Podcasts about Mindfulness

In this episode, I explore what death has to teach us about being fully alive, prompted by the recent death of mountaineer Nirmal "Nims" Purja in an avalanche in Pakistan. Starting with Richard Dawkins' reminder that "we are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones," I reflect on why there is nothing ordinary about an ordinary life — and why so many of us still leave the winning lottery ticket of being alive sitting in a drawer. I share the Buddha's teaching on mindfulness of death, where only the monks practicing at the timescale of a single mouthful or a single breath are called truly awake, along with the five remembrances, the Pali words samvega (the jolt when mortality gets real) and pasada (the settled confidence that the jolt can become a path), and the bardo teaching from The Tibetan Book of the Dead that we are dying and being born in every moment. Ultimately, I suggest the audacity to live isn't about risk but about honesty — living a life true to yourself, the thing Bronnie Ware's dying patients regretted missing most — and about a legacy measured not in accomplishments but in leaving people better than we found them. The invitation this week: once a day, pause and remember, "I will die, and I don't know when," and notice what that does to the next ten minutes of your life.Explore more at eightfoldpath.com: full transcripts, guided meditations, courses, and Noah AI, an AI you can chat with about any episode or teaching.

I'm So Tired of Starting Over — Guided Meditation for Setbacks, Self-Doubt & Beginning Again | Coherence Breathing If you are so tired of starting over, this 10-minute guided meditation is for you. Setbacks, false starts and the quiet exhaustion of beginning again can leave you convinced you are going backwards and somehow behind. This session is not going to ask you to be positive about that. It is going to show you something you have stopped being able to see. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, today's anxiety relief session uses coherence breathing, also known as resonant breathing, at six counts in and six counts out. At roughly five breaths a minute your heart rhythm and your breathing fall into step and synchronise, calming the nervous system and building resilience rather than simply distracting you. From there, gentle affirmations for self-doubt, self-worth and starting again settle you into a beautiful, trance-like state of deep relaxation. This episode also carries a personal announcement. Six years after these meditations began with a microphone and not much of a clue, the Calming Anxiety app — Anchored — launches on Thursday the 13th of August. Slow, interrupted, unglamorous progress is still progress — and that is as true for you as it has been for me. ⏱️ Time Chapters * 00:00 – "I'm so tired of starting over" — you are not lazy, not weak, not behind* 00:49 – Welcome, and why setbacks are not the end of the story* 01:22 – A personal announcement: six years, a van, a microphone, and Anchored* 02:31 – Settling: feet flat, shoulders down, eyes closed* 02:41 – Coherence breathing explained — six in, six out, five breaths a minute* 03:22 – Three guided rounds of coherence breathing* 04:54 – Affirmations for setbacks, resilience and beginning again* 06:41 – Deepening — drifting down with every out-breath* 07:22 – Second pass of affirmations* 08:51 – Your three daily caring tips* 09:35 – Coming back to the room* 10:07 – Anchored launches Thursday 13th August — put it in your diary* 11:01 – In everything, my friend, be kind 

