Send us a textStep into the raw, powerful journey of Justin, a guest returning to the Self Reflection Podcast, as he joins host Lira Ndifon for an unvarnished conversation on mental health. Justin Witte, author of "The Shadowed Soul" and "A Vicious Cycle," shares his extraordinary experience navigating a life marked by profound childhood abuse, chronic suicidal depression, and a litany of diagnoses including schizoaffective bipolar type, ADHD, dyslexia, PTSD, and an organic brain disorder. Now 19 years sober, Justin reveals how self-reflection, a radical shift in perspective, and the ancient practice of meditation (specifically Chautaka or single-pointed concentration) became his roadmap to rewiring his brain and finding inner peace, even when traditional medications failed.This episode fearlessly confronts the escalating mental health crisis, particularly among men. Lira cites jarring statistics: in 2022, men died by suicide 3.85 times more often than women, with white men accounting for 68.46% of these deaths. Suicide was the 11th leading cause of death in America, with 49,476 lives lost and an estimated 1.6 million attempts. Justin unpacks complex societal factors contributing to this crisis, including the isolating impact of technology, shifting gender roles, economic pressures requiring higher education, and the often-unacknowledged struggles of men in modern society. He argues that the increasing disconnect from genuine human interaction and the curated realities of social media exacerbate feelings of worthlessness and contribute to the alarming rise in depression and anxiety. Justin offers profound insights into the nature of suffering, panic attacks, and the illusion of external reality, drawing from his unique blend of personal experience, Western science, and Eastern philosophies like Vedanta. He vividly describes the terrifying grip of panic attacks and how he overcame them through focused meditation, emphasizing the neuroplasticity of the human brain. This conversation is a vital call for empathy and action, urging listeners to seek support if struggling, and to embrace the transformative power of self-expression and connection.

In this episode of the RWS Clinician's Corner, Margaret sits down with Ashok Gupta for a deep dive into the brain's pivotal role in chronic illness—exploring how conditions like Long Covid, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, mold toxicity, and persistent inflammation can often be rooted in neural and nervous system dysregulation. They discuss the distinction between hardware (the body) and software (the brain and nervous system), the science and process of limbic retraining, and practical ways clinicians can integrate these approaches into their practices. In this interview, we discuss: -Brain retraining vs. meditation/stress reduction -The concept of creating and rewiring neural pathways -Acute vs. chronic illness: transition due to overactive protective responses -The role of genetic predispositions (e.g., detox ability, immune differences) -The three “R”s of brain retraining: regulate, retrain, re-engage -Practical considerations for implementation, maintenance, and long-term success -Strategies for integrating these techniques/the Gupta program in clinical practice The Clinician's Corner is brought to you by Restorative Wellness Solutions.

Patrick Belisle, Director of Philanthropy at the Hoffman Institute Foundation, is our guest today. A self-described practical mystic, Patrick embarked upon a spiritual journey that took him around the world and the country. In 2022, he participated in what he calls the pinnacle of his spiritual journey, the Hoffman Process. In this conversation with Drew, Patrick shares his unique perspective on money as “financial energy.” He explains how philanthropic giving is a win-win; a way to fulfill both parties' goals and dreams. Patrick's approach to money will inspire you to craft your own financial story. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Patrick and Drew. More about Patrick Belisle: Patrick Belisle is a self-described "practical mystic" who studied theology with Benedictine monks at his college in Minnesota, meditated with Buddhist monks in Thailand, and had a powerful spiritual awakening at the Osho Commune in Pune, India. He and his wife Jane, also a Hoffman graduate, traveled around the world for a year, and around North America for another three years, in search of the meaning of life. They live happily and authentically in Charlottesville, Virginia. Over the years, Patrick has worn many hats: He is a longtime student and teacher of famous psychic Edgar Cayce's readings. Patrick had a 15-year tenure as a Director at Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.) in Virginia Beach, VA. He's also worked for Dr. Ian Stevenson's Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia for many years. UVADOPS.org applies rigorous scientific research to Near-Death Experiences (NDEs), children who seem to remember past lives, psychic phenomena, and other consciousness-related topics. Patrick has practiced hypnotherapy for many years. He has worked with young people in many capacities, facilitated various relationship workshops, and officiated over 60 weddings, baby blessings, and celebrations of life. Patrick currently serves as Director of Philanthropy at the Hoffman Institute Foundation. He helps raise over $2 million annually for student scholarships and teacher training. Beginning in 2025, Patrick and Hoffman's Board has set a goal to raise $25 million to purchase and renovate Hoffman's new Santa Sabina campus in San Rafael, CA. Santa Sabina will open in 2026. His unique perspective on money as “financial energy” will inspire you to think of your financial energy in a whole new way; how it comes to you, how you use it, and how it all works.

