Most people think performance is about more reps, more data, more tech, or more intensity. But according to human performance educator Rob Wilson, the truth is far more uncomfortable: most elite performers don't actually understand their own bodies, identities, or inner signals—and it's costing them years of longevity, clarity, and resilience.In this powerful conversation, Mark Divine and Rob Wilson break down the real keys to performance longevity, emotional resilience, identity beyond your job title, and why self-awareness is the most underrated skill in elite sport, tactical teams, and everyday life.From breathwork, interoception, and spinal health… to transitions out of high-status careers… to the hidden dangers of burnout and tech dependency… this episode explores the deep work behind staying healthy, powerful, and fully human in a high-performance world.If you're an athlete, coach, operator, or leader who wants to sustain excellence without breaking your body, mind, or identity—this conversation will shift how you train, lead, and live.In this episode, you'll learn:1. Why high performers must become “problem seekers,” not just problem solvers2. How to become the observer of your own training instead of a consumer of metrics3. Why tech overload is weakening self-awareness and decision-making4. How breathwork and spinal health unlock long-term resilience5. Why identity collapse affects elite operators and athletes after transition6. How emotional intelligence amplifies performance and protects mental health7. What it really takes to prevent burnout and injury in high-stress environments8. Why ancient mind-body practices still outperform the newest fitness techJoin The Unbeatable Tribe on SkoolA leadership community for high performers who want to grow with purpose, courage, and accountability.https://www.skool.com/unbeatable-mastery-tribe/aboutSubscribe to Mark's Leadership & Mental Toughness NewsletterWeekly insights to help you build elite resilience, discipline, and clarity.https://markdivine.com/newsletterRob Links:Website: https://www.wilsonhealthandperformance.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecheckenginelight/?hl=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-wilson-929b6a152Simplifaster.com: https://simplifaster.com/articles/author/robwilson/Mark Links: Website: https://markdivine.comThe Unbeatable Tribe: https://www.skool.com/unbeatable-mastery-tribe/aboutDivine Inspiration Newsletter: https://markdivine.com/newsletterYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@markdivineofficial/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markdivineofficialLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdivine/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/markdivineofficial/Subscribe to https://www.youtube.com/@markdivineofficial for more inspiring conversations on leadership, growth, and impact.Rate and review the show to help us reach more listeners.Share your thoughts and takeaways in the comments!#MarkDivine #RobWilson #HumanPerformance #EliteTraining #PerformanceLongevity #MentalToughness #Breathwork #Interoception #IdentityShift #LeadershipDevelopment #SpecialOperations #PeakPerformance #MindBodyTraining #ResilienceBuilding #UnbeatableMindTimestamps00:00 Introduction and Current Focus00:26 Health Monitoring Technology Debate01:02 Welcome to the Mark Divine Show01:31 Rob Wilson's Background and Achievements02:52 Challenges of Transitioning from Military Life07:21 The Importance of Pre-Resilience Training13:04 The Role of Education in Strength and Conditioning21:48 Breath Control and Interoception34:02 Understanding Contextual Shifts in Health and Longevity34:39 Injury and Burnout in High-Performance Environments35:27 The Complex System of Human Stress Load36:48 Emotional and Mental Health in Elite Performers44:20 The Importance of Empathy and Emotional Regulation48:34 Meditation and Breath Work for Integrated Health55:18 Writing and Publishing Insights01:04:21 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What makes a thought or experience negative? And is it “bad” to have a negative thought or experience?Thom gives us food for thought in this episode, in response to a question from a guest at a recent retreat. Using his own unusual childhood as a case study, Thom explains the distinction between content and context, and the role consciousness and Vedic Meditation have in helping us negate the negative.Episode Highlights[00:45] Q - How Can My Thoughts Be Negative?[01:44] I'm a Strange Guy[03:38] Learning My ABCs[06:33] Nothing Negates the Forward Movement of Evolution[07:48] Going Back in Time[10:48] A Little Snapshot of Time Is Never Pretty[12:43] Consciousness Contextualizes Content[14:22] The Dangers of Irrelevancy[18:02] Recycling Stress[21:28] Let It Go and Move On[22:47] It's All OkayUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

(Your Nervous System Will Let You Know…)We explore:How stress, sleep, life chaos, and past experiences shape your real capacityWhy your body sometimes says “nope” before your mind catches upThe difference between discomfort and dangerHow yoga + movement help you meet yourself with honesty instead of reactivityWhy compassion, consistency, and micro-wins regulate your system better than intensity ever willThis episode is your permission slip to stop fighting your nervous system and start working with it. Less shame. More understanding. Huge energy savings.Because at the end of the day… people be peopling, nervous systems be nervous-system-ing, and movement is the bridge back to ourselves.Send us a textWanna be on the show?

