Podcasts about Breathing

We hold on to so many things in our life. Childhood trauma, embarassments, failures, disappointments all take up so much space that we leave little room for the successes, gratitude, hope, possibility. This meditation hopes to help the meditator remember that life is a process of letting go. One breath at a time.

Tim Thomas 2: I know there's a shark story somewhere. How does the shark come into play with, is that, just something you survived or is that. Oh, look, that was a fun NBE near death experience where, um, okay. Yeah. Very relevant. It was the classic one where you have your life flashing before your eyes. Right. Um, and the important part about isn't so much the shark attack in the, in the context of a, a, let's say Christian faith afterwards, because I, I love the ocean, I love spearfishing. And there's always sharks where there's fish when we're chasing fish. There's, it's always a good sign when there's sharks around because that tells you you're in the right area. And it's a fun story. Like this thing had my leg, and I don't believe it when people say, oh, I punched it and then it went away. I'm stabbing this thing in the eye and it's not letting go. And I'm about to drown, right? As a fighter, I've taken a lot of hits, but never, ever, ever has my body [00:01:00] felt like a ragdoll being shaken by a dog. Mm-hmm. Um, so I literally felt that my body going, oh yeah, yeah. Like just so rapidly shook. I'm like, whoa. Welcome to the Wounds of the Faithful Podcast, brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic violence advocate, Diana. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help. Now here is Diana. Tim Thomas 2: Hey folks, thanks for coming back to the podcast. We're back listening to part two of my conversation with Tim Thomas. So far it's been really exciting, hasn't it? He is definitely a [00:02:00] storyteller. We got more of that for you today. So I'm not going to review, his bio. You can read that in the show notes. And of course, as always, I tell you to go back and listen to part one if you have not done so already. But, so hold onto your seats and here's part two of my conversation with Tim Thomas. Enjoy. I had my mate Jimmy. Now Jimmy was a fellow commando, and where we train is a place called the Kill House, where we get very used to shooting close to each other. And he was coming down and he had this look in his eye saying, I got this and I got you. And it was so strange, even though I'm about to drown, like it wasn't a big shark, it was maybe two meters. But you, like I said, the power it had was surprising. And, and I'm getting tangled up in my float line and Jimmy's coming down and I look in his eyes. And like I said, as much as I was about to die, the [00:03:00] trust that went through my system had me completely relax and be at peace. And it was at that moment I realized, you know, when times get tough, as humans, we think, oh, I need more stuff to feel secure. We don't need more stuff, we need more trust. Mm-hmm. And it's in that trust that we can find our rest. My mother always says, we don't find, rest until we rest in the Lord. You know, it's pretty hard to find trust in another human being, but you can find it, you know, in the above. And on this occasion, I got a taste of that through another human. So I was able to turn my body, give him a shot, and his spear from his spear gun went straight through the shark that was hanging onto my leg. And look, long story short. I survived and, lived to tell the story. But afterwards, and the point I need to sort of make here is, afterwards someone said, when you saw your life flashing before your eyes, do you think that was a [00:04:00] spiritual experience? And I'm like, no. And here's why. Really? Yeah. No, it wasn't. It was cool. It was new. I'd never seen it before, but it was just my life through my eyes. Okay. I didn't get any other perspective. It was just my life seen through my own eyes. If that was a spiritual experience, I would be seeing, the sequence of events of my life and how that one action impacted others. I've got the faith to know that, when this body of mine goes back into the earth. God will say, here's your life as you saw it. Now here's your life as I saw it. But faith to me is not so much whether God exists 'cause he simply does or doesn't. Faith to me is knowing that my everyday life is creating powerful and positive impacts outside of my awareness. Well, I'm glad that you had a friend that was there for you to spearhead that, that shark. Now, for me, [00:05:00] that would've been a, you know, see a Jesus moment. If, if I hadn't already been a Christian, I would've definitely gotten on board with that shark hanging onto my leg and shaking me like a ragdoll, as