It's complicated when love and medical expertise collide. In this deeply personal and heartfelt episode, I share the story of becoming a grandmother—twice over—to beautiful twin girls born at home. As a pediatrician, this choice was outside the guidance I was trained to give. Yet, it was fully aligned with my son and daughter-in-law's values. This experience, and others like it, have invited me into profound reflection on what it means to love fully while letting go of control. We explore how to navigate the emotional terrain of being a doctor when family members, adult children, aging parents, and siblings make health decisions that differ from our training or advice. This episode is a powerful guide for healthcare professionals who find themselves caught between the desire to protect and the practice of presence. Whether your expertise is welcomed or dismissed, this conversation is about staying connected, grounded, and compassionate, even when it's complicated. Pearls of Wisdom: Medical advice and love are not the same and withholding advice can sometimes be the most loving choice. Connection is medicine. Staying in a relationship often matters more than being "right." Your role in your family isn't to be "the doctor,"  AND  it's hard for our minds to step out of being "a doctor." When your medical expertise isn't invited or followed, your role is to love, connect, and stay present simply. Offering guidance is not always loving and sometimes withholding advice is the greater gift of compassion and trust. Mindfulness allows us to notice our urges to control, advise, or correct and choose connection instead. Letting go of being "right" opens space for peace, gratitude, and trust in both the medical process and our loved ones' autonomy. Cultural, generational, and spiritual influences often shape health decisions and awareness of these differences can invite compassion and curiosity. Practicing mindful boundaries in families allows for more ease, trust, and authenticity. Reflection Questions: Where do you feel the urge to protect, control, or advise and what is that urge trying to offer you? What might shift when you ask yourself: What would love do? What would trusting your loved one, or yourself, look like in this moment?   If this episode speaks to you, and/or you find yourself exhausted from being the expert in your family or navigating strained medical dynamics with those you love, I invite you to explore coaching or join me on retreat. Together, we can untangle the emotional weight of "doctoring" your loved ones and find a more easeful way forward: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats If you'd like to bring this conversation to your institution, team, or medical conference, I offer speaking and workshop opportunities that bring the themes of this episode—mindful connection, autonomy, and healing—into the workplace: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking To invite Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang to speak or lead mindfulness offerings, visit: www.awakenbreath.org Nothing shared in the Healing Medicine Podcast is medical advice.  

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Alisha Esmail from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada to unpack a founder truth most people avoid. Burnout is not a badge, it's a bottleneck. Alisha shares how burning out three times forced her to rebuild her business approach with stronger systems, clearer priorities, and a “harmony over balance” mindset. They break down her Five Tanks Framework (emotional, mental, physical, relational, spiritual) and a practical daily check-in to spot depletion before it snowballs. They also get real about using AI and automation to buy back time without losing the human edge. If you're building a company, leading a team, or just tired of the hustle narrative, this one is a clean reset. About the Guest: Alisha Esmail is a purpose-led founder behind one of Canada's recognized coffee brands and a builder working at the intersection of AI, human performance, and sustainability. She teaches founders how to reduce burnout through systems, clarity, and her Five Tanks Framework. Key Takeaways: Burnout repeats when recovery is treated like a break, not a redesign of how you operate. “Harmony” beats “balance”. Some seasons require intensity, but the system has to pay you back with time later. The line between healthy intensity and overextension is context. Most “emergencies” can wait till tomorrow. Use the “three cards” rule. Limit how often you pull people into after-hours work so you don't burn out the team. Five Tanks Framework is universal: emotional, mental, physical, relational, spiritual. The refill method can vary by personality and season. A fast daily audit works: draw five circles, label the tanks, score each 1 to 10, then act on the lowest tank first. Empty tanks show up as short temper, conflict, anxiety, spiraling thoughts, and feeling out of control. AI should not replace thinking. It should remove repetitive tasks so founders stay in strategy, creativity, and leadership. Practical AI win: rewrite intense messages to reduce conflict and prevent “emotional shrapnel” in relationships. Scarcity is not a reason to self-destruct. It can be a forcing function for creativity and smarter leverage. Clarity kills chaos: define your real end goal, then work backward instead of sprinting toward a vague “success.” Community Guidelines Check (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn): Not violating.

