Hoy realizaremos una practica para gestionar esa sensaciones que nos produce la dispersión mental ya sea en una practica de meditación o cualquier situación que hayamos pasado y mantengamos esa sensación en el cuerpo de manera continuada. De como gestionamos esta sensaciones hemos hablado ampliamente en el podcasts "651. Gestionar la sensación. Gestionar el cuerpo. Gestionar la disertación" En resumen: Lleva la atención a la sensación que queda en el cuerpo y deja que se pose sobre ella sin forzar. Encuentra su punto más dens y suelta sin esfuerzo, como abrir un puño. Si es muy intensa, acompaña con respiraciones hacia ese centro. Cuando el núcleo pierda densidad, deja que la atención se expanda al cuerpo entero. También es interesante saber: que la neurocientífica Jill Bolte Taylor documentó que una emoción generada, si no se alimenta con pensamiento adicional, dura en el cuerpo aproximadamente noventa segundos. Por eso la importancia de aprender a darse cuenta de nuestras dispersiones mentales y gestiónarlas.

Our dialogue delves into the intricacies of anxiety and the underlying emotions that often fuel it. I invite listeners to reflect on their relationship with anxiety and how to discern the subtle messages it communicates.A significant focus of our discussion is the Hidden Emotion Model—a technique I learned and refined during my training that unveils the repressed feelings driving anxiety. Dr. Burns eloquently explains how individuals, often conscientious and "nice," suppress emotions like fear, anger, and disappointment, which leads to heightened anxiety. By recognizing and articulating these hidden emotions, individuals can often alleviate their anxiety significantly. Dr. Burns shares a compelling vignette involving a man struggling with panic attacks after receiving unexpected news about parenthood. This example illustrates the necessity of acknowledging uncomfortable emotions to pave the way for healing.Our conversation also touches on the societal stigmas surrounding emotional expression, particularly for those who identify as "nice" people. Dr. Burns and I explore how mental health diagnostics can inadvertently contribute to feelings of shame and inadequacy among patients. It's a powerful reminder that many who battle anxiety face not only internal struggles but external societal pressures that may dictate how they should feel or behave.#Anxiety, #PanicAttacks, #MentalHealth, #CBT, #DrDavidBurns, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #FeelingGood, #FeelingGreat, #Psychology, #Mindfulness, #SelfHelp, #Recovery, #Wellness, #Healing, #StressRelief, #InnerPeace, #MentalWellness, #SelfCare, #Therapy, #Coaching, #EmotionalIntelligence, #NervousSystem, #OvercomingAnxiety, #PanicDisorder, #SocialAnxiety, #MentalHealthAwareness, #EndTheStigma, #GrowthMindset, #Authenticity, #Boundaries, #SelfLove, #IntrusiveThoughts, #OCD, #HealthAnxiety, #MindfulLiving, #Breathwork, #Meditation, #Zen, #Spirituality, #PersonalGrowth, #Resilience, #Empowerment, #HealthyMind, #AnxietyRelief, #StressManagement, #Psychotherapy, #Counseling, #WellnessJourney, #LifeCoaching, #MentalHealthMatters, #AnxietySupportSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're carrying a lot of emotion right now, but not much surprise, and that matters because surprise is what you feel when your system expects safety, predictability, and repair. In this episode, Vanessa Bennett, LMFT explores the difference between shock and recognition, how collective and generational trauma live in the body, and why so many women experience harm as familiarity rather than disbelief. We also name why “not all men” is so activating, how the “good guy” archetype can turn defensiveness into avoidance, and why allyship isn't enough anymore. The invitation now is intervention: choosing repair over exemption, and being willing to risk comfort and privilege to protect women and children.Additional ResourcesExplore: VanessaBennett.comBook: The Motherhood MythCommunity: Inner Compass CollectiveTraining: Inner Compass AcademyConnect with Inner CompassFollow on InstagramConnect with Vanessa Bennett:Follow on InstagramFollow on TikTokLearn more on SubstackConnect with Vanessa Bennett on LinkedInSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Art of Ubuntu—your layered practice day, designed to help everything you've learned this week become simple, usable, and real. In today's meditation, you'll gently combine the core techniques from earlier sessions—breath, mudra, grounding, and an Ubuntu affirmation—so you can settle your nervous system and return to connection in just a few minutes. This is a supportive practice for busy days or emotionally heavy moments, reminding you that belonging isn't something you have to chase—it's something you can return to, breath by breath, right where you are. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to The Art of Ubuntu—a meditation series inspired by the African philosophy that reminds us: "I am because we are." Ubuntu is the practice of remembering our shared humanity—especially in moments when life feels isolating, tense, or divided. It's not about being perfect or "nice." It's about choosing presence, dignity, and compassion—so you can feel more grounded in yourself while also feeling more connected to others. In this series, each meditation will help you strengthen the inner skills that make Ubuntu real in daily life: steadiness in your nervous system, warmth in your heart, and a clear sense of belonging. You'll explore what it means to offer kindness without self-abandonment, to set boundaries without losing your humanity, and to live with the quiet strength of community-minded love. Let this be your daily reminder that healing isn't only personal—it's relational—and your peace becomes even more powerful when it's shared. This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "Ubuntu Mindfulness: A Gentle Practice to Feel Less Alone" episodes 2572-2578.