you eloquently, uh, displayed. So I'm like, well, I'm about to drown anyway. I'm as well, you know, forego a finger. So I put my finger inside the corner of this shark's mouth, and I'm feeling around inside its mouth of the on switch. I flick it on and then boom, that's when it, lets go. And before that I'd stabbed this thing in the eye. Jimmy had speared this thing, let's go when I turn this shark shoot on, and then I swim to the surface and take the sweetest breath of air I've ever had. Right? Oh, that was probably a million dollar breath right there. I wanted to give you, enough time to talk about your breath work that, you're so passionate about. How does it work and how can it help, those of us that have gone through some really severe trauma, [00:06:00] like you've talked about shark attacks, PTSD, war, illness, losing your loved ones. How does that work behind the scenes? Sure. So think about all the events that create stress like an accelerator on your car. Okay, people hit the gas, all right? And often, you burn out or you crash into something. Doing that breath allows you to activate what's called your parasympathetic nervous system or your break. And that's quite a strange concept for people who are so used to, accelerating to hit the brake and to slow down. Um, allows your system. Once the revs drop down to a certain point, that's when the healing can take place. So when I was getting guys outta fatigue and I improved their sleep quality, everything in their life improved. So think of everything you've got in your life, everything like work, [00:07:00] play, relationships, the quality of all those things is relative to the quality of your sleep. If your sleep is disturbed, that disturbs everything in the special forces. We used to actively target our enemy's sleep. 'cause we knew if we took it out for three nights, it would mess 'em up better than a bullet. So I just noticed that improving sleep allowed the body to heal. And the best way I know how to do it, pharmaceutical free is the deep activation of the parasympathetic nervous system and done right, it goes beyond words. It goes beyond thought. Because depending on your view of human evolution, before we were thinking, before we putting paintings on rock walls, we were breathing before he was speaking, we were breathing. And one thing the psychologists haven't figured out yet is when people go through trauma, the trauma goes down deeper than the words can reach. And so breath is one of those things that can get into the [00:08:00] deepest parts of us. Slow down and give us peace. And it's funny that for me, poor sleep is the perfect environment for any negative stuff in your head to grow more of. So I tend to lean into the idea that poor quality sleep is the thing that creates a lot of mental problems. And they both feed each other. The more problems you've got in your head, the worse sleep you get. The worse sleep you get, the more problems in your head grow. So to arrest the physical side of things, breath work is a great way, and I'm not just gonna talk about this. I'm gonna show you an activity, to actually have that experience. And I've got a whole company based around that. Breath is something that we do consciously as well as unconsciously. I need to say this because. Think of your mind like a garden, whatever your water grows, okay? And those, uh, for years I was watering the weeds of stress. Let's say you want [00:09:00] to, do some exercise. There's a part of you going, not right now. I don't wanna do this. There's that part of you trying to talk you out of exercise. That's the disempowered parts of your head, knowing that if you exercise and you become powerful, they're gone. They're no longer in there. So they scream the loudest when they're about to die. So if you amplify that by about a thousand and someone's got some trauma in their head that they've been feeding for years, that's what you're up against. When, you often do anything new that's positive. 'cause this stuff in your head goes, no, I don't wanna be kicked out. So the thing I need to tell people is that even though I was a breath work coach. And I knew breath work would make me feel better when I'd gotten divorced. I'd lost my house, my home, my money, regular access to kids, and I'm sleeping in the lounge room of my parents' place at 3:00 AM These stress weeds, were loving it. They're like, this is awesome. We're getting all the resources. And I knew that breathing would bring me peace, but it's like I could [00:10:00] not do it. I was all locked up with the stress weeds running the show. And I got to the point early in the morning that I was either gonna do self-harm, alcohol, pills, whatever it was. and yet I, part of me knew that breathing would help. So what I did