Some episodes feel like a deep exhale. This one did that for me.In this episode, I sit down with Rebecca Schlosser, a trauma informed breathwork facilitator, yoga teacher, and free spirited midlifer joining me from Albuquerque, New Mexico. What unfolds is not a tidy how to conversation. It is real. Messy. Funny. Honest. And deeply embodied.We talk about what it means to be labeled too much and how that story shows up in midlife, relationships, creativity, money, and even how we decorate our homes. We explore how perfectionism freezes us, how comparison sneaks in quietly, and how breath becomes a way back to ourselves when life feels overwhelming or unfinished.Rebecca guides us through a gentle breathwork practice you can do as you listen, inviting you to meet the parts of yourself you usually try to push away. Not to fix them. Just to notice them. To breathe with them. To let them belong.This episode is about the paradox of slowing down in order to move forward. About trusting that the adventure is already happening, even when it looks imperfect or incomplete.In this full episode, we exploreThe idea of too muchness and why it might actually be your giftHow breathwork helps us meet insecurity instead of resisting itPerfectionism, comparison, and the nervous systemWhy small moments of presence can change everythingLearning to live breath by breath instead of striving for certaintyAs you listen, notice what you are being asked to meet rather than manage.Links and ResourcesFree 30-minute 1:1 discovery sessions: https://purple-firefly-12441.myflodesk.com/privatesessionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebeccahappybreaths/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rebecca.schlosser.5Send us a text Support the show✨ Join My TEDx Spokane Journey!

James Nestor joins host Ginny Yurich on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast for a conversation that can change how you think about energy, sleep, focus, and stress starting with the air you're breathing all day. You'll learn why indoor CO2 can quietly drag down cognition (especially in schools, offices, and hotels), why mouth breathing can spiral into snoring, fatigue, and anxious “air hunger,” and how nasal breathing supports calmer nervous systems and better performance. From kids to adults, athletes to desk workers, this episode connects the dots between modern living and the most overlooked pillar of health and leaves you with practical takeaways you can try immediately. ** Get your copy of Breath here Learn more about James and all he has to offer here Get the Free Guided Audio Breath Reset Tracks here ** 700 EPISODES TSHIRT LAUNCH...

Niraj Naik is a former U.K. pharmacist who left the pill-for-every-ill treadmill after a debilitating autoimmune illness forced him to rethink healing from the ground up. He restored his health through breathwork, meditation, music, and nutrition—and founded SOMA Breath, a method that fuses ancient pranayama with modern science and rhythm-based music to reduce anxiety, boost resilience, and reconnect people with purpose. With protocols now under study at Cambridge University, his mission is to awaken the body's "inner pharmacy," one breath at a time. Conversation Highlights include: -After years as a pharmacist, Niraj kept seeing patients take more prescriptions yet feel worse—so he stepped away to find a better way. -A personal health crash was the turning point; when surgery and heavy meds were the only options, Niraj looked for a "third path" rooted in breath, meditation, and lifestyle. -The first structured sessions—slow nasal breathing and longer, calmer exhales—gave immediate relief, revealing the body's "inner pharmacy." -Why Niraj chose the name SOMA: rather than reach for substances, create bliss from within by syncing breath, awareness, and the nervous system. -What sets SOMA apart: a sequence of protocols (focus, sleep, pain, emotional balance) that pair rhythm, breath-holds, and intention in a safe, step-by-step way. -Music isn't just a soundtrack—it's the metronome guiding rhythmic breathing and gentle, timed hypoxic holds to build resilience and CO2 tolerance. -In the quiet after an exhale, the mind goes still; Niraj calls this window "scientific prayer," a moment to plant intentions and rewire patterns. -Early data—and ongoing studies at Cambridge—point to rapid, measurable shifts that can be replicated, not just one-off miracles. -A simple try-along: nose-only breathing, a four-count rhythm, and a soft hum to raise nitric oxide and calm the system within minutes. Next, Michael leads a soothing guided practice—grounding listeners in love, gratitude, and an embodied sense of peace.

