Jacob Hess, Carrie Skarda, Kyle Anderson, and Ty Mansfield are the authors of The Power of Stillness: Mindful Living for Latter-day Saints. In this interview they discuss where mindfulness and meditation fit into the gospel and how we can better approach our service and our practices with the balance of mindfulness. Jacob Hess, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) instructor trained through the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Carrie Skarda, PsyD, is a psychologist in private practice. She has provided individual and couples therapy with particular interest in attachment trauma and mindfulness, and has studied and practiced mindfulness and formal meditation for over ten years. Kyle Anderson, PhD, is a professor of Chinese and Asian Studies, currently an administrator in Global Learning, International Partnerships and Initiatives at Clemson University, and came to mindfulness meditation through his studies in Asian literature.

Kimball The Council for Sustainable Healing Transcript coming soon Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights 5:40 Jacob was exposed to meditation in graduate school and began to see where it fit into the gospel tradition 7:00 Backgrounds of the authors 9:00 Definitions of mindfulness and what it means to Christians and to Latter-day Saints: compassionate presence in the moment 11:10 Christ was meditative and present in the moment 12:25 Being busy vs. mindfulness 14:00 Looking for words in our own tradition: reverence, peace, stillness, pondering 15:45 Advice for a busy leader: Christ had a practice of punctuating his doing with non-doing; the rhythm of action and pausing is already built in to our practices 19:40 It's not the gospel that people struggle with, but an impoverished experience of it 20:55 David O. McKay quote: “I think we pay too little attention to the value of meditation, a principle of devotion. In our worship there are two elements: One is spiritual communion arising from our own meditation; the other, instruction from others, particularly from those who have authority to guide and instruct us. Of the two, the more profitable introspectively is meditation. Meditation is the language of the soul.” 22:10 Example in a ward council: not praying as a to-do, but sitting with the Savior 23:30 Clarity and priority come through pausing between action 24:25 Centering the attention on the inspiration in the moment and not on the calendar: Am I interruptable? 26:20 The Savior was interruptable in his task at hand and could pivot to what was most needful in the moment 28:35 The Savior was willing to build in his time with His Father, the foundation of His work 29:35 We can meditate on the person in front of us by giving them our full attention in that moment 31:30 The order in which the Savior did what he did: communion with the Father, surrounding himself in community, then going out to minister 33:45 C.S. Lewis (in Mere Christianity): “It comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. And so on, all day. Standing back from all your natural fussings and frettings; coming in out of the wind.”

In this bonus episode, I sit down with curandera and author Erika Buenaflor. We talk all about her latest book: Veneration Rites of Curanderismo: Invoking the Sacred Energy of Our Ancestors, which covers traditional and practical rituals for connecting with your ancestors, the historical background of ancestral veneration rites of ancient Mesoamericans, and so much more. For those of you who are unfamiliar: Curanderismo is an ancient and indigenous healing practice that originates from ancient Mesoamerica.  In this episode we also discuss healing from grief, how to get started working with your ancestors, imposter syndrome, decolonization, our favorite rites and rituals, and so much more. I have had the honor of mentoring with Erika one-on-one and having healing sessions with her. Her wisdom and connection to her lineage and this work is invaluable and groundbreaking. Order: Veneration Rites of Curanderismo Follow Erika on Instagram Follow Erika on TikTokWork with ErikaMore About Erika BuenaflorErika Buenaflor, M.A., J.D., blends her experience and training as a modern-day Curandera in various healing modalities and traditions to inspire and motivate people to live their truth, and realize their BLISS!

As parents, one of our main missions is to raise some really good humans. But that can be easier said than done. Between the guilt, overwhelm, and worry, it can be challenging. Thankfully on today's episode, Hunter Clarke-Fields, Mindfulness Mentor, Mindful Parenting Podcast Host, Global Speaker, Number 1 Bestselling Author of “Raising Good Humans” and “Raising Good Humans Every Day” (Aug 1, 2023), and Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, joins me. Besides sharing how we can become more mindful, the beauty in messing up, and why we need to allow our kids to do risky things, she and I talk about how being a parent means beginning again… and again and again.

