Her services include meditation, breathework, holistic healing, transformational, and meditation coaching. I'm thrilled to have her here. She is such a beautiful person inside and out welcome. Kanwal. How are you today? I am wonderful. Thank you Caroline. For having me today. I'm so excited to be talking all things, holistic healing and meditation. I'm really, really excited to be here.  Thank you for inviting me to speak and to have a wonderful discussion with you, on the vitality feed. Oh, it's my pleasure. Um, so there's a lot of questions out there and I think there's a lot of confusion out there. And I was hoping today we can kind of debunk some of the myths and the beliefs that people have about maybe meditation being so difficult and hopefully giving people a little inspiration to get this practice into their life. One of my initial factors for having you on the show was that all the people that I ever have studied, that I feel have been successful, not necessarily in business, but just successful in life, have all had that foundation. So it's really important to me. I do it every morning and I would love to get a little more clarification. There's a lot of questions out there. And one of them that I thought was relevant was how do you find the time to meditate? And there's there a specific time you should. That's a great question. Well, what is a great time to meditate or ,is there even time to meditate are some of the questions that a lot of people will have, and when they're really starting to, like, let's say you get to know about meditation and someone tells your care, meditation's relaxing is really good to reduce stress levels and you'll get excited. You're like, okay, I want to do this thing, but then you don't know how to get started. It's  highly recommended that you do it in the morning, in the morning hours, right after you wake up. And if you have a yoga practice in your morning ritual , it's recommended to do it in those early morning hours. One of the teachers, um, this is Yogi and mystic that I follow Sadhguru. Uh, he highly recommends that in the morning times of that 6:00 AM 7:00 AM, but if you can't wake up for that, like that's okay. But if you wake up early anyway, why not do  five 10 minutes to get, to see where, um, what state you're in when you make up. Because our mind, the minute you wake up, it starts rushing. It starts doing these things that it has been doing for so long. And we just don't know how to, uh, really calm it down. So you could wake up in chaos from the dreams that you have had from the nightmares that you have had, or from the things that you slept with. And so really there actually is no better. Like, like best or worst time to meditate. You can meditate at any time. Um, but highly recommended to do it in those early morning hours, because then it sets you up for your day in a very nice way, in a smooth way where you can feel,  grounded. You can feel that sense of connecting to nature. That sense of being a little bit more integrated in yourself. It's better to do it at any time, then not do it at all , but I also do it in the morning in that alpha stage, as soon as my eyes open. It's the very first thing I do. I think it's a lot more calming because your brain, like you said, hasn't had a chance to rev up and start thinking about 8 million things that you need to do during the day. What positions would you say, I know I do mine in probably the most bizarre one out there , but is there a better position to meditate? So I think just traditionally, it has been recommended and it's beautiful to actually I sit in the cross-legged position, keeping your spine straight. So anyone who might not be able to sit in a cross-legged position and by cross-legged, I mean, that Lotus position that we see that so many,  meditation or yoga practitioners do so beautifully. , if you can't do that, just keeping your spine street and keeping your chin a little bit down is the way to do it. So if you have. , sensations in the body or any injuries and you can't sit on the ground and it's extremely uncomfortable because of an injury or an accident. You can sit in a chair and keep your spine straight your feet on the floor. And that's super simple, but if you want to sit in the most traditional yoga posture and that often. Um, they'll all just all this teachers and the way monks do it, then, then to sit in the cross-legged position, and just going into that stillness and into that calmness. Yeah. I think if there's parents out there, if you have children, I think they call that the pretzel position. Oh, very cool. All right, what happens if you're in the middle of a meditation and you start to fall asleep, any suggestions? In the beginning of your practice, in your meditation journey, trying to get into it, just allow yourself the first couple of times to let that feeling sink in and just allow it to. Go and fall asleep if needed and see how that feels, where vs when you actually stay awake throughout the five or 10 or 15 minute meditation, and you'll see the difference that when you truly meditate, what we're actually trying to do is we're going inward. We're just listening to the thoughts, the feelings and the sensations, and we're being in the seat of the observer and the seat of the witness. So, if you fall asleep, you're not witnessing anything, you are falling asleep and that's also relaxing.  