Are we mass, energy or space? That's the question many have pondered time and time again. The answer: we're all 3 at the same time. We are not just bodies of mass, though we feel the weight of our flesh, the solidity of our bones. Beneath this, there is a huge symphonic panorama inside of us, and when we tap into it, we can experience true healing and freedom. Often we focus on the mass aspect of existence, but the energetic aspect has a lot more power. The ever-shifting flow of energy that rises and falls within us expresses itself as emotion, movement, and sensation. The rush of excitement, the pang of sorrow, the heaviness of grief—these are all movements of energy that can shape our physical experience. Beyond the mass of our bodies and the energy within, there is space. When we tap into that space, we find a sense of peace, a realization that we are not just our thoughts or emotions, but something much greater. How do we access space and energy? How do we stop identifying with the fluctuations of energy and start identifying with the space that holds it? In this episode, we're joined by Gay Hendricks to talk about the power of mass, energy, and space, and how to stop living from the surface, but from the deeper, expansive place within us. Things You'll Learn In This Episode - Getting unstuck from your body traumas The mass that is our body is a repository of personal and generational grief and trauma. How does energy and space heal all of these things? - From repression to release We all possess within us an energy that flows freely. What are some of the things that compress this energy or misuse it? - Learn to be with fear One way humans do away with fear is trying to control everything. Why is letting go of control a necessary step to tapping into the expansive space with us?

Most people experience an injury or other setbacks as an enterprise of the universe working against us. But what if the setback is an important transition, a demarcation point between who we were and who we're going to be going forward? Maybe it's buried traumas we need to address, or physical healing that will make us stronger. We're being given the opportunity for a completion so we can move into a deeper level of harmony with ourselves and others. It's so easy to fall into the old programming of self-pity and sadness, but everything that happens to us is reality trying to tell us something important. It's a powerful opportunity to rewire ourselves. We can give an open invitation to the universe to rewire and reorganize us in a powerful way. Instead of asking “why is this happening to me”, we can ask “what is the deepest message this event is trying to tell me?” How do we stop recycling old patterns and traumas and put something to rest? How do we step into new energy instead of trying to fight it? In this episode, we're joined by Gay Hendricks and he shares what he's learned from a recent health setback. We also close off season 1 of this podcast by reflecting on lessons and powerful takeaways from this experience. Give an open invitation to the universe to reorganize you in the spirit of how you need to be now and what would best serve you now. -Gay Hendricks Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode -How to bring completion to a pattern For a lot of people, past patterns and traumas can continue recycling themselves and we find ourselves in a loop of rehashing them. How do we fully and finally flush those things from our hearts, minds and bodies? -An opportunity to rewire yourself Setbacks and challenges are something we often treat as the universe conspiring against us. Could they actually be the universe's way of helping us get rid of old energy and usher in what and who we need to be now? -Connection, discovery and a fluidity of intelligence As we reach the completion of the first season of the podcast, what are some of the biggest lessons and special insights we've gained from it?

In the journey towards our most expansive, genius self, one thing likes to trip us up - our upper limit. You'll see it in every culture, no one goes unscathed. If you've ever noticed how your big mess ups happen after something good happens - you might have an upper limit problem. Anytime we grow, a loud alarm goes off in our subconscious. Our job is to integrate our “more-ness” so we can truly experience our own lovability, wholeness, and essence. We have the wonderful treasure of becoming tuned in to our inner landscape, and that can help with the upper limit problem. Like a sophisticated heist crew, we can learn to move and expand without tripping that upper limit alarm. How do we identify our upper limit problem and make changes without tripping it? How do we let go of our superficial seeing-ness so we can identify energies in people? In this episode, we're joined by Gay Hendricks, and we talk about his new book “Your Big Leap Year”, how to deal with the Upper Limit Problem, and the beautiful story of how he and Katie met! The upper limit is our ability to handle more and more things going well. -Katie Hendricks Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode -How to identify an expanded essence How do we learn to read energy and get that real-time human data from the people we meet? -A physical upper limit problem We often use things like our weight to hide or buttress ourselves against the world and store our genius. How do we know when we're no longer hiding behind those facades? -Sneak expansion in How do we create slivers of creativity small enough so that we can expand without tripping the upper limit?