People may fear giving credit because they worry it will diminish their status. But research shows the opposite is true: sharing credit actually boosts respect and trust. This paradox lies at the heart of status insecurity, a psychological trap that drives maladaptive behaviors and undermines relationships, careers, and personal wellbeing. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, we explore the vicious cycle of status insecurity, its impact on individuals and society, and how we can gently rebel against its allure. We'll also consider the story of self-help author Mel Robbins refusing to acknowledge poet Cassie Phillips or the pre-existing "Let Them" movement in her recent book. Does this move reflect elements of status insecurity? What Is Status Insecurity? Status insecurity arises when individuals feel their social standing is unstable or at risk. This can stem from comparisons with others, societal pressures, or personal failures. According to research by Katherine Hoff, Derek Rucker, and Adam Galinsky, status insecurity triggers a self-perpetuating cycle: Status Insecurity: Doubts about one's social rank or standing. Compensatory Consumption: Buying luxury goods or status symbols to "prove" worth. Financial Strain: Overspending leads to stress and anxiety. Reinforced Status Insecurity: Financial and emotional strain further undermines self-worth. Cycle Repeats: The individual doubles down on status-seeking behaviors, worsening the cycle. This cycle is particularly prevalent in consumer-driven cultures, where status is often equated with material wealth and individual achievement. The Reluctance to Share Credit Status insecurity is fueled by the fear that acknowledging others' contributions will diminish one's own standing. Yet, studies show that sharing credit increases respect and trust. As Adam Grant shared on Instagram: "Sharing credit doesn't detract from your success. It displays your character. 17 studies show that when people feel insecure, they hesitate to celebrate others—and fail to earn respect." Ironically, withholding credit can damage credibility over time. When individuals prioritise image over integrity, they risk eroding trust and undermining their long-term reputation. The Mel Robbins Controversy: A Case Study The recent controversy involving self-help author Mel Robbins and the "Let Them Theory" may illustrate the dangers of status insecurity. Robbins presented the "Let Them Theory" as her own idea, omitting any acknowledgement to Cassie Phillips, whose viral "Let Them" poem and tattoo movement led to Robbins' discovery. This decision may have stemmed from the pressure to maintain her status as an innovative thought leader in a competitive industry that celebrates stories of "self-made" figures. Yet, as the truth has emerged, her credibility has been questioned, with many followers expressing disappointed and even feelings of betrayal. Robbins' experience is a cautionary tale: prioritising status over transparency doesn't go down well in the long run. Honesty about the theory's origins could have enhanced her reputation, demonstrating humility and collaboration—qualities audiences value. The Broader Implications of Status Insecurity On Individuals: It leads to stress, anxiety, burnout, and self-sabotaging behaviors like overworking or people-pleasing. On Relationships: It fosters competition, jealousy, and transactional interactions, making genuine connections harder to form. I once knew someone trapped in this mindset. Every conversation turned into an opportunity to boast about their achievements and experiences. Over time, the group grew exasperated, and this person was inadvertently left out of the proverbial weekend brunch invitation. Their presence created tension and unease because they believed that name-dropping, one-upping, and status-signalling were ways to impress rather than frustrate us.

