Brought to you by Paranormal Underground Radio Episode Date: 6.30.2025 Hosts: Karen Frazier, Chuckie G, and Cheryl Knight-Wilson Show Summary: In this episode of “Mindful Mystics,” we get real about how to stay grounded when the world feels like it's falling apart. From breathwork and movement to shadow work and media boundaries, we share the coping strategies that keep us calm, present, and connected — even when chaos reigns. Whether it's tuning into nature, dancing in your living room, or letting off steam with a good scream (yes, really), we unpack what helps us weather anxiety, burnout, and spiritual fatigue with resilience and humor. You'll hear candid stories about personal stressors, universal wake-up calls, and why embracing joy in the midst of it all isn't just OK — it's essential. Check out our hosts online at: Paranormal Underground magazine: https://paranormalunderground.net/ Author and psychic medium Karen Frazier: https://www.authorkarenfrazier.com/#/ Paranormal Investigator and psychic medium Chuckie G: https://chuckieg.net/ Show Highlights: [02:49] Karen's Go-To Coping Strategy: Mindful Movement Karen shares her daily workout practices, including walking, hiking, yoga, and even bungee fitness. She explains how mindful movement helps release anxiety and reconnect with the body and spirit. [06:14] Breathing Techniques to Anchor Awareness Karen and Cheryl talk about different breathwork methods, such as box breathing and Ujjayi (ocean breath), showing how intentional breath can calm the nervous system and deepen body-mind connection. [15:23] Chuckie's 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding + Music Therapy Chuckie outlines the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique and explains how music — whether meditative or hardcore — can help process intense emotion and complete the stress cycle. [27:46] Karen on Systemic Upheaval + Why It's Happening For Us Karen reflects on why our societal structures feel so broken and offers a spiritual lens on global unrest, seeing it as the universe nudging us toward transformation. [31:27] Cheryl's No Doomscrolling Rule (and Why It Works) Cheryl talks about giving up her old habit of reading the news first thing in the morning, and how stepping back from her obsessive news media consumption helps her maintain emotional balance and regain a sense of control. [39:05] It's OK to Be Happy (Even in Chaos) The group discusses how it's not selfish to protect your peace, how law of attraction ties into stress cycles, and why finding moments of joy isn't denial — it's survival. [44:08] Naming the Fear + Shining Light on the Basement Demon Cheryl and Karen explain how naming emotions out loud activates the brain and lessens anxiety. Plus: a spooky metaphor about haunted basements, cats, and why scary things are scarier in the dark. [49:01] Final Thoughts: Be the Reed in the Wind You don't have to fight every storm. Sometimes, bending with the wind is the bravest thing you can do.
