These days I sometimes have to remind myself to keep breathing. I think this is true of human beings across all of our differences and divides. But in a room in New York City just before the turn of this year, I was regrounded by this fierce and joyous conversation with Joy Harjo and Tracy K. Smith. I invite you to settle into your soft breathing body with these two wise women as companions and with a sense of poetry as a technology, as Tracy describes in her new book: a technology for rising to our truest, highest selves, even amidst grief and mystery and danger, and bearing witness to each other as we do so. I think all of us in the room left a little more lighthearted and alive as this conversation unfolded. I hope that will be your experience too. Tracy K. Smith and Joy Harjo are former U.S. poet laureates, beloved On Being guests, and friends. They are each wildly and deservedly awarded and not just as poets — Tracy also as a teacher and professor at Harvard, Joy as a saxophonist and painter. We were brought together at Symphony Space in Manhattan to celebrate their newest books: Fear Less by Tracy and Girl Warrior by Joy. Find an excellent transcript of this show, edited by humans, on our show page. Sign yourself and others up for The Pause to be on our mailing list for all things On Being and to receive Krista's monthly Saturday newsletter, including a heads up on new episodes, special offerings, recommendations, and event invitations. Joy Harjo was the 23rd Poet Laureate of the United States. Among many honors, she has received the Poetry Society of America's Frost Medal and a National Humanities Medal. She is the inaugural Artist-in-Residence for the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She lives on the Muscogee Nation Reservation in Oklahoma. Her new book of essays is Girl Warrior. Forthcoming in 2026 is her 12th book of poetry and a new album co-produced with esperanza spalding. Tracy K. Smith was the 22nd Poet Laureate of the United States. She teaches at Harvard University, where she is Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, Professor of African and African American Studies, and Susan S. and Kenneth L. Wallach Professor at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute. Among her many honors, she has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and is a Chancellor of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Her new memoir is Fear Less. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Welcome to Day 3 of the Elegant Productivity Meditation Series: Get More Done With Less Stress. Today's theme is Focus—the kind that feels calm, clean, and sustainable. In this episode you'll use the Mental Clarity Breath to settle your nervous system, reduce distraction, and return to a single point of attention so you can move through your day with more ease and follow-through. Today's breathing technique: Mental Clarity Breath (App Technique) Inhale gently through the nose for 4… hold for 2… exhale slowly for 6. Repeat for 5 rounds, letting your exhale smooth your thoughts and steady your focus. Today's intention: Choose one meaningful task and single-task it—just for today. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to the Elegant Productivity Meditation Series—a calming, results-oriented week designed to help you accomplish more with less stress. Each episode supports a different pillar of sustainable productivity: clarity, focus, energy, time, momentum, boundaries, and integration. You'll train your attention, reset your nervous system, simplify priorities, and build a graceful rhythm you can actually maintain—so productivity feels steady, spacious, and aligned. Best time to listen: morning planning, before deep work, mid-day reset, or after work to release mental clutter. Weekly intention: calm mind, clear priorities, consistent follow-through—without burnout. This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, "Elegant Productivity Meditation Series: Get More Done With Less Stress," episodes 2882-2888. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - STOP BEING A TIME VICTIM: Eliminate from your speech words that indicate not having enough time, or having too much time. Each day, send one tiny ripple of kindness: silently offer a loving-kindness phrase to yourself, a neutral person, and a difficult moment (not necessarily a difficult person). Keep it light—3 breaths each— and track your streak with a simple checkmark. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: VISUALIZATION: Mental Focus Day 2: AFFIRMATION: "Time comes from me." Day 3: CLARITY BREATH: Inhale: to a comfortable count Pause: to the same count Exhale: to the same count Day 4: DHYANA MUDRA Lose yourself in time and space by placing your right hand on top of your left hand, and touching thumb tips together. Day 5: CHAKRA FOCUS: 7th chakra for interconnectedness Day 6: INNER CLARITY FLOW MEDITATION: combining the week's techniques Day 7: WEEKLY REVIEW MEDITATION: closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

