In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston welcomes Brett Aldrich, founder of Seed the Spirit, for a deep dive into the 5,000-year-old science of Ayurvedic medicine. As an Ayurvedic healthcare counselor and somatic breathwork teacher, Brett shares how we can move beyond the "corporate model" of contemporary medicine to find a personalized path toward true wellness. The conversation explores how the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—make up our unique constitutions and how "doshas" (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) influence everything from our physical health to our emotional temperament. Brett explains that while the world around us may feel chaotic, Ayurveda provides the tools to remain centered and "whole" within that chaos.

Barbara McAfee, voice coach and author, explores how your voice carries early silence, family secrecy, cultural training, and unrealised gifts in the body, and how working directly with sound can restore range, authority, and emotional truth. Barbara is a voice coach, author, speaker, and performer, with over 30 years of experience helping people unlock their full voice through practical vocal techniques and tools for authentic, flexible self expression. In this episode, Lian and Barbara, explore voice as the muscle of the soul, something physical and behavioural that reveals where we have been silenced, where we adapted, and where we still hold unused range - not just vocal but all kinds of aspects of us. Barbara reflects on growing up as a secret keeper, how silence shaped her early sound, and how her voice expanded beyond what she believed possible through the Roy Hart lineage. Together they consider archetypes as living forces, energies looking for a job, and how older cultures worked with them through ritual, invocation, and sound. They look at the Five Elements as a living map of vocal expression, how earth, fire, water, metal, and air each carry distinct qualities in the body, and how landscape, gender, and class shape which of these we are permitted to use. Lian offers herself as a live example, including how partial deafness affects volume and self perception, before they experiment with laughter, yawns, and the awkward freedom of taking up more sonic space than feels polite. Listen if you notice your voice shifting depending on who you are with, like you become softer with authority, sharper with family, or uncertain about how loud you really are, and wonder what your truest, fullest expression might be.

What you'll learn from this episode: Why suppressed parts of you often show up as missing range, pitch, or volume in the voice How landscape, culture, and gender subtly train which vocal qualities feel safe to use What happens when you treat voice as a set of movable elements rather than a fixed identity Resources and stuff spoken about: Visit Barbara's Website Join Barbara on: YouTube Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Watch Barbara's TEDx talks: Bringing Your Full Voice to Life How Oral Tradition Singing Helps Us Work & Live Better Together Listen to Barbara's audiobooks: Full Voice for Leaders: Cultivating Vitality, Presence, and Impact in a Changing World (soon to be renamed Vocal Intelligence) 2025 Full Voice: The Art and Practice of Vocal Presence, 2011 Barbara's paperbacks: Full Voice: The Art and Practice of Vocal Presence Vocal Intelligence: Leading with Vitality, Presence, and Impact (coming in Spring of 2026) Bandcamp: A catalogue of Barbara's original music Join UNIO, The Community for Wild Sovereign Souls: This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul's calling to truly live your myth.

This is an orienting teaching and a return to understanding health as a lived, seasonal, and relational experience.

In this illuminating return episode, host Cyndera Quackenbush welcomes back acclaimed astrologer and oracle creator Vicki Iskandar, author of the Chinese Five Elements Oracle, for a powerful deep dive into the 2026 Lunar New Year: the Year of the Fire Horse. Building on the subtle, behind-the-scenes revelations of the Wood Snake year, Vicki explains why 2026 marks a dramatic energetic shift—from hidden negotiations and inner reinvention to bold visibility, truth-telling, and action. The Fire Horse, she reveals, is the most yang and most active of all 60 pillars in Chinese astrology, bringing intensity, momentum, and undeniable clarity. There is nowhere to hide—and that's the point. Together, Cyndera and Vicki explore: Why the Fire Horse acts like the sun, illuminating everything at once How suppressed truths, passions, and ambitions finally demand expression What this high-energy year means for introverts, creatives, and spiritual seekers How to balance overwhelming yang energy with grounding, rest, and strategy The significance of 2026 as a Peach Blossom Year, amplifying love, attraction, and visibility Which zodiac signs feel the year most strongly—including the challenges and milestones of an opposing year Protective remedies, secret friends, and practical tools for navigating intensity with grace Vicki also shares insights from her Five Elements framework, celebrity archetypes, and her newly released Chinese astrology daily calendar, offering listeners concrete ways to work with the energy instead of being burned by it. If you're sensing that 2026 is a turning point—personally, collectively, or creatively—this conversation will help you understand why, and how to meet the Fire Horse year with courage, consciousness, and purpose.

