Free Guided Meditation for Calming Your Anxious Mind 10-Minute Body-Scan Meditation for AnxietyQuote:Do not try to ‘control' your anxiety. Accept it fully. Float through it. Let time pass.- Dr. Claire WeekesChapters0:26 Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast1:54 Understanding Social Anxiety Triggers8:20 Applying Dr. Weeks' Approach12:36 The Healing Process of Letting Time Pass14:31 Working with Anxiety Thoughts16:16 Steps for Gentle Exposure21:06 Strategies for Grounding in Moments of Anxiety22:23 Closing Thoughts and FarewellSummaryIn this episode, I explore the profound teachings of Dr. Claire Weekes, particularly her approach to managing anxiety through acceptance and mindfulness. Emphasizing the importance of not trying to control anxiety, I invite listeners to fully accept their feelings and “float through” the discomfort that arises. By allowing time to pass without resistance, we can gradually find our way back to a state of calm.I address a listener's question regarding intense social anxiety, specifically around interactions with men. This situation serves as a perfect example to illustrate how anxiety forms and operates in a familiar cycle of fear and avoidance. The listener described experiencing physical symptoms such as shortness of breath and panic at the sight of men, especially those she perceives as attractive. I reassure her and others in similar situations that these reactions stem from the nervous system's protective instincts, which are often rooted in past experiences rather than present threats.Understanding the anxiety loop is crucial in breaking free from these patterns. I explain how our bodies react to perceived threats, triggering a response that feeds into a feedback loop of fear where the mind interprets these physiological sensations negatively, leading to further anxiety. The key takeaway is that our reactions are habitual rather than indicative of real danger. We can learn to recognize this cycle and begin to reshape our responses over time.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #DrClaireWeeks, #AnxietyRecovery, #SocialAnxiety, #PanicAttacks, #Mindfulness, #MentalHealth, #Acceptance, #NervousSystem, #Grounding, #HealingJourney, #OvercomingFear, #SelfCare, #Floating, #AnxietyTips, #MentalWellness, #StressRelief, #ExposureTherapy, #InnerPeace, #Calm, #AnxietySupport, #Breathe, #MindsetShift, #Neuroplasticity, #Healing, #SelfCompassion, #WellnessPodcast, #AnxietyHelp, #PeaceOfMindSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this talk, Jogen explores why it has become so difficult to show up for one another in a culture of endless options and easy canceling. Through the lens of Zen practice, he examines social anxiety, the tendency to overextend ourselves, and the role of the critical mind in undermining commitment. By clarifying our obligations and affinities, learning to sit with discomfort, and ultimately living by vow rather than momentary feelings, the talk points toward a more grounded and reliable way of relating—one rooted in presence, honesty, and spiritual maturity. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode, I explore skillful concentration, the final aspect of the Eightfold Path, using a road trip analogy where concentration is like having steady hands on the wheel. I clarify that concentration is distinct from mindfulness, doesn't require hours of meditation, and is characterized by joy, not seriousness. I discuss the five hindrances—sensory desire, aversion, dullness, restlessness, and doubt—as obstacles to concentration, likening them to road hazards, and explain how to work with them by recognizing them as information. I also touch upon the jhanas as progressive states of concentration, from joy to equanimity, and offer practical advice on developing concentration by gradually increasing focus time, choosing an object of attention, and gently redirecting the mind when it wanders, emphasizing that concentration is a skill cultivated through consistent, gentle effort rather than force.Explore more at eightfoldpath.com: full transcripts, guided meditations, courses, and Noah AI, an AI you can chat with about any episode or teaching.

In this episode, I explore skillful mindfulness, the seventh aspect of the Eightfold Path, using analogies like a permanently attached camera and a train station to illustrate its core principles. I emphasize that mindfulness isn't about stopping thoughts but about developing the capacity to observe them without being swept away, akin to sitting on a bench and watching trains come and go. Key takeaways include understanding mindfulness as awareness, acceptance, and discernment, and recognizing its practical application in everyday transitions and tasks. This practice matters because it counters the constant demand for our attention, offering clarity and choice, ultimately allowing us to be more awake and responsive to our lives rather than living on autopilot.Explore more at eightfoldpath.com: full transcripts, guided meditations, courses, and Noah AI, an AI you can chat with about any episode or teaching.

