Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.
Day 3 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way is a practice for calm under pressure. Today you'll learn a Samurai Breathing Technique—a steady, disciplined breath pattern designed to help you interrupt emotional reactivity, settle your nervous system, and return to clear focus when your mood starts to surge. This is the kind of practice you can use in real life: before a difficult conversation, when you feel rushed, or the moment you notice yourself spiraling. You'll leave this episode feeling more centered, composed, and in command of your response—quiet strength, not forced positivity. Featured technique: Samurai Breathing Technique (a structured breath pattern for steadiness) Best for: stress spikes, irritability, anxious overthinking, emotional overwhelm, scattered focus Takeaway: You don't need perfect conditions to feel steady—you need a practiced return. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Mastering Your Moods—a meditation series designed to help you stop feeling at the mercy of your emotions and start feeling steady, clear, and in charge of how you respond. Moods can shift fast—one message, one memory, one stressful moment—and suddenly you're anxious, irritated, heavy, or overwhelmed. In this series, you'll learn how to work with your nervous system instead of against it, using simple daily practices that help you regulate in real time—so you can come back to yourself without spiraling, snapping, or shutting down. This isn't about pretending you're fine; it's about building emotional skill: noticing what you feel, understanding what's underneath it, and shifting your state with calm, practical tools you can actually use in your real life. This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, "Mood Mastery: From Reactive to Regulated," episodes 3043-3049. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Mushin (No Mind) Quest Musashi was known to advocate for the concept of mushin, or "no-mind," in combat. It involves acting without conscious thought, free from hesitation, fear, or distraction. By training himself to enter into a state of mushin during duels and battles, Musashi could maintain emotional equilibrium and react instinctively to his opponents' movements. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: Focus Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "I embrace both light and shadow with equanimity." Day 3: Hara Breath: Inhale deeply through the nose, allowing the belly to expand. Exhale fully through the mouth, drawing the navel towards the spine. This technique promotes relaxation, stability, and groundedness Day 4: Diamond mudra for focus Day 5: Second Chakra to flow with change Day 6: Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7: Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

In this solocast I talk about allowing and accepting from your partner is one of the most powerful yet underappreciated ingredients in building a strong, lasting committed relationship. Couples who practice accepting influence experience; less gridlock, fewer escalating conflicts, greater emotional safety and trust, better co-parenting, and higher overall happiness and relationship satisfaction to name a few the positive benefits. I share practical ways to do this. Related Content: Other Podcast Episodes Managing Expectations in Relationships HeartShare: Expressing Needs Let's Talk About It!

Dr. Read Montague, PhD, is a professor and director of the Center for Human Neuroscience Research at Virginia Tech and an expert in how dopamine and serotonin shape human learning, motivation and decision-making. We discuss how they impact focused effort in the context of short- and long-term goals of all kinds. Also, how SSRIs and low-effort, high-engagement activities reduce the rewarding properties of dopamine, and how AI algorithms are revolutionizing understanding of the brain.

Daisy Beagle catches a new scent on the breeze and follows it through the Ahway Island Forest. What will the curious dog find?
In Day 2 of Mood Mastery the Samurai Way, inspired by the steady-minded wisdom of Miyamoto Musashi, you'll practice emotional balance through a single powerful affirmation: "I embrace both light and shadow with equanimity." This episode helps you stop fighting your feelings and start meeting them with calm presence—so a tough mood doesn't derail your day and a good mood doesn't make you fear what comes next. You'll be guided to hold both confidence and vulnerability, clarity and uncertainty, without tipping into reactivity or self-judgment. Leave this practice feeling more centered, grounded, and quietly strong—like you can face whatever arises and stay steady within yourself. Featured technique: Affirmation for equanimity Best for: mood swings, overthinking, emotional reactivity, self-criticism, feeling "too much" Takeaway: You don't have to control your emotions to master them—you only need to meet them with steadiness.

