Productivity is often seen as the holy grail of business success. Though organizations obsess over productivity gains, often they miss the fact that these gains come with a hidden cost.In this episode, Thom explores why healthy mission, creativity, and inner stillness are not distractions from productivity, but its deepest source.When work feels meaningful, participation becomes voluntary, effort becomes effortless, and productivity takes care of itself.Episode Highlights00:45 Productivity is an Illusion04:01 Making Participation Attractive06:23 Great Output Comes from Healthy Process10:17 The Four Aspects of Organizational Mission14:15 Make Everybody a Believer of the Mission18:48 The Role of Vedic Meditation in Organizational Productivity23:02 Q: Are Corporate Missions Manipulative?23:23 A: Use Your Discrimination Capability25:07 Q: How do we reconcile ease with being productive?25:23 A: Frictionless Flow Feels Effortless26:03 Q: Can we trade off being productive for stillness?26:46 A: Get corporate support or choose personal control31:26 Q: How can we remove the pressure to feel productive in life?32:01 A: I Get To...You can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/plvJKA1k_zkUseful 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/

Bhagavad Gita Ch. 14 “Yoga of the Three Modes of Material Nature” Verses 7,8 & 9 The lecture discusses why we do not experience our true nature, Sat-Chit-Ananda, due to the bondage created by the Qualities of Satva, Rajas, and Tamas, and how they bind the infinite self to the limited body, mind, and intellect, thereby creating Jiva, the individual self.

In 2007, Vicki's husband Andrew set off from Tasmania in a kayak, aiming to become the first person to paddle to New Zealand, but a month later authorities received a distress call and then his kayak was found with no sign of Andrew.Vicki and their little son Finn, were waiting with friends and family for Andrew at Milford Sound when the devastating news came through.This episode of Conversations was produced by Jen Leake, the Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores love, mountaineering, sea kayaking, solo sea kayaking, extreme adventure, psychology, adventurer, the Tasman Sea, gale force storms, ocean currents, waves, swells, Fortescue Bay, rescue, kayak design, hypothermia, family, grief, yoga, writing.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts. There you'll find hundreds of the best thought-provoking interviews with authors, writers, artists, politicians, psychologists, musicians, and celebrities.

This week we welcome Margo Lightburn back to the pod after two years away, and a lot has changed.Since we last spoke, Margo has retired from teaching yoga and opens up about her complicated, sometimes bitter goodbye to the industry and everything that followed. We talk candidly about grief, including the loss of her mother, undergoing a hysterectomy, and the deeply personal healing journey that ultimately led her to begin writing a book.We reflect on a time when yoga felt like the end-all, be-all, the constant push for flexibility, the pressure to do more, and how overdoing it quietly led to injury. We talk about teaching from an unhealed place, tending to childhood wounds, and what happens when ambition outpaces care.As always, the conversation wanders through tangents, hilarious moments, and big questions. We glaze on finding community, the state of the world right now, hot yoga, pelvic floor health, abuse in the industry, and the many ways to go deeper in your healing. We also hear about Margo's new episodic podcast series coming soon and what leaving the yoga industry helped her reclaim and conquer.This episode feels less like an interview and more like old friends catching up, losing track of time, telling the truth, and letting the conversation unfold where it wants to go.It's honest, funny, messy, and deeply human.Settle in and enjoy the listen!Find Margo Lightburn Online:Web: https://margolightburn.com/IG: @margolightburnWant to support our podcast?

