The power of movement & defining the love you want: movement choirs; nervous system regulation & a ten-step path to figure out the type of love you deserve On this episode of The Lisa Burke Show, dancers Veronique Scheer and Gabrielle Staiger talk about how the body stores emotions. Mentor Rick Serrano walks through a simple checklist to define a partner that matches your life goals and one deserving of you. Traumatic Injury to Identity Shift, Education and Trauma-Healing workshops Veronique Scheer, founder of Very Unique Yoga, was a professional musical theatre performer living her dream life in Barcelona as a young adult. This dream was abruptly halted by a devastating motorbike accident at 21. Through years of rehabilitation, a law degree (plan B) and reinvention, Veronique turned to yoga, pilates and trauma-healing practice. She realised that movement could me more than performance or aesthetics; it could be a tool for nervous system regulation, trauma healing and identity reconstruction. “The nervous system governs how we experience life.” Today, Veronique's work blends movement science, hormonal literacy and nervous system education into a holistic approach, particularly supporting women navigating stress, burnout, postnatal recovery and life transitions. She distinguishes between nervous system regulation and long‑term training, emphasising that our reactions often arise from stored patterns in the nervous system long before cognition catches up. Co-regulation in couples Veronique also conducts couples yoga classes, and can see how their nervous systems sync in a calming or dysregulated way. Through workshops and couple classes, she sees first‑hand how movement can reveal communication patterns, power struggles, people‑pleasing and sexual disconnect. These workshops also show how playful, shared movement can help partners remember why they fell in love. Using practices such as AcroYoga, she watches trust, control and surrender play out physically: some couples re‑discover laughter and tenderness; others confront that their relationship may actually be over. Veronique's upcoming digital academy and app (launching 2026) brings together: - Nervous system regulation - Hormonal health education - Trauma-aware movement - Conscious relationship development

In this episode, we're diving into our journey with different styles of therapy — from individual work to sessions we've done together and how each has shaped our relationship in unexpectedly positive, more accepting ways.We're definitely not claiming perfection (in fact, we had a small tiff the day before recording this). That little friction actually became the inspiration for this conversation. It gave us the opportunity to sit down, revisit it openly, and talk things through without emotional charge just curiosity, honesty, and a willingness to understand each other better.Conscious couples course Email our life coach Anthony Cheam : anthonydcheam@gmail.com Check out Spring Health Books:Breaking the habit of being yourself - Dr Joe Dispenza Good Inside - Dr BeckyConscious Loving - Gay Hendricks If you liked this episode please like and share with your friends and family!

In this episode, Ian sits down with John Assaraf, entrepreneur, behavioral neuroscience educator, and founder of NeuroGym, for a conversation about the invisible forces that shape performance — long after planning, analysis, and good intentions are in place. John shares his personal journey from a turbulent upbringing to building multiple multimillion-dollar businesses, and the pivotal moment at age 19 that reframed how he thought about success, identity, and commitment. From there, the discussion moves into the neuroscience behind habits, automatic behavior, fear, and why people often snap back to familiar results — even when they know what to do. This is not a trading tactics episode. It's a conversation about execution, follow-through, and the human side of performance — in trading, business, health, and life. About the guest: John Assaraf is a serial entrepreneur who has built multiple multimillion-dollar companies, including helping scale a real estate organization to over $4 billion in annual sales and co-founding a technology company that later went public on the NASDAQ. He is the founder and CEO of NeuroGym, where he focuses on applying neuroscience to performance, habits, and behavior change. John is also the author of several New York Times bestselling books, translated into dozens of languages, and has been featured in films such as The Secret, where many people were first introduced to his work.

Jaan Aru is a co-principal investigator of the Natural and Artificial Intelligence Lab at the University of Tartu in Estonia, where he is an associate professor. Jaan's name has kept popping up on papers I've read over the last few years, sometimes alongside other guests I've had on the podcast, like Matthew Larkum and Mac Shine. With those people and others, he has co-authored papers exploring how some of the pesky biological details of brains might be important for our subjective conscious experience, details like dendritic integration, and loops between the cortex and the thalamus. Turns out a recurring theme in his work is to connect lower-level nitty gritty biological details with higher level cognitive functioning. And he has some thoughts about what that might mean for the prospects of consciousness in artificial systems. And we also touch on his more recent interest in understanding the brain basis of insight and creativity, connecting some of the more mundane kinds of insights during problem solving, for example, with some of the more profound kinds of insights during mystical and psychedelic experiences, for example.

