Podcasts about Close Your Eyes

Come along as I take you on a journey through Ireland. But there's no passport required for this trip because in this special BONUS episode, we're going there with our ears.  Instead of sharing photos, I'm sharing "audio pictures"—the recordings I make to capture the moments around me. As someone who is blind, these little audio snapshots help me revisit memories without being able to see them, and today, you'll get to experience them with me. From the lively streets of Dublin and Belfast to the breathtaking Giant's Causeway and places connected with C.S. Lewis and the world of Narnia, you'll hear the sounds, conversations, and little moments that invite us to delight in the beauty of God's creation. So settle in, listen closely, and let your imagination carry you to Ireland—one audio picture at a time.

Hi, Sleepy.Tonight we begin in the benigning, which is not a word, but it might be a place. A small Swedish-English place where I stand with my pockets full of half-working words, wondering if I have enough of them to carry us through the night.From there we somehow move toward a forest, an axe, my dad, and that old strange fear that maybe there is something wrong with me in a way no one has noticed yet. But before that gets too serious, there is also a terrible podcast called Grunts from the Gym, some thoughts about heavy-breathing strangers, and me sneaking into a Pilates class, standing in the back, trying to love myself even though I'm not very good at it.This is an episode about doing things badly. About going to classes just to be close to your teenager. About watching your parents' world become smaller and fearing that your own might one day do the same. And then, near the end, it becomes just you and me, Sleepy. Awake while everyone else is busy building strange dream-treehouses with their ex-bosses.A small room in the middle of the night. You're allowed to be human here. You're allowed to fall asleep.Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/HenrikstahlCause of summer leave, this episode is a rerun from one of the older favourite episodes. Brand new episode coming next week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Seeing color instead of darkness when you close your eyes is one of the clearest third eye awakening symptoms, and if you've ever wondered what it means to see color when your eyes are closed, this episode is your answer. It's not your imagination. It's not random. It's something in you that's been waking up for a long time.Somewhere along the way, you learned to override it. You felt the flicker, the color, the pressure between your eyebrows, and you called it nothing. You waited for proof instead of trusting the knowing. That's not because the gland went quiet on its own; it's because everything around you, the stress, the screens, the noise, taught you to talk yourself out of it before you even finished noticing.Episode Takeaways:Recognize color, light, and shapes behind your eyelids as your pineal gland waking up, not your imaginationTrust the feeling before you have the facts instead of waiting for proofNotice the pressure or tingling between your eyebrows as a signal, not a distractionUnderstand why fluoride, screens, and chronic stress calcify the gland that ancient civilizations built entire symbols aroundThe version of you who trusts that flicker of color instead of explaining it away moves differently. She doesn't wait for the proof anymore. She feels it first and lets that be enough. That's the woman on the other side of this, the one who stops living from the neck up and starts trusting what her whole body already knows.Take the third eye activation audio class inside Manifesting Miracles Academy and Community.

“Eternal Flame” is another song that came into my head from out of nowhere. It just started playing in my mind on its own. I remembered the song, but I had never heard of (or don't remember) an all-girl band called The Bangles. The group was popular in the 1980s. Susanna Hoff, their lead singer, wrote Eternal Flame with songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. The idea came from a Cyndi Lauper song Hoff admired, and from the eternal flame shrine near the Elvis Presley tomb in Graceland, where The Bangles saw it. “Eternal Flame” became one of The Bangles' biggest hits, reaching #1 in nine countries, including the USA in 1989. I still don't know why “Eternal Flame” barged unannounced into my head, but I'm glad it did. The song is BEAUTIFUL. Here's my cover. Chapters (00:00:08) - Close Your Eyes, Give Me Your Hand

Drivey note: this week's episode has been untouched by the loving hands of producer Jordan Mallory. John is much worse at Jordan's job than Jordan is, so please forgive this week for any audio issues or snafus.This week, John bravely asks the question "what if we gave just a few minutes to acknowledge the straights" to Merritt and Niki on this, the first day of Pride (at least when we recorded it).