If you're a high-achieving, career-driven person trying to balance work, training, and your health – but constantly feel distracted, tired, or inconsistent – this episode is for you. In today's modern, always-connected world, your brain is under constant stimulation from social media, notifications, work demands, and endless information. The result? Burnout, decision fatigue, and the feeling that you “just can't get it together.” But I am here to assure you that you don't have a motivation problem, you have an overstimulation problem. In this episode of Making Shift Happen, we break down how overstimulation impacts your focus, energy, and consistency, and how to reset your nervous system so you can show up for your health without forcing it.

n this talk, Hogen continues the series “Turning Problems into Wisdom,” exploring how challenges in everyday life can become opportunities for clarity and insight. Through a vivid story about a major septic system failure at the retreat center, he reflects on how calm attention, community cooperation, and practical action reveal the wisdom hidden within crisis. At the heart of the teaching is the Zen practice of “not knowing”—approaching life with curiosity, openness, and humility rather than fixed assumptions—allowing us to meet problems with creativity, equanimity, and a sense of wonder. ★ Support this podcast ★

What if the biggest barrier between you and your potential isn't talent - but a belief you've never questioned?Nir Eyal is a behavioral design expert and the bestselling author of Hooked, Indistractable, and his newest book, Beyond Belief. In this conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, he explores a deceptively powerful idea: that beliefs operate like the hidden software of the mind, shaping what we notice, what we feel, what we attempt, and what we assume is possible.At the center of the conversation is a problem most of us know very intimately: If we already know what to do, why don't we do it? Nir argues that motivation is not simply about knowing the right behavior or wanting the right outcome. Holding it all together is belief, the often invisible layer that determines whether we think change is possible, whether our effort is worth it, and whether we believe we are capable of following through.Nir breaks down the difference between facts, faith, and beliefs, and offers a compelling reframing: beliefs are not truths, they are tools. From there, he explores the difference between limiting beliefs and liberating beliefs, why the mind defaults toward safety and passivity, and how small acts of agency can begin to reshape what we think is available to us.Mike and Nir also dig into the relationship between pain and suffering, learned helplessness and hope, and the role interpretation plays in human performance. Along the way, they unpack how beliefs shape our attention, anticipation, and agency, and why changing a belief is often less about finding “the truth” and more about testing perspectives that better serve the life we want to live.This is a conversation about motivation, resilience, and the invisible architecture of our inner life. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated that insight alone isn't producing change, or curious about the mental filters shaping your performance, this one is for you. __________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

Sometimes life breaks your heart. Right now, the world is breaking most of our hearts. And if it isn't breaking your heart, you're not paying attention. But what does a broken heart have to do with the awakened state of mind? In this solo episode of The Road Home podcast, Ethan examine the two main aspects of our consciousness - thinking mind and feeling mind. Feeling mind might be better understood as our "Awakened Heart,"which is a not-quite-literal translation of the term Bodhicitta. Most of the time, when life or the world exposes our heart fully, we desperately want to turn away from that tenderness. Because a vulnerable heart hurts, it brings up all the specific ways we feel wounded by our past, and also by the world "out there." But our great power, and our genuine awakening, lies in turning toward Bodhicitta, or what Pema Chodron calls the "soft spot." Let's get into "soft spot," shall we? There's really no other choice in the end. Join Ethan for a very "heartfelt" episode of The Road Home this week.

