In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about what happens when first responders are physically exhausted but mentally unable to sleep (Amazon Affiliate). Not the occasional restless night, but the chronic state of being wired, alert, and unable to fully shut down even in safe, quiet environments. This is the kind of sleep disruption that develops from years of hypervigilance, rotating shifts, and repeated exposure to critical incidents. The body may be in bed, but the brain is still scanning, replaying calls, running scenarios, and staying prepared for threat long after the shift has ended.

In this powerful conversation, host Brian Freise sits down with Laura Duncan to explore why discipline and productivity alone can't deliver lasting freedom, and why learning to be still might be the most radical and healing thing we can do.Drawing from Andrew Huberman's podcast on brain science, Cal Newport's Deep Work, and timeless biblical wisdom (Psalm 46:10, John 8), they unpack:Why constant stimulation (phones, email, multitasking) blocks memory consolidation, learning, and real restHow boredom is often a disguised cry for connection, especially connection with ourselvesWhy forced abstinence (e.g. quitting social media cold turkey) rarely creates freedom, true freedom comes from connection, not just behavior changeThe neuroscience behind “gap time” and how brief moments of stillness actually accelerate neuroplasticityHow Jesus modeled living beyond the mundane by regularly withdrawing into stillness and presenceA dead-simple daily practice: the 5-minute attunement exercise → 2–3 minutes of silence → Gently notice body sensations, thoughts, and emotions (no fixing) → Anchor with one true-self word or feelingWhether you're overwhelmed by busyness, struggling with insomnia despite discipline, or just feel disconnected even when you're “doing all the right things,” this episode offers both the why (science + scripture) and the how (a practical starting point).

In this episode of Digitally Overwhelmed, host Cinthia Pacheco talks with Tabitha Danloe, founder of The Divine Sophia and creator of The Pack Program. Tabitha is a life, business, and leadership coach who helps soulpreneurs build aligned, sustainable businesses without burnout. They discuss the power of stillness, trusting your intuition, and how entrepreneurs can make better decisions while staying authentic.

