Podcasts about mindful living

As someone who has officially (gulp) reached mid-life, I can say that despite some of the daunting realizations (I got old??) there are so many wonderful REVElations that occur. One of them being that we have a ton of learned wisdom to share. My guest this week, Katie Rose, wrote her most recent book, Yoni Codes: Reclaim the Power to Heal, by taking inventory of her life and sharing the ways she had found to heal, grow, and persevere. Katie Rose is a yoga teacher, Ayurvedic educator, and author based in Sydney, Australia. Over the past 30 years she has taught and mentored thousands of women, published several books, and built a global community of over 28,000. Her book grew from her own experiences of trauma and healing, and explores how women can access their own codes of power through Ayurveda, ritual, and goddess archetypes. At its heart, it's about how when we heal ourselves, we heal lineages — and how reclaiming the feminine can bring profound change.On this guest episode, Katie shares about how the yoni is both a physical and spiritual gateway and how she sees modern women reclaiming this sacred power in everyday life. She also speaks to how her book blends yoga philosophy, Ayurveda, and personal storytelling and why she wove these threads together as well as the recurring wounds & themes she noticed after working with thousands of women through Bhakti Rose. Together we discuss why women's communities and circles are so powerful for healing, how ancient practices like Ayurveda and yoga support trauma recovery, & the importance of women speaking uncensored truths.Bio:Katie Rose is a yoga teacher, ayurveda guide, doula and author with over 25 years of experience in the world of wellness. She holds accreditation with both Yoga Alliance and Yoga Australia as a registered experienced yoga teacher and teacher trainer with many thousands of teaching hours under her belt.Katie was the manager of the prestigious TriYoga centre in London before moving to Sydney and opening Samadhi Yoga in 2004 followed by Jivamukti Yoga Sydney which at its peak was a four-studio business and is still a thriving community today.Her popular online courses have helped hundreds of women from all over the world in empower themselves.She is the founder and host of the annual Bhakti Women Online Yoga Summit and the author of several internationally available books including ‘Mindful Living' (Rockpool Publishing) and ‘The Yoga of Birth'. Most recently she authored 'Trust Life, Trust Yourself, Find Peace' (published by Affirm Press) and 'Yoni Codes' which was an Amazon Number 1 bestseller.Katie helps women go from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to living a life that is vibrant, creative and abundant. She lives in Sydney, Australia with her five children in a loud and busy household full of family.Book: www.bhaktirose.com.au/yonicodesbookAbout: www.bhaktirose.com.au/about

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:We're mastering business, money, and personal growth — but why does business success often mean that high-achievers feel empty in love?We live in a world that glorifies hustle and independence. Myself included, many of us believe there is a reward for doing everything on our own. Meet Suzanne Raja, co-founder of WarriorSage, who looks at what happens when success comes at the cost of our connection to ourselves and our partner and family.In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, Suzanne explores what it means to be powerful and feminine — to lead without losing softness, to love without surrendering yourself, and to rediscover the intimacy that gets buried under achievement.On whether or not you or your partner is the more successful one, success often means friction in our relationships. This conversation will open your eyes to what's really missing.

In this powerful and inspiring episode of the Free to Be Mindful Podcast, Vanessa De Jesus Guzman sits down with Chicago-based boudoir photographer Liz Hansen to explore how boudoir photography can become more than just beautiful photos - it can be an act of healing, empowerment, and self-love.As women, we often see our flaws before our beauty and dismiss our worth before celebrating it. But what happens when we flip that script? Liz shares how boudoir photography helps women rediscover their confidence, reconnect with their bodies, and reclaim their stories - especially for survivors of trauma, mothers navigating body changes, and women learning to embrace themselves at every stage of life.This episode ties deeply into Domestic Violence Awareness Month, reminding us that appreciating yourself isn't vanity… it's resilience.EPISODE DESCRIPTIONHow boudoir photography empowers women to celebrate themselves beyond societal expectationsThe connection between self-image, healing, and confidenceWhy body neutrality - not forced positivity - creates lasting peace with your bodyHow moments of self-expression can spark emotional recovery and transformationWays women can reframe their inner dialogue from self-criticism to gratitudeTUNE IN TO LEARNThe deeper meaning behind boudoir photography and how it supports emotional healingHow to overcome the “I'll do it when…” mindset and embrace the body you have nowSimple mindset shifts to move from I hate my body to I have a bodyHow mindfulness and gratitude help build confidence and body acceptanceTips for finding a safe, inclusive, and empowering boudoir photographerTAKEAWAY MESSAGEWhen we choose to see ourselves fully—to celebrate our strength, softness, and story—we step into true empowerment.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my journey as an Inner Child Healer—and how I help people recognize and mend the emotional wounds that often begin in childhood but quietly shape our adult lives.I've learned that when pain isn't healed, the wounded child within us grows into a hurting adult—and sometimes, without realizing it, we project that pain onto others, continuing patterns of generational trauma.In this conversation, I share: • How unhealed childhood wounds show up in our behavior and relationships • Why denial can keep us stuck in unspoken pain • The role of a safe, nurturing home in emotional healing • How awareness and compassion can break generational cycles • Simple steps you can take to start reconnecting with your inner child todayMy message is simple yet profound: Healing yourself isn't selfish—it's how we stop passing pain forward.Join me in this episode to understand your inner child, heal your past, and begin creating a kinder, more conscious future. You can also connect with me on Instagram for healing sessions and daily reflections.Support the showStay Connected with Vandana Light Healing :✨ Website: vandanalighthealing.com YouTube: @VandanaLightHealing Facebook: VandanaLightHealing Podcast: Hope & Healing LinkedIn: Vandana Atara Noorah Instagram: @vandana_light_healing Amazon Author: Vandana Atara Noorah