So we've talked about mindfulness on this show before, and if you're in my Differently Wired Club, you know that mindfulness meditation is something I explore from time to time but really struggle with implementing in the way I think I'm supposed to. Like, I always feel like I'm doing it wrong or it's just not for me. But as my guest today, Hunter Clarke-Fields, explains, there are many accessible ways to practice mindfulness, even for people like me who feel like they can't, or don't want to, slow down. And there's just no disputing the powerful way that mindfulness can support us in helping us be more present, more grounded, more calm, more open, and more curious when navigating all the big, challenging stuff with our neurodivergent kids. During our conversation, Hunter demonstrates a few mindful techniques to regulate yourself when you need it that are very doable even if you only have 3 minutes — I've actually been doing them since we recorded this, and I'm still at it! Hunter also shared strategies to show our kids compassion when they are struggling and introduces us to what has become one of my most favorite positive self-talk phrases — “permission to be human” — as a reminder when we have less than brilliant parenting, or life, moments. She ended the conversation with a beautiful reflection on why it's important to see our kids for who they are and be willing to be open to the changes that happen every day for them.   About Hunter Clarke-Fields Hunter Clarke-Fields MSAE, E-RYT (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a Mindfulness Mentor, Mindful Mama podcast host, mom, global speaker, and number 1 bestselling author of Raising Good Humans, as well as her most recent book, Raising Good Humans Every Day (Aug 1, 2023).

https://youtu.be/FQBSYZIvtpE Youtube Version  https://www.susanhlieberman.com Susan Lieberman Meet I'm happy you were curious to find out about me. In brief, I'm a nurse, licensed massage therapist, holistic health and life coach, certified mindfulness meditation teacher and mentor, certified medical Qi gong practitioner and teacher, Jin Shin Jyutsu (light touch acupressure, or “acupuncture without needles”) practitioner and certification program instructor, and creator of somatic energy medicine (SEM) practices and techniques. You can read more details about my credentials and qualifications below. But it's just as important for you to get to know me as a person because we will be partnering to harness your healing power in any area of your life you choose – physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, relationships, career, money, and more. And that's very personal. ​ I've dedicated my life to helping people, and I'm passionate about integrating the eastern healing traditions with evidence-based science. Why? In my work as an ICU, OR, and cancer care nurse, I've seen a lot of sickness and suffering. I instinctively knew there was a better way than this “sickness” care, so I embarked on a life-long journey of discovery. I'm now committed to sharing what I've learned (and continue to learn) with you so you can live your best life. Conventional medicine has many benefits, but I've also seen it “miss the mark” in understanding that people are more than their body parts. The time-honored eastern healing traditions have understood this for thousands of years. That's why they are successful in ways conventional medicine just isn't. Together, they can unlock a powerhouse of natural healing within your own body, mind, and spirit. I know because I've been there and back.

This week I am interviewing Addie deHilster. Addie is a mindful movement teacher whose teaching prioritizes mindfulness from the Vipassana tradition. She blends many styles of movement including Yoga, somatics and chi gong to facilitate embodiment. We discuss how Yin yoga in many ways is already a very accessible form of meditation.

I know this discussion will inspire you to turn the things you are already doing in your Yin practice into your own mindfulness practice.Addie deHilster is a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher and C-IAYT Yoga Therapist. Her passion is teaching movement practices that "unlock" mindfulness skills, and helping students gain traction in their meditation practice so they can be more present for their lives.

My friend Dent Gitchell, PhD, an educator, author, and meditation teacher in Arkansas, joins me today to bring a different perspective on reincarnation cases. After a childhood of being open to the unseen aspects of reality, Dent trained with Roger Woolger, a pioneer in past life regression therapy, which helps people recover from previous life traumas that are holding them back from healing and freedom in this life. Now, I'm not sure that all memories that come up in this form of therapy refer to actual previous lives, but many people find tremendous healing from it, and as you'll hear, Dent found it helpful. This conversation also makes some connections between Buddhist teachings on karma and the previous lives Dent experienced.

