Podcast appearances and mentions of christopher lloyd clarke

Welcome back, for the last day of this series. Over the past six days, we released, we rested, we grounded, we protected, we expressed, and we brought it all into balance. Today, we simply pause — and look back. This isn't about doing something new. It's about noticing everything that's already shifted.

Welcome back. We've released, rested, grounded, protected, and expressed. Today, on Day 6, we bring it all together: balance. This isn't a new practice — it's everything you've already built this week, layered into one full meditation. Think of today as gathering everything you've gained so far and letting it settle into place.

Welcome back. We've released, rested, grounded, and protected our peace. Today, we open into something many of us hold back without realizing it: honest expression. Peace isn't just about quieting down — it's also about no longer needing to swallow the truth of how you feel.

Welcome back. We've released, we've rested, we've grounded through the breath. Today, we turn toward something a little different: protection. Not protection as in defense or walls — but protection as in creating a steady, stable boundary around your own peace, so it isn't so easily disturbed by everything happening around you.

Welcome back. Over the last two days, we've practiced release and rest. Today, we build on that with something your body can lean on any time you need it: breath. When everything feels like too much, your breath is the one thing that's always right here with you — ready to bring you back to ground.

Welcome back. Yesterday, we practiced release — setting down what we're ready to let go of. Today, we go a layer deeper: rest. Not the kind of rest that requires a vacation or an empty schedule. The kind that's already available to you, right now, underneath everything else that's happening.

I'm so glad you're here. Some weeks, peace doesn't feel far away — it feels impossible. Too much noise, too much holding on, too much to carry. If that's where you're at today, this episode is for you. This week, we're moving through a full journey toward inner peace — one small step each day. Today, Day 1, is about release.

What if you didn't need five new techniques — just one, that you actually remember to use? Welcome to Day 7, the final day of our 7-day grounding meditation series. Today isn't about learning something new. It's about looking back — visualization, affirmation, breath, mudra, and chakra work — and choosing the one practice that felt most like yours, so you can carry it forward long after this series ends. This guided review is designed to help you move from knowing about presence to actually embodying it.

What You'll Learn in This Episode A guided review of all six grounding techniques practiced this week How to choose one practice to carry forward as your personal daily anchor The difference between understanding a practice and embodying it A closing wisdom teaching on why lived experience matters more than knowledge alone Who This Episode Is For Anyone who completed this 7-day grounding meditation series and wants to integrate what they've learned — or anyone searching for present moment awareness practices they can sustain long-term, not just for a week.

What happens when you stop practicing grounding techniques one at a time — and start weaving them together? Welcome to Day 6 of our 7-day grounding meditation series. Today, we don't learn anything new. Instead, we layer everything you've practiced this week — visualization, breathwork, mudra, affirmation, and chakra work — into one flowing, integrated meditation. This guided practice blends neuroscience with ancient yogic wisdom to show you why balance isn't about mastering one technique perfectly, but about letting several small practices support each other.

What You'll Learn in This Episode How to layer visualization, breath, mudra, affirmation, and chakra work into one integrated practice The neuroscience behind why multimodal meditation can be more effective than single-technique practice An ancient teaching from Patanjali's Yoga Sutras on why balance comes from integration, not perfection How to weave this week's practices into a single, sustainable daily ritual Who This Episode Is For Anyone who has practiced meditation techniques individually and wants to experience how they work together — and anyone searching for grounding meditation, present moment awareness, or a guided practice that blends ancient wisdom with modern science.

What if the most grounding thing you could do today wasn't more effort, but more tenderness toward yourself? Welcome to Day 5 of our 7-day grounding meditation series. Today we return to the root chakra — but instead of grounding through breath or posture, we nurture it directly, tending to your most basic needs for safety and security the way you'd tend a small fire or water a plant. This guided meditation blends chakra visualization with real nervous-system science to help you feel steadier, safer, and more whole by the end of the practice.

