As we go through life, very often we can be critical of ourself for the mistakes of the past. We all have something we beat ourselves up over but it is only after we find a way to forgiveness that we can move on and find true happiness in our life. This meditation hopes to help with that process.

Empathy - A Way That Works Without The Pain In the FMQ527 I said something that probably made you blink. Empathy sucks. And I meant it. Not because caring is wrong. Not because helping people is wrong. Not because being sensitive is wrong. But because absorbing other people's pain is not helping them — and it's definitely not helping you. In this deeper dive, I show you: Why emotional dumping drains you Why empathy often becomes a hiding strategy The crucial difference between empathy and compassion How to stay grounded when people offload on you And how to become truly empathetic… with yourself Because here's the truth: If you feel everyone else's pain, you'll drown. If you stay grounded and compassionate, you can actually help. And the real work? It starts with self-empathy. What We Explore 1️⃣ Why Empathy Can Be Harmful Emotional dumping and energy drain Why taking on others' pain doesn't serve them How empathy can become a badge of honour How it can also become unconscious avoidance of your own emotions 2️⃣ The Shift: Empathy ➜ Compassion Empathy = I feel your pain. Compassion = I recognise your pain — and I can support you without absorbing it. Compassion allows you to: Stay grounded Sustain your energy Think clearly Offer real support Stay emotionally stable It's the difference between drowning with someone… or throwing them a rope. 3️⃣ Process One – Sitting With Your Emotion Instead of pushing emotions away: Sit with the feeling Acknowledge it Ask: What are you trying to do for me? What are you protecting me from? What are you trying to teach me? Every emotion has a positive intention. When you learn the lesson — the emotion doesn't need to shout anymore. 4️⃣ Process Two – Compassion Without Merging (Visualisation) I guide you through: Grounding yourself Breathing deliberately Creating a subtle protective boundary Supporting someone without absorbing their pain You remain: Present Steady Caring Strong And when you walk away? You're still yourself. 5️⃣ Process Three – Deep Self-Empathy Installation This is the powerful one. You: Place the emotion in front of you Speak to it with curiosity Thank it Discover its intention Ask what it needs Create a better strategy for that intention Future pace the change You keep the intention. You release the pain. That's self-empathy. The Core Takeaway Before you help anyone else… Check in with yourself. Am I grounded? Am I breathing? Am I compassionate? Or am I merging and hiding? One emotion. One learning. Then it can let go. That's how you help yourself. That's how you genuinely help others. And that's how empathy finally works. Key Quotes From This Episode "Empathy absorbs. Compassion supports." "Every emotion has a positive intention." "Learn the lesson — and the emotion doesn't need to stay." "Help yourself first. Then you're truly available to others." If This Resonated… Subscribe so you don't miss the next FMQ seed and deeper dive.

Hi friend, There's a conversation that's been quietly happening in Christian spaces for a while now. Some believers hear words like meditation, breathwork, or nervous system regulation and immediately think: “That sounds New Age.” But when you actually open the Bible and look closely… you find something interesting. Scripture talks about meditation constantly. Psalm 1 tells us to meditate on God's Word day and night. Joshua 1 says the same thing. Psalm 46 says, “Be still and know that I am God.” And when God created Adam, He breathed life into him. Breath. Stillness. Meditation. Renewing the mind. These aren't modern wellness ideas. They're biblical concepts. What we're seeing through neuroscience today is that practices like slowing our breath, calming the body, and focusing our minds on truth actually help rewire the brain and regulate the nervous system. In other words… the way God designed our bodies already supports the transformation He calls us into. In this week's episode of the Set Free Sisterhood Podcast, I'm unpacking: What the Bible actually says about meditation Why breath is so significant in Scripture How the nervous system impacts healing and emotional regulation And why learning to calm your body is not unspiritual If you've ever felt unsure about these topics, this episode will help bring clarity. And if you're realizing that your mind and body have been stuck in patterns of stress, anxiety, or coping behaviors like alcohol… you don't have to navigate that alone. This is exactly the kind of work I help women walk through in one-on-one coaching. Together we look at: the patterns that keep you stuck the emotional and nervous system responses underneath them and how to renew your mind and realign your life with truth If you're ready for support, you can email me here:  Let's chat!