"What I See Is a Form of Vengeance." – A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 22Where in your life do you feel like the world or someone else is against you? In this episode of Love & Learn, we explore Lesson 22 from A Course in Miracles Workbook, which teaches that the way we see the world is a direct reflection of our own inner fears and attack thoughts. The word vengeance comes from the Latin vindicare, meaning to punish or claim justice—but in spiritual truth, the only thing being punished is ourselves when we hold onto attack thoughts.Key Insights from Lesson 221. We Project What We Fear: If you believe the world is harsh and unforgiving, you will find proof of it everywhere. Our perception is not neutral—it reinforces what we already expect.2. The Vicious Cycle of Attack Thoughts: When we see the world as full of threats, we live in defense mode, which fuels more conflict and suffering. This lesson invites us to break the cycle.3. There's a Way Out: The most freeing truth of this lesson is that what we fear does not actually exist—except in our minds. By choosing to see differently, we reclaim our peace.By practicing this lesson with openness, we begin to release the illusion of attack and step into a reality shaped by love instead of fear.Press play to explore how shifting your perception can free you from resentment, conflict, and the weight of seeing the world through a lens of vengeance.CONNECT WITH JESSICA FLINTWebsiteInstagramBOOK MENTIONEDAstrology for the Soul by Jan SpillerORACLE DECKS USEDTea Leaf Fortune CardsAnimal Spirit DeckThe Rose Oracle Deck
According to the United Nations, Sierra Leone is one of the countries most exposed to coastal erosion. More than two million people are threatened by rising sea levels. Even the capital, Freetown, and its informal settlements – built by reclaiming land from the sea – are on the brink of sinking. A phenomenon caused by climate change, but exacerbated by human activity. Submersion is accelerated by the country's extreme poverty, which pushes the population to destroy their environment in order to survive.

In this episode of "Transparency in Teaching," we tackle the hot topic of school choice and its potential impact on public education. On the surface, letting families decide where to spend their educational tax dollars on the school of their choice seems to make sense.

Today I started over a cycle of reading the Bible in a year. https://hoshanarabbah.org/pdfs/read-bible-in-a-year-2024-2025.pdf Wikipedia on Rosh Hashanah https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosh_Hashanah In the first reading of the yearly Bible reading in Genesis it's shows how God seems to have built this concept of cycles into the fabric of His creation. Day Week Month Year - disputes around the proper calendar - 12 months Shmita - 7 years - let land rest Jubilee - 50 years From Revival Ministries International Publish date: 03/30/2003 The Lord began dealing with me recently about the Year of Jubilee. I believe that this is our Year of Jubilee! In Nazareth, at His local Synagogue, Jesus was handed the book of Isaiah and He read from chapter 61: The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has anointed Me [the Anointed one, the Messiah] to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity], 19 To proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord [the day when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound.] Luke 4:18-19 AMP Jesus preached that the acceptable year of the Lord was here—the Year of Jubilee, which took place every 50th year—the day when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound (Leviticus 25). What Jesus was really saying was, "I am your Year of Jubilee!" THE LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai, 2 Say to the Israelites, When you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath to the Lord. 3 For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its fruits. 4 But in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath to the Lord; you shall neither sow your field nor prune your vineyard. 5 What grows of itself in your harvest you shall not reap and the grapes on your uncultivated vine you shall not gather, for it is a year of rest to the land. 6 And the sabbath rest of the [untilled] land shall [in its increase] furnish food for you, for your male and female slaves, your hired servant, and the temporary resident who lives with you, 7 For your domestic animals also and for the [wild] beasts in your land; all its yield shall be for food.8 And you shall number seven sabbaths or weeks of years for you, seven times seven years, so the total time of the seven weeks of years shall be forty-nine years. 9 Then you shall sound abroad the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month [almost October]; on the Day of Atonement blow the trumpet in all your land. 10 And you shall hallow the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his ancestral possession [which through poverty he was compelled to sell], and each of you shall return to his family [from whom he was separated in bond service]. 11 That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; in it you shall not sow, or reap and store what grows of itself, or gather the grapes of the uncultivated vines. 12 For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat the [sufficient] increase of it out of the field. 13 In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his ancestral property. 14 And if you sell anything to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another. Leviticus 25:1-14 AMP Under the Old Covenant every seventh year was a time to let the ground rest so that it could recover and come back stronger, producing a stronger, healthier, more abundant harvest. But the fiftieth year—Jubilee—was an extra special year. It was a Holy year. In the last year, before the year of rest, God caused the ground to produce three times as much fruit so that His people could eat and be satisfied whilst the ground rested and whilst they rested in His goodness. Jubilee is a year of faith—where you rest from your own labors and your own efforts—allowing God's goodness to lead you and feed you. God wants us to remember that it is He Who watches over us, feeding us, guiding us, and providing for us. If we forget this, we will wear ourselves out with our own efforts, but if we remember that He is the source of our life and every good thing in our life, then we can relax in Him and focus on