Guest Introduction: Dr. Greg Hammer, a retired Stanford University professor and author of GAIN Without Pain: The Happiness Handbook for Healthcare Professionals, shares his groundbreaking GAIN method for cultivating mindfulness, reducing stress, and fostering resilience. With decades of experience in medicine and wellness, Dr. Hammer introduces practical strategies to help individuals build a foundation for lasting happiness and well-being.     Episode Topic: In this episode, we delve into the physiological and emotional effects of chronic stress and how intentional mindfulness practices can rewire the brain for happiness. Dr. Hammer's GAIN method offers a simple yet powerful framework to cultivate gratitude, acceptance, intention, and non-judgment in daily life.     Three Key Takeaways: Gratitude is the foundation for happiness and stress relief. Chronic stress can be reduced by practicing acceptance and intentional breathing. Non-judgment fosters resilience and reduces emotional reactivity.     Main Topics: 1. The Role of Gratitude in Happiness (Timestamp: 10:20) Explanation: Gratitude shifts focus from challenges to abundance, reinforcing positivity and reducing the impact of stressors. Cultivating gratitude enhances well-being by countering the brain's natural negativity bias. Notable Quote: "You can't imagine someone being happy and ungrateful—gratitude is intrinsic to happiness." Impact: Gratitude provides a mental reset, emphasizing what truly matters and alleviating stress's hold on emotions.     2. Acceptance as a Stress Management Tool (Timestamp: 18:45) Explanation: Acceptance neutralizes suffering by reducing resistance to pain or discomfort. It allows individuals to process challenging emotions without amplifying their impact, fostering emotional clarity. Notable Quote: "Suffering equals pain times resistance. If we reduce resistance, we can diminish suffering." Impact: Practicing acceptance empowers individuals to confront difficulties with calmness, fostering resilience and emotional strength.     3. Non-Judgment and Rewiring the Brain (Timestamp: 30:10) Explanation: Releasing judgment—of oneself, others, or circumstances—frees mental energy for constructive action. This practice rewires the brain to respond rather than react, building emotional resilience. Notable Quote: "Let go of judgment. The world is as it is, and we are simply who we are." Impact: By embracing non-judgment, individuals reduce emotional reactivity, creating a sense of inner peace and balance.     Closing Thoughts: Dr. Hammer's GAIN method offers a powerful way to reduce stress and cultivate happiness through daily mindfulness practices. By focusing on gratitude, acceptance, intention, and non-judgment, individuals can rewire their brains for positivity and build a life of resilience and well-being. Start small, commit to the practice, and watch the transformation unfold.

Summary In this episode of Babe Philosophy, Meli and Liv explore the complex question of whether looks matter in society. They discuss individual perspectives on attractiveness, the role of energy and self-care in how we present ourselves, and the importance of authenticity versus external validation. The conversation delves into the journey of self-acceptance and the impact of self-love on attraction, while also addressing societal beauty standards and the dichotomy of beauty and intelligence. Ultimately, they emphasize that true beauty comes from making choices that align with one's authentic self and the power of self-care in enhancing attractiveness. Keywords looks, beauty, self-acceptance, authenticity, self-love, attraction, societal standards, personal experiences, body positivity, self-care Takeaways Looks matter if that person says they matter. Self-perception influences how we present ourselves to the world. Energy and self-care significantly impact attractiveness. Authenticity is more important than conforming to societal standards. Self-love is essential for feeling beautiful and attracting others. The journey to self-acceptance is complex and personal. People can sense when someone is being authentic versus seeking validation. True beauty is an expression of one's authentic self. Making choices for oneself enhances attractiveness. The way we care for ourselves reflects in our physical appearance. Sound Bites "Do looks actually matter?" "Looks matter if that person says they matter." "It's more of an energetic thing."