No small irony that sh*t in some shape or form has dominated this year's episodes.Quite a lot of crap in the world these days. This week, it's a look at crap in - crap out. How I start a thing, is how I continue a thing. This relates to many things - relationships, production quality and … dog training.With this episode's big milestone - EPISODE 200 - it felt appropriate to consider a topic that's been on my mind lately. How things proceed based on how they begin, and - just as importantly - when course correction is necessary, how on earth does one do that?In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it's time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn't easy. That's why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity. Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It's about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it's unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed. This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages.#responsibility #accountability #leadership #dogbehavior #baddogbehavior #dogtraining #shiftingbehavior #brutalhonesty #radicalhonesty #consciouscommunication #leadership #Conversation #connection #TalkUnleashed #fiercecompassion #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash

Ramadan is a gift from Allah, the Most Loving Guide. (And it's only a WEEK away!) That means we're about to experience a month of spiritual training designed for us to increase our level of consciousness. However, as the Prophet, peace and blessings upon him, said: "One may fast and get nothing from their fast but hunger. One may stand in prayer at night and get nothing from their prayer but a sleepless night." [Collection: Ibn Majah] How can we ensure our level of consciousness rises with each passing day during the blessed month?

In this deeply reflective conversation, Raj Sisodia and Nalima Bhat explore why even the smartest, most successful leaders can suddenly find themselves stuck, hitting an invisible ceiling that strategy, coaching, or performance optimization alone cannot break. Drawing from their new book, Healing Leaders: A Manual for Life and Leadership Recovery, they make the case that leadership development without inner healing is fundamentally incomplete.To see the full video podcast, check out the Conscious Capitalists YouTube channel hereTogether, we unpack how unhealed psychological wounds quietly shape decision making, relationships, and organizational culture, often sabotaging leaders at the very height of their success. Raj and Nalima introduce their seven step framework for healing and integration, Know, Love, Be, Choose, Express, Complete, and Heal, guiding leaders on a journey that begins with self awareness and ends with genuine transformation.The conversation moves into the distinction between post traumatic stress and post traumatic growth, and why real growth requires what they describe as going down to the basement of consciousness before rising to the next level of leadership. Nalima shares insights on integrating masculine and feminine energies, elder and child wisdom, and embracing the role of the wise fool of tough love, a leader grounded in both compassion and truth.At its core, this episode challenges the idea that leadership is only about external results. As Raj puts it, you cannot have a healing organization with a leader who is not healed. The more leaders do their own inner work, the more they create cultures that foster trust, psychological safety, and collective flourishing.This is not just a conversation about business or leadership performance. It is about what it truly means to lead in a way that heals organizations, communities, and ultimately the world.About the GuestNalima Bhat is a visionary speaker, leadership coach, and co author of Shakti Leadership, and a former Distinguished Professor in Gender and Conscious Leadership at Tecnológico de Monterrey.Purchase the book “Healing Leaders: 7 Steps to Recovery of Self” https://a.co/d/02VWA9G2 If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts.