Most people think self-doubt is the enemy. Dr. Shadé Zahrai knows better — it's actually a signal. After spending years researching the neuroscience of confidence and studying thousands of high performers, this Harvard-trained leadership expert has cracked the code on why self-doubt never fully disappears and what top performers do differently when it shows up. In this raw conversation, Dr. Shadé breaks down the exact four drivers of self-doubt that hold people back, why waiting to feel confident is the wrong goal completely (confidence comes after action, not before), how expectation bias creates the reality you experience, and why the opposite of self-doubt isn't confidence at all — it's self-trust. But this isn't theory — it's applied neuroscience. We get into the five elements that increase your perceived confidence (posture, eye contact, gestures, vocal tone, and walking speed), why smiling doesn't equal weakness, how to use the CUT method to handle manipulators, and why writing things down by hand increases recall by activating different parts of your brain. If you've ever felt like self-doubt is holding you back, or if you're tired of waiting to feel ready before you take action, this episode will rewire how you think about confidence, competence, and what it actually takes to trust yourself.

Original airdate: March 21, 2023 We're all born with individual rhythms that go beyond the influence of our genes and upbringing. The Five Elements is one of the systems that we can use to understand our rhythms. The system originated in ancient Chinese medicine 2,000 years ago–when scholars theorized that the universe is composed of five forces: water, wood, fire, earth, and metal. Our guest Dondi Dahlin will help us understand the five elements better and how we can use it to transform ourselves. Dondi Dahlin is an award-winning public speaker and has been seen on Hay House, Shift Network, OMEGA Institute, Mindvalley, and ACEP. She is also a popular teacher spreading Eden Energy Medicine and the Five Elements through international workshops. She co-authored The Little Book of Energy Medicine and her book The Five Elements became a best-seller when it was released in 2016. Dondi is also an internationally-acclaimed dancer, actress, and teacher in television, film, and stage for over 30 years. In this interview, Dondi explains the personality types represented by the five elements of water, wood, fire, earth, and metal and how we can use them to stay in balance physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. She also talks about how we can use it to improve our relationships with others.

They delved deep into the essence of who we are beyond the mind and identity, exploring why we often stay disconnected from this truth.

They discussed dissolving the limits of the mind to return to a state of wholeness and clarity. Listener engagement is encouraged, and information about upcoming live retreats is shared. Key topics included the immortal elixir, the role of the ascended master, internal alchemical practices, and more.

Christianity Isn't a Nation and The Church Isn't a National Movement Host Curtis Chang sits down with N.T. Wright to explore the explosive themes of Ephesians, including what the Bible really says about the mission of the church—not as a lifeboat escaping to heaven, but a "small working model of new creation"—a multiethnic, multicultural community that stands against the powers and principalities of our age through truth, unity, and love. Wright discusses the church's mission in a divided world, and the rise of Christian nationalism. They address modern challenges such as misunderstandings of spiritual warfare, the communal nature of the armor of God, why the "belt of truth" matters today, and how Ephesians calls the church to resist counterfeit visions of power.

