Fashion Week may spotlight bold heels, sculpted silhouettes, and statement accessories—but once the runway lights fade, a deeper question remains: what are these trends doing to our bodies? Dr. Sherry McAllister, president of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress and author of Adjusted Reality: Supercharge Your Whole-Being for Optimal Living and Longevity, brings more than 25 years of clinical expertise to the conversation. After attending Fashion Week this year, Dr. McAllister shares eye-opening insights on how fashion choices—on the runway and in everyday life—affect posture, spinal alignment, breathing, and long-term health. From how high heels can dramatically increase spinal load, to the hidden strain caused by handbags and tight clothing, she explains how small, intentional adjustments can help anyone move with greater ease, confidence, and longevity. Blending real-world observations from conversations with New Yorkers during Fashion Week with practical, science-backed guidance, Dr. McAllister offers a fresh perspective at the intersection of style, whole-being health, and presence—proving that looking good doesn't have to come at the cost of feeling good.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.

Bishop Gruss: When we wait on God, we open ourselves up to a deeper intimacy with Him, even in the midst of uncertainty.You can view previous reflections here: https://saginaw.org/advent

True humility is not performed before people; it is practised before God. This devotion reveals how fasting strips away self-reliance, exposes the heart, and creates the posture God promises to dwell with, reviving the humble and restoring the contrite.This devotional was aired on Radio HCI Today via the WeLove Radio App.

It is FORE Friday, folks! The weekend is on the tee, the fairways are calling, and we are here to get your mind right before you take that first swing on Saturday morning.I'm your host, Daniel Guest, and today we are talking about a tragedy I see on the driving range every single week. It's the tragedy of hard work... applied to the wrong problem.If you've ever practiced for three hours, hit 200 balls, and walked away hitting it worse than when you started... this episode is for you. Let's tee it up."The Trap: The Whac-A-Mole GameHost: "So, here is the scenario. You played last weekend, and you were slicing the ball off the planet. You go home, you open up YouTube, and you search 'How to stop a slice.'You find a great tip. The pro says, 'You're coming over the top, so you need to drop your hands inside.' You go to the range, you grind on dropping your hands inside, and suddenly... you start hooking it into the parking lot. Or worse, you start shanking it.Why? Because you were trying to fix a symptom, not the cause."Host: "In golf instruction, many call this 'Whac-A-Mole.'You see the club face is open? You try to flip your hands to close it.You see a 'chicken wing' left arm? You try to glue your elbow to your ribs.But here is the hard truth: 90% of what you feel and see in your swing is a reaction, not an action."Key Takeaway: Your body is smart. It is constantly compensating. If you try to fix the compensation (the symptom) without fixing the root cause, your body will just invent a new compensation that is usually worse.The Concept: The Big DominoHost: "So, how do we stop wasting time? We have to find the Big Domino.I want you to imagine a row of dominos.Domino 1 is your Grip.Domino 2 is your Setup.Domino 3 is your Takeaway.Domino 10 is that ugly Chicken Wing at impact.If you spend all your time trying to fix Domino 10 (the chicken wing), you are fighting a losing battle, because Dominos 1 through 9 have already fallen over and pushed it there.You have to work on the earliest fault in the chain."Host: "Let me give you a real-world example. I had a student recently who was desperate to fix his 'over-the-top' move. He had been trying to swing out to the right for months.I looked at his swing. His grip was incredibly weak (turned too far left). Because his grip was weak, the clubface was open. Because the face was open, his brain knew that if he swung from the inside, he'd hit it 50 yards right. So, his brain forced him to come over the top just to pull the ball back into the fairway.The 'over-the-top' move wasn't the fault. It was the only thing saving him!We fixed the grip (The Big Domino). Suddenly, the face was square. His brain said, 'Okay, I don't need to pull this anymore,' and his swing path straightened out naturally. We fixed the grip, and the swing path fixed itself."The Action Plan for the WeekendHost: "So, for this FORE Friday, here is my challenge to you. I want you to stop guessing.If you are heading to the range this weekend, do not just start trying random tips you saw on Instagram. 1. Record your swing. You cannot fix what you cannot see. 2. Look at the setup first. Grip, Alignment, Stance, Posture. This is usually where the 'Big Domino' lives. 3. Verify, don't guess. If you think your problem is your downswing, prove it. But I'd bet you a sleeve of Pro V1s that the problem actually started in your takeaway."Host: "And if you can't find the fault? Ask for help. That is what we are here for at Imagen Golf. Stop being the hero who tries to perform surgery on themselves. Let a doctor look at the MRI."Host: "Golf is hard enough without working on the wrong things. Be efficient with your practice. Find the root cause, knock down that first domino, and watch the rest of your swing fall into place.Have a fantastic weekend, hit 'em straight, and as always... here's to playing the game you've always imagined.See you next week!"