What questions are tugging at you right now, and how might sitting with the answers help unlock your potential?For this 30th installment of our popular Ask Me Anything series, Dr. Michael Gervais is joined by co-host Victoria Garrick Browne, a Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient, former Division I volleyball player at USC, mental health advocate, creator, and speaker. Victoria turned her own private struggle with performance anxiety and depression into a gift for millions, and she founded The Hidden Opponent, a nonprofit that brings mental health education and support to student-athletes on campuses around the country. She's the ideal person to sit alongside Mike for this AMA and help answer these questions with care.The questions our community submitted are honest and vulnerable, and they keep circling the same root: identity. What happens when who you are gets fused to what you do? Mike and Victoria explore why the culture around us so easily hands young people a performance-based identity, what it looks like to move toward a purpose-based one instead, and why the way a parent talks about their child at the dinner table quietly shapes how that child sees themselves.This is a practical and useful conversation for anyone who competes, coaches, parents, or is simply trying to figure out who they are.In this conversation, we explore:How to help young people build an identity rooted in who they are, not only in how they performWhy the way you talk about your child, even at Thanksgiving, is shaping their identityHow to tell the difference between healthy competitiveness and unhealthy pressureThe warning signs of burnout in a young athlete, and why competing too early can backfireHow to share a mental health story in recruiting without it becoming a liabilityWhether real confidence can exist without external validationThe difference between formal instruction and guided discovery in coaching and parentingA simple, honest way to work with imposter syndromeIf your sense of who you are has ever felt a little too tied to what you do, this one is well-worth your time.Links & ResourcesTo learn more about Victoria, please visit: https://victoriagarrickbrowne.com/To learn more about The Hidden Opponent, the non-profit Victoria started, please visit: https://www.thehiddenopponent.org/ Subscribe 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!

When your inner critic won't stop hogging the microphone, press play.Self-doubt has a funny way of showing up uninvited and acting like it pays rent.Before you know it, it's questioning your decisions, your abilities, and whether you should've sent that text three days ago.This short guided meditation will help you take the microphone back, quiet the noise, and reconnect with the version of yourself that existed long before all the second-guessing moved in.Today's meditation is a chance to interrupt that conversation.To breathe.And to remember that self-doubt is just a feeling—it's far from the truth.Send us Fan MailWe Didn't Plan For This Special SeriesThis series exists because so many of you reached out and said, “I didn't plan for this either.”If you've gone through a diagnosis, a loss, a life change, a career shift, a divorce, becoming a caregiver, moving, starting over — we want to hear your story.EMAIL US: WDPFTPodcast@gmail.comYou don't have to have it figured out.

What if you were never actually supposed to calm yourself down alone?Dr. Arielle Schwartz breaks down why self-soothing on your own rarely works and why real calm actually depends on co-regulation with another person. This conversation goes beyond standard nervous system advice into the difference between empathy and compassion, and why too much of the wrong one leaves you just as burned out as before. It's the conversation you need if you've ever wondered why willpower alone never seems to be enough.What you'll learn:Why your nervous system can't calm down without another personThe real difference between empathy and compassionWhy what looks like burnout is often unprocessed traumaDr. Arielle Schwartz is a clinical psychologist who has spent thirty years treating complex trauma using a nervous-system-informed, non-pathologizing approach. She combines EMDR, somatic therapy, and parts work into a model she calls Resilience-Informed Therapy, and has written eight books on trauma recovery.

What if helping your child calm down could be as simple as a song, a breath, or a playful one-minute practice? In this episode of the Mindful Mama Podcast, Hunter talks with children's mindfulness expert, author, and award-winning musician Kira Willey about how music, movement, and mindfulness can help children develop emotional regulation, confidence, and connection. Kira shares practical ways parents can use rhythm and playful rituals to navigate some of the hardest parts of family life—from transitions and bedtime routines to meltdowns and moments of overwhelm. She explains why children often respond more readily to music than words, how a parent's nervous system influences a child's ability to self-regulate, and why presence matters far more than perfection. You'll learn simple, realistic practices that fit into everyday family life—even when you're busy, stressed, or running on very little sleep. In this episode, you'll learn: • How rhythm helps children regulate emotions and feel grounded• Why music can improve cooperation and ease difficult transitions• Simple one-minute mindfulness practices for busy families• How to create joyful routines around bedtime and daily transitions• Why matching a child's energy can be more effective than trying to immediately calm them down• The connection between a parent's nervous system and a child's behavior• How mindfulness can be playful, accessible, and practical for children of all ages• Why presence—not perfection—is the foundation of mindful parenting Whether you're parenting a toddler, school-age child, or tween, this conversation offers simple tools to bring more calm, joy, and connection into your family's daily life.