But that doesn't actually show you what's happening within your mind within what's happening in your body and it just is happening as a result of the first couple of times because your body is relaxing. So what you want to do throughout your five to 10 minutes meditation, even the briefest ones, even two minutes is just to breathe in and out, breathe in and out. And what that does it, you bring your focus and awareness to the breath. And as you do that more, you actually don't fall asleep. Then you truly fall into this beautiful place of, um, just relaxation. And then you actually want to be there and you actually no longer want to fall asleep. That sounds very lovely. Does meditation actually improve your health? Absolutely. So meditation is known to raise your awareness. You know, raise your awareness levels and self-awareness, uh, it helps to bring you into the present moment. So imagine if you're thinking of things in the past and the future, you indulge in worry and stress and anxiety. And a lot of people fall into depression. Let's say you're in college and you're getting started or you're a founder of a company or a startup, right or they can entrepreneur and there's just a lot of stress. A lot of responsibilities are not just professional, but personal as well. What it's doing is it's just trying to bring you back into this present space and you can actually , become more aware. So it improves memory, it improves your concentration, your imagination, your creativity. That's how it's improving your health. It's increasing your patients and your tolerance levels. So imagine if you're on a go, go, go, go, go. And you don't know how to balance yourself or ground yourself. Um, How beautiful is it that meditation can increase your patient's levels and tolerance levels. And one of the biggest things that has been said, and scientifically proven, even it actually, uh, it helps you manage with stress reduction. So it builds the skills and this memory muscle, um, to reduce, um, stress and anxiety. So, what you're telling me, is that I need to meditate more, totally need to meditate more. I think I have an extend my time because patients and memory and stress, this all things, I have good stress and there's a difference.  I need to change my morning habit a little bit. One of the other questions that I had was how do you deal with a lack of focus? Yeah. So lack of focus comes from when you are a little, all over the place, you have a lot of things on your plate. There's a lot of stuff happening and it can come from a place of that. Not being clear on what you want and what you need. So in a meditation, a what. In order to, you know, get the focus back or concentrate. What we do is we tap into the senses. So hearing listening, smelling, what does it feel like, tasting. So getting in touch with your senses, helps you to focus.  When we first do meditations,  even the first two, five minutes ones with any teachers, you will see that they get you to focus on different parts of your body. And that focus really also means raising a level of awareness. So when you actually start to focus on different parts of the body, you just hone in on that area.  What it does is that then there is no way for you to have a lack of focus on anything or distracted. You are focused on your third eye. You're focused in your heart center. You're focused in your belly and you get to watch what is happening . If you're like a founder or an entrepreneur, or which a lot of us are, we can get into this state of procrastination and the state of like, Ooh, like I have to do more and more and more. And then you actually lose focus on the most prioritized items in your life. And in order to do that is to just concentrate on one thing at a time, whether that is, in your meditation when you go inwards or that is when you go outwards externally, your eyes are open and you're living the life that you're living. That is such good advice because being focused, you get so much more done and faster.  That's it an interesting concept , when you focus through your meditation, you can bring that same discipline outside of that and utilize that in the rest of your life to behoove you as well. I love that. Can we do a little meditation? Would you mind? I would absolutely love, love to lead you all through a meditation. Okay. I will hand it over to you whenever you're ready.   So when you're ready, what I'd love for you to do right now is to find a comfortable position, whether it is cross-legged or you're sitting on a chair, keep your spine straight your feet on the floor. And when you're ready, close your eyes and take a long, deep breath in, fill up your belly, fill up your lungs and fill up your chest. An exhale from the mouth, releasing everything you don't need. Fill up the belly again, inhale the lungs and the chest and exhale from the mouth. Let's do it one more time. Inhale through your nostrils, filling up the belly. The lungs and your chest taking in the air and exhaling through your mouth. Just taking a moment now to arrive here in this space, going inward, coming into this present moment. Breathing in, through the nose and breathing out . Our focus is simply on the breath. Breathing  in through the nose and breathing out, take a few more moments as you just bring your focus and your awareness to your breath, breathing in and breathing out. Beautiful. Continue at your own pace. Remember there's nowhere to be, and there's nothing else to do. Right now, you're here in the present moment in your most internal sacred space, connecting with the most important thing, your breath. So focus on your breathing, breathe in and breathe out. In and out through the nostrils, beautiful, Bring your focus and awareness to your belly. And