Send us a text In this episode, Chelsey unpacks how deep trust in the Lord isn't just theological—it's practical. From working six days and trusting God to provide on the seventh, to learning how that same surrender spills over into how we trust our husbands, this is a call to stop striving and start truly believing. God's order brings peace. And obedience brings overflow. When we trust Him, we stop needing to control every outcome—in our business, in our home, and in our marriage. This episode is a rally cry for the high-achieving woman ready to trade control for supernatural provision.  Support the showChelsey Holm | the Wife Coach "I help Christian wives surrender fully, live Spirit-led, and be set apart according to God's design in marriage, motherhood, and life."Grab my free training here: https://chelsey.coach/highlevelwife-blueprint 2x certified Coach (John Maxwell Leadership, Kristen Boss SSLS)10+ years coaching experienceNASM-certified in Personal Training and NutritionMom of 5, Army wife 16 yearsSupport the show!The Chelsey Holm Podcast (The Chelsey Holm Podcast) It's hard to give your best when you don't feel your best- replenish your health with Ready Set Wellness: https://us.shaklee.com/site/chelseynoel/Nutrition/Ready-Set-Wellness/Ready-Set-Wellness-Bundle/p/89599

Comment transformer notre posture intérieure grâce à la pratique de l'autolouange ?Récemment, on m'a parlé de l'autolouange. Un mot qui m'a d'abord surprise, avant d'éveiller ma curiosité.C'est dans cet élan que je suis allée à la rencontre de Marie Milis, que j'ai le plaisir de recevoir. Mathématicienne, pédagogue, anthropologue et coach, elle a fondé l'Institut de l'Autolouange. Elle a conçu, avec Bénédicte Deleplanque, le Coffret d'autolouange paru aux éditions Le Courrier du Livre.Loin de l'auto-flatterie, l'autolouange est une pratique ancienne et universelle, présente à la source de nombreuses cultures. Elle invite à développer l'estime de soi, à créer une vie à notre ressemblance, à grandir en confiance – envers nous-mêmes comme envers les autres – et à cheminer vers plus d'humanité.Dans cet épisode de Flowsophie, nous allons explorer ce qu'est la pratique de l'autolouange, comment elle agit sur notre rapport à nous-mêmes et aux autres, et en quoi elle peut transformer notre posture intérieure.Vous pouvez retrouver Marie Milis : - Site : https://mariemilis.net/- Site de l'Institut de l'autolouange : https://www.institutdelautolouange.com/- Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/marie.milis.7Crédit photo :  Frank BruynbroekBonne écoute !------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Si vous avez apprécié cet épisode, et que vous souhaitez soutenir gratuitement le podcast, n'hésitez pas laisser 5 étoiles et un commentaire sur Apple podcast

He and Aaron talk about postural patterns, personality masks, emotional awareness, and how quieting internal "noise" can help reconnect with truth. They also cover breathwork, stillness, and redefining strength through practice, not performance.OUR GUESTIdo Portal is a practitioner, teacher, educator, and consultant, working with a transformation and evolution-based approach through the medium of Movement in its various forms—physical, emotional, and mental. Ido is responsible for creating and promoting the worldwide phenomenon called Movement Culture, a modern paradigm shift in how humans perceive physical practices. This approach allows for a potent transfer of knowledge, tools, and methods across disciplines and expands the perception of movement beyond isolated terms like 'Athlete,' 'Dancer,' 'Fighter,' and 'Sports Person.'Ido's primary focus remains is his own practice, with secondary emphasis on spreading his teachings to an ever-growing community of practitioners worldwide. Over the years, Ido has collaborated with professional athletes from the MLB, NFL, European Champions League soccer teams, as well as actors, dancers, musicians, Olympians, UFC fighters, corporate giants, the film industry, and government bodies.IDO PORTAL