Hi, friends, I'm excited to introduce you to Dr. Dent Gitchell, an educator, author, and meditation teacher – a guy with a lot of credentials and a lot of expertise. But what I recently learned about him is that he's been a fan of The Grateful Dead since he was young, and along with that came a lot of consciousness-expanding experiences with psychedelics. In this conversation with Dent, we'll dive into those early experiences and how they've shaped the wise and kind teacher he's become.

In this podcast we will be chatting with EWP PhD student Reise Tanner about her unique approaches to birthing through her work as a midwife, doula and birthing coach. She shares her experiences in learning how to hold space to help mothers feel their belonging during the birthing process, and discusses how birthing can be approached as a form of sacred activism. Reise talks about how to reclaim the deep feminine and the role of the earth as the divine feminine in holistic transformation, which leads us to discuss the necessity of honoring intuitive ways of knowing in scholarship. We end the episode exploring some problems of our times and the importance of the continual development of approaches and strategies to conscious parenting. Reise Tanner is a PhD student in East West Psychology focused on decolonial depth psychology, ecopsychology, and applied mythology at the crossroads with feminism, indigenous traditions and liberatory methods. Her research positions birthwork as sacred activism and mothering within feminist discourse while exploring archetypes of the Feminine and centering what has been marginalized. As a seasoned doula, she views the birthing process as an initiation and believes that each birth—whether to a human or project or new version of Self— has the power to be transformative and meaningful for everyone involved. Reise is also a perinatal educator, Certified Empowerment Coach, Birthing From Within Mentor, Birth Story Listener, and mother who has attended hundreds of births and supported thousands of people on their birth journeys and beyond through groups and classes. She has trained doulas and created two innovative postpartum programs that feature storytelling: Wild Return and Wild & Rooted. In addition to attending many midwifery and birth-related trainings in the US and abroad, she has spoken publicly on several panels, and presented to the medical community. She has been a yoga instructor since 1997, certified practitioner of Maya Abdominal Therapy, and Mindfulness Meditation Teacher. Whenever possible, Reise loves to travel, spend time in wild nature, and attend cultural events.

Reise Tanner is a PhD student in East West Psychology focused on decolonial depth psychology, ecopsychology, and applied mythology at the crossroads with feminism, indigenous traditions and liberatory methods. Her research positions birthwork as sacred activism and mothering within feminist discourse while exploring archetypes of the Feminine and centering what has been marginalized. As a seasoned doula, she views the birthing process as an initiation and believes that each birth—whether to a human or project or new version of Self— has the power to be transformative and meaningful for everyone involved. Reise is also a perinatal educator, Certified Empowerment Coach, Birthing From Within Mentor, Birth Story Listener, and mother who has attended hundreds of births and supported thousands of people on their birth journeys and beyond through groups and classes. She has trained doulas and created two innovative postpartum programs that feature storytelling: Wild Return and Wild & Rooted. In addition to attending many midwifery and birth-related trainings in the US and abroad, she has spoken publicly on several panels, and presented to the medical community. She has been a yoga instructor since 1997, certified practitioner of Maya Abdominal Therapy, and Mindfulness Meditation Teacher.

As one of the people who knew her best, Glenda managed the uber-talented singer with the impeccable and distinguishable voice, Phyllis Hyman from 1985 until her untimely passing in June, 1995. Glenda had a unique relationship with Phyllis who felt like she was always struggling to have her voice heard. "Phyllis was one of the most extraordinarily bright people that I know. I'm gonna say she was genius. She had very significant ideas about the way she wanted to do things and who she wanted to be." says Glenda "I wanted to always honor that." Today, Glenda continues to uplift Phyllis' legacy. In 2021, a little over four decades from the launch of Phyllis Hyman, the Old Friend: The Deluxe Collection 1976 - 1998, a nine-disc box set that rounds up all of Hyman’s studio albums cut across the Buddah, Arista and PIR labels, was released.Join host, Brad Johnson and Glenda as they reminisce about their personal experiences with Phyllis (including track interludes) who was a frequent visitor to Brad's late father, Howard's NYC's Upper West Side restaurant, The Cellar. Glenda, an accomplished business woman, describes how she became Phyllis' manager and her shared experiences with the complex and troubled artist. We also hear about Glenda's deep dedication to personal transformation through the study of mysticism and sacred teachings on her way to a certification as a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, learning that while paths are many – truth is one.