What if consciousness isn't generated by the brain, but emerges from its interaction with a ubiquitous quantum field? In this episode, Sebastian Hassinger and theoretical physicist Joachim Keppler explore a zero‑point field model of consciousness that could reshape both neuroscience and quantum theory.SummaryThis conversation is for anyone curious about the “hard problem” of consciousness, quantum brain theories, and the future of quantum biology and AI. Joachim shares his QED‑based framework where the brain couples to the electromagnetic zero‑point field via glutamate, producing macroscopic quantum effects that correlate with conscious states. You'll hear how this model connects existing neurophysiology, testable predictions, and deep questions in philosophy of mind.What You'll Learn How a quantum field theorist ended up founding an institute for the scientific study of consciousness and building a rigorous, physics‑grounded framework for it. Why consciousness may hinge on a universal principle: the brain's resonant coupling to the electromagnetic zero‑point field, not just classical neural firing. What macroscopic quantum phenomena in the brain look like, including coherence domains, self‑organized criticality, and long‑range synchronized activity patterns linked to conscious states. How glutamate, the brain's most abundant neurotransmitter, could act as the molecular interface to the zero‑point field inside cortical microcolumns. Which concrete experiments could confirm or falsify this theory, from detecting macroscopic quantum coherence in neurotransmitter molecules to measuring glutamate‑driven biophoton emissions with a specific quantum “fingerprint.” Why Joachim sees the zero‑point field as a dual‑aspect “psychophysical” field and how that reframes classic philosophy‑of‑mind debates about qualia and the nature of awareness. What this perspective implies for artificial consciousness and whether future quantum computers or engineered systems might couple to the field and become genuinely conscious rather than merely simulating it. How quantum biology could offer an evolutionary path for consciousness, extending field‑coupling ideas from the human brain down to simpler organisms and bacterial signaling.Resources & LinksDIWISS Research Institute for the scientific study of consciousness “Macroscopic quantum effects in the brain: new insights into the neural correlates of consciousness” – Research article outlining the QED/zero‑point field model and its neurophysiological connections. “A New Way of Looking at the Neural Correlates of Consciousness” – Paper introducing the idea that the full spectrum of qualia is encoded in the zero‑point field. “The Role of the Brain in Conscious Processes: A New Way of Understanding the Neural Correlates of Consciousness” – Further develops the brain‑as‑interface, ZPF‑based frameworkHuman high intelligence is involved in spectral redshift of biophotonic activities in the brain - studies on glutamate‑linked emissions in brain tissue – Experiments that inform potential tests of the theory.Key Quotes or Insights “The brain may not produce consciousness; it may tune into it by coupling to the zero‑point field, like a resonant oscillator accessing a universal substrate of awareness.” “Conscious states correspond to macroscopic quantum patterns in the brain—highly synchronized, near‑critical dynamics that disappear when the field coupling breaks down in unconsciousness.” “Glutamate‑rich cortical microcolumns could be the molecular gateway to the zero‑point field, forming coherence domains that orchestrate neuronal firing from the bottom up.” “If we can engineer systems that replicate this field‑coupling mechanism, we might not just simulate consciousness—we might be building genuinely conscious artificial systems.” “Quantum biology could reveal an evolutionary continuum of field‑coupling, from simple organisms to humans, reframing how we think about life, intelligence, and mind.”
In this episode of Integrated Being, I sit down with Talor Stewart, award-winning architect and author of Conscious Home Design, to explore how our homes shape our well-being. We talk about how intentional spaces can reduce stress, nurture relationships, and support your mind, body, and spirit.I share insights on why we can feel scattered at home even when everything is clean, and Talor gives practical tips for creating spaces that truly uplift us from lighting and furniture placement to incorporating plants and personal touches.

Ari Esmaili “Ketamine” Looking At The Complete Picture”
Send me a some feedback!In this episode, Mike and Angie continue their ten-part Unbreakable series by moving deeper into the heart of their transformation — the shift from a survival-based relationship to a conscious one. After laying the groundwork of childhood conditioning and nervous system wiring in earlier episodes, this conversation exposes how unspoken expectations, preferences, and control mechanisms quietly fueled years of volatility and conflict.They explore how peace became the guiding value that reshaped their relationship, parenting, and daily life. By distinguishing between preferences and standards, Mike and Angie reveal how letting go of control allowed their nervous systems to regulate, trust to rebuild, and stability to emerge. This episode makes it clear: relationships don't change when circumstances change — they change when the nervous system does.Key Takeaways1. Preferences quietly puncture peace When preferences matter more than harmony, conflict becomes inevitable.2. The nervous system prioritizes familiarity over safety People repeat painful dynamics because survival patterns feel known, not because they want suffering.3. Standards create safety, preferences create conditions Standards are non-negotiable foundations; preferences are flexible and optional.4. Triggers reveal unresolved internal pressure Emotional reactions don't come from the moment — they come from stored survival energy.5. Conscious relationships are built on self-regulation Peace emerges when each person takes responsibility for their own nervous system.Notable Quotes• “When my preferences mattered more than my wife and my peace, it really did rule the house.” • “Anytime we held a preference and we wanted our preference more than peace, then it ruptured everything.” • “Preferences puncture peace.” • “It's not a preference that we have fidelity in our marriage.

Send me a some feedback!In this episode, Mike and Angie continue their ten-part Unbreakable series by moving deeper into the heart of their transformation — the shift from a survival-based relationship to a conscious one. After laying the groundwork of childhood conditioning and nervous system wiring in earlier episodes, this conversation exposes how unspoken expectations, preferences, and control mechanisms quietly fueled years of volatility and conflict.They explore how peace became the guiding value that reshaped their relationship, parenting, and daily life.

