**SPECIAL ENCORE PRESENTATION** Current statistics tell us that 20% of the US population has some form of chronic pain, defined as severe discomfort that has continued for six months or more. That's more than 50 million people. Jon Kabat-Zinn has received international acclaim for his leading work in bringing the life-changing practices of meditation and mindfulness into the mainstream of medicine and society. In this inspiring podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Jon about his empowering new book, Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief, and how we can greatly improve our lives (and our entire world) by reframing the way we relate to our thoughts, our minds, and the sensations of our bodies. Listen in as they discuss the epidemic of chronic pain and the power of mindfulness to ease suffering of all kinds, the myth of the “good meditator,” the body as the starting point for practice, exploring your “emotionally freighted thoughts,” our longing to be who we really are, working with the mind and learning to inhabit a space of embodied awareness, the refuge that is meditation practice, letting go of our stories, befriending the sensory field of what we call pain, the miracle of life on Earth, the Buddha's teaching on mindfulness as the direct path to liberation, surfing the waves of your own experience, unity within diversity and the arising of compassion, focusing on what's right instead of what's wrong, how we are all on a growth curve on life's journey, and more.

Join host Mary Crafts as she embarks on an enlightening conversation with Dr. Tracey Shors, an esteemed neuroscientist from Rutgers University, as they delve into the intricacies of the human brain and explore innovative ways to craft a meaningful life. Mary shares her personal reflections on pursuing a life with no regrets and discusses Dr. Shors's captivating journey and significant contributions to neuroscience, specifically in how the brain processes trauma and stress. In this episode, Dr. Shors unpacks her extensive research findings, revealing her development of a unique methodology known as "MAP" or "Mental and Physical" training. This method combines meditation and aerobic exercise to foster cognitive harmony and resilience against stress. With a focus on reducing rumination, Dr. Shors explains the importance of synchronizing brain activity through learning and physical exertion, offering listeners practical insights to improve mental health and overall well-being. Discover the science behind the brain's ability to generate new neurons and how we can leverage this knowledge to live fuller, more intentional lives. About the Guest(s): Dr. Tracey Shors is a renowned neuroscientist recognized for her extensive research on the brain, with a significant focus on neural plasticity and trauma recovery. Dr. Shors has dedicated over 20 years as a professor at Rutgers University where she has made groundbreaking contributions to understanding the relationship between psychology, biology, and neuroscience, particularly in the context of behavioral neuroscience. Her pioneering approach integrates meditation and physical activity to aid individuals in overcoming trauma and enhancing cognitive function. Key Takeaways: The combination of meditation and aerobic exercise provides a synchronized approach to overcoming trauma and reducing negative rumination. Rumination can detract from being present in the moment, but strategic mental and physical exercises can help in gaining control over these intrusive thoughts. Meditation focuses particularly on being present and trained awareness, which helps in recognizing one's thought patterns and bringing about mental clarity. The MAP training approach devised by Dr. Shors encourages cognitive development through learning and preserving new brain cells stimulated by physical activity. Engaging in challenging, new activities helps keep the mind agile and perpetuates neurosynaptic growth and integrity, especially later in life.   Resources: Website: MAP Train My Brain - Access free courses and sign up for personal training sessions.

Listen to the full episode for a deep dive into how Dr. Shors's innovative approaches to mental fitness can transform lives and help you take actionable steps towards crafting a meaningful existence.

In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, host Jim Ellermeyer and co-host Mike explore the difference between spirituality and organized religion and what it truly means to nurture your spirit. Together, they revisit the timeless teachings of Jesus, focusing on his central message of love, compassion, and self-discovery — a message that's often been overshadowed by societal control, rigid traditions, and centuries of interpretation. We'll discuss: • Why spirituality is about personal connection rather than institutional rules. • The two greatest commandments Jesus taught and why they free us from fear. • Insights from alternative gospels like Thomas and Mary Magdalene that emphasize the divine spark within. • How to embrace mindfulness, self-validation, and inner freedom in your daily life. Jim challenges us to see the divine within ourselves and others, and to choose kindness, forgiveness, and mindful living as a way of nurturing that spark.

In this episode, Hunter Clarke-Fields talks with Caroline Fleck about the essential role of validation in parenting and emotional connection. They discuss what validation really means—acknowledging children's feelings without needing to fix everything—and how setting emotional boundaries helps parents support their kids without absorbing their stress. The conversation highlights the difference between validating emotions and solving problems, the importance of modeling self-validation, and how these practices build trust, resilience, and stronger parent-child relationships.

To be honest, I am feeling overwhelmed. On the outside, I am discouraged by endless news of our warmongering and dysfunctioning government. On the inside, I am still processing the years of intense social isolation during the pandemic, with no work prospects, after a vibrant pre-pandemic career and social life. I am hyper-vigilant and jumpy. Creatively, I feel uninspired. I find it difficult and awkward to socialize, sleep, or even rest. During periods of overwhelm, the best thing I can do for myself is to let my parasympathetic nervous system take over. This is the part of our nervous systems responsible for our 'rest and reset'. In today's meditation, we calm our nervous system. This podcast is made possible with great thanks to our subscribers on Patreon. Join our community at Patreon (dot) com (slash) theMeditationPodcast