In this episode of Makers & Mystics, Stephen Roach sits down with cultural critic, writer, and iconographer Jonathan Pageau to explore the state of contemporary storytelling and the enduring power of myth.Pageau, creator of The Symbolic World, explains how symbols operate beneath conscious awareness to shape imagination and culture. Together, they discuss why traditional narratives appear depleted, how propaganda differs from true myth, and why fairy tales continue to communicate truths modern culture struggles to articulate.The conversation turns toward artists and storytellers, what it means to create work rooted in beauty, transcendence, and enduring symbolic patterns rather than novelty or cynicism. The conversation also connects with the theme of The Breath and the Clay 2026 —what it means to make space: space in our art, in our imagination, and in our lives for transcendent meaning to take root.Jonathan Pageau will be our keynote presenter for this year's event in Winston-Salem, NC, March 20-22. http://www.thebreathandtheclay.com Send a textJoin Malcolm Guite, Jonathan Pageau, Stephen Roach, and so many others!http://www.thebreathandtheclay.comUse the code "mystic26" for a special podcast listener rate!Support the show Get Tickets to The Breath and The Clay 2026 featuring Malcolm Guite, Jon Guerra, and Jonathan Pageau!

In this episode of Take a Breath, I'm sharing why awareness is always the first step in nervous system regulation — and why, without it, even the best tools and techniques won't truly stick.So many of us are living on autopilot, reacting before we even realise we're reacting. I know this deeply, because that was me for most of my life. In this episode, I gently unpack how awareness takes us out of automatic mode, creates space, and gives us back choice — without forcing, fixing, or judging ourselves.This is a foundational episode if you want to feel calmer, more grounded, and less hijacked by your reactions in everyday life.In this episode, you'll learn:Why awareness always comes before breathwork, tools, or techniques when it comes to regulating your nervous systemWhat awareness actually looks like in real life (and what it isn't)How awareness creates “the gap” between feeling and reacting — and why that gap is where regulation beginsHow simply noticing and pausing can begin to rewire your nervous system through neuroplasticityHow to start making awareness more natural and automatic in daily lifeIf you've ever thought, “I know I'm overreacting but I can't seem to stop,” this episode will help you understand why — and, more importantly, offer a much gentler way forward.Download 15 Breaths to Calm Anxiety - a FREE 5 minute audio to calm you down in real time.

When we lose sight of what to be thankful for, we start to lose our ability to enjoy our life. When gratitude evades us, joy escapes us and we can slip into cynicism and scarcity. There is no happiness found in scarcity. This meditation hopes to help the listener return to the present moment to find themselves grateful for this breath, this time, this moment, this life.

Ever wanted to hear a middle age man waffle on incoherently for half an hour about how he went from BMX bum to BSD botherer (1) ???? Well then, you've come to the right place :-) Behold my banal FLOSS adventure of 15 very odd years in all it's hax & glory! You're got to give it away to keep it ;-) Weirdly there is a wonderful Scottish BMX brand called BSD... If you ever want some cool BSD stickers or T-Shirts they make some funky stuff... P.S.

Why is it that we train people to survive under pressure… but never teach them how to come home to themselves?After 20 years serving as a Navy Hospital Corpsman alongside Marines in some of the most demanding environments imaginable, Patrick Nardulli realized something profound: toughness wasn't the same as resilience.In this episode, Patrick shares his journey from combat medicine to nervous system regulation — including the moment a heart rate variability monitor revealed he was “thriving” on the outside but dysregulated beneath the surface.We explore:The difference between heart rate and heart rate variabilityWhy high performers often live in chronic sympathetic overdriveHow breath becomes the bridge between mind and bodyThe role of coherence in leadership and relationshipsPractical tools to regulate your nervous system in real timeShow Partners:Get your MENTAL FITNESS BLUEPRINT here!