Hello to you listening in Bellingham, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.There is nothing quite so still as an old growth forest to settle the anxiety I feel in these times of madness. Walking deep in the woods of the island's old growth forests a stillness beckons me to stop and listen deeply. The stillness asks if I can hear the immense power and depth of silence. I am reminded that all sounds arise from silence and fade back into silence.When we take the time to stop and experience silence we calm our mind, still the crazy chatter, breathe more deeply. Allow stillness. Stay with silence as long as you can. Tune in to your intuition, see clearly, hear your heartbeat, feel the blood coursing in your fingertips, and sense the steadiness of your breath coming and going easily. Remind yourself that we are alive and connected to all beings.Question: How does it feel to seek a bit of refuge in the stillness of the present moment? How does it feel to be alive, vibrant, and in tune with silence?   You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Send us your feedback — we're listening“Psalm 91:15 — Jesus, Hear My Cry Tonight and Bring Stillness to My Inner Storm” Hebrews 4:16 — “Approach God's throne of grace with confidence…” THEME (PT-BR): angústia noturna • oração por socorro • consolo espiritual • vitória na tempestade Wednesday 18 February 2026 — 8:00 P.M. Live from London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper • Brasil • Angola • Índia • EUA • Timor-Leste Psalm 91:15 (NIV): “He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble…” Hebrews 4:16 (NIV): “Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Jesus, as night draws in across Brazil and throughout the Portuguese-speaking world, emotions often intensify. The quiet hours can make small worries sound louder, and the mind can begin to replay conversations, fears, and uncertainties. O coração sente a pressão da noite. Yet Your promise remains steady and unchanging: when we call, You answer; when trouble rises, You are close. Tonight, let every listener feel the calm assurance that You are not far from their cry. Lord, lift the one who feels unseen. Steady the person who has carried hidden concerns all day. Bring comfort to the heart wrestling with thoughts that refuse to settle. Let Your presence be like a soft light inside the storm, reminding the soul that hope is not fragile, and peace is not unreachable. May the gentle confidence of Your grace rise within every tired mind, replacing fear with stillness and anxiety with trust. Jesus, where restlessness lingers, speak peace. Where emotions feel tangled, bring clarity. Where the night feels heavy, let Your nearness feel stronger. A graça de Jesus acalma a tempestade interior. Tonight, let every listener discover that Your presence is not dependent on how they feel; it is rooted in Your love, firm and unshaken. oração da noite brasil, salmo 91 consolo, angústia noturna oração, socorro de Deus, paz interior brasil, conforto espiritual, Jesus acalma a alma, esperança para hoje Psalm 91 night prayer, Brazil Christian devotional, Portuguese prayer, emotional calm prayer, Jesus comfort, Reverend Ben CooperSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Episode Summary:We begin Season Six of Holy Heretics in a world coming undone. Evil is on our doorstep. Our democratic norms are no more. A sociopathic madman and his predatorily ghouls are raping and robbing their way through our common life. An entire system of life is cracking beneath our feet.We are standing at the threshold of an old world that is dying and a new world yet to be born. The only real way through is inner: to awaken, to unfold, to cultivate a new humanity from the inside out.To open this season, I sit down with 88-year-old mystic John Butler—British author, retired farmer, and lifelong seeker whose gentle presence has become a sanctuary for millions. Formed by silence, shaped by prayer, and seasoned by decades of wandering across continents and inner landscapes, Mr. Butler speaks from a depth rare in our dopamine-driven age. Many have come to know him by a name he never claimed but quietly embodies: “Mr. Nothing.” It's a title that gestures toward the ego‑less simplicity he embodies—a way of being that asks nothing, claims nothing, and yet reveals everything essential. He reminds us that the ground of our being is never unstable, we've simply forgotten how to tap into it.Besides farming and meditation, Mr. Butler has lived an extraordinarily interesting life, including much spiritual insight, emotional ups and downs, long periods in Peru, Africa and the USA besides several years in Russia, all of which have been part of the far from easy journey to where he is now.This season is, at its core, a season of spiritual health—of learning how to live from a deeper center when the world around us is fraying. Along the way, we'll be joined by voices who have spent their lives tending the sacred: Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, whose moral clarity has guided many through storms; Stanley Hauerwas, whose fierce honesty cuts through our illusions; Mark Vernon, who maps the inner terrain of consciousness with philosophical grace; Martin Shaw, who calls us back into mythic imagination; KJ Ramsey, who helps us inhabit our bodies with courage and tenderness; and Matthew Fox, who has spent decades reminding us that we were not born in sin, but in original goodness.Season Six is an invitation—to slow down, to listen, to return to the place within you that no propaganda can distort and no authoritarian can reach.We're back! And we're beginning with a conversation that asks you to breathe, to soften, to sit in silence, and to remember that your personal transformation begins in the one place the world cannot colonize—your inner life.Connect with Mr. Butler on his website, https://spiritualunfoldment.co.uk, for articles, interviews, and additional resources on the contemplative life.

SummaryIn this episode we explore the profound impact of stillness on personal clarity and decision-making. Stillness is not merely about pausing but involves listening and reflecting. The conversation delves into how curiosity, simplicity, and self-trust interplay to enhance our understanding of what truly matters in our lives. This episode encourages listeners to embrace stillness as a tool for self-discovery and growth, providing practical insights and reflection questions to guide their journey.Takeaways- Stillness is about listening, not just stopping.- Curiosity helps remove self-judgment and invites exploration.- Simplicity reduces overwhelm and helps focus on what matters.- Self-trust allows movement without perfect clarity.- What matters most often whispers rather than shouts.- Curiosity opens conversations and connections.- Simplicity eliminates distractions and noise.- Self-trust is essential for making hard choices.- Stillness clarifies what matters without forcing answers.- Reflection and listening are key to personal growth.

We're still in winter — even if part of us is itching to rush ahead.In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake, Candace explores the quiet, in-between season where spring hasn't arrived yet, but the urge to speed up is strong. Instead of pushing forward, she reflects on what it looks like to resist the rush and choose stillness — even when it feels uncomfortable.Through small, intentional practices like turning off her phone, sitting in silence during drives, and creating space without distraction, Candace shares how stillness has become an unexpected doorway. A doorway into emotions long suppressed — rage, sadness, guilt, shame — and into the courage it takes to feel them, listen to them, and let them move through the body without carrying them forward.This episode is an invitation to honor the hibernation season, to trust that not everything needs to bloom right now, and to remember that when we allow ourselves to feel and release what's been held for years, spring arrives more vibrant, more honest, and more alive.

