In this episode of Bodhisattva Conversations, I explore the subtle but powerful difference between being in joy and enjoying something.Enjoyment is often connected to outer experiences - a beautiful day, a delicious meal, a moment of success, time with people we love. These moments are wonderful, but they are naturally temporary.Joy, however, is something different.Joy is not dependent on circumstances. It is a deeper inner state of ease that arises when we are no longer in conflict with ourselves or the present moment.Much of the inner work we do is a process of recognising where we have become identified with our reactions,  where we believe that something outside of us has made us feel a certain way. Yet often what the outer world actually does is reveal where there is unrest within us.When we become aware of this, something shifts. Instead of chasing experiences that temporarily help us feel better, we begin to cultivate stillness and awareness within ourselves.From that place, we can experience joy even when we are not necessarily enjoying what is happening in the moment.A rainy day, a difficult conversation, a challenging life situation - these may not be enjoyable, but they do not have to take us out of inner ease.This episode is a reflection on how to stop searching for joy outside ourselves, and instead recognise the stillness within that has always been there.

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

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause. In this short episode of Happy Mind Happy Life, Michelle explores the quiet power of stillness and why slowing down can be essential for our mental well-being. In a world that constantly encourages productivity, achievement, and staying busy, intentional moments of stillness can help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and bring greater clarity to our thoughts and emotions. Michelle shares a gentle reminder that stillness is not wasted time—it's often where insight, healing, and personal growth begin. When we allow ourselves to slow down, even for a few minutes, we create space for mindfulness, emotional balance, and deeper self-awareness. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly on the go, this episode offers a moment to breathe, reset, and reconnect with yourself. Be sure to follow or subscribe to Happy Mind Happy Life so you don't miss the upcoming episode on how we sometimes unknowingly sabotage the things we truly want—and how to begin shifting those patterns.

A Posture of Stillness  "Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes." - ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭7‬  "Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world." - ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬ ‭ The Hebrew word "raphah" in Psalm 46:10 implies letting go, letting your hands hang down, or ceasing to fight on your own. "As Pharaoh approached, the people of Israel looked up and panicked when they saw the Egyptians overtaking them. They cried out to the Lord," - ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭14‬:‭10‬ ‭ "But Moses told the people, "Don't be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm."" - ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭14‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭ "On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, BUT WAIT for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about." - ‭‭Acts‬ ‭1‬:‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Refers to Luke 24:49… "I am going to send you what my Father has promised; BUT STAY in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." - ‭‭Luke‬ ‭24‬:‭49‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Have you ever run out the door forgetting something important, like car keys or a wallet?

In Episode 302, the conversation shifts from fitness tactics to something deeper: the battle between time and space. While most high performers obsess over productivity, optimization, and even hormone replacement therapy, this episode argues that the missing link in health — especially hormonal health — isn't more effort. It's recovery. Drawing on experiences coaching executives, entrepreneurs, and peak performers (including a talk at MIT), the hosts explore how chronic busyness, digital overload, and the inability to tolerate stillness are disrupting the nervous system and driving issues like anxiety, poor sleep, gut dysfunction, and hormone imbalance. They break down the power of micro, medium, and macro breaks — from 60-second breathing resets to digital detox weekends — and explain why intentional rest must be planned with the same intensity as work. Using metaphors like the catapult (you must pull back to launch forward) and the “space between the notes” that makes music meaningful, this episode challenges listeners to rethink productivity. The real edge isn't doing more — it's creating space. Rest first. Then eat. Then move.#PeakPerformance#StressRecovery#Biohacking#MentalResilience#ExecutiveHealth

Aaron wasn't looking for history when he bought the house. He was looking for affordable. A quiet reservoir property built in the early 1960s, long used as a weekend retreat and rarely occupied full-time, felt like a clean slate after a turbulent year.At first, the house delivered exactly that — neutrality. Stillness. Space to rebuild. But after he furnished it with secondhand pieces, something about the hallway began to feel… occupied.Nothing violent. Nothing theatrical. Just the steady awareness that the space might not belong to him alone. A presence that didn't push. Didn't threaten. Simply stood its ground.And when Aaron finally addressed it directly, what followed wasn't escalation. It was something far more unsettling.#RealGhostStories #HauntedHouse #ShadowFigure #ParanormalEncounter #TrueGhostStory #HomeHaunting #UnexplainedPhenomena #ShadowMan #SupernaturalExperience #HauntedHallwayLove real ghost stories?