worshipping Him and yielding to Him. Jubilee is a time to let slaves go free, to redeem what has been lost and to reach out and help both family and neighbors and those who cannot help themselves. In the year of Jubilee, even though you do not plow or prune or sow, you are still able to eat of the fruit that the ground produces. You cannot reap from a field that you have never sown, but when you have faithfully sown and sown and sown and then God calls a Jubilee year for you, then you know that it is a year of rest for you, a year of extra blessings, a year of eating from the abundance of the provision that your Father has provided for you as you rest in Him. When Jesus said, "Today is this scripture fulfilled in your ears," the people of Nazareth were very angry with Him and did not receive Him, but I declare to you today that Jesus is YOUR Jubilee—if you receive Him you will go free! Jesus has come to restore your joy, your family, your property and your inheritance. Every promise that God has made you in His Word is yours. So receive Him as your Jubilee—rest in Him and enjoy His blessings. https://www.revival.com/a/287-jesus-our-jubilee#:~:text=Jesus%20preached%20that%20the%20acceptable,profusely%20abound%20(Leviticus%2025). Continuing on with cycles: Beyond Jubilee? 1 day is as a thousand years. Plan for His creation built into the first week of Creation Why the Jubilee? Freedom, pointing to Yeshua Messiah 2030 https://youtu.be/4AG_nJNcTjM?si=4ONS-wbC3oOqQM3A Uses many prophesies and the concept of the Jubilee Entering into year 5785 What is purpose of cycles? Virtuous vs vicious cycles Do not just a mindless pattern but an opportunity to repeat and through our choices either improve or get worse, evolve or devolve, become more like God or less like God, more holy or more wicked, more wise or more foolish How does our culture generally and Christianity specifically treat cycles Main difference is degree to which they are specifically tied to God and His ways as defined by God Himself With time, our week begins on Monday and ends on Friday defined by our work, followed by a 2-day weekend, defined by our priorities (fun or home projects), if you're church goer that weekend also includes church on Sunday. What do we ask Monday morning and how do we answer? Our months vary in length of days, are named after Greek Gods. The year is mostly defined by a mix of civil and religious holidays, none if which were prescribed in the Bible and none of which significantly improve our understanding of God, His ways, and His grand plan for all time including His future plans, second coming of Christ and how we will spend eternity. Some other ways, depending on our interests, our cycles are defined are by sports or politics. There is no concept or even awareness of a Shmita or Jubilee year and there is no recognition of the moedim or appointed times throughout the year, namely the Lords Feasts of Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Shavuot, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Feast of Tabernacles. One exception is the Christian church celebrates Pentecost or Shavuot but because there is no attempt to understand how it was originally practiced much of its richness and meaning is lost. Why is this important? Virtuous cycle. By our definition? Improving financially? More educated (know more of what we think is important to know)? More loving? Love is the common agreed upon worthy goal, but how should love be defined, by us? By the creation or the Creator? One of Gods desires for us, as stated by Yeshua, is for us to worship Him in Spirit and Truth. The New Covenant as described in prophesies like Jeremiah as well as by Yeshua and writers of the New Testament is for the law to be written on our hearts. My limited understanding of this is that God wants us to love Him and others, and to do it in the way He wants us to do it. I've only been participating in and practicing the Lord's Feasts and observing His Sabbath on day 7 for a handful of years. I'm certainly no expert. But with my limited exposure and understanding I can see how following His law and His cycles of life, to the extent that I'm doing so, puts me into a virtuous cycle. Each day, week, month, year I'm learning more about the Fathers ways and how wonderful, and simultaneously complex and simple they are. I also am learning more about His great plan for all time including what to expect in the future. This is incredibly important at a time when the future of our nation and the world, as well as the future of our own personal lives, can seem on the surface to be so uncertain. We may at times feel like we've made no “progress” in our lives, especially if we're going a difficult season. With the proper perspective, though, we can see how God works what appear to us to be tragedies and “bad” events for our good, helping shape us to be more like Him, understand His character better, and be more dependent on Him. Praise: Malachi 3:6 "I am the LORD, I change not" James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Thank You Abba that You do not change. We're not trying to figure out how You changed, but rather than how WE need to change to be more like You, and more like the person You made us to become. Help us to understand how Your cycles which You built into the fabric of Creation are important, and why You asked us to follow them as You have commanded. And when we don't understand the why, Father help us to obey even without the full understanding and trust You that Your ways are best, best for us individually as well as best for all of mankind. Psalm 110:4: "The LORD has s

Weekend Cheating: Overcoming the Vicious Cycle for Fitness After 40 Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call: www.Over40FitnessHacks.com Over 40 Fitness Hacks Facebook Group In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, Brad Williams addresses the challenge of balancing weekend indulgences with maintaining fitness goals, particularly for those over 40. He discusses the "vicious cycle" many face when trying to burn off weekend calories during the week, explaining that weight loss becomes harder with age and requires more effort to achieve. Brad shares his personal approach, where he enjoys weekends but compensates with a strict, low-calorie diet and efficient workouts during the week. He emphasizes the importance of understanding calorie intake and expenditure, especially the hidden calories in alcohol and food consumed during social events.