What does it mean to repair what has been broken, and can there be beauty in that work?In this episode of Makers & Mystics, Stephen Roach is joined by Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg for a thoughtful conversation on repentance, accountability, and the demanding work of repair. As part of our ongoing series on beauty, this episode explores repentance not as performance or apology, but as a process of truth-telling, learning, and transformation.Drawing from ancient Jewish wisdom and contemporary justice work, Rabbi Danya reflects on how individuals, communities, and institutions can move toward healing after harm—and why art, imagination, and beauty are essential for sustaining the work of justice and hope.Send us a textSupport the show Get Tickets to The Breath and The Clay 2026 featuring Malcolm Guite, Jon Guerra, and Jonathan Pageau!

It is a fun one and you don't want to miss it.In episode 102, Justin and I dive into his newest book, The Body Teaches the Soul: Ten Essential Habits to Form a Healthy and Holy Life. I loved reading Justin's book. As you can imagine, that made it hard to narrow down what parts of the book to focus on. But ultimately, I asked Justin if we could focus on the chapters of his book that covered 3 specific topics: breath, exercise and sex. It was such a good conversation!

What if you could train your body to stay calm under pressure the same way Navy SEALs do? In this conversation with Level 3 Wim Hof Method instructor Brandon Powell, we explore the three-pillar system of breath work, cold exposure, and mindset training that elite athletes and military operators use to control their stress response and perform when it matters most.You'll discover how cold exposure triggers a 500% dopamine boost, why five breaths can shift you from panic to calm, and the science-backed protocols you can start today with nothing more than a cold shower and your breath. This is about building resilience from the inside out—training your nervous system to become your competitive advantage rather than your limitation.
Leslie Howard and Richard Rosen, co-authors of SAVASANA - Between Breath and Death, talk with J about the importance of practicing final relaxation. They discuss the shortening of savasana over the years, death doulas and cafe's, the dissolution of self, the moment of death, guided meditation, asana and pranayama, reincarnation, falling asleep, alignment, using props and minimizing distraction, breath focus, rolling to the side, being the witness, fitness orientation, embracing things as they are, and recognizing the precious nature of life.