Most people think self-discipline means doing more. Grinding harder. Pushing longer. In this solo episode of Harder Than Life, Kelly Siegel breaks down why real discipline isn't intensity—it's regulation and self-respect. Kelly shares how hustle culture confuses motion with progress, why overcommitment is fear in disguise, and how stillness is one of the most advanced discipline skills you can build. This episode explores saying no, slowing down with intention, building self-trust, and leading with presence instead of force. Key Takeaways

Send a textWhat if the gospel wasn't something we had to rush through… but something we were meant to rest in?In part two of the Power of Stillness series, I'm sharing how slowing my pace, especially on Sundays, has quietly shifted my worship. When I stopped treating the gospel like a checklist and let myself be present, I felt something I hadn't felt in a while: peace. Not dramatic. Just steady and real.We talk about what it looks like to move from doing to being, why sacrifice was never meant to be carried alone, and how slowing down actually makes space for Zion to be built the way the Lord intended, together.This episode is for the woman who loves the gospel but feels tired… who wants to do what's right but is craving rest, connection, and renewal.

Jake and meditation coach Misia Welters talk about why slowing down is the most practical thing you can do when life gets chaotic. In this episode Jake and Misia explore meditation as mental hygiene, what happens when you sit with discomfort long enough for real clarity to emerge, and why the quality of your consciousness directly shapes how you perceive reality. They also get into protecting your energy in a world designed to overwhelm you, the difference between staying informed and being consumed by noise, and how meditation can unlock deeper layers of subconscious wisdom.Order Misia's new book Your Third Eye: Connecting Dream Science, Intuition, and the Subconscious to Finally See Yourself and the World: https://www.amazon.com/Your-Third-Eye-Connecting-Subconscious/dp/1684818737 Join the Telegram group to stay up to date on new episodes: https://t.me/+QgtZiyv8tVlmNGJl

Laung Por Pasanno offered this reflection on 2 October 2025 at Amaravati Buddhist Monastery. The post Silent Attunement to Stillness appeared first on Amaravati Buddhist Monastery.

Presence lies at the center of both professional coaching and Christian formation. This episode explores presence not as a technique or coaching skill alone, but as a disciplined way of being. For Christian coaches, presence is where ICF-aligned professionalism and faith come together rather than compete. In coaching, presence means being fully engaged, comfortable with not knowing, able to work with silence, and responsive rather than reactive. Spiritually, Scripture reveals God as a present God. From the burning bush to the ministry of Jesus, transformation flows from attentive presence, not hurried action. The conversation addresses a key truth: we cannot be present with clients beyond the level we are present with ourselves. Stillness, surrender, and self-awareness shape our ability to hold space for others. Practical reflections highlight what Christ-centered, client-centered presence looks like in real sessions, including honoring boundaries, resisting advice-giving, trusting the process, and allowing insight to emerge in its own time.   --- Start your journey to become a Professional Christian Life Coach!  Connect with an Academic Advisor: https://calendly.com/d/cqkt-5nf-5pw/connect-with-an-academic-advisor?utm_source=podcast Join the Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/professionalchristiancoaching/ Our gift to you! 15+ Hours of FREE Training "The Ultimate Christian Coaching Bundle": https://professionalchristiancoaching.com/bundle PCCI Website: https://professionalchristiancoaching.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristianCoaching/videos  

In this expansive and deeply illuminating episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, Michelle is joined by San Qing, a Daoist priest, teacher of internal alchemy, and lifelong explorer of consciousness, healing, and human potential. San shares his extraordinary origin story, including a near-death experience as a child, spontaneous clairvoyant and healing abilities, and his eventual ordination in Daoist lineages in China. Together, Michelle and San dive into the nature of reality, the illusion of identification with the material world, and how true healing occurs when we access the stillness beneath thought, diagnosis, and fear. This conversation bridges ancient Daoist wisdom with modern conversations around quantum healing, consciousness, and fertility. It explores how attachment to labels, timelines, and medical predictions can keep the body stuck, and how returning to the "void," the place of non-identity and stillness, allows the body and spirit to reorganise into harmony. This episode is a powerful invitation to remember that healing is not something we force, but something we allow when we reconnect with our deeper intelligence. Key Takeaways: Healing begins beyond the physical body, in consciousness and energy Identifying too strongly with diagnoses can limit what the body is capable of Stillness and non-attachment create space for transformation The body must be able to hold the energetic charge of healing Ancient Daoist teachings offer a roadmap for embodied, sustainable healing Guest Bio:  Taoist Master San Qing is a profound healer. When he talks, there is something else that goes on in the room. The room is filled with light and love. Taoist Master San Qing has over 30 years' experience guiding people, teaching people, opening people up to their true potential as a human being, as a light being, as just being. San Qing is an ordained priest and 66th generation lineage holder and 126th generation lineage holder of Taoism. San is a Taoist master of Qigong and Neigong, is a prolific channel and healer who has built a reputation for direct access to the spirit realm. He is grateful every day to his teachers, the Three Pure Ones and the Tao, for allowing him to witness miracles. San works with people all over the world showing them, that the impossible is possible.  Connect with San Qing Website: https://immortaltaoistrites.com/ The Way 126 App (Web, iOS & Android): https://theway126.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiY-8SXc5g7oJRlA02tQluw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theway_126 Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