as you inhale, watch your belly rises. Then as you exhale, watch your belly faults inhale again and watch your belly is rising. The next Halen, watch your belly is falling to this for a few more moments. Good focus is on your belly. Your awareness is in your belly. Relax your belly, relax your internal organs, your liver, your kidney. Just relax. Breathe in and watch the rising to the belly and the falling, with every exhale as you do this. Your body is relaxing. And now just offering gratitude For this practice and when you're ready, you can open up your eyes, come back into the space That was very relaxing and refreshing. And I definitely learned things that , I don't think I've been doing, as clearly as I should with my breath work. We all focus on food. We focus on water. We focus on exercise. How long can you sustain yourself without breath? But food is days and water is also, you know, uh, such a long time, but we don't focus enough on breath, and it should be on the priority list, because like I said, we focus on all those other aspects, which obviously isn't as important to our bodies since we need breath first and foremost. So thank you so much. That was really cool. I always ask everybody my little signature question.  If there's one thing that you can eliminate from the world, what would it be and why? For me, I care about the youth. And I care so much about feeding the children. And so we have, around the world, millions of children who are homeless and who live in poverty and who don't have, who don't have, you know, the basic necessities of life. And so for me, what's so important and so close to my heart is to get these children off the street and for them to be fed for them to have the education that they need and deserve . And so. Eliminate poverty, eliminate the hunger. What is important for me is if I could, do any through the efforts that I'm launching now and in the near future is to add on to this area, to get our children off the street and to give them homes, to give them food, give them shelter, give them education, gives them every single thing that they deserve, uh, because they're worthy and they're loving. I'm doing it already, but I'd love to do it on a much, much bigger scale and leave a huge impact. That that was beautiful. Um, couple of things with that, Tony Robbins, I know is huge into feeding people and he has a mass mission, and I know he's fed millions, on a personal proud parent moment here. I'm going to brag, my daughter,  it was during, I'm not sure if it was hurricane Katrina. It was one of the hurricanes in the United States. She saw the news that was disturbing to her about all the people who needed food. And she asked if we could do a food drive little did I know what I was venturing into? Um, and I said, yes. Um, and it got very big. And in fact, she held the record for the Salvation Army for the single largest donation of food in their history. She was written up in the Atlanta. Journal Constitution , as well as the Washington Post.  And I had her articles framed.  It was really neat. But we made many trips. Filled my big suburban many times it was, it was really awesome. But I agree with you, that is such a bare necessity. Like breathing people don't think about it and we waste so much food. Yes. We're taking a lot for granted and like you had already. I want you to agree with you on how breath is taken for granted and how, how breath is so important. It's so vital to our living that it's so important. So consequential, and that if we were to focus on this every day in and out, we weren't actually see that we get to be grateful for a lot of things. Uh, and yeah. What, what a beautiful job like your daughter taking on this project and caring and wanting to make an impact at such a young age. Uh, so the future looks bright, not just for her, but for children, um, even younger than her. Show compassion! I love that.  Where can our amazing listeners connect with you? And I will also include this information in the show notes. They can connect with me on my website, on Instagram, Facebook we're on YouTube and LinkedIn. So you can just look us up on Growthspire, G R OW T H S P I R E and you will find us and we'd love to connect with you. We'd love to help you on your journey. We'd love to get you to connect with your breath and find that relaxing, calm, peaceful states that maybe you have been looking for for so long. And it's so easy you to get, there are only a few allow and only if you're open to it. Thank you for coming today on the vitality feed and I know you're in Thailand,  we've had some weather issues, but we've gotten through this. . And I really appreciate you. And,  like I said, you're such a wonderful person. And I'm so glad that I have met you and get to share this journey with you.

In today's stress-packed world, more and more people are looking for easy ways to relieve their stress and anxiety. A great place to start is to practice mindfulness — not only ourselves but our children as well. Being mindful means focusing on the present to find inner peace. What is something you love that brings you peace? It could be listening to your favorite music, going outside, or even meditating! Whatever it may be, it's so important to make sure we take five minutes out of our day with our kids to practice mindfulness. In this episode of Finger Painting the Future, Florence Ann and Joe speak with Adam Avin, teen mental health education advocate & founder of Wuf Shanti Children's Wellness Foundation, about how we can practice mindfulness with our children.