Today's session is a little different than a typical meditation or breathwork practice.This isn't about zoning out. It's not about getting sleepy. And it's not about escaping stress.Today, we're training your nervous system.Just like strength, balance, or coordination, calm is a skill. And skills get better with reps.Most people live in a nervous system that's always “on.” Always alert. Always reacting. Always bracing.And the problem isn't stress itself — it's that we rarely practice downshifting while staying present.So today's session is about grounding.Grounding doesn't shut you down. It stabilizes you. It teaches your body that it's safe right here, without checking out.All you need to do is follow along. There's nothing to fix. Nothing to force.Let's get started.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/
Send us a textThis episode closes out the Attributes Series with one of the most mission-critical traits in Air Force Special Warfare: stress tolerance. Aaron breaks down what stress tolerance actually means—not being emotionless, but staying inside the performance window when stakes are high. From eustress vs distress to stress inoculation, breath control, visualization, and recovery, this is a practical blueprint for how instructors evaluate candidates under pressure.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 1-29-2026: An emailer asks about hemorrhoids affecting 2 relatives,a 60-year-old man and his 20-year-old daughter, with the daughter also experiencing constipation worsened by fiber supplements. Dr. Dawn explains hemorrhoids are essentially varicose veins of the anus, with 102 genetic regions identified affecting blood vessel and smooth muscle strength. She emphasizes that fiber supplements without adequate water create "cement in the pipe"—recommending 16-24 ounces of water with supplements and 2 liters of clear water daily. Miralax also requires sufficient hydration to work. Key strategies include exercise to stimulate gut motility, staying off the toilet if unable to produce results, using a standing desk to reduce prolonged sitting pressure, and triggering the gastrocolic reflex by eating. Dr. Dawn discusses research on the "volatilome"—volatile organic compounds in breath that reflect gut microbiome composition. Researchers using sterile mice colonized with specific bacteria could identify bacterial fingerprints through breath analysis. The technique identified disease-associated compounds for tuberculosis and malaria, and correlated specific gut bacteria with asthma severity in children. The research suggests breath testing could eventually replace stool samples for microbiome assessment and disease screening. She explains detoxification biochemistry, distinguishing between water-soluble toxins easily filtered by kidneys and fat-soluble toxins requiring liver transformation. Phase one converts fat-soluble molecules into reactive intermediates—dangerous if they linger—while phase two attaches water-soluble molecules like glutathione to neutralize them for excretion. Supporting phase two requires green tea, cruciferous vegetables, garlic, and curcumin. She cautions against extended fasting for detox, especially over age 50, as it depletes the body's detoxification resources and muscle mass. A caller asks about alkaline versus acidic water. Dr. Dawn explains you cannot alkalinize blood since kidneys maintain pH, but alkaline urine is beneficial. Rather than expensive alkaline waters, adding a pinch of baking soda achieves the same effect. Eating a 3:1 ratio of fruits, vegetables, and grains to animal products naturally alkalinizes urine. She notes lemons paradoxically alkalinize because kidneys overcompensate for the acid load. A caller asks about managing heart disease after receiving a third stent. Dr. Dawn recommends the Mediterranean diet over DASH for cardiac patients, as Mediterranean emphasizes fish, whole grains, and fiber that binds cholesterol for excretion, while DASH focuses on calcium for hypertension. She encourages exploring exercise options through meetup.com groups and the hospital's lifestyle center, emphasizing that consistent effort can reduce biological age by 3-5 years regardless of chronological age.
Allow this passage from The Message to engage your whole self, so Scripture becomes an encounter rather than a concept. You'll hear “This is my body” and “This is my blood” as a present-tense invitation to participate, remember, and partake. The practice moves from attentive listening to personal response, offering time for a simple conversation with Jesus.For more on the theme Partake in the Blessings, see page 96 of With God in Every Breath by Whitney R.

We pile so much on ourselves throughout our life and run so many filters at every moment of the day that it is very easy to lose sight of the truth, our true selves. This meditation is a variation on the Flow Writing ecersize, where you sit down to write, uninterrupted for a set time. The pen doesn't stop moving, no matter what. The variation is that we will do this as a pure though exersize. Using the prompt "what are you pretending not to know?" and just see where your mind takes you. One breath at a time.

Welcome to Day 3 of this morning meditation series on how to start your day in a way that can change your whole life. Today's featured technique is the Energy Breath—a simple, invigorating breathing practice designed to wake up your body, clear mental fog, and help you step into your day with momentum and focus. You'll pair this breath with a steady intention so you're not just "getting through" the morning—you're consciously setting the tone for how you think, feel, and respond all day long. If you've been waking up sluggish, unmotivated, or already behind, this practice will help you feel more alive, centered, and ready to meet the day. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to a special meditation series all about how you start your day—because the first few minutes after you wake up can quietly shape your mood, your focus, your choices, and ultimately the direction of your life. I created this series a few years ago, and I'm sharing it with you now as you finish out the first month of this year—because if you've been wanting a real shift, this is one of the most powerful places to begin. Starting your day the right way isn't about being perfect or adding more to your to-do list; it's about creating a simple inner rhythm that helps you feel grounded, clear, and intentional before the world starts pulling at you. Over the next several days, you'll be guided through short, supportive practices designed to help you wake up your body, calm your mind, and set the emotional tone that can change everything. This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, "Morning Meditation Series: Start Your Day Right and Change Your Life," episodes 2987-2993. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "An Hour Extra to Your Day" Wake up an hour earlier and start your morning routine.