Whitewater kayaking naturally pulls us into the present moment. When you're paddling a rapid, your senses sharpen, your mind clears, and you're fully focused on the line ahead. But what if you didn't have to wait for a rapid to access that state? In this solo episode of The Discomfort Zone Podcast, I share simple mindfulness and breathwork practices that help paddlers reset their nervous system, quiet negative self-talk, and stay calm and focused — both on the river and in everyday life. These practices come directly from Week 7 of the Mental Agility Mastery 8 Week Course, where participants train their ability to pause, reset, and respond skillfully when things don't go according to plan. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why paddling naturally creates a powerful mindfulness state • How mindfulness helps you reset after a mistake, swim, or missed line • The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise for returning to the present moment • Simple breathwork techniques to regulate your nervous system • How mindful movement strengthens confidence and focus One of the most powerful lessons from the river? Sometimes the most skillful move isn't paddling harder. It's embracing the pause.

In this talk, Jomon reflects on the first of Frank Ostaseski's Five Invitations—“Don't Wait”—and explores what death can teach us about living fully. Drawing on the Zen teaching Identity of Relative and Absolute (Sandokai), a traditional koan, and a meditation on the elements, the talk invites listeners to consider the constantly changing nature of body, mind, and world. Through contemplation of earth, water, fire, air, and space, we are reminded that we are not separate, solid selves but expressions of a larger unfolding reality—at once here and disappearing. ★ Support this podcast ★

Chelsea Willis is the kind of farmer who notices the frogs in the dahlias.She's the owner of Sweet Delilah Farm on Sauvie Island, just 15 minutes outside Portland, Oregon. But her path to farming wasn't traditional. With a background in psychology and youth counseling, Chelsea originally wanted to find a way to get young people out on the land, because she saw how much easier it was for them to open up when their hands were busy and their feet were in the dirt.Then a piece of land became available. And then another. The second one, a former lavender you-pick farm, she closed on in two and a half weeks. She'd never planned to buy property at that moment. But it felt right.Today, Sweet Delilah Farm is a space where community gathers. Chelsea hosts dahlia workshops, floral design classes, plant dye days, and end-of-season u-picks. She's growing over 88 varieties of sweet peas for seed production, tending close to 250 roses, and dreaming about bringing yoga and meditation back to the farm. For Chelsea, farming isn't just about production. It's about presence, connection, and leaving space for whatever needs to come up, whether that's a pest issue in the field or a conversation that needs to happen.If this episode stirs something in you, I'd love for you to share it with a fellow flower friend.

Her farm is home to workshops, intimate weddings, u-pick events, plant dye classes, and a beloved flower truck.

Ever notice how your best memories start to fade into the background until they feel ordinary? We flip that script with a guided mindfulness practice built around mental subtraction—the science-backed move of imagining your treasured moment never happened—so its value returns with force. Across just a few minutes, we help you settle the body, pick one meaningful event, and trace the unlikely chain of choices, timing, and support that brought it to life.We then walk through the near-misses: the unread email, the missed bus that didn't happen, the small yes you almost didn't say. That gentle counterfactual isn't about regret; it's about clarity. By seeing how easily the moment could have vanished, appreciation deepens. You'll explore the benefits that flowed from that turning point—friendships formed, skills unlocked, confidence grown—and give your nervous system space to actually feel gratitude rather than recite it. The approach blends simple somatic cues (relax the jaw, drop the shoulders, steady the belly breath) with cognitive reframing to shift attention from entitlement to awe.This session is ideal if you want a fast, effective reset that lasts longer than a quick affirmation. It's grounded in positive psychology and mindfulness research, sometimes called the George Bailey effect, and it's designed to be repeated with different memories throughout the week. By the end, you'll not only recall what happened—you'll sense how precious it is that it happened at all, and carry that recognition into your next conversation, choice, and breath.If this practice helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who could use a lift, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

