In Fishing Without Bait Episode 496 – *Clearing the Etch-A-Sketch: Letting Go of What Isn't Ours, we continue Part 3 of our conversation with returning guest and Clairvoyant *Santina Grace. This episode focuses on healing trauma without rewriting or reliving the past. Through grounding visualizations, breathwork, and recovery-based insights, Santina and the Fishing Without Bait team discuss how emotional experiences can be deconstructed so they no longer control our present moment. Using metaphors like clearing an Etch-A-Sketch or rooting into the earth through mindful breathing, the conversation highlights how releasing emotional energy that doesn't belong to us creates space for clarity, neutrality, and joy. We also explore recovery as a universal human process — because everyone is in recovery from something — and how honoring yourself begins with learning to listen.

Digging into how while meditation and mindfulness practices can enhance our ability to self regulate and improve our self-compassion, they are not helpful for everyone.  This level of internal focus can bring on panic attacks, anxiety and enhanced trauma responses causing us to escalate in behaviors which are meant to keep us safe. 

The Power of Awakening by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, beloved spiritual teacher who used to say, "This is not about self-help. It's about self-realization, which is way beyond self-help." offers spiritual tools to transcend your current circumstances and old patterns in order to reach true fulfillment. Wayne will help you understand what an illusion much of life is, so you can see the big picture and spark deep transformation (that is, "the ability to go beyond your form"), resulting in peace and harmony in all areas of your life. Mindfulness Practices and Spiritual Tools to Transform Your Life0:00 Intro1:14 WELCOME, in this video we...2:23 Waking and Dreaming levels of consciousness3:48 The Highest form of Intelligence you can get to is5:00 The PATH to understanding the BIG PICTURE is8:14 As you become more forgiving...8:54 KEY 1 - Banish the Doubt10:28 KEY 2 - Cultivate the Witness11:45 KEY 3 - Shut Down the Inner Dialog13:23 KEY 4 Tame the ego16:03 How do we get to World Peace?17:36 An interesting Visualization Study19:30 How do you use your present moment?19:55 As you go into the Meditative State you...20:48 This is more then "self-help"!22:18 AND..."The Power of Awakening" by Dr. Wayne W.

Institutions prioritized filling seats over healing people. Two of her classmates died by suicide that same week.

This guided meditation invites you to carve out time for yourself—a moment to pause and invest in your own well-being.As we take a breath, settle into stillness, and direct our awareness inward, a transformation begins. Imagine a snow globe after the flurry subsides—everything that was swirling finds its place, and suddenly we can see through to what truly matters within us.I hope this practice serves you well.

Former Buddhist monk and Mindfulness Exercises founder Sean Fargo explores what full acceptance really means in mindfulness and meditation—meeting fear, anxiety, judgment, and resistance with embodied awareness and self-compassion. Drawing on years of teaching across prisons, hospitals, classrooms, and companies, Sean translates Buddhist psychology, trauma-sensitive mindfulness, and practical nervous system regulation into simple moves you can use today—without turning practice into performance. Expect a grounded look at acceptance vs. resignation, how to work inside your window of tolerance, and ways to steady attention with noting and breath awareness. You'll hear how body-based mindfulness (skin, flesh, blood, air, bone) restores safety, how to soften striving and “fixing,” and how fierce compassion supports wise action. Ideal for mindfulness teachers, therapists, coaches, and dedicated practitioners who want real tools for emotional regulation, resilience, and teaching with integrity. ✨ In This Episode, You'll Learn What “acceptance” means (and what it doesn't) in mindfulness practice How acceptance creates space before reaction or change Why gentle awareness and fierce compassion go hand in hand A guided meditation on sensing the layers of the body — skin, flesh, blood, air, bone How to bring mindfulness to worry, fear, and feelings of unsafety Practical tools like noting practice and embodied grounding Insights from Sean's live Q&A on anxiety, safety, and the breath How acceptance connects with teachings from Byron Katie and Nonviolent Communication ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Opening reflections on the word “acceptance” 02:00 – Why we resist acceptance and what it really means 04:00 – The practice of full acceptance 07:00 – Guided Meditation about Acceptance 56:11 – Working with worry, fear, and uncertainty (Leslie's question) 01:02:31 – Using noting and embodiment to balance thought-based worry 01:08:38 – Working with shortness of breath and striving (Jean's question) 01:10:10 – Creative ways to connect with the breath 01:15:51 – Byron Katie's “The Work” and fierce compassion 01:19:00 – Closing reflections

