Song: Got It Goin' On Music by: Patricia Norton   Notes: Thanks to Liz Rog, I'm sharing this relatively new song (she requested it after hearing me sing it briefly on the road trip when we were exchanging songs.) I wrote it for my fabulous songleaders in training as we were tackling sometimes intimidating skills and breaking them apart into what we could actually try next. Singing it this week has been encouraging to me as I grapple with elevated pain levels, trying different next things to see what can help my body find more ease. I sing it, I get out of breath, I start laughing, I have to dig in a bit to keep it rolling -- by the time I was done recording, I was grinning and felt energized and like it was worth trying another thing! I hope it's a lift for you, too...   Songwriter Info: You can find out more about me in general here: https://www.juneberrymusic.com/about-patricia.html Or the whole team that puts this podcast out here: https://www.abreathofsong.com/about.html   Sharing Info: Feel free to sing this song yourself and with your friends and family as often as you please!

In this deeply harmonizing episode, Emily is joined by Sigmar Berg, an artist, designer, and the visionary founder of Lovetuner. Joining the podcast from his remote canyon home in Malibu, California, the Sagittarius founder shares the profound history and modern science behind the Lovetuner: a revolutionary single-tone mindfulness tool that aligns your energy field with the 528 Hz frequency, universally recognized as the vibration of love, transformation, and cellular repair. Sigmar journeys through his transition from a fast-paced European design career to anchoring down a global peace mission. This conversation strips away the guesswork of breathwork to provide an immediate, audible pathway out of the head and directly into the intelligence of the heart field. In This Episode, We Cover: The Anatomy of the Lovetuner: How this wearable single-tone flute acts as an energetic tuning fork for the human instrument, expanding lung volume and resetting the nervous system. The 528 Hz Conspiracy: Sigmar exposes the historical alteration of standard musical scales detailing how the universal "C" note was systematically suppressed when the Rockefeller Foundation and historical forces shifted standard tuning from A=444 Hz down to A=440 Hz. The Sound Matrix of Nature: The mathematical perfection of 528 Hz, from the literal vibration of green chlorophyll on the light spectrum to the natural hum of honeybees. Binaural Beats vs. Single Tones: Sigmar shares a personal story of utilizing 528 Hz overlaid with a 2 Hz delta wave to miraculously heal a severed ulnar nerve in his arm in under six months. The Devastating Impact of Modern Noise: Why mindless exposure to standard pop radio and EMF radiation acts as an intentional tool for cognitive dissonance, and how to intentionally curate your daily "sound carpet." Eliminating Bullying in Classrooms: The early, non-commercial years of the Lovetuner Foundation, where integrating a 5-minute morning tuning circle completely eradicated bullying and skyrocketed focus in elementary schools. Overcoming Grief and Trauma: How the 528 Hz tone is being utilized as a profound, interdimensional bridge for veterans overcoming PTSD and families navigating severe grief. The Lovetuner Instructions The Practice: The Perfect Six-Cycle Tune. Inhale deeply through your nose, then exhale steadily through your Lovetuner for 15 to 30 seconds, maintaining a coherent, unwavering tone. Complete at least six cycles. Crucial: Once the physical tuning is complete, sit in absolute, uninterrupted silence for 30 seconds. This stillness is exactly where the healing integration occurs.

Usually, the answer is none.The Temperature Shift: If the anxiety feels physical, splash cold water on your face to trigger the mammalian dive reflex and drop your heart rate instantly.The Compassionate Pause: Take three long, audible sighs to reset your logic center before you allow your mind to wander into tomorrow.A Warm ClosingThank you for doing the hard work of staying present today.

You've heard the word Tantra thrown around, maybe even Googled it at 11pm and come away more confused than when you started. Same. In this episode, Leah and Willow go straight to the source, your listener questions, and bust the biggest myths about Tantra, tantric sex, and what any of this actually has to do with your real life, your real body, and your real relationships. ⛤ Classical vs. neo-Tantra explained. Tantra means "tool for expansion" and neo-Tantra is showing up right now as a vehicle for sexual healing, because the culture needs it.⛤ White Tantra vs. red Tantra. White Tantra is practicing your instrument solo (breath, meditation, presence). Red Tantra is making music with the band. You need both.⛤ Ejaculatory choice. Tantra may be the most effective, side-effect-free path for men who want to last longer. Breath and sound are the two primary dials and learning to ride the arousal scale changes everything.⛤ What a tantric orgasm actually is. Forget the genital sneeze. Full-body orgasms spread sensation from genitals to fingertips, toes, heart, and third eye and your body can be trained to get there.⛤ Why sounding is non-negotiable. The jaw and throat mirror the pelvic bowl, and the vagus nerve runs right through it. Making sound isn't just sexy, it's how sensation travels through your whole body.⛤ Breathwork as your fastest on-ramp. Slow nasal breathing drops cortisol, eases performance anxiety, and helps partners co-regulate, making intimacy feel safer and more pleasurable, fast.LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: https://www.sexreimagined.com/blog/tantric-sex-questions-answered The Sacred Spot Weekend | July 17-19, 2026 in NYC | Join Leah & Guy Shahar to learn the Tantric Sacred Spot Ritual Sequence! Click Here to Register.  Erotic Polarity Online Masterclass - Join us July 29th for a live masterclass on zoom.