We trace how a hidden lie—“I am not loved”—can take root even when life is full of love, and how God gently replaces it with truth. Through journaling, Scripture, breath, and a picture of a Father's heart, we move from head knowledge to heart knowledge.• naming I am statements that wound • pairing each lie with a clear biblical truth • using Scripture to anchor identity • breathing practices to embody truth • recognizing how focus distorts love • moving truth from mind to heart • Advent as a call to slow down • asking God for wisdom with expectancy“Let me end with this beautiful, simple children's song sung by my daughter Rachel: Yes, Jesus loves me...

Adam explores common myths surrounding yoga practice, particularly in Ashtanga. He discusses the significance of moon days, the myths of leg positioning, menstruation and inversions, and the misconception of step-by-step progression in yoga. Keen emphasizes the importance of personal experience over traditional beliefs and encourages practitioners to question the validity of these myths. He concludes by highlighting the dual nature of myths in motivating practice while also recognizing their potential to mislead.  Adam Shares ·      Moon days are not essential for practice. ·      Leg positioning in Ashtanga lacks scientific backing. ·      Menstruation does not prohibit inversions in yoga. ·      The Ashtanga sequence does not guarantee step-by-step body opening. ·      Primary series is not strictly therapeutic as claimed. ·      Vinyasa is not a sacred principle but can be useful. ·      Mula Bandha's relevance in modern yoga is questionable. ·      Yoga does not purify organs as often claimed. ·      Catching in micelle is not beneficial and can cause injury. ·      Practicing more than once a day can be beneficial if done sensibly.

In her early 20's, while studying history and comparative religion at Vassar College, she discovered meditation. She understood that there is a function, a formality and a fit to the universe and that yoga is a tool, a technique – a practice with repetition which gives us the opportunity to participate in life with intelligence and joy. Nevine started a daily practice in NYC with renowned yoga instructor Allan Bateman in the 1970s and became fully immersed in what would become her life's work. She began teaching yoga in 1978, and founded the Katonah Yoga Center in Katonah, New York in 1986. Nevine seamlessly relates her approach to yoga through comparing it to the likes of a musician. Her artful use of metaphor is one of her most well honed techniques when articulating her teachings, which are empowered by her practical approach to integrating the mind, the body and the breath. Nevine continues to teach both online and in person through her studio, the Katonah Yoga Collective in Bedford Hills NY and others throughout the community.

Would you like to know the signs to look for when you're starting to heal with Ayurveda?Transformation and healing can be subtle, steady, and accumulative. It's not necessarily fireworks and dramatic.In this episode, Myra Lewin shares how progress unfolds through small daily choices, and why the most profound shifts often happen quietly inside us. When we change how we eat, sleep, speak and relate to ourselves and others, it changes our lives.Listen to Myra talk about her own healing progression over the past 35+ years and her three decades of practice guiding clients toward the reversal of diseases and symptoms with Ayurveda.Topics covered:• Recognize subtle signs that healing is happening• Work with the four pillars of health (ahar, vihar, nidra, brahmacharya)• Understand sattva, rajas & tamas as forces shaping our choices and health• Meet setbacks with clarity instead of self-judgment• Stay consistent, patient, and willing to evolveThis episode reminds us that life isn't linear: we move forward in layers and seasons. With Ayurveda as the foundation, we learn to walk with awareness, choose sattva, and trust the quiet unfolding of transformation.Ready to dive deeper into the practices of Ayurveda and guide others to do the same to support their well-being and heal from difficult symptoms and diseases? If leading others on this path feels like your dharma, or calling, we invite you to apply now for a free 1:1 clarity call with a member of our team so we can discuss your goals and see if the training feels aligned.Thanks for tuning in to the Everyday Ayurveda and Yoga at Hale Pule podcast.