Send us a textA missed title at a conference shouldn't spark a crisis of identity—yet for Elena, a decorated senior research fellow, it did. We follow that sharp sting and instant correction to uncover a deeper pattern: when confidence depends on credentials, minor slights can feel like existential threats. Using a vivid case from Aponte's “The Mask of Credentials,” we explore how ego maintenance becomes brittle, how vulnerable narcissism hides behind quiet competence, and why the chase for recognition keeps failing to deliver durable self-worth.We unpack the psychology from several angles. Freud gives us the frame for ego defenses, while contemporary research maps narcissism as a spectrum with grandiose and vulnerable forms. Kohut's theory of missing mirroring explains the craving for external validation, and Kernberg's model clarifies the split between a polished public image and a hidden core of shame. We trace two development pathways—chronic invalidation and overindulgence—and show how both can produce entitlement, poor frustration tolerance, and hypersensitivity to status cues. Then we widen the lens to culture: social media rewards the mask of success, driving a cycle of short-lived highs, escalating corrections, and brittle relationships.Along the way, we examine the relational cost. When identity is outsourced to others' reactions, people become instruments—mirrors to reflect a preferred image—rather than partners. Miss the cue, and value plummets. To break the loop, we share concrete practices: catch the surge when status feels threatened, pause before correcting, and ask, “Would I still believe in my value if no one noticed?” We introduce logical humility—the discipline of letting ideas stand on their own—so credentials become tools, not life support. Finally, we challenge a subtler mask: grandiose suffering, the move to claim specialness through hardship rather than achievement.If you've ever felt your mood hinge on recognition, this conversation offers a path to steadier ground.

On episode 245, we welcome Michael Uebel to discuss the practice of equanimity, its similarities and differences from mindfulness practices, how perspective taking helps mitigate difficult feelings as in PTSD, how it can be used to help bridge political divides, shifting goals to less ambitious ones for greater equanimity, perspective taking and its influence on self-esteem, and psychoanalysis as a foundation for increased humility and curiosity.

Social media algorithms are designed to keep your attention—not to show you the truth. In this episode, I'm breaking down how these algorithms control what you see, how they impact your mental health, and most importantly—how to take back control.Whether you're a teen feeling the pressure or a parent trying to help, this video gives you practical tools to manage your digital life and protect your mental health.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:✅ How social media algorithms actually work (and why your feed feels so toxic)✅ The "mirror vs. window" concept that changes everything✅ How to set boundaries that actually work (no, you don't have to quit)✅ How to curate a feed that lifts you up instead of drags you downKEY TAKEAWAYS:

Welcome to Day 5 of our October Mindfulness Challenge! Today's practice is a classic grounding technique known as 5-4-3-2-1, designed to anchor you in the present moment using your senses. Through this guided exercise, you'll explore: 5 things you can see 4 things you can feel 3 things you can hear 2 things you can smell 1 thing you can taste This sensory-based practice is a powerful way to reconnect with your surroundings, calm your mind, and cultivate awareness — anytime, anywhere.

At some point in practice, many of us wonder: Why does it feel like I'm not growing anymore? In this excerpt from our Community Gathering Q&A, a student opens up about reaching a plateau after years of mindfulness and healing work. Sean Fargo offers a compassionate reframing that feeling stuck is not failure, but often a sign that something deeper is asking for attention. Along the way, he shares practical ways to soften this stuckness — from grounding in nature, to seeking help and support, to practicing forgiveness and self-compassion. This conversation reminds us that plateaus are not the end of the journey, but turning points that can open us into greater freedom, resilience, and wholeness.