Ever wish you could shift your whole mood in the time it takes to breathe twice? We share a simple, one‑minute practice designed for those edge moments—right after waking, before bed, ahead of meditation, or just before stepping into a tough conversation—when the mind spirals and the body tightens. Rather than force change, we start by noticing what's true: the climate of your thoughts, the texture of your breath, the tone of your body. That honest check‑in reduces reactivity and sets the stage for a kinder state.From there, we guide you to soften the breath, unhook from worried thinking, and orient to safety by remembering protections close at hand—friends, mentors, loving faces, the room you're in. This opens enough space to recognize a powerful fact: you're okay right now. With that foothold, we pivot into gratitude and contentment, calling up one or two things that spark real warmth. The shift isn't theoretical; it's felt as your shoulders drop and your chest eases.We then invite love into the mix. Bring to mind someone—or a pet—you care about, sense their appreciation for you, and notice your own warmth moving out to meet them. Finally, we weave peace, contentment, and love into one steady state, a homecoming you can carry. Two deeper breaths help these qualities sink in so you can walk through your day with a responsive mind instead of a reactive one. If you're ready to reclaim a minute and make it meaningful, press play, try the practice, and tell us how it changed the next hour.

Can you really build stress resilience, improve focus, and support recovery in just one minute a day? Yes! And no, you don't need a meditation cushion to do it. In this episode of Making Shift Happen, Coach Jen breaks down simple mindfulness practices for busy professionals, gravel cyclists, and mountain bikers who want better performance on and off the bike. If you've ever thought: “I'm bad at meditation,” “My mind won't stop racing,” or “I don't have time for mindfulness,” then this episode is for you. You'll learn how to incorporate one-minute mindfulness practices, breathing exercises, and somatic tools into your daily routine, including during rides, strength training, meals, and stressful workdays. Mindfulness isn't about clearing your mind; it's about building awareness. Fortunately, that same awareness builds resilience as an athlete. What You'll Learn in This Episode What mindfulness really is (and what it's not) Why you can't “do meditation wrong” How to manage stress with simple breathing techniques How mindfulness improves cycling performance and recovery How to build emotional resilience as a high-performing athlete Easy mindful eating strategies for athletes A powerful legs-up-the-wall recovery practice for better sleep How to reduce stress in one minute or less Mindfulness practice helps reduce stress among other things. Stress impacts your Heart rate variability (HRV), sleep quality, muscle recovery, cortisol levels, and decision-making under pressure (like on a race or bike course). For endurance athletes and strength-focused cyclists, stress management isn't optional; it directly impacts training consistency, power output, and long-term performance. So, by adding short, daily mindfulness exercises, you can help improve your focus during rides, enhance pacing awareness, support nervous system recovery, increase stress tolerance, and reduce reactive decision-making. This is one way you can take your performance and training to the next level. Check out these other relevant episodes: 241. From Mountain Bike trails to Mindfulness with Karen Jarchow 243.

Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. This special episode – the last of two question-and-response (Q&R) installments – marks the publication of the second book by Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach Jo Confino. Calm in the Storm: Zen Ways to Cultivate Stability in an Anxious World is intended to help readers meet the current polycrisis with love and stability, but also forcefulness and resilience. According to Plum Village tradition, Jo and Brother Phap Huu recorded two episodes responding to questions by listeners which connect to the book's themes. In this second part they answer questions on dealing with anxious thoughts, raising children in uncertain times, reacting to the anger of those around us, managing fears and hypochondria, and much more.