Whewwww our community is in an uproar currently! When the news first dropped that Deion Sanders was potentially leaving JSU, GhiaLogic was confused as well. Many questions arose but the answers helped clear up many things. As a community, we move a lot based off of emotion. Deion Sanders decision to leave the SWAC was probably a hard one that he pondered on for a minute. We do not know everything he experienced in those three seasons in Mississippi! Let's be quick to uplift and stand behind out Black leaders just as quick as we are to call them out. Let's show a little grace. This man helped Jackson State University land a primetime spot on ESPN. He helped them get new training facilities and Under Armour deals! He has accomplished so much for that school, the football program, the SWAC, and HBCUs in general. Let's be positive that he will be replaced with another strong leader. There are many angles to this story. GhiaLogic empathizes with everyone's opinion. But let's not expect him to be the absolute savior of HBCU Sports!

Fox Sports College Football Analyst Joel Klatt talked with Schlereth and Evans. He talked about why Drew Lock can't see the field. Talent means nothing is you don’t win games. As a longtime fan, Joel got passionate when talking about the struggling Broncos. He will also be calling the Michigan / Michigan State game, so he’ll be talking with Mel Tucker… The coach who burned the University Colorado not too long ago. So, Joel jokes about how he’ll handle the awkward pregame game interview. - Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty Images See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The immune system is complex, full of lairs of communication and strict regulation, all to keep us healthy and alive. But what happens when those checkpoints break down? In this weeks episode, we learn about how B-cells can turn against us and what that means. We talk to Dr. Roberta Polenda from University Colorado, Denver about her research on this subject.
Glacier National Park (0:00:00)In the Rocky Mountains of Montana lies a national park incomparable in beauty and adventure. Glacier National Park gets its name from peaks literally carved by glaciers. The park goes all the way to the Canadian border and is home to miles of hiking trails. To tell us more about this beautiful National Park and why you should consider making a trip there is Gina Kerzman, one of the park's employees. Self-Control (0:16:44)On The Lisa Show we talk a lot about having a good lifestyle. We've had many conversations about spending less time on our phones and planning healthy meals among other things we can do to improve our well-being. While all of these things will help us, the only way we'll see changes in our life is if we have self-control. To help us figure out how to have more self-discipline in all areas of our life, we invited Dr. Angela Duckworth onto theshow. She's a professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and a co-founder of Character Lab, a website dedicated to using science to build character. Finances in Marriage (0:37:35)One of the top stressors that contributes to divorce today is finances. Dealing with debt and other financial difficulties puts a strain on marriages and leads to a lot of blaming rather than problem-solving. With this looming fact in the air, we wanted get some expert advice on what couples can do better when handling money so they can eliminate stress and keep their marriages together. Our next guest, Rachel Cruze, is a #1 New York Times best-selling author and host of The Rachel Cruze Show where she helps people learn the proper ways to handle money and stay out of debt. She joins us today to talk about how we can improve our finances for the sake of our marriages. Cybersecurity (0:52:50)With our kids enrolling in Zoom University, online safety has become more important than ever. Cybersecurity is on all of our minds. So, what can we do to ensure our own internet safety? Here to give us some advice is tech consultant Anna Murray. Mini Book Club (1:10:16)Rachel Wadham, of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting, talks with Lisa and Richie about books that are banned from schools and the ones you should consider reading. Authentic Tacos (1:21:22)When you hear the word “magic,” what comes to mind? Fairy dust, unicorns, diet coke? For me, I think of tacos. Now I'm not talking about your fast food, 99 cent tacos; rather, your spicy, authentic tacos that you wash down with a crisp coca-cola. Today we have Raul Ortega, the owner of Mariscos Jalisco, L.A.'s repeatedly top-rated taco shop, here to tell us what makes a taco authentic and how to find the best taco shop wherever you live. Seeking Closure (1:30:44)We often refer to different periods in our lives as chapters. Eras that open and close, replete with different characters—all with their own individual story arcs. But as we all know, all good (and bad) things must come to an end. Sometimes, however, things don't end the way we want them to. We're left unsatisfied with the way the event transpired and with how it ended. So, we seek closure. What makes us seek closure? Is it just part of our DNA? Dr. Iskra Fileva, assistant professor of philosophy at the University Colorado, Boulder, is here to discuss closure, why we as humans crave it, and how to obtain it.
Journaling Techniques (0:00:00) At some point in our life someone, be-it a friend, parent, or teacher, has advised us to keep a journal. We've been told to do it for our posterity. Or maybe so that we'll be able to recall the important moments of our lives. But what about journaling for the purpose of improving our mental health? Research has shown that journaling can significantly improve the state of our mental health. So, we invited Dr. Stephanie Sarkis, counselor and anxiety disorder expert, here to discuss the benefits of journaling and how we can use different techniques to really maximize on its mental health benefits. A Values Based Approach to Finance (0:18:03) Now a days its feels like our lives are built around how many zeros are in our bank account. I'm not saying that having wealth is a bad thing... in fact, we all want to be financially stable. But we also need to make sure that we don't base our financial success solely on how much money we have stashed away. It needs to be built on something more. To help us create a values-based approach to financial success is Martin Hurlburt, a financial expert whose written several books, including “Yes, Money Can Make You Happy”. Everyday PTSD (0:36:49) Almost 8 million Americans suffer from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, with women being more susceptible than men. Because the numbers for PTSD are so high, we thought it would be beneficial to learn more about it. A whole host of factors can contribute to PTSD, and cases can range from moderate and rarely manifesting themselves to severe and life-ruling. Are there any permanent ways to move past PTSD? To answer this question, we've invited Bob Stahn onto our show. Bob is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Master Addictions Counselor. Why We Seek Closure (0:50:40) We often refer to different periods in our lives as chapters. Eras that open and close, replete with different characters—all with their own individual story arcs. But as we all know, all good (and bad) things must come to an end. Sometimes, however, things don't end the way we want them to. We're left unsatisfied with the way the event transpired and with how it ended. So, we seek closure. What makes us seek closure? Is it just part of our DNA? Dr. Iskra Fileva, assistant professor of philosophy at the University Colorado, Boulder, is here to discuss closure, why we as humans crave it, and how to obtain it. Bike Commuting (1:08:43) Do you ever find yourself caught in rush hour traffic, wishing there was some way to just zoom around it all? Depending on your commute, it may very well be possible! Some reports show that, on average, bicycles are 50% faster than cars during rush hour. Not only that, but adding a bicycle commute to your daily routine is a simple and fun way to get more exercise, save a little money on gas, and reduce your C O 2 emissions. Biking to work is more nuanced than going for a leisurely bike ride, but that doesn't mean it has to be hard. Here to help us learn the ropes is Doctor Rich Conroy, a League Cycling Coach for the League of American Bicyclists. He is also Director of Education at Bike New York. Confidence Boosters (1:27:44) A recent survey of hundreds of people across different nationalities showed that Americans are the most confident breed of people in the world. But is that really the truth? How many of us get excited about presenting at a staff meeting, or really relish meeting new people, or look in the mirror every morning and really appreciate what we see? I'm not sure our entire nation could say yes to all of those. So, what is confidence really, and how can we build ours? Joining us again on the show to teach us more is Kimberly Seltzer, a therapist and certified confidence and dating coach.