La Communauté économique des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest « rejette catégoriquement le chronogramme de transition » en Guinée-Bissau. Lundi, l'organisation régionale a confirmé son désaccord avec la durée de la période d'exception proposée par les putschistes. La semaine dernière, la junte au pouvoir a adopté une charte de transition de 12 mois, jugée trop longue par la Cédéao. Dans son compte-rendu final, l'organisation a rappelé son intransigeance face au coup d'État militaire à répétition dans la zone, et s'est félicitée de la riposte régionale immédiate face à la tentative de putsch au Bénin. Le politologue béninois Mathias Hounkpe, membre de l'Institut électoral pour une démocratie durable en Afrique, livre son analyse. Il répond aux questions de Sidy Yansané. RFI : Dans son communiqué final, après la clôture du sommet, la Cédéao condamne fermement le coup d'État en Guinée-Bissau. Mais surtout, elle rejette catégoriquement le chronogramme de transition de douze mois, annoncé par la junte. Comment vous analysez cette position ? Mathias Hounkpe : Etant donné que personne n'avait rien à reprocher au processus électoral, ça veut dire que si on le veut aujourd'hui, même dans un délai de trois mois, au plus six mois, on peut organiser les élections. Et donc je pense que cette posture de la Cédéao est plutôt, de mon point de vue, la meilleure posture qu'elle pouvait avoir. C'est une posture qui diffère par rapport aux multiples coups d'État qu'on a pu constater dans la dernière décennie ? Pour les autres coups d'État, la Cédéao était plutôt dans la posture non seulement de condamnation, mais de négociation avec les auteurs des coups pour décider de la durée. Cette fois-ci, même si la durée fixée par ceux qui ont fait le coup d'État est relativement courte, la Cédéao estime quand même qu'il faut organiser les élections dans un délai encore plus court. Dimanche, à l'ouverture du sommet, le président de la Commission, Omar Alieu Touray, a affirmé que le coup d'État empêché au Bénin a montré concrètement l'importance de la solidarité régionale. Et pourtant, quelques jours avant, il concédait que la Cédéao était « en état d'urgence », notamment à cause des putschs à répétition… Ce qui s'est passé au Bénin, ça a été une surprise pour quasiment tout le monde. Nous ne sommes pas habitués à ce genre de réaction de la part de la Cédéao en cas de tentative de coup d'État. Donc le président de la Commission Omar Touray a été lui aussi obligé de reconnaître qu'il ne s'attendait pas à ce genre de réaction. Même s'il se contredit, les faits étaient si inattendus qu'il a dû en tenir compte dans son analyse lors du Sommet. Vous considérez que cette intervention militaire régionale illustre un nouveau paradigme de la Cédéao ? Ou alors c'est une exception, du fait de la proximité avérée du dirigeant béninois avec ses homologues nigérian, ivoirien et français, ce dernier ayant d'ailleurs reconnu avoir apporté un appui logistique ? Quand vous lisez le compte-rendu de cette session, la Conférence des chefs d'État et de gouvernement charge la Commission de la Cédéao de proposer un cadre permettant une intervention rapide en cas de coup d'État. Ça veut dire que même si le 7 décembre 2025 était une exception, désormais la Cédéao est consciente qu'il est possible, si on est préparé, d'intervenir rapidement pour empêcher les coups d'État d'aller à leur terme. En revanche, aucune mention des changements constitutionnels en série ou des opposants écartés lors des élections, comme en Côte d'Ivoire, en Guinée, au Bénin, pour ne citer qu'eux. Ce sont pourtant les principaux arguments qui sont utilisés par les militaires pour justifier leurs coups de force ? Quand je lis correctement le compte-rendu, je vois de manière implicite la reconnaissance par les chefs d'État et de gouvernement des problèmes dans la sous-région en matière de respect des droits humains et d'organisation d'élections inclusives et compétitives. Rappelez-vous des événements récents en Tanzanie. Ce n'était pas un coup d'État. On a parlé de plus de 700 morts dans les manifestations parce qu'une bonne partie de la classe politique a été exclue du jeu électoral et démocratique. Si l'on veut la paix et la stabilité de la sous-région, il faut non seulement condamner les coups d'État et prévoir des mécanismes pour les empêcher, mais il faut également éviter les situations où on pourra jouer avec les libertés et droits fondamentaux des citoyens et créer des conditions d'élections non inclusives et non compétitives. Pourtant, de manière explicite, la Cédéao prend note des élections passées en Côte d'Ivoire, celles à venir au Bénin et salue la présidentielle prévue à la fin du mois en Guinée, alors même que dans ces trois pays, des opposants d'importance ont été écartés, emprisonnés ou exilés. N'est-ce pas là une contradiction majeure ? Je dirais que la Cédéao cherche par des voies diplomatiques à dire les choses sans vraiment les dire. C'est très important d'avoir mentionné dans ce même compte-rendu le rejet des récents coups de force et la nécessité d'organiser des processus électoraux inclusifs et compétitifs. Je suis resté un peu sur ma faim, justement, car de la même manière que les dirigeants chargent la Commission de créer un cadre permettant une intervention rapide en cas de coup d'État, je me serais attendu à ce qu'ils la chargent également de prévoir des mécanismes permettant d'interpeller les pays dans lesquels on pratique l'exclusion en matière électorale et où on réprime les libertés et droits fondamentaux des citoyens.