The moment a vision stops feeling theoretical and starts asking something real of you, everything changes.In this episode, Byron speaks candidly about what it means to bring The In Movement into form. Not as a brand concept, but as a lived philosophy shaped by years of teaching, partnership, risk, and trust.Rather than offering a polished origin story, Byron reflects on the quieter forces behind the studio's creation. The long arc of preparation, the subtle pivots that could have led somewhere smaller, and the internal clarity required to choose something bigger. He explores the tension between going inward and showing up fully in the world, and why embodiment, community, and lasting transformation sit at the heart of this movement.This conversation invites you behind the scenes of a project still unfolding. It does not explain everything. Instead, it opens a doorway into the questions, values, and inner work that make this space what it is becoming.Episode Chapters:00:00 – Returning to the mic and the season of building02:03 – A pivotal moment and the idea of preparation meeting opportunity05:52 – Truth, freedom, and the inner work behind the vision10:00 – What “The In Movement” actually means15:37 – Alignment, disagreement, and creative tension between founders20:14 – Byron's role as a visionary and pattern seer23:25 – When the project almost took a smaller form25:20 – Curating an experience of lasting transformation29:26 – Community, embodiment, and why people come back30:50 – What this space is asking of him now35:18 – Empowerment, oscillation, and long-term support37:43 – How to stay connected as the movement unfoldsMentions & Resources:Michael Henri's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelyoga.pt/ Byron de Marse's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byronyoga/ The IN Movement Instagram: https://www.instagram/com/the_in_movement/Tags: The In Movement, Yoga philosophy, Founders journey, Embodiment, Community building, Vision and leadership, Conscious business, Transformation, Inner work, Yoga culture
In this episode, Dr. Vignesh Devraj moves beyond the moral ideas of being “nice” or “letting things go.” This conversation reframes forgiveness as a form of emotional and biological recovery. Drawing from Ayurveda, psychology, and lived clinical experience, the episode explores how unresolved emotional pain impacts immunity, inflammation, and healing, and why forgiveness is less about others and more about restoring inner balance.

Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, the nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions. In Ayurveda, it is mentioned that controlling Vata is the most difficult part of healing and recovery. Recently, I have recorded a workshop on - Balancing The Mighty Vata, which has over 6 hrs of content, with notes filled with practical inputs that can be integrated into our life.

Emotional Support Animals are bullsh*t. I said it. If you're feeling a certain way about what I've just said - defensive, perhaps - this episode is definitely for you.This is about emotional self-regulation, about how animals can and do serve the purpose of supporting us emotionally, but not by slapping a vest on them so that we can justify taking them places.CLARIFICATION - this is NOT about legitimate Service Animals - animals defined by the Americans with Disability Act as being trained to execute a specific and defined task for its handler that is life supporting/necessary. So the point - the fact that when I am being the leader my dogs need - in that process I take care of their needs and in so doing, I feel better. So they support me, but only by my supporting them first.Kind of like the world around me. When I make it so that other people's behavior or the circumstances of my life need to be a certain way in order for me to be okay, I'm set up for failure.The truth is that I get to regulate myself. My internal circumstances ARE the solution.In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it's time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn't easy. That's why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity. Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It's about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it's unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed. This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages.#emotionalsupportanimal #ServiceDogs #emotionalregulation #responsibility #accountability #leadership #dogbehavior #baddogbehavior #dogtraining #shiftingbehavior #brutalhonesty #radicalhonesty #consciouscommunication #leadership #Conversation #connection #TalkUnleashed #fiercecompassion #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash
In this episode, the conversation dives deep into the profound connection between our physical environment and our personal well-being. Moving beyond the "wow factor" of aesthetic style, the discussion centres on Conscious Home Design—a philosophy that treats the home as a powerful tool for personal development and a direct reflection of one's truest self.The dialogue explores how to move past merely accommodating a client to truly hearing their needs. By layering architectural precision with emotional intelligence, the discussion highlights how a home can be organised to support the activities that foster human excellence, from creative expression to physical vitality.This episode explores the vital importance of ensuring beautiful designs are grounded in reality and budget from the outset to maintain the joy of the building journey. By applying Maslow's hierarchy to the floor plan, the conversation illustrates how a home can serve more than just basic shelter by dedicating specific zones to inner growth, wellness, and the quality of our connections—giving, receiving, and reciprocal.Listeners will discover how to identify and remove "friction points" in a layout to create a daily boost in efficiency and mood that compounds over decades. From strategically placing activities according to the sun's path via the "sunny window effect" to creating physical touchstones that allow for a conscious mental shift into a space of sanctuary, this episode challenges you to view your four walls through a new lens. It is a masterclass in sensitive, user-centric design that organises space to nourish the soul and facilitate a richer, more authentic life. Hosted on Acast.

