Why do some people freeze or panic under pressure, while others access clarity, calm, and even bliss? In this soul-expanding episode of The Catherine Plano Podcast, breathwork pioneer and best-selling author Dan Brulé shares how the simple act of breathing—done consciously—can rival the effects of psychedelics for emotional healing, energy regulation, and spiritual awakening. From training elite military personnel and Olympic athletes to guiding people into non-ordinary states of consciousness, Dan has dedicated his life to helping others use their breath as a tool for transformation. And in this conversation, he reveals just how accessible—and profound—this inner technology really is. This isn't just a conversation about calming down or improving your fitness. It's a masterclass in how breath can unlock emotional release, heal trauma, and expand consciousness—all without substances, rituals, or complicated techniques. Dan explores the breath as our first and last connection to life, the bridge between the conscious and subconscious mind, and the key to healing everything from childhood imprints to chronic stress. He also shares the origin of his fascination with breath—from a biblical story in Catholic school to near-death experiences and working with trauma survivors. Through grounded storytelling, scientific insights, and spiritual wisdom, Dan reveals: How breathwork mimics the effects of psychedelics—without substances or side effects Why your first breath at birth could be shaping your stress patterns today The real reason we unconsciously hold our breath—and how it sabotages our health and joy How to read your breath like a mirror of your emotional and energetic state The practice of “cyclical sighing”—and why it outperforms most meditation techniques Why nasal breathing is critical for nervous system health, sleep, and longevity A simple 3-step formula to transform any moment through awareness, relaxation, and energy Dan also guides us through powerful yet accessible exercises designed to increase mindfulness, release trauma from the body, and ignite the inner healer within. Whether you’re navigating burnout, seeking spiritual expansion, or simply looking for a natural way to reconnect to yourself, this episode will leave you breathing differently. If you've ever wondered whether healing had to be hard or whether awakening required a substance, this conversation will open a new portal of possibility.

Dr. Jeff Tarrant discusses his research on psychic mediums, focusing on brain activity using quantitative EEG. He highlights the involvement of the right parietal lobe, often referred to as the "God spot," in mediumship. Dr. Jeff Tarrant has studied around 20 psychic mediums and a few channelers, noting significant brainwave changes during mediumship, including increased gamma and slow waves. He also explores psychokinesis, noting improved performance when the left frontal lobe is inhibited. Dr. Tarrant emphasizes the importance of quieting the ego and achieving a flow state for effective psychic abilities. Dr. Jeff Tarrant discussed his journey into Qigong and energy healing, starting in the early 90s in Missouri. He described his initial experiences with energy healing, including sending and receiving energy, and later studies involving Pranic Healing. A small study with EEG measurements showed significant brain wave changes during healing sessions, indicating real effects beyond placebo.

Send us a textDaoist teacher and Qigong veteran Sifu Boggie (Paul Brighton) explores how ancient Taoist practices like Tai Chi and Qigong, validated by modern insights from quantum physics and epigenetics, can support healing, emotional resilience, and personal sovereignty. Drawing from 40+ years of experience, he emphasizes that energy is not mystical—it's matter and intention made lucid through breath, grounded movement, and subtle consciousness. Notable highlights include: his work with bullied children using energetic medicine; his playful yet profound interaction with "dragon energy"; stories from his barefoot-doctor lineage; and practical tools for calming anxiety, releasing stagnation, and expanding awareness. Listeners will come away inspired to view their bodies as conduits for universal energy and empowered to bridge old wisdom into modern healing.Resources:www.SoulAwakeningStore.comwww.claudiumurgan.comclaudiu@claudiumurgan.comhttps://spirituallyinspired.buzzsprout.comSubscribe for more videos! youtube.com/channel/UC6RlLkzUK_LdyRSV7DE6obQSupport the show

