A simple wooden bench beneath redwoods can teach more about mindfulness than a stack of books. Sean Fargo shares how years as a Buddhist monk distilled into one essential practice: sit at the base of a tree, feel your breath, and let nature lead. From Thai forests to a Berkeley backyard, he traces the quiet power of practicing outdoors and explains why fresh air, shifting light, and the textures of the world sharpen attention and soften judgment.We explore a practical, element-based approach—earth, fire, air, water, and space—that makes awareness tangible. You'll hear how to work with sun on the skin, breeze on the face, and the honest feedback of uneven ground. Sean offers simple ways to start today: eyes open or closed, sitting in a park, or taking a slow walk while sensing heel, ball, toe. For teachers, he maps out how to guide groups off Zoom and into parks, trails, and campgrounds, where presence becomes easier and distractions become part of the practice instead of problems to fix.If you've wondered whether public meditation looks strange, this conversation offers permission and a plan. We talk about building resilience by staying with both pleasant and unpleasant conditions, noticing judgments, and returning to raw sensation. By the end, you'll have a clear, friendly roadmap for bringing your practice outdoors—alone, with friends, or with a class—and a renewed trust that nature is a steady mentor when we show up to listen.Subscribe for more grounded guidance, share this episode with someone who loves the outdoors, and tell us in the comments: where in nature do you practice mindfulness?Support the showAdd your 5‑star review — this really helps others find us.

You'll also hear a soft introduction to a new Patreon space, created for listeners who would like to explore meditations ad-free and access a calm, organised library for sleep, anxiety support, and daily grounding.There's no pressure — this podcast will always remain freely available — but the option is there if it feels supportive.

A Taoist guide to parenting with trust instead of fear — so love flows without control, criticism, or comparison.Parenting often pulls us between overprotection and emotional distance — both driven by fear, not love. In this episode, we explore the Tao of parenting, the art of guiding without controlling, and how to raise resilient, confident children through trust, presence, and balance. Drawing on Taoist wisdom, Inner Child awareness, and the release of criticism, comparison, and judgment, this episode reveals how fear-based parenting patterns form — and how aligning with wu wei creates freedom, emotional safety, and unconditional love for both parent and child.With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).Discover our online consultations, events and shop: https://www.wuweiwisdom.comSubscribe to David's FREE Journal: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/Other related teachings on our YouTube channel that will help you:INNER CHILD PLAYLIST  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zICGLRS1b7q1HSJhZRash5qqSHEN (THE SPIRITUAL SELF) PLAYLIST https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zIBmp50wYcmU7jCBLp1Qvl-jIs there a question you'd like answered on the show?

From the absurd (snakes through sunroofs) to the profound (the fear of being unlovable), we're diving into the vivid world of adult anxiety. This episode categorizes our fears into three distinct lanes: practical risks that need a plan, anxiety loops that need a nervous-system reset, and tender wounds that require compassion and community.We explore why "white-knuckling" through phobias doesn't work and how tools like EMDR and exposure therapy can rewire your brain. Whether you need a checklist, a deep breath, or a witness to your story, this framework helps you balance grit with gentleness. Tune in to learn how to turn your "what-ifs" into actionable, brave steps.

What if home isn't a location but a feeling you can access anywhere? On a quiet stretch of California's Central Valley, we explore how mindfulness turns a long drive into a place of safety, gratitude, and deep belonging. Instead of rushing from one address to the next, we lean into breath, body, and the living world around us—the weight of the seat, the warmth of the sun, the whisper of wind, even the tumbleweeds—and discover a home that doesn't depend on walls.We get honest about the old habit of racing to arrive: optimizing departure times, passing at the perfect angle, pushing for speed. Then we slow down, sense into the ground that holds us, and let presence soften the road. Through simple practices—feeling the inhale and exhale, grounding through contact points, widening awareness to include sky and land—we learn to relate to the environment as part of our inner home. Safety stops being a future destination and becomes a moment-to-moment experience in the body.Along the way, we ask a few powerful questions: Can I be at home in my body right now? Can I trust the earth beneath me? Can I welcome the air and space around me? With each question, the heart opens to care, and gratitude naturally rises. That gratitude eases transitions—new places, uncertain paths, and the in-between miles feel less like exile and more like belonging. If you're moving through change, traveling, or simply craving steadiness, this conversation offers a gentle map back to yourself.If this resonated with you, follow the show, share it with a friend who's on the move, and leave a quick review to help others find a sense of home, wherever they are.Support the showAdd your 5‑star review — this really helps others find us.