I've just returned from Self Love Camp, a retreat where I spent a few days guiding breathwork, listening to inspiring speakers, learning new things, and stepping away from the routines of everyday life.As I drove home, I found myself reflecting on something I always notice after retreats and intentional breaks: I come back feeling different. Clearer. More creative. More connected to myself. And it got me wondering - what is it about stepping away that feels so powerful?In this episode of Take a Breath, I explore how to give your nervous system a real breath and what I believe is one of the missing ingredients in modern life: space. Space to think, feel, reflect and hear yourself again. Drawing on neuroscience, nervous system science, and my own experiences of attending and hosting retreats, I share why creating intentional space isn't a luxury - it's something our brains and bodies genuinely need.In this episode, I share:

Today’s Topics: Father Robert Elias joins Terry 1) Gospel – Matthew 7:1-5 – Jesus said to His disciples: “Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,' while the wooden beam is in your eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.” Memorial of Saint John Fisher, Bishop, and Saint Thomas More, Martyrs Memorial of Saint Paulinus of Nola, Bishop Saints John, Thomas, and Paulinus, pray for us! 2, 3, 4) In Part One, Terry and Father Robert discuss Saint John of the Cross, his Spirituality and what he teaches us

Welcome to Elemental Explorations, a podcast and practice following water, fire, earth, and air through the seasonal shifts of the equinoxes and solstices hosted by Bethany Carder of My Resonant Frequencies and Gina Wisotzky of Incandescent Tarot.Together, we move with the elements as living guides — through breath, sound, movement, image, myth, and deep listening. Gina brings the wisdom of tarot as an embodied and intuitive language, helping us listen to the symbols, archetypes, and relational patterns moving through the Fire Body. Bethany brings astronomical astrology and stellar somatics as a way of attuning to the living sky, the solar rhythm, and the body's relationship with Earth, season, and cosmos.In this episode, released on the Summer Solstice, we turn toward the Sun and the Fire Body — the heat that animates, clarifies, transforms, and calls us into motion as we cross the threshold from spring's waters into the fullness of summer light.Episode OverviewMoving from the Moon-Water Body into the Sun-Fire Body, this episode uses astronomical astrology, stellar somatics, and tarot to explore solar vitality, digestion, radiance, and expression. At the Summer Solstice, the Sun illuminates this Taurus-Gemini threshold, where embodied earth meets breath, voice, curiosity, and exchange.The fire body is our internal hearth: warmth, circulation, metabolism, expression, and the capacity to turn experience into energy. Through breath, humming, laughter, and deep listening, we work with the body's rhythms directly: Breath of Fire awakens heat and alertness, humming organizes the system through vibration and the vagus nerve, and laughter gives activation a pathway into expression, release, and rest.Fire becomes not force, but the body's capacity to metabolize experience without burning out.Brief Safety NoteThese solar practices alter respiratory and circulatory rhythms. Breath of Fire, or Kapalabhati, is not recommended during pregnancy or while navigating high blood pressure, cardiovascular conditions, vertigo, hernias, gastric ulcers, epilepsy, or severe respiratory concerns.If you feel dizzy, strained, or overwhelmed, return to natural breathing. Your autonomy is central to this practice; pause, soften, or rest at any time.Closing PracticeIn the spirit of Pauline Oliveros' Deep Listening, we open to fire as teacher and living guide. Our closing soundscape follows a simple elemental arc: solar winds, sunrise, cicadas, fire crackle, lava flows, seismic rumble, and sunset fire crackle amid the hum of crickets, and Koshi fire chimes.We invite you to honor your own fire body through simple acts of attention and tending: step into morning sunlight, cook with presence, sit near a candle or hearth, listen to cicadas or crickets, feel warmth on stone or skin, hum into the chest, laugh from the belly, breathe with rhythm, and rest before the fire becomes too much.Notice how fire lives in your place: in heat, dryness, growth, combustion, electricity, digestion, decay, repair, and renewal. Learn who tends fire where you live — on the land, in the home, in community, in ceremony, in ecological care — and consider how your own vitality is connected to that wider tending.We honor Indigenous fire tenders whose relationships with fire have shaped and protected living landscapes across generations. This threshold invites us to learn how Sun and fire shape our own places, and who is tending the ecological health of the lands we call home. This is a public episode.

