Podcasts about Grounding

Do you ever walk out of a room feeling completely drained or heavier than when you walked in? If you are an empath or a highly sensitive person (HSP), you aren't just hearing people—you are absorbing their emotional weather. In this episode of Calming Anxiety, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic Martin Hewlett shows you how to stop bracing for other people's storms and start generating your own climate of peace. Using a powerful 4-2-6 breathing technique and an immersive aura visualization, you will learn how to build a protective shield of calm that reflects negativity, leaving you centered, grounded, and in complete control. Cold Intro"Do you ever leave a room feeling heavier than when you walked in? Like you've just absorbed someone else's negative energy without even realising it? If you're an empath or simply a highly sensitive person, today we're doing something different. We're not building a wall to keep people out. We're learning how to protect your energy by building a calm aura around you."  Time Chapters00:00 – Intro: The Empath's Dilemma & Protecting Your Energy 00:38 – Welcome from Martin Hewlett & Settling In 01:21 – Paramedic Insights: Reading the Room vs. Changing the Climate 01:57 – The 4-2-6 Breathing Practice for Panic & Anxiety Relief 03:05 – Guided Aura Visualization: Creating Your Shield of Light 05:37 – Silent Hypnotherapy Affirmations for Grounding 08:25 – 3 Daily Caring Tips for Maintaining Your Emotional Boundaries 09:44 – Grounding Outro, Social Share & Closing Words AffirmationsRepeat these powerful phrases internally or whisper them to lock in your sense of peace and control: I am calm within this storm. Other people's storms move around me, not through me. I do not absorb what was never mine to carry. My calm is steady, even when the forecast around me changes. I am the climate I choose to create. 3 Daily Caring TipsTake these practical tools with you into the weeks and months ahead to protect your peace: Breathe Before You Enter: Before walking into a meeting, a room, or a tough conversation, take three mindful breaths and visualize your protective aura growing stronger. Let Storms Pass Through: Remember that you are human, not a weather system. If someone else's mood touches you, give it gentle permission to pass right on by. Audit Your Environments: Notice who in your life is consistently stormy. Be honest about how long you stand in the rain—you have full permission to shorten visits, take calls later, and protect your space. Share the CalmIf today's visualization helped you find your footing, please take a quick moment to share this episode on your social media feed. You never know which of your friends or loved ones might desperately need a 10-minute sanctuary of peace today. Smile often, my friend, and to your soul be kind.

Kyle and Joe interview Rachel Turetzky & Douglas S. Wingate about their perspectives on the WilsonLeary 8 Circuit Model of consciousness.

In this episode: Maybe Day and maybe logic: Honoring Robert Anton Wilson and learning to hold beliefs, models, and interpretations more lightly Reality tunnels: How biology, experience, culture, and conditioning filter our perception of reality Robert Anton Wilson's legacy: Guerrilla ontology, stand-up philosophy, Prometheus Rising, and using humor to destabilize rigid beliefs Timothy Leary beyond the caricature: His early work in psychology, the development of the Eight-Circuit Model, and the parts of his intellectual legacy that are often overlooked The first four circuits: Bodily safety, emotional territory, language and symbolic thinking, and social and relational conditioning The upper circuits: Sensory and somatic intelligence, metacognition, archetypal and transpersonal experience, and unitive states of consciousness Metaprogramming: Identifying the beliefs, imprints, and automatic patterns shaping our lives—and developing the capacity to revise them Circuit Zero and Stanislav Grof: Prenatal and perinatal experience, the basic perinatal matrices, and the lasting influence of early development Normalizing unusual experiences: Archetypal encounters, ancestral material, entities, out-of-body experiences, synchronicities, and other phenomena that conventional psychology may struggle to interpret Psychedelics and re-imprinting: How expanded states may loosen entrenched developmental patterns and create opportunities for psychological change Pleasure as therapeutic material: Anhedonia, chronic survival states, the "hedonic intelligence" of Circuit Five, and learning to experience joy without treating it as a distraction from the work Clinical applications: Using the model during psychedelic preparation to identify intentions, developmental imprints, and material that may emerge Medicine and dosage selection: How MDMA, ketamine, psilocybin, LSD, and 5-MeO-DMT may produce different experiences depending on the intention and dose Integration and verticality: Grounding expansive, archetypal, or unitive experiences through the body, emotions, relationships, and everyday life Chapel Perilous: Understanding destabilizing experiences, ontological shock, spiritual emergencies, and the process of reconstructing meaning afterward Beyond psychedelics: Connections with yoga, meditation, occult practice, Chinese medicine, chakra systems, and other psychospiritual traditions The new course: The structure of The Eight-Circuit Model of Consciousness: An Integrative Framework for Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, including its 14 lessons, practical exercises, assessments, certification, and continuing-education options