A grounded conversation on practical mindfulness, plant-based living, and the inner work that sustains holistic health. Dr. Will Tuttle—author of The World Peace Diet and former Zen monk—connects compassion, food choices, and creative practice to personal and planetary well-being. Dr. Crystal T. Harrell—resilience expert and Yale-trained public health scholar—traces her path from early loss and anxiety to mindful embodiment through walking meditation, presence, and self-knowledge. We keep it pragmatic: how to make consciousness visible in daily routines (even dishwashing), why “inner authority” matters more than external voices, and what one principle can reset your health today.   About the Guests:   Dr. Will Tuttle — Visionary pianist, former Zen monk, and bestselling author of The World Peace Diet. Five decades teaching compassion, vegan ethics, and creative spirituality. Dr. Crystal T. Harrell — #1 bestselling author, resilience expert, and PhD in Public Health (Yale). Advocates mindfulness-based stress reduction, self-discovery, and accessible, embodied practices.   Key Takeaways: Mindfulness is the lever: bring awareness to food, thoughts, speech, purchases, and relationships to reduce harm and increase health. Plant-based living is framed as compassion in action—benefiting animals, ecosystems, and often human health—while challenging waste in industrial food systems. Meditation is not only seated stillness; walking, washing dishes, and careful movement can all be effective mindfulness practices. “Inner authority” beats outside noise: cultivate discernment through consistent practice rather than outsourcing well-being to trends. Creativity (music, writing) can be a contemplative path that integrates purpose with daily life. Trauma-informed mindfulness matters: gentle practices (e.g., walking without devices, sensory noticing) help re-inhabit the body. Self-knowledge is non-negotiable; choose practices that align with you (journaling, movement, silence) and do them with intention. Love is experiential: feeling loved grows as we practice being loving—even toward simple tasks and objects—training attention toward gratitude. One-principle reset: practice mindful attention today (to your meal, breath, or next conversation) and let every action radiate fewer harmful ripples. Holistic health is a way of being, not a checklist; it's how we relate to self, others, nature, and the unseen.   Connect with the Guests   Dr. Will Tuttle: Website & resources: worldpeacediet.com Books: The World Peace Diet, The World Peace Way Music, art, and events available on the website.   Dr. Crystal T.

In Ayurveda, digestion is never just about food, it's about how we process life itself. When our digestion is weak, the body feels heavy, the mind becomes clouded, and both physical toxins (ama) and mental toxins (mental ama) begin to accumulate. In this episode, Colette explores how poor digestion affects not only our physical health but also our emotional wellbeing, clarity, and self-confidence. You'll learn how the gut-mind connection works in Ayurveda, why unprocessed emotions weigh just as heavily as undigested food, and what practices help restore balance. We'll also look at how an Ayurvedic reset, including diet, awareness, and daily routine can help clear both physical and emotional heaviness, bringing you back to lightness, calm, and clarity. What you'll learn in this episode: How Ayurveda explains the gut-mind connection through the mano vaha srotas (the channel of the mind). The role of the subdoshas, Sadhaka Pitta, Prana Vayu, and Tarpaka Kapha in processing emotions and experiences. What mental ama is and how it impacts mood, memory, and self-confidence. The emotional imprint of poor digestion, why heaviness, irritability, or brain fog often follow sluggish digestion. How sattvic foods and routines promote clarity of mind while rajasic and tamasic influences create imbalance. Practical Ayurvedic guidelines for preventing the build-up of mental ama, from mindful eating and circadian rhythm to tuning inward and protecting your senses.