In this expansive episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner is joined by returning guest Phil McLemore for a deep, practical teaching on meditation as the highest form of prayer. Phil presents meditation as an ancient practice of awareness, union with God, and transformation.Together, they explore the difference between mindfulness and transcendental (yoga) meditation, why stillness is essential for spiritual perception, and how meditation aligns with Jesus' own teachings on prayer, the inner kingdom, and becoming “one” with God. Phil offers step-by-step guidance on posture, breath, mantra, handling distractions, and receiving meditation as a feminine, receptive flow of grace rather than a forced effort.This episode also addresses common fears around meditation, ego resistance, spiritual ego, emotional release, and discernment—grounding the practice firmly in Christ-centered theology, embodiment, and character transformation.

In this episode of This Is Kingdom, Grace, TJ, Talon, and Hollis celebrate Valentine's week, then dive into what it really means when we hear that the Lord is hastening His work. Through stories from missions, everyday life, and the simple moments we usually rush past, the hosts explore the difference between being busy and being urgent for the right things. They talk about slowing down enough to actually see people, ask real questions, and make space for the sacred moments God is trying to put in our path.This episode is a reminder that a spiritual life is hard to build in a hurry, and that hastening does not always look like doing more. With insight from Elder Cook and a powerful example from Abraham, the conversation invites listeners to live with open hands and an open schedule, ready for God to fill it. It is an encouragement to be available, to be present, and to move quickly when the Lord gives you something to do.Chapters:00:00 INTRO06:13 "Meaning Behind 'How Are You?'"09:54 "Slowing Down to Uplift Others"10:52 "Balancing Urgency and Stillness"14:03 "Being Present and Grateful"

In this profound and timely interview, Emilio Ortiz sits down once again with Regina Meredith to explore what many are sensing but struggling to articulate: the activation of two distinct soul paths unfolding simultaneously on Earth. As systems destabilize and the world feels increasingly polarized, Regina offers a grounded yet expansive perspective on why some people are experiencing chaos, fear, and fragmentation — while others feel an unexpected calm, clarity, and inner coherence. This episode dives deep into consciousness evolution, timeline divergence, spiritual awakening, and what it truly means to remain centered as humanity navigates a critical crossroads.✦ Learn more about The Deep Dive Membership | https://iamemilioortiz.com/the-deep-d...Together, Emilio and Regina unpack the idea of a “soul split” — not as a judgment, but as a natural consequence of choice, frequency, and inner alignment. They explore how this moment is less about external events and more about who we are becoming, how we relate to fear and truth, and which inner path we are walking. This conversation is an invitation to pause, reflect, and recognize where you stand in this unfolding shift — and how to move forward with greater awareness, sovereignty, and compassion in an era of accelerated transformation.Regina Meredith is a veteran journalist, speaker, and the longtime host of Open Minds on Gaia, where she has interviewed thousands of leading thinkers, mystics, scientists, and consciousness pioneers from around the world.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 – Regina Meredith Intro3:20 - The Feeling of Incoming Chaos6:02 - The True Origin of Humanity: Two Souls Merged Into One Being9:14 - Why This Generation Was Born Into a Different Consciousness Field11:05 - Are Dimensions Bleeding Together? 14:37 - The Shift From 3D to 4D16:59 - Black Holes as Creation Portals 19:48 - Timelines, Train Tracks & How Doubt Collapses Your Creations21:35 - The Heart as the New Intelligence of the Future Human25:39 - The Collapse of Old Systems28:35 - The Future of Money, Global Systems & Collective Currency30:48 - Illness as a Spiritual Wake-Up Call31:55 - Transparency, Telepathy & the End of Hiding Who We Are34:46 - Regina's Injury, Stillness & Mystical Discoveries in Forced Rest36:48 - Victimhood vs Soul Choice39:05 - “Human Generated”: 42:14 - Can AI Access the Field?52:54 - The Two Earths: Higher Consciousness Timeline58:27 - How to Match the Frequency of the New Earth 1:01:08 - Compassion as the True Hero's Journey1:03:15 - Stillness, Egypt & The Breakthrough of the “Black Hole Creation Model”1:06:01 - The Downfall of Worship 1:09:40 - The Hardest Truth Regina Ever Had to Accept1:12:14 - The Sacred Responsibility of an Awakened Human Today1:14:44 - The Zoomer & The Boomer Bridge___________________Guest: Regina Meredith, Investigative Journalist & Pioneer in Conscious Media✦ Website | https://reginameredith.com/✦ YouTube Channel | ‪@ReginaMeredith‬ ✦ Watch "Open Minds" on Gaia | https://gaia.com/emilio✦ Instagram |   / reginameredith_official  Host: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG |   / iamemilioortiz  ✦ Subscribe to Channel |    / emilioortiz  Special Offerings to Support the Show:✦ Make a One-Time or Recurring Donation on PayPal