Dr. Rick and Forrest explore burnout: what it is, why it's so common, and what people can do about it. They begin by framing burnout as largely a structural problem that individuals are forced to manage. They unpack the six major drivers of burnout, why some people are especially vulnerable, and how chronic stress affects the mind and body. They then turn to practical ways to recover more effectively, including psychologically detaching from work, finding more effective forms of relaxation, protecting your own self-concept, and reducing underlying vulnerabilities. Finally, they talk about how we can preserve meaning and agency when we truly can't change our circumstances. Key Topics: 00:00: Intro and burnout as a structural issue 7:20: Six major factors of stress and what to do about them 21:57: Mindfulness, relaxation, and recovery 34:11: Protecting your own self-concept and job crafting 41:46: Reduce vulnerabilities and taking care of yourself 1:04:45: Recap Support the Podcast: We're on Patreon!

Narcissism is usually imagined as arrogance, dominance, and the loudest person in the room, but it is not always that obvious. In this episode, Vanessa explores narcissism as a problem of selfhood: what happens when a person does not have a stable enough inner sense of Self to stay emotionally coherent without constant reflection from the outside. Through Kohut, Kernberg, the myth of Narcissus, vulnerable and grandiose narcissism, the false self, parental overvaluation, and the difference between traits and Narcissistic Personality Disorder, we look at why these dynamics can feel so confusing inside real relationships. The question is not only whether someone can be charming, wounded, or empathic when things are easy, but whether they can stay curious about your reality when it no longer mirrors back the version of themselves they need to see.For educational purposes only. This isn't therapy.Join Vanessa for the free Inner Compass Academy Summit, August 5–7, where we'll explore depth psychology, shadow, embodiment, and what real transformation asks of us.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the most important education a child could receive isn't found in a textbook... but within themselves?In this profoundly inspiring episode of Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon sits down with Andre, founder of Inner City Bliss, for a conversation that challenges the way we think about education, mental health, parenting, and community healing.As anxiety, depression, loneliness, and emotional burnout continue to rise among young people, one question becomes impossible to ignore:Are we preparing children for success... or simply teaching them how to survive?Drawing from his own journey growing up in a deeply segregated neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Andre reflects on how his early experiences shaped his understanding of trauma, resilience, and the urgent need for emotional healing. His story isn't just about overcoming adversity—it's about transforming pain into purpose.Through Inner City Bliss, Andre has dedicated his life to helping children and families reconnect with themselves through mindfulness, movement, nature, meditation, breathwork, and emotional awareness. His mission is simple yet revolutionary: equip the next generation with the inner tools needed to navigate life's challenges long before crisis arrives.Together, Lira and Andre explore why so many schools prepare children academically while overlooking emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and mental well-being—the very skills that shape how we experience every aspect of life.This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing doesn't begin in adulthood.It begins with the environments we create, the conversations we encourage, and the emotional habits we model every day.Inside This Episode:Why anxiety among young people continues to riseThe hidden effects of generational and inherited traumaHow parents unknowingly pass emotional patterns to their childrenWhy mindfulness and meditation belong in our schoolsThe connection between nature, movement, and emotional well-beingHelping children regulate emotions instead of suppressing themThe responsibility of parents, educators, and community leadersHow social media shapes mental health and emotional identityWhy helpers must first become healers themselvesBuilding communities rooted in resilience, compassion, and hopeAt its heart, Self Reflection Podcast continues its mission of tackling mental health and some of the most poignant issues facing our communities. This episode reminds us that true transformation begins from the inside out—and that healing one child has the power to change an entire generation.If you're a parent, educator, mentor, community leader, or simply someone committed to becoming the healthiest version of yourself, this conversation will leave you inspired to rethink what it truly means to nurture the next generation.Because when we teach children how to understand their minds, regulate their emotions, and care for themselves, we don't just improve individual lives—we strengthen entire communities.The future isn't built only by what children learn. It's shaped by how deeply they learn to know themselves.