*Listener Discretion: This episode includes discussion of graphic violence and disturbing content. Some listeners may find it upsetting. Please take care while listening and consider skipping this episode if you are sensitive to these topics. In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, Charu sits down with Bernard “Chalky” White to unpack a resilience-first life story that goes from childhood abuse to policing to a bold midlife pivot into ski instructing and global travel. The core framework is brutally simple and weirdly powerful. Two questions that cut through procrastination, fear and regret: “What if I don't?” and “What if I do?” Chalky explains how those questions helped him resign from a career he'd grown to hate, rebuild his identity and keep moving forward even after witnessing traumatic events on the job. If you're stuck in a loop of overthinking, low confidence or “I'm too late” energy, this conversation is a practical mindset reset focused on action, courage and mental health. About the Guest: Bernard “Chalky” White is a former UK police officer turned long-time ski instructor and author. He shares lessons from adversity, career reinvention and his book Keep Chewing the Granite: How Two Questions Can Change Your Life, built around a decision-making method designed to replace regret with forward motion. Key Takeaways: Resilience is not a personality trait. It is a repeatable decision you practice when life feels heavy and your options look limited. The “What if I don't?” question exposes real costs. Regret, stagnation and staying stuck in a career or identity that drains you. The “What if I do?” question creates momentum. It turns fear into a plan and replaces avoidance with intentional action. Procrastination often hides clarity. Chalky knew what he wanted for years, then one honest night of questions forced a clean decision. Reinvention is allowed at any age. Starting skiing at 26 and building a decades-long path proves “late” is usually just a story. Trauma can shape you without owning you. Chalky acknowledges hard memories while choosing humor, meaning and forward progress. A strong mindset is not “positive vibes.” It is confronting consequences, choosing courage and doing the tough stuff anyway. Simple tools scale. Two questions can support mental health, career change, confidence and decision-making across business and life. When you feel stuck, ask better questions. Then take one small step that matches the answer you actually want to live.

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) are traumatic events that occur in childhood and affect your sense of safety. ACEs have been found to be higher in prevalence among those who struggle with food and body image. As the experience of safety diminishes, the likelihood of binge eating increases.This is why you can't shame yourself for your food behaviors. They are not your fault. You've been made to believe that your food choices are your decision and that if you can't “control” yourself with food, then that is your fault. Yet, this couldn't be further from the truth. Your food and body image behaviors are a response to how your body is digesting your life experiences, not something you're actively choosing or out of a lack of willpower, or self sabotage. In this week's episode, I chat with Rachel Hobbs, Clinical Dietitian, Personal Trainer and Certified Therapist about: A compassion centered focused approach to nutritionHow early childhood experiences affect your food interactionsThe role of shame in food behaviorsHow the nervous system and past trauma shapes food behaviorsSeeing nutrition through a more nuanced perspectiveYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/the-impact-of-food-trauma-on-your-eating-behaviorsI hope that this episode reminds you to meet yourself with compassion these next couple of weeks as you navigate friends, food, and family this holiday season. With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Rachel: Website: https://www.dietitianrachel.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dietitian.rachelhobbs/ Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu gets real about late-night cravings, emotional eating, and the binge-shame-repeat loop. Guest Nadege “Nan” Saysana breaks down why cravings often aren't about food at all, they're about unmet emotional needs like stress, loneliness, frustration, and overwhelm. You'll hear a practical framework for separating physical hunger from emotional urges, how habit loops get wired, and why “knowing the why” isn't enough without learning emotional regulation skills. Nan also shares her personal turning point after decades of binge cycles, plus a simple self-check method to reduce cravings intensity without restriction. If you struggle with binge eating at night, sugar cravings, stress eating, or food noise, this conversation is built to help you regain agency, without gimmicks, shame, or a fake 7-day fix. About the Guest: Nadege “Nan” Saysana helps people stop binge eating by addressing the emotional drivers behind cravings. Based in Paris, she teaches practical tools to build new coping habits, reduce food noise, and shift from self-judgment to self-awareness. Key Takeaways: Cravings feel physical, but if you've already eaten enough, the urge is often emotional, not hunger. “Comfort food” works like a short-term mood hack, then backfires with guilt, stress, and more urges. Many people were never taught emotional skills, so the brain defaults to external soothing like food, scrolling, or binge-watching. The goal isn't perfection. It's replacing the old habit loop with a new one that actually processes feelings. Curiosity beats shame. Treat urges like data. Ask: what emotion is driving this right now? Quick self-regulation practices like a self-hug style touch routine can lower craving intensity without restriction. Restriction can increase binge intensity over time, like a rubber band snap effect. Hormones and medications can amplify hunger. If emotional tools don't help, it's smart to consult a qualified clinician. Power shifts when you stop framing sugar as “in control” and start owning your choices and patterns. Progress looks like urges getting quieter, faster recovery after stress, and calmer decision-making around food.