Marc Ching has all of the makings of a superhero. He is the founder of the Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation, which is an organization that’s dedicated to rescuing abused and neglected animals. In 2015 he expanded that outreach to include rescuing dog from the horrific Asian dog meat trade - where it’s estimated that 30 million dogs a year are killed for their meat. What makes it especially horrific though, is that many of those dogs are brutally tortured first. Between 2015, when he first he learned of the trade and 2018, Marc has made close to twenty trips going undercover into multiple dog slaughterhouses. When he’s been inside, posed as a wealthy meat buyer, he has filmed hundreds of videos that show some of the worst things that human beings are capable of: dogs being nail gunned to walls, being beaten with lead pipes and bats, being blowtorched, having their limbs chopped off while they bleed out, all while the dogs are fully conscious and alive. This is done because of the myth that dogs that die in terror and agony taste better. I think that until Marc started risking his life to go inside and make these videos, very few people in the US at least had any idea that the dog meat trade even existed and far fewer knew of the torture that often goes hand and hand within it. Marc is a huge hero of mine but I would guess that he’s a huge hero of anyone who has ever met him. He’s tough, he’s brave, he’s relentless, and he is as compassionate as they come. He is one of those people who - the minute that he heard about something terrible happening jumped on a plane, and then he figured out how he could help. He hasn’t stopped helping since, not only with dogs from the meat trade but also in the US, taking on some of the hardest rescue and abuse cases there are, running clinics and doing rescue in Mexico, and working on legislation and changing laws to give the animals here better lives. I interviewed Marc right after one of these trips. He’d just returned from China, Cambodia, and South Korea. Our conversation will give you some insight as to what he’s faced, what these dogs go through and just how incredibly difficult the work he’s done and is doing is. Just a warning, some of what we discuss is tough to hear: details on some of what he’s seen, filmed and bared witness to inside the slaughterhouses. I think our minds often want to skip through the terrible parts because it’s so hard to hear about, but I also think that’s part of our responsibility as humans on this planet, to bear witness to see or hear about what we are doing to other species. If Marc can be in it, and see it first hand and film it and if these animals have to actually endure it, then I think that the least we can do is allow ourselves to hear about it, to become aware of it. 

In episode 257 of Unshakable Self-Confidence, Founder and President of The Wellness Foundation, Greg Parry asks us, "Do you really accept yourself?", as well as teaching us a simple breath exercise to release stress and help us let go of our negative attitudes.

A great conversation with Erin Kowalski from Bialy's Wellness Foundation! Sooo many people asked for her to be a guest and she was phenomenal. The story of Bialy is a tough one and I think it is soooo important for people to hear. "No kill" is such a buzzword, rightfully so, and unfortunately sometimes all avenues have been exhausted and tough decisions have to be made. That is reality. It does not mean it is easy. No one is more genuine and giving than Erin.  We also reminisce about Lt. Dan...it is a great listen. 

Ep 141 features Ryan Dedmon, Outreach Director with the 911 Training Institute and creator of the popular blog Operation 10-8. In this episode I finally got the chance to not only have Ryan on an episode where we are face-to-face but we finally met after almost a year of talking online. Ryan explains the reasons why the 9-1-1 Wellness Foundation closed its doors and what's new in the world of the 9-1-1 Training Institute.  This is a must listen so please check it out and share it.

