Today's podcast is a reflection on what goes beyond the words I share here. So much of what I say is about action. Getting the sleep and doing so consistently. Eating well. Hydrating well. Showing up to get the workouts in. Reflecting daily in a journal. Meditating consistently. These are all viral behaviors for me, and they offer a glimpse into the key way of being that comes from what I share, a foundation for living well during good times and bad. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
Most people dabble in meditation. I took a different path. For the last 22 years, I've meditated every single day—more than 10,000 times, without missing once.In this episode, I share the surprising lessons that came from that level of consistency. You'll hear why what people call a “monkey mind” is really just stress leaving the body, how to recognize your heart's voice with more clarity, and why you're never actually behind in life—you're always on divine time. I also open up about how meditation reshaped my relationship to other people's opinions, revealed the truth about soulmates, and helped me make faster, better decisions by choosing what expands me instead of what looks good on paper.These aren't hacks or clichés—they're hard-earned insights from sitting down, day after day, for more than two decades. If you've ever wondered what meditation can really do for you, this episode will give you an inside look.If you enjoyed this episode, you may also like:How to Get Meditation to Work for You5 Meditation Misconceptions that are making it HARDERWant to be more in alignment with your purpose?

Send us a textHow often do you sit with a cup of herbal tea and really feel the effects that it has in your body? And if you have experienced this, what did you notice? Traditionally, through many ancient cultures plants have been allies to humans. Meditating with plants and fostering relationship with plants can be a profound way to potentiate both the plants and the meditation practice.In this special episode of The Nourished Nervous System, I am thrilled to welcome David Crow, an expert in herbalism and classical Asian medicine. We dive into an enlightening conversation about the synergy between herbs and meditation, exploring how these practices can potentiate each other. I share my serendipitous journey with David, highlighting key moments that led to deep learning experiences. David elaborates on his path studying Acupuncture, Tibetan and Ayurvedic medicine and his practices in meditation. We discuss practical applications of herbs combined with meditation to enhance healing, introducing the concept of 'illuminated herbalism.' This conversation covers the profound relationship between mindfulness and herbal practices, and I wrap up with details on David's courses and resources for those interested in this integrative approach.In this episode:David Crow's Background and JourneyIntegrating Herbal Medicine and MeditationPractical Applications and Personal ExperiencesMindful Tea Drinking: Unlocking Hidden DimensionsThe Power of Attention in Herbal PotencyUsing Herbs to Enhance Yoga Nidra and MeditationDirecting Herbal Effects with Focused AttentionPractical Applications: Herbs for Different SystemsExploring the Unity of Breath and PlantsConnect with David:WebsiteInstagramFacebookIlluminated Herbalism CourseShop with all courses and booksMy resources:Weekend Nervous System Reset Deep Rest MeditationNourished For Resilience Workbook Book a free Exploratory CallFind me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