Guests: Kyra Klein, Physiotherapist & Shamanic Healer | Matthew Johnson, Somatic Therapist Business: Body Language | Squamish, BC | trainbodylanguage.com   What if the pain you feel in your body is actually the voice of something your mind hasn't found words for yet? In this episode, hosts Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with two extraordinary healers—Kyra Klein and Matthew Johnson, co-creators of Body Language in Squamish, British Columbia—to explore what it really means to heal the whole human system.   Kyra is Harmony's cousin, reunited through Ancestry.com in one of the most unexpected family stories you'll ever hear. A trained physiotherapist, yoga teacher, and shamanic practitioner, Kyra has spent over a decade learning to read the body's deepest stories through touch, intuition, and energy work. Her partner Matt came to healing through a radically different path—as a nationally ranked sport climbing coach who suppressed his emotions with elite precision, until a family loss and near-death illness shattered everything he thought he knew.   Together, Kyra and Matt have built a practice that bridges physiotherapy, somatic therapy, breathwork, shamanic ceremony, and psychedelic integration—because they've learned that no single modality can heal the whole person.   In this conversation, you'll discover: Why the body stores emotional and traumatic history in physical form How Matt's three-month health crisis—where he lost a third of his body weight and negotiated with death itself—became his initiation into healing What somatic therapy offers that traditional talk therapy cannot How Kyra reads the emotional story underneath physical symptoms through touch The difference between caring for someone and carrying them Why breathwork ceremony can be as powerful as psychedelic medicine What the Pacha Mesa shamanic tradition teaches about reconnecting to the natural world How integration is the missing piece in most healing journeys Why the West is finally waking up to what indigenous and Eastern traditions have always known   This conversation is rich, tender, occasionally hilarious, and deeply grounded in the lived experience of two people who chose to turn toward their own healing—and built a business helping others do the same.   ⭐ Want to go deeper? The full conversation about Harmony and Russell's personal journeys with Kyra and Matt—including their integration experiences—is available exclusively inside the Finding Harmony Community: community-harmonyslater.com   Timestamps [00:00] Welcome to Finding Harmony [01:00] Introducing Today's Theme: Whole Human Healing [03:00] Meet Kyra Klein & Matthew Johnson: Body Language, Squamish BC [06:00] The Ancestry.com Discovery: How Harmony Found Her Cousin [09:00] Soul Collision: How Kyra and Matt Met on Hinge and Knew Immediately [12:00] What It Means to Build a Relationship Around Healing [14:00] Matt's Background: Canadian National Sport Climbing Coach [15:30] The Moment Everything Broke: A Family Loss and a Health Crisis [18:00] Three Months Without Food: Negotiating with Death [21:00] Cashews, Consciousness, and Coming Back [24:00] Kyra's Spiritual Awakening: Spirits in Her Bedroom as a Child [28:00] From High-Performance Sport to Physiotherapy: The Body as Teacher [32:00] Kyra's Approach: Reading the Emotional Story Beneath Physical Symptoms [38:00] The Mind-Body Split: What Western Medicine Got Wrong [40:00] Somatic Therapy: Getting Out of the Story and Back into the Body [44:00] Why Intense Practice Can Be a Way to Avoid Feeling [47:00] Body Language: Learning to Understand What Your Body Is Saying [52:00] How Healing Happens in Stillness [56:00] Matt's Spiritual Awakening Through Meditation [59:00] Kyra's First Psilocybin Journey and the Birth of Something New [01:01:00] Integration: Why Openings Without Integration Don't Stick [01:04:00] The Pacha Mesa Shamanic Tradition: Earth-Honoring Philosophy [01:09:00] Cultural Appropriation and Sacred Transmission [01:11:00] Ceremony, Ritual, and What We've Lost as a Culture [01:14:00] How Kyra and Matt Set Sacred Space for Breathwork Ceremonies [01:18:00] The Power of Collective Healing [01:19:00] Where to Find Body Language   Connect with Kyra & Matt Website: trainbodylanguage.com Instagram: @trainbodylanguage Somatic therapy & psychedelic integration support available virtually (sliding scale pricing) Physiotherapy, shamanic therapy, and holistic sessions in Squamish, BC   Resources Mentioned Gabor Maté – Compassionate Inquiry Professional Training Pacha Mesa Tradition teachers: Robin and Darcy Heart of the Healer tradition How to Change Your Mind – Michael Pollan Ancestry.com   Key Takeaways The body stores emotional and traumatic history as physical pattern Healing is a lifelong path—you either turn toward yourself or you don't Somatic therapy gets you out of your story and back into felt experience Integration is the missing piece in most spiritual and healing journeys Breathwork ceremony can occasion mystical experience without plant medicine You can become addicted to anything—even spiritual practice—as a way to avoid feeling Genuine spiritual connection to the natural world is what the West is hungry for Your outer healer helps clear the path; the healing intelligence lives inside you

Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's message draws on themes from congregational input and global stress research. This message reframes peace not as a luxury but as a biological and spiritual necessity, reminding us that we don't go to peace—we come from it. Using metaphors like the eye of a hurricane and a submarine beneath stormy waters, it teaches that our divine center remains steady even when life feels overwhelming. Through practices like mindful pauses, morning intention, and conscious response, we reclaim stillness as an act of spiritual authority and strength in a speeding world.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

After seven weeks on sabbatical, Pastor Josh returns to share lessons from the life of Elijah in 1 Kings 19. Following the dramatic victory on Mount Carmel, Elijah flees in fear, collapses under a broom tree, and encounters God—not in wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a gentle whisper. This message explores how God meets us in exhaustion, ministers with compassion, and reminds us that the journey is too great for us alone. If you're weary or longing to hear God's voice, this sermon is an invitation to be still and listen for His whisper.   Title: Stillness Series: The Secret Place Text: 1 Kings 19:1-18 Speaker: Josh Branham

Have you ever hit a big milestone and still felt… off? You closed the deal. You reached the revenue goal. You hit the number you've been chasing. On paper, everything looks solid. But internally? Something feels slightly empty. In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I dive into three of the ten alignments from our S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N system — the framework I use to systematically harmonize ambition and well-being. Those three are: Loving Relationships Mindful Spirituality Abundance Financially These are just 3 out of the 10 alignments, but they are powerful ones. When even one of these is out of whack, you can feel it. When all three are aligned, life hits different. Let's start with loving relationships. You can build an incredible business, but if your marriage is strained, your kids feel distant, or your friendships are surface-level, it will eventually catch up with you. Relationships are not a bonus category. They are foundational. I share the L.O.V.E.R. framework to help navigate adversity in relationships: Listen. Observe. Voice. Empathize. Repair. Most people skip listening and jump straight to defending. But communication isn't just about words. It's tone. Body language. Energy. Presence. If you want a ten in your relationship, you've got to be a ten. Then we move into mindful spirituality. This isn't about religion or rigid rules. It's about connection to something bigger than your to-do list, your ego, or your quarterly targets. When you feel spiritually disconnected, everything feels heavier. You operate from stress, urgency, and control. But when you intentionally create stillness, you regain perspective. I use the reminder C.I.T.S. — Chill In The Still. Sit down. Get quiet. Reflect. Pray. Meditate. Breathe. Even a few intentional minutes of stillness per day can shift your nervous system and your clarity. Stillness builds inner strength. Gratitude. Confidence. When you are spiritually grounded, you don't chase, you align. Now let's talk about abundance financially. Abundance isn't just about making more money. It's about how you make it and who you become in the process. Over the years, I've used a simple framework called R.O.A.D.M.A.P. to generate millions in revenue, often in 45-minute Zoom calls. Not because I'm special, but because the system is aligned. R.O.A.D.M.A.P. stands for: Rapport Obstacle Aspiration Demonstration Match Ask Pull First, build rapport. Real connection. Trust.Then understand the obstacle. What problem are they trying to solve? Next, aspiration. What outcome do they truly want? Then demonstrate. Show proof. Testimonials. Real results. Match is critical. It has to be a fit both ways. I've worked with misaligned clients before and the money is never worth the stress. Then ask clearly. And finally, pull, not push. Ethical urgency. Honest scarcity. Invitation instead of pressure. Money should not cost you your peace. It should amplify your impact. It should allow you to provide, give, invest, and grow without sacrificing your integrity. Money magnifies who you already are. If you're grounded in strong relationships and spiritual alignment, money expands that. If you're disconnected, it amplifies that too. At the end of the day, fulfillment isn't built in one big achievement. It's built in daily alignment. How you love your people. How you connect to something greater than yourself. How you steward and multiply your resources with integrity. These three alignments are just part of the ten. But if you dial them in, everything else starts to rise with them. Pause. Reflect. Realign. That's how you systematically harmonize ambition and well-being. That's how you truly put the HAPPY in your HUSTLE. Connect with Cary!