Un épisode un peu spécial aujourd'hui car enregistré en public, en live depuis UBeeLab, l'incubateur étudiant de l'Université de Bordeaux, en partenariat avec Pépite ECA. Pour cette table ronde, Guillaume Commagnac reçoit deux entrepreneurs qu'il avait déjà invités il y a quelques années.Manon Loustau, CEO et co fondatrice de Libu, qui développe des solutions d'éclairage circadien pour remettre “le bon rythme” dans nos espaces de travail et certains environnements exigeants (médical, travail de nuit). Pierre Husson, CEO et co fondateur de Rematch, la plateforme vidéo du sport amateur qui permet de filmer, monter et partager automatiquement les meilleurs moments des matchs, puis de les retrouver au bon endroit, pour le bon club. Dans cet échange, on parle sans filtre du passage “du démarrage à l'accélération”. Le moment où il faut accepter de sortir de sa zone de confort, structurer une équipe, recruter, apprendre à dire non. Pour eux il y a aussi eu l'étape de lever des fonds, gérer la relation investisseurs, parfois changer les plans prévus pour finalement réaliser une acquisition ou ouvrir un nouveau pays. Et surtout, tenir mentalement dans la durée, encaisser les coups, rester un “bouclier” pour ses équipes sans oublier de célébrer les victoires.Sujets abordés :Entreprendre jeune : Posture, crédibilité, naïveté utile, rôle de l'entourage.Product market fit : Ce que ça veut dire quand ton marché est immature (Libu) ou quand tu pars “terrain” par “terrain” (Rematch). Recrutement et structuration : Les erreurs, l'apprentissage, l'importance de l'écosystème. Financement : Subventions et prêts d'honneur vs ouverture de capital, crowdfunding & levées successives. Accélération : Croissance en France, expansion aux États Unis et beau partenariat comme Nike (Rematch), acquisition d'une société côté Libu.

In this episode, we take a candid, strategically grounded look at Ireland's extraordinary rise as a global supply chain hub — and the uncomfortable truth that our national defence posture has not kept pace with our economic importance.Ireland is no longer a peripheral European state. It is a critical node in global networks for pharmaceuticals, biopharma, medtech, cloud computing, aircraft leasing, and transatlantic digital infrastructure. And yet, our defence, security, and intelligence capabilities remain rooted in a completely different era.In this episode we explore:How Ireland became indispensable to the global economyThe rise of pharma and biopharma, now €116bn in exports and essential to global medicine.Ireland as the digital gateway between Europe and North America — hosting major cloud providers and critical subsea cables.The growth of medtech, establishing world-class hubs like Galway.Ireland's dominance in aviation finance, managing over half of the world's leased aircraft.The emergence of HQs, control towers, and orchestration centres that coordinate global flows from here.The strategic contradiction Ireland must confrontDespite this centrality, Ireland maintains a 20th-century defence posture:Almost no air defence capability.Critically weak maritime surveillance.No foreign intelligence service.Limited cyber capacity despite massive digital exposure.A cultural and political reliance on “being looked after” by others.Why this mismatch now threatens our economic modelWe explore how:Country risk is quietly being reassessed by global firms.Insurers, regulators, and ratings agencies are factoring in Ireland's strategic vulnerabilities.EU partners are increasingly uneasy with Ireland's under-investment in national security.Hostile actors already understand Ireland's value — and its weaknesses.What businesses will do if Ireland does not adaptNot by dramatic exits, but by a slow, steady diversification of:Cloud workloadsControl tower functionsHigh-criticality operationsData resilience strategiesWhat Ireland must do — neutral or notA modern state requires modern capability.We outline the essential elements of:Active neutrality (if Ireland remains neutral), orIntegrated security contribution (if Ireland aligns with NATO/EU frameworks).In both cases, the message is clear: Ireland must develop credible defence, intelligence, and cyber capacity - not to become a military power, but to protect what we have built.The Macro-to-Micro Strategist PerspectiveThis episode takes a whole-systems view: linking national security with supply chain resilience, investment flows, board-level risk perception, and Ireland's long-term economic positioning.It translates geopolitical shifts into concrete operational implications for businesses — showing how something as macro as Ireland's defence posture cascades into micro-level decisions in cloud architecture, pharma production, medtech planning, and capital allocation.Ireland has spent four decades building extraordinary strategic relevance.Now it must protect it.

Bishop Gruss: In this season of Advent, have you been waiting for Christmas or longing for Jesus? This week we will reflect upon Mary's posture of waiting. The length of an average pregnancy is forty weeks.  After Mary gave her fiat – her surrender – to bearing the Son of God, she still had to wait nine long months before she could finally cradle him in her arms.  One can just imagine Mary's excitement and anticipation during those months of pregnancy. But we know that she didn't passively sit around waiting for the days pass by.  