When the world feels dense—not just “I'm stressed,” but that heavy, invisible pressure that builds in your body—leadership gets real, fast. Especially if your work lives in urgency: domestic violence advocacy, shelters, case management, child and family services, special education, autism support, and nonprofit leadership. In this episode, I'm naming what so many big-hearted, mission-driven leaders are carrying…and offering a conscious leadership lens that helps you lay the burden down without abandoning your people. In this episode, you'll learn: How to tell the difference between responsibility and burden (and why confusing the two fuels burnout) Why the “savior reflex” is so common in crisis work—and how it quietly hijacks your boundaries A simple way to come back to clarity when urgency, guilt, and hypervigilance start running the show In crisis environments, regulation isn't about bliss—it's about signal. I'm inviting you to aim for feeling 10% better, not perfect. Timestamps01:39 — Beyond “just do box breathing”: the conscious leadership lens02:30 — The identity contract: “If I don't do it, who will?”03:24 — The distinction that changes everything: responsibility vs. burden04:53 — Why crisis work trains hypervigilance (and how it impacts boundaries)06:24 — The unique layer in autism support: sensory load, advocacy, decision fatigue08:09 — Regulate: not calm, clear09:47 — The burden question (and the second question that completes it)11:20 — One clean move: boundary, decision, delegation, or repair15:19 — Repairing after you said yes when you meant no16:41 — Resetting agreements as you grow18:08 — The hidden cost of carrying the burden: reactivity, resentment, messy decisions19:15 — Closing: the “Lay It Down” micro-ritual Key takeaways Responsibility is what's yours to respond to. Burden is what you've absorbed that was never yours to carry. Caring doesn't have to mean carrying. Conscious leadership is caring with clarity. Guilt isn't always a moral signal—sometimes it's a withdrawal symptom from overgiving. Boundaries aren't a wall against love. They're a container for love. Sustainable leadership isn't a luxury. It's ethics. A question to sit withWhat am I carrying right now that isn't mine? Love the show?If this episode resonated, share it with a leader in a crisis-facing role who carries too much and calls it dedication. Consider leaving a review at www.lovethepodcast.com/brilliance.

Conscious leadership begins with awareness — not strategy.In this deeply personal and expansive episode of The Leadership Launchpad Podcast - The Legacy Edition , Susan Hobson and Tracey Allen share their experience attending a conscious leadership retreat in Costa Rica — and the powerful insights that emerged around alignment, empowerment, healing, and consciousness.Two weeks post-retreat, they reflect on what happens after the ceremony ends: the 8–10 week neuroplastic integration window, the emotional work that follows, and the real-life leadership shifts that begin when awareness deepens.This is not a conversation about “quick fixes” or spiritual bypassing.It's an honest exploration of how consciousness training — including psychedelic-assisted modalities — can act as a catalyst for deeper self-awareness, emotional regulation, and aligned leadership when engaged responsibly and intentionally.In this episode, Susan and Tracey explore:Why awareness is the foundation of aligned leadershipHow consciousness training helps lower protective patterns and access deeper insightThe difference between healing experiences and real integrationTurning pain into purpose through somatic and emotional processingWhy the real work begins after the retreatHow leaders can show up more present, regulated, and impactful at work and at homeThis conversation is for leaders who feel the call to evolve — not just professionally, but personally — and who understand that conscious leadership starts from the inside out.

Many people enter retirement feeling uncertain, disconnected, or afraid of becoming irrelevant. In this episode, author and conscious aging advocate Wayne Lehrer reframes later life as a powerful third act—one that can be consciously designed for purpose, vitality, and authentic happiness. You'll learn how mindset, meaning, and daily practices shape not just how long you live, but how well you age. Wayne Lehrer is an author, sculptor, meditation teacher, and conscious aging advocate. A former World's Fair and theme-park designer and IMAX filmmaker, he now leads international workshops on purpose, vitality, and later-life fulfillment. His work integrates psychology, spirituality, and practical wisdom for aging consciously. Wayne Lehrer brings a rare multidisciplinary perspective shaped by careers in design, filmmaking, yoga, meditation, and health advocacy. After confronting his own third-act identity crisis in his early 60s, he distilled decades of insight into a practical framework for conscious aging. Modern longevity has given us decades of life beyond traditional retirement, yet few people are prepared for the psychological and identity challenges that come with it. Many experience boredom, depression, loss of purpose, or fear as familiar roles fall away. Aging is not only biological—it is deeply shaped by belief systems, emotional patterns, and purpose. Chronic stress, rumination, and disengagement quietly accelerate biological aging, while meaning, connection, and intention support healthspan and resilience. Listeners will learn the difference between circumstantial and authentic happiness, why identity loss—not aging itself—drives late-life distress, and how simple daily practices can transform later life into a period of contribution, creativity, and joy.