When the news cycle is loud and life is already heavy, your nervous system pays the bill. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu talks with Andrea W LeDew, a former lawyer and mother of four, about turning political stress, grief and caregiver burnout into something usable through poetry, journaling and structured creative expression. Andrea shares how parenting a son with autism and intellectual disabilities, managing estate responsibilities after losing both parents and living through pandemic-era uncertainty pushed her toward writing as a mental health tool. The conversation also goes straight at the uncomfortable stuff. Emotional eating as coping, self-compassion vs self-sabotage, activism vs burnout and how to stay engaged without spiraling into rumination. Andrea's book Polemics: Political Poetry, Poems and Prose frames writing as survival and invites listeners to process big emotions without pretending the world is not on fire. About the Guest: Andrea W LeDew is a former lawyer turned stay-at-home mother of four and a writer focused on poetry and essays that explore political change, civic identity and emotional resilience. Her book Polemics: Political Poetry, Poems and Prosebrings together years of work shaped by grief, caregiving and public events. Key Takeaways: Political stress is real mental load. Naming it reduces shame and makes it workable for mental health and emotional well-being. Writing can function like therapy when it helps you feel, label and metabolize grief, rage and fear instead of suppressing them. Structure matters. Rhyme, form and constraints can keep expression honest without turning into endless rumination. Caregiver life adds chronic stress. If you are parenting autism or disability needs, coping tools must be realistic, not performative wellness. Comfort eating is common. The key line is habit. When coping becomes automatic daily behavior it shifts from self-compassion to self-sabotage. Activism can be healthier than hiding if it moves you from helplessness into values-based action and community connection. You can hold patriotism and critique at the same time. Reclaiming belonging should not erase marginalized experiences. Free speech and civic participation are not abstract. They are day-to-day practices that protect mental health through agency. “Touch grass” advice is incomplete. A better play is balanced inputs, boundaries on doomscrolling and intentional creative output. Your story is not finished. Creativity gives shape to chaos so it becomes something you can hold.

Can We Agree on What Skilled Mindfulness-Based Teaching Looks Like? Lessons from Studying the MBI:TACIn this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer and Dr. Rebecca Crane explore the Mindfulness-Based Interventions: Teaching Assessment Criteria (MBI:TAC), a widely used tool for assessing the competence of mindfulness-based program (MBP) teachers. As mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) gain popularity in clinical and workplace settings, ensuring teaching integrity and program fidelity becomes increasingly important. This study tested a training model to help mindfulness teachers reliably assess MBP teaching quality. The findings show that international MBP teachers can align their understanding of teaching competence, paving the way for standardized mindfulness education.

Step off the interstate and into a different kind of ride. We open with gratitude for a listener who reminded us that joy is a worthy destination, then point our front wheels toward the slower roads that reshape how we see, breathe, and connect. The smells change, the pace softens, and the world stops rushing past. That's where the ride becomes more than miles.Guided by William Least Heat-Moon's Blue Highways, we explore a simple rule that changes everything: skip the main highways and follow the quiet lines on the map. It's not about nostalgia; it's about attention. We talk through why motion calms the mind, how rhythmic travel acts like moving meditation, and why the most meaningful moments happen when the kickstand goes down and the helmet comes off. The real treasure isn't the scenery alone, but the people you meet when you choose to linger—waitresses with town histories, old-timers at gas pumps, and strangers with road tips you'll never find on an app.You'll hear a practical challenge to turn philosophy into practice: plan a highway‑free route, build in stops, and start one real conversation. Trade speed for presence and efficiency for curiosity. Whether you ride Colorado dirt or county lanes in Italy, this approach turns any afternoon into a story worth keeping. Along the way, we tackle the myth that the world is mostly unfriendly, and we make the case that kindness is common—you just have to leave room for it.If this resonates, share it with a rider who needs a calmer road, subscribe for more mindful moto stories, and tell us your name, where you're from, and what you ride. Your blue highway is out there—ready to find it with us?