in that completely desperate state, was I looked at my left thumb and I said, Tim, you can take one breath. Just take one breath. And I drove into my chest and went, oh my gosh. And it was like taking that first breath after coming up from the shark attack. And then I'm like, okay, that works. And I stuck two fingers into my chest, take two breaths, Tim, take two breaths. And I took two breaths. Okay, 3, 3, 3, get to three and then five, get to five, get to 10. You know, and I'm just driving these fingers in one at a time, one at a time. And then somewhere between breath 15 and breath 25, these stress weeds got kicked out. And the rest of my brain was, thank goodness you kicked those guys out. Keep doing this. This is working. But up until the point they got kicked out, there was so much resistance because these guys were running the [00:11:00] show. So yes, breath work works, but just understand that when you need it most, there will be opposition. And right now I'm just blah blah blahing, right? But when this actually happens, you'll be like, oh, this is what the guy was talking about. And that's why, with the Breathwork in Bed app, it's guided. So you can go, well look, I don't believe this will work, but I'm just gonna do that, and then this, and then all of a sudden, oh my gosh, this actually works. You know what I mean? It does work. We were talking before the show that, I have a good psychiatrist that I've been seeing and, I had some triggers to my trauma and was there to see her and, she introduced me to breath work. And you probably know the beginner exercise. You're breathing in for four and you're holding it for four and Yep. Get all box breathing four, and then you, you start all over again. And I was kind of skeptical. I'm like, just gimme some Xanax, and be done with it. And she said, no, this is faster. And, we started doing that in the appointment and she [00:12:00] had me hooked up to the her little monitor system and she showed me how my nervous system calmed down in just a few minutes of me doing those. Those breath sessions. And so she gave me, homework to do. And, yeah, the demons come out at three o'clock in the morning, brother. And that's when I have to remember, okay, you gotta remember your breath work here. And then I can go back to sleep. So I'm already, excited about what you're doing. Well, you've experienced yourself, it's pretty lonely at 3:00 AM. Yeah. And so, you know, not many people like yourself have that discipline to go into their breath, but to have a button you can press, I wanted to be there for those people at 2:00 AM when I needed it. I think God put me in that situation so I could have empathy and then create a tool for people in those places. Um, 'cause I can't do what you do, Diana, and I can't do what all the listeners do, but if I can improve the quality of your sleep, then you're gonna do what you do even better. And I think if you are a [00:13:00] responsible person, it's one thing to generate yourself and create an abundance in yourself. But if you believe that, you know, at some point God's gonna ask you, what did you do for those others around you? and what nobody knew back when I was doing all these incredible things in the veteran space, 40 saving 40 veteran lives from suicide is every six or seven weeks. I really find that the daily practice of connecting to yourself, your God, first, creating that abundance and out of your overflow, you can be generous with others. Yes. You have to, put on your oxygen mask first before you help others next to you. That whole airplane scenario we always hear about. But it's true. You can't fill somebody else's cup of your cup isn't full. You know, you're running on empty. That's not gonna help anybody. And the thing that really gave me quite a, an uppercut Diana, was the [00:14:00] realization that my trauma, my unhealed wounds, I don't have the privilege of taking them to the grave with me. They don't stop when I die. I pay them forward to my kids. I pay them forward to everyone who meets me. For me it was anger. Now, I've never met my great, great grandfather, but I'm pretty sure he was an angry dude. I had to say, look, anger ran in my family until it ran into me. You know, I had to be the one to create healing for the generations before and the generations afterwards. So having that external focus where if I don't deal with it myself, my kids are gonna have to deal with it. Everyone else has to deal with it. It gets paid forward. Great. And I thank you for saying that because you know, it ends here with me. The generational trauma, it ends now. And so many people miss that. You can't sit here and wallow in your trauma, in your, past abuse because your kids and the people around you are gonna suffer too if you don't