[This episode originally aired on February 7, 2023] Early Buddhist meditators spent quite a lot of time alone in retreat in remote, rugged areas • as a result, they were very much in tune with the the five basic elements of earth, water, fire, wind, and space • they observed that everything inside is mirrored by what is outside, and everything outside is mirrored by what is inside • we can observe these elements for ourselves, and we can emulate their qualities • the earth element has the quality of being solid, embodied, unmoving; it is connected with the sense of presence and the “thingness” of so many forms around us • the water element has a quality of flowing, cleansing, and cohesion • the element of fire is connected with warmth, compassion, and burning through obstacles • the element of wind is powerful and energetic; it is connected with movement in our nervous system, a constant energizing and moving quality • finally, the element of space is like the sky: it is vast, unbounded, open; in terms of our internal experience, it's connected with consciousness • in life and in our practice we can bring these elements into balance and harmony for the benefit of ourselves and all beings.
In today's episode, I speak to a room of young entrepreneurs about why definiteness of purpose matters more than raw talent, and how to use it to pitch with integrity. I share the five dollar for twenty dollar lesson, the five elements of every great pitch, and why saying “I don't know” builds more trust than any slick deck. I explain my thousand step philosophy of success, the three no rule for protecting your time, and the real role of AI as a servant, not a threat. Along the way, I connect it all back to freedom, faith, and becoming who you must be.
Today I sit down with Chris Vedeler, my acupuncture professor at Sonoran University — a true wellspring of wisdom — to explore the rich philosophy and practical power behind Chinese medicine. We dive deep into the Five Elements and how they mirror our emotional, physical, and reproductive health, from conception through the postpartum journey.Together, we debunk common myths about acupuncture, unpack what's really happening beneath the needles, and talk about how this ancient medicine supports fertility, balance, and healing.And if you've ever wondered, “What if I don't believe in acupuncture?” — we go there too. You'll learn why belief isn't required for your body to respond, and how these time-honored principles still meet the modern person exactly where they are.This episode is a gentle bridge between science and soul — for anyone curious about holistic ways to nurture fertility, recover postpartum, or simply reconnect to the natural rhythms of their own body.

This in-person episode of the Wildly Wealthy Woman Podcast dives into the energetics of fall through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), fascia, and nervous-system-friendly movement. Jackie is joined by healer Sheri—a seasoned RMT, yoga teacher, and creator of Facyin (fascia + yin)—who vulnerably shares her 2024 heart-health journey and what it taught her about the invisible weight of emotions. You'll learn why autumn (the Metal season) is the time to refine the “fruit” of summer into concentrated value, how lungs + large intestine govern this season, and practical ways to let go, grieve, and regain focus without pushing or hustling against your body's rhythm. Listen For Why fall is the season of distilling your efforts into what's truly valuable The difference between instinct (Po) and intuition (Shen)—and why instinct leads in autumn How grief shows up in the lungs (and a sound practice to release it) The role of the large intestine in letting go—physically and emotionally What Facyin is and why tending fascia frees flow, focus, and vitality A simple acupressure point to support grief release (LI-4, the “web” of your hand) Chapter Timestamps 00:00 Welcome & why seasonal energetics matter03:05 Meet Sheri: RMT, yoga teacher, creator of Facyin06:40 Sheri's 2024 heart-health story: shock, surrender & the weight of emotions14:45 Fascia 101: the body's sensory matrix & why fluidity = flow20:28 Aromatherapy kinesiology & moving from lower → higher vibration25:40 Five Elements 101: Yin/Yang & the five seasons (hello, Metal)29:10 Fall = Metal: distilling, purifying, and working with what's most valuable33:02 Instinct (Po) vs. Intuition (Shen): why instinct leads this season37:30 Lungs + Large Intestine: what they govern & how to support them41:05 Grief release: the “ssssss” lung sound practice (use audible → whisper → silent)44:18 Acupressure LI-4 (hand web) for moving grief + pairing with breath/sound47:55 Why pushing right now backfires (and what to do instead)51:10 Facyin: fascia + yin sequences for seasonal support54:20 Foods & gentle practices that nourish Metal season58:15 Final takeaways: relax to receive, move to metabolize emotion1:00:30 Where to find Sheri + how to join her classes Key Takeaways Autumn asks for refinement, not acceleration. Distill summer's effort into the few “gold” priorities that matter. The lung + large intestine pair rule this season: inhale the essential, exhale/release the rest. Grief is normal now.