"People should start preparing for death now because it´s coming.I think that you can develop the confidence that you will do what´s right when the time comes. You can believe in yourself and trust yourself if you have prepared.And part of that means reaching out when you need help and knowing your limitations."–Dr. Francine RainoneWelcome to another episode of Amorte where we explore subjects surroundoing death education, loss and grief.  Today my guest is Dr. Francine Rainone. In this episode we will explore  palliative care. What is Palliative Care?When is the appropriate time to consider palliative care?What are the goals of palliative care?What are some open ended questions that can be asked to explore the need for palliative care?What are the principles of palliative care?What are some important end of life questions?When should palliative care be started?When should end-of-life conversations occur?How do you help families talk about end of life care instead of continuing medical procedures?Dr. Francine Rainone is a retired Hospice and Palliative Medicine physician. She has practiced in both rural and urban settings in the U.S.  For ten years she was the Medical Director of the Palliative Care service at Lourdes hospital in Binghamton NY. She is also a long-time practitioner of Buddhism and a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher. She believes that practice occurs every moment of our lives, and that preparing for death is simply another important part of life.Americans are scared to death of dying. And with good reason. While rarely easy under any circumstances, we make dying a lot harder than it has to be. A large majority of Americans still die in hospitals or nursing homes. Many suffer poorly controlled pain or other physical miseries and endure their final days feeling undignified and a burden to others.When someone we love is diagnosed with a life-threatening condition, the worst thing we can imagine is that he or she might die. The sobering fact is that there are worse things than having someone you love die.People often confuse Hospice and Palliative Care.Hospice is intended for the last six months of end of life care and palliative care treats anyone with a chronic serious illness. They share the same philosophy which is physicians who are treating people with a serious illness should be treating the whole person, should be respecting their wishes and should be enhancing the quality of life.People who come to palliative care may have a terminal illness, may be being treated for a terminal illness or may have a chronic illness that causes their death or it may lead to something else. People that have been treated successfully for cancer but continue to have symptoms because of the treatment. Palliative care addresses the patient and family and gives them all the information they need so that they can make informed choices about what they want. It also includes symptom management to prevent, anticipate and treat the symptoms that occur. Pain management is another small part of palliative care. Most people are not trained on how to manage pain. Expectations should be realistic. You can never guarantee it might disappear completely but offer a way of living with their pain and is not necessarily their enemy. Meditation can be a great tool. Recommended books:Mindfulness meditation for pain relief Jon Kabat ZinnThe best care possible Ira ByockDying with confidence Buddhist Anyen Rinpoche .

Welcome to Difficult Conversations - Lessons I Learned as an ICU Physician with Dr. Anthony Orsini. My special guest today is Dr. Jonathan Fisher, a Harvard-trained physician, practicing cardiologist, certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, and global keynote speaker. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Fisher has helped thousands of individuals live longer and better lives. Having recovered from his own painful and long journey through anxiety, depression, and burnout, he now helps organizations, leaders, and teams heal and reverse the spiral of disengagement and burnout by sharing proven concepts and methods to enhance joy and peak performance. Dr. Fisher currently serves leadership roles in various departments and is the Founder of Mind Heart Now, LLC, and leads transformational interactive programs for teams and organizations. He is here today to discuss a variety of topics that are seriously affecting our healthcare with respect to provider crisis. We begin with Dr. Fisher sharing the story of his life growing up, how he became a physician, and the struggles he had starting in his teenage years. He talks about when he recognized that what he was experiencing was more than just stress and anxiety, but depression. We learn how Dr. Fisher recovered from his depression, which started simply by googling, “How can I be happy again?” Dr. Fisher discusses meditation and yoga and the research behind it, and the significance of “I feel, therefore I am.” He also tells us about “mindfulness of the heart” to prevent heart disease, and the American Heart Association endorsing meditation as an adjunct to treating cardiovascular disease, which was an incredible validation that this stuff not only helped heal his own anxiety and depression, but is helpful for patients as well. Find out what Dr. Fisher has to say when he discovered that mindfulness has a lot to say about communication. Dr. Orsini and Dr. Fisher chat about the importance of forming a real relationship with patients, how information does not heal people, and how powerful compassion’s effects on the human heart is.