Healing isn't a checkbox; it's a way of relating to what hurts. We sit down with Insight Meditation teacher and author Justin Michelson to explore a grounded path through stress, pain, and trauma that begins with self-compassion and widens into nature, lineage, and something larger than ourselves. Justin's website: JustinMichelsonDharma.comJustin's book: The Dharma of HealingFrom his first teen meditation class to hard-won lessons with overwhelming energies, Justin shares how he moved from striving to surrender—trading the warrior stance for a bow that restores safety and connection.We dive into a powerful framework he calls the four turnings of the wheel of healing: surface compassion for daily frictions, depth compassion for buried fear and grief, collective compassion for what family and culture seeded in us, and universal compassion that lets us rest in a benevolent field. Along the way, we unpack his striking metaphor of self-aversion as psychological autoimmunity—how our ancient impulse to pull away from pain turns inward and keeps wounds stuck—and how kind attention unwinds that loop. For listeners far from forests, Justin offers simple, sensory ways to let nature be a teacher: a patch of sun, a street tree, the feel of wind as a reminder that we're held by more than our thoughts.Justin also opens a window into his Native Foods Nursery, where tending edible native plants becomes a living practice of reciprocity and belonging. Teaching, for him, is shared practice—not perfection—where the goal is to help people remember their own inner wisdom and build resilience that can meet a turbulent world. If you've been craving practices that are practical, humane, and spacious enough for real life, this conversation offers a map and the companionship to walk it.If the episode resonates, share it with a friend who could use a gentler path forward, and leave a review so more people can find these practices.

Today, we're exploring the intersection of mystery and neuroscience, what Lara J. Day and I call Magic. And when I talk about magic, I don't mean illusion or fantasy. I mean the felt sense of aliveness that arises when we attune to the unseen layers of reality: synchronicities, symbols, and the subtle ways life communicates with us when we slow down enough to listen.To help us dive into the magic that opens specifically at this time of year, I invited a special guest: Lara J. Day, author of the 13 Sacred Nights Oracle and creator of Neurogenic Qigong. Lara is on a mission to reclaim the hyper-commercialized holidays and return the Soul to the Solstice.In this episode, we explore the 13 Sacred Nights ritual, an ancient winter solstice practice: what it is, how it works, and how its magic can shift the way your brain and nervous system perceive the world. Lara shares 17 years of personal experience with the practice, along with stories of synchronicity, prophetic dreams, animal symbolism, and why this ritual has become one of her greatest teachers in cultivating presence, awe, and deep attunement with the unseen world.If you want a more intentional, soulful way to envision and plant seeds for 2026, you'll want to listen before December 21st. Lara shares exactly how to prepare, what to expect, and how to work with the energies of each sacred night beginning on December 24th.Inside the Episode:(00:00) How do we define the experience of magic in everyday life?(03:32) Why magic is a natural neurobiological state(05:07) The origins of the 13 Sacred (aka Holy) Nights ritual(09:55) Solstice as the New Moon of the solar year(13:20) Understanding the practice and structure of the 13 Sacred Nights(20:32) Receiving and blueprinting your next year during the Sacred Nights(25:43) Symbolism of animal signs, dreams, and repeated Oracle cards(36:04) What it means to co-create with the future as a creator with agency(41:01) Darkness as a teacher and Sacred Nights as a nervous system reset(47:14) How to live with the practice throughout the year(52:40) Small structural habits to weave the sacred into daily life(56:05) Reclaiming holidays and rituals in modern lifeConnect with Lara J. Day:Lara has a one-year program coming up that kicks off with the Sacred Holy nights practice + a year of accountability and support to watch in community how each of our blueprints unfolds.