Dr. Greg Hammer retired professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, pediatric intensive care physician, pediatric anesthesiologist, mindfulness expert, and # 1 best selling author of “GAIN Without Pain.” Greg discussed the GAIN method (Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, Non-Judgment) to promote happiness and mental strength through brain flexibility. He compared stoic philosophy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, emphasizing self-compassion and positive mental health habits. He also discussed non-judgment in coaching, focusing on empathy. Greg highlighted the importance of being present and listening actively. He explored faith's broader role in coping and happiness beyond specific religions.     Key Takeaways [03:02] Dr. Greg discussed why self-care is crucial for healthcare professionals, especially post-pandemic. He introduced his book, "Gain Without Pain: The Happiness Handbook for Healthcare Professionals," emphasizing resilience to prevent chronic stress. Dr. Greg explained the acute stress response and highlighted strategies for building resilience through self-care to maintain mental well-being in challenging times. [03:57] Dr. Greg explained the acute stress response, where the body releases adrenaline and cortisol in reaction to threats, a survival instinct from ancient times. In modern life, these responses can lead to chronic stress and health problems. He stressed the importance of resilience in managing stress effectively, given the constant stressors in today's world, to maintain long-term health and well-being. [10:13] Dr. Greg discussed the stellate ganglion block and cognitive behavioral therapy for stress relief. He introduced the GAIN method—Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, Non-Judgment—as essential for happiness. Dr. Greg explained how these practices use neuroplasticity to rewire the brain, emphasizing gratitude for daily blessings, accepting life's challenges, and living intentionally in the present moment. He gave practical examples of each, showing how they can reduce suffering and strengthen mental resilience. [20:50] Dr. Greg compared stoic philosophy to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), noting their focus on controlling what's possible and letting go of what isn't. He questioned why people often neglect beneficial actions, attributing it to self-judgment and a tendency to feel undeserving of happiness. Dr. Greg highlighted the role of intentionality in changing these patterns, emphasizing techniques from CBT that promote self-compassion and positive mental health practices. [23:57] Dr. Greg and Jim discussed non-judgment in their coaching practice. They highlighted the difference between discerning behaviors and labeling people as good or bad. Dr. Greg shared insights from his meditation practice, emphasizing seeing oneself and others without judgment. [29:17] Dr. Greg reflected on his experiences as a pediatric intensive care physician, highlighting lessons in leadership and presence. He stressed the importance for physicians, especially younger ones, to prioritize presence and active listening, which he believes significantly impacts patient care and family satisfaction in critical situations. [32:58] Greg discussed the role of faith during tough times, agreeing that it's about believing in something bigger than ourselves, like a sense of interconnectedness or higher purpose, rather than specific religious labels. They highlight how this broader view of faith can help people cope and find happiness, emphasizing its universal relevance beyond individual beliefs. [35:34] Greg shares a story highlighting our tendency towards negativity bias and the need for self-compassion. They emphasize the potential of neuroplasticity to cultivate positivity and happiness. [40:58] And remember,  "Mindfulness helps you go home to the present. And every time you go there and recognize a condition of happiness that you have, happiness comes." - Thich Nhat Hanh   Quotable Quotes “Happiness is much lower down on the list of evolutionary pressures, let's say. So we've evolved in order to preserve our survival. “Suffering equals pain times resistance.”  “We're very judgmental by nature and we judge ourselves more harshly than we judge others.” "Our brains have something called neuroplasticity. That means that we can change those neural networks, those patterns. We can actually rewire our brains, which is really important, because our brains have become hardwired in ways that may have been adaptive for survival, but are not good for our peace and happiness." "Develop a practice where you could sort of wipe the slate clean before you go into that room and be present with the family first."  "Happiness really resides in the present moment." “Gratitude is essential for happiness." “But being present and open and making eye contact and being there for and with that person and their family, I think that's what people really want and need.” "We are all made of the same stuff...embracing the idea that we're more than just these little individual selves is intrinsic to happiness."  Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.

It's so easy, isn't it? We all do it – judge others for actions we believe are wrong. Sometimes we simply cannot imagine any circumstance under which the action taken could ever be the right thing to do; it's wrong, period, end of story. But, what if there really is more to the story?

Judgment comes easily to most of us - at best, it can help us survive. At worst, it can leave us so triggered we can't function. Listen in to explore a real moment, and how to use Nonjudgmental Stance as a tool that can turn hard conversations into teachable moments. Post-Note: This episode uses the term "intersex", defined by isna.org as "a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male. For example, a person might be born appearing to be female on the outside, but having mostly male-typical anatomy on the inside. Or a person may be born with genitals that seem to be in-between the usual male and female types. Listen in to this episode to:

Breaking down the nature of who we are and how judging ourselves is a complete LIE instilled into us due to global societal programming. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/seematangri/support

“Spiritual awakening is a force that turns our world upside down. It reveals to us that everything we thought we knew, and every way we thought things worked, and what we thought was important was in fact a construction of our culture and our mind. It shows us that there is so much more to this existence than we ever imagined. So perhaps the most important quality that we can bring to spiritual practice is a profound humility–which is an openness to the unknown.” —Craig HamiltonWelcome to Episode 13 of our podcast series! This episode is part two in a three-part series on the foundations of meditation.In "Foundations of Meditation - Part Two: Commitment, Humility, Environment, and Posture," Craig continues our exploration of the fundamentals necessary to establish a profound meditation practice rooted in our highest potentials.During our meditation journey, we often overlook the vital foundational elements that can build a strong container for deep practice. Sometimes, the meditation feels deeply fulfilling, but at other times, we encounter challenges like boredom, lack of focus, or distraction.By grounding our meditation in these foundational pillars, we can unlock the full potential of our practice.In this episode, Craig discusses four of these practice pillars... First, he explores how two inner foundations–commitment and humility–can support you in staying consistent with your practice and open to new experiences and insights.Then, he looks at two outer foundations–environment and posture–that can help you show up fully for each moment of practice, relaxed, alert and focused.Join us and learn how these essential pillars can support your meditation experience and bring greater consistency and depth to your practice.To access the full transcript of this episode and more resources, visit the episode page on https://www.MeditationChangesEverything.com.