But what we have seen in some of the most impactful work is that, when people take the time to be still, to listen, and to embrace and hold feelings and emotions and these projects in a calm manner, they are able to direct, lead, and not be carried away with the force field of anxiety, of fear, of restlessness.” “Mindfulness is only true mindfulness if it’s generating love and compassion.” “We can say so many things about Buddhist history and Buddhist philosophy, but what the Buddha transmitted to us and really wanted was for us to ask the question, ‘How can I put these practices into daily life?'” “When everything is changing, the most important thing is to also know what needs to remain the same.” “Our mindfulness should not be a blockage to other people’s engagement with us – but, at the same time, we do have to have boundaries. We do have to have clarity.” “Mindfulness is to lead an ethical life. If you’re practicing mindfulness and you’re continuing to cause harm to the earth, to living beings, to yourself and your loved ones, maybe that is wrong mindfulness. As Thay said, ‘Is the burglar mindful?'”
Today's meditation focuses on the First Chakra (Root)—your foundation of safety, stability, and belonging. With gentle breath and grounding awareness, you'll reconnect to the steady support beneath you—your body, the earth, and the present moment—so you feel less scattered and more anchored in your day. This practice is especially supportive when you're feeling anxious, unsteady, or disconnected, reminding you that you don't have to carry life alone: you are part of something larger, and you are supported right where you stand. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to The Art of Ubuntu—a meditation series inspired by the African philosophy that reminds us: "I am because we are." Ubuntu is the practice of remembering our shared humanity—especially in moments when life feels isolating, tense, or divided. It's not about being perfect or "nice." It's about choosing presence, dignity, and compassion—so you can feel more grounded in yourself while also feeling more connected to others. In this series, each meditation will help you strengthen the inner skills that make Ubuntu real in daily life: steadiness in your nervous system, warmth in your heart, and a clear sense of belonging. You'll explore what it means to offer kindness without self-abandonment, to set boundaries without losing your humanity, and to live with the quiet strength of community-minded love. Let this be your daily reminder that healing isn't only personal—it's relational—and your peace becomes even more powerful when it's shared. This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "Ubuntu Mindfulness: A Gentle Practice to Feel Less Alone" episodes 2572-2578. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - CO-CREATOR QUEST Every day connect with the world around you in a meaningful way.

In this episode of Trail Runner Nation's Aging as an Athlete series, along with Krissy Moehl, we welcome elite ultrarunner and therapist Darcy Piceu for a thoughtful conversation about longevity in endurance sports. Drawing on more than two decades of racing at the highest level, Darcy explains that there is no "magic pill" for staying in the sport long term, emphasizing instead the importance of self-care, strength work, listening to the body, and adapting training as athletes age. The discussion explores the mental side of endurance, including acceptance of changing performance, learning to manage negative thoughts during long races, and developing the wisdom that comes from decades of experience. Darcy also shares how mindfulness and time in nature play a powerful role in both mental health and athletic performance, something she incorporates into her therapy practice. We reflect on the evolving identity of an athlete over time, balancing competitiveness with enjoyment, family life, and other pursuits beyond running. We highlight that staying in the sport for decades is less about chasing podiums and more about cultivating resilience, perspective, and a lasting love for the trail. Check out Darcy's Therapy practice, "Therapy in Action" or get in touch with her darcypq@gmail.com.