So Much More: Creating Space for God (Lectio Divina and Scripture Meditation)
In this episode, Jodie Niznik, host of So Much More, leads you in a guided meditation to help you find renewed strength and hope using Isaiah 40:28-31. The passage was originally meant to encourage God’s people who were weary and wayward, and it also offers timeless truths and promises for us today. Here are 3 takeaways from this Meditation: Remember God's Everlasting Presence: Isaiah 40 reminds us that the Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. These timeless truths remind us of God's unceasing care and understanding, strengthening our hope in Him. Renew Your Strength: We all encounter times in our lives when we feel weary and weak. Isaiah 40 teaches us that God gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Through our hope in Him, our strength is renewed, allowing us to “soar on wings like eagles.” Rest in God's Understanding: God understands our weariness, weakness, and exhaustion even better than we do. In times of struggle, we can find solace in His knowing and loving presence, allowing His understanding to comfort and guide us.

The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. 29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.
Send us a textWhat if the life you're living right now is inviting you to slow down, listen deeper, and finally come home to yourself?In this powerful and soul-expanding episode of Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon sits with Ann Jonas for a deeply intentional conversation on self-reflection, spirituality, and the sacred connection between the human experience and the divine. This episode isn't just a discussion—it's an invitation. An invitation to pause, to breathe, and to remember who you are beneath the noise, the conditioning, and the expectations of the world.Together, Lira and Ann explore self-reflection as a gateway to healing—both within ourselves and in how we relate to others. They unpack the idea that we are constantly reflecting and being reflected, using metaphors like “walking disco balls,” Earth school, and the Matrix to illuminate how life's challenges, triggers, and moments of contraction are not punishments, but portals for growth and expansion. This conversation gently reminds us that resilience isn't about never falling—it's about choosing to rise again with awareness.The episode also dives deep into the contrast between religion and spirituality, examining how organized systems have shaped society while spirituality offers a direct, personal relationship with God, Source, and self. Ann speaks on sovereignty, choice, and alignment—encouraging listeners to move from fear-based living into heart-led awareness, where intuition becomes the true moral compass and presence becomes power.The experience culminates in a guided moment of self-reflection and meditation, creating space for listeners to reconnect with their inner light, soften into the present moment, and affirm their inherent worth. This episode serves as a reminder that healing doesn't require perfection—it begins with presence, curiosity, and the willingness to choose yourself again and again.If this conversation resonates, take it with you. Reflect on it. Sit with it. Let it meet you where you are. And if you feel called, share it with someone who might need a gentle reminder that they are not alone on their journey.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