Hello to you listening in Aukland, New Zealand! 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. I've been walking in the rain to settle my restless, anxious spirit. I live in Washington. It rains. If don't walk in the rain I'd probably never walk.   As I walked I reflected on something my teacher Thich Nhat Hanh said about people and the sturdiness of trees, “When you look at the tree during the storm you can see that the top of the tree is not solid. You can only see the tiny branches and a number of leaves on the top of the tree swaying back and forth under the effect of the wind. You have the impression that the tree is very vulnerable but if you look down to see the big branches and the trunk of the tree you see that the tree is strongly rooted in the ground. The impression that the tree is vulnerable will vanish. You see that the tree is much more solid than it looks at the top. We are like that, too." Practical Tip: When you feel anxious, uncertain or vulnerable you can practice to get solid and peaceful again. The stability of your body will help bring about the stability of your mind. Sit beautifully and practice saying: “Breathing in I see myself grounded, breathing out I feel solid, peaceful.” And so you will become. Guaranteed. 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!

Some of you may remember Christopher Reeve, the actor who famously played Superman back in the day. He truly embodied strength and vitality. But during a horseback riding accident, he suffered a devastating injury at the very top of his neck—between the first two cervical bones.That injury didn't damage his lungs.It didn't injure his heart.It didn't harm his digestive organs.Instead, it cut off the nerve supply at the top, and as a result, his entire body below the neck was affected. Breathing required a ventilator. Digestion required assistance. Movement was lost.Why does that matter to you—and what does it have to do with chiropractic?Let me explain it this way.

We have 60K-90K thoughts a day and half of those thoughts are repeated from the day before and then half of those thoughts are negative thoughts. Over time, these repeated thoughts add up to what we think of as our personality, our truth, our reality. But what happens if we don't like our situation, personality, or reality? What if we desire change in our life? That only happens when we change our perception of reality through our perspective on what is real and what is true. Being mindful of our thoughts is an excellent way to shift into a new reality. This meditation aims to help re-wire the mind one breath at a time.

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 a Breathing Mindfulness Meditation session and will accept questions from Students to help you develop your meditation practice and progress forward on The Path to Enlightenment.——-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

Discussion Questions:-In what ways do you approach the Bible like a buffet, selectively choosing verses that affirm your values rather than allowing Scripture to transform and challenge your values?-When you face spiritual warfare or temptation, do you have specific rhema words from Scripture ready like Jesus did in the wilderness, or do you need to spend more time in the logos to build that foundation?-How does the concept of inhaling God's Word and exhaling it to others challenge you to move beyond personal consumption of Scripture to active sharing and living it out?-What is the difference between knowing about God through Scripture and actually encountering God through His Word, and which one best describes your current relationship with the Bible?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, we explore a surprisingly overlooked root of kids' sleep, focus, and emotional regulation: how they breathe. Dr. Leslie Pasco breaks down why mouth breathing isn't just a “habit,” but a body-wide stress signal that can quietly shape development. This conversation is for parents, caregivers, and anyone supporting children who snore, mouth-breathe, wake tired, or struggle with attention and behavior. You'll walk away with clear early warning signs, what to look for from infancy onward, and how early intervention can support healthier jaw growth, stronger airways, and calmer nervous systems. About the Guest: Dr. Leslie Pasco is a dentist of nearly 30 years and the founder of MyOway Centers for Kids. She shifted from traditional dentistry to early intervention work focused on jaw growth, airway development, and breathing techniques to help children breathe and sleep better. Episode Chapter: 00:08:03 — Why “dysfunctional breathing” in kids often goes unnoticed 00:09:14 — Dr. Pasco's turning point: from dentistry to airway-first care 00:12:04 — What mouth breathing actually means and why it becomes a cycle 00:13:48 — Mouth breathing as a danger signal: fight-or-flight in daily life 00:16:12 — How widespread is this, and what signs parents can spot early 00:17:20 — Brain development, memory, and performance: what changes with breathing 00:20:05 — What parents can do: screening, tongue ties, early orthopedic guidance, Buteyko Key Takeaways: Watch for signs like mouth breathing, snoring, restless sleep, bedwetting past certain ages, and chronic congestion. Mouth breathing can keep a child's nervous system in survival mode, impacting digestion, focus, and behavior. Early screening matters—especially for tethered oral tissues (tongue/lip ties) linked to feeding struggles. Around age 3, gentle orthopedic appliances and daily “mini-gym” exercises can guide jaw and airway growth. Buteyko-style breathing (light nasal breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, CO₂ tolerance work) can support calm and focus. Trust your “parent gut” and keep searching if you're not getting clear answers.