He breaks down the difference between *how* we get cancer (external carcinogens) and *why* we get cancer (internal emotional patterns), offering a framework that finally makes sense of why some people develop cancer while others don't.Chapters:00:05:00 - The Type C Personality: Who Gets Cancer?00:10:00 - Understanding Stress vs. Trauma00:15:00 - Cancer as Teacher, Not Enemy00:18:00 - Let Death Find You Alive00:36:00 - The Five Elements and Emotional Roots of CancerLearn why people-pleasers are more susceptible to cancer and how different emotional patterns show up as cancer in specific organs.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is often called the world's oldest and longest continuously practiced medical system, with roots reaching back nearly 5,000 years. Born from the philosophies of Qi, yin and yang, and the Five Elements, it blends ancient wisdom with healing practices like acupuncture, herbal medicine, and qigong. For millennia, TCM has centered on restoring balance and harmony within the body and mind. But in an era defined by modern science and technology, can an ancient system still hold its power? In this episode, we are joined by Nina Cheng, BA. Nina is the founder of The Eastern Philosophy (homemade and curated TCM company), author of 'Chinese Medicine for the Mind,' and serves as the Council and Communications Officer of the International Association for the Study of Traditional Asian Medicine (IASTAM), the world's leading academic organization for the study of traditional Asian medicine. Part-time, she is also a graduate student in the History of Medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. The Eastern Philosophy has been featured on the New York Post, Daily Mail, and Coveteur.Follow Friends of Franz Podcast: Website, Instagram, FacebookFollow Christian Franz (Host): Instagram, YouTube
What does being a gentleman mean to you? Whether you are a man or a woman, have you ever looked at what exactly are the expectations and projections you have of men and how they should act? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks with Graeme Crosskill about the return of the gentleman and opening up the space to a different possibility with the way that men and women engage with each other. What if rather than functioning from conclusions, expectations and projections, we acknowledge that men and women are different, and we actually gained the awareness of how men function and how women function, and how can we be with that together?

Welcome to In Reality, the podcast about truth, disinformation, and the media with host, Eric Schurenberg, longtime journalist and media executive, now founder of the Alliance for Trust in Media.One of the hard things to face about the news ecosystem in this country at this time is that no one is coming to rescue us. There will be no Clean Air Act to take the fabrications and misconceptions and provocations out of our tragically polluted newsfeeds. If you want to consume news in a healthy way, not be misled, not trap yourself in a bubble, better understand the world at this moment, you have to take the initiative. On your own. It's up to you. This is not, god forbid, an exhortation to “do your own research' on social media. That will drive you deep down some rabbit holes. But it's an exhortation to think clearly, effectively, scientifically about what you read, or watch, or listen to. Michael Starbird is a University Distinguished Teaching Professor of Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin, who realized that the best way to teach students but how to think. His book The Five Elements of Effective Thinking, is about developing the habits of mind that make you much harder to mislead. And believe us, there are lots of people who want, for all kinds of reasons, to mislead you. Michael and Eric talk about how to judge scientific claims when you're not a scientist, as most of us aren't; how to separate evidence from noise, and why being open to change is not only a personal virtue but a civic necessity.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the flood of claims, counterclaims, and outrage in your news feed, this episode will help you see a way forward.Website - free episode transcriptswww.in-reality.fmAlliance for Trust in Mediaalliancefortrust.com Produced by Tom Platts at Sound Sapiensoundsapien.com