Your jaw influences far more than your face. This episode shows you how jaw strength shapes cognition, posture, airway health, sleep, metabolism, and overall human performance. You will learn how targeted jaw training increases cranial blood flow, improves neuromuscular coordination, strengthens airway stability, and stimulates facial muscles that modern diets no longer challenge. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey talks with Brandon Harris, founder and CEO of Jawzrsize. Brandon developed the device after multiple severe injuries, including a shattered jaw, months of immobilization, and a 13 day coma. His recovery forced him to rebuild his jaw strength from zero and revealed how deeply the jaw affects posture, oral health, proprioception, and cognitive function. Brandon's experience as a mixed martial artist and his early training of the masseter muscle guided the creation of a safe, medical grade jaw resistance system that now has small clinical data supporting improvements in strength, facial tone, Bruxism relief, and TMJ balance. You will hear how jaw alignment influences the nervous system, why weak jaws contribute to sleep apnea, how saliva flow ties oral health to gut health, and why resistance training for the jaw produces structural benefits the modern soft diet fails to provide. Host Dave Asprey explains how full range jaw training supports cranial stimulation, nitric oxide signaling, fascia activation, posture correction, and neuromuscular coordination throughout the body. This episode also explores how jaw mechanics connect to biohacking principles like brain optimization, sleep optimization, longevity, neuroplasticity, metabolic signaling, and strength based anti aging. This is essential listening for anyone focused on biohacking, human performance, posture mechanics, airway stability, TMJ function, oral microbiome health, anti aging, supplements that support structural function, nervous system training, and practical tools that create fast visible results. You'll Learn: • Why jaw strength acts as a foundational marker for performance and longevity • How jaw alignment shapes posture, proprioception, and neuromuscular firing • Why weak jaws contribute to sleep apnea, snoring, and airway collapse • How jaw training improves Bruxism, clenching, and TMJ tension • What increased cranial blood flow does for cognition and focus • How saliva production supports oral and gut health • Why modern diets shrink facial structure and weaken masseter strength • How jaw resistance training improves facial tone and reduces wrinkle depth • Why athletes use jaw activation to sharpen hand eye coordination • How range of motion training strengthens bone through piezoelectric signaling • Why even five minutes a day creates noticeable results in facial tone and alignment Thank you to our sponsors! -HeartMath | Go to https://www.heartmath.com/dave to save 15% off. -fatty15 | Go to https://fatty15.com/dave and save an extra $15 when you subscribe with code DAVE. -Quantum Upgrade | Go to https://quantumupgrade.io/Dave for a free trial.