I think meditation has opened up a space in which I can really feel my emotions. Like right now, if I felt sad, I could feel it in my chest and I could say, I'm sad. I wasn't able to do that forty years ago.Thoughts on BreathingI've written a whole book on breathing called 'Conscious Breathing'. I discovered that oftentimes clients and myself would, when we were trying to cut off emotions from ourselves, would cut off our breathing. We would hold our breath or restrict our breathing. Whereas if we open our breathing up and take full easy breaths, we can be much more aware of our emotions on a moment to moment basis. So I use my breathing as a barometer of exactly how I'm feeling. If I feel a big, easy, open flow of breathing, that usually tells me things are going on really well, but if I feel myself clamping down and not breathing as much, it's because usually there's something I'm anxious about that I haven't opened up to or some worry I have that I haven't gotten clear about. So I use my breathing as a powerful barometer.Suggested ResourcesBook: The Conscious Breathing Book by Dr. Gay Hendricks / The Big Leap by Dr. Gay Hendricks / A Path With A Heart by Jack CornfieldApp: SuperMindApps.com An app that helps you learn to love yourself.Advice for Newbie Take ten minutes wherever you are and just pay attention to your breathing. Even if you're sitting on a subway. Don't try to make yourself breathe any which way, just take a moment to tune in and notice and then you can certainly get more elaborate with meditation if you want to use a mantra or take specific training in it, that's a really good thing also. In the beginning have the willingness and the courage to pay attention to yourself. The philosopher, Blaise Pascal, hundreds of years ago said that all of our problems as human beings could be cured if we could sit in a room by ourselves for ten minutes doing nothing.Thank You Bonus: As a thank you for listening, download your Fine Tune Your Focus, 5 Day Challenge.