In today's episode, we invited back Thaddeus Owen and Heidi Syme of DreamWalkerz, this time focusing on electromagnetic fields (EMFs), wireless technology, and the growing questions many families have about how modern environments can affect health.We discuss the difference between naturally occurring and man-made electromagnetic fields, the research that has fueled concern about wireless technologies, and why this topic has become increasingly relevant as our homes fill with Wi-Fi networks, smartphones, Bluetooth devices, smart appliances, and baby monitors.Thaddeus and Heidi share their perspective on practical ways families can reduce exposure without becoming overwhelmed, including simple changes related to device use, distance, sleep environments, and home technology.

If there is a painful memory, an old grudge, or a person you keep replaying in your mind, today is your day to let go of what no longer serves you. Releasing the past isn't about pretending it didn't happen; it's about freeing yourself from the heavy baggage that weighs you down so you can carry less and breathe more. In this episode of Calming Anxiety, clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic Martin Hewlett guides you through a powerful 10-minute somatic release practice. You will discover how the body physically stores the tension of old emotional hurts and learn how to consciously loosen your grip on these negative anchors. Whether you are carrying a recent disappointment or a long-held injustice, this gentle guided meditation will help you break free from old stories, process past pain without judgment, and reclaim the peace that belongs to you in the present moment. Time Chapters00:00 – Letting Go of What No Longer Serves You 00:33 – Welcome to Calming Anxiety with Martin Hewlett 01:16 – Identifying Your Negative Anchors 01:43 – Somatic Breathing: Relaxing and Letting Go 02:02 – How the Body Holds Stress and Emotional Trauma 03:01 – Visualization: Lightening the Weight of Old Hurts 04:08 – Guided Affirmations for Deep Emotional Release 07:02 – 3 Daily Caring Tips for Moving Beyond the Past 08:25 – Grounding and Returning Awareness to the Room 08:46 – Martin's Personal Journey: Training the Mind to Find the Light 09:52 – Outro: Becoming Your Own Beacon of Hope AffirmationsRepeat these words silently or softly out loud to loosen the grip of old emotional ties: "I release what no longer serves me." "I am not anchored to my past pain." "I let go of the crutches and the fears that weigh me down." "I am free to grow beyond old stories." "I choose peace over the weight I've been carrying." 3 Daily Caring TipsName the Anchor: You cannot release what you haven't consciously identified. Take a moment today to specifically name one grudge, old story, or hurt you are ready to put down; naming it out loud immediately strips away some of its power. The Release Ritual: Physically write down the thing that is weighing you down in just one sentence. Fold the paper up or place it in a drawer to send a physical signal to your nervous system that it is safe to stop holding on. Loosen the Grip: Real emotional release rarely happens all at once, and that is perfectly okay. When the old thought or memory returns today, don't fight it—simply focus on holding it a little more loosely than you did yesterday. OutroLetting go of trauma and old injustices can be one of the hardest things we ever achieve, but please remember that whatever you are going through right now, there is always light and there is always hope. If this 10-minute sanctuary helped lighten your emotional load today, please consider sharing this episode with someone in your life who might be quietly carrying their own heavy anchors. You might be the beacon of hope they need to finally breathe easier. Thank you so much for putting your faith, trust, and time into this practice. Practice positivity when you see your reflection, smile often, and in every thought, word, and deed—be kind.