Send us a textIn this illuminating episode, Andrea Atherton welcomes healer and teacher Keith Coley, a practitioner with over 20 years of experience in Chinese medicine and Five Element Theory. Together, they explore what it means to awaken harmony within at a time when the world around us feels fragmented and uncertain. Drawing from his evolution from acupuncture training to the creation of Phoenix Force, Keith shares how the ancient wisdom of chi, yin–yang balance, and the Five Elements can help us release stress patterns, integrate emotional imprints, and reconnect to our soul's natural rhythm.As illusions of control and false “love and light” narratives dissolve, this conversation invites listeners into the deeper work of presence, shadow integration, and embodied sovereignty. Keith explains that harmony is not found in bypassing discomfort, but in engaging with it — honoring both yin and yang, shadow and light, contraction and expansion — as part of the creative flow of life itself.This episode serves as both a grounding guide and an inspiring call to reconnect with wholeness. It reminds us that within the chaos lies a space of deep creativity and truth — a place where harmony is not just a concept, but a lived, embodied experience. If you've been seeking balance, yearning for authenticity, or wondering how to find your center in these shifting times, this conversation will meet you at the heart of your journey.Keith ColeyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1JvQqfoZJW/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithcoley1?igsh=dmFxcGxncDRvN29k&utm_source=qr30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

In this episode, Tracy and Bernice delve into the concept of the adaptability quotient (AQ), highlighting its crucial role in navigating and thriving in our ever-changing world. It posits that AQ, which measures an individual's capacity to adjust to new conditions and learn from experiences, is just as vital for success as the more traditionally recognised IQ (logic and knowledge) and EQ (empathy and communication).The podcast breaks down AQ into five key components:Cognitive flexibility: The ability to think creatively and consider different viewpoints, shifting your thinking when needed.Emotional resilience: The capacity to maintain emotional stability when facing change and setbacks, with the goal of bouncing back to a baseline state.Unlearning and relearning: The willingness to let go of outdated knowledge and acquire new skills.Situational awareness: The ability to effectively read and respond to your surrounding environment, including the emotional journeys of others.Growth mindset: This is viewed as a spectrum rather than a fixed state, and involves consciously developing areas where you may be less growth-oriented.Contact us/Follow on SocialsEmail:Help@trans2performance.com Subscribe to the People Performance Podcast - Spotify, Apple, Youtube.

Welcome to Earth, A Love Story. I'm excited to welcome my dear heart and soul friend Dr. Carrie Murphy onto the podcast. Carrie is a teacher, coach and Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and she and I have shared many extraordinary experiences, including the extraordinaryordinary experience of loving and supporting each other on our personal and spiritual journeys. In this conversation we start at the Big Bang and land in the dangers of bypassing and the subtle and overt victim blaming that can happen around illness and suffering. And before we get into it, I want to report from the void,from the bottom of the well, from the underworld if the underworld wasn't a word or a concept (which it isn't) but an experience. Which it is. I'm also cognizant that there may be a mixed crowd listening to this episode. New folks who aren't used to my weird and wild. So I'm going to report from the void at the end of the podcast. After the lovely conversation with the lovely Carrie Murphy.

Her coaching work utilizes the wisdom tradition of Chinese medicine to solve modern problems at work and at home. She teaches nationally at universities, conferences and in small groups, providing continuing education opportunities to her peers on the subjects of the subtle body, herb-drug safety protocols, and integrative medicine strategy; and to the general public on meditation, the subtle body, and the five elements.

This episode will be looking at another single Chinese “herb:” chán tuì, Cicadae Periostracum, or cicada molting. This substance is in the Chinese medical sub-category of cool, acrid herbs that release the exterior. It has several interesting functions such as venting rashes, clearing the eyes, and stopping spasms.

Besides covering the basics of herbology including category, and functions, we will explore the history, quality, science, pharmacology, evidence, and any potential interactions of each herb or formula. Please join us, it is going to be another intriguing episode as we look at chán tuì, Cicadae Periostracum, or cicada molting!