Most people think aging starts with wrinkles, gray hair, or memory loss. It doesn't.Aging starts when your legs begin to weaken, long before you notice it.In this video, you'll learn why your leg muscles age faster than the rest of your body, how damaged mitochondria silently drain your strength, and why traditional solutions like exercise and protein stop working after 40.You'll also discover the one cellular process that controls muscle aging, why it shuts down with age, and how targeted support can turn it back on.Chapters00:00 – Why weakness is the first real sign of aging01:28 - Mitophagy and why it shuts down with age02:30 - Why exercise and protein won't help03:55 - The real problem doctors and trainers miss04:28 - The compound that turns mitophagy back on05:22 - Why most people can't produce it enough naturally05:40 - The gut bacteria problem explained06:09 - How researchers solved the bottleneck06:56 - Human studies and muscle strengthThank you to our sponsors! -IGNITON | Head over to Igniton.com and use code DAVE for an exclusive 15% off your first order.-AirDoctor | Go to https://airdoctorpro.com/daveasprey and save up to $300 on Air Purifiers.Resources: • Dave Asprey's Latest News | Go to https://daveasprey.com/ to join Inside Track today. • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/discount/dave15 • My Daily Supplements: SuppGrade Labs (15% Off) • Favorite Blue Light Blocking Glasses: TrueDark (15% Off) • Dave Asprey's BEYOND Conference: https://beyondconference.com • Dave Asprey's New Book – Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated • Upgrade Collective: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen: https://40yearsofzen.com Connect with Dave Asprey!Website: https://daveasprey.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daveaspreyofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.asprey/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Daveaspreyofficial/X: https://x.com/daveaspreyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/daveaspreybprThe Human Upgrade Podcast: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheHumanUpgradePodcast/ Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/Thehumanupgrade/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I address the listeners who may feel exhausted from their efforts—those who have meditated, journaled, and engaged with various practices yet still feel a nagging sense of incompleteness. This conversation is about acknowledging that fatigue and giving space to the part of you that feels worn down by the journey.I draw on the wisdom of poet Mary Oliver, who beautifully states, "You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves." This quote encapsulates the essence of today's reflection: the importance of recognizing the different types of exhaustion we face. There's the fatigue that stems from deep suffering and another, subtler kind that arises from continuous self-improvement efforts. Processing these can be exhausting, especially when practices intended to soothe can instead feel burdensome and lead to feelings of failure.It's crucial to emphasize that feeling worn out from healing is not indicative of personal shortcomings. This understanding can provide significant relief to those grappling with chronic emotional distress, where healing can be a lengthy and often taxing endeavour. I acknowledge that for some, the pathway to healing may appear smooth and straightforward, resembling a quick guide from A to B. Yet for others, the journey necessitates traversing through various challenges before reaching their goals. In this episode, I stand alongside those who feel the weight of healing fatigue, affirming that such feelings are valid and real.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast #HealingFatigue #AnxietyRecovery #MentalHealthAwareness #NervousSystemRegulation #SelfCareBurnout #GinaRyan #MaryOliver #Mindfulness #RestIsProductive #ChronicStress #InnerPeace #HealingJourney #EmotionalWellbeing #MentalRest #SelfCompassion #OvercomingAnxiety #BurnoutRecovery #GentleHealing #SoftAnimalOfYourBody #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.
Mastering Your Moods is a guided meditation series for anyone who wants more emotional balance, resilience, and inner peace. Each episode offers a simple, supportive practice to help you regulate stress, calm anxiety, release irritability, and move through heavy emotions without getting stuck. You'll learn practical tools—breathwork, mindfulness, visualization, and nervous-system-based techniques—to shift your mood and return to steadiness in minutes. If you're ready to feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally in control, this series will help you create a calmer inner life—one day at a time. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to Mastering Your Moods—a meditation series designed to help you stop feeling at the mercy of your emotions and start feeling steady, clear, and in charge of how you respond. Moods can shift fast—one message, one memory, one stressful moment—and suddenly you're anxious, irritated, heavy, or overwhelmed. In this series, you'll learn how to work with your nervous system instead of against it, using simple daily practices that help you regulate in real time—so you can come back to yourself without spiraling, snapping, or shutting down. This isn't about pretending you're fine; it's about building emotional skill: noticing what you feel, understanding what's underneath it, and shifting your state with calm, practical tools you can actually use in your real life. This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, "Mood Mastery: From Reactive to Regulated," episodes 3043-3049. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Mushin (No Mind) Quest Musashi was known to advocate for the concept of mushin, or "no-mind," in combat. It involves acting without conscious thought, free from hesitation, fear, or distraction. By training himself to enter into a state of mushin during duels and battles, Musashi could maintain emotional equilibrium and react instinctively to his opponents' movements. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: Focus Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "I embrace both light and shadow with equanimity." Day 3: Hara Breath: Inhale deeply through the nose, allowing the belly to expand. Exhale fully through the mouth, drawing the navel towards the spine. This technique promotes relaxation, stability, and groundedness Day 4: Diamond mudra for focus Day 5: Second Chakra to flow with change Day 6: Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7: Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