Are you overwhelmed by life's unanswered questions?Stuck in emotional loops, spiritual confusion, or struggling to make sense of pain that never seems to go away?Do you ever wonder: What's my purpose? Why am I still stuck? Can I really change who I am and what I attract?In this deeply personal and wildly unfiltered session, world-renowned hypnotist and transformational teacher Dr. David Snyder goes off-script to answer the real, raw, and sometimes painful questions most people are too afraid to ask.From grief and guilt to dating and manifestation… from mystical healing to real-world trauma… Dr. David blends decades of deep study in hypnosis, NLP, Taoist and Christian mysticism, and medical Qigong to deliver answers that are not only practical—but soul-level powerful.Whether you're lost, stuck, or just curious about how to break through to your next level—this episode delivers truth bombs, tough love, and real healing strategies you won't hear anywhere else.Quotes:"Nothing you've ever experienced or nothing you've ever gone through is wasted. There's always a deeper, longer game meaning to the things that we go through." - Dr. David Snyder"It's not free. You're going to have to give up something to get something. The universe says in order to have that, we have to be another version of ourselves."  - Dr. David Snyder"Real men don't cry? Yeah, that's true until it kills you. It takes real strength to be able to go into those things and feel them, express them, and still move through the world and function."  - Dr. David SnyderTakeaways:Practice "Image Cycling" for Manifestation: Develop a clear image of what you want, clear out negative blocks using techniques like the transformational triad, and then consistently cycle through your desired outcome. Be prepared for the process to potentially disrupt your current life in unexpected ways.Conduct a "Spiritual Interrogation" for Self-Discovery: When feeling lost or uncertain about your identity, use the technique of repeatedly asking yourself "Who are you?" while focusing on where you feel the uncertainty. Continue until you break through surface-level responses and reach a core understanding of yourself.Embrace Emotional Vulnerability: Challenge the notion that showing emotion is weakness. Practice fully experiencing and expressing your emotions, whether it's grief, anger, or joy. Recognize that true strength lies in being able to feel deeply while still functioning effectively in the world.Episode Timeline:[0:00-0:25] Introduction and opening remarks by the announcer[0:25-0:30] David Snyder begins the Q&A session, inviting audience questions[0:30-9:58] Early discussions covering:Deity magicImage cycling for manifestationAttraction techniquesDealing with guiltLife purpose and overcoming dark times[9:58-18:37] Deeper dive into:Law of AttractionManifesting techniquesImportance of letting go of old identitiesQuantum field principles[18:37-33:56] Topics include:Connecting with nature and animalsSeduction techniquesImportance of humor in attractionSocial interaction strategies[33:56-42:11] More Q&A covering:Spiritual practicesMeditationEntity removalPsychedelic experiences[42:11-59:05] Discussions on:Manifesting techniquesEye contactSocial skillsDating strategies[59:05-1:23:35] Healing Intensive announcement:Three-day virtual group therapy sessionDetails on registrationPurpose of the intensiveContact information[1:23:35] Closing remarks Links:To learn more about Dr. David Snyder and everything about NLP, visit:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nlppower.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@DavidSnyderNLP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/davidsnydernlp

Whether you're tuning into the Holistic Healing Hour podcast or catching the latest videos on my YouTube channel, we're always exploring ways to live healthier and happier.Recently, I've been thinking about some fundamental questions regarding our well-being. On the podcast, we asked: Feeling drained despite getting enough rest? Could unseen energy imbalances be the culprit? (Expand on this, briefly discuss the concept of energy in holistic healing, perhaps mentioning Qi or other relevant concepts without getting too technical. Refer back to the podcast episode if applicable).And over on YouTube, the question we posed was: Is your daily routine truly supporting your long-term well-being, or are there hidden pieces of the puzzle missing? (Discuss the importance of daily habits, perhaps show some examples of simple wellness practices like mindful movement, healthy eating tips, or stress reduction techniques. Refer to relevant YouTube videos).It's so important to look beyond just the obvious aspects of health. Sometimes, the key in the equation for feeling truly vibrant ,lies in understanding the subtle energies within us and making small, consistent adjustments to our daily routines. Whether it's exploring holistic energy practices on the podcast or incorporating simple wellness habits you see on the YouTube channel, remember that every step, no matter how small, contributes to your overall well-being.I encourage you to ponder these questions and explore the resources on both my podcast and YouTube channel.

This episode of the podcast is a guided meditation-in-motion, intended as a dynamic (yet gentle) way to explore Metta or Lovingkindness Meditation. You might think of it as a complement or alternative to the traditional seated Metta Meditation practice. (The meditation itself will start at ~ 3:30 after a brief introduction.) Metta means lovingkindness, goodwill, friendliness, or benevolence. We'll be using simple Qigong-inspired movements to invoke and express kindness for ourselves and for others. Classic Metta Meditations often use the repetition of phrases like “May I (or you, or all beings) be safe, May I (you/all beings) be happy, May I (you/all beings) be healthy, May I (you/all beings) live with ease.” Our movements themselves can be done in a way that promotes the sense of safety, happiness, health, and ease, AND I will invite you to layer in the phrases along with the movements to strengthen the intention. The movements in this meditation will include a Qigong form called "Waterfall," in which we'll imagine gathering goodness, and then showering ourselves with that benevolent energy. Then, with "Pebble in the Pond," our movement will symbolize sending our Metta wishes out as ripples in the peaceful water. My goal was to describe the movements clearly enough so you could follow along with just the audio. It's definitely ok to just approximate what you imagine I'm describing - the spirit of kindness and goodwill is what we're trying to bring forward here, rather than precise, perfect movements. It's meant to be more like a guided meditation that just happens to involve moving your body. This meditation can be done either standing or seated in a chair. You can have your eyes open or close them, but if you're standing, you may find that keeping them open (with a soft gaze) helps your balance.  I hope you will enjoy this moving meditation, and that it will invite a sense of kindness, embodiment, connection, and ease. ------------- For more links and resources mentioned in this episode, find the show notes at movedtomeditate.yoga/podcast.