  Some people cross your path in Life, you don't ask yourself why - you just open up your mind and heart and you just run with it.   If there's one thing I've learned from these amazing exchanges, it's the fact that there's something to be said for humility and personal truth.   My next guest and I haven't known each other that long but from the very first interaction and throughout  the wonderful opportunities since, I've gotten to know a truly radiating soul.   The calm yet profound sense of presence and mindfulness that Sarah Rose brings into a space is something that cannot be overlooked. Talking with her is both a privilege and experience. You get this sense of intentional clarity and generosity of time and self that encourages you to do the same and reciprocate. Come to think it, this shouldn't really come as a surprise given her background as both a Certified Life Coach, Mindfulness Meditation Teacher as well as a Master in Neurolinguistic Programming.   Through her practice and coaching programs, Sarah aims to help and empower people just like you to train their brains to transform their bodies into the healthiest and happiest they can be.   As a fellow podcaster and host of The Mind Body Academy podcast, THE weight loss podcast for entrepreneurs and business-minded people who want to overcome the struggle with their weight, Sarah aims to make health and happiness the business of how you get ahead in life.   This episode is packed with insightful perspective and genuine energy. We discuss the discomfort of having to be alone with our 'self', embracing the truth of our being with both clarity and acceptance, having the courage to question and reshape our thoughts, the stigma that comes from talking about Mental Health and so much more...   Another amazing conversation which I do hope you'll enjoy.   You can connect with Sarah via Instagram, Facebook as well as her official website.   Stay up to date - Subscribe to the podcast and get the latest episodes as soon they're published.

Jacob Hess, Carrie Skarda, Kyle Anderson, and Ty Mansfield are the authors of The Power of Stillness: Mindful Living for Latter-day Saints.

Highlights 5:40 Jacob was exposed to meditation in graduate school and began to see where it fit into the gospel tradition 7:00 Backgrounds of the authors 9:00 Definitions of mindfulness and what it means to Christians and to Latter-day Saints: compassionate presence in the moment 11:10 Christ was meditative and present in the moment 12:25 Being busy vs. mindfulness 14:00 Looking for words in our own tradition: reverence, peace, stillness, pondering 15:45 Advice for a busy leader: Christ had a practice of punctuating his doing with non-doing; the rhythm of action and pausing is already built in to our practices 19:40 It's not the gospel that people struggle with, but an impoverished experience of it 20:55 David O. McKay quote: "I think we pay too little attention to the value of meditation, a principle of devotion. In our worship there are two elements: One is spiritual communion arising from our own meditation; the other, instruction from others, particularly from those who have authority to guide and instruct us. Of the two, the more profitable introspectively is meditation. Meditation is the language of the soul." 22:10 Example in a ward council: not praying as a to-do, but sitting with the Savior 23:30 Clarity and priority come through pausing between action 24:25 Centering the attention on the inspiration in the moment and not on the calendar: Am I interruptable? 26:20 The Savior was interruptable in his task at hand and could pivot to what was most needful in the moment 28:35 The Savior was willing to build in his time with His Father, the foundation of His work 29:35 We can meditate on the person in front of us by giving them our full attention in that moment 31:30 The order in which the Savior did what he did: communion with the Father, surrounding himself in community, then going out to minister 33:45 C.S. Lewis (in Mere Christianity): “It comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. And so on, all day. Standing back from all your natural fussings and frettings; coming in out of the wind.” 35:25 Tech hack for when you're tied to your computer: the first tabs on the left are dedicated to devotion 36:40 How we organize our lives reflects our core values: look for the bigger purpose instead of organizing in a task-oriented way 37:30 Doing more can be disobedient, and following God's will can involve taking out good things in favor of better ...