Episode summary Author and teacher Philip Goldberg returns to unpack his new book, Karmic Relief (Monkfish). We cut through pop-karma clichés and ask the hard questions: Why do bad actors prosper? What about innocent suffering? Does “what goes around” really come around—and when? Phil offers a clear, practice-ready model grounded in Yoga and Vedānta: karma as lawful cause-and-effect, refined by intention (saṅkalpa) and awareness (svādhyāya), and lived through skillful action (kriyā/karma-yoga). No sugar-coating—just a compassionate, accountable path forward.About our guest Philip Goldberg is the author of the classic American Veda and many other works on India's wisdom traditions. He writes, teaches, and speaks internationally about the practical application of yoga philosophy in modern life. More at philipgoldberg.com.What we coverTwo default frames that fail: cynical materialism (“life's unfair—deal with it”) and a punitive theism that outsources justice—why yoga offers a third way: karma as a law of nature, not a cosmic scorekeeper.Intention matters: why the motivation and quality of mind behind an action shape its consequences—on us and on the field around us.It's not linear: why “instant karma” is the exception; most effects are complex, delayed, and braided with other people's actions.Not just the “bad stuff”: noticing beneficial returns—friendship, support, opportunities—as karma, too.Humility as the doorway: we can't fathom every cause; we can act skillfully anyway.Prevention is practice: building a karmic “balance sheet” through ethical living, steady practice, and timely amends reduces the sting when old debts come due.Forgiveness begins at home: how self-forgiveness and sincere amends interrupt the “slow acid drip of regret.”Prayer, Bhakti & nervous system: prayer as practice for the prayer-giver (bhakti), shifting state and making right action more likely.Yama–Niyama as method, not morals: using the first two limbs practically to uproot harmful samskāras rather than memorize rules.Boundaries are dharma: over-giving and “doormat karma” as the near-enemy of compassion; why healthy limits are part of right action.Practical takeaways Choose skillful action now. You can't rewrite yesterday's causes; you can stack better conditions today.Mind the motive. Before you act, ask: What's my real intention? Adjust there.Make clean amends. Own your slice only, sincerely, and repair what you can. Then change the behavior.Practice = prevention. Daily āsana–prāṇāyāma–dhyāna clears the field (samskāra hygiene) so wise choices come faster.Measure by learning. Treat consequences as feedback, not verdicts. If the same pattern repeats, a lesson is waiting.Selected quotes“Karma is closer to physics than to theology—causes and conditions, not a personality keeping score.”“If you dismiss suffering as ‘their karma,' that response becomes your karma.”“Humility matters: we can't trace every cause, but we can choose wisely now.”“Boundaries are part of compassion—virtue misapplied becomes a near-enemy.”Resources & linksKarmic Relief by Philip Goldberg — Monkfish (now available).Philip Goldberg's site: philipgoldberg.comAlso by Phil: American Veda (context for how Eastern wisdom seeded the West).Related Yoga Therapy Hour episode: Our first conversation with Phil on American Veda (link in feed).Interested in advancing your own studies in Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda?Explore these graduate and certificate programs at Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH):Master of Science in Yoga Therapy https://muih.edu/academics/yoga-therapy/master-of-science-in-yoga-therapy/Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices (for licensed healthcare professionals) https://muih.edu/academics/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices/Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Ayurveda https://muih.edu/academics/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification/Plus, join us on our Optimal State Mobile App for daily check-ins and simple, easy interventions to help you stay in balance.And explore our Online Community, where you'll receive weekly classes and gain access to a library of classes you can enjoy anytime.

Jnana Yoga is the path of wisdom through which one contemplates the vastness of creation until the personal mind dissolves into the infinite. God is seen as conscious energy (Chit Shakti) manifesting the entire universe. Interestingly, scientists see the entire physical universe as emanating from an omnipresent quantum field. Despite this knowledge, we suffer. The cause of suffering is that our individual rays of consciousness are distracted by, and identify with, the objects they are aware of. This creates the ego, the false sense of “I”. with all its personal struggles. Through the practices of surrender, witness consciousness, and letting go, one's consciousness can rise again into divine union and eternal bliss. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A.