If checking your bank balance leaves you with a tight knot in your chest, or if paying the monthly bills feels like a battle you can't win, this episode is your sanctuary. Financial anxiety is not a personal failure; it is a natural response from an overwhelmed nervous system reacting to a perceived threat. In this episode of Calming Anxiety, clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin guides you through a powerful 10-minute somatic relaxation practice.You will learn how to settle your nervous system, untangle your self-worth from a number on a screen, and quiet the mental overwhelm of money worries. Discover how to soften the physical tension of stress, find stillness between your breaths, and take back control of your peace of mind—one small, manageable step at a time. Episode Chapters00:00 – Understanding Financial Anxiety as a Nervous System Response 00:41 – Welcome to Calming Anxiety with Martin 01:14 – Somatic Breathing Exercise for Panic and Stress Relief 02:17 – Releasing the Weight of Money Worries 02:41 – Finding Stillness: The Nervous System Reset 03:46 – Guided Visualisation & Positive Affirmations for Abundance 07:26 – 3 Daily Caring Tips for Managing Financial Stress 08:49 – Bringing Awareness Back & Grounding 09:20 – Outro, Sharing the Sanctuary & Closing Thoughts Episode AffirmationsRepeat these words silently in your mind or softly out loud during the practice to let them settle as truth: "My bank balance is a number, it is not a measure of my worth." "I am capable of handling my finances one small step at a time." "This worry is a feeling passing through me, it is not a forecast of my future." "I release the need to solve everything about money right now in this exact moment." "I am safe in this moment, even while my finances are still being figured out." 3 Daily Caring TipsThe One-Look Rule: Avoid compulsively refreshing your banking apps, which only feeds the anxious loop. Choose one intentional moment today to check your balance, close the app, and let it be enough until tomorrow. Separate the Maths from the Meaning: A fluctuating number is just data. Notice when your anxious mind starts spinning stories around that data—such as feelings of being "behind" or "not enough." The One-Step Rule: You don't need to fix your entire financial future today. Take just one small, completed action: open one envelope, write down one expense, or send one message to quiet the overwhelm. Social Media Outro & ShareIf financial anxiety is sitting heavily on your shoulders today, please know that you are not alone. If this 10-minute sanctuary helped you breathe a little easier, please consider sharing this episode with a friend, loved one, or colleague who might be quietly carrying the exact same weight. You could be the reason someone else finds their peace today. Thank you for your continued faith and trust in my work. Don't bury your head in the sand—one small step is all it takes. Be positive, smile often, and above all, be kind.

In this episode, I'm going to say something that might challenge what you've been taught in the healing space: Most nervous system tools don't actually heal you.Breathwork. Tapping. Grounding techniques.They've become the go-to solutions for regulation.But if you're still getting triggered…still repeating the same emotional patterns…still feeling like you have to “manage” yourself…Then something deeper is being missed.The Problem With Most Nervous System ToolsA lot of what's being taught right now focuses on:Calming the bodyRegulating in the momentManaging emotional reactionsAnd while that can feel helpful, it doesn't create lasting change. Because these tools only come in after the trigger is already activated.They don't address:Why the trigger existsWhere the emotional pattern came fromThe belief driving the reactionSo you stay in a loop of: trigger → tool → temporary relief → repeatWhy Other Approaches Keep You StuckThis is why people:Stay in therapy for yearsKeep using the same techniquesStill feel triggered despite “doing the work”Because they're being taught how to cope, not how to resolve.And when something isn't resolved, you have to keep managing it forever.What Actually Works (My Approach)My work is different.Instead of managing the nervous system, I go to the root of what's dysregulating it in the first place.That means:Identifying the original beliefRevisiting the emotional imprintChanging the meaning of the experienceRewiring the pattern at its sourceWhen I change the belief and the emotion attached to it, the trigger disappears.Not managed. Not controlled. Gone.Why This Creates Real, Lasting ChangeWhen you do this deeper work:You don't need tools to calm downYou don't get triggered in the same wayYou stop repeating the same emotional cyclesBecause you've removed the root cause. And when the root is gone, there's nothing left to regulate.A Personal ExampleI share my experience growing up with fear and strict conditioning that shaped my beliefs about men and relationships.Those beliefs followed me into adulthood until I went back and changed them.Not by breathing through the trigger but by transforming the belief that created it.That's when everything shifted.This Work Requires More — But Gives MoreThis isn't a quick fix.It requires:HonestyVulnerabilityWillingness to revisit discomfortBut the result is something most tools can't give you: Freedom from the pattern — not temporary relief from it.Download my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

