“Humans are born to be kind. They're born to love. It is part of our nature. … we're actually nurturing a capacity that is part of the nature of who we are as human beings to begin with.” — Dr. Richie DavidsonDr. Richie Davidson's research has revolutionized the way we understand the brain and how plastic and malleable or changeable the brain is. Just like we train our physical bodies and go to the gym, he and his team at the Center for Healthy Minds have shown that we need to train our brains and work them out as well. As a result, he is changing the way we understand well being—to think of it as a skill—something we do and practice as active agents of our own well being.His research can give us a whole new appreciation of Christian contemplative practices or disciplines. Although we can't control all that happens around us or to us, we do have some control on how we respond, merging helpful insight with concrete practices that make a difference for our minds, so that we can become more regulated, peaceful, receptive, open, and even more trusting. Not just so that our personal well being increases, but so that we become more engaged in thriving humans that contribute to a flourishing world.In this bountiful conversation with Richie Davidson, we discuss:Two kinds of learning—declarative and procedural—that need to be integrated in order to cultivate mental and spiritual healthThe four pillars of a healthy mind: awareness, connection, insight, and purposeHow to cultivate a mindset for healthy relational connectionHow to understand the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and how this impacts our well-being and spiritual healthThe over-emphasis (even approaching hype) on mindfulness that seems to be present in our cultureWhat a healthy approach to meditation might be in our spiritual livesThe science and spirituality of love and compassionAbout Richie DavidsonDr. Richie Davidson is a pioneer in contemplative neuroscience, and does cutting edge research on the neuro-correlates of emotion and meditation. He's also the founder of the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin Madison, where he's the William James Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry.Show NotesCheck out the Healthy Minds App (free!)Learn more about the Center for Healthy MindsScience intersecting with spiritual experience“I've always considered spiritual experience to be part of the human repertoire. I think that humans are born to touch into those qualities that we come to label spiritual because it is within our capacity to have experiences that in many ways we can say go beyond ourselves, connect us to something larger.”Richie's experience with the Dalai LamaThe neuroscience of kindness and compassionThe development of the Center for Healthy Minds: “to cultivate wellbeing and relieve suffering through a scientific understanding of the mind.”Learning to approach thriving and well being as a skillTwo kinds of learning: declarative and proceduralBrain plasticity and well beingWell being requires practice!Declarative learning, e.g., learning the value of kindness or honesty. This won't make you kinder or more honest, though.Procedural learning— a skills-based roadmap, complementary to declarative learning.Mental hygieneThe four pillars of wellbeing: awareness, connection, insight, and purposeInsight: changing the narrative and changing the relationship to the narrativeSelf-esteemFinding your true north in lifeNurturing our capacity for compassion and kindness“Humans are born to be kind. They're born to love. It is part of our nature. … we're actually nurturing a capacity that is part of the nature of who we are as human beings to begin with.”The power of appreciationCultivating a sentiment that others would be relieved of their sufferingLovingkindness meditation that moves from a person who's easy to love to others, including those who might be very hard to love“An elixer for the soul” … to “regain our humanity”MEDITATIVE PRACTICE for connection: Richie Davidson leads listeners through a meditative exercise to send love and wish for that person's healing and relief of suffering.Comparing to Christian intercessory prayerExploring the pillars of awareness and insightThe default network or default modeResearch on depression and cognitive behavioral therapy“What does that mean: ‘I am sad.'”“The narrative we carry around acts as a filter.”Developing a healthy relationship with the narrative we have about ourselves“A lot of people I think don't even recognize that they have a narrative. … And that the narrative is actually powerfully guiding their behavior and experience in the world.”Mary Helen Immordino Yang on meaning making and the default network.The default network is almost always about ourselves.The connectivity in our brains can change.MEDITATIVE PRACTICE for awareness and insight: Richie Davidson leads through an exercise to imagine a different approach to a challenging personal situation. “Can you imagine a different set of beliefs or expectations?“Let's see if we can envision how things might be different.”Understanding purposeCultivating rituals that connect us to purposeWhat are the pitfalls that lurk near the practice of mindfulness or meditative practices for cultivating the skill of well being.Blaming the victim.“The best form of meditation is the form of meditation that you actually do.”A gap in the scientific study of love and compassion.Vivek Murthy: “an epic struggle between the forces of love and the forces of fear.”What is thriving to you?“From my perspective, I would say thriving is nurturing all of the innate capacities that we've been given. And here, the four pillars of wellbeing in our framework are critical, awareness, connection, insight, and purpose. And I think when we are expressing these qualities to their maximum, we are thriving by definition. And I would say perhaps the most important manifestation of that is our capacity to both receive and to express love.”Pam's takeaways“We have a robust and glorious agency to cultivate our personal well being.”“Transformation comes from the integration of declarative and procedural learning.”“We have the power to shift our relational experiences to more loving places that align with our deepest values.”“Discerning and articulating your purpose will keep you grounded and directed in your journey towards spiritual health.”“Perfect love casts out fear.” (1 John 4:18) About the Thrive CenterLearn more at thethrivecenter.org.Follow us on Instagram @thrivecenterFollow us on X @thrivecenterFollow us on LinkedIn @thethrivecenterAbout Dr. Pam KingDr. Pam King is Executive Director the Thrive Center and is Peter L.