Únete aquí a mi formación de estoicismo en Nirakara: https://nirakara.com/estoicismo Hoy es un honor para mí traerte una nueva conversación, y creo que es la quinta vez que viene al podcast, con el neurocientífico Gustavo Díez. Gustavo es Físico Teórico (Universidad Autónoma Madrid). Máster en Neurociencia (Universidad Autónoma Barcelona). Máster en Inteligencia Artificial (Universidad Politécnica Madrid). También es Investigador y profesor de Intervenciones basadas en Mindfulness y estilo de vida. Su labor docente como instructor y director de programas basados en mindfulness se combina con su labor como investigador en el instituto y laboratorio Nirakara, donde por cierto, imparto la tercera edición de una formación en directo de 8 semanas que hemos llamado “Estoicismo: las 4 virtudes desde la ciencia”, de la cual te dejo el enlace en las notas del episodio. Las líneas de investigación de Gustavo se centran en la interacción entre el cerebro y la dinámica cardíaca, intestinal y respiratoria, así como la implementación de técnicas basadas en inteligencia artificial para el estudio de marcadores biológicos. En este episodio hablamos sobre la relación profunda entre respiración, mente y sistema nervioso, y cómo algo tan simple como la forma en la que respiras puede influir en tu atención, tu memoria, tu ansiedad e incluso en la manera en la que piensas. A lo largo de la conversación exploramos qué dice la neurociencia actual sobre la respiración, cómo afecta a nuestros estados emocionales y por qué aprender a observarla puede convertirse en una herramienta poderosa para entender mejor nuestra mente.

So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more.

How can creativity, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence transform Gen Z mental health? In this powerful episode of Inner Voice – A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan (E445), Dr. Foojan sits down with creative director, artist, and youth mental health advocate Rafael McMaster, founder of Indivisible Arts, a Los Angeles–based nonprofit dedicated to helping teenagers develop emotional resilience, self-awareness, and inner strength through creativity and mindfulness practices. After a successful career as a Creative Executive at Creative Artists Agency, Rafael shifted his focus from the entertainment industry to youth empowerment and mental wellness. Through Indivisible Arts, he developed the groundbreaking Creative Wisdom Tools curriculum, which has been accepted as a California state-approved English curriculum. The program teaches students practical mental health tools, emotional regulation skills, mindfulness techniques, and creative expression. Rafael also shares insights from his new book, FundaMentalife Tools, a hands-on toolkit designed to help young people develop emotional intelligence, self-control, intention setting, radical acceptance, and visualization—essential skills for navigating today's fast-paced digital world. In this episode, Dr. foojan and Rafael explore how Gen Z can build mental resilience, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence through art, storytelling, journaling, and creative expression. Rafael explains how teaching young people to separate their identity from their thoughts can significantly improve confidence, reduce anxiety, and strengthen overall mental well-being. Through initiatives such as the Resin Creative Lab and the student-driven platform streamofconsciousness.life, teenagers are sharing authentic stories about how these tools have helped them overcome personal challenges and build stronger emotional foundations through peer-to-peer learning. Dr. Foojan and Rafael also discuss the urgent need for mental health education in schools and why traditional education systems often fail to equip students with the emotional and cognitive life skills they truly need. This inspiring conversation offers valuable insights for parents, educators, mental health professionals, and anyone passionate about empowering the next generation to thrive emotionally, mentally, and creatively.

After 20+ years of creating exclusively for educators, I'm expanding into some new creative spaces. In this podcast episode, I share the "why" behind my new YouTube channel ("So What Are We Doing Here?"), my Substack publication, my free guided meditations on Insight Timer, and some other fun new places to find me. I also talk about how my own work has shifted more toward adults, and why so much of what I've always talked about on this podcast (productivity, mindset, burnout, boundaries) goes way beyond the classroom. Then I get into something I've been wanting to demystify for a while: the restorative practices that are at the heart of my retreats. I break down what forest bathing, sound baths, and restorative yoga actually are, what the research says about why they work, and what it felt like to lead these sessions at my Books in the Wild retreat last month. I also make a case for planning your year around restorative practices instead of around work, and using the concept of "due season" to build intentional periods of rest into your calendar before the busyness fills it up. Truth for Teachers isn't going anywhere. But you're not JUST a teacher, and I want to create for ALL of you, not just the part of you standing in front of a classroom.