Dr. Brennan Spiegel, Director of Health Services Research at Cedars-Sinai and Professor of Medicine and Public Health at UCLA, author of the book Pull, explains why illness is often a failure to manage gravity. He describes how our relationship with gravity defines strength, balance, digestion, mental stability, and emotional health.  Take the Gravotype Quiz at BrennanSpiegelMD.com to identify how your body manages gravity. Key Insights and Action Steps — Dr. Brennan Spiegel "Every single cell of your body evolved from this force of gravity. Physics came first, and biology came second." Illness arises when we fail to manage gravity. Every organ, tendon, and cell depends on that relationship. "When you stand up straight and lift your diaphragm, it pulls up this sack of potatoes that we all have in our belly. When you open up the gut, it opens up digestion." Posture determines how well the gut, diaphragm, and circulation function. Sitting compresses digestion and lowers energy. "Your balance and relationship to gravity is a predictor of how long you're going to live." Balance, grip strength, and posture are measurable indicators of longevity. "The inner ear is like a gyroscope constantly keeping track of your position in relation to gravity." The nervous system continuously measures gravity. Inner-ear disturbances can create dizziness, anxiety, and panic. "When you're depressed, you can't get up out of bed. Your body is slumped over. It's almost like there's so much gravity pulling on your body, it's like you're in a black hole." Depression mirrors an excessive gravitational load. Emotional heaviness is a physical experience of being pulled down. "Strong negative emotional experiences can permanently change the way the brain forms… the mind has learned to be pulled down emotionally, physically, socially." Childhood trauma reshapes how the brain perceives gravity, making the body feel heavier and slower to rise. "The feet are a gravity management surface… only five percent of the body's surface area but holding one hundred percent of the weight." Feet are the interface between body and planet. Strengthening them restores alignment and balance. "Your relationship to the planet, both latitudinally and altitudinally, will determine your health." Altitude, light, and environment influence serotonin, immunity, and microbiome function. "Serotonin itself is a gravity management substance." Serotonin regulates mood and physical stability, linking emotional and gravitational balance. "When it's stimulated, it activates the rest and digest phase and helps release serotonin." The vagus nerve is the primary connection between body and mind, calming the system and improving serotonin flow. "I pretended I was on a bigger planet… I became stronger and stood up straighter." Carrying additional resistance through weighted movement improves posture, strength, and metabolism. "When we lay down to sleep, we give our body a break… the blood easily flows into our brain and flushes out amyloid." Sleep restores gravitational equilibrium and supports brain recovery. "Gravity doesn't change, but your relationship to gravity does." Long-term health depends on strengthening that relationship physically, mentally, and emotionally. Action Items from Dr. Brennan Spiegel  1. Identify your gravotype. Take the 16-question quiz at BrennanSpiegelMD.com to learn which of the eight gravotypes you belong to and how your body manages gravity. 2. Build gravity fortitude. Strengthen the muscles and bones that keep you upright — especially your back, core, and legs. "When you stand up straight and lift your diaphragm, it pulls up the gut and opens digestion." 3. Stand tall and move often. Avoid long hours of sitting. Use a standing desk or take frequent standing breaks. Sitting compresses the abdomen, slows digestion, and reduces serotonin. 4. Strengthen the diaphragm and posture daily. Practice standing with shoulders back and chin level to engage the diaphragm and improve breathing and gut function. 5. Train your balance. Test and improve balance by standing on one leg, walking heel-to-toe, or using a balance board. "Your balance and relationship to gravity is a predictor of how long you're going to live." 6. Practice grip and hanging strength. Hang from a bar daily. Aim for 30 seconds, then increase gradually toward 2 minutes. Even short "dead hangs" improve shoulder, spine, and nervous-system alignment. 7. Use light weighted resistance. Try a weighted vest or light ankle weights while walking or doing chores. "I pretended I was on a bigger planet… I became stronger and stood up straighter." 8. Walk, run, or train barefoot or in minimalist shoes (safely). Let the feet feel the ground to activate stabilizing muscles. "When you ground your foot, everything else pulls up straight from there." 9. Reconnect with the ground. Spend time standing or walking on natural surfaces (grass, sand, earth) when possible. 10. Stay hydrated. Keep enough fluid in your body to "pump blood and oxygen up into the brain." Dehydration weakens gravity tolerance and causes dizziness or fatigue. 11. Regulate the nervous system. Do slow, controlled breathing through pursed lips to stimulate the vagus nerve and calm the body. "Slow meditative breathing activates the rest-and-digest phase." 12. Consider gentle vagus-nerve stimulation. Use only safe methods such as breathing, humming, or medical devices under supervision. Avoid carotid massage unless advised by a doctor. 13. Strengthen vestibular and proprioceptive awareness. Engage activities that challenge coordination: yoga, dance, gymnastics, tai chi, or balance training. 14. Manage mental gravity. Notice emotional heaviness as a physical sensation; practice posture, breathing, and grounding to counteract "mental black holes." 15. Use awe and nature to elevate mood. Spend time in nature, watch sunsets, or listen to music that evokes awe. "Feeling part of something greater than yourself elevates mood and serotonin." 16. Increase natural serotonin. Seek sunlight, exercise outdoors, connect socially, and reduce processed foods. Serotonin helps both mood and muscle tone to "fight gravity physically and mentally." 17. Optimize sleep for gravitational recovery. Sleep 7–8 hours flat or slightly inclined if you have reflux. Avoid heavy meals within 2 hours of sleep. Limit screens before bed. "When we lay down to sleep, we give our body a break… the blood easily flows into our brain." 18. Manage reflux and digestion. If prone to reflux, raise the head of the bed about 10 degrees or use a wedge pillow. Sleep on your left side to reduce acid reaching the esophagus. 19. Support circulation through movement. Use your muscles as pumps, walk regularly, stretch calves, and move legs during travel or desk work to prevent stagnation. 20. Avoid chronic compression. Reduce time bent over laptops or phones; keep screens at eye level to protect diaphragm and digestion. 21. Engage with natural environments. Nature exposure increases serotonin and improves gravity resilience. "Being in green spaces is mood-elevating because that's what we evolved with." 22. Monitor environment and altitude. If you live or work at high altitude, be mindful of mood or sleep changes and adjust oxygen exposure and sunlight time. 23. Balance convenience with movement. Spiegel warns that modern comfort, constant sitting, processed food, artificial environments, represents "our species losing the battle against gravity." 24. Reframe health. Adopt the mindset that "gravity doesn't change, but your relationship to gravity does." Everything, from mood to digestion, is part of managing that relationship.   Get Brennan's book, Pull, here: https://shorturl.at/XjNt3   Claim your free gift: Free gift #1 McKinsey & BCG winning resume www.FIRMSconsulting.com/resumePDF Free gift #2 Breakthrough Decisions Guide with 25 AI Prompts www.FIRMSconsulting.com/decisions Free gift #3 Five Reasons Why People Ignore Somebody www.FIRMSconsulting.com/owntheroom Free gift #4 Access episode 1 from Build a Consulting Firm, Level 1 www.FIRMSconsulting.com/build Free gift #5 The Overall Approach used in well-managed strategy studies www.FIRMSconsulting.com/OverallApproach Free gift #6 Get a copy of Nine Leaders in Action, a book we co-authored with some of our clients: www.FIRMSconsulting.com/gift

Pastor Zack closes out the year-long House of Discipleship series by exploring what it means to live as disciples of Jesus. Discipleship is not just about knowledge, classes, or programs—it's about life-on-life learning, walking with others, and giving away what we've been given.