deal with it. Oh, I like that. Instead of deal with it, heal with it! So I'm really excited to, get an [00:15:00] example Yes. Of this breath work. I'm, let's get a lived experience, almost like, almost like taste, touch, feel. So the only caveat I have to this, Diana, is people listening to this, I'd love you to participate as fully as possible, but you do need to be seated, supported, or lying down. You can't be driving, you can't be cutting up carrots. Because this is gonna be you connecting fully to your breath, and breathing is easy, but You've been breathing a certain way your whole life, right? And so to do it differently takes a a bit of focus and concentration. So I'm gonna do everything within my power to, have you take these full breaths, and all allow yourself to experience the fullness of it, okay? All allow yourself to go somewhere you haven't possibly gone before. Allow yourself to have a bit of courage right now,​because Most people, they shallow breathe. If you saw someone in public and they're going, sh, sh, sh, sh, you know, they're about to [00:16:00] freak out, right? And without knowing it, most of us are shallow breathing is, or albeit slower, but we're still sending a signal to our brains that we're in fight or flight. We can't rest and digest. So, to breathe fully is to live fully, to feel fully. All right, so this is really simple. I show this to high school students, to corporates, and, and like I said, I'm gonna do everything I can for people to get this, but they do need to be seated, not driving, not cutting up carrots, listening to my voice. So to start with Diana, it's gonna be really easy. Just breathe in and breathe out. All right. That was easy, right? So now we're gonna build on that. We're gonna breathe in, and then we're gonna breathe in again and again, and again and again. All right, let's give that a try. Breathe in again and again, and again and again, and just let that go. Now, did you notice, Diana, a little bit of extra space opening up in your, in your upper chest? [00:17:00] Absolutely. Okay. I didn't think that was there. So what, and it's amazing. We all own bodies, but we don't know what it can do for us. Like our bodies are amazing. I'm gonna show you another amazing fact about your body that you never knew. So in your thumb and two fingers, you've got a turbo button, okay? Thumb and two fingers. And we're gonna pinch our fingers together as hard as possible in just a minute. All right, so that inhale you did where you breathed in, and then you breathed in again and again and again. We'll call that your secondary inhale. All right? We're gonna call that your secondary inhale. So what's gonna happen in a second is you're gonna breathe in through your primary inhale. When it gets to your secondary inhale, I want you to pinch your thumb into your two fingers as hard as you can, and notice how that boosts your secondary inhale. So everybody listening, just blow all [00:18:00] your air out, out, out, out, out, out. Now breathe in. And then when you're ready, hit the turbo buttons really hard and suck it into that upper chest. And then just let that out. Now, Diana, did you notice when you hit those buttons, you can breathe a little bit more in? Yes. That's, that's crazy. Who knew, right? Our bodies are amazing. We are wonderfully made. Do that a couple of times. so can you feel the connection between your fingers and your upper third? Who knew? Right now, we're gonna juice that up even more. All right. So think of your, your chin and your power buttons, and there's a triangle there, right? And we are gonna, we are gonna open that triangle. We're gonna hit our power buttons as we raise our [00:19:00] chin to the sur, to the roof. So our, our chin is gonna go up, our chest is gonna go up. It's like we are leaning back. So I'll give you a little demonstration. We're gonna breathe out, then breathe in. And when it comes to the secondary inhale, we're gonna raise our chin, push our power buttons, and hold it there. And then just feel what it is to get it all up in that space. Are you ready? Yep. So breathing, breathing out, breathe it out, out, out, out, out. Breathing in, hit your power buttons, raise your chin, raise your chest. Look at the ceiling. Look at the ceiling. Raise your chin higher. Up, up, up. Open, open, open. And then just let it out. Almost like an upward dog. Pretty much. It was like a, seated upward dog. Yep. That was great. And, and we're about halfway through. So the thing about [00:20:00] this secondary inhale. I call this the breath of possibility. Okay? When I've got crap in my head, I don't want there, I notice my structure hunches over, okay? And things become impossible because I'm all hunched over, I'm pinching off my own air supply. So what