You're not “too sensitive” — your nervous system is reacting to the past, not the present. Learn why you get emotionally triggered so easily, even in small, everyday situations.This is part 2 of a powerful 4-part Inner Child series for 2026.In this episode, you'll discover what's really happening in the moment you feel overwhelmed, reactive, or out of control… and why it's not a flaw or weakness.We explore the psychology of emotional triggers through the lens of Inner Child work, nervous system activation, and Taoist wisdom. You'll learn how your mind stores past experiences as emotional memory, why your Inner Child reacts before logic kicks in, and how common situations like feeling ignored, criticised, or misunderstood can activate old patterns.Most importantly, you'll understand why trying to “calm down”, suppress your feelings, or think logically often makes triggers worse — and what to do instead. This is not about fixing yourself. It's about seeing clearly. This awareness is the first step to healing your Inner Child and creating emotional balance and ease in your daily life.Watch part 1 here: https://youtu.be/FY0EMmLfiDw?si=vTqAAqPGWAcsgHFxIn part 3: How to heal your Inner Child through reparenting.With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).Discover our online consultations, events and shop: https://www.wuweiwisdom.comSubscribe to David's FREE Journal: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/Other related teachings on our YouTube channel that will help you:Our INNER CHILD PLAYLIST  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zICGLRS1b7q1HSJhZRash5qqOur GOLDEN THREAD PROCESS PLAYLIST https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zIAsS_wgdRN7QGBKIk54sbyDJoin our free Wu Wei Wisdom Community Facebook support group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wuweiwisdomcommunity  If you love our work, you can now make a small donation to help fund the continued production of our weekly teachings by buying us a 'virtual coffee'! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wuweiwisdom Book an online Golden Thread Process & Inner Child Consultation with David: https://www.wuweiwisdom.com/therapies-for-body-mind/ Follow us on Instagram: @wuweiwisdomSign up to receive a relaxing guided meditation gift, plus our weekly newsletter + offers via email:  https://www.wuweiwisdom.com/signup Music by Earth Tree HealingDisclaimer: This podcast and any associated teaching and comments shared are not a substitute for professional therapy, mental health care, crisis support, medical advice, doctor diagnosis, or professional healthcare treatment.

Which data should you rely on to help guide your hunting for better results? And, should you buy a drone as a tool to help count your herd, scout bucks, and improve your hunting, or are these just a legal trap?  All in this episode of the Deer IQ podcast.• 2A DISPLAY PRODUCTS  (10% OFF Code "IQ" ) Here: https://www.2adisplay.com/ • Get a Smart Land & Hunting Plan HERE: https://deeriq.com/land-and-hunting-plans/ • Take the Deer IQ Test 360 HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/______________________________________________** Season 3 Quiz: https://deeriq.com/season-3-quiz/ __________________________________________GENERAL INFO about ALL Deer IQ Resources HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/ Website: https://deeriq.com  Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762  Deer IQ  FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/  Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide:  https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/  Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/  Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon   Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/ Episode # 128Guest: Host Adam LewisIQ ranking - 10 (Advanced)

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast we discuss scientific research about buck beds - and if bucks repeatedly use the same beds and bedding areas over and over, or if “buck bed hunting" is just a waste of time. The results may surprise you. I'm joined again by Dr. Bronson Strickland, former co-director of the MSU deer lab.  If you hunt buck beds or bedding areas on public land, or try to create them on your private land, you'll want to see what they found and the implications for us hunters. And a bonus about the best deer food source you need to look for and just how to create it on your private land - all that and more in this eye opening episode of the Deer IQ podcast.

In this episode I'm with guest Dr. Bronson Strickland looking at the data of a collared buck study to answer the question - does the moon affect buck behavior? Many deer hunters swear by it and that it can lead to increased sightings and success, but is that true? The team at MSU deer lab did something no one has to this point, eliminate all other variables to see if there was a pattern JUST BY MOON phase or positions. The data doesn't lie, and it's revealed in this episode!

A calming Taoist meditation to help parents release control and guide their children with trust, presence, and love - with Taoist monk and teacher, David James Lees.This mindful parenting meditation invites you to release control, soften fear, and return to presence-led parenting. Rooted in Taoist wisdom, this gentle practice helps parents and caregivers guide without gripping, protect without overprotecting, and respond with calm awareness rather than emotional reaction.Through breath, visualisation, Inner Child compassion, and affirmations, you'll reconnect with your authenticity, trust your child's inner wisdom, and learn to parent from alignment instead of perfection. This meditation supports emotional regulation, resilience, and a deeper sense of ease for both parent and child.⚠️ PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS MEDITATION WHILE DRIVING OR OPERATING MACHINERYThis meditation can be practised daily or whenever you need it. Learn more about our online consultations, events and shop: https://www.wuweiwisdom.comSubscribe to David's FREE Journal: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/Other teachings and guided meditations you may enjoy: The Tao of Parenting - Raising Resilient Children with Trust and Balance https://youtu.be/uJ37rsYFr1E?si=nBFqdPQjshuJL-wGGUIDED MEDITATION PLAYLIST https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zIA12P7BftG6a18lIWFDjL35&si=bWWub6YyoZpXhFubINNER CHILD PLAYLIST https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zICGLRS1b7q1HSJhZRash5qq&si=7TkslLfvthRWePOIIs there a question you'd like answered on the show?

A Taoist guide to parenting with trust instead of fear — so love flows without control, criticism, or comparison.Parenting often pulls us between overprotection and emotional distance — both driven by fear, not love. In this episode, we explore the Tao of parenting, the art of guiding without controlling, and how to raise resilient, confident children through trust, presence, and balance. Drawing on Taoist wisdom, Inner Child awareness, and the release of criticism, comparison, and judgment, this episode reveals how fear-based parenting patterns form — and how aligning with wu wei creates freedom, emotional safety, and unconditional love for both parent and child.With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).Discover our online consultations, events and shop: https://www.wuweiwisdom.comSubscribe to David's FREE Journal: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/Other related teachings on our YouTube channel that will help you:INNER CHILD PLAYLIST  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zICGLRS1b7q1HSJhZRash5qqSHEN (THE SPIRITUAL SELF) PLAYLIST https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zIBmp50wYcmU7jCBLp1Qvl-jIs there a question you'd like answered on the show?