As we go through our lives, all the stressors, anxieties, bumps in the road, past traumas all add up and begin to sort of paint us into a corner and sometimes it feels like avoiding them will make them easier to deal with. Out of sight, out of mind...but over time we begin to see that there is no avoiding truth because what tends to happen is instead of avoiding that thing we are pretending doesn't exist, we end of fixating on it. Instead of avoiding the thing, it begins to run our lives in so many unproductive ways. This meditation aims to help gain perspective on this and reminds us that recognizing and acknowledging, much like acknowledging thoughts while in meditation, makes moving on with our lives so much easier.

Rob welcomes Dr. Nick Heath—an atmospheric scientist living with type 1 diabetes for 27+ years and known online as “The Breathing Diabetic”—to explore how breathing can become a practical lever for living well with diabetes. Nick shares his diagnosis at age 11 and how his “second diagnosis” moment came in his mid-20s when nutrition changes improved his control and opened his mindset to other tools within his control. That curiosity eventually led him into breathwork, first through Wim Hof and then more deeply through Patrick McKeown's The Oxygen Advantage, where the science around nasal breathing, slower breathing, and CO₂ tolerance clicked—followed by a noticeable improvement in his blood sugars after a few months of consistent practice. From there, the conversation gets tactical and evidence-driven: why breathing is uniquely powerful because it's both autonomic and voluntary, how airflow through the nose can influence brain activity and calm states, and how slow breathing can improve markers tied to autonomic function (like heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity) that are often reduced in people with diabetes. Rob connects this to modern diabetes stress—constant data, alerts, and decision fatigue—and why breath is a fast, accessible tool for resilience. Nick addresses the “woo vs. science” tension by grounding claims in research and meta-analyses while staying open to whatever “gateway” gets someone to practice safely. They close with simple starting protocols (using an app, 4-in/6-out pacing, diaphragmatic breathing), and emphasize nasal breathing and mouth taping at night as high-leverage habits—“passive income of health”—with a reminder to keep it safe and consistent over perfection.

Welcome to Day 2 of The Art of Ubuntu. Today's meditation centers on the affirmation: "I am part of everything around me." This gentle practice is designed to soften feelings of separation and help you reconnect to the quiet truth of belonging—through your breath, your body, and your awareness of the life all around you. You'll be guided to settle your nervous system, open the heart with warmth, and meet your day with a little more ease, compassion, and connection. Leave feeling grounded, supported, and more at home in your own life—because you were never meant to carry it alone. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to The Art of Ubuntu—a meditation series inspired by the African philosophy that reminds us: "I am because we are." Ubuntu is the practice of remembering our shared humanity—especially in moments when life feels isolating, tense, or divided. It's not about being perfect or "nice." It's about choosing presence, dignity, and compassion—so you can feel more grounded in yourself while also feeling more connected to others. In this series, each meditation will help you strengthen the inner skills that make Ubuntu real in daily life: steadiness in your nervous system, warmth in your heart, and a clear sense of belonging. You'll explore what it means to offer kindness without self-abandonment, to set boundaries without losing your humanity, and to live with the quiet strength of community-minded love. Let this be your daily reminder that healing isn't only personal—it's relational—and your peace becomes even more powerful when it's shared. This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, "Ubuntu Mindfulness: A Gentle Practice to Feel Less Alone" episodes 2572-2578.

Calming Down Won't Make Your Life Easy (The Cross Still Remains) | Catholic Mom Learning how to calm your nervous system is powerful. Breathing slowly. Stepping outside. Drinking water. Getting out of fight-or-flight. These tools matter. But they do not mean your life will suddenly become easy. In this episode, we talk about where psychology meets Catholicism — and why even the most regulated, peaceful Catholic mom will still have a cross to carry. You'll hear about: Why calming down helps you think clearly — but doesn't remove suffering The difference between reducing chaos and eliminating the Cross What redemptive suffering really means Why no one escapes the Cross (and why that's actually mercy) The temptation to carry crosses poorly — or carry ones God never asked for How to stop trying to "out-hack" your suffering The grace God always gives for the day you're in God does not forget you. He does not accidentally assign you the wrong life. He does not ask you to carry something without giving you the grace for it. You may still have hard days. You may still say, "I'm having a very human day." But the goal isn't a cross-free life. The goal is to carry your cross well. And strangely — that is the easiest life available to us. You are not alone in your suffering. And your cross is not meaningless.

A new dangerous trend is taking over social media involving breathing fire. Most people are uncomfortable with personalized ads. Some parents are giving their toddlers raw butter as a snack. Dictionary.com has added the word "swiftie".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