Reality, Grief, and Hope: Our Posture of Lament challenges us to thoughtfully examine the intersection of faith and politics, exploring the role of the church in society amidst cultural challenges. From some of the greats (Walter Brueggemann and D Willy), we're able to map out a posture to hold in these time. From naming the reality we see around us, lamenting and grieving what we've seen and living in the hope of what's to come. In this episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford unpack the complexities of Christian nationalism, drawing parallels between biblical prophetic critiques and modern-day issues. Through a lens of cruciformity, they discuss how the teachings of Jesus call us to navigate cultural issues with humility, justice, and critical thinking. The hosts engage in an honest conversation about the importance of lament, naming uncomfortable truths, and pursuing hope in a divided world. From the misuse of religious rhetoric to the church's prophetic responsibility, this episode invites listeners to wrestle with questions of faith, politics, and the transformative power of Jesus' example. As cultural norms shift, how can Christians embody the way of Christ without compromising integrity and compassion? Join this deep dive into theology, justice, and the pressing challenges of our time. Feel free to email in questions, engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram, or share your thoughts as we navigate these topics together. Let's pursue meaningful dialogue and learn from diverse perspectives as we reflect on what it means to follow Jesus in today's world.

In this episode, I talk about how to walk like you own the room. I share a story from my freshman year in college, when a coach tried to shame me for carrying myself with confidence—and why I refused to let that mindset stick. How you enter a room is the first test of your presence, long before you open your mouth. Weak men drift in like they're asking for permission; strong men step in with authority. I break down how to show that authority the right way, without arrogance and without saying a word. Show Notes: [04:39]#1 Posture tells the story. [11:05]#2 Pace creates presence.

Pastor Andy Cass A puzzle that's 99.9% finished is still 100% frustrating — because every piece matters. In this message, Legacy, Pastor Andy reminds us that God has called each of us to start, continue, and complete projects that will last beyond our lifetime. Through the stories of Abraham and Saul, we see two men, two trees, and two very different postures. Abraham planted a tamarisk tree — a symbol of faith, covenant, and legacy that would outlive him. Saul sat under a tamarisk tree — consumed by insecurity, fear, and self-preservation. One built a future; the other destroyed what was entrusted to him. TEXT: Genesis 21:33–34, 1 Samuel 22:6, Ephesians 2:10, Matthew 23:11–12, Colossians 3:23–24, Philippians 2:14–15 Big Questions: What project does God have for me to start? What project can I continue? What project does God have for me to complete? Abraham and Saul: Two Legacies, Two Trees Abraham planted a tamarisk tree — a symbol of faith, covenant, and hospitality. He looked forward, trusted God, and built something that would last. Saul sat under a tamarisk tree — a symbol of entitlement, fear, and isolation. He chose control over surrender, comfort over calling. The Contrast: Abraham's heart: humble, faithful, centered on God's promises. Saul's heart: insecure, prideful, disconnected from God's presence. Abraham planted; Saul uprooted. Posture & Attitude: Thanksgiving Gratitude Commitment Peace Reliance on the Holy Spirit and wise community Call to Action: Plant something that will outlast you — a faith, a family, a ministry, a legacy.

When was the last time you went up to someone you did not know and introduced yourself to that person?  As I mentioned last week, during this season of Advent, our reflections will look at four postures of our Blessed Mother. It is my hope that Mary will lead us into her heart, and guide us into a deeper experience of the Christmas mystery. This week we will look at Mary's posture of hospitality. It might even be seen as radical hospitality.

Iran's Aggressive Posture, Sanctions Evasion, and 'Fake Reform' — John Batchelor, Bill Roggio, Jonathan Sayeh— Sayeh characterizes Iran as an active predator state, systematically seizing commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz and progressively advancing its nuclear weapons program toward weapons-grade fissile material production. Batchelor documents that despite US sanctions regimes, Iran currently exports more petroleum than during the previous administration, suggesting inadequate enforcement rigor and possible sanctions evasion through intermediary nations. Sayeh characterizes Iranian regime tactics as employing "fake reform," superficially tolerating hijab violations while simultaneously intensifying internal security crackdowns, executions, and suppression of political dissent, creating a facade of liberalization masking deepening authoritarianism. 1870 TEHRAN

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the five key signs that your child's nervous system may be stuck in fight or flight mode. He explains how nervous system dysregulation shows up in the most basic life functions—eating, sleeping, breathing, and moving—and why these "neurological soft signs" often get misdiagnosed as food intolerances, allergies, or behavioral issues. Dr. Tony walks parents through what to look for at every age, from infants struggling to latch and soothe, to older kids dealing with anxiety, meltdowns, and sensory challenges. He also shares his top drug-free strategies for calming a dysregulated nervous system, including the power of getting outside, protecting bedtime routines, and the often-overlooked importance of parent co-regulation.-----Links & Resources:Enter the Podcast Giveaway and Win Free Prizes on Facebook or Instagram-----Key Topics & Timestamps(00:06:00) - The Neurological Soft Signs: Where dysregulation shows up first(00:07:00) - The Core Four: Eating, sleeping, breathing, and moving(00:14:00) - Breathing patterns and the gut-brain-immune connection(00:20:00) - Posture, motor tone, and sensory processing red flags(00:23:00) - Emotional Signs: Anxiety, meltdowns, and behavioral challenges(00:25:00) - How to Test For it: The INSiGHT Scans(00:27:00) - Dr. Tony's top tips for calming a dysregulated nervous system(00:30:00) - The Hidden Solution: Co-regulation starts with you-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Rebecca Grabill's conversion started in the most unexpected way: a panic attack. Since Rebecca also struggled with anxiety and agoraphobia, her husband suggested the Sacrament of Healing. Rebecca was unsure and decided to reach out to her parish. Overcome with emotion, Rebecca wept as she recounted her story to her parish priest. Although he had never administered the Anointing of the Sick for severe anxiety in his 40 years of priesthood, he believed it was best.  Rebecca received a supernatural gift she never could have imagined.   "I was able for the first time to be able to truly love God…to experience a passionate love for God that was and is like a consuming fire." Rebecca's heart is filled with gratitude for the blessing of healing. Listen to this Thanksgiving podcast and learn how you can have a posture of gratitude, too.