"Then we heard the grass blades bending under the laziest hoovesbut they know how slow they should be grazing at noon Then we heard the pine twigs snapping under bare feet and fresh blisters forming from the here and now because they know how fast good pain turns to fluidThen I heard the tallest reeds breaking under boots of rubber and I couldn't help but think of the 87 months it took those barks to become adult because they know when they're ready to bleedIt's when the man's hands form the cup for the milk to rest and sit and wait and stop moving because they both know how long fluid turns solid so it can stretch and bend and stretch and bend again between hardened hands of fewer grooves than blistersBut the blisters didn't know when that large cylinder would come to move things along and the man became two and they learnt each others' names as they rolled and compressed and rolled and compressed again until the rubber was already rubber and the blisters were gone because the hands became idle while the cylinder kept turning for god knows how long So the men unlearnt how to tell time and the two men became one again and he no longer knew his name so was now just “the man” from somewhere he can't remember and how did we get here?First we heard the tallest reeds whistling"Text by Yorgos O'Neill-Zafeiropoulos In this soundscape, I have worked solely with the original sound clip "Instruments in the forest at dawn (flute and harp)". This 1993 recording was made by ethnomusicologist Louis Sarno in the Central African Republic and features the Bayaka musicians Momboli on flute and Boyobi on the geedal (bow harp).You will hear this clip around 34 times but at different speeds, making "time" — and therefore pitch — the main variable altered to produce the soundscape.

Any time we decide to do something that will make us healthier, happier, more authentic, so often, we are met with resistance. That resistance manifests in many different ways. Fear, anxiety, insecurity but no matter how that resistance shows up in our lives, it is blocking us from becoming our true self. This meditation, inspired by a quote by Steven Pressfield, the author of The War of Art, aims to help us be more mindful of the resistance that is getting in our way so we can push past it and transcend our former selves.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Calm The Bleep Down is a channel and podcast discussing the benefits and adventures that come from a practice of meditation.

Performance mindset coach Emma Murray returns to The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast to break down why even highly capable people struggle under pressure - and how to fix it.Emma explains that humans are not wired to perform at their best in business, sport, or life - we're wired for survival. When pressure hits, our attention naturally drifts to fear, loss, and outcomes we can't control, pulling us out of the present moment. Through powerful examples from Formula One, golf, sales, leadership, parenting, and elite sport, Emma shows how performance collapses the moment attention leaves the task.Together, Dwayne and Emma unpack the difference between skillset and mindset, why elite performers win through attention regulation, and how “chunking down” - narrowing focus to something small, controllable, and strength-based - restores clarity, confidence, and execution.Episode Highlights:00:00 – Emma opens by explaining why humans are wired for survival, not greatness.01:00 – Dwayne introduces Emma and frames the conversation around skillset, mindset, and attention.03:30 – Emma explains why attention patterns are universal across sport, business, and life.06:00 – Golf example: how attention drifts under pressure and breaks execution.08:30 – Skillset vs mindset explained using the “boxes within boxes” analogy.11:00 – Scott McLaughlin story and consistency through mindset regulation.13:30 – Expectations, execution, and why lowering outcomes is the wrong solution.16:00 – Survival wiring: fear of loss vs fear of missing gain.18:30 – Sales leadership example and why people avoid known next steps.21:00 – Horse riding comeback story and gratitude removing danger thinking.23:30 – Freeze response explained and attention leaving the arena.26:00 – Why leaders can't fix fear with cheerleading or pressure.28:30 – Catching attention drift and recognizing A-game vs B-game signals.31:30 – Small focus strategies for golf, sales, and presentations.34:30 – Breath as the fastest way to regulate attention and mindset.38:30 – Process focus vs outcome focus and competitive advantage.41:30 – Post-execution review introduced: critique over criticism.44:30 – Bonus segment setup: “Chunking Down” as a performance tool.47:30 – Chunking down explained with leadership, sales, and riding examples.Key Takeaways:Humans are wired for survival, not peak performancePressure pulls attention away from the present momentSkillset lives inside mindset — mindset determines deliveryOutcomes and comparison destabilize performanceSmall, controllable focus creates safety and clarityBreath is the fastest way to regulate attentionElite performers anchor attention on process, not resultsPerformance improves when danger is removed from the mindQuotes:“We are not wired to be great in competition or to be great in sales or business, or even a great friend for that matter, or a great parent.