Have you ever wondered why your decluttering systems only seem to work for a week before falling apart? Why you can't seem to stick with routines that work perfectly for everyone else? The answer might surprise you—and it has nothing to do with your willpower. It's Not a Discipline Problem—It's a Capacity Problem In this eye-opening episode, Kathi Lipp and Tenneil Register explore the crucial difference between discipline and capacity—and why confusing the two leads to shame spirals that make clutter worse, not better. Inspired by a powerful video from Dr. Raquel Martin, this conversation will change how you think about your decluttering struggles. What You'll Learn in This Episode The fundamental difference between discipline (habits, consistency, systems) and capacity (energy, margin, health, emotional bandwidth) Why you can't shame or discipline yourself into success when your capacity is depleted How to assess the real "size of your plate" before loading it up with expectations What discipline needs to work: simple routines, clear space, and repetition What capacity needs to be restored: sleep, stillness, fewer commitments, nutrition, and grace Why grief—including grieving lost capacity—plays a bigger role than you might think The Question That Changes Everything If you're constantly asking yourself "Why can't I keep up with my house?" or "Why do I always feel behind?"—stop. The real question isn't "What's wrong with me?" It's "What is my current capacity?" As Tenneil shares from her own experience recovering from an accident and loss, sometimes God's answer is simply: rest. Sleep. Stillness. Fewer commitments. And that's not giving up—that's giving yourself what you actually need to move forward. Key Takeaways Your goals aren't bad—your systems might just be built for a capacity you don't currently have When capacity shrinks, you need more support, curated priorities, and restored energy—not more willpower Exhaustion isn't a character flaw; it's information about your current circumstances Stop trying to put 10 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag This is part one of an important series on capacity, shame, and practical tools for maintaining your energy. Don't miss next week's continuation of this life-changing conversation.

Hey friend, let me catch you up I recorded this episode under a new-moon solar eclipse with my cows and donkeys chiming in. The cosmos felt like the perfect backdrop to share why I'm choosing stillness over hustle right now—and what that means for the podcast, my business, and you. Why I'm pressing pause (and how long) I'm giving the show a four-to-six-week breather. No, I'm not disappearing; I'm creating space to integrate some powerful shamanic work, deepen my spiritual studies, and refine how I serve. During the pause you'll still see quick reflections on YouTube and some throwback gems on socials. Simplifying for precision Over the last 18 months I kept hearing the same internal nudge: simplify. So I've trimmed extra masterclasses, sunset a few programs, and narrowed my offer suite. The result? More impact for you, more creative bandwidth for me. Decoupling money from success The moment I declared that my worth isn't tied to revenue, the universe hit me—hard. Each test of CHOICE reminded me that alignment is the real metric of success. If you've felt that tug too, you'll resonate with this part of the conversation. Intuition > intellect I share a few stories where decisions made with my gut flowed effortlessly, and others—over-engineered by my head—fell flat. The lesson? Stillness amplifies intuition, and intuition rarely leads us wrong. Living (and teaching) minimalist impact My goal is a business that thrives on about 20 focused hours a week so I can prioritize mentorship, creativity, and life on the farm. I invite you to ask: Where could a deliberate pause create momentum in your life? Want to go deeper with me (or Tina)? 1:1 Hypnosis & Identity Work – Wait-list now open; deposit secures your spot.

“Stillness removes the buffer. When you stop moving, sensation rises and that can feel uncomfortable AF.” Topics Discussed Why overdoing is often about avoiding stillness, not productivity How autopilot patterns keep the nervous system in motion The link between safety, control, and fertility burnout Why boredom and pauses support creativity and regulation Observing impulses without fixing, forcing, or judging Learning to choose stillness rather than demand it “The body doesn't avoid stillness without a reason. That reaction is information.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… This episode is for the woman who knows she is tired, but cannot quite slow down. The one who has done all the things. The journals. The planning. The perfect routines. And yet something still feels loud inside. We talk about why stillness can feel unsafe. Not because anything is wrong with you, but because stillness removes distraction. It asks you to be with yourself without a role, without momentum, without identity. And for many women on the fertility journey, that is where the anxiety lives. This week is not about forcing rest or becoming some calm unicorn overnight. It is about noticing. The reaching. The tightening. The impulse to fill space. And realizing that those mundane moments are where the deepest awareness begins. Next week, we soften even more as rest gets re-framed without guilt or shame.