Thanksgiving is more than a holiday—it’s a lifestyle. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 calls us to “rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances,” showing that gratitude should be our daily posture. From small blessings like a morning cup of coffee to the vast gifts of God’s love, cultivating a heart of thankfulness transforms our perspective, lifts our spirits, and strengthens our relationship with Him. From all of us at Lifeaudio and Salem Media, Happy Thanksgiving. Highlights Gratitude is a daily choice, not a seasonal habit. Starting small—like noting one thing you’re thankful for each morning—can shift your mindset. Counting blessings outweighs burdens and fosters joy and contentment. God’s goodness and provision remain constant, even when circumstances are difficult. Journaling or listing gifts of God can deepen awareness of His work in your life. Practicing gratitude strengthens your heart, aligns your perspective with God’s will, and brings joy. God delights when His children acknowledge His blessings and rely on Him daily.

Full Transcript Below: Giving Thanks Isn’t a Day—It’s a Daily Posture By: Alexis A. Goring Bible Reading:“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”—1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV Here in the United States of America, the Thanksgiving holiday is upon us.It is a time to practice gratitude and share what we are thankful for in this life. Often during this time of year, people tend to be more appreciative and count their blessings from God. But giving thanks shouldn’t be an occasional event; it should be a daily posture. I’d like to share a story illustration that I heard a little while ago: A husband told his grumpy wife, who was feeling ungrateful every day, that she should give thanks for what she has. He presented a challenge: Every morning when you go to the kitchen to make your coffee, name one thing you are grateful for, then write it on a piece of paper and put that paper into this glass jar before you drink your coffee. His wife was angry at him, but followed his instructions, and for the first few days, all she could write was “coffee,” but a few days later, she realized that she also appreciated the sunlight. So, she put “sunshine” on the paper, and a day after that, she thought of something else and wrote it down. Before long, the jar was filled with notes of what she was grateful for, and her entire mood had lifted. Her mentality improved. As her gratitude grew, so did her positive attitude. My maternal grandma told me many years ago, “Gratitude will change your attitude. Take inventory of your blessings.” Her words ring true for me to this day. She was a wise woman. She was right because I found that when I remember to count my blessings instead of my burdens, I feel better as I realize how my blessings outweigh my burdens. When I focus on what’s going right in my life instead of what went wrong, I naturally start giving thanks to God. The Bible says that God wants us to “give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). This means that no matter what we face, we need to look for the silver lining. I believe that God can restore the most broken places and people in our lives when we put our hope in Him (Romans 8:28). Sometimes, we don’t see the resolution until we go home to Heaven. But no matter what happens here on Earth, the truth is that God is good all the time and He has good plans for our lives. He will never leave us nor forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:8). Thanks to God’s Son (Jesus Christ), we have the hope of eternity with our Creator when we put our faith in Him (Romans 10:13). There’s always something or someone to be grateful for, even if you are just happy that your heart is still beating or if you, like the woman in the story illustration above, are only grateful for your daily cup of coffee. Well then, that’s a start! Ann Voskamp wrote a book, One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are. Toward the end of it is a challenge for the reader to write one thousand things that they are grateful for. I accepted this challenge promptly by going to a Christian bookstore and buying a beautiful journal covered in a purple and pink design, then writing down what I was grateful for several times a week. My first entry in this journal was made on February 28, 2011. I wrote “Rainy days”. My last entry was made on September 23, 2017: “God’s love” being the thousandth thing I was grateful for that day. It most likely won’t take you six years to complete this gratitude challenge but I believe it will be worth it. When we give thanks to God, it strengthens our heart and soul. When we pray to Him and ask Him to meet our every need, He does so in His perfect time. When we thank Him for His provision, I believe it makes His heart smile and perhaps fills God with gratitude for creating humankind. So, as this Thanksgiving season is here, let’s pause at least once a day and think about all we are grateful for, then thank God for all of it and more. Such a practice will fill our hearts with joy and help us remember that our God is good all year round. In closing, I’d like you to listen to these songs: Song of Reflection #1: “Counting My Blessings” by Seph Schlueter. Song of Reflection #2: “Gratitude” by Brandon Lake.