What You'll Learn in This Episode A root chakra (Muladhara) visualization for feeling safe and grounded The science behind why self-nurture calms your nervous system (hello, oxytocin and vagal tone) Why tending to yourself is regulating, not indulgent An ancient yogic teaching on the root as the foundation for all growth Who This Episode Is For Anyone who feels depleted, unsafe, or disconnected from their own needs — and is searching for root chakra meditation, self-compassion practices, or grounding techniques backed by both ancient wisdom and modern science.

Do you ever feel like you have to choose between staying open and protecting your peace? Today's practice proves you don't have to choose at all. Welcome to Day 4 of our 7-day grounding meditation series. Today we use Prithvi Mudra — the earth mudra — as a physical anchor for a healthy boundary. By simply touching the thumb to the ring finger while letting the rest of the hand stay open and relaxed, this guided meditation offers a felt sense of what real protection can feel like: steady, not tense; boundaried, not closed off.

Today's episode uses a simple grounding breath technique — inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6 — paired with a rooting visualization to help you feel physically anchored in the present moment. This is Day 3 of our 7-day grounding meditation series, and today we go a little deeper than arriving and resting: today, we root.

  Do you ever feel like you should be further along by now — more healed, more together, more "whole"? That pressure to rush is one of the biggest things that pulls us out of the present moment. Welcome to Day 2 of our 7-day grounding meditation series, where today's practice is all about permission to rest. Using a simple affirmation — I rest in this moment. I do not need to rush to be whole — this guided meditation helps release the urgency to be finished, fixed, or further along, and instead settle into exactly where you are right now.

Welcome to Day 1 of our 7-day grounding meditation series, designed to help you feel more present, calm, and connected to your body using a new technique each day: visualization, affirmation, breathwork, mudra, and more. Today's practice is all about arriving — fully landing in this moment, in your body, before we go any further. Using a simple river, wind, and tide visualization, you'll practice setting down whatever you've been carrying so you can start this series with a clear, open mind.

Are you arriving at the end of your week feeling completely depleted by digital noise, information overload, and chronic stress? Welcome to the grand finale and weekly review of our series. In this final episode, we explore the advanced neuro-somatic practice of baseline integration, focusing on the developmental arc of Embodying your peace.  Through this final integration protocol, you will learn how to permanently anchor your nervous system, lower your baseline cortisol, and walk through a fast-paced world with an untouchable mental immune shield. Turn off the noise of the outside world, claim your sovereign baseline, and drift effortlessly into a deep, restorative night of sleep.

Are you arriving at the end of a demanding week feeling energetically fragmented, overstimulated, or locked in a loop of mental fatigue? In this episode, we experience the advanced neuro-somatic practice of "Somatic Stacking"—layering your posture, breathwork, and hand mudras together simultaneously to force your system into deep autonomic coherence. Turn off the noise of the world, claim your absolute equilibrium, and drift effortlessly into a deep, restorative night of sleep.

Are you arriving at the end of a demanding day with a tight knot in your stomach or feeling completely depleted by digital burnout?  In this episode, we build upon the breakthrough clinical insights of Dr. Bonnie Kaplan's The Better Brain, exploring the neuro-somatic science of how nutritional depletion and high-velocity stress clamp down on the celiac (solar plexus) nerve plexus. Discover the fascinating history of ancient healing traditions and how they nurtured their vital life force by warming the body's central engine. Through a guided somatic tracking protocol focusing on the Third Chakra (Manipura), you will learn how to release "stomach bracing," drop your cortisol levels, stimulate your vagus nerve, and rebuild your cognitive armor from the inside out. Turn off the external demands of the world, feed your inner fire, and drift effortlessly into a deep, restorative night of sleep.