Hello to you listening in Bellingham, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.There is nothing quite so still as an old growth forest to settle the anxiety I feel in these times of madness. Walking deep in the woods of the island's old growth forests a stillness beckons me to stop and listen deeply. The stillness asks if I can hear the immense power and depth of silence. I am reminded that all sounds arise from silence and fade back into silence.When we take the time to stop and experience silence we calm our mind, still the crazy chatter, breathe more deeply. Allow stillness. Stay with silence as long as you can. Tune in to your intuition, see clearly, hear your heartbeat, feel the blood coursing in your fingertips, and sense the steadiness of your breath coming and going easily. Remind yourself that we are alive and connected to all beings.Question: How does it feel to seek a bit of refuge in the stillness of the present moment? How does it feel to be alive, vibrant, and in tune with silence? You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.On Wednesday, February 18, we're in Deuteronomy 8—and it pairs perfectly with yesterday's warning in Haggai 1. Haggai confronts misplaced priorities. Deuteronomy 8 confronts what often creates them: prosperity.Moses is looking Israel in the eyes and saying, “You're about to walk into a good land—streams, harvest, abundance, stability… so don't forget the Lord.” Because the wilderness can break you, but comfort can erase you.And here's the detail that will mess with you: “Your clothing did not wear out… and your foot did not swell these forty years.” Forty years of walking—and God held their bodies together, their clothes together, their daily bread together. That's not a one-time miracle. That's daily mercy.This episode is a call to recognize what we tend to overlook: the miracles that feel “normal” because they're constant. Breath in your lungs. Strength to work. A mind that can think. A Savior who intercedes. The Spirit who dwells. Grace that keeps showing up.Deuteronomy 8 is God saying: I took care of you when you had nothing. Don't get comfortable and start acting like you did it when you have everything. Prosperity is a test—because it tempts you to trust the gift and forget the Giver.So here's today's challenge: write down the mercies you're in danger of forgetting. Name them. Remember them. Let memory turn into worship—before comfort turns into drifting.
What if intuition isn't something you think — but something you feel? In this episode, Doug Bytes sits down with embodiment teacher and author Philip Shepherd, author of Radical Wholeness, Deep Witness, and co-author of Deep Fitness, to explore how modern culture disconnects men from their bodies — and how reclaiming embodied awareness restores intuition, clarity, and grounded strength. Philip shares the story of his teenage bicycle journey across Europe, the Middle East, India, and Japan — a self-initiated rite of passage that shaped his understanding of culture, identity, and embodied intelligence. We explore: · Why intuition lives in the body, not the thinking mind · The intelligence of the pelvic floor and "pelvic bowl" · How cultural conditioning pulls us out of our center · A simple pelvic floor breathing practice · The concept of embodied presence · Energy integration and healing "stuck" emotion · The science of myokines and muscle as metabolic medicine · Why strength training (not cardio) may be foundational for longevity · Training to momentary muscular failure and deep fitness principles · Breath, panic, and remaining calm under pressure This conversation bridges somatics, men's personal development, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and strength science — offering practical tools for men who want to develop intuition, resilience, and grounded leadership. If you're interested in embodiment, radical wholeness, conscious masculinity, breathwork, metabolic health, or strength training for longevity — this episode delivers both philosophy and practical insight.
In this episode of Makers & Mystics, Stephen Roach continues the series The Pace of Beauty with Dr. Timothy Patitsas, author of The Ethics of Beauty.Focusing on Chapter Six, The Mystical Architect, they explore the inseparability of beauty and goodness, the cruciform nature of the artist's journey, and how trauma has shaped modern art's uneasy relationship with beauty. Together, they consider architecture as a foundational pattern of experience and the slow work of cultural renewal through restored patterns of beauty.Learn more about Dr. Patitsas and his work: https://www.stnicholaspress.net/store/the-ethics-of-beautySend a textSupport the show Get Tickets to The Breath and The Clay 2026 featuring Malcolm Guite, Jon Guerra, and Jonathan Pageau!