The Beauty of Authenticity — John Van DeusenSongwriter John Van Deusen joins Makers & Mystics to explore the beauty of authenticity in art, faith, and vocation. In a creative landscape that often rewards certainty and success, John reflects on the cost—and freedom—of making honesty the point.At the center of the conversation is his latest album, As Long As I Am In The Tent of This Body I Will Make A Joyful Noise, a shape-shifting, faith-inflected collection that resists tidy resolutions and embraces vulnerability, doubt, joy, and embodied life.Together, host Stephen Roach and John Van Deusen talk about creative calling, audience expectation, near-successes, family life, and why authenticity remains a risky—but faithful—posture for artists.Send us a textSupport the show Get Tickets to The Breath and The Clay 2026 featuring Malcolm Guite, Jon Guerra, and Jonathan Pageau!

We are back for 2026! After a year-long challenge of purchasing zero new video games in 2025, Trevor and Jeff break down the aftermath. Did we survive the FOMO? What is the first game we bought in 2026? In this episode, we dive into the "Dad Dust" of getting back behind the mic, the joy of finally playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and Hades 2, and the promising horizon of 2026 releases like Fable and potential Witcher 3 DLC. We also discuss the state of gaming in our households: from successfully banning Roblox, to our kids discovering Skyrim with heavy mods, to the hilarious realization our children had while playing WWE 2K24—that you used to be able to unlock characters just by playing the game. Finally, Jeff shares his newfound obsession with Valheim on the Steam Deck and why its "beautiful ugly" aesthetic is perfect for gaming dads.

Taboo to Truth: Unapologetic Conversations About Sexuality in Midlife
In this episode, I sit down with Jim Benson to break down what multi orgasmic pleasure really means for men and why most men never learn it. Jim explains the difference between ejaculation and orgasm, why pleasure does not need to end with climax, and how presence, relaxation, breath, and body awareness change everything. They explore how men learn these skills over time, why partners play a powerful role in success, and how aging does not signal the end of sexual growth. This episode reframes male pleasure as something expansive, learnable, and deeply connected to emotional safety and presence.In This Episode:00:00 Why men believe orgasm equals ejaculation02:10 What multi orgasmic pleasure really means04:05 Why relaxation creates more sensation06:20 Breath and body awareness explained08:30 Orgasms without erection or ejaculation10:40 How partners support the learning process13:00 Practicing alone versus with a partner15:10 How long it takes to feel real change17:25 Aging, presence, and deeper pleasure19:40 Why sexual growth does not end with age21:10 Final thoughts and resourcesWant a deeper look?

Nothing is adding up — and we're officially spiraling. In chapters 15–21 of House of Sky and Breath, secrets pile up, history starts unraveling, and the “truth” looks a lot more manufactured than we were led to believe. From Danika's hidden research to Dusk's Truth, salt conspiracies, fake histories, secret rebellions, and engagements that make absolutely no sense — this section sent us straight into theory mode. We break down what feels off, what might be intentional, and why Crescent City is quietly becoming one of SJM's most unhinged worlds yet. Spoilers for HOSAB chapters 1–21, House of Earth and Blood, and all of the ACOTAR and TOG series.