Does the month of December feel like a race you never signed up for? If your mind is obsessing over to-do lists and finances while your body feels tight, frozen, or exhausted, you are currently stuck in "urgency mode."You are not broken, and you are not failing—you are simply overstimulated.In this 10-minute guided somatic reset, we pause the holiday chaos to manually turn off your body's alarm switch.Using science-backed nervous system regulation techniques, we will move the energy of "rushing" out of your limbs and convince your brain that you are safe.In this session, you will learn:The Physiological Sigh: The fastest way to manually lower cortisol and slow a racing heart.Somatic Shaking: How to "flick away" urgency and complete the biological stress cycle.Oxytocin Release: A hand-on-heart technique to calm the amygdala and soothe self-esteem.Holiday Affirmations: Giving yourself permission to say "no" and realizing you have done enough.You cannot pour from an empty cup. By resetting your nervous system, you are actually helping everyone around you. Press play to reclaim your peace.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we stop treating self doubt like a mindset glitch and start seeing it as what it really is, an old protection system that has outlived its job description. Host Sana sits down with hypnotherapist, channel and former elite athletic coach Magdalena Lyle to unpack how childhood conditioning, family dynamics and hidden trauma program the subconscious to keep us small. From boardrooms to bodybuilding stages, Magdalena breaks down why so many high performers look confident on the outside yet quietly spiral in overthinking, imposter syndrome and perfectionism behind the scenes. If you are a founder, executive, athlete or ambitious professional who swings between “I've got this” and “Who do I think I am,” this conversation will give you a straight talking framework to understand your mind's protect and serve system, start reclaiming agency in your body and move toward decisions grounded in intuition instead of fear. This episode speaks to self doubt, leadership confidence, performance anxiety, trauma informed healing and nervous system regulation in real world language, not fluff. About the Guest: Magdalena Lyle is a Queensland based hypnotherapist, channel and mind body practitioner who started her career working with athletes and high performers on physical rigidity, then discovered their real constraints lived in the subconscious. Today she blends hypnotherapy, fascial stretch work and channelled guidance to help executives, entrepreneurs and athletes identify the childhood scripts running their self doubt, release stored tension in the body and rebuild trust in their own intuition. Her work is grounded, direct and focused on restoring personal agency rather than layering more affirmations on top of unresolved fear. Key Takeaways: Self doubt is not a character flaw, it is the mind's protect and serve system still following rules written by a younger, scared version of you. Childhood experiences, including “small” moments like being yelled at for spilling milk, can wire the subconscious to stay quiet, stay small or over perform to avoid judgment. Many executives and athletes wear confidence as a mask at work or on stage, while privately dealing with anxiety, overthinking, migraines, skin issues and emotional burnout. The body keeps score. Chronic tension in the jaw, shoulders or hips often signals a nervous system that has forgotten how to trust and relax, even when the mind says “I'm fine.” Hypnotherapy done through open questioning, not scripts, lets clients enter their own awareness, see the emotional “scene” behind the pattern and discover their own resources for change. Real leadership and performance strength come from integrating intuition, compassion and assertiveness so you are not two different people at work and at home.