These aren't just walks; they're rituals of connection, moments of holistic healing that ground them and strengthen their bonds.Adah, with her bright mind and keen observations, adds another layer of richness to these family outings. Her perspective, combined with Grandpa Bill's wisdom and Jay's steady presence, creates a beautiful dynamic that reminds us all of the power of intergenerational connections. It's in these shared experiences, these traditions, that we truly understand where we come from and who we are.Grandpa Bill Asks: What family traditions, big or small, bring you the most peace, joy, or a sense of belonging? How do these moments contribute to your overall well-being?Jay "Kramden" reminds us that heroism isn't always about grand gestures; sometimes, it's in the consistent, kind, and dedicated way we show up for our communities and our families.

Grandpa Bill talks about Brain Gain focus as a super power to drive memory-recap of a formal workshop "Brain Armor" with Dr. Anthony MetivierIn a world drowning in digital noise and endless distraction, our most valuable asset—our focus—is under constant siege. We've become masters of "idle scrolling," a mindless, passive activity that promises connection but delivers only a fragmented, exhausted mind. The very device we hold in our hands, meant to be a tool for productivity and knowledge, has become a thief of our cognitive power.But what if you could reclaim that power? What if you could forge your focus into a superpower, not just for a fleeting moment, but as a core capability that drives a sharper memory and a more resilient mind? This is the essence of the A.R.M. Method, a framework for building "Brain Armor" strategies and exercises that transform your relationship with your own attention.A is for Awareness + Acceptance. The journey begins not with a new app or a complicated technique, but with radical honesty. We must first become aware of our current habits. Acknowledge the moments you reach for your phone out of boredom, the hours lost to social media feeds, the difficulty you have in staying present in a conversation or a task. This awareness isn't about judgment; it's about observation. Following awareness comes acceptance. Accept that this is where you are right now. Accept that your brain has been trained for distraction. This acceptance is the fertile ground from which real change can grow. Without it, you're fighting a shadow.R is for Response. Once you are aware and accepting, you are empowered to choose a different response. Instead of automatically reaching for your phone during a lull, what if you chose to notice your breath? Instead of letting your mind wander during a meeting, what if you brought it back gently to the speaker's words? This is where the Brain Armor exercises come in. These aren't just one-off tricks; they are intentional, repeatable actions designed to build new neural pathways. This could be a 5-minute meditation, a focused breathing exercise, or a single-tasking session where you dedicate your entire attention to one thing. The goal is to consciously override the old, automated response of distraction with a new, intentional one of focus.M is for Management. The final piece of the A.R.M. method is management. This is the ongoing, strategic maintenance of your mental state. It's about creating a lifestyle that supports focus and memory, rather than sabotaging it. This includes setting clear boundaries with technology (e.g., "phone-free" hours), building routines that prioritize deep work, and integrating practices that "relax all aspects of the mind." This isn't about being idle; it's about active, restorative rest. It's the difference between zoning out and consciously unwinding. Think of a mind that is well-managed as a sharp, finely-honed tool, not a dull, cluttered drawer.The A.R.M. Method is an antidote to the modern condition. It's a conscious choice to move from being a passive consumer of information to an active architect of your own mind. By embracing Awareness and Acceptance, choosing a new Response, and proactively Managing your mental well-being, you don't just fight distraction—you build a brain that is sharper, more resilient, and truly alive. This is the ultimate superpower, and it's within your reach.#TheARMmethod,#BrainArmor#FocusSuperpower#DigitalWellness,#MindfulLiving,#AttentionManagement,#MemoryBoost,#BeyondIdleScrolling,#ReclaimYourFocus,#CognitiveFitness,