They say the hardest part is showing up. It may not seem like it because many times what we have to show up for is hard or unpleasant or stressful but the discipline required to show up for difficult things is huge. It does require epic discipline to show up to do the things that hard hard. Once you decide to do it, the rest is worth it. But discipline takes mindfulness. It requires us to be able to take a step back and understand that this may be hard but I will feel so much better after I've accomplished it. This meditation hopes to help the meditator achieve that new level of discipline. One breath at a time.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.
Today, we go deep on swimming but keep it relatively simple so you can work on things that matter and lock them in. We talk about some of the most important fundamentals regarding swimming: breathing, body position, and body control. There will be big wins in your swimming if you can master the basic principles of swimming. We also get into how you should be breaking up your week regarding form, intensity, and endurance. We'll look at getting a bigger return for your energy investment, why the hips are critical, why you're probably too tense in the water, and the soon to be famous Light Switch Test. Topics: Does op 20 swimming list hold up? Swimming and focus on the details Obsession over aero and watts but not swimming 90 Day Challenge Picking up swimming later in life Correct form + muscular endurance End of Ironman running form Uncomfortable doing hard swims? Efficient form for return of energy investment Day One - Pick one day for technique (AR) Day two - Focus on top speed and turnover Day Three - Longer swim for muscular endurance How to breathe Why to breathe every stroke Breath 2-4 Bilateral breathing?? Build a strong side Body position Head is number one Forehead down Body Control Head raises - body sinks A body drill with paddles Outside cues to get a better feel for the water Video from the front cue Splayed out? Hips way too open Hip control Steering wheels in swimming The Light Switch Test Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

So moving forward I'll likely be doing these energy updates spontaneously as they come through, vs on the 1st of every month.Some of the messages and themes that came through in today's episode include:Fog PreppingVolatilityCentennial movesEnergy bursting through New Growth The importance of softening and gently opening the breath I hope these messages are supportive for you as we move through these current waves of energy!

Episode snapshotDebbie Lamond (near London, UK) is a yoga teacher and yoga therapist specializing in support for people living with lymphoedema. After decades of personal practice and training with the British Wheel of Yoga, she blends breathwork, Yoga Nidra, gentle movement, self-care for the lymphatic system, and realistic habit tracking. This conversation feels like tea with a wise friend—practical, hopeful, and grounded in ahiṃsā, svādhyāya, and the steady courage of śraddhā.What we coverDebbie's path: yoga since 1994, why it offered something team sports and fitness didn't—time, calm, and coming home to self.Lymphoedema support, plain language: why movement, hydration, skin care, and compression are foundations—and how yoga fits in.Breath changes the body: how diaphragmatic breathing helps down-shift sympathetic overdrive and, anecdotally, can ease night-time swelling enough to return to sleep.Yoga tools that help: slow rhythmic movement, Yoga Nidra for nervous-system recovery, present-moment awareness to interrupt “what-if” spirals.Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD): “open the drains,” then move—pair with water intake and gentle activity.Ayurvedic lifestyle touches: cooling choices when heat aggravates symptoms, morning light, toxin reduction, and a simple habit tracker.Agency and dignity: building a daily routine you'll actually keep—this isn't a quick-fix pill.Practical takeaways (save/print)Three-minute reset: recline, elevate legs, one hand on belly; inhale gently through the nose, exhale a little longer; ~15–20 breaths. Notice if sensation and anxiety both dial down.Daily rhythm idea:Brief self-MLD (as taught by a qualified therapist).10–20 minutes of gentle yoga or a short walk.Hydrate and quick skin-check.Yoga Nidra or guided rest later in the day if swelling or fatigue rises.Get support: work with a qualified lymphoedema therapist for compression, self-care education, and monitoring.How yoga philosophy frames this workAhiṃsā (non-harm): move/rest in ways that protect tissue and reduce irritation.Svādhyāya (self-study): track patterns—sleep, flares, foods, stressors—without judgment.Īśvara-praṇidhāna (surrender): accept today's reality while practicing skillful effort. Together, these form a sustainable sādhana for long-term conditions.Resources mentionedBritish Wheel of Yoga (for teacher standards and CPD)Lymphoedema Support Network (UK)Manual Lymph Drainage (find a qualified therapist)Yoga Nidra recordings for regulation and restWho this episode is forPeople living with primary or secondary lymphoedema; those post-treatment or post-surgery; clinicians curious about integrating breath and gentle movement; yoga therapists seeking condition-specific insights.About our guestDebbie Lamond is a UK-based yoga teacher and yoga therapist focusing on lymphoedema support.