Since the 1990s, technologists have promoted a vision of the “cloud” as a shapeless and intangible entity. Grounding the Cloud: Urbanism in the Shadow of Data (University of Minnesota Press, 2026) by Dr. Ali Fard peers through this hazy façade to reveal the earthly material foundations of global computing and data extraction. Tracing the historical and technological development of the cloud computing paradigm, Dr. Fard exposes an ever-evolving project in which ideologies, economic models, and marketing images collude to shape our shared urban environments. Demonstrating how technology's spatial footprint now stretches to nearly every corner of the globe, Grounding the Cloud analyzes the often-hidden infrastructures that facilitate platform capitalism—from the mines extracting rare earth minerals in remote regions to the vast global network of fiber-optic cables at the bottom of the oceans to the nondescript data centers that sit on the peripheries of major urban areas. Meanwhile, with compelling examples of smart-city initiatives and corporate campuses, Dr. Fard shows how the future of urbanism is deeply intertwined with the growing economies of data extraction. Breaking down the myth of a clean and efficient tech urbanism, this book makes visible the complex material geographies and geopolitics that undergird today's most powerful and omnipresent corporations. A timely critique of the growing agency of tech platforms in determining the future of urban space, Grounding the Cloud offers an essential framework for understanding the shifting relationship between technology and urbanization. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars. You can find Miranda's interviews on New Books with Miranda Melcher, wherever you get your podcasts.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Near-Infrared Light Therapy & EMF Shielding with SaunaSpace Founder Brian Richards Your mitochondria are starving for a nutrient you've probably never tracked, and it's not a vitamin or a macro. This episode reveals how a forgotten 1910 therapy uses light to physically restructure water inside your cells, unlocking a mechanism for healing, detox, and mitochondria repair that most of biohacking has completely overlooked. Go to https://sauna.space/ and use code ‘Dave' for a 15% discount! Host Dave Asprey sits down with Brian Richards, founder of SaunaSpace and a leading voice in incandescent light therapy and infrared sauna engineering. With a background in chemistry and organic synthesis, Brian spent over a decade building a science-backed alternative to LED-based light therapy rooted in full-spectrum incandescent light and deep radiant heat. After healing his own insomnia, adrenal fatigue, and brain fog through light and heat exposure, he developed the FireLight Spectrum, a technology engineered to restore what modern lighting strips away. Dave and Brian trace incandescent light therapy back to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg's 1910 book on light therapeutics, and explain why the same institutional forces that suppressed chiropractic care and natural medicine buried this practice for over a century. They break down how near-infrared light penetrates the body to charge water into a more bioavailable state, boost glutathione and melatonin production, and repolarize cellular voltage for better metabolism and longevity. The conversation also covers why blue light from LEDs devastates hormones, testosterone, and fertility, how EMF exposure silently drains human performance, and why grounding and Faraday shielding matter more than most supplements on the market. You'll Learn: Why near-infrared light functions as an essential nutrient your body cannot make without it How light physically restructures water to improve mitochondria function and cellular energy The suppressed history of Dr. Kellogg's incandescent light therapy and why it disappeared How blue light exposure crashes testosterone and disrupts fertility and hormone regulation Why EMF shielding and grounding are critical, overlooked tools for longevity and recovery How to use infrared light like a daily supplement instead of an occasional treatment Why carnivore-adjacent, nutrient-dense eating pairs naturally with light and heat therapy Thank you to our sponsors! - ELITE Performance Coaching | If you'd like to discover where you may be addicted to struggle, allergic to success, and what may be standing between you and your next breakthrough, visit FastestChange.com - Longevity Farms | Go to getlongevityfarms.shop.