Hogy vagy?”En: Today she arrived too, cheerful and spry: “Árpád! How are you?”Hu: „Jobban, köszönöm,” mondta Árpád, bár félszegen mosolygott.En: “Better, thank you,” said Árpád, although he smiled hesitantly.Hu: Enikő mellé telepedett, és ahogy a víz körülölelte őket, Árpád várt, majd mély levegőt vett.En: Enikő sat down next to him, and as the water enveloped them, Árpád waited, then took a deep breath.Hu: „Enikő... Gondolkodtam. Nem vagyok boldog a munkámmal.En: “Enikő... I've been thinking. I'm not happy with my job.Hu: Félek változtatni, de... kell valami más.”En: I'm afraid to change, but... I need something else.”Hu: Enikő bólintott, tudomásul véve a vallomást.En: Enikő nodded, acknowledging the confession.Hu: „Ez bátor dolog, Árpád. Az élet változás.En: “That's a brave thing, Árpád. Life is change.Hu: Mi lenne, ha azt csinálnád, amit igazán szeretsz?” kérdezte szemöldökráncolás nélkül, természetes egyszerűséggel.En: What if you did what you truly love?” she asked with natural simplicity, without a trace of frown.Hu: A fürdő meleg ölelésében, a párában lebegve, Árpád hirtelen tisztán érzett.En: In the warm embrace of the bath, floating in the steam, Árpád suddenly felt clear.Hu: Szívverése lassult, gondolatai elcsendesedtek.En: His heartbeat slowed, and his thoughts quieted.Hu: Látni kezdte az utat előtte.En: He began to see the path ahead.Hu: El kell fogadnia, hogy az élet a folyása, az áramlás, és ha beletörődve sodródik, talán boldogságra talál.En: He must accept that life is a flow, a current, and if he lets himself drift with it, he might find happiness.Hu: Később, amikor a vízből kilépett, a nap már lassan alászállt.En: Later, when he stepped out of the water, the sun was slowly descending.Hu: Árpád visszanézett az épületek között megcsillanó napfényre.En: Árpád looked back at the sunlight glinting between the buildings.Hu: Új ötletekkel, új céllal érzett izgalmat.En: With new ideas, he felt excitement for a new purpose.Hu: Most már tudta, hogy a változás nem a vég, csak az új kezdet.En: He now knew that change was not the end, just a new beginning.Hu: Árpád megértette, hogy eljött az ideje, hogy megváltoztassa életét egy új és boldogabb jövőért.En: Árpád understood that the time had come to change his life for a new and happier future.Hu: Amikor útnak indult a száradás után, tudta, hogy valami nagyot, valami igazán értékeset fog kezdeni.En: As he set out after drying, he knew he was about to start something big, something truly valuable.

Meet Baiba Wisse, a multi-passionate creative from Raleigh, North Carolina, who spent a decade in global talent acquisition before life handed her a plot twist: a layoff. While she was still working in recruiting, Baiba discovered her favorite part of the job wasn't the spreadsheets or the scheduling, it was the human connection. She loved coaching candidates, hearing their career stories, and helping people see their own potential.That passion inspired her to start her own podcast, The Career in Technicolor, where she interviews people about their career journeys in living color. But when the layoff hit, she found herself in that all-too-familiar “what now?” moment.Instead of sitting still (because that's not her style), Baiba leaned into her creative energy, painting, cooking, cleaning, and trying new things. She also followed her curiosity into movement and stress relief, recently earning her Tai Chi instructor certification. Now, she's on a mission to bring Tai Chi into corporate settings, helping teams manage stress, move more, and age well.I met Baiba early in my own podcasting journey, and we've been swapping ideas and cheering each other on ever since. She's been a generous supporter, a creative sounding board, and now I'm flipping the mic so you can hear her story.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How Baiba turned a layoff into an opportunity to explore new passions Why coaching and human connection were the most rewarding parts of her recruiting career The creative outlets that kept her moving forward during a career pivot How Tai Chi can help reduce stress and support well-being in and out of the workplace The joy (and challenges) of podcasting about other people's career journeysConnect with BaibaConnect with Baiba on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bwisse/ Listen to The Career in TechnicolorApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/career-in-technicolor/id1584835608Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/034sss7E8ncD5RewpqkwZJ Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/careerintechnicolor/  Thanks for tuning in to The Career Flipper!If this episode made you think, laugh, or feel a little braver about your own flip, do me a favor:

In a world filled with challenges—wars, layoffs, and economic uncertainty—we'll establish an inner refuge where we can temporarily set aside our concerns and simply be.We'll begin by consciously releasing our worries as we tune into our body, mind, and heart, acknowledging our current state without judgment.After resting in this space of refuge, we'll transition to practices of loving-kindness and compassion—first directed inward toward ourselves, then extending outward to all beings.May this practice bring you a sense of peace and renewal.PS: Introducing the…