“Anybody who aspires to awaken to their true nature must be willing to let go of everything that provides them with security, certainty, and familiarity . It doesn't mean it all goes away. We just have to let it go. We have to let go of our grasping onto anything at all. And that requires a passionate drive to awaken. We have to really want it.” —Craig Hamilton This episode is the first in a 3-part series where Craig explores what it means to anchor your practice in a set of foundational pillars. Once in place, these first principles of meditation make the difference between whether meditation is easy or hard and whether you get stuck on the surface or dive into the warm depths of your own meditative heart. Often when we approach meditation, we receive the instructions, sit down, and try to put them into practice. But for most of us, it's not enough to merely follow the instructions. There's a step we have to take before any of that if we want to reap the transformative fruits of our practice. We need to create a rock solid foundation for our practice. And when we do, it can make all the difference. In Part One of this series, Craig focuses on two foundations that can empower and fuel your practice: motivation and intention. When our motivation to practice is paired with a strong intention, it can light a fire within us, providing fuel and passion for our growth and development. Craig also explores how to get out from under the critical voice in our head—the one that often dominates and dampens our meditation. This helps us cultivate the playful, experimental, and curious spirit we need to nurture for our practice to deepen and thrive. To access the full transcript of this episode and more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.

When Os Alvarez speaks of the newfound emotional intimacy he now knows in his relationships and the power of living from his heart, you can feel the depth of his heart as he speaks. Os had a profoundly life-changing experience at the Hoffman Process in 2019. As he saw the effect that his childhood patterns had on his childhood and adult life, he came to find great compassion for the beauty of the child that still lives within him. Os now brings the power of this intimacy to his work as a personal and business strategist. The son of a prominent Venezuelan politician whose name he was given, Os shares stories of the difficulties he experienced growing up in this environment. While his family was very loving and supportive, life was challenging growing up under these circumstances. As an adult, these patterns eventually caused what Os calls existential suffering. In 2014, Os divorced. In 2015, his best friend and business partner, a person he loved and was very close to, died from cancer. Before these events, he experienced a panic attack for the first time. But these two losses pushed Os to start on a journey. He began to meditate. He went to Costa Rica to try Ahyuasca. And then, he found the Hoffman Process. Os shares that during the weekend after the Process, he felt his heart fully open. But even more than this, the Process gave him a framework and tools to take into his life moving forward so he could continue the work to transform patterns and come to appreciate seeing his blind spots. If you ask Os what the most profound change is in his life now, it is his relationships - the people and the intimacy in them. He recently married again, and on that day he felt gratitude for these beautiful, emotionally intimate relationships. This podcast is about bringing the transformation we experienced during the Process into our lives so that this transformation can radiate into the greater world. Os' story is a beautiful example of Love's Everyday Radius. More about Os Alvarez: Os Alvarez is more than just a personal and business strategist; he's a companion on your journey to success and fulfillment. With a deep-seated commitment to helping founders and entrepreneurs flourish both in business and in life, Os brings a unique blend of authenticity and expertise to the table. His own transformative experience, transitioning from a scripted life fueled by ambition to one imbued with meaning and purpose, catalyzed by the loss of his closest friend, ignited a passion for guiding others toward their truest selves. As co-founder of The Real Authentic Way, Goodness Education, and The Local Leaders Collective, Os creates spaces where individuals can authentically connect and thrive. Os serves as a trusted coach for members of esteemed organizations like Young Presidents' Organization (YPO) and Entrepreneurs Organization (EO), while also lending his guidance as an Endeavor Miami Mentor. A graduate of Yale University with an MBA in Finance and Strategy, Os resides in Miami, where his dedication to holistic growth and genuine connection permeates every aspect of his work.

“Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind, and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.” - B.K.S. Iyengar. I have changed many habits over the past 20 years, where I practice mind, body, and spirit daily so I and my business can thrive. It took me a long time to consider self-care a necessity, not a luxury.  Initially, I thought taking time for myself was selfish, and I felt like I was letting all the people around me, including my family, down.      We are all works in progress.  We must keep reiterating to build our best habits and sustain a healthy, happy, long life.   YouTube: https://youtu.be/LfRANjgMcJA   About Dr. Greg Hammer:  Dr. Hammer's book, GAIN Without Pain: The Happiness Handbook for Health Care Professionals, focuses on the four pillars of Dr. Hammer's meditation methodology: Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Non-Judgment to promote overall well-being and harmony between the mind and body.     Dr. Hammer has established himself as a guiding light for numerous physicians facing burnout in their respective fields.