this does, when we breathe forcefully into this upper third, I make the impossible possible. So this is your breath of possibility. So what I want you to do is try and double the speed of inhalation, but just do it through your nose. Really try and snort it. Flare your nostrils, snort it through your nose. One thing my fighting coach taught me was that doing a nice snort through your nose, it goes through your sinuses straight into your brain. So the quickest way to oxygenate your brain is snorting through the sinuses. I dunno the science behind it, but it seemed to work in a fight. All right, so, so what we're gonna do is like double the speed of our inhale by really, raising that chin fast, pinching those [00:21:00] ones and, and, and opening up this space with a, with a bit of aggression. Are you ready? Ready, everyone. Let's exhale. Exhale, exhale, exhale. Breathe in. Hit your turbo buttons and snort, snort snotor. Look at the roof. Look at the roof. Open the chest. Open the chest. Open your chest like a flower. Now hold it there. Wriggle your shoulders. Open up that space by wriggle your shoulders. Wriggle your shoulders. Opening up. Feels really good to open it up and let it out with a loud sigh. Ah, great. All right. How you feeling? I'm feeling good. Okay, so we're halfway through. Breath of possibility is up here. Breath of peace is down low in your belly. So what we're going to do right now. We're gonna do that big inhale. Okay. Filling that breath of possibility, that [00:22:00] top third, we're gonna hold our breath. We're gonna let that air go from our upper chest, middle chest, lower, and we're gonna push it down low. Our hands are gonna be on our stomach, and we're gonna push it down as low as it can go. We're gonna squeeze it down there and we're gonna let it out With a hissing noise. A, it's like the air wants to come out, but your mouth is stopping it a bit like you've got that pressure cooker on the stove and there's that, that, that steam coming out. That's what it's gonna be like and I'll coach you through it, but the longer you can make that sound for the better it's gonna be. Now this is something new. So we're gonna do this three times. And the third time you do this, you'll probably be able to relax and move a whole lot more freely. There's no wrong way to do this, but just this is doing something new, and I wanna acknowledge you. You're doing really well. Normally, when I'm running a workshop, it takes about an hour to get people to this stage. So, you're doing really well. So listening to my voice, we're gonna blow all our [00:23:00] air out, out, out, out, out, out. Breathing in power buttons, raise your chin, raise your chest, open your chest like a flower in, in, in, in, in. Then hold it. And wriggle. Wriggle your shoulders. Wriggle your shoulders. Now let your head relax forward. Let your head relax forward. Let your shoulders relax forward. Put your hands on your belly. And squeeze your belly. Let your head sort of hang forward like it's down towards your knees. And then let out a as long as possible. And as you let it out, let all the tension fall outta your body. Tension out of your shoulders, out of your arms, out of your face. Feel like you're a deflating toy. Air's just falling out of you. And so is the tension. Let it all just fall out with your breath [00:24:00] out now. Very good. And this last one is gonna be the best one ever with your turbo buttons ready? Blow it all the way out. Breathing in. Open up that chest, raise that chin. Feel that flower in your chest opening up. Let the sunshine in. Let the sunshine in. Hold it, wriggle it around. R it around. And holding your breath, just collapse your head forward. Collapse your head forward. Let your head just hang loose. Hands on your belly. Hands on your belly. Feel that balloon of air down below. Squeeze it and let it out with a for as long as possible. And as that air leaves your body, let all the tension just deflate out of your body. Your whole body is deflating and resting and coming to peace. All the tensions from your neck, your shoulders, [00:25:00] your spine, your face, it's all just leaving with your exhale. And all I'm gonna invite you to do is just keep your eyes closed for a second, and sit back in your chair. Sit back in your chair, and let that chair support your weight. Feel how your muscles are feeling supported by that chair. Feel how your relaxation is allowing you to feel held and supported. That chair was built to support you. It will support you. So often in our tension, we don't allow ourselves to feel supported and held. It's like our own tension is, is a backwards way of having us feel held and supported. But it doesn't work like that. It's only when we give up our tension and give up our stress