In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, host Jim Ellermeyer and co-host Mike explore the difference between spirituality and organized religion and what it truly means to nurture your spirit. Together, they revisit the timeless teachings of Jesus, focusing on his central message of love, compassion, and self-discovery — a message that's often been overshadowed by societal control, rigid traditions, and centuries of interpretation. We'll discuss: • Why spirituality is about personal connection rather than institutional rules. • The two greatest commandments Jesus taught and why they free us from fear. • Insights from alternative gospels like Thomas and Mary Magdalene that emphasize the divine spark within. • How to embrace mindfulness, self-validation, and inner freedom in your daily life. Jim challenges us to see the divine within ourselves and others, and to choose kindness, forgiveness, and mindful living as a way of nurturing that spark.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to slip into negative thought patterns, even when you're actively working to maintain a positive mindset? That automatic default mode seems hardwired into our human experience, especially during stressful times.In this heartfelt exploration, I share my morning journal practice and the profound impact of developing what I call "the poet's eye" – a way of seeing that finds beauty and meaning in ordinary moments. This isn't about ignoring life's challenges or pretending everything is perfect. Rather, it's about training ourselves to notice the sacred in the everyday, to appreciate the small miracles unfolding around us, and to actively author our own life stories instead of passively accepting whatever narrative unfolds.I share an original, unpublished poem straight from my journal – a raw, unpolished offering about finding appreciation when "the world is affixed in gritty grays." The poem emerged organically during my morning reflection, a gentle reminder that creativity often arrives when we create space for it. Through this personal sharing, we explore how qualities like authenticity, self-empathy, and peace can become intentional anchors during challenging weeks.Perhaps most importantly, we redefine what peace actually means. Rather than waiting for external circumstances to become peaceful (which rarely happens!), we discover how to cultivate inner stillness regardless of outer chaos. Peace becomes not a destination but a practice – finding harmony within the disharmony, stillness within movement, and grace within imperfection. Join me in this intimate conversation about becoming relentless beauty-seekers and compassionate storytellers of our own lives.

In this enlightening episode of "Father and Joe", hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey delve into the pervasive issue of distractions that challenge our personal focus and spiritual growth in today's hyper-connected world. They explore how instant accessibility, through technology like smartphones and emails, has amplified our vulnerability to constant disruptions, pulling us away from our primary goals and weakening our relationships with ourselves, others, and God.Joe candidly shares a recent personal moment of distraction and links it to a broader cultural challenge where algorithms are designed to capture and fragment our attention. Father Boniface highlights the resulting context switching and energy loss, emphasizing the need for discipline and careful management of our task loads to maintain harmony and efficiency in both professional and personal spheres.The conversation then shifts to the deeper, often overlooked aspect of spiritual connection. Unlike the persistent pings from our digital devices, God's call is subtler, requiring intentional effort to hear amidst the noise. They discuss how cultivating a habit of unplugging from distractions can enhance our ability to listen to God and fortify our spiritual relationship. This episode illustrates how reordering our focus toward God not only enriches personal spirituality but also simplifies our lives, leading to more genuine, meaningful relationships with others.Father Boniface further enlightens us on how aligning ourselves with God's moral law serves as a loud guiding voice, akin to the orchestral harmony that can heal dissonance within our lives. By tuning into God's melody through disciplined practice and conscious effort, where minor virtues like integrity and love can echo through actions even in business practices, we can transform chaos into divine symphony.This episode is a call to action for listeners to embrace the challenge of reducing distractions and deepening their bond with the divine. Embrace the "risk" of living like Christ, they urge, with the promise of discovering a life full of realigned priorities, coherent relationships, and newfound peace.Join Father and Joe as they invite us all to explore the profound benefits of retuning the spiritual strings of our lives to align with the greater symphony that God orchestrates every day.Tags:spiritual growth, God, relationship with God, distractions, technology, focus, discipline, spirituality, personal growth, mindfulness, harmony, technology impact, digital detox, soul care, spiritual awakening, podcast, conversation, Father Boniface, Joe Rockey, daily life, union with God, church habits, modern challenges, divine guidance, mental clarity, inner peace, faith-based, Christian podcast, moral law, conscience, life balance, spiritual priorities, self-improvement, finding peace, life direction, personal development, faith journey, Christian life, God's will, multitasking, simplicity, sacred listening, authenticity, divine orderHashtags:#SpiritualGrowth, #RelationshipWithGod, #OvercomingDistractions, #FocusOnFaith, #Mindfulness, #GodFirst, #ChristianPodcast, #FaithJourney, #FaithBased, #DigitalDetox, #SoulCare, #InnerPeace, #SpiritualAwakening, #GodsWill, #LifeBalance, #FindingHarmony, #ModernChallenges, #DailyLife, #SelfImprovement, #SpiritualDirection, #FaithInFocus, #Simplicity, #SacredListening, #ChristianLife, #LifeDirection, #SoulGrowth, #DivineGuidance, #TechnologyImpact, #Multitasking, #ChristianFaith, #SpiritualPodcast, #MindfulLiving, #AuthenticFaith, #FindingPeace, #LifePurpose, #Clarity, #FaithCommunity, #LifeGoals, #FaithfulLivingThis line is here to correct the site's formatting error.