Practice the Ground arc—releasing anxiety by returning to your body and the present moment. This episode teaches a simple, science-supported breathing practice called Anchor Breath (inhale 4, exhale 6–8) designed to calm stress arousal by extending the exhale and signaling safety to the nervous system. You'll hear a relatable story about morning anxiety and learn how to use grounding in everyday transitions—before your phone, before difficult conversations, and whenever your thoughts start to spiral. If you've been feeling scattered, tense, or mentally "up in the air," this episode will help you land in steadiness again—one breath at a time. Technique used: Anchor Breath (4 in / 6–8 out) x 8 rounds Best time to practice: mornings, evenings, before transitions, before stressful interactions Intention: release anxious urgency and reconnect to calm presence This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, "Anxiety Alchemy Week," episodes 3451-3457. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to The Anxiety Alchemy Week—a 7-day meditation series designed to help you release anxiety and transform that restless, buzzing energy into calm clarity and steady confidence. Each day, you'll be guided through a simple, body-based practice—breathwork, visualization, and gentle mindfulness—so you can soothe your nervous system, quiet spiraling thoughts, and feel more grounded in real life (not just during meditation). Think of this week as a soft return to yourself: less bracing, less overthinking, and more ease in your body, your choices, and your day. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Anxiety Reset Que Challenge" Choose one daily "reset cue"—each time you touch a door handle, open your phone, or sit down, take one long exhale (or one round of your day's breath). Track it with 7 checkmarks (one per day) and notice the moment your body starts to relax faster—proof your nervous system is learning. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: Anxiety Reset Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "I trust myself to meet this moment." Day 3: Anchor Breathing: inhale 4, exhale 6–8, repeat 8 rounds. (If 6–8 feels too long, do 4 in / 5 out.)

Iyer (1930 -1995) was an internationally known philosopher, political theorist, and spiritual practitioner who devoted his life to the intellectual and spiritual uplift of human society. The only Rhodes Scholar from India in 1950 to Oxford, he secured First Class Honors in Philosophy, Politics and Economics and later earned a D. Phil. Degree in moral and political philosophy. He was professor of political philosophy at the University of California, Santa Barbara for 21 years.His message is that a renewed humankind is now emerging, and his writings address the causes of the global situation, the nature of this evolution, and the manner in which individuals can participate fully in this collective transformation.Dr Iyer was a practitioner and member of the Theosophical Foundation and wrote that:"Initiation into Theosophical metaphysics is more than an intellectual or moral enterprise; it is a continuous spiritual exercise in the development of intuitive and cognitive capacities that are the highest available to humans, a process that includes from the first a blending of the head and the heart through the interaction of viveka and vairagya, discrimination and detachment.
Born in Tustin, California, James Nestor spent his teens surfing and playing in a straight-edge punk band called Care Unit. After graduating high school, he moved to the Bay Area, where he studied art and literature and earned an MFA. Nestor's professional life began as a copywriter. Soon he moved into magazine journalism. His essays and features have appeared in Outside, Scientific American, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Dwell, The Surfer's Journal, and many others. His 2014 book, DEEP: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What the Ocean Tells Us About Ourselves, follows clans of extreme athletes, adventurers, and scientists as they plumb the ocean's depths and uncover surprising new discoveries. But his big book is, of course, 2020's Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, which explores the million-year-long history of how we humans have lost the ability to breathe properly, and why we're suffering from various maladies because of it. Along with drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Nestor also found answers in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of Sao Paulo. In sum, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. Nestor has been a guest speaker at Stanford Medical School, Harvard Medical School, Yale School of Medicine, and the United Nations. He currently lives in Portugal. In this episode of Soundings, Nestor talks with Jamie Brisick about the fundamentals of breathwork, Ocean Beach, growing up in Orange County, his early days as a reporter, the values of freediving, and writing books. Produced by Jonathan Shifflett. Music by PazKa (Aska Matsumiya & Paz Lenchantin).