What happens when all your supplements, clean eating, and protocols stop working—and you just keep getting sicker?Danielle Pashko had built her career in functional medicine, doing everything “right.” But after thyroid cancer, Lyme disease, and long COVID wrecked her health, she hit a wall. Nothing worked—until she stopped chasing fixes and started going inward.In this episode, Danielle shares how she finally started healing by rewiring her nervous system, using Qigong, martial arts, and visualization.

Jeff Patterson has been practicing martial arts for 36 years. He has trained with masters from seven countries and has achieved a black belt equivalency in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Eskrima, Muay Thai, Kenpō, Tai Chi, and Qigong. Patterson believes in the power of meditative arts to enhance life experiences. Why Meditation for Educational Leaders? Educational leaders are in high-stress, high-visibility positions. Meditation can help reduce stress and prevent burnout, enabling leaders to have longevity in their careers. Meditation is practiced by high-performing athletes in other fields, such as boxing and basketball, to improve performance. Jeff Patterson's "Five Regulations" of Meditation: Regulating the body: Paying attention to skeletal alignment, muscle tension, and movement. This includes maintaining muscle structure and flexibility, consuming healthy nutrients, and getting adequate sleep. Regulating the breath: There are hundreds of breathing strategies, which can be categorized as yin (deeper, inward energy) or yang (aggressive, outward energy). Yin breathing involves longer inhales and shorter exhales. Yang breathing may involve tension in the breath and audible exhales. Regulating the mind: Meditation does not require a quiet mind, as distractions are normal. Meditation involves recognizing distractions and using posture, breath, and movement to regain focus. Regulating the energy: Once the body, breath, and mind are regulated, one can learn to direct energy inward, outward, or circulate it to achieve different outcomes in meditation. Regulating the spirit: This is a profound concept toward which meditation masters work their entire lives. Benefits of Meditation: Increased focus and productivity Enhanced emotional regulation Improved communication skills and the ability to "yield" Physical yielding: Getting out of the way of a force to respond with less effort. Requires being well rooted, having a strong and flexible lower body, a relaxed body, calm breath, and a present mind. Mental yielding: Recognizing imbalances in a conversation and adjusting the conversation to lead it to a harmonious place. Emotional yielding: Stepping back from interpersonal conflicts to make a more educated decision. Integrating Meditation into a Busy Schedule: Ritual Practice: A dedicated time, such as 20 minutes per day, to meditate without distractions. Active Practices: Integrating practices throughout the day, even for as little as 60 seconds. Philosophical Practices: Integrating the philosophy of meditation into active and ritual practices. Jeff Patterson's Three Considerations for Starting a Meditation Practice: Motivation: Identify your motivation for wanting to meditate.

In this part two of our Egypt retreat recap, we share the deeper energetic downloads and spiritual revelations that continued to unfold as our journey reached its peak. From our ceremony at the Temple of Isis and sunrise meditations at the feet of the Sphinx, to sound healing in underground chambers and toning inside the Great Pyramid - we're ready to reflect on the codes that cracked us open. We also explore the healing of feminine lineages, the presence of supportive masculine energy, and the mysterious technologies that continue to activate us today.    Key Takeaways: What it felt like to tone inside the Great Pyramid and how intention amplifies in frequency-based spaces. The unexpected healing of postpartum depression through sound, movement, and presence. Why intuitive movement (like channeling Qi Gong without formal training) is part of reclaiming ancient memory. Messages received from the Sphinx and Akashic Records about feminine leadership and inter-dimensional wisdom. The sacred design of Egypt's temples and stones and how walking through them activates the body itself. Why this journey marked the end of one DayLuna era and the emergence of something new.     Book a Reading With Us Here!   EXPLORE LUNYA Use code: DAYLUNA for 15% off   Human Design Chart Software: BodygraphChart.com Use code: DAYLUNA for 50% off your first 12 months!   Get our book: Your Human Design!