In this snippet from episode 185, you'll be inspired to embrace uncertainty rather than shy away from it. Kelly is joined by international best-selling author, minimalist pioneer, podcaster, top 25 blogger (ZenHabits.net), and father of six, Leo Babauta. Together, they explore how to live more authentically through a zen lifestyle and how stepping into the unknown can lead to deeper clarity and self-trust. Leo is currently on a mission to change 100 million lives through his uncertainty training program, The Fearless Living Academy, where he helps people who struggle with embracing uncertainty or being consistent in forming positive habits. In this discussion, Leo shares practical strategies to help you move toward uncertainty and take action despite the unknown, manage inner resistance, and rewrite the limiting stories in your mind by leaning into curiosity. He also explains how purpose often lies beyond your comfort zone and how staying in the familiar can hold you back from real growth. Be inspired to tap into what Leo calls the “layer of being” and start embracing the discovery that unfolds when you enter the unknown.

Their situation is not unique; many people experience similar feelings as they navigate their anxiety journey. I delve into the importance of trusting oneself, particularly in moments where decision-making feels paralyzing and anxiety seems insurmountable.Starting with the listener's expression of frustration—waking up feeling exhausted and anxious, despite attempts to find calm through meditation—I break down the message into manageable pieces. I underscore that a tough day, especially one fueled by a lack of restful sleep, is a reality many face. Instead of battling the day's challenges, I encourage embracing them, acknowledging fatigue while allowing anxiety to accompany us without letting it define our day.As the listener grapples with racing thoughts about the future, I draw attention to the futility of trying to force these thoughts away. It's more productive to foster curiosity about them and redirect focus to the present moment. By practicing mindfulness—whether through a simple breath or by engaging with our surroundings—we can ground ourselves in the now, freeing ourselves from the cyclic worry that anxiety often brings.#AnxietySupport, #SelfTrust, #Mindfulness, #StressRelief, #MentalWellness, #CopingSkills, #AnxietyHelp, #MindfulLiving, #PresentMoment, #EmotionalHealth, #PersonalGrowth, #InnerPeace, #HealingJourney, #SelfCare, #AnxietyRecovery, #Meditation, #Breathwork, #CognitiveBehavioralTherapy, #AcceptanceCommitmentTherapy, #WellbeingJourney, #AnxietyFree, #EmotionalRegulation, #OvercomingAnxiety, #AnxietyAwareness, #MentalHealthMatters #GinaRyan #ACP #AnxietyCoachesPodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When you're feeling stressed, burnt out, and anxious — when you're striving and achieving but still finding yourself persistently dissatisfied with life — you might start looking for answers beyond what's offered by contemporary self-help.One ancient philosophy that can cast light on the sources of and solutions to our seemingly modern dilemmas is Buddhism. If you've ever been intrigued by Buddhism but admittedly only have a vague sense of what it's all about, Brendan Barca — co-author of The Daily Buddhist: 366 Days of Mindful Living — will walk you through its foundational principles.We begin our conversation with how Buddhism is similar to and different from other ancient philosophies like Stoicism, and Brendan offers an accessible introduction to the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. In the second half of our conversation, we explore how Buddhist principles and practices can be applied to our everyday modern lives and help you deal with the anxiety created by living in an impermanent world, shift your perspective on daily challenges, and cultivate greater compassion and patience. We discuss different meditation methods, the real purpose of meditation, and how to get started with it as a beginner. We end our conversation with the Buddha's final words and what it means to “strive with vigilance.”Resources Related to the PodcastShamatha MeditationVipassana (Insight) MeditationTonglen MeditationAoM Article: A Primer on MeditationConnect With Brendan BarcaThe Daily Buddhist websiteThe Daily Buddhist on IG