Ever feel like your energy is entirely trapped in your head, spinning like a top while your physical body feels running on empty?  Welcome to Day 1 of The Resonance Roadmap: 7 Days of Chakra Energy Regulation. This classic session was recorded during the collective pause of the pandemic, capturing a rare, uniquely potent energy designed for raw stability and absolute comfort. Tonight, or whenever you press play, we dive into the Root Chakra—the biological foundation of your entire nervous system. When stress hits, your vital life force instinctively flies upward to power a hyper-vigilant brain, leaving your physical roots completely dry and depleted. This episode hands you the direct keys to reverse that biological drain. You'll learn the neuro-somatic science of how dropping your awareness into the base of your spine instantly signals your adrenal glands to stop pumping cortisol. The payoff? Immediate relief from the invisible weight of daily deadlines, a profound dropping of your shoulders, and a deep, delicious sense of physical safety. You don't have to keep forcing your way through the mental static. Hit play, claim your stability, and let your body remember how it feels to be completely supported.

If you are feeling a bit "bleugh," deflated, or just cognitively and physically drained today, this gentle mindfulness and clinical hypnotherapy session is created exactly for you.In this episode, we explore why a blurred day doesn't mean a broken day—it simply means your nervous system is asking for recalibration and gentleness.Together, we will activate your biological "off switch" using a targeted vagus nerve breathing practice, rest within a comforting, golden visualization, and realign your mindset with intentional affirmations.You don't have to perform wellness or rise above today. You just have to move through it gently.

Hello Fam, Due to some changes in policies in streaming platforms like Spotify, we would be changing our Sleep Music only content to Guided Meditation + Sleep Music to help you sleep better.

Overcoming Health Anxiety: Box Breathing & Breaking the Reassurance LoopEpisode DescriptionIf your mind has been scanning your body today, checking, worrying, or searching for signs that something is wrong, this episode is a safe space for you. Health anxiety keeps us stuck in the future, anticipating the next symptom or worst-case scenario. In this 10-minute session, we dismantle that threat response and anchor you back to the present. Join Martin, a clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic, as he shares unique insights from his time on the ambulance—where he frequently treated an overactive nervous system misfiring as a physical emergency. Learn why your physical symptoms are real but not medically dangerous, and discover how to quietly message your body that you are completely safe. Time Chapters00:00 – Welcome & Episode Introduction00:49 – Finding Your Comfy Space01:20 – Guided Box Breathing Practice (3-3-3 Method)03:40 – The Paramedic's Perspective: Understanding Health Anxiety Symptoms05:22 – Mindful Affirmations for Health & Safety08:27 – 3 Daily Caring Tips for Health Anxiety Relief10:13 – Grounding & Returning to the Present Room10:50 – Outro & Anxiety Breaker SupportToday's Affirmations for Peace of MindLet these words settle in gently. You don't have to fully believe them yet—just allow them to land: "My body is not my enemy. It is working hard for me right now.""Sensations are not symptoms. My nervous system is sensitive, not broken.""I am allowed to feel uncertainty and choose not to search for answers right now.""I release the need to check. The answer I am looking for is already here. I am safe.""My mind has been working so hard to protect me. I give it permission to rest."3 Daily Caring Tips for Health Anxiety ReliefGive the Worry a Window: If anxious health thoughts pop up, don't fight them. Dedicate one specific 5-minute window later in the day (like 4:00 PM) to acknowledge them. Outside of that window, gently step away and return to your breath.Notice the Reassurance Loop: Googling symptoms or constantly asking loved ones for reassurance feels like quick relief, but it actually feeds the anxiety cycle. When you feel the urge to check, pause and use an affirmation instead.Move Your Body Gently: Taking a simple 10-minute walk gives your nervous system direct, honest feedback that your body is working, your lungs are breathing, and you are safely moving through the world.Connect & SupportExplore the Library: Access over 2,300 completely free, 10-minute relaxation sessions designed to calm your mind.Go Deeper: Ready to disrupt the anxiety cycle for good?