In this episode, Alyssa Goldberg returns to talk about her journey as a new yoga teacher and why feedback and reflection are so important when planning yoga classes. She shares how she pays attention to how her students react and engage during class, using this information to improve her teaching.

While she values both consistency and creativity, Alyssa stresses the importance of getting feedback from students and other teachers to keep growing.

In this episode, Byron is back to talk about making smooth transitions in yoga sequences, focusing on the importance of breathing and pacing. He explains how techniques like ujjayi breath can help connect movement and breath. Byron suggests that teachers use their voice effectively, starting classes with an introduction to ujjayi breath. While sometimes challenging poses are included, Byron emphasizes the importance of moving smoothly between poses rather than just focusing on hard ones. He gives examples of tricky transitions, stressing the need to stay balanced and coordinated. Byron also talks about the importance of giving clear instructions during transitions to keep students focused. Byron mentions that different teachers have their own way of giving instructions, but using basic steps can help everyone follow along. Overall, the goal is to create a stable and welcoming environment for all students during yoga practice. Finally, Byron explains the different parts of the breathing cycle to help deepen the connection with the practice. Listen to the full episode for more details.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Melodie Beatty, “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity…. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events.” I love this quote because it reminds me that life is about perspective.     Do you remember the artist Bob Ross?  He would say that every mistake he made was a happy accident because, by the end of the show's episode, it helped him create the beautiful painting we all witnessed come to life.    YouTube: https://youtu.be/eEnlSdXeeQg   About Dr. Greg Hammer:   Dr. Hammer's book, GAIN Without Pain: The Happiness Handbook for Health Care Professionals, focuses on the four pillars of Dr. Hammer's meditation methodology: Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Non-Judgment to promote overall well-being and harmony between the mind and body.    Dr. Hammer has established himself as a guiding light for numerous physicians facing burnout in their respective fields.

I hear people of my generation criticizing the younger generations. In this week's Meditation & Healing Circle, we come together to release our judgments and pray for them to emerge as the leaders our future world needs. I was speaking with a young friend the other day about the number of young people struggling with severe depression and suicidal tendencies. In the US, we think of the fear of mass shootings as a main factor. This is a contributing factor, and yet the young woman I was speaking with is from another country where they do not experience mass shootings. So what is happening with our youth? Our world is evolving and the youth are coming into this realm equipped to thrive in the world of the future. If our future is one of love and compassion, living more closely aligned to the soul and connection with Source, then our children are going to struggle in fundamental ways with the cruelty and density of this plane. Those who try to force archaic beliefs and structures onto our children are making it difficult for them to know their value and bring forth the gifts they have been given to govern an evolved planet. The moving parts need to come together in harmony so they can survive the effects of today's world and grow into their adulthood with the gifts and beauty they are here to bring. Our future world cannot be governed as our past world has been. Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle to offer prayers and support for our future leaders and the future of our planet. We also seek to release our own misunderstandings and judgments so we may see more clearly the path forward. You're invited to join us LIVE for The Meditation & Healing Circle - every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT. When you join live, you can stay on after the recorded meditation for Q&A, support and discussion. http://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour, we welcome Stanford School of Medicine professor, physician, best-selling author, mindfulness expert, and innovator of the GAIN method, Greg Hammer, MD. Join us as Dr. Hammer shares wisdom to GAIN Keys to Nonjudgment and discover the life-enhancing rewards that begin to arise in your life.Most of us admirably strive to be “nonjudgmental” towards others. Coming from a place of nonjudgment allows us to see the best in others without letting our own biases get in the way. However, in order to become less judgmental, we need to change how we think about ourselves and the world around us. Dr. Hammer illustrates how we often make quick judgments every day about everything we see and put these things into categories, such as healthy/ unhealthy, affordable/ expensive, and good/ bad. And how much more often do we make judgments about ourselves?Discover the many benefits of nonjudgement, tips for implementing it into your life and learn how mindfulness, or living in the present moment, gives us the space to practice nonjudgment. First, we acknowledge how often we judge and that it is not necessary to judge. Then we can practice living in the present and accepting the world, ourselves, and others as they are. It's an enlightening hour from beginning to end as we learn about the benefits of nonjudgement, the problems that arise from judgement and realize how simple tactics of mindfulness can lead the way to a healthier and happier life.Greg Hammer, MD is a Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, pediatric intensive care physician, pediatric anesthesiologist, mindfulness expert, and the author of GAIN without Pain: The Happiness Handbook for Health Care Professionals.