In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Rachel sits down with Dr. Bisleen Attli, a naturopathic doctor and mental wellness expert, who has built a fast-growing, deeply engaged audience by combining nervous system education, real-life experience, and an intentional content strategy. After navigating her own mental health challenges and transitioning from patient to practitioner, Dr. Bisleen has grown a thriving clinical practice and a community of over 200,000 followers without chasing trends or virality. Together, they unpack the intersection of mental health, nervous system regulation, and sustainable creator growth. Dr. Bisleen shares her journey from being prescribed “happy pills” as a teenager to taking her health into her own hands, discovering naturopathic medicine, and ultimately using social media as a tool to scale impact, not just views. Rachel and Dr. Bisleen break down why overachieving doesn't fix burnout, how creators unknowingly dysregulate their nervous systems, and why boredom, consistency, and capacity are critical to long-term success. They explore the realities of building a professional brand online, balancing credibility with authenticity, and why being booked and busy matters more than going viral. This conversation dives deep into practical creator strategy, including finding your niche through experimentation, building authority-driven content, creating simple repeatable formats, mastering hooks, and using intentional systems to grow both a platform and a business. Dr. Bisleen also shares how a simple Mental Health Month content series sparked explosive growth and what creators can learn from it. This episode is a powerful reminder that growth doesn't come from doing everything, but from doing the right things well. If you're a creator, professional, or entrepreneur looking to build sustainably, regulate your nervous system, and grow with purpose, this episode will completely shift how you think about content, consistency, and success.

Have you ever stood on the edge of obedience, knowing everything is stacked against you and wondering if God is really at work in the silence? What happens when waiting, not rushing, becomes the turning point of deliverance?In this episode, we step into Esther chapter 5 and witness the beginning of one of Scripture's most dramatic reversals. We'll explore how divine providence operates behind the scenes as Esther courageously approaches the king, chooses patience over impulse, and trusts God's timing. Through the Book of Esther, Romans 8, and the biblical pattern of the “third day,” this episode reveals how God works powerfully even when He seems hidden.Inside this episode:Why Esther's two banquets are not hesitation but holy strategyHow fasting, prayer, and stillness position us to discern God's willA striking biblical contrast between Esther's humility and Haman's prideEsther's story isn't just ancient history. It's a roadmap for faithful living. When life feels urgent, unfair, or uncertain, this episode invites us to slow down and trust God's unseen hand.Themes in Esther 5 we can apply to our life today:Waiting for God's perfect timing. Esther's three days of fasting and prayer remind us that God often works most powerfully while we are waiting. Stillness is not inactivity. It is trust that allows God to go before us and prepare what we cannot see.Humility that positions us for favor. Esther approaches the king with courage and restraint, while Haman's pride blinds him to his downfall. This contrast shows how humility aligns us with God's purposes, while pride quietly sets traps for our own undoing.Trusting God's hidden providence. Even when God's name is never mentioned, His hand is unmistakably at work behind the scenes. Like Esther, we are invited to believe that God is arranging the “chessboard” long before we are asked to make our move.If you're wrestling with decisions, delayed answers, or fear of stepping forward, this study of Esther and divine providence will encourage you to be still and watch God move.We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

Have you ever heard the phrase “be still and let the Lord fight for you” and felt an immediate knot in your chest because you genuinely don't know how to do that?