A journey through the deeper side of soulful house, where timeless voices, uplifting melodies, and warm grooves come together under one roof. This selection brings together some of the finest names in the genre, from the unmistakable soul of Black Coffee, Miguel Migs, Mousse T., DJ Spen, Sean McCabe, Brian Tappert, Cafe 432, The Shapeshifters, and Sam Ruffillo, alongside legendary vocalists including Evelyn “Champagne” King, Kim English, Monique Bingham, Angela Johnson, Terry Dexter, and Rona Ray. Expect moments of pure musical sunshine as classics are reimagined, dancefloor anthems are given new life, and soulful vocals float effortlessly across deep, uplifting rhythms. From the emotional pull of “Open My Heart” and “Love Come Down” to the uplifting energy of “Supernatural,” “Close Your Eyes,” and “Solid Ground,” every record has been chosen to create a feeling rather than simply fill a dancefloor. Threaded throughout the mix are a collection of original productions from The Funk Assassin — “Blue Moon Beach,” “Blue Moonlit River,” “Blue Moonlight In My Soul,” “Balearic Blue Moon,” and the closing track “Carry You Home.” These original pieces serve as the heart of the journey, inspired by sunset coastlines, moonlit reflections, Balearic escapism, and the soulful house records that have shaped dancefloors for decades. This is music for open-air terraces, late-night conversations, sunrise moments, and anyone who still believes house music should move both your feet and your soul. TRACK LIST: 1.

Father, thank You for bringing me safely through this day. Thank You for every moment of strength, every act of kindness, and every unseen way You have carried me. Jesus, stay close beside me tonight. When anxious thoughts try to return, bring peace. When worries about tomorrow begin to grow, help me place them into Your hands. When I struggle to switch off from the pressures of life, remind me that You remain awake even while I sleep. Lord, help me release what I cannot control. Help me trust You with tomorrow. Help me receive rest as a gift from Your loving hand. Across the world, many people are preparing for sleep while carrying concerns that feel heavy. From Tennessee to Adelaide, from Auckland to Singapore and Mexico City, may hearts be comforted tonight by the assurance that God remains faithful, God remains watchful, and God remains near. Jesús, dame descanso y tranquilidad esta noche. Jesus, guarda meu coração e me conceda descanso. Jesus, bantayan Mo ako habang ako'y natutulog ngayong gabi.

JUST2 steps up for Data Transmission Radio with a Solid Grooves-ready selection Romanian groove operator JUST2 joins us on the latest Data Transmission Radio mix, fresh from his return to Solid Grooves Raw with the new single ‘Close Your Eyes'. A steady name within the Solid Grooves orbit over the last few years, JUST2 has built his reputation on tight, rolling club tools. No gimmicks. Just groove. His productions have landed in the bags of DJs like The Martinez Brothers, Marco Carola, Luciano and Richie Hawtin, and his sets carry the same heads-down energy that's made him a reliable name across underground dancefloors. The new single ‘Close Your Eyes' continues that run on SG Raw, leaning into darker territory with punchy drums, crisp percussion and a low-end built for late-night rooms. For this week's mix, JUST2 brings that same energy straight into the Data Transmission booth. Expect rolling house, stripped-back tech grooves and a few underground weapons aimed squarely at sweaty basements and packed club floors. Lock in and turn it up. ⚡️Like the Mix?

On episode one hundred and sixty nine of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim kick it "old-school" after three consecutive guest episodes. Tim shares an excerpt from Atomic Habits by James Clear to tee up their drum topic about how identifying factors that you claim in your life can make or break your ability to improve in certain areas of drumming. Matt argues an alternative, parallel approach that has been working for him.

Matt disagrees slightly, but shares a strong point of view.

Thanks to the very real and substantial threat of legal action following our last episode, the gang resolves to never* do a variety of celebrity voice impressions again. Instead, merritt, Niki and John spend half the episode talking about the Scary Movie franchise, and then spend the second half of the episode trying and failing to move on to other topics.

I'm not sure how I feel about it, and honestly it's a little frightening, but somehow John, merritt and Niki spent an entire episode discussing a single topic. I can't remember the last time this happened, and truth be told I'm entirely positive that it's ever happened, but there's a first time for everything I guess. There is one brief but noteworthy diversion about Home Depot, but otherwise I hope you brought your knee pads.Welcome to If You're Driving, Close Your Eyes, a listener-supported comedy podcast where three noble explorers chip away at the crumbling foundations of reality, five or six simultaneous topics at a time.