In a chamber of the Castle Eschatonica, filled with technology from another world, Veile, Caoimhe, Elena, and Brontë investigate the truth behind their mysterious gems (and the seemingly lost universes they were once connected to).

Expansion and contraction are the way of things. There is a reason why the universe is not in conflict. It stays in perfect balance. There is a place in our lives where we are not going to grow any more. We stop taking out and we give back. If you don't breathe out when you are meant to, you hold a tremendous amount of conflict and tension within you. Wanting more is the cause of suffering. Now is the time to find a blissful way to breathe out. 

What is the absolute least amount that you can do right now to move, to shift, and to get unstuck?The answer is remarkably simple: just breathe.In this episode of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are diving back into the world of "Movement Morsels" (a direct continuation of last week's Episode #208!). Today, we are exploring a beautiful, powerful truth: simply breathing is movement.This is not your typical podcast episode. There is no formal intro or outro. Instead, after a very brief setup, Lorrie guides you through a short, powerful 3-minute Breath Practice designed to help you tune out the noise of the external world and tune into the magnificent, hidden choreography happening inside your body.What You'll Experience in This Breath Morsel: The Anatomy of the Inhale: Learn how your diaphragm moves downward like a gentle piston, massaging your liver, stomach, and pancreas to create space and boost digestion. The Hug of the Exhale: Visualize your diaphragm doming upward like an upside-down umbrella, nesting against your lungs and giving your heart a physical, soothing "hug." The Internal Pump: Understand how this rhythmic internal tide filters out stagnation, shifts heavy emotions, and signals absolute safety to your nervous system. External Release: Experience how tuning into your internal movement allows tight external muscles—like your neck, shoulders, and lower back—to completely melt and let go.How to use this episode: I highly recommend downloading or saving this specific episode to your favorite player. Come back to it at different times of the day, in different circumstances, and notice how it moves you.Mentioned in this Episode: Episode #208: Movement Morsels (Catch up on last week's episode to learn more about the philosophy behind minimal movement!)Enjoy the show?Please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!

Our life can carry us away when we aren't looking. The mindfulness we get from practicing meditation can very easily point us back in the direction of the present moment that we can loose sight of so easily. The breath is our compass. In and out. In and out. One breath at a time.

As Makerfield goes to the polls today, Nish and Coco take a look back at the campaign, interrogate Andy Burnham's ‘King of the North' brand, and dig into what ‘Manchesterism' actually is–and how it could work on a national scale. They're joined by Jack Dulhanty, journalist at Manchester Mill, to break down whether we can expect a people-pleaser for our next Prime Minister, how voting intentions have split households, and why a four-month old political party has given Reform a run for its money. Plus: following the Court of Appeal's ruling upholding the ban on Palestine Action and the terror sentencing of the ‘Filton 4' activists, we speak to Akiko Hart, director of Liberty, the UK's oldest human rights organisation, to understand the consequences of applying such a broad definition of terrorism.  And, as a social media ban looms for under-16s, what could this mean for the future of digital privacy in the UK? USEFUL LINKSSee Ben Rhodes and Coco Khan live!

In EP 184 of Sergio Talks Podcast, we almost didn't make it through this episode

In this episode of The Healers Cafe, Manon speaks with Dr. Yun Kim and Dr. Jacques MoraMarco discussed their new book, "Walking Your Way to Vitality," which integrates walking, breath work, and mindfulness. They emphasized the importance of mindful walking, which involves coordinating steps with dynamic breathing and using a specific mudra to enhance focus. The book includes QR codes and drone footage to demonstrate techniques.  For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/drs-kim-moramarco      Highlights from today's episode include:  Dr. Yun Kim explains mindful walking as a way to "check in" to the body—using breath, movement, and mudra to anchor awareness in the present.  Dr. Jacques MoraMarco talks about 5,000–7,000+ steps and about 30 minutes of walking daily can significantly reduce risk of major diseases and improve longevity. Manon Bolliger states simple rituals (conscious walking, bedtime routines, putting phones away) help the body understand you "mean business" about healing and sleep.   ABOUT DR KIM & DR MORAMARCO  Jacques MoraMarco, a doctor of traditional East Asian medicine, has been a licensed acupuncturist since 1977.  A pioneer in the field of Asian medicine, he took the first acupuncture license examination ever administered in the state of California.