Rumination on the past and anxiety about the future are both forms of repetitive negative thinking that can significantly increase stress and contribute to mental health issues like depression and anxiety. While they are distinct processes, they often feed into each other, creating a cycle of distress.Rumination is the process of excessively dwelling on negative thoughts and feelings about past events. It's like replaying a distressing movie scene over and over in your mind, without ever reaching a resolution. This form of thinking focuses on "what went wrong," "what I should have said," or "why did that happen?" instead of productive problem-solving. It's often associated with feelings of guilt, shame, regret, and helplessness. For example, after an awkward social interaction, a person might ruminate on their every word and action, critiquing themselves long after the event has passed. This constant self-criticism intensifies negative emotions and can prevent individuals from moving forward.Anxiety about the future is characterized by excessive worry about what might happen. It's often referred to as "anticipatory anxiety," where you're constantly imagining and preparing for potential threats or negative outcomes. This type of thinking focuses on "what if" scenarios, such as "what if I fail my exam?" or "what if I lose my job?" This constant state of alert keeps the body in a prolonged "fight or flight" response, leading to physical symptoms like a racing heart, muscle tension, and difficulty sleeping. It is driven by an intolerance of uncertainty, the inability to accept that you can't control every possible outcome.Both rumination and future anxiety can become self-perpetuating cycles. Rumination on a past failure can increase your anxiety about facing a similar situation in the future, and anxiety about a future event can lead to rumination on the potential negative outcomes. To break this cycle, it's crucial to shift your focus from unproductive thinking to the present moment.Effective strategies include:Mindfulness: Practices like meditation and deep breathing help anchor you in the present, reducing the power of thoughts about the past or future.Cognitive Restructuring: Challenge your negative thought patterns by asking if there's evidence to support them. Replace "what if I fail?" with more balanced statements, such as "I'm prepared, and I'll do my best."Scheduled "Worry Time": Instead of letting worry consume your day, set aside a specific, short period (e.g., 15 minutes) to address your concerns. If a worrying thought arises outside this time, gently remind yourself to deal with it during your scheduled session.Actionable Plans: If a concern is within your control, create a step-by-step plan to address it. For example, if you're worried about an exam, create a study schedule. Taking action can reduce the sense of helplessness that often fuels rumination and anxiety.Physical Activity: Exercise is a powerful tool for interrupting negative thought loops and releasing built-up stress. A walk in nature, in particular, has been shown to reduce rumination and quiet the part of the brain associated with self-focused, negative thinking. let's initiate a plan-If a concern is within your control, create a step-by-step plan to address it. For example, if you're worried about an exam, create a study schedule. Taking action can reduce the sense of helplessness that often fuels rumination and anxiety. Greetings, Grandpa Bill!

✨ What New Orleans Taught Me About Living Intentionally ✨ New Orleans is a city with soul. Its rich history, resilience after Katrina, the music spilling into the streets, the food meant to be savored, and the magic of second line parades—all of it carries lessons on how to live life more fully. In this episode, I'm sharing my most recent trip to the French Quarter and the four powerful lessons New Orleans reminded me about intentional living: Presence is everything. Go with the flow. Say yes to the unexpected. Honor your roots and stories. Whether you've been to New Orleans many times, or have never set foot there, these lessons are ones you can carry into your everyday life. From savoring your morning coffee to saying yes to something new, my hope is that this episode inspires you to slow down, romanticize your life, and let the ordinary become extraordinary.

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.

The Psychological Benefits of Reconceptualizing Music-Making as Mindfulness PracticeIn this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer and Dr. Matthew Steinfeld explore the deep connection between mindfulness and music-making. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and contemplative traditions, this study argues that playing music can serve as a mindfulness practice, fostering presence, flow states, and emotional resilience. By shifting attention from self-judgment to the embodied experience of sound, musicians can reduce performance anxiety, enhance focus, and deepen their connection to their craft. Whether you're a professional musician or a casual player, tune in to discover how mindfulness can transform your musical experience.Full Reference:Steinfeld, M., & Brewer, J. A. (2015).