Enjoy this episode? Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!Host Faust Checho explores the Law of Attraction as taught by Abraham Hicks, unpacking manifestation, emotional alignment, and the art of allowing, in this solo episode of the Far Out with Faust.Drawing directly from the original teachings of Abraham Hicks, Faust places the Law of Attraction in the context of a world saturated with fear, conflict, and distraction. As headlines push scarcity, outrage, and hopelessness, this episode explains how emotional alignment, deliberate creation, and intention determine whether we unconsciously amplify the chaos — or consciously step out of it. Faust explores why negative emotions are signals, not failures, how fixation on current events can reinforce unwanted outcomes, and why mastering focus and the art of allowing is essential for staying grounded, abundant, and clear in unstable times.Topics include:✨ Manifestation explained: Why desire alone isn't enough without belief, expectation, and alignment.
This playlist is 72% vinyl friendly. Not bad. The SL-1300G in 2025. Technics keeping it simple with the design, if not with the spec trying to convince punters they need one. ‘Coreless Direct Drive Motor Achieving Stable Rotation The use of a coreless direct-drive motor with no iron core eliminates uneven rotation of the turntable known as cogging. Also, the twin-rotor construction reduces the bearing load while maintaining high torque and reduces minute vibrations during rotation. Furthermore, the SL-1300G's motor was redesigned to eliminate subtle vibrations that could affect sound quality. To improve rigidity, the same reinforcement pattern as the Reference Class SL-1000R/SP-10R was used for the coil mounting base‘. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. NB: THIS PLAYLIST INCLUDES EXPLETIVES. Lyric of Playlist 148 For the reality… Courtesy of Crooked Man, Jarvis’ by a country mile, but… For the idyll…John Sebastian. 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – Turn – Waiting For The Sirens’ Call, 2LP – London – 2005 With Barney’s lilting, slightly forlorn vocal, a little gem nearly lost on one of the band’s least successful albums. 05.02 LITTLE NEMO – A Day Out Of Time – Past And Future, LP – Domestica – 2013 Though the track originally surfaced in 1987 on the 500 run, cassette-only format of the (debut) album. Even back then it could have been seen as yet another ‘sound’ out of Europe that seemed to echo the UK alternative/new wave scene of a few years earlier. 08.48 KIM GORDON – Not Today – Play Me, LP – Matador – 2026 Get past the intro – where it very momentarily sounds (to my ears anyway) like the batteries ran out – and Kim Gordon drifts nicely across the wash of sound. 12.03 THE COMSAT ANGELS – The Eye Dance – Sleep No More, LP – Polydor – 1981 Judging by a known set list for late Nov ’81 and the fact the band were then promoting the recently released, above album, this track was likely in the set list for my Bedford Corn Exchange gig promotion earlier that month. Big smiles when I hear them… though I’ve sadly never heard a tape of the Bedford night. 15.40 BUNNYDRUMS – Holy Moly – Holy Moly, LP – Fundamental – 1984 The short-lived, mid ’80s Philadelphian band with a quirky mix of ‘new wave’ vocal and a belting soul vocal bv in the backdrop of a low slung, punk country’ish workout. Maybe it’s the ‘yippee-ki-yay’ and pseudo peddle steel guitar? The band have been here before – and will be again. 21.30 COSTUME – Once I Loved (Original Mix) – Download only – 2021 Claudia Placanica’s slightly disconcerting delivery is always the thing for me! 23.54 THE IRONSIDES – The Web – Changing Light, LP – Colemine – 2023 Cinematically soundtracking the ’70s like a good’un! The Streets of San Francisco and its like… which is apt… as that’s where The Ironsides are from. 28.57 BABY ROSE – Go – Through and Through, LP – Secretly Canadian – 2023 My fave 21st century track of the show, Jasmine Rose Wilson (to her mum and dad) with a quivering indie soul vocal – on this tune anyway – that Anonhi/Antony and the Johnsons could have penned and rolled out, albeit with a slightly different sound, no doubt. And that really is the sleeve, honest. I could be wrong but I reckon it’s a photographer’s dud that someone subsequently had a weird liking for. I struggle to actually look at it! 31.56 THE DRIFTERS – Like Sister and Brother – 7″ – Bell – 1973 I had this single in the mid ’70s but with the years since maybe ‘softening’ the senses, this made-to-measure ballad (with lead vocalist, Bill Fredericks sounding more like Johnny Mathis than I’d have remembered) sounds better now than it did back then but in the world we now live in there will be few if any songs written like this again. I had to run the idea past one of my teenage years mates but I reckon that, along with Jimmy Ruffin’s What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted (and others, no doubt), this was a last-dance-of-the-night/grab-a-girl-type tune at Bedford Rugby Club’s Saturday night ‘discos’. I’m making this actually sound like the ’40s but it was the era and I was in my late teens… and until I find my membership card, this’ll have to do. ‘Swing to Boomerang’ indeed. I don’t think they came back. 34.52 EYELESS IN GAZA – Flight Of Swallows – Back From The Rains, LP – Cherry Red – 1986 The intro to my 1984 Rorschach Testing article below sums up my thinking on Flight back then – and though the track was being played live at the time it was a couple of years before it surfaced on the above album. EIG article, Rorschach Testing, 1984 39.22 JONI MITCHELL – Eastern Rain – Archives – Volume 1: The Early Years 1963-1967, 5CD – Rhino – 2020 Truly a legend, such is the quality of the lady’s songwriting this beaut – from a Folklore Radio broadcast, of March 19, 1967 – never even made it to an official album and though it was covered by others and turned up in Joni live appearances of the time it took until the above retrospective to be released officially. And she’ll be back here quicker than you might be expecting. 43.13 SÓLEY – I Will Find You (Live, at the KEX Hostel in Reykjavik: 30.10.13) – Stream only – 2013 With a whole different tone to Liam Neeson’s ‘I Will Find You’ :), a production from the classy KEXP and a song only found on Sóley’s 5 track, 10″ EP, Don’t Ever Listen. This take however is a far more endearing version. 45.54 NORMA TANEGA – Walkin’ My Cat Named Dog – 7″ – Stateside – 1966 Was Norma ‘indie’ before there was such a thing? Sadly, she died in 2019 but search out a short Youtube interview and snippets piece (and the comments that followed) from a decade or so earlier. It was meant to be included in a proposed documentary that never then got going. 48.06 THE ELECTRIC FLAG – Look Into My Eyes – A Long Time Comin’, CD only – Columbia – 2003 From a handful of tracks that possibly didn’t make the cut for the initial 1968 release of the Chicago soul rock band’s second album, this is one of two that were first added to the above reissue. 50.52 LOVIN’ SPOONFUL – Summer In The City – 7″ – Kama Sutra – 1966 Maybe the best known tune on the show, with a forceful sounding John Sebastian and his/their ‘city’ being New York and its Greenwich Village hub back then. 53.13 THE FORTUNES – Here It Comes Again – 7″ – Decca – 1965 Innocent ’60s ‘pop’ with a classy arrangement, and another the likes of which will never be made again… and certainly not by anybody aiming for the charts. 56.09 THE MINDBENDERS – Groovy Kind Of Love – 7″ – Fontana – 1965 Wayne Fontana at the helm (and co-written by a pre-Sager Carol Bayer, I’ve just noted) I think this might have subconsciously stuck with me enough in its chart days (I was 8), to then make it to my record collection in the early ’70s. It felt then like a great many happily got rid of their records (certainly singles) after just a few years coz every second hand record shop had loads of chart stuff from just the 5-10 years prior. I was too young to have been buying the height of ’60s ‘pop’ during its time but picking it up a decade later was dead easy. Bet this cost me 10p or thereabouts. 58.05 SPUDDHA – Ton – Unreleased demo – 2014 ‘Recorded in a single take with a pair of £100 analog groove boxes (Korg Volcas) and there's no multi tracking, effects or post processing. One of the boxes is a three voice paraphonic synth and the other is an analogue drum machine. ‘At the time I was interested in making big, immersive music with an organic quality with sparse loops and a minimal setup. There's a lot of live tweaking and you will notice that the limitations of the synth mean that 1) only 3 notes can sound simultaneously and 2) the voices interrupt each other.