For the Alcohol Minimalist Summer's Greatest Hits series, Molly revisits the most downloaded episode in the podcast's catalog.In this episode, she explores one of the biggest challenges to changing your relationship with alcohol: understanding what is happening in your brain.Alcohol affects neurotransmitters involved in relaxation, inhibition, pleasure, and motivation. Over time, repeated drinking teaches the brain to associate alcohol with rewards such as relief, connection, celebration, or escape. Eventually, drinking can become an automatic response to familiar cues—like the end of the workday, the weekend, stress, or uncomfortable emotions.But an automatic habit is not proof that you are broken, powerless, or destined to struggle forever.Your brain learned the habit, and it can learn a new one.In This EpisodeWhy shame and labels can keep people from seeking helpThe difference between a drinking habit and physical dependenceHow dopamine reinforces the desire to keep drinkingWhy alcohol can make you feel better and worse at the same timeHow repeated drinking becomes automaticWhy awareness is the first step toward lasting changeHow your future-focused brain can interrupt reactive urgesKey TakeawayChanging your drinking begins with observing your thoughts and habits without judgment.When you understand what your brain is doing, you can stop treating your drinking as evidence of a personal flaw and start practicing new responses.Awareness is the brain's fuel for change.Resources MentionedThe Sober Truth by Lance Dodes, MD, and Zachary DodesCDC and SAMHSA research on excessive drinking and alcohol dependenceThe Alcohol Minimalist Podcast Listening GuideNext week, Molly continues the conversation by exploring how society and the alcohol industry influence our drinking habits.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Host Michael Taft talks with neuroscientist Ruben Laukkonen about what extreme physical suffering can reveal about meditation, and why awakening may be less a grand attainment than “the grand disappointment.” They explore disenchantment, grace, synchronicity, and the possibility that faith arises naturally from our embeddedness in realities too large for us to comprehend. Ruben describes the strange authority of insight—how ideas can seem to arrive from elsewhere, why their felt intensity sometimes tracks their accuracy, and how the same process can produce compelling false revelations. They also discuss psychedelics, embodied creativity, the “mastery of mania,” and Ruben's research suggesting that meditation increases the brain's signal-to-noise ratio, with posture functioning as a kind of built-in neurofeedback system. The conversation concludes by asking whether AI has Buddha nature, whether a machine must be conscious to express wisdom and compassion, and whether artificial intelligence might become a means of scaling wisdom—or its opposite—throughout human culture.Ruben Laukkonen is a neuroscientist at the University of Oxford, where he is a senior researcher in the Department of Psychiatry, a fellow at Linacre College, director of the Flourishing Intelligence Program, and co-director of the Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing. His research seeks an empirically grounded and experientially authentic understanding of meditation, insight, consciousness, and nonduality. His current work also explores how brain dynamics and contemplative wisdom might contribute to safer and more efficient artificial intelligence. Ruben has an eclectic contemplative background, including Zen, Advaita, and Theravāda, and was authorized to teach Vipassanā in 2024.Find out more at https://rubenlaukkonen.com/You can support the creation of future episodes of this podcast by contributing through Patreon.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but when we understand what is really underneath it, we can begin to take our power back. In this episode, I'm talking about how to end anxiety and become empowered. In The Adult Chair®, I define anxiety as the physical manifestation of unfelt emotions. Anxiety often shows up in the body through symptoms like shortness of breath, tightness in the throat, knots in the stomach, racing thoughts, or a rattled nervous system. But underneath those physical symptoms, there are usually emotions that need our attention. When we are anxious, the ego often tells us to do more, fix more, think more, or keep pushing. But that only keeps us on the treadmill. The way out is to slow down, turn inward, and begin noticing what is happening emotionally and physically inside of us. I walk you through two simple steps and five tools to help calm anxiety and bring you back into your Adult Chair®. These tools include mindfulness, deep belly breathing, time in nature, meditation, and journaling.
