Why You're Wrong About You.