Theme: Preparing for Life's Storms (personal, relational, spiritual)Hosts introduce the Moral Support Podcast live session and explain it's a conversation between two friends that airs on streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple) — listeners can find episodes there. The central lesson: storms (external crises, personal struggles, grief, loss) are inevitable for everyone, so the question is not “will a storm come?” but “am I built and prepared for the storm?” Practical metaphor: prepare for storms the way you prepare for weather (umbrellas, supplies) and the way lighthouses are built during calm seas so they withstand storms — build stability before crisis hits. Distinction of storm types: external storms (events around you), internal storms (fear, anxiety, intrusive thoughts), spiritual storms, and storms that arise from our own choices/neglect; each can overlap and affect mind, body, emotions, and relationships. Key takeaways: Expect difficulty rather than be surprised by it; anticipatory preparation (stress inoculation) helps you handle hardship better. Preparation includes memorizing Scripture, regular prayer, grounding in truth, and spiritual practices so you can access truth quickly when intrusive or fearful thoughts arise. Mental techniques: observe your thoughts (create cognitive distance), ask “Is this helping me or hurting me?” and replace unhelpful thoughts with truth (word replacement therapy). Specific coping tools and why they workScripture memorization as “storm prep”: having Scripture readily available allows immediate replacement of fearful thoughts, rather than searching for a verse in crisis. Whole Armor metaphor: put on truth, righteousness, the helmet of salvation, shield of faith, sword of the Spirit so you have both defensive and offensive spiritual resources while maintaining feet shod with peace. Cognitive distancing: label a thought (“this is a thought I'm having”), step outside the “jar” so you can see the thought's origin (memory, stress response) and decide whether to water or starve it. Grounding techniques in sensory awareness (notice sounds, chair under you, clock) to re-anchor in the present when overwhelmed; this pulls you out of catastrophic imagining. Gratitude practice (journaling/regular thankful observation) reshapes attention: training your brain to look for positives increases detection of good things and counters the reticular activation system that amplifies negatives. Research and experiential claims were both invoked in the talk. Mental health and therapyHosts affirm therapy (pro-therapy), note prior stigma, and recommend therapy as an available help that doesn't replace spiritual practices — “get a therapist, but don't see a therapist before you see God” summarizes the integration of supports. Holistic view: struggles show up across physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional domains; a problem beginning in one domain commonly bleeds into the others, so fight on multiple fronts. Decision-making in stormsPrinciple: emotions are high and judgment is often low during storms; therefore pre-decide key responses where possible — determine ahead of time how you will act so you don't make irreversible choices in a highly emotional state. The “decision to not decide” is itself a decision; the remedy is preparing choices in advance and practicing responses so you can act wisely when pressured. Recovery and resilience after stormsSurviving can be simple persistence: sometimes resilience is sustained holding on — continued prayer, Scripture, and faith practice rather than dramatic accomplishments. Testimonies referenced holding on through miscarriage and grief by clinging to trust in God. Rebuild stronger: post-storm assessment reveals vulnerabilities; when rebuilding, reinforce the weak points so you don't repeat the same failures (build back stronger and wiser). Practical, actionable steps (daily habits to prepare)Memorize and rehearse Scripture lines that counter fear (examples referenced: “God has not given me the spirit of fear…” and “No weapon formed against me shall prosper”) so you can quote them quickly in crisis. Daily spiritual disciplines: read the Word, pray, put on spiritual “armor” each day so you're habitually prepared rather than reactive. Cognitive practice: when a negative thought appears, ask “Is this helping me or hurting me?” and “Is this true or a lie?” — then either replace it or let it go. Practice pausing and creating distance from the thought. Sensory grounding: name five things you can hear, feel, or see to return to present reality when anxiety spikes. Gratitude journaling: write daily simple thanks (start small) to rewire attention toward positives. Get support: form a “moral support partner,” bring a notebook to church, highlight and personalize scriptures, and consider therapy when needed (therapy + spiritual practice). Warnings and important distinctionsNot every negative moment is demonic or spiritual — some storms are natural, some are consequences of neglect or poor choices, and some are intentionally allowed by God for reasons beyond present understanding; discernment matters. Avoid making life-altering decisions in the heat of crisis; instead rely on pre-made decisions or wait for clarity when possible. Stigma around counseling is decreasing; therapy is framed as a helpful, legitimate avenue of care that complements spiritual practice. Mindset shifts emphasizedYou are not your thoughts; you are the thinker — adopt the posture of gatekeeper, not captive, of your mental life. Mortality awareness (Memento Mori) gives perspective: recognizing life's brevity helps prioritize what truly matters and avoid wasting energy on small battles. Weakness can qualify you for God's strength — vulnerability does not disqualify you from being helped or chosen for endurance. Short checklist to “be built for the storm”Daily: Scripture reading + memorize at least one fighting verse; prayer and putting on spiritual armor. Weekly: practice gratitude journaling; review decisions you may face and pre-decide responses to likely triggers. As needed: use grounding (name senses) during acute anxiety; reach out for a moral-support partner; consider therapy when struggles exceed personal coping. Encouragement and closing convictionsYou are not alone in storms — maintain the posture that Jesus (the speakers' anchor) is “in the boat” and present with you; stay connected to anchors (truth, community, practices) and hold on. Storms refine and form character; surviving them and rebuilding intentionally yields greater strength and wisdom for future storms. Final exhortation from the session: you can make it through your storm — hold on, do what you know to do, prepare in advance, and build back stronger. Follow us on IG at MoralSupportPodcast or our personal social media accounts.https://www.facebook.com/ginger.labathttps://www.facebook.com/sharamckee/