Send us Fan MailS6 E135 - How to Beat Jet Lag in the Land of the Midnight SunDan and Michelle discuss how traveling across time zones to northern destinations with very long summer daylight (e.g., Alaska, Canada, Iceland, Scandinavia) can disrupt circadian rhythm cues and worsen jet lag. They explain that the brain relies heavily on light, not clocks, to set alertness and sleepiness, and offer practical tips: immediately shift to destination time for meals, caffeine, naps, and sleep; consider travel direction (east vs. west) and use daylight/darkness strategically; “create your own sunset” by reducing light 1–2 hours before bed; pack darkness tools like an eye mask and curtain clips; keep naps short (about 20–30 minutes); stop caffeine at least 6 hours before bedtime and avoid using alcohol for sleep; build sleep pressure with daytime activity; use melatonin thoughtfully as a timing cue with medical guidance; and don't catastrophize one imperfect night—aim for progress, not perfection.00:00 Midnight Sun Jet Lag02:27 Circadian Clock Basics06:05 Tip 1 Destination Time09:58 Tip 2 Travel Direction12:52 Tip 3 Create Sunset17:49 Tip 4 Pack Darkness19:43 Tip 5 Nap Smart22:27 Tip 6 Caffeine Alcohol24:10 Tip 7 Build Sleep Pressure26:22 Tip 8 Melatonin Timing28:08 Tip 9 No Catastrophizing30:06 Simple Travel Sleep Plan31:37 Wrap Up And Resources✨ Real rest isn't just about falling asleep, it's about feeling at ease again.

We spend a truly unreasonable amount of time on the fact that Tharion got wet and grew zero fins, Aidas casually admits he's known about Helena's salt therapy room this whole time (so what was House of Sky and Breath even FOR), and the Golden Prince of Hel strolls out and goes "welcome, son" like that's a normal thing to say. Meanwhile, Ithan is out here trying to resurrect his voodoo doll wolf alpha, Ruhn and Lidia are doing whatever that was in the cave, and Bryce becomes Queen of literally everything before deciding that prophecies just mean whatever you want them to mean — which, respectfully, is not how that works.

Before there was prayer, before there was song, before there was language, there was breath. Across ancient traditions, breath and spirit were understood to be one and the same, revealing air as one of the most intimate ways we experience the sacred.

What if the most profound spiritual teaching available to you has been happening every moment of your life?In this episode, Kevin explores a deceptively simple question:Why can't you hold your breath long enough to die?At first glance, the answer appears obvious. Biology tells us the autonomic nervous system takes over. The body breathes whether we consciously choose to or not. But what if that explanation only describes the mechanism and not the mystery?This conversation moves far beyond physiology and into a direct investigation of consciousness itself.Why can human beings intentionally damage the body in countless ways, yet remain unable to simply decide to stop breathing forever? What intelligence overrides conscious will? What force continues choosing life when the mind attempts to choose otherwise?Kevin examines the possibility that breath is more than a biological function. Drawing from ancient wisdom traditions, contemplative philosophy, mysticism, and direct observation, he explores the idea that breath may be the bridge between the visible and the invisible - the interface through which consciousness animates the human experience.Along the way, he investigates the relationship between awareness and identity, the body and the self, the dream and the dreamer. From yogic teachings and indigenous traditions to the linguistic mysteries surrounding ancient spiritual texts, this episode challenges listeners to reconsider assumptions about who they are and what it means to be alive.The discussion also revisits one of Kevin's favorite themes: the dream analogy.Every night the world disappears. Your job disappears. Your relationships disappear. Your problems disappear. Yet something remains. Something witnesses the absence of the waking world and the appearance of the dream world. What is that presence? And how is it connected to the awareness experiencing this moment right now?If consciousness comes first, if the body is more like an avatar than an identity, then breath becomes something extraordinary. It becomes the handshake between the dreamer and the dream. The power source behind the character. The evidence that life is happening independent of the story we tell about ourselves.This episode is not an argument, a doctrine, or a belief system. It is an invitation to investigate.To sit quietly.To observe.To notice that breathing is already happening.And then to ask a question that has echoed through every authentic spiritual tradition:Who is breathing?Not intellectually.Not philosophically.But directly.Because perhaps the answer you've been searching for has been arriving with every breath since the day this body first opened its eyes.