Dr. Roger McFillin argues that Western allopathic medicine and psychiatry have medicalized normal human suffering by reducing emotions to biological or chemical reactions, turning symptom checklists into fixed identities, and sustaining a drug-driven "sick care" system that creates lifelong customers. He contrasts this with viewing emotions as powerful energy meant to be moved into creation and transformation, cites psychoneuroimmunology, and warns that suppressing fear and distress with pharmaceuticals can worsen long-term outcomes. The conversation covers exposure-based approaches to unlearn fear, the role of media, social media, and advertising in provoking fear and keeping people in an unconscious "drift" state, and the importance of intentional stillness, solitude (distinct from loneliness), prayer or silent meditation, and reducing phone use—especially at the start of the day—to become more conscious and intentional.    McFillin discusses how diagnostic labels like depression and anxiety shape identity, limit choices, and contribute to chronicity and polypharmacy. He contrasts PTSD with post-traumatic growth, emphasizing processing trauma memories, facing avoided situations, challenging overgeneralized threat beliefs, and practicing forgiveness and self-compassion while also taking ownership where appropriate. They also discuss the perceived harms of the "toxic masculinity" concept, men's wellbeing, the loss of wise elders, and how men often bond and cope through shared activities. Dr. Roger McFillin is a clinical psychologist and trauma recovery expert who challenges the medicalization of normal human emotions. With a focus on emotional resilience and personal growth, he specializes in exposure therapy and psychoneuroimmunology, exploring the connection between mind, emotions, and immune health. Dr. McFillin advocates for self-regulation and transforming emotional energy into healing, critiquing the overuse of pharmaceuticals in modern mental health treatment. Through his Substack, Radically Genuine, and podcast, Dr. McFillin educates individuals on overcoming fear, achieving stillness, and reconnecting with their true selves. His work empowers people to shift from a victim mindset to one of active growth, using trauma as a catalyst for resilience and positive change.   Science & Medicine   Psychoneuroimmunology   Overview & science (NIH): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3130991/   Exposure Therapy   Wikipedia overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_therapy   Cleveland Clinic explanation: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/25067-exposure-therapy   Anxiety & OCD exposure-based approaches (IOCDF): https://iocdf.org/about-ocd/treatment/erp/   Heart Coherence   HeartMath Institute overview: https://www.heartmath.org/heart-coherence/   Psychiatric Diagnosis & DSM   Critique of DSM and diagnostic categories: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4195174/   Psychiatric diagnosis controversies: https://www.apa.org/monitor/2013/04/diagnosis   Psychology & Healing   Post-Traumatic Growth vs. PTSD   Scientific overview of post-traumatic growth: https://www.apa.org/monitor/2014/01/psychological-recovery   Journal article on PTG vs PTSD: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0272735814000412   Forgiveness and Healing   Psychology Today on forgiveness: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/forgiveness   Research evidence on forgiveness and wellbeing: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1745691614568356   Self‑Healing Practices   Grounding / Earthing   What is grounding/earthing? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4378297/   PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) Therapy   Basics of PEMF therapy: https://www.health.harvard.edu/pain/pulsed-electromagnetic-field-therapy   Meditation & Stillness   Mindfulness & stillness research: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6422583/   Psychology Today on solitude and healing: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hide-and-seek/201209/finding-solitude-its-benefits-and-challenges   Cultural & Media Influence   Mind Control & Fear Provocation   The psychology of fear in media messaging: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.566245/full   Media influence and persuasion research: https://www.communicationtheory.org/agenda-setting-theory/   Toxic Masculinity   Research overview on toxic masculinity: https://www.apa.org/advocacy/health-men/guidelines   What toxic masculinity means: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-masculine-mind/201802/what-toxic-masculinity   Dr. Roger McFillin Content   Substack (Radically Genuine): https://drmcmillan.substack.com   Show Notes 00:00 Emotions as Energy 00:33 Medicalizing Suffering 02:44 Exposure Beats Suppression 05:18 Fear and Mind Control 10:21 Stillness vs Loneliness 14:47 Simple Stillness Practices 20:12 Morning Intention Rituals 25:56 Labels and Identity Traps 31:26 Systemic Treatment Harm 32:53 Depression Label Identity 35:08 Sadness Versus Pathology 36:10 PTSD And Growth 38:24 Processing Trauma Fully 41:44 Practical Recovery Steps 45:48 Forgiveness And Ownership 50:37 Toxic Masculinity Debate 56:12 Men Friendship And Elders 01:01:05 Closing Plugs Farewell 38:24 How PTSD Develops 41:44 Practical Trauma Recovery 45:48 Forgiveness and Ownership 50:37 Toxic Masculinity Debate 56:12 Male Friendship and Elders 01:01:05 Closing and Where to Follow   The Hart2Heart podcast is hosted by family physician Dr. Michael Hart, who is dedicated to cutting through the noise and uncovering the most effective strategies for optimizing health, longevity, and peak performance.

The noise of modern life doesn't just live around us, it lives inside us. Constant notifications, endless conversations, and the pressure to always stay switched on have quietly reshaped how we think, feel, and relate to ourselves.In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, I'm joined by Norwegian explorer and author Erling Kagge, one of the very few people to have reached the North Pole, the South Pole, and the summit of Mount Everest on foot.Through thoughtful reflection, lived experience, and gentle wisdom, this episode explores how silence can help us reconnect with ourselves, ease mental overload, deepen relationships, and live with greater intention in an increasingly noisy world.

What if God has been speaking to you all along and you just didn't know how to tune in? In this episode, we break down the practical, biblical framework for learning to hear the voice of God in your everyday life. This one could genuinely change the way you walk with Jesus. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:  ⚡️Why hearing God is less mysterious than you think  ⚡️How God communicates through your mind, body, and emotions  ⚡️The simple litmus test to know if it's God, you, or the enemy  ⚡️Why reading the Bible out loud changes everything  ⚡️How stillness, solitude, and silence unlock a new level of spiritual clarity  ⚡️Why community is essential to rightly hearing what God is saying This is one of the most practical and grounding episodes Daron has recorded, pulling from his own walk, a sermon series, the work of the Jamie Winship organization, and a stunning essay by a young leader at their church.