Your Destiny CallsThis week, McKay invites listeners to join him in exploring the concept of destiny, and how it is a precious gift available to each and every one of us. Seizing this opportunity here today, our learned host encourages us all to believe in our destiny as a powerful catalyst for transformation that offers a pathway to a more purpose-driven and fulfilling existence.McKay begins by delving deeply into the life of James Garfield, the 20th President of the United States, examining how destiny played a pivotal role in his remarkable story, and goes on to explore themes of resilience, self-belief, and the profound impact of embracing one's destiny. From a life-altering accident to finding purpose and success, this episode demonstrates that recognizing and embracing your destiny can rewrite the script of your life. The episode also underscores that age is no barrier to realizing your destiny, citing inspiring stories of such notable individuals as Tiger Woods, Julie Andrews, and Nelson Mandela, who discovered their destinies at various stages in life. As McKay urges, do not let your opportunity pass you by—know that your destiny is well within your reach, understand that it might just be the driving force you need to transform your life, and take steps today to make it a reality.Episode Highlights:The concept of destiny and how it shapes our livesSome examples of the role destiny has played in people's livesThe power of believing in one's destiny and the potential for transformationDestiny unveiled in the midst of adversityThe power of words in shaping destinyAge is no barrier to destinyYour destiny awaitsQuotes:"Providence only could have saved my life,' he wrote years later, struggling to understand all that had happened to him in the intervening years. ‘Providence, therefore, thinks I am worth saving.'""When you give yourself to that feeling, to that destiny, you will find you. It will enrich and bring more meaning into your life.""But every day, in every walk of life, ordinary people do extraordinary things. You have a destiny, and you are extraordinary.""Regardless of our poor choices or mistakes or our past, we can change and choose the path that leads to our destiny.""There are men and women who make the world better just by being the kind of people they are.""Don't say, ‘I'm too old.'

Do you ever find yourself feeling like you're never enough? Like your inner critics or “judges” are holding you back from self-acceptance and connection? In this episode of From Survivor to Thriver, we sat down with James “J.” Stamatelos to talk about this feeling of anxious insecurity and the transformative power of self-compassion. Join us as we explore the idea of becoming the conductor of your own life and what anxious insecurity, vulnerability, and internal family systems really mean and how they can either work for us or against us.James “J.” Stamatelos is a professional coach who helps people break out of fear so they can share their gifts with the world. His work focuses on “anxious insecurity” - a chronic feeling of being "not enough" regardless of how much we achieve. He personally fought this battle, has spent a decade helping those who fight it now, and focuses on evidence-based and data-informed interventions.  Before becoming a coach, J. worked in counterterrorism and emergency response. He specializes in working with men, previously ran the only secular men's group in Pittsburgh, and believes many of our struggles come back to men being unable to process their emotions in a healthy way.  In today's episode we cover: How anxious insecurity can show up in your lifeThe cycle of feeling like you're never enoughThe coping mechanisms we use to cope with anxious insecurityThe sense of belonging we all yearn forThe power of internal family systems when working with self-criticsHow your inner self-critic is actually trying to protect youHow we can become the conductors of our own livesThe role of vulnerability in anxious insecurityYour relationship with yourself sets the foundation for everything elseLearning to show yourself kindness and loveThe environment that lets human thriveWe hope you enjoyed our conversation with J.!

It is an incredible thing to suppose that a person could rise from the dead, even if his friends said they saw Christ.""Many of us doubt what others do not doubt. Some people believe that they will live after death, just like Jesus did. But others doubt if this is real.""Being willing to go and do removes doubt in our life. We get to see and feel with our own eyes the more we show up.""Affirmations widen our span of attention. They deepen our strength or resolve.""Before you doubt anything, doubt your doubts.""Sometimes we have to place faith in, and not doubt, the words that parents, leaders, and God speak to us.""Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will."Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/

It's not the car, the promotion or the relationship we really want – it's the happiness we believe we will derive from it. But what if the very act of seeking happiness is exactly what is stopping us from experiencing true happiness?That is the essence of this week's conversation with Peter Crone. He calls himself the Mind Architect, and he has twenty years of experience training and coaching elite athletes and world renowned artists – includingTom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.Peter says his work is not about solving problems, but about dissolving them. You see, the brain is a prediction making machine. So, it creates problems at the level of thought, and then goes about trying to solve the imagined problem at the very same level at which it has been created. As you hopefully can see, that's not a recipe for success.The answer lies in enquiring into the places where we appear not to be free, and questioning the reality of those assumptions. That is the nature of the game of life.In this episode:The paradox of working on yourself – seeking to ‘fix' yourself – until you realise there is nothing to work on or fixPeter's experience of true aloneless – after the death of both his parents when he was youngThe difference between pain and suffering – and how the latter only exists relative to the idea we have about ourselvesWorking with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman – and giving a snapshot into their livesThe difference between solving so-called problems and dissolving themThe relationship between inner freedom and effortless performanceThe game of life – shining light onto the areas ‘where we are not free'Radical responsibilityThe brain as a prediction machine, and the absurdity of how it creates problems and then tries to solve its own creationsStarting with love and acceptance for where you are now and the 'is-ness' of this momentWhat true happiness is the absence of the search for happiness meansReleasing resistance to what is NOWThe instantaneous nature of changePeter Crone's website: https://www.petercrone.com/MyTwitter: https://twitter.com/simonmundieInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-mundie-89379114/And for the 'Mundie on Monday' newsletter - featuring three of the best Life Lessons from four years and 200 of these conversations - head to simonmundie.com (where you can also drop me an email)Please do share this episode - it makes a big difference in helping people find this podcast.Thank you.