“I’m a huge believer in humanity. I wake up and look at my children and I see something that’s so pure; at that age they don’t know what violence is; and they don’t know how to hate yet. And I think that is what inspires me to do the things that I do.”Marc ChingThis week's guest is a straight up hero.One of the most courageous and committed animal rights activists I have ever met, Marc Ching (@animalhopeandwellness) is the founder of Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation, a non-profit devoted to the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs abused and often tortured at the hands of the Asian dog meat trade.A family man, successful small business owner and animal lover who has been treating dogs (and humans) for years as a holistic nutritionist, in 2011 Marc began using his skills to rescue and rehabilitate abused dogs in need and place them into homes — work he does primarily in and around his home in Los Angeles.But Marc's evolution into an ardent animal rights activist didn't begin until 2015, when he heard about something called the Yulin Dog Meat Festival in China.He understood that dog meat is simply part of the regional cuisine across many parts of Asia. What he didn't understand were the reports of mistreatment and abuse. So he decided to infiltrate the festival to learn more.What Marc discovered was an utterly horrific, systemic practice of torture far more pervasive than anything he could have previously imagined.Life for Marc would never be the same again.According to the Humane Society, 30 million dogs are slaughtered every year across Asia with an estimated 10 million per year in China alone. A significant portion of these animals are brutally tortured — often burned and boiled alive prior to death — a practice attributable to the bizarre and misguided belief that tortured dog meat tastes better and provides enhanced health benefits.Let that sink in for a moment.Attending Yulin transformed Marc from an essentially normal, suburban family man into a man obsessed. Over the last two years, Marc has devoted all his free time and resources to combating the Asian dog meat trade. Posing undercover as as a wealthy dog meat buyer, he has traveled extensively across China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, South Korea and Indonesia to document and expose the inhuman practices of this barbaric industry.This is dangerous work. Marc has been chased, harassed, beat up and even shot. But to date, he has saved over 1,000 dogs, many on his own dime. More importantly, his work has been essential in catalyzing global awareness of dog meat trade practices, which in turn has led to legislative and regulatory reform.There is something undoubtedly heroic about Marc. But it's a heroism that comes at a cost. This work has traumatized him. Perhaps even permanently damaged him. He's made peace with the trade-off. Maybe that makes him even more heroic. I don't know.Mark's work has been extensively profiled in outlets that include the New York Times, Forbes, Entrepreneur, The Hollywood Reporter, The Telegraph, The Independent, Buzzfeed, and even Breitbart.It's an honor to celebrate the difficult work that Marc does. My hope is that this conversation will raise additional awareness around wrongs we must collectively work to correct.NOTE: The subject matter of today's conversation is disturbing. It's an emotional conversation that traverses sensitive issues. That said, I believe it's an important conversation to have as conscious, global citizens. A conversation I don’t think we can or should shy away from.On that note, I encourage all of you to listen and listen with an open ... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I recorded episodes with great people that year including Jim and Dee Ann and afterward I was advised that I would be doing the podcast at the national show in North Carolina. I remember standing there in shock at everything that was happening and Jim pulled me aside, put his arm around me and said, "This is how it starts, it's where your change begins."  I will never forget that day.

Welcome back to another episode of Within the Trenches. It has been a busy month! Since the last episode I have been training dispatchers on text FOR 911 platform textty. It has been a lot of fun though and I love what I do. On top of that I can officially say that the 911 Wellness Foundation and Within the Trenches are now strategic partners. What that means is that we are working together to reach a greater audience by utilizing each other’s outlets. I have also been talking with my co-host Whitney and we are going to plan on recording more episodes together via Skype. It has been a bit hard to do episodes together since I moved to Indiana but we are getting things planned out and I am very excited. On today’s episode I had the chance to speak with Melinda and Patti of the 9-1-1 National Public Educator Forum (NPEF). This was a great episode to record and we had a lot to talk about. The topics ranged from how NPEF started, a PSA that was recorded at their most recent conference and a GoFundMe project involving a Cell Phone Sally app for smartphones. This is a must listen episode so check it out and share! As always you can email the show at wttpodcast@gmail.com. See below for more information on NPEF and the links mentioned on the show.

Good morning and happy Friday! This has been an amazing week for me. I had the chance to attend the 2013 NENA conference in Lansing, Michigan for 9-1-1 professionals. I attended some excellent classes and met some great people doing great things. In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Dee Ann, assistant director of Tuscola county 9-1-1, an ENP and one of the founding board members of the 911 Wellness Foundation. Also sitting with us for this episode was Jim Marshall with the 911 Wellness Foundation and also the director of the 911 Training Institute. This is an episode that you do not want to miss. The information in this episode is important for everyone and Jim even gets me with a Jedi Mind Trick by getting me to admit a few things. It definitely felt good to admit those items so thank you Jim and Dee Ann for helping me and those in our field.