March is a divisive, electrically charged month, with all visible planets aligned on one side of the Lunar Nodes. Mars and a retrograde Mercury conjunct the North Node in Aquarius stir unrest, misinformation, and nervous energy, while the ongoing Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Pisces continues to dissolve idealism we can no longer rely on. The compensating factor is Venus exalted in Pisces, offering moments of grace, compassion, and connection amid the frenetic energy. Discernment is more possible, as Jupiter stations direct, keeping a close eye on proceedings.Venus in Pisces (March 1–25)Venus moves through its sign of exaltation, acting as the month's primary stabiliser. While it must pass through the Saturn–Neptune conjunction, it offers emotional softness, creative refuge, and spiritual connection. This supports compassion and empathy, but also warns against idealisation and escapism. Venus here can lift us above the chaos, but also asks us to stay grounded in reality.Full Moon in Leo — Total Lunar Eclipse (March 3)This total lunar eclipse marks a culmination and reckoning, particularly around leadership, authority, fame, and power dynamics. With Ketu involved, there is a stripping away — exposure, reduction, or removal of what no longer aligns with the groundswell movement in Aquarius. Personally, this eclipse asks for reflection on autonomy, self-expression, and projection. Collectively, it can fuel groupthink and scapegoating, even as it brings necessary revelations. Stillness, rather than reaction, is the wiser response.Jupiter Stations Direct in Gemini (March 11)Jupiter's direct station begins a slow restoration of perspective. Though uncomfortable in Gemini, Jupiter here encourages reassessment of information, narratives, and assumptions. This is not instant clarity, but a shift toward wiser discernment. It's a moment to pause, review what you know, and accept that decisions may still need to be provisional as the bigger picture emerges.Mars and Mercury Conjunct the North Node (March 13–15)This is one of the most volatile signatures of the month. Mars conjoined Rahu exaggerates drive, anger, and nervous tension before depletion sets in. Energy spikes are followed by burnout; action without awareness leads to disruption. This transit correlates with unrest, accidents, blackouts, tech issues, and erratic behaviour. The demand is for new strategies, not brute force. Persistence without adaptability may backfire.Sun in Pisces (March 14 – April 12)The Sun joins Saturn and Neptune, spotlighting leadership crises, power struggles, and confusion about direction. This exposes weaknesses, dissolving outdated structures. Though heavy, it offers the potential for humility, reflection, and recalibration — especially if ego is set aside. Equinox (March 20)The Equinox marks a threshold moment — a balance point between light and dark. With the New Moon and Lunar New Year occurring the day before, this period calls for slowness, attentiveness, and conscious transition. Rather than pushing forward, this is a moment to sense where the year is truly heading.New Moon in Pisces — Lunar New Year (March 19)This New Moon begins the Vedic year Parābhava, associated with decline, defeat, and the fall of entrenched power. Occurring in Uttara Bhādrapadā, it carries emotional gravity, moral seriousness, and the need for retreat. This is a deep reset — slow, deliberate, and foundational. The changes seeded now unfold over the coming year, demanding patience and trust in a longer arc of change.Mercury Stations Direct (March 21)Mercury's station brings the sense that movement is possible again, but with an important caveat: it remains tightly conjunct Rahu. While ideas and plans begin to take shape, confusion and distortion persist. This is a preparatory phase, not a moment for final decisions. Keep options open and allow clarity to mature into April.

High performers rarely struggle with discipline, they struggle with internal stillness. In this episode, Dr. Blossom breaks down why slowing down can feel unsafe to an achievement-wired nervous system and how to build the range to lead, think, and live without running hot all the time.

Send a textSometimes prayer feels like pleading and begging for something to change.Just Hoping God will fix the one thing that feels like the linchpin to our happiness.But what if prayer was never meant to be a tool to manage our life, and was always meant to be relationship?In Part 3 of The Power of Stillness, I'm sharing something the Lord has been teaching me, especially through my chronic health journey. There was a moment when I felt prompted to stop praying for healing,and instead start praying for trust and alignment.And it changed the way I commune with Him. If you've ever felt like God was far away in your most sincere prayers, this episode is for you.