Are you arriving at the end of the day feeling emotionally porous, raw, or completely drained by the background panic of a busy environment?  In this episode, we build upon mapping how chronic stress drains our cognitive fuel and locks the brain stem into a perpetual loop of scanning for danger. Discover the fascinating history of ancient contemplative traditions and how they utilized specific hand gestures to shield their awareness from the information storms of early civilizations. Through a guided somatic tracking protocol utilizing the Pran Mudra, you will learn how to lock your energetic boundaries, lower your cortisol levels, and activate a full nervous system reset. Turn off the demanding noise of the outer world, seal your bio-electrical borders, and drift effortlessly into a deep, restorative night of sleep.

You know that sense of mental fragmentation, where thoughts feel scattered and the mind keeps spinning on a loop?  Welcome to Day 3 of our series, The Mental Immune System: Retraining Your Brain's Natural Defenses. Today, we focus our attention on the vital developmental arc of Grounding. When ambient stress builds up, vital energy naturally flies upward into the head, leaving the physical core feeling tightly knotted, raw, and untethered. Tonight, or whenever you hit play, we deploy a high-priority physiological circuit breaker: The 4-6 Grounding Breath.

Have you ever felt like your mind is completely unprotected against the non-stop cascade of notifications, digital stress, and collective anxiety? Welcome to Day 1 of our master series, The Mental Immune System: Retraining Your Brain's Natural Defenses. Today, we unlock the foundational gateway of your psychological armor by exploring the profound developmental arc of Release. Before you can build new layers of mental resilience, you must first clear out the toxic, high-frequency static that is currently exhausting your cognitive resources. In this introductory session, we explore the groundbreaking science of the "Mental Immune System." We look at the work of evolutionary geneticists and physicians like Dr. Michael Nehls, who reveal how our brains were evolutionarily designed to absorb vital, protective trace minerals—like lithium—straight from our natural groundwater to buffer us against aggression, impulsivity, and despair. We journey back to ancient societies who drank from mineral-dense, living springs, automatically anchoring their brains in an unshakeable state of biochemical safety. Over the course of this series, you will learn how chronic digital overstimulation causes your brain stem to hold onto a tight, defensive bracing pattern that mimics a severe physical illness. Through our featured somatic release protocol, you will learn to consciously unlatch that survival loop, flush accumulated adrenaline, and build an untouchable sanctuary within your own biology. Allow your nervous system return to its true, sovereign baseline.

When you operate at a high level, your mind naturally generates a buzzing cloud of mental static, while your body quietly locks down its creative gates. Tonight, or whenever you press play, we deploy a gentle yet profound somatic circuit breaker—our sacred daily affirmation: "I open to the flow of life around me. My nervous system is safe to let go of control." We look back at how early societies understood that human resilience isn't built on constant striving, but on the ability to fluidly adapt to life's rhythms. We also dive into the cutting-edge science of "tissue memory," mapping how chronic over-functioning forces the body into a defensive, muscular bracing pattern that continuously pumps out cortisol. Step out of the exhausting grid of productivity, claim your inner peace, and let your nervous system return to its true, sovereign baseline.

Welcome to the grand finale and weekly review of our master series. In this closing session, we explore the advanced neuro-somatic practice of permanent nervous system baseline integration, focusing our ultimate awareness on the 7th Chakra (The Crown Center). Discover the cutting-edge science of how a seven-day commitment to somatic tracking leverages neuroplasticity to structurally rewrite your default stress responses. By weaving the foundational elements of your week into our crowning, integrated protocol, you will learn to permanently anchor your nervous system on an inner throne of sovereign stillness. Turn off the noise of the outside world, claim your absolute crown, and drift effortlessly into a deep, restorative night of sleep.

Are you arriving at the end of a demanding week feeling energetically fragmented, overstimulated, or locked in a loop of mental fatigue? In this episode, we dive into the advanced neuro-somatic practice of "Somatic Stacking"—layering your posture, breathwork, and hand mudras together simultaneously to force your system into deep autonomic coherence. Tonight, we weave the foundational elements of your weekly journey into a single, masterful chakra flow meditation, focusing your ultimate awareness on the 6th Chakra (The Third Eye Center). Discover the cutting-edge science of how directing your focus between your brows halts the frantic future-tripping of the default mode network and synchronizes your brain hemispheres. Clear out the accumulated digital static of your week, reclaim your unshakeable mental clarity, and drift effortlessly into a deep, restorative night of sleep.