In this special holiday revisited episode of Think Thursday, Molly explores why mental rest is essential for brain health, especially coming out of a season of overstimulation. She explains how modern life is designed to hijack our attention, keeping us in constant reaction mode and depriving the brain of the downtime it needs to function well.Molly breaks down what happens neurologically when the brain is exposed to nonstop input, including cognitive fatigue, reduced creativity, increased stress, and weaker memory consolidation. She revisits the role of the default mode network and explains why creativity and quiet, not constant consumption, are key to restoring mental clarity and emotional regulation.The episode closes with practical, science backed strategies for reclaiming mental rest and intentionally creating space for the brain to recover and thrive.What You'll LearnThe difference between mental rest and sleep or meditationWhy the brain is not designed for constant stimulationHow nonstop input leads to cognitive fatigue and decision fatigueThe role of the default mode network in creativity and problem solvingWhy overstimulation increases stress, anxiety, and emotional reactivityHow modern technology has removed natural stopping points for the brainWhy attention is the product in today's digital economyKey Concepts ExplainedCognitive fatigue from continuous information processingDefault mode network and its role in reflection and creativitySympathetic nervous system activation from constant stimulationMemory consolidation requiring downtime and restAttention as a limited resource that must be protected intentionallyPractical Strategies Shared in the EpisodeSchedule at least 30 minutes of tech free time each dayEmbrace boredom and allow moments of silence without distractionCreate a no phone zone in one part of your day, such as meals or bedtimeReplace scrolling with hands on, real world creativityPrioritize presence over constant consumptionReal World Creativity Ideas MentionedPlaying music or learning an instrumentDrawing, painting, or doodlingWriting by hand through journaling or copying quotesGardening, crafting, sculpting, or woodworkingCreative movement such as dancing, stretching, or mindful walkingWhy Mental Rest MattersMental rest is not wasted time. It allows the brain to process information, regulate emotions, consolidate memory, and restore cognitive energy. Without intentional breaks, the brain stays in reaction mode, making it harder to focus, create, and feel calm.Listener InvitationFor the next 24 hours, find one way to engage in real world creativity with no screens involved.