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

He read the entire New Testament in a weekend. Fasted for 40 days. Got a Bible college degree. Got ordained. Pastored a church.And after all of that — 10 years of trying — he still couldn't hear God's voice.Mark Virkler wasn't casual about his faith. He was desperate for it to work. But every method he tried led to the same result: silence. No one could explain what God's voice actually sounded like. One teacher called it "subterranean rumblings of the spiritual mind." Another said "you just know that you know." None of it helped.Then one morning, God woke him up with a voice he couldn't ignore and pointed him to Habakkuk 2:1-2 — where he found 4 simple steps that changed everything:Stillness — quiet yourself and get beyond your own thoughtsVision — fix the eyes of your heart on JesusFlow — tune to spontaneous, flowing thoughtsJournaling — write down what you receiveWhat surprised Mark most? He realized he'd been hearing God his whole life — he just didn't know what to listen for. Those "brilliant thoughts" that seemed to come out of nowhere? That creative solution? That nudge to call someone? That was God. He'd just been attributing it to his own mind.In this conversation, Mark shares the full story — the 10 years of frustration, the wrong definitions that kept him stuck, the moment it broke open, and how an 8-year-old granddaughter now uses these same steps every single day.If you've ever thought "Why can't I hear God?" — this might be the reason.

In Christianity, power is unlocked in the strangest way. It is a bit upside-down.Stillness is our SUPERPOWERIt says in Psalm 37:11 The meek shall inherit the earth.We can be still because HE IS NOT STILL.You will never be more powerful than when you are bent before Him         How do I get to be powerful?Be meek. Be curved. Be bent before Him. Subscribe to hear more truth tomorrow:https://youtu.be/2IYL5yDazg8

High achievers have hundreds of contacts but no real brothers. Networking events leave you emptier than you arrived.Don't ask to "pick my brain"—you're missing the point. I'm here for connection, not transactions. Real brotherhood versus surface level: you need men who see your darkness and don't flinch. They call you on your bullshit, celebrate your wins without jealousy, show up when everything falls apart. Jesus knew which disciple would betray him but let him stay. That's the humility.Isolation isn't power—it's poison masquerading as strength. Work 4 hours, get more done than someone working 8. Stillness allows movement to compound. Who cares how zoomed in you are if the resolution is dog shit. You weren't meant to carry the weight alone.Listen if you're ready to build the tribe that makes you better. Lonely kings die early. Connected warriors build empires that outlast them.New episodes out every Monday and Thursday at 10 AM Eastern Time Get The Book - $29 https://go.justinegliskis.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=show_notes&utm_campaign=book_funnelEmail hey@justinegliskis.com to get in contact with meDiscover a podcast designed for entrepreneurs and solopreneurs navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship, offering insights on stress management, health and wellness, and overcoming imposter syndrome, while emphasizing work-life balance, energy alignment, and inner peace; explore topics like burnout recovery, business automation, scaling a business, business growth strategies, client management, mental resilience, overcoming anxiety, and achieving clearer thinking for sustainable success, using the blade of awareness, solving emotional dysfunction and unveiling the trickster within.

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).

There have been times in my life when I've lost the fire for God. That same hunger I once had to pray felt nonexistent. Reading the scriptures no longer clicked for me, and it felt like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube in my mind. Everything I knew about building my relationship with God just felt dry.You too might have felt a similar experience or are going through that right now. I want to share with you the most insightful things the Lord has taught me through these dry seasons, the importance they play in your walk with the Lord, and how to get that fire back.Why Do Dry Seasons Happen?Dry seasons aren't usually a "lightning bolt" event; they are often a slow leak.In my life, the dryness came when I got so caught up in wanting to create and help other people that I forgot to help myself. I was so busy trying to make an impact in the Kingdom that I neglected the King.I neglected my Helper (the Holy Spirit), and my cup ran dry.If we aren't continually filled, we have nothing to give.Here are the three most common "leaks":Priorities & Distraction: Like my story, work—or even "ministry"—can become an idol. When our schedule crowds out our intimacy, we lose our source.Unaddressed Sin: Scripture tells us in Isaiah 59:2 that sin creates a barrier. It's not that God leaves us, but sin muffles our ability to hear Him, making the season feel silent.Life Transitions: Sometimes, a sudden change—a move, a loss, a high-stress season—disrupts our rhythm. We are so busy adjusting to the "new" that we stop anchoring in the Eternal.But dryness isn't always the result of failure. Sometimes it is formation.Even Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness (Matthew 4:1). The desert wasn't punishment—it was preparation.Silence does not equal absence.Stillness does not equal abandonment.Read the rest here: https://litwithprayer.substack.com/p/the-desert-and-the-fire-navigating