Oliver Till, Artistic Director of Kansas City Ballet School, walks us through ChoreoLab, their unique summer program that pairs aspiring dancers with emerging choreographers. The program runs two tracks: Movers (dancers 17+) and Makers (choreographers 18-24). Instead of traditional technique classes, participants collaborate on original work, learning about lighting, costume design, and tech rehearsals along the way. The focus is on the creative process, not just the final product, with dancers exploring new movement styles they wouldn't encounter in standard training. Oliver explains the application process, including in-person auditions for dancers and portfolio-based selection for choreographers. He discusses why the program culminates in a ticketed performance to raise the stakes, and how they've incorporated mindfulness sessions to support mental well-being during the intensive creative process. If you're interested in choreography, want to understand how professional work gets made, or are looking for a summer program that goes beyond technique, this episode breaks down what makes ChoreoLab different.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  This episode, I've pulled together the best mental health advice from every guest I spoke to over the past year - academics, therapists, organisers, and people with lived experience. Each of them shared a personal habit or practice that genuinely helps them cope or keep on top of their wellbeing, and I add a couple of my own strategies too. Whether you're navigating hoarding, supporting someone who is, or just looking for affordable ways to protect your own mental health, stick around for a mix of practical, honest tips to try for yourself. Special Episode Format: Compilation of Guest Advice Throughout the year, every guest was asked about habits or practices supporting their mental health. Guest Contributions: Mental Health Habits and Practices Harriet Impey (Episode 172) Mindfulness and meditation, especially mindful self-compassion (inspired by Kristin Neff). Practical examples: Being present, guided meditation, practicing non-attachment, and self-reflection on letting go of unhelpful arguments. Dr Jan Eppingstall (Episodes 174 & 204) Practicing gratitude to counterbalance negativity bias. Unsubscribing from unwanted emails to reduce anxiety and overwhelm. Interacting with pets for grounding and emotional well-being - petting animals as a stress reliever. Visiting places where animals are accessible (e.g., city farms, pet shops, animal cafes). Jasmine Sleigh (Episode 175) Importance of good sleep for mental health. Value of pleasurable activities like reading, and the paradox of sometimes resisting enjoyable activities (self-sabotage). Reflection on how engaging in enjoyable pastimes is essential even when it's difficult to get started. Sam (Episode 178) Writing things down: Keeping lists of achievements and things to be grateful for, even small joys. Acknowledging how gratitude doesn't have to be grand - simple moments count. Exercise, particularly running, or any activity that gets you outside of your current headspace (could be walking, volunteering, etc.). The role of support from others to prompt new perspectives or activities. Dr. Victoria Ruby-Granger (Episode 179) Self-awareness and accepting what works for you, rather than trying to fit yourself to methods that don't suit. Emphasis on letting go of approaches that don't align with your own needs, and being open to alternative strategies. Carrie Lagerstedt (Episode 183) Moral neutrality: Separating self-worth from issues like executive dysfunction, lateness, and messiness. Reframing these traits as value-neutral rather than personal failings, helping to build self-esteem. That Hoarder Creative self-expression: Resentful journaling, collage, and visual arts—done primarily for personal expression, not for others' approval. Permission for creative works to be imperfect and focused on process over outcome. Nature connection: Getting outside, paying attention to natural details (flowers, leaves, colours, wildlife), and practicing mindful observation to foster grounding and perspective. Importance of self-compassion, giving oneself credit for small achievements (especially with meditation or walks). Allowing yourself pleasurable, nurturing, or healing activities without guilt. Noticing the bigger world and natural cycles as a counter to internal struggles. Encouragement for listeners to reflect on which practices resonate and to share their own tips.

Bhante Sathi explains that the five precepts existed before the Buddha and arose naturally from mindful communities recognizing their own desire for safety, well-being, and escape from harm. By understanding our instinct for self-preservation, we learn to extend that same respect and care to others, forming the foundations of ethical conduct. Ultimately, these precepts function as tools for inner growth, allowing us to cultivate mindfulness, responsibility, and freedom from self-created suffering.

Loneliness, Oneness, and Angelic Stillness: Pedro's Angel Stories & Miracles in Motion In today's episode, we begin with an angel message for those feeling lonely, unseen, or “too much” and then we welcome Pedro, a minister whose life has been shaped by powerful angel encounters, stillness, and surprising miracles (including a car that wouldn't go in reverse). Pedro shares his first childhood experience of yelling at God in a dark closet and suddenly being filled with radiant love, how he experiences angels as “pure thought,” and how that same felt sense of oneness has guided him into ministry, through financial uncertainty, and into unexpected opportunities. Together, we talk about stillness as the highest frequency, trusting that God uses everything (even pneumonia and broken cars), and how we can become channels of blessing for others. This conversation is tender, funny, and deeply spiritual especially if you've ever felt alone, worried about money, or unsure how God and the angels are moving in your life.

Joseph Goldstein responds to questions on spiritual craving, mental focus, and what it truly means to become aware of awareness.This time on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein mindfully explains:Bringing your daily life into your spiritual practiceMindfulness of seeing: focusing on the seeing itself rather than on what we are looking atResting in open, non-reactive spaciousnessThe cognizing power of emptiness and realizing that there is nothing to knowKeeping the mind steady and how concentration deepens insight Understanding both relative and ultimate reality Defining dukkha as the inevitability of unwanted experiencesHow to not waste suffering: taking an interest in the shadows of our own minds Having agency over our own minds during difficult experiencesMindfulness of anger and other negative emotions This episode was originally published on Dharmaseed“How do I become aware of awareness? Where is it? How can I put my finger on it? When we realize that there's nothing to find, and yet the knowing is happening, then we relax back into the mystery of consciousness, and you're very aware of the capacity of the mind to know.” –Joseph GoldsteinSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