Very coincidentally, the day ACR recorded the above Peel session (according to the Keeping It Peel site) I saw them live supporting Cabaret Voltaire at Leicester Uni and the day the session was broadcast my diary says I had a long phone chat with Rob Gretton – no idea about what, other than re what New Order were up to at that point. 01.25.11 EARL16 – Changing World (Remix) – , LP – Merge Records – 2001 I caught this on a late night KISS FM radio show.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1417DMJay Shetty cuts through the noise with a metaphor that lands hard: toxic love is when your trauma becomes the oxygen for your relationship. You're literally breathing your baggage, your insecurities, your unhealed wounds into your partner's lungs and expecting them to somehow purify it all and give you back clean air. He contrasts this with conscious love, which isn't about waiting until you're perfectly healed or being selflessly devoted. It's about independently taking care of yourself so you can bring your best self to the relationship. And here's where most people get it wrong: toxic love turns into scorekeeping. Who does more around the house? Who loves more? Who sacrifices more? That's not teamwork. Conscious love is built on healthy agreements, not competition. Jay shares a real story about a friend whose partner struggled with porn addiction. The partner was vulnerable, honest, wanted to change. The choice was simple but brutal: leave because it affects you negatively, or stay and support them through genuine healing. They chose support. Now they have a healthy relationship. But Jay warns about the flip side: using someone's vulnerability as ammunition. When your partner opens up about their struggles and you throw it back at them during an argument, you're telling them never to be honest with you again.The shift Lewis identifies is crucial: conscious love means taking emotional responsibility instead of saying "you made me feel this way." It means communicating what you're healing, making your partner aware of your journey, and finding support together. Not because you're broken, but because healing is a journey and conscious love doesn't demand perfection before partnership. Jay's book 8 Rules of Love isn't about following his rules exactly, it's about inspiring couples to create their own agreements that work for their specific relationship. The foundation isn't romance or grand gestures. It's the unglamorous work of building agreements, staying aware of what you're healing, and never weaponizing the vulnerability your partner trusts you with. Because we all say we want honesty, but the moment someone shares something uncomfortable, we often reject it. That's how you push the other person away. If they're genuinely on a healing journey and they're transparent about it, that's worth supporting. Not forcing change on them, but being there as they do the work themselves.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Michael Shadlen is a professor of neuroscience in the Department of Neuroscience at Columbia University, where he's the principle investigator of the Shadlen Lab. If you study the neural basis of decision making, you already know Shadlen's extensive research, because you are constantly referring to it if you're not already in his lab doing the work. The name Shadlen adorns many many papers relating the behavior and neural activity during decision-making to mathematical models in the drift diffusion family of models. That's not the only work he is known for, As you may have gleaned from those little intro clips, Michael is with me today to discuss his account of what makes a thought conscious, in the hopes to inspire neuroscience research to eventually tackle the hard problem of consciousness - why and how we have subjective experience. But Mike's account isn't an account of just consciousness. It's an account of nonconscious thought and conscious thought, and how thoughts go from non-conscious to conscious His account is inspired by multiple sources and lines of reasoning. Partly, Shadlen refers to philosophical accounts of cognition by people like Marleau-Ponty and James Gibson, appreciating the embodied and ecological aspects of cognition. And much of his account derives from his own decades of research studying the neural basis of decision-making mostly using perceptual choice tasks where animals make eye movements to report their decisions. So we discuss some of that, including what we continue to learn about neurobiological, neurophysiological, and anatomical details of brains, and the possibility of AI consciousness, given Shadlen's account.