In this episode, we explore how high-velocity lifestyles cause unconscious "chest bracing" and trap your nervous system in a state of hyper-vigilant scanning. Discover the cutting-edge neuro-somatic science of the 4th Chakra (Heart Center), and how breathing with focused, deep-tissue awareness can instantly trigger heart-brain coherence. Through this targeted somatic protocol, you will learn how to activate the vagus nerve pathways, drop your cortisol levels, and repair the energetic leaks caused by chronic over-functioning. Turn off the frantic demands of the outside world, seal your personal sanctuary, and drift effortlessly into a deep, restorative night of sleep.

Through a gentle, guided fourth chakra (Heart Center) protocol using the Apana Mudra, you will learn how to synchronize your heart-brain coherence, lower your cortisol levels, and activate a full vagus nerve reset. Turn off the demanding noise of the world, lock your energetic borders, and drift effortlessly into a deep, restorative night of sleep.

Through a gentle, guided solar plexus protocol using our featured Inhale Peace, Exhale Wisdom breath technique, you will learn to instantly lower your center of gravity, drop your cortisol levels, and activate a full parasympathetic reset. Turn off the noise of the world, claim your inner stability, and drift effortlessly into a deep, restorative night of sleep.

Welcome to Day 2 of our maximum-SEO master series, Nervous System Regulation • Guided Meditation for Anxiety & Brain Reset. Today, our precise developmental arc is Rest, with our absolute emphasis anchoring deep into the second chakra—Svadhisthana, the Sacral Center. This is your body's native reservoir for emotional fluidity, creative stamina, and natural ease. When you operate at a high level, managing endless daily logistics, your mind naturally generates a buzzing cloud of mental static, while your body quietly locks down its creative gates. Today, we deploy a gentle yet profound somatic anchor: our sacred daily affirmation, "I open to the flow of life around me." This practice acts as an immediate biological circuit breaker, downshifting your brainwaves and pulling your awareness out of the exhausting grid of productivity so you can drop safely back into your native, fluid rhythm.

Ever feel like your energy is entirely trapped in your head, spinning like a top while your physical body feels running on empty?  Welcome to Day 1 of The Resonance Roadmap: 7 Days of Chakra Energy Regulation. This classic session was recorded during the collective pause of the pandemic, capturing a rare, uniquely potent energy designed for raw stability and absolute comfort. Tonight, or whenever you press play, we dive into the Root Chakra—the biological foundation of your entire nervous system. When stress hits, your vital life force instinctively flies upward to power a hyper-vigilant brain, leaving your physical roots completely dry and depleted. This episode hands you the direct keys to reverse that biological drain. You'll learn the neuro-somatic science of how dropping your awareness into the base of your spine instantly signals your adrenal glands to stop pumping cortisol. The payoff? Immediate relief from the invisible weight of daily deadlines, a profound dropping of your shoulders, and a deep, delicious sense of physical safety. You don't have to keep forcing your way through the mental static. Hit play, claim your stability, and let your body remember how it feels to be completely supported.

Though Savasana (or shavasana), the “Corpse Pose,” is a relaxation practice often used at the end of a yoga session, it can be done anytime to cultivate rest, rejuvenation, and wellbeing. It invites you to release tension, surrender to gravity, and allow the body-mind to come into a state of ease. Imitating a corpse helps you to release your grip on the impulse to alter or fix the present moment in any way. By symbolically surrendering to death, you relinquish worry and relax into stillness. Savasana fosters inner peace that can stay with you long after the practice is over. I learned this version from my yoga teacher, Tony Rivers, who was a student of B.K.S. Iyengar. My sound engineer Eric Fischer gets credit for the deeply relaxing soundscape. I hope you enjoy. Support the showHost: Tess CallahanSubstack: Writers at the WellInterview Podcast: Writers at the WellMeditations on Insight TimerMeditations on YouTubeTess's novels: https://tesscallahan.com/Music (unless otherwise noted above): Christopher Lloyd ClarkAudio Editing: Eric FischerBy tapping "like" and "follow" you help others find the show.

