Today's poem is In Response to Feeling Alone by t. liem. The Slowdown is currently taking a break. We'll be back soon with new episodes from a new host. This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Ada Limón's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on October 5 2021. In this episode, former host Ada Limón writes… “I spend a lot of time alone during the days. Though the dog would like to assure you I am not alone. And the cat sleeping in the upstairs bathroom would also beg to differ. Still, many of my days are spent in my office, or on the back porch, or at the kitchen table alone with my thoughts.”Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Do you ever feel alone, even in your marriage? In this powerful episode of Master Your Marriage, we explore why loneliness hits so hard and how your brain is wired for connection. Sharla and Robert dive into the science of the relational brain, challenging the “go it alone” mindset of individualism. From Ed Tronick's “still face” experiment to James Coan's Social Baseline Theory, we uncover how co-regulation—syncing with your partner's nervous system—can transform your relationship. Through compelling stories, like a couple rediscovering connection amidst conflict, and the stark realities of isolation (from orphanages to solitary confinement), we reveal why connection isn't just a want—it's a survival need. Plus, we tackle the paradox: love can calm us, but it can also trigger us like nothing else. Tune in to learn how prioritizing your marriage can heal loneliness and build a healthier, happier life together.Key TakeawaysYour Brain Craves Connection: Science shows our nervous systems are designed to co-regulate, sharing emotions and stress with others to stay balanced and healthy.Loneliness Hurts—Literally: From infants in orphanages to adults in solitary confinement, disconnection can lead to physical and mental health crises.Co-Regulation in Action: Simple acts, like staying calm when your partner is stressed, can help them “borrow” your calm nervous system.The Paradox of Love: Marriage can be a lighthouse of safety but also a mirror, triggering old wounds—making a secure relationship essential for survival.Individualism's Downside: Prioritizing “me” over “we” can erode connection, but relationalism rebuilds trust and intimacy in marriage.Dive DeeperExplore these resources to deepen your understanding of how we're wired for connection:Ed Tronick's “Still Face” Experiment: Watch this YouTube video to see how a mother's blank face impacts her child, showing the power of emotional synchronicity.

It hard enough to deal with the difficulties that we face in life. Experiencing silence from God makes the difficulties unbearable from Psalm 13:1-6.

Spiritual awakening, dark night of the soul, vibrational shifts, energy alignment, and losing relationships — this episode dives deep into Ari's personal spiritual awakening journey. It all began during a mushroom trip that shattered my old beliefs and revealed how much of my life was out of alignment. As a triathlete, Ari noticed the shift first in her workouts, where nothing felt the same, and soon after, her entire reality changed: she broke up with her partner, left her living situation, and watched people vibrate out of her life.If you've ever felt like you're losing everything but somehow gaining your truest self, you're not alone. I hope this episode offers validation, encouragement, and insight into your own awakening journey. Whether you're experiencing a dark night of the soul or just starting to question your reality, this conversation will help you feel less alone and more empowered as you move into alignment.