In this conversation, Dr. Linda Bluestein interviews Ashok Gupta about his experience breaking the vicious cycle of chronic illness when he had ME-CFS. They discuss the impact of chronic conditions, the brain's priority of survival, and the vicious cycle of symptoms. Ashok explains the Gupta Program, which aims to make patients aware of subtle danger signals in the brain and retrain the brain's response. They also explore the concept of neuroimmune conditioned syndromes and address common myths about brain retraining. With a focus on hypermobility, they discuss the time commitment required to see results, different ways to engage with the program, the importance of somatic retraining and its impact on brain structures, and how clinicians can recommend brain retraining to their patients without sounding like gaslighting. They also explore the duration of the program, potential worsening during the program, and the accessibility and cost of the program. The conversation ends with a discussion on the power of neuroplasticity and a hypermobility hack to make friends with your body.TakeawaysChronic conditions often accompany joint hypermobility and can have a significant impact on individuals and the global economy.Brain retraining involves making patients aware of subtle danger signals in the brain and retraining the brain's response.The brain's priority is survival, which can lead to maladaptive responses and chronic illness.The Gupta program has shown promising results in improving symptoms and overall health in various conditions. Brain retraining requires a time commitment of at least 20 to 30 minutes a day, along with short exercises throughout the day.An independent audit looked at 16 different conditions for three months. They found improvement of 84% with Long COVID, 116% with Lyme disease, 67% with mold illness, and 85% with chemical sensitivitiesClinicians can recommend brain retraining by emphasizing that it is not in the mind but in the brain, and that the brain is triggering the immune and nervous systems.The program is a minimum six-month commitment, but some people may continue for longer to maintain their progress and manage stress levels.Some individuals may experience temporary worsening during the program, but with support and a balanced approach, positive results can be achieved.Healing and recovery are possible, and the brain's neuroplasticity allows for rewiring and improvement in various chronic conditions.Making friends with your body and accepting hypermobility as an attribute can shift your perspective and contribute to healing.The Gupta Program offers a free 28-day trial and a one-year money-back guarantee, making it accessible and low-risk for individuals seeking relief from chronic illnesses.Chapters ➡00:00 Introduction and Background01:43 The Impact of Chronic Conditions04:05 Understanding Brain Retraining05:21 The Brain's Priority: Survival09:40 The Vicious Cycle of Symptoms12:46 The Gupta Program16:28 Neuroimmune Conditioned Syndromes30:33 Time commitment for results33:07 Somatic retraining and brain structures34:23 Recommending brain retraining to patients36:06 Addressing the software issues37:58 Effectiveness of medications with brain retraining39:08 Duration of the program41:50 Potential worsening during the program43:15 Final thoughts and hope for healing45:28 Neuroplasticity and changing the brain51:22 Hypermobility hack: Make friends with your body52:30 Where to find more information about the program58:18 Duration and cost of the program59:25 Accessibility and money-back guaranteeConnect with YOUR Bendy Specialist, Dr. Linda Bluestein, MD at https://www.hypermobilitymd.com/.