Here’s a little story about a queer, mixed-race, black kid from Pittsberg California who was teased for being “GAY” by his peers, got beat up for being too feminine and never thought that he was good enough. Justin Michael Williams, 31-year old, author, yoga, meditation, mindfulness teacher, top-twenty recording artist and podcast host, showed those childhood doubters that he was not only good enough, but better than them all, making six figures and driving a BMW by the time he was 26-years old. But what if one day your “Baca”, your grandmother, the woman who had always loved you as you were, asked you a question -- one that would literally change the way you saw your life forever? Would you ignore her wise words and continue “living the dream” or would you answer her question honestly, knowing that your life would never be the same again?

When Erik was 20 years old he was in a car accident that changed his life. His girlfriend died in the accident and he had suffered a major concussion. He developed Post Traumatic Stress, and throughout the next two years, went through many hard times. Then he saw a "Time Magazine" article that claimed the best natural stress reliever was Mindfulness Meditation. He discovered that meditation helped him to be a better athlete while playing college baseball and helped his grades improve with less effort. Throughout college he started to wonder if there was any evidence for this experience or if he was just a crazy. Erik found that meditation had merged into the Psychology world and research indicates meditation was starting to reveal the benefits he was experiencing. He decided to get his Masters in Psychology and study Meditation and Flow States (many athletes call it "The Zone".)  He was trained to become a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher through UMass Medical School, and using technology, he measures the effects that his clients have gained through the practice of Meditation. Erik learned that by developing a mindful training practice, he could start to regulate and control his thinking and his emotions. This allowed him to influence your physiology and change your relationship to life. Erik found a way to able to shift his PTS into Post Traumatic Growth. satimind.com erikleslie.com https://www.facebook.com/presentmomentfocus/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/erik-leslie-18824430/ https://twitter.com/Sati_Mind

I had a skull fracture, a brain hemorrhage, two vertebrae in my back fractured, I completely shattered my coccyx, left leg I fractured in three places, right leg from the knee down all of my bones shattered and came out of my heel... 6 weeks later I got severe osteomyelitis and they told me they were going to amputate my foot... they told me I was not going to be able to walk again normally... I said 'Okay, either I'm going to do this and apply everything that I learned or I'm going to be in pain the rest of my life and I'm not going to be able to walk.' In that year, I applied everything that I learned from my first seven years of mentorship. I put everything into practice, I worked with all the herbs... I knew how to work with acupressure points in my body so my muscles wouldn't go into atrophy. I knew how to take myself into a journey, how to work with plants and how to do cleanses... by the grace of all that is wonderful, I walked with a completely normal gait in less than 2 weeks." - Erika Buenaflor Find us at www.liberatehollywood.comFind Erika at www.realizeyourbliss.com Join Erika for two amazing events at Liberate Hollywood: - Friday, September 28th, 7:00 - 8:30 PM - FREE Intro to Curanderismo & Book Signing. - Sunday, September 30th, 12:00 - 3:00 PM - The Art of Limpias: Latin American Shamanic Cleansing Practices TICKETS at www.liberatehollywood.com

Mental Help Net (Www.Mentalhelp.Net) Presents the Wise Counsel Podcast (Wisecounsel.Mentalhelp.Net), Hosted By David Van Nuys, Ph.D. "shinzen Young on Mindfulness Meditation". in this Installment of the Wise Counsel Podcast, Dr. Van Nuys Interviews Shinzen Young, a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher and Buddhist Scholar. As a Westerner Fluent in the Practice of Eastern Meditation, Young Has Set Himself the Goal of Making Meditation More Easily Available to Average Western People. He Has Reformulated Buddhist Concepts Into Language That Westerners Can Understand, and Has Developed a Website Through Which He Teaches Online Classes so As to Make Meditation Instruction Available to Most Anyone Regardless of Location Or Financial Resources. His Third Goal is to See Buddhism and the Long Training Period Necessary to Learn How to Become a Skillful Meditator Become Obsolete Through the Development of a Merged Western-Eastern Neuroscience and Brain-Based Approach to Meditation. He is Excited to Note That Part of this Merging Between Science and Meditation is Occurring Today With the Development of Mindfulness-Based Forms of Psychotherapy.