What does the menstrual cycle have to teach us - about the nature of ourselves, as well as the importance of living in a cyclic manner? On the latest episode I discuss this with Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, co-founders of the Red School, which is dedicated to restoring the power of the menstrual cycle and menopause.

https://www.bible.com/events/49084015 Church of the Nazarene - East Rock Living The Jesus Life: Part 5 Philippians 2:12-18 Living The Jesus Life This series is a part of our annual practice of spending time focusing on one book of the Bible. In this case, the study is of Philippians – the letter Paul wrote from a Roman prison to the church at Philippi, the first church Paul started in Eastern Europe (see Acts 16). The people at Philippi were facing the resistance of Rome but remained a vibrant community of faith. Philippians is a letter that speaks to living life as a disciple of Jesus in 2023. That's why we've entitled the series, 'Living the Jesus Life'. Today's focus is Philippians 2:12-18‭‭ Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬-‭13‬‬ Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Working out is hard- It's aches, it's pain, it takes longevity, and commitment. I wonder today, is that how you are viewing your journey with Christ- your salvation? Is that how you would describe your life within the Church Do you think of it as a workout- something that takes intentionality, that might involve pain or being uncomfortable at times. Or do you find yourself in the recliner today- thinking to yourself “Let go and let God”? For Paul- he saw the necessity that believers in Philippi put in the hard work of living the Jesus life Here's the truth for us this morning: Your salvation is something to be worked out! Will you? Will you commit to working it out? As we dive into this passage, I would like to answer 2 questions that impact how we read this text-The First and perhaps the most important thing we need to ask- Is Paul trying to say that we need to work to earn our salvation or that our right standing with God is something we have to earn? This is a great question that deserves a clear answer; No, that is not what He is saying. Our text today is not about earning salvation, it's about how to live out that calling- how to live the Jesus life, not how to find it. Second important question around this text: Is Paul talking about our personal salvation, how we live as individuals or is he talking about our life together as the church? This answer is a bit more complex: Yes and yes If you go home and begin to study this question on your own, you will find scholarship to support both views.It is quite easy to read this text and hear a very personal call to your own life. But, we must consider the context- Paul has been talking about unity, about their life together, addressing how they live out the Jesus life in community- All of this teaching has been towards their life together. With that context in mind, I don't think we can make this only about our personal relationship with the Lord, although that is part of it. So don't miss it- this is a text for US as a community of believers‭‭ Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬‬ Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, “Continue to work out your salvation” Work out is one Greek word: it means to achieve, to bring about, or to complete. It means to work out fully and thoroughly, to accomplish or achieve an end It's a term used of the activity of mining. Gold or silver deposits are beneath the ground, and we must mine them out, go after them to retrieve them. Remembering that salvation here doesn't refer to our justification or right standing before God- Paul is calling believers to work out their Jesus Life together- Remember he has just told them- No grumbling, no bickering, no self-serving. Paul is calling them to bring the work that God has done in them, out into their everyday lives, to their relationships with one another. And It's work. it's sometimes very hard. We are called to this life of obedience with “Fear and trembling” Believers are to live their lives with honor and respect for God-to hold him in reverence. Our obedience, is no light matter and its' not optional. We need to work this out, with awe and respect of the ONE who has called us- God himself. ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭13 ‬‬for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. How do you work out your salvation- in your own life- in the context of community?- It is God who works in you to do it. The word for works here is similar to the English word Energy It's God who energizes you, who equips and empowers you, to fulfill the life that he is calling you too.‭‭ Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬-‭16‬‬ Do everything readily and cheerfully—no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night so I'll have good cause to be proud of you on the day that Christ returns. You'll be living proof that I didn't go to all this work for nothing. Working out our Jesus life together directly affects our ability to fulfill our mission in the world. We teach our children to sing “This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine”. Paul is teaching all believers to shine their light so that a dark world may see the goodness of God. The apostle Paul knew that if his friends at Philippi would commit to the hard work, of working out their Jesus life together- they would be transformed and empowered by God, and effective in their mission together. The world around them would see something special about them- They would see the true light of God's love at work in their livesThe same is true for us today- Are you ready to work it out?