that we can feel supported, feel held, [00:26:00] and I invite you just to breathe deeply into that sensation of feeling supported, feeling held. If there's any muscles in your body that need extra relaxation, I invite you to put your breath directly into them like you are breathing into those shoulders or neck or face. Notice how you can use your breath to target muscle groups and target different parts of your body. It's moments like this. We realize that everything we need, everything we have been looking for is right here underneath our own skin. I. Access through our breath. What a divine gift. Shake your body out and well done. You've just accessed [00:27:00] your breath. A deep connection with your body. And how do you feel? Yeah, I feel like going for a run. Uh, that's the first time I've ever done that on a podcast, so this was great. That was more than I was, uh, expecting you to give us tonight. That was excellent. So tell us how the folks can get in touch with you. I know you have your app. Mm-hmm. Yep. So anyone with a phone can, can put in three words to their app store, breath work in bed. I'm not a tech person, so I made it tech easy. It'll ask you when you wanna sleep, when you wanna wake up, and then notifications will fall out at that time. You just hit the button and away you go. You'll be guided to sleep with peace out of bed with power. There's a bunch of bonus features on there that I'll let you discover for yourself. If you wanna reach out for me personally, you can go through the website, [00:28:00] breathworkinbed.com au. Um, and you know, I, I just want my desire is that people see how wondrously they're made and not just see it, but taste, touch, feel it. So if you did that activity, you'd be feeling what it is to go, wow, this is awesome. I thought I'd have to take a pill or some external substance right? To access that kind of power. The resources is there and there's an accumulation effect. The better you sleep, the better you get outta bed. the better old day you have then, there's a lot in there. And, the app is specifically made to give people, you know, the good stuff when they need it. Yes, I've got socials, and you can subscribe obviously, but there's enough social media in the world, in my opinion, what people need more than anything else is quality sleep. Um, because if you go off the idea that sleep is the soil from which everything grows. I believe everyone's [00:29:00] got seeds of greatness, seeds of uniqueness inside of them, and they're just laying dormant for the right conditions. So when you improve your sleep, that's good. But what makes me excited is the flourishing of people's uniqueness, greatness, the gifts that they have that are just sitting dormant, that'll never grow while you're in fatigue. Right, exactly. Well, this will, be in the show notes. How much is the app? Is there a cost for, uh, the first 28 days is free. It, it costs less than a cup of coffee for a month, to subscribe. But yeah, you do get the first 28 d free. Yeah. Cheaper than pharmaceutical drugs too. Well, I thank you so much for what you do for saving lives and. Even though you're not in our military, thank you for your service. You're keeping people safe and doing the job that some people are not willing to do to go running into fire or bullets or danger. And so thank you so much for being on the show and sharing with us those [00:30:00] exercises at the end. That was priceless. Two things I'll do for your viewers. I'll put in a link, the first p first 20 people that click it will get a free copy of my audio book. Uh, but I'll also put a link in there for that breath of peace and possibility should they want to tap into that again at any point. Excellent. I'll put that in the, show notes as well.

How is AI going to change the way we work, and is it really going to be a total disaster as some are forecasting? Or maybe there is a way that we can all gain something from it? Before we get into panic mode, let us learn about it. In this episode we focus on the ever changing artificial intelligence input into our lives and especially in the workplace. Zac Engler, CEO at Bodhi AI, writes about machine learning, AI, and how artificial intelligence is now becoming more than a tool.  Machines are becoming partners, competitors, and mirrors, reflecting both the promise and peril of our progress. What does this mean for us? Are we all going to be unemployed? Or maybe this is the chance to re-write our life? The more we learn about this not so now technology, the better equipped we are going to be. There is no need to be super anxious and read doom and gloom articles. Let's instead see what we can gain from this revolution, just like we did when we moved from typewriters to personal computers!