Swami Sarvapriyananda unpacks the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta and its central claim: you are not the body, not the mind, not even your thoughts — you are pure consciousness itself. Through rigorous reasoning rather than blind belief, he guides us step by step into a direct inquiry of who we truly are.We explore the limits of faith-based religion, the pitfalls of mystical experience, the distinction between intelligence and consciousness in the age of AI, and the profound implications of non-duality. This conversation is not about adopting a belief system — it is about dismantling false identities until only the undeniable remains.FREE electrolyte sample pack with any purchase @ https://drinkLMNT.com/KnowThyselfBON CHARGE - 15% off red light therapy products I personally usehttps://www.boncharge.com/knowthyself[Code: KNOWTHYSELF]André's Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro01:18 What Is Advaita Vedanta06:44 The Promise Freedom From Suffering10:16 Liberation While Living15:09 The Three Spiritual Paths23:38 The Path of Knowledge Jnana Yoga28:42 Discovering Our Ignorance29:49 Descartes and the Indubitable Self32:36 Ad: LMNT34:50 Deconstructing the Self37:18 Are You the Body42:09 From Body to Breath to Mind47:30 AI and the Difference Between Intelligence and Consciousness49:12 Consciousness in Deep Sleep52:23 If Not Body or Mind What Are You53:23 Pure Consciousness Explained55:04 Dualism vs Non Dualism57:42 The Dream Analogy59:17 Maya and the Appearance of the Universe01:00:28 Ocean and Wave Analogy01:01:13 Ad: BON CHARGE01:03:35 The Shift From Person to Awareness01:10:00 Awareness as the Ground of Reality01:18:00 The Root of Suffering01:26:00 Ego Attachment and Fear01:34:00 Living as Pure Awareness01:42:00 Practical Self Inquiry01:50:00 Free Will Karma and Responsibility02:02:00 The Illusion of Individuality02:14:00 Consciousness and Modern Science02:26:00 Death Rebirth and Liberation02:38:00 What Enlightenment Really Means02:50:00 Final Clarifications on Non Duality02:55:00 Closing Reflections___________https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

Something is happening in our lives, and we can all feel it. Voices can be cloned. Stories can be automated. Images can be generated. And most of us are moving through it without fully stopping to ask what that does to our humanity..In this first part of a two-part conversation, Amy sits down with returning guest Bill Kirst to explore what it means to live in a world where we are beginning to question what is real. Bill reads from his Substack piece, The Buying of Our Breath, and the conversation goes straight to the human cost.What happens when you discover the voice that moved you didn't belong to a human body? When narration exists without presence? When we start editing out the very things that prove we are alive — the pause, the breath, the crack in the voice, our human “imperfections”?The things we once tried to erase may be our last undeniable proof of life.Take a listen. Hear the plea. Then decide for yourself — how far will we let the buying of our breath go?Threads We Pulled On:Rest Versus Restlessness – Explore why productivity tools promise freedom yet leave us feeling more unsettled and emotionally depleted.The Commodification of Voice – Understand what it means when Olympic narration, news reporting, and podcasting can be replicated without the human present.Proof of Life in Imperfection – See how coughs, pauses, filler words, and breath may become the rarest markers of authenticity.The Grief of Artificial Reality – Recognize the subtle but profound emotional toll of discovering something you believed was real was AI-generated.Discernment as a Leadership Skill – Consider why the future may demand deeper emotional intelligence and conscious filtering rather than faster consumption.Rebellion Against the Autofill – Exercising discernment and agency in a culture engineered for automation.