Matthew David Segall, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness Department at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, and the Chair of the Science Advisory Committee for the Cobb Institute. He is a transdisciplinary researcher, writer, teacher, and philosopher applying process-relational thought across the natural and social sciences, as well as to the study of consciousness. He describes himself as a “process philosopher” and transdisciplinary researcher, reflecting his commitment to bridging multiple fields​. Segall's work builds on the metaphysical framework of Alfred North Whitehead, extending Whitehead's philosophy of organism into new domains of science, religion, and ecology. In doing so, Segall reinterprets the Western philosophical lineage – from ancient ideas of a world-soul to German Idealism and beyond – to articulate a participatory, organismic vision of nature. His philosophy portrays a cosmos ensouled with meaning and experience, challenging mechanistic materialism and inviting a renewed dialogue between science and spirit​. Segall integrates insights from Whitehead, Schelling, Goethe, and Steiner into a process worldview, develops an organic (panpsychist) cosmology, practices a bold transdisciplinary methodology, and engages public dialogues that embody a form of sacred activism on behalf of our living planet.TIMESTAMPS:(0:00) - Introduction (0:43) - History of Mind-Body Problem(7:40) - Critiquing Physicalism(12:55) - Quantum Theory Interpretations(16:14) - Addressing Illusionism & Scientism(22:00) - The Metaphysics of Prehension(28:14) - Panexperientialism in Physics(31:55) - Propositional Feelings(37:09) - What is Consciousness?(45:00) - Panexperientialism & Free Will(50:00) - Bridging Science & Philosophy(54:42) - Challenging the Cold/Dead Universe tale(1:00:39) - Misconceptions about Matt's work(1:04:20) - Telos(1:07:44) - Matt's Philosopher recommendations(1:13:00) - Mind At Large (Upcoming Events!)(1:17:40) - Conclusion EPISODE LINKS:- Matt's Website: https://footnotes2plato.com-  @Footnotes2Plato : http://www.youtube.com/@Footnotes2Plato- Physics Within the Bounds of Feeling Alone: https://footnotes2plato.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/physics-within-the-bounds-of-feeling-alone.pdf- Matt's X: https://x.com/ThouArtThat- Matt's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/matthew.david.segall- Matt's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewdavidsegall- Matt's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/footnotes2platoCONNECT:- Website: https://tevinnaidu.com - Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/mindbodysolution- YouTube: https://youtube.com/mindbodysolution- Twitter: https://twitter.com/drtevinnaidu- Facebook: https://facebook.com/drtevinnaidu - Instagram: https://instagram.com/drtevinnaidu- LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/drtevinnaidu=============================Disclaimer: The information provided on this channel is for educational purposes only.

Have you ever felt truly and deeply alone? That you are completely isolated behind thick walls or an invisible shell–even when surrounded by a crowd of people or friends? Humans–like most other animals–thrive when they feel connected to others. So it makes sense that loneliness–which is very different from making a choice to spend time alone–negatively impacts physical and psychological health. As research shows us that connection is the key, I've reached out to a top expert on connection for insights on this important topic. Join Dr. Carla Manly and Dr. Adam Dorsay, author, podcaster, TEDx speaker, and connection expert, for a compassionate exploration into the realm of loneliness and the steps we can take to increase connection. With loneliness at epidemic levels, we can all use tips on how to foster healthy relationships to boost mental, emotional, and physical health. Topics covered include: introversion, loneliness, solitude, mindfulness, compassion, mirroring, cognitive flexibility, cognitive rigidity, black-and-white thinking, resiliency, anxiety, stress, depression, bullying, pets, relationships, spirituality, pandemic, loneliness epidemic, and friendship.

Part One. Money Philosopher Michael Sakraida, author of Money, Balance and Joy: Improving Your Life Story, dives into the chaos of balancing wealth and happiness in today's noisy ever-changing world. Spoiler: it's not just about stacking cash. Michael unveils his three-part happiness equation—monetary wealth, time wealth, and social wealth—and why you need all three in harmony to live your best life. He doesn't hold back, taking shots at Wall Street, risk tolerance tests, and the “Financial Media Smut Club” for ignoring the emotional reality of money management. From showing why financial independence is about more than just collecting paychecks to calling out those unregulated financial influencers, Michael mixes real talk with a sprinkle of humor. If you're tired of the same old money advice, this episode serves up a refreshingly honest, and a bit cheeky, perspective on finance. Key Highlights of Our Interview: Zen and the Art of Smart Change: Why You Shouldn't Waste Emotional Energy “Think of change like triage. Some things are worth saving; others, not so much. It's about focusing your energy on the changes that actually count.” The Happiness Equation: Why Money Alone Isn't Enough "Money buys happiness when it's part of a three-part ecosystem—monetary wealth, time wealth, and social joy. Balance the three, and you've got the real happiness equation." Feeling Alone in the Crowd: Why Money Isn't the Only Problem “Inflation, Wall Street, and the financial media don't get it—people feel isolated and misunderstood. It's not just about cash; it's about finding control and direction when everything feels chaotic.” Wall Street's Blind Spot: The Emotional Toll of Inflation “While Wall Street and politicians stay comfortable, most people struggle, feeling alone and powerless. The key isn't just money; it's reclaiming control in a system that's stacked against you.” Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Michael Sakraida Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.

Today, we are going to pray through a prayer to find belonging when you're feeling alone. First and foremost, I want to share that belonging is only truly found in our identity in Christ. He gives us a true sense of security in Him. He created us, He knows us, and He has set us free.  - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional: https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotionalYour Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