This contemplative meditation draws from the fourth century BCE Taoist master Chuang Tzu, as retold by Thomas Merton. Through the ancient parable of wind moving through ten thousand holes in the earth, we listen to nature's voice—a symphony of mooing, roaring, and whistling that emerges when the invisible breath of life moves through all things. The voice of the wind becomes a powerful metaphor for the higher power many seek in recovery and spiritual practice: an unseen presence speaking through us, singing the music of our lives. What is it that blows through these ten thousand holes? This teaching invites you to rest in stillness, to listen deeply, and to surrender to the mysterious power whose voice awakens all beings. Perfect for those seeking presence, peace, and connection to something greater than themselves.Based on “The Breath of Nature” from The Way of Chuang Tzu by Thomas Merton.Music by Eric Fischer and Christopher Lloyd Clarke.Audio by Eric Fischer.Support the showHost: Tess CallahanSubstack: Writers at the WellInterview Podcast: Writers at the WellMeditations on Insight TimerMeditations on YouTubeTess's novels: https://tesscallahan.com/Music (unless otherwise noted above): Christopher Lloyd ClarkAudio Editing: Eric Fischer By tapping "like" and "follow" you help others find the show.

This is a guided relaxation meditation for promoting restful sleep. If possible, aim for a dark, quiet, cool sleeping environment. The meditation invites you to recall a moment of gratitude from you day, followed by a full-body relaxation scan, and a short round of 4-7-8 breathing (inhaling for four seconds, holding for seven, and exhaling for eight). Then, you release your breath, letting the body breathe naturally as you visualize the heart and mind mingling. The main focus is on surrendering the mind to deep, peaceful sleep. The session ends with five minutes of ocean wave sounds.

This is the final episode of a 30-part meditation series inspired by Adyashanti. It recaps the previous meditations and encourages you to challenge yourself to see the face of God in all people, all places, all animals, and all situations. Awakening is not for the faint of heart, but it leads us to experience life in ways beyond our wildest imagination.The 30 practices build on each other, so you can listen consecutively, but if there is one in particular that speaks to you, feel free to stick with it. Based on the teachings of Adyashanti, they can be used alone or as a companion to his audio series, The 30-Day Wake Up Challenge, or his book, The Direct Way: 30 Practices to Evoke Awakening. This meditation correlates to Day 30. In some cases, the meditations are also loosely inspired by the teachings of Andrew Holecek, Pema Chodron, and Eckhart Tolle.  I hope you enjoy.Audio by Eric Fischer. Music by Christopher Lloyd Clarke.Support the showHost: Tess CallahanSubstack: Writers at the WellInterview Podcast: Writers at the WellMeditations on Insight TimerMeditations on YouTubeTess's novels: https://tesscallahan.com/Music (unless otherwise noted above): Christopher Lloyd ClarkAudio Editing: Eric Fischer By tapping "like" and "follow" you help others find the show.

This forgiveness practice is number 29 of a 30-part meditation series inspired by Adyashanti. When you forgive someone else, you release yourself from them. When you forgive yourself, you release yourself from the past. Forgiveness is about letting go. While feelings as they arise have a right to be felt and anger can often be justified, persistent states of hatred, rage and resentment are corrosive to our wellbeing. They are hindrances on the path to insight. Here you are invited to forgive as a way of freeing yourself. These practices build on each other, so you can listen consecutively, but if there is one in particular that speaks to you, feel free to stick with it.