Some of the greatest stories of believers down through time have involved those who really studied God's Word. These people have gone before us to show us the way. From Charles Spurgeon to a missionary mother in China, daily study of the Word, and prayer, prepared them to mentor entire generations.Proverbs 27:17 says, “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.”We also read in Romans 10 that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. We have to do it, so that others know how. Remember, there is no substitute for spending time in God's Word.In order to properly train an apprentice, you need to obviously be prepared and adept. Anything less leads to weak faith, or no faith at all.This is what the Great Commission, sharing the Gospel, has always been about. Duplicating disciples. Grounding your own faith in the Bible, then imparting that to others. That is the essence of true iron sharpening iron.Let's pray.Lord, keep us about your work by daily reminding us to spend time with you in Your Word. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

What happens when spirituality is psychologically ungrounded?Today I share the real dangers that I've seen when this is the case, and how we can avoid this with a true psycho-spiritual approach.The importance of grounded psychological work for those who lean in a more spiritual direction cannot be overstated.Psycho-spiritual integration is KEY…The spiritual ego these days is quite strong collectively, where many people who lean that way reject therapy outright, and the more grounded psychological work. What they don't realize is that this is what they often need the MOST.I've seen multiple spiritual teachers directly guiding their students to reject therapy. This is straight up harmful and often has very dangerous consequences when the person is mentally unwell or has a lot of unhealed trauma.In a perfect world, we'd have practitioners helping people who are offering a more holistic, integrated, psycho-spiritual approach so that our clients wouldn't have to piece together a whole team of people.We're not there yet, so many times this has to be the case, where we support ourselves on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level with various support people. If you've done years of spiritual work and haven't ever delved into grounded psychological support, even traditional therapy, now may be the time to get real and do some work. It won't feel sexy and a huge amount of ego resistance may be present. For others, it's the opposite - they've done years of traditional therapy, and now it's time to open up spiritually.For the practitioners, for those called to be of most service to their community, it's always beneficial to self-assess. Where are our blind spots, and where may we be called to become more holistic?For me, I started out practicing more traditional psychology and then weaved in spirituality. I've been deeply spiritual in my personal life from childhood and so this wasn't a stretch, but I did have to blast through conditioned training around scope of practice and a system that often teaches therapists to avoid spirituality altogether.For primarily spiritual teachers, it could be SO useful to get some training in a more grounded psychological approach. I really do think that a psycho-spiritual framework is where we are being asked to go regardless of what side of the coin we're on, and it's actually a return to true psychology, as the word “psyche” originally means “soul.” Unfortunately, the field was stripped and sanitized of the spiritual side of things.I know that not every practitioner wants to be more integrated, and that's fine. If practitioners want to stay in a more spiritual lane, for example, they ideally should be honest with their community that what they provide is not therapy, and isn't a replacement for grounded, foundational work with a mental health professional.The