Imagine gaining an edge in life not by force, but by knowing when to yield. Jeff Patterson, founder of Northwest Fighting Arts and Portland Tai Chi Academy, joins me to discuss the art of yielding — an approach that uses awareness and adaptability as tools for strength.  Patterson explains that yielding isn't about giving in; it's about harnessing energy, refining focus, and applying strategy to achieve better results in everything from self-defense to personal growth. Physically, yielding can mean moving with an opponent's force rather than fighting it, a principle that gives martial artists a way to handle larger, stronger adversaries. But the concept reaches far beyond combat. Mental yielding can help us stay centered in daily life, using presence to navigate challenges and conflicts without escalating them. And emotional yielding can help us manage our reactions to stress, choosing thoughtful responses over automatic ones. So whether you're interested in martial arts, meditation, or simply looking to enhance your everyday mindset, this conversation reveals practical ways to cultivate balance and strength by yielding to, rather than resisting, life's pressures.

Jeff Patterson, author of The Yielding Warrior: Discovering the Secret Path to Unleashing Your True Potential, joins me for an insightful conversation about the power of yielding in all aspects of life. Jeff introduces the concept of yielding as a transformative strategy that goes beyond physicality to include mental and emotional realms. In our fast-paced world, learning to yield can help us create more intentional and harmonious relationships with ourselves and others. During this discussion, Jeff shares how the meditative arts serve as the foundation for yielding. He breaks down the practice into three pillars—physical, mental, and emotional yielding—each offering unique insights and benefits. Jeff also provides actionable advice for anyone curious about incorporating the meditative arts into their daily lives. Key Discussion Points The concept of yielding and how it differs from "giving up" or being weak. The three pillars of yielding: physical, mental, and emotional. How meditative practices improve sensitivity, awareness, and decision-making. The challenges of slowing down in a fast-paced world and integrating meditative practices. The role of consistency and having a "why" in building a sustainable meditative practice. The importance of finding a guide to personalize and deepen your meditation journey. Active practices like taking mindful breaths throughout the day to stay present.