1. Introduction and Context * Purpose of the Podcast/Discussion * Association with "Superhuman Selling" and Elyse Archer * Speaker's (Brandon Handley's) role: Running a men's mastermind * Current theme: "Grounding the Leap" 2. Understanding the "Leap" and its Challenges * Definition of the "leap": A breakthrough, a new baseline, a significant shift. * The problem: Leaps can fade into memory without grounding. * The goal: Locking in the leap, stabilizing the "new you" to become the new baseline. * Breakthroughs are exciting but initially unstable. * The nervous system, mind, and body need time to adapt to the new state. 3. The "Being" vs. "Doing" Paradigm for Grounding * Common misconception: Securing a leap through more efforting, habits, and hustling. * The speaker's past experience: Stuck in the "doing more" mindset. * The key principle: 95-98% of locking a leap is "being," only 2-5% is "doing." * The importance of understanding what it means to "live in this new state." 4. The Union of Heart and Mind (Kokoro) * An ancient principle from other cultures. * Concept introduced: Union of heart and mind. * Historical influences: Alan Watts and the concept of "mushin." * The Japanese term: "Kokoro" (written with the character for heart). * Definition of Kokoro: The union of heart and mind, working as one, not in competition. * Western civilization's separation of heart and mind: * The head as the CEO. * The heart ignored or relegated to a passive role. * Consequences: Leaps don't stick, trying to live breakthroughs in the mind while ignoring the body and emotions. 5. Scientific Basis for Heart-Mind Connection * The heart's intelligence: Not just a blood pump. * Heart's neural network: Approximately 40,000 neurons. * Information flow: Heart sends more information to the brain than vice-versa. * Pre-cognitive reactions: The heart reacts milliseconds before conscious thought. * Research backing: Harvard, University of California, and others. * Implication: The body "feels" the terrain before the brain maps it. * Ignoring the heart/intuition leads to reverting to the old baseline. * Tuning into the heart and mind together makes the new terrain familiar. 6. Alignment and States of Being * The principle of "alignment first, action second." * Transition from "contraction" to "expansion." * Defining "contraction": * Physical sensations: Chest caving in, shallow breath, racing mind, heaviness. * Psychological association: The old baseline, fear of the unknown. * Defining "expansion": * Physical sensations: Open chest, deep diaphragm breathing, relaxed shoulders, clear mind. * Psychological association: The new terrain, confidence in the new identity. * Leading with expansion allows "doing" to flow naturally. 7. Practical Exercise: Locking in the Leap * Purpose: To ground the leap in the present moment. * Step 1: Identify Contraction. * Think of things put off since the leap. * Feel bodily sensations of tightening (contraction). * Recognize this as the "old you" trying to keep you "safe." * Step 2: Imagine Expansion. * Visualize the desired outcome of the task being done. * Notice bodily sensations of opening and softening (expansion). * Recognize this as the leap being grounded. * Step 3: Future Action Protocol. * Do not act from contraction. * Pause, find expansion. * Then, move forward. 8. Reinforcing and Stabilizing the Leap * Keeping the leap "unshakable." * Training the mind to spot evidence of the leap. * Recognizing new responses vs. reactions. * "Proving the leap in real time" (Price Pritchett's concept). * Looking for proof while living it, not waiting for external validation. * Past leaps may have been unrecognized. * Opportunities appearing in unexpected ways ("ways that you know not of," referencing biblical phrasing). * "Trusting the unknown" (Price Pritchett's concept). * Recording and acknowledging this evidence in real time. 9. Anchoring the New Frequency (Heart-Mind Lock-In) * A guided breathing exercise. * Technique: Slow, easy breaths through the nose, belly expansion, shoulder softening. * Focus: Calling up the feeling of already living the leap and expansion. * Anchoring the feeling through bodily checks (shoulders, neck). * Establishing the new "home frequency" as living from expansion. 10. Making Choices for Stability * Every choice either stabilizes the leap or slides back to the baseline. * Key check-ins: * Feeling state: Contraction or expansion? * Heart and mind connection: Working together or split? * The power of choice: Choosing expansion, choosing Kokoro, choosing to live in the new state. 11. Invitation to Further Support and Community * Offering help with grounding leaps, experiencing leaps, and identifying leaps. * Mention of the "Superhuman Selling" mastermind. * Format: Bi-weekly, within groups and communities. * Benefits: Support from others and the opportunity to support them. * Concept: "A whole rising tide lifts all ships." * Call to action: Reach out and check it out. * Ultimate goal: Making leaps "sticky" and establishing them as the new baseline/reality.
Too often, we only hear about the curses of God's Laws. Yes, our people have suffered under those curses, but that's not the whole story. The Word of God promises that if we keep His statutes, commandments, and judgments, we will prosper in all that we do — not just in the Kingdom to come, but today.In this message, I share my personal testimony of how seeking God has brought me success, health, strength, and peace — and how turning away from Him brought the opposite. The Bible declares:“Keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways… that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself.” – 1 Kings 2:3 (KJV)God's Laws were given to us not just to warn us of curses but to usher us into blessings:Deuteronomy 28:1-3 – Obedience brings blessings in the city and in the country.Judith 5:21 – If there is no iniquity in us, our God will defend us.Joshua 1:8 – Meditating on His Law leads to good success.This is not just about ancient Israel — this is about you, today. Your wealth, your health, your strength, and your success all come from the Lord. His Laws were meant to make you prosper and keep you in perfect health.

This episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast is an excerpt from a talk given by Kriya Yoga Teacher Ryan Kurczak during the 2025 Kriya Yoga Online Solstice Retreat. The Discussion includes: Supportive Techniques from Chapter I: Sutras I.33–I.39 Patanjali offers auxiliary methods to stabilize the mind in Sutras I.33–I.39, forming a meditative ladder: I.33 – Cultivating attitudes of friendliness (toward the happy), compassion (toward the suffering), joy (toward the virtuous), and equanimity (toward the non-virtuous). I.34 – Focusing on the exhalation and natural pause of breath. I.35 – Meditating on subtle sensory experiences (such as inner energy or warmth). I.36 – Contemplating a state free from sorrow and full of inner light. I.37 – Meditating on the consciousness of one who is spiritually free. I.38 – Contemplating dream and deep sleep states. I.39 – Meditating on any object suitable to one's disposition. These are not arbitrary suggestions, but a progressive structure. For example, I.33 helps remove emotional and psychological obstacles; I.34–I.35 deepen bodily and energetic awareness; I.36–I.37 open the door to spiritual radiance and guru consciousness; I.38–I.39 reflect the ultimate flexibility and maturity of the practitioner. The Goal of Samadhi and Spiritual Evolution The culmination of sustained meditative practice is Samadhi, described not as an escape from the world but as union with reality. The deeper forms of samadhi signify the dissolution of ego and personal identity, allowing pure consciousness to shine through. As described in Sutra IV.33–IV.34, transformation is a transmutation of form, as the field of consciousness evolves from gross (human) to subtle (divine). This spiritual evolution requires the practitioner to surrender personal likes, dislikes, and egoic narratives—attaining Vairagya (detachment) and Abhyasa (consistent practice), referenced in Sutra I.12. -

In this episode we explore the concepts of the inward and outward facing paths. They are presented as different approaches in various traditions that, if pursued to their core, eventually arrive at a direct experience of a unified life. • Includes a guided meditation that extends the ancient neti neti practice of excluding all concepts of what you conceive yourself to be, and then re-including all so-called outer experience, thereby seeing that all is awareness and not separate from your true self. Short phrases to help you get a handle on the inward and outward facing paths: Nothing you can name or conceive of is awareness. Nothing you could name or conceive of is not awareness. Meditating with your eyes closed and looking within at awareness, and meditating with your eyes open and looking at the world as awareness. “Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two my life flows.” ― Nisargadatta Maharaj The song Jonathan mentioned in this episode is “Impermanence” by John Astin: https://music.apple.com/us/song/impermanence/72793994 Don't forget to subscribe for more ingenious ways to tap into the ever-present stillness and joy of our true nature.

Meditation is a key discipline that helps get God's truth into our "innermost being" (Psalm 51:6). It means that we actively and intentionally engage with the Scripture as we seek to understand what it means and how we are to carefully put into practice what we learn.

Meditating on the Lord Jesus Christ is a high privilege of the Christian. It strengthens his faith, deepens his love, and calibrates his hope. The Lord Jesus Christ is the One in whom we, by the power of the Spirit, see the glory of the Father. This week we take time not to pursue another aspect of Christian living, or another profile from church history, but to think about 'God the only Son, who is at the Father's side' (John 1:18).

It can often feel like healing should look a certain way. Meditating, journaling, saying your affirmations—these are surely all factors of the healing process. But what happens when you know you need to dig deeper, but can’t figure out how? Sometimes healing isn’t as aesthetic or straightforward as it looks online. It’s messy. It’s nonlinear. It’s showing up to do the hard work when you’d rather keep it light. Today I'm excited to have Devi Brown joining us again. Devi is a Well-Being Educator, Multidisciplinary Healer, author, and Host of the Deeply Well podcast. As the founder of Devi Brown Well-Being, she has dedicated her career to helping leaders, artists, and athletes navigate healing, self-discovery, and personal growth through mindfulness, spiritual psychology, and holistic wellness practices.