840 The Cunning Serpent Opposes God, A Guided Christian Meditation on Genesis 3:1-3 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ. Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization. You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing. If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes. Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation: Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate, deflate. Scripture for Meditation NIV Genesis 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" 2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.'" NKJV 3 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" 2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.' " Reflection on Scripture: I think sometimes when we talk about life we longingly consider how good life would be if Adam and Eve didn't mess everything up. I have heard some commentary on Genesis that says the fall of Adam is not what God intended. I find this a confusing take. God prepared his saving plan since before the formation of the world. Satan did not defeat God on the first real opportunity to do so. Satan is always trying to mess up God's plan but evil will lose. God is sovereign and all powerful. He is the one who placed the tree of Good and Evil in the garden to begin with. He did not place it a thousand miles away. He placed it in the garden. The Forbidden fruit was from the Tree of Good an evil. When Satan comes tempting you, trying to be crafty and derail your plan. Turn away and turn to God, the true source of eternal knowledge of good and evil. He is the one that makes it possible for our eyes to be opened. He opens the eyes of the blind. He takes us from our weakness and teaches us how to love Him. He teaches us how to overcome our sin. He shows us the way back to the Father and it is only through Him. When you are tempted it may seem as though God's plan is breaking down. This is not a failure of God's plan. It is a fulfillment of it. God prepared salvation for you since before your birth and before the creation of the world. God will not fail you. God's plan is never derailed by difficulty. God's plan is never derailed by our sin. God's plan will never fail. That plan includes offering salvation to those who will trust on the holy name of Jesus. Trust in the one who never fails. Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?

Does your mind feel like a browser with too many tabs open? Are you stuck in a loop of replaying the past or rehearsing disasters for a future that hasn't happened?In this episode of Calming Anxiety, we tackle the exhaustion of Overthinking and Rumination. We often think we need to solve our thoughts to find peace, but the truth is we need to detach from them.In the next 10 minutes, you will learn:The "River Bank" Visualization: A powerful Cognitive Defusion technique where you learn to view your thoughts as leaves floating by, rather than jumping in to drown in them.The Physical Anchor: How to use a somatic "drop" to turn your body heavy like lead and instantly lower your stress response.Affirmations of Boundaries: Re-wiring your brain to understand that "You are the observer, not the absorbed."3 Caring Tips to Stop Spiraling: To keep you grounded in the real world, we cover three actionable tools:The Labeling Technique: How to break the spell of a sticky thought by simply naming it ("I am having a thought about...").The "Not Now" Shelf: A visualization to park your worries until 5 PM so you can focus on today.The 30-Second Unplug: Creating immediate physical distance from your phone to create mental distance from your stress.Break the Cycle of Anxiety Today Are you ready to stop the spiral? Join me in the Anxiety Circuit Breaker course, specifically designed to help you regain control and find your calm in just minutes. You can access the full course and take the first step toward a quieter mind by visiting calminganxiety.fm.Host: Martin (Clinical Hypnotherapist)

How you spend the first hour of your day sets the trajectory for everything that follows. This is known as the "Golden Hour." If you start your morning feeling rushed, reactive, or groggy, the rest of the day often feels chaotic. But if you start with intention, you become magnetic to success and ease.In this 10-minute guided session, we are doing more than just waking up; we are manually switching your mindset to "active".In this episode, we will cover:The Physical Wake-Up: Using deep, oxygenating breathwork to shake off sleep and invite fresh energy into the blood.The "Success" Visualization: A powerful technique to visualize three specific moments in your day going perfectly—from your morning coffee to closing your laptop with satisfaction.Affirmations of Capability: Rewiring your subconscious to choose ease over stress and flow over force.3 Daily Tips to Maintain Momentum: To keep this positive energy flowing long after the podcast ends, try these three techniques today:The Hydration Kickstart: Before your first coffee, drink a large glass of water. Your brain needs it to focus immediately.The "One Thing" Rule: Pick just one major thing you must achieve today and do it first. Everything else is a bonus. This stops overwhelm instantly.The Doorway Trigger: Every time you walk through a doorway today, stand tall and smile slightly. Use it as a signal to reset your posture and confidence.Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.Break the Cycle of Anxiety Today Are you ready to stop the spiral?