We all have something we keep saying we'll do — take the trip, write the book, make the call, start the business.In this episode, Molly explores why dreaming feels productive (dopamine loves anticipation), but behavior is what actually builds identity. She revisits cognitive dissonance, explains the Zeigarnik effect, and shares a personal story about choosing to prioritize travel in 2025 — and how taking action created momentum.The message is simple: movement builds evidence. Evidence builds identity.In This EpisodeWhy anticipation activates dopamineHow cognitive dissonance quietly reshapes identityWhy behavior resolves tension more than belief doesThe Zeigarnik effect and “open loops” in the brainWhy readiness often follows actionA personal example of turning “someday” travel into real plansKey TakeawaysThe brain builds identity from evidence, not intentionDreaming feels good, but action stabilizes the nervous systemOpen loops consume mental energyConfidence is built through movementYou don't need the whole plan — just the next visible stepBefore Monday rolls around, choose one thing you've been postponing and take one deliberate step toward it.Book it. Open it. Send it. Schedule it.Let your behavior do the convincing. ★ Support this podcast ★
In this powerful and educational episode, I sit down with Laura Brody, an advocate, educator, and person with albinism, to explore what albinism truly is and what it is not.We begin by breaking down what albinism is from a genetic perspective, clarifying common misconceptions and myths, and addressing the reality that albinism affects people of all races and ethnic backgrounds. Laura shares her lived experience navigating the world with albinism, including the discrimination and misunderstandings she has faced simply for looking different.We also discuss the critical health considerations for people with albinism, including:The importance of sun protectionWearing sunscreen and sunglassesIncreased risk of sunburn and skin cancer due to lack of melaninBeyond the medical and educational aspects, this conversation goes deeper into identity, resilience, and mindfulness. Laura explains how she blends education, mindfulness, and positive psychology to support well-being, belonging, and sustainable performance, especially for individuals with albinism and visible differences.We explore how mindfulness practices, especially self-talk and examining one's thoughts, can help people:Build a healthier relationship with their inner dialogueQuestion whether their thoughts are true or helpfulNavigate self-identity, difference, disability, and belongingThis episode is for anyone who wants to better understand albinism, challenge unconscious bias, or learn how mindfulness can support resilience and self-acceptance, whether you live with albinism or not.
If your movement plan only works when life is calm… that's not a plan. That's a fantasy.In this episode of Habits in the Wild, Dr. Stacy breaks down why traditional exercise rules fall apart in real life — and how to build a movement habit that actually survives stress, fatigue, hormones, and chaos.This isn't about perfect workouts or peak motivation. It's about protecting your identity as someone who moves, even when intensity isn't possible.You'll learn:Why most exercise plans fail outside of “perfect conditions”The difference between captivity movement and movement in the wildHow to release guilt around inconsistencyWhy any intentional movement countsWhat “Opportunities to Move” (OTMs) are — and how to use themReal-life, low-effort movement ideas that support sleep, digestion, mood, libido, and long-term fat lossHow consistency (not intensity) is the real secret to sustainable healthIf you've ever thought, “I was doing so well… and then life happened,” this episode is for you.✨ Key takeaway: If you can't do your workout, do your minimum movement deposit.
When someone hurts us or repeatedly creates conflict in our lives, we often hear the same advice online: “Cut them out.”Remove them. Block them. Never speak to them again.But cutting someone out doesn't always free us.Sometimes it only means that they still live in our thoughts — still triggering anger, resentment, and pain whenever we remember them.In this talk, we explore a deeper and more peaceful alternative: letting go.Letting go doesn't mean approving of harmful behavior.It doesn't mean allowing someone to control your life.And it doesn't mean you must keep someone close who brings chaos into your world.It means releasing the struggle to change them.It means allowing people to be who they are while protecting your own peace.It means leaving the door open without letting someone control the course of your life.In this podcast, we explore:• Why trying to change people often creates more conflict• The difference between cutting someone out and truly letting go• How acceptance can sometimes inspire change more than pressure• Why the “middle path” is often wiser than anger or indifference• How to love someone — even from a distance — without losing yourselfSometimes the most powerful thing we can do is stop fighting.When we release the need to control others, we free both them and ourselves.Love can remain.Peace can return.And life can move forward.If this message resonates with you, consider sharing it with someone who may need it.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Send a textIn this episode, Kristen sits down with Radhika, an integrative wellness mentor, yoga teacher, and meditation guide, to explore how ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and modern neuroscience can work together to help women regulate their nervous systems and come back to themselves. Radhika shares how growing up in India immersed in yoga philosophy and seasonal living shaped her approach, and how a season of corporate burnout and life transitions led her to this work. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that true wellbeing isn't about fixing yourself — it's about returning to your own inner wisdom.Guest Bio: Radhika is an integrative wellness mentor, yoga teacher, and meditation guide whose work blends Ayurvedic wisdom, yoga philosophy, and neuroscience to help women restore balance and reconnect to themselves. She is the author of the forthcoming book Radiant Rituals, due out late 2026.Key Takeaways:Rituals differ from habits in that they carry intentionality and signal safety to the nervous systemMorning rituals set the tone for how we show up for ourselves and others throughout the daySeasonal living is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to restore balance and circadian rhythmCaring for the physical body — especially digestion — often unlocks deeper emotional and spiritual layersSmall, sustainable shifts ("elevation over perfection") are more powerful than overhauling everything at onceIndividual wellbeing has a ripple effect on collective consciousnessResources & Links:Radhika's seasonal living courseRadhika's WebsiteInstagramResources:Free Masterclass: The Alchemy of the Perimenopause Portal Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