How do we weave more beauty, purpose, and belonging into our days? This question sits at the heart of this closing episode of this series. A gentle inquiry for anyone feeling the speed of modern life, the subtle ache of disconnection, or simply the desire to live more fully.  Through personal stories from India and home, grounded research on longevity and connection, and ancient Indian wisdom from Yoga and Ayurveda, she explores what truly sustains us, the simple human threads we've carried for thousands of years. Together we look at what actually helps us thrive: relationships as the strongest predictor of health and happiness the deep physical impact of isolation (Harvard + Holt-Lunstad's research) the shared traits of long-living communities across the world the way nature lowers stress and restores vitality how meditating together synchronises our physiology the role of purpose in extending life and the ancient languages of rhythm, breath, presence, and intention Amisha weaves these with teachings on Prana (life force), Dinacharya (daily rhythm), the five elements, and the deeper meaning of Dharma, offering ten simple, human principles for living a beautiful and connected life. This episode is a reminder.  A way of returning to what we already know. A soft invitation to belong again.  The show notes and details of all mentioned courses and events will appear here at www.allthatweare.org (make sure you are on the newsletter for all the updates!)

The Serpent's Tale: Kundalini, Yoga, and the History of an Experience (Columbia UP, 2025) traces the intricate global histories of Kuṇḍalinī, from its Sanskrit origins to its popularity in the West. Ranging from esoteric texts to global gurus, from the cliffs of California to the charnel grounds of Assam, they show that there has never been one single “authentic” model of Kuṇḍalinī but a multiplicity of visions. Bridging the gaps between textual and historical analysis and the complexities of embodied practice, Borkataky-Varma and Foxen reflect on the narration and transmission of experiences, including their own. Lively, accessible, and nuanced, The Serpent's Tale offers rich insights for scholars, practitioners, and all readers drawn to Kuṇḍalinī. Learn more about your ad choices.

What exactly is Kuṇḍalinī? It depends... What began as an energetic metaphor has morphed into a framework for transcending trauma, and much else besides. Does a snake-like entity really ascend? What sparks the experience? If it happens by chance, how should someone respond? There are few simple answers.Sravana Borkataky-Varma and Anya Foxen are co-authors of The Serpent's Tale, subtitled “Kuṇḍalinī, Yoga and the History of an Experience.” Both are scholars as well as practitioners – of Tantra (Sravana) and yoga (Anya) – and their research combines historical analysis with people's experiences.Together, we explore why it can be hard to differentiate the physical from the psychological and the spiritual. We also ask if there are limits to what Kuṇḍalinī stands for and reflect on the challenges involved in defining them. In the process, we consider why reports of Kuṇḍalinī awakenings are increasingly common.Although The Serpent's Tale is an academic book, it's an engaging guide to some fascinating characters – along with cultural overlaps between East and West that explain the evolution of Kuṇḍalinī narratives over the centuries. As we discuss, the most famous of these is the story of Gopi Krishna.

Join host Michael Taft as he talks with Sravana Borkataky-Varma and Anya Foxen about the wild history of Kundalini—from it's ancient Tantric roots to modern global yoga culture—including subtle-body maps, spontaneous awakenings, and so-called “Kundalini syndromes.” They explore how different traditions define the serpent power, when experiences become breakdowns or breakthroughs, the role of teachers and lineages, and why “energy” can't be reduced to either neuroscience or fantasy. Along the way they dive into siddhis, the imaginal realm, goddess-centered practice, and what actually changes in your life and psyche when this mysterious force wakes up.Sravana Borkataky-Varma specializes in Hindu traditions, in particular, she delves into topics such as esoteric rituals and bodily concepts, especially in relation to Hindu śākta tantra traditions, often referred to as goddess tantra. She adopts a research methodology that blends social anthropology—examined from an outside perspective—with elements of reflexive autoethnography that reflect her personal experiences. As an educator, she holds the position of Instructional Assistant Professor at the University of Houston. She has formerly taught at Harvard Divinity School, Rice University, to name a few. Sravana is committed to building communities that bring together individuals from various religious backgrounds who aspire to lead lives marked by kindness and compassion. The Serpent's Tale: Kuṇḍalinī, Yoga, and the History of an Experience, Embodied Pedagogies in the Study of Religion: Transforming the Classroom, are two of her recent books, among many other books and articles. More information about Sravana can be found on her website, https://sravanaspeaks.com/Anya Foxen is a historian and comparativist scholar of religion. She is currently an Associate Professor of Religious Studies at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, as well as a Research Associate at the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard University. Her scholarly research focuses on the intersection of South Asian yogic and tantric traditions with Western esotericism and metaphysical spiritualities. She is the author of four books, including Inhaling Spirit: Harmonialism, Orientalism, and the Western Roots of Modern Yoga, and, most recently, The Serpent's Tale: Kuṇḍalinī, Yoga, and the History of an Experience. She is also a teacher and long-time practitioner of yoga.