Life isn't a straight line. It comes in stops and starts,ups and downs. Sometimes it feels like you're moving forward, other times like you've taken ten steps back. But over time, I've come to see that life moves incycles—just like the seasons in nature.For thousands of years, ancient sages and saints spokeabout a sacred order running through all of creation. They believed there was a divine intelligence woven into the very fabric of life. And now, interestingly, modern science is starting to echo those teachings—recognizing patterns ofconnection, evolution, and even a hint of universal consciousness.Highlights of this Episode:- The Law of the Seasons- How the Five Elements influence us#LiveOnPurpose #IntentionalLiving #FromBurnoutToBreakthrough #StillBecoming #SacredRest #LivingToBE #NervousSystemHealing #SlowLivingMovement #FaithOverFear #FromDoingToBeing #HealingInStillness #SpiritLedLiving #RealConnectionMattersInformation:www.reinogevers.comBooks:Sages, Saints and SinnersDeep Walking for Body Mind and SoulWalking on Edge: A pilgrimage to Santiago

They told you the body was just biology… but the ancients knew better.In this episode, we dive into the Taoist view of the body as an interface.Not just organs and flesh... but energy, emotion, and intelligence.A full system. Wired to the field.Here's what we break down:The real meaning behind the Five Elements (not the watered-down version)Why each organ holds a specific emotion, and how that shapes your realityHow Taoist view maps to frequency, energy fields, and the human physiologyWhat it really means to live in harmony with the cosmosThis isn't wellness fluff.. We call out that false light loop.This is the original blueprint for how your body connects to everything.
Scripture class by Rev. Dr. Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati on Devi Gita, chapter 2, verses 27-34, given to students of the Ramakrishna Seminary at Kali Mandir via Zoom on 18 June 2025. The Goddess said: तस्मादाकाश उत्पन्नः शब्दतन्मात्ररूपकः | भवेत् स्पर्शात्मको वायुस्तेजोरूपात्मकं पुनः || २७ || tasmādākāśa utpannaḥ śabda-tanmātra-rūpakaḥ | bhavet sparśātmako vāyus-tejo-rūpātmakaṃ punaḥ || 27 || 27. "Out of that primal substance arose ether, endowed with the subtle quality of sound. Then arose air, characterized by the quality of touch, followed by fire, characterized by visible form." जलं रसात्मकं पशात् ततो गन्धात्मिका धरा | शब्दैकगुण आकासो वायुः स्पर्शरवानितः || २८ || jalaṃ rasātmakaṃ paśāt tato gandhātmikā dharā | śabdaika-guṇa ākāso vāyuḥ sparśa-ravānitaḥ || 28 || 28.

In the final episode of this three-part series, host George Thomas is joined by Dr. Josh Pighetti and PSIA-AASI National Team members Matt Larson and Zoe Mavis for a deep dive into the Five Elements of Inspirational Instruction: Technical Expertise, Instructional Communication, Masterful Teaching, Professional Character, and a Student-Centered Approach. Together, they explore how inspirational instructors blend strong technical skills with empathy, creativity, and adaptability to meet students where they are. Zoe and Matt share real-world stories about modifying their delivery while staying true to themselves and how those small shifts lead to stronger student relationships and more meaningful learning moments. They also talk about building shared language, navigating tricky dynamics (like parent involvement), and helping students feel like they truly belong in the snowsports community. Whether you're a first-year instructor or a seasoned trainer, this conversation offers thoughtful insights, practical tools, and plenty of inspiration for connecting more deeply with your students — and with the sport you love.

Years later, I guided him through his first psilocybin journey.”From Microdosing to Life Design“Microdosing isn't about escape—it's about reprogramming. You still have to show up and do the hard stuff.”Psychedelics as a Skill, Not a Fix“Just like cooking or martial arts, this is a practice. You get better with time, feedback, and intention.”When Leaders Feel Stuck, This Is the Pattern Breaker“For many execs I work with, it's not about trauma—it's about lost clarity, emotional fog, or a 360 review that hit too close to home.”Start Low, Go Slow: Why That Advice Matters More Than Ever“You can always take more—you can't take less. Begin with microdosing. Build awareness before diving deep.”The Snow Globe and the Ski Slope: Two Metaphors That Explain It All“Think of psychedelics as shaking up the snow globe.

But that doesn't mean you can skip the legal risks.”Where It's Legal—And What to Do If It's Not“Colorado. Oregon. The Netherlands. Costa Rica. Go where it's legal. Work with a guide.