From 2023 My website

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Rich Ashton to unpack the real reason small businesses stall. Leadership gaps. Rich shares what he learned across a 45-year career acquiring and turning around small businesses. Hiring “experienced” leaders from outside often fails because they miss the realities of small business and they can break trust with internal teams. Promoting great employees can fail too when people get a title without training. Rich explains how self-imposed limitations show up in frontline employees. From emotional baggage and self-doubt to the belief that “I'm just a technician.” He also lays out what actually works. Practical support, direct feedback, consistent leadership conversations, and a culture rooted in shared values. If you want to build leaders who can run the business without you, this is the blueprint. About the Guest: Rich Ashton is a longtime entrepreneur and operator who developed an internal leadership training program after repeatedly seeing outside hires fail and internal promotions struggle. He is the author of “Growing Your Own. Common Sense Advice for Developing Leaders in Small Business.” Key Takeaways: Outside hires can flop in small businesses because they do not understand the pace, constraints, and culture. Internal promotions fail when people are expected to lead without training and real coaching. Self-imposed limitations often sound like “I'm not leadership material” or show up as emotional reactivity and low confidence. Some employees never saw leadership modeled at home or at work. That shapes what they believe is possible for them. Leadership growth works best as a step-by-step process. Not a one-time workshop. Make development mentally safer by pairing support with clear accountability. Kind but direct beats vague and “nice.” Connection comes first. Leaders get better results when they understand what makes people tick. A simple operating rhythm matters. Rich used bi-weekly leadership blogs and then forced discussion in meetings. That unlocked real behavior change. If you are a business owner you are not automatically a leader. Build your own leadership skills or get help fast. Shared values like integrity, customer service, and employee empowerment create culture alignment and reduce leadership friction.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Dr. Melanie Gray to talk about the hidden cost of being “fine on paper.” High performers. Caregivers. Leaders. People everyone leans on. The big idea is simple. If your nervous system is stuck in survival mode then your success starts feeling like burnout. Dr. Melanie breaks down how trauma responses can disguise themselves as personality traits like perfectionism, people pleasing, shutdown, and overcontrol. You will also hear her STOP-IT framework for moving from reaction to regulation. It is practical. It is leadership-ready. It is built for real life, not wellness fantasy. If you are trying to “fix everything” at once, this conversation will help you zoom out, scan what is working, tell yourself the truth, and make a clean pivot toward sustainable performance, better relationships, and calmer decision-making. About the Guest: Dr. Melanie Gray is a registered nurse, educator, and wellness strategist with 20+ years in healthcare leadership and higher education. She is known for her work in trauma-informed leadership, burnout prevention, and workplace wellness. She is the founder of Melanie Gray Solutions and the author of Regulate First, Lead Second: Master Your Biology, Transform Your Leadership. Key Takeaways: High functioning is not the same as healthy. If you are snapping at people, skipping family time, or feeling constant gut-level stress, your nervous system is waving a red flag. Separate identity from survival. Some behaviors helped you rise, but you still get to choose when to put the brakes on and pivot. Use the STOP-IT framework. Scan your whole life. Tell yourself the truth. Own your yes and no. Prioritize the pivot. Be intentional. Commit to transformation. In a stressful moment, regulate first. Breathe. Unclench. Move your body. Buy time. You do not owe instant responses to emails or people. Boundaries are leadership. You teach people how to treat you by what you tolerate and how quickly you react. Inventory beats hustle. Write down what stress is costing you in relationships, health, energy, and integrity. Then decide what you want to be known for. Empower your team. Stop being the bottleneck. Let smart people be smart. Collaboration reduces overwhelm and upgrades culture. Trauma-informed self-leadership at work means empathy, inclusion, and making space for quieter voices. Quiet does not mean less capable. A 7-day reset works. One STOP-IT moment daily. One small keystone habit. Consistency over perfection.

Key TakeawaysMovement is the origin and expression of all psychological experienceYour early developmental movement patterns created the thought stories you're running todayThe rhythm that soothed you as an infant is still your nervous system's languageSmall shifts in posture, gesture, or movement create massive changes in thinking over timeYou can't heal a body you hate, but you can heal a body you feel neutral aboutWhat if everything you think is actually rooted in how you move?You're not stuck because you're thinking wrong. You're stuck because you're moving wrong. The way you learned to walk as a toddler created thought patterns you're still running today. The rhythm that soothed you as an infant is still your nervous system's language. Your posture right now is reinforcing the exact story you're trying to change.This isn't about exercise. It's about understanding that your body holds the blueprint for every pattern you can't seem to break. And the smallest shift in how you move can completely rewire how you think.Today's guest is Erica Hornthal, a licensed clinical professional counselor, board-certified dance movement therapist, and author of Body Aware and Body Talk.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers explores with Jason Prall how mitochondrial health and the gut microbiome are deeply connected, shaping energy, inflammation, and long-term resilience. You'll learn why mitochondria are far more than energy producers and how their communication drives whole-body health.   In this episode, you'll discover how the microbiome helps translate food into signals that influence mitochondrial function, metabolism, and cellular repair. Jason breaks down why diversity in the gut matters and how everyday choices quietly shape this internal dialogue.   In this episode, you'll hear practical insights on how sleep, light exposure, movement, fasting, and stress act as signals that either strengthen or weaken this mitochondrial–microbiome connection. The conversation leaves space to rethink how small lifestyle shifts can create powerful biological change.     In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Human and Mitochondrial DNA 04:06 Deep Dive into Mitochondria and Aging 14:01 Understanding the Gut Microbiome 25:38 Environmental Factors Affecting Health 29:19 Mindfulness and Detoxification 29:55 Impact of Thoughts on Health 31:06 Personalized Health Approaches 31:39 Universal Health Strategies 33:43 Importance of Sleep 37:19 Exercise and Movement 41:07 Fasting and Meal Timing 45:48 Stress and Recovery Balance 48:42 Final Thoughts and Resources     If you want practical, natural strategies to balance your hormones, heal your gut, boost your energy, and slow aging, don't miss The Dr. Josh Axe Show.