In this powerful interview, JJ Brighton joins Emilio Ortiz on the Just Tap In Podcast to explore the growing awareness that humanity may be approaching a pivotal convergence point — one that echoes ancient cycles tied to Atlantis, timeline bifurcation, and the emergence of what many traditions call the Golden Timeline. Rather than fear-based predictions, this episode dives into consciousness mechanics: how collective choice, coherence, and awareness determine which future humanity stabilizes into. Together, they unpack recurring archetypal events, planetary memory, and why so many people are suddenly feeling a deep sense of remembrance, urgency, and responsibility at this moment in history.✦ LIVE IN-PERSON: Join JJ and Emilio at the Conscious Life Expo in Los Angeles (February 21st, 2026) to explore the rise of crystalline children and what it means for humanity's future | https://consciouslifeexpo.com/?ref=ymrhndyThis conversation bridges ancient knowledge and modern awakening, touching on Atlantis, multidimensional timelines, quantum choice points, collective consciousness, disclosure, and the role of embodied humans during periods of planetary transition. JJ shares insights on why certain “events” appear to repeat across civilizations, how they can be consciously navigated, and what it truly means to align with a higher evolutionary trajectory. This episode is not about predicting catastrophe — it's about understanding the deeper invitation humanity is being offered right now.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 – JJ Brighton Intro2:25 – The Global Era of Change 4:38 – The Golden Timeline & Harmonizing Shadow and Light7:31 – Soul Convergence & Awakening the Inner Master8:24 – Children Carrying Multidimensional Templates12:20 – Breaking the Illusion of the Generation Gap15:27 – Ancient Initiations & Remembering Past Lives16:38 – Atlantis, Egypt & the Concept of the Ancient Future19:14 – The True Wound of Atlantis29:16 – Spiritual Bypassing & Forcing Ascension Today34:16 – Nervous System Capacity & DNA-Level Remembrance35:42 – Sovereignty, Integration & Gentle Awakening37:39 – Anchoring the Codexes & the Arrival of 3I/ATLAS38:47 – The Diamond Sapphire Codex Explained42:55 – Light Language, Non-Verbal Codes & Translation48:47 – Cosmic Roots & Communicating Beyond Humanity52:48 – Language, Time & Rewriting Reality59:12 – Telepathic Children & Image-Based Communication1:05:24 – Conscious Life Expo & Live In-Person Activation1:15:26 – Unlearning Perfection to Meet the New Children1:17:07 – Stillness as the Most Powerful Human Choice___________________Guest: JJ Brighton | Activations with JJ ✦ Website | https://www.activationswithjj.com/✦ Courses | https://www.activationswithjj.com/offerings✦ Retreats & Excursions | https://www.activationswithjj.com/retreats-excursions✦ Activations with JJ Podcast | https://www.activationswithjj.com/podcast✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/activationswithjj/✦ Linktree | https://linktr.ee/activationswithjj Host: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/✦ Subscribe to Channel | https://www.youtube.com/EmilioOrtizSpecial Offerings to Support the Show:✦ Make a One-Time or Recurring Donation on PayPal

Keywordsclarity, stillness, vision, personal growth, self-discovery, permission, planning, patience, success, vulnerabilitySummaryThis episode discusses the importance of stillness in gaining clarity and recognizing one's vision. The emphasis on vision not something to be forced or created, but rather something to be recognized and allowed to emerge naturally. The conversation explores the significance of giving oneself permission to desire and evolve, as well as the challenges of navigating uncertainty and planning for the future. The reflection piece encourages listeners to reflect on their visions and to embrace the process of emergence without pressure.Takeaways- Clarity grows in stillness, allowing vision to emerge naturally.- Vision is recognized, not invented; it reflects who you are.- Success is defined by personal growth, not comparison to others.- Emerging vision is quiet and resilient, unlike forced vision.- Stillness allows for awareness of what truly matters.- Permission is essential before demanding a plan for vision.- Vulnerability can be a barrier but is necessary for growth.- Recognizing familiar patterns can guide you towards your vision.- Planning should evolve from a place of desire, not pressure.- Vision emerges through honesty, patience, and stillness.

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!"

What is the "Total Health" of a human being? In this soul-stirring episode of Love & Life Elevated, we sit down with legendary visionary Udo Erasmus—pioneer of the healthy fats movement and author of Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill. Udo's journey began with a focus on physical biology and essential fatty acids, but it evolved into a deep exploration of the internal environment—the "life force" that makes us whole. Together, we discuss why physical nutrition is only one piece of the puzzle and why "making time for stillness" is the ultimate prescription for a vibrant, meaningful life. In this episode, we explore: - The Wisdom of Stillness: Why being still is the foundation for mental clarity and spiritual health. - Beyond the Bottle: Moving from physical health (fats and oils) to the "internal environment" of the soul. - Coming Home to Yourself: How the "ache in the heart" is actually a call to return to our core being. - Practical Presence: Integrating moments of peace into a noisy, distracted world. Whether you are looking to optimize your physical vitality or find a deeper sense of calm, Udo's insights offer a roadmap to living more fully from the inside out.

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.