(Group Learning Program) - LEARN Breathing Mindfulness Meditation (Part 3 of 4)Breathing Mindfulness Meditation was the primary form of meditation employed by The Buddha to attain Enlightenment. There are many aspects of The Path to Enlightenment that one would need to learn and practice with guidance from a Teacher, however, Breathing Mindfulness Meditation should be among the top priorities for any Practitioner aspiring to attain Enlightenment.The goal of Breathing Mindfulness Meditation is to develop “Right Mindfulness”, “Right Concentration”, and to eliminate the unwholesome root of craving/desire/attachment.All discontentedness is caused by craving/desire/attachment so it is important to train the mind to not have craving/desire/attachment as part of "Developing Your Life Practice".In this Podcast, David will guide you in learning Breathing Mindfulness Meditation, will accept questions from Students to help you develop your meditation practice, and will guide you in Breathing Mindfulness Meditation.——-Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The BuddhaDedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's Teachings to attain Enlightenment.https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com(See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)Group Learning Program - LIVE Interactive Online Classes, Book, Audiobook, Videos, Podcast and Personal Guidancehttps://mailchi.mp/f958c59262eb/buddhadailywisdomThe Words of The Buddha - Pali Canon in English Study Grouphttps://mailchi.mp/6bb4fdf2b6e0/palicanonstudyprogramFREE Book - Developing a Life Practice: The Path That Leads to Enlightenmenthttps://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/freebuddhabooksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DailyWisdom999YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyWisdom999Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/buddhadailywisdom/Support our efforts to share The Teachings of Gotama Buddha with you and worldwide for all people using this link.https://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/supportbuddha#buddhism #learnbuddhism #enlightenment #dhamma #dharma #buddha #meditation #meditationretreat #meditationcourse

This overview will explore intriguing aspects of heart science, much of which is still relatively unknown outside the fields of psychophysiology and neurocardiology. We will highlight research that bridges the science of the heart and the highly practical, research-based skill set known as the HeartMath System.

Have you ever walked into a shop and noticed right away, this place is different. The hospitality, the quality, the feel, the energy, and the comfort and confidence you and the staff feel together is a synergy born from purposeful work behind the scenes.

Not born from R+D around trends, financial management, or logistical prowess, (although you do need those) but from an embrace and pursuit of the relationships between people, their work, and the place the work is done that creates remarkable moments and experiences for all.

There are many aspects of The Path to Enlightenment that one would need to learn and practice with guidance from a Teacher, however, Breathing Mindfulness Meditation should be among the top priorities for any Practitioner aspiring to attain Enlightenment.The goal of Breathing Mindfulness Meditation is to develop “Right Mindfulness”, “Right Concentration”, and to eliminate the unwholesome root of craving/desire/attachment.All discontentedness is caused by craving/desire/attachment so it is important to train the mind to not have craving/desire/attachment as part of "Developing Your Life Practice".In this Podcast, David will guide you in learning Breathing Mindfulness Meditation, will accept questions from Students to help you develop your meditation practice, and will guide you in Breathing Mindfulness Meditation.——-Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The BuddhaDedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's Teachings to attain Enlightenment.https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com(See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)Group Learning Program - LIVE Interactive Online Classes, Book, Audiobook, Videos, Podcast and Personal Guidancehttps://mailchi.mp/f958c59262eb/buddhadailywisdomThe Words of The Buddha - Pali Canon in English Study Grouphttps://mailchi.mp/6bb4fdf2b6e0/palicanonstudyprogramFREE Book - Developing a Life Practice: The Path That Leads to Enlightenmenthttps://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/freebuddhabooksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DailyWisdom999YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyWisdom999Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/buddhadailywisdom/Support our efforts to share The Teachings of Gotama Buddha with you and worldwide for all people using this link.https://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/supportbuddha#buddhism #learnbuddhism #enlightenment #dhamma #dharma #buddha #meditation #meditationretreat #meditationcourse

Take a big inhale through your nose. Now, exhale. Breathing may seem simple, but it's controlled by a complex brain network. Each inhale gives the human brain information about the external world. And now, a new research paper in the journal Current Biology suggests that humans have unique breathing patterns, almost like nasal "fingerprints." Not only that: These unique breathing patterns seem to say a lot about people's physical and mental health.Questions about the science behind your brain and body?

In this episode, I sit down with Erwan Le Corre, founder of MovNat and creator of BreathHoldWork. You might know him as the Godfather of Natural Movement, but today we're diving even deeper into the frontier of human capability: breath, resilience, and the power of training discomfort.We talk about Erwan's journey from reclaiming primal movement to mastering the breath-hold—culminating in a national record under CMAS rules and a personal best of over eight minutes underwater. Erwan breaks down the science and spirit behind static apnea, BreathHoldWork, and the forgotten importance of “practical meditation,” which involves using breath-holds not just for oxygen efficiency, but as a vehicle for developing true inner mastery.If you're someone who's ready to push your edge—not just physically but mentally and spiritually—this conversation is going to light a fire under you.