best spiritual teachers or coaches make this clear in the language on their website or within their explicit teachings.Teachers or coaches who do not are a real red flag, in my opinion. They don't know their own limits and often have rejected therapy in their own lives, and so truly believe that a one sided approach works.It can be helpful to find out the background of the practitioners you're considering working with to see what types of inner work they've done. I always try to be transparent with my community, because it matters.Unfortunately, spiritual teachers who are taking on clients who are mentally unwell and psychologically ungrounded are perpetuating this problem, and some of them even tell their clients to reject therapy. It's not a stretch to say that this won't end well in most of the cases, and it's really sad to see cases of people who have taken their own lives or the lives of others because the practitioner was blind to the fact that psychological support is absolutely warranted for many, many people.I would love to hear your thoughts about this conversation.Watch the video of this episode on YouTube.Link to a prior video I recorded on this topic:Are You Too Spiritually Advanced?—About Me:My name is Leigh-Anne LoPinto, and my mission is to help co-create the new paradigm of relationships. This includes healing the relationship between men + women, and using relationships as a vehicle to psychologically and spiritually evolve.I help people break lifelong relationship patterns, heal insecure attachment and codependency, and build love on a healthy, stable foundation.Through a blend of psychology, breathwork, transformational coaching, energy work, and intuitive guidance, I support individuals in creating relationships that become a path of growth and awakening.For over 15 years, I have worked with people all over the world who are ready to stop repeating old cycles and step into relationships beyond their wildest dreams.Book an Intro Call:https://www.love-evolved.usFree Gifts:https://love-evolved.mykajabi.com/gifts This is a public episode.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 4 (6.26) Podcast Description: We open with retired Former L.A. County Fire Captain Steve Kreeger, a 40-year veteran demanding ANSWERS. Twelve hours into the Boyle Heights situation, Watch Duty reported nothing to see — and we break down how the app works as a conduit, pulling from multiple sources and retransmitting to users. An after-action report is desperately needed. Plus, the LaCoFD international USAR team (USA-2) has been activated to respond to Venezuela after devastating 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes ripped through the country's center — deploying 71 members, 6 canine teams, and 84,000 lbs of equipment, joining the Fairfax County International Urban Search and Rescue teams. Then, life goes on — the World Cup runs through July 19th, and the U.S. lost in the final 5 seconds to Turkey, falling 3-2 despite already clinching their Round of 32 spot. We also pay tribute to David Clayton-Thomas, the powerhouse lead singer of brass rock band Blood, Sweat & Tears, who died at age 84. That sends us down memory lane to the lost art of the MIXED TAPE — what was on yours? Crozier used his KOST connections to get his on the air; now the kids just share Spotify lists. PBS We also dig into Hollywood's troubles: a major production house has shut its doors, citing the industry's struggles. The business isn't just leaving California — it's leaving the country entirely. And finally, the great RANCH DRESSING crisis! World Cup fans LOVE it but can't get it on their planes home. Hot Dog on a Stick doesn't carry it, UPS is offering a "Ship n Dip," and Conway's doctor delivers a brutal verdict — "You're a mess!" Stick around, because we share the DIY ranch recipe so you'll never go without again. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