What questions are tugging at you right now, and how might exploring the answers help you live and perform with more clarity?We're back with a special edition of the Finding Mastery podcast: another Ask Me Anything episode, built from the deep, thoughtful questions submitted by our community.In this AMA, Michael Gervais is joined by Jeff Byers, former NFL player, Co-Founder and CEO of Momentous, and longtime friend of Finding Mastery. Jeff has built something very special with Momentous, a supplement company grounded in transparency and integrity in an industry that can be full of noise and misinformation. He often says trust is earned, and he takes that responsibility personally.His relentless approach to mastery, both for himself and for the team he's building at Momentous—makes him an ideal co-host to help Mike wrestle with questions across a wide range of topics… how to perform with more clarity, how to work skillfully with strong emotions, and how to build a life that feels aligned with what matters most.Key insights we explored:Shift from perfection to purpose… why “the constant pursuit of perfectionism” is a setup for burnout, and how purpose changes the whole frame.Downregulating the nervous system… practical ways to move from sympathetic “on” to parasympathetic “rest and digest,” including breath, gaze, laughter, touch, nature, and intentionally induced recovery.Anger and emotional skill… how to feel anger without outward harm or inward collapse, and why the goal is to build the capacity to be “unbothered.”Loneliness and connection… why loneliness can surge when you leave familiar people and routines, and how “time-boxing” the feeling can help you train it instead of letting it bleed through the entire day.Reflection when life is full… how to build a sustainable rhythm for inner work, from 90-second practices to scheduled retreats, and why scheduling and celebration matter. If you find yourself wrestling with perfectionism, emotional spillover, loneliness, or a life that won't slow down, this AMA is a strong reminder that mastery is trained—one choice, one practice, one reset at a time.__________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

After traumatic events or periods of elevated stress, the body may continue to hold onto its protective responses. Thus, even after a painful or difficult event has ended, we may continue to feel elevated heart rate or nervous system, a sense of high alert, or a persistent thought that something bad will happen. By resetting our stress response, we cultivate the release of old injuries and old stress responses, which in turn helps to cultivate a natural sleep cycle. In today's meditation, we reset our stress response. This podcast is made possible with great thanks to our subscribers on Patreon.

Today's practice features Dhyana Mudra—the classic meditation gesture of stillness, balance, and inner harmony (hands resting in the lap, one palm gently cradling the other, thumbs lightly touching). As you hold this mudra, you'll be guided to settle your nervous system, quiet mental noise, and return to a calm inner center—so you can feel more connected to yourself and to the world around you. This meditation is a gentle reminder that your presence matters: when you become steady within, you naturally bring steadiness into the spaces and relationships you touch.

What happens when you go seven full days without your phone?In this Real Men, Real Conversations episode, Jimmy shares what he learned after attending the Hoffman Process in California, where participants completely disconnect from technology for an entire week.No phone. No music. No TV. No digital distractions.The experience led to some surprising realizations about attention, silence, sleep, emotional clarity, and the real reason we reach for our phones so often.Jimmy talks about:• Why most men wake up already losing control of their day• How silence and solitude can unlock clarity and emotional release• The surprising truth about phone addiction• Why social media is a counterfeit version of real connection• And why spending time alone in nature may be one of the most powerful things you can do His biggest takeaway:We're not addicted to our phones. We're starving for real human connection.Jimmy challenges listeners to try a 24-hour digital detox and see what happens when you give yourself space to think, reflect, and reconnect with life.If you're a man looking for deeper connection, accountability, and growth, learn more about Jimmy's men's community, We Are The They, at: https://wattmovement.com
Send a textIn this powerful and deeply human conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with therapist, author, and conscious living guide Katherine Jansen-Byrkit to explore what it truly means to move from surviving life to living awake.Katherine shares her personal journey—from childhood trauma and a suicide attempt at 16 to a lifetime devoted to healing, meditation, and helping others reclaim their inner world. Drawing from her book River to Ocean: Living in the Flow of Wakefulness, she explains how our thoughts, bodies, relationships, and spiritual paths are deeply interconnected—and how ignoring any one of them keeps us stuck.This episode dives into meditation as a practical tool (not an escape), why most suffering comes after thought, how intrinsic worth differs from external success, and why true change requires integration—not just motivation. Joey and Katherine also unpack conscious relationships, healing trauma without labels defining us, and why curiosity may be the most underused skill in modern life.If you're searching for peace, clarity, or a deeper connection to yourself and others, this conversation offers grounded wisdom you can actually live.