New intro, repeat episode of one I published almost exactly a year ago. While the examples I offer are a year old, the suggestions offered apply just as much to some of the chaos we're all experiencing this week as well. Hit play on this episode again, see what resonates, and I'll be back next week with some new thoughts.-In this episode of Regulate & Rewire, we explore how to navigate collective trauma and maintain mental health in a world that feels increasingly chaotic. From California wildfires to global conflicts, we discuss why our ancient nervous systems struggle with modern information overload and offer practical strategies for staying regulated while staying informed. Learn about the concept of "conscious oscillation," tips for healthy information consumption, and why finding moments of joy isn't just allowed - it's necessary for sustained resilience and impact.Three Takeaways:Our nervous systems evolved for a world of immediate, local threats - not the constant stream of global catastrophes we now face through modern technology. Understanding this mismatch helps explain why we feel overwhelmed and gives us permission to set boundaries.Balance Information and Regulation: Limit news consumption, take meaningful action when you can, and prioritize rest and joy to keep your nervous system balanced.Finding joy and allowing moments of lightness during dark times isn't privilege or denial - it's a biological necessity for nervous system regulation. Conscious oscillation between engagement and rest helps us stay resilient and effective.Website: https://www.regulatedliving.com/podcastEmail: amanda@regulatedliving.comInstagram: @amandaontheriseTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amandaontherise