We are not here to pretend this is fine. We are here to help you get steady enough to choose how we respond. When fear narrows your thinking, you can come back to the body first.  Regulate first. Respond second. In this conversation, Ni-Cheng and I name the collective fear, grief, exhaustion, moral distress, minority stress, and racial trauma. These are real, lived experiences that shape safety in our bodies. When we are activated, our wise brain is harder to access. That is when we send the text, make the decision, or take the action from urgency instead of intention. This episode offers practical micro-tools that work in real life. The breath, a longer exhale, box breathing, 4-7-8,  orienting to safety by feeling the ground under our feet, and hand to heart are ways to physiologically downshift. Yoga is too. Read more about this topic in Jessie Mahoney's blog:  What would love do when the world feels usnsteady. https://www.jessiemahoneymd.com/jessies-blog/what-would-love-do-when-the-world-feels-unsteady PEARLS OF WISDOM • A dysregulated nervous system makes urgency feel like truth. Regulation gives us back clarity, choice, and values-based action. • Fight, flight, freeze, and fawn are adaptive responses. We can name our defaults without judging, then choose the next step. • Moral distress, grief, anger, numbness, and exhaustion are normal human responses to instability. Nothing is wrong with you. • Trauma and minority stress live in the body. When safety feels threatened, hypervigilance and shutdown make sense. • We do not have to do everything. We choose a lane of helping that matches our capacity and sustains us over time. Reflection Questions: When you feel activated, what is your default—urgency, over-functioning, numbness, shutdown, or fawn? What helps you return to the green zone —long exhale, feet on the ground, hand to heart, movement, nature? Which lane of helping feels like desire and alignment, and which lane feels like guilt or over-responsibility? If your future self looks back five years from now, what do you hope you feel proud of in how you showed up? If we want to practice these tools in community, especially in nature, explore our offerings here: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking The Healing Medicine Podcast was formerly known as the Mindful Healers Podcast Nothing shared in the Healing Medicine Podcast is medical advice.

Here's a FREE PREVIEW of our latest Check-In Episode, aka "Shut Up Sasha and Joe." To hear more, head to https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItPodcastCheck-In Episode # 31: Mental health episode. Yoga next to Colin Farrell. Jacuzzi training conference.

Episode summary Computer-science-turned-cognitive-science researcher and yoga therapist Chen Or Bach joins Amy to share a candid journey from academia to cancer survivorship, from mat-based practice to living yoga moment-to-moment. We trace how the pañca-kośa model reframed her healing, why standards and accreditation helped yoga integrate into Israeli healthcare, and what it means to let go of familiar tools and still remain fully in the path. It's a forward-looking conversation about bringing steadiness (sthira) and sweetness (sukha) into real life—mountain trails, laundry folding, and all.Listen forNature as practice: Boulder's mountains as living teachers of stability in change.Pañca-kośa in plain life: tending annamaya, prāṇamaya, manomaya, vijñānamaya, and especially ānandamaya—not as theory but daily design.When the practice stops “working”: giving yourself permission to let go of certain tools (āsana, set routines) and allow yoga to become how you meet each moment.Healthcare integration: how Israel's modular 1,000-hour training (500 teacher + 500 therapy with specialty tracks) supported hospital uptake.Karma yoga without burnout: serving the field while protecting one's vitality (tapas with svādhyāya and īśvara-praṇidhāna—Kriyā Yoga in action).Key takeawaysĀnanda is not optional. Many of us optimize the outer layers (food, steps) and starve ānandamaya kośa. Intentionally design joy-creating activities; the outer layers flourish downstream.Your practice can change shape. If a tool stops serving, it's not failure—it's viveka (discernment). Let the aim (clarity, compassion, steadiness) stay constant while methods evolve.Standards serve people. Thoughtful accreditation isn't bureaucracy—it's ahimsā and satya for clients and health systems: clear scope, reliable skills, safer care.Karma yoga needs boundaries. Service without self-regulation fuels burnout. Pair tapas with rest, supervision, and community—abhyāsa with vairāgya.Practical micro-practices (try today)Joy audit (5 min): List three ordinary tasks. For each, name one sensory element you can savor (temperature of water while washing dishes, sound of leaves on a walk).Kośa check-in (2 min): Ask: What does my body/energy/mind/wisdom/joy need right now? Choose one small step.Walk as yoga (10–20 min): No metrics. Attend to breath cadence, ground contact, and horizon/sky—let attention, breath, and body cohere.Resources mentionedPātañjala Yoga Sūtra (as study companion during illness)Bhagavadgītā (as a source of resilience and meaning)IAYT-inspired standards and Israel's modular specialty pathways (trauma, oncology, etc.)About our guest — Chen Or Bach Chen Or Bach blends cognitive/neuroscience training with decades of yoga practice and service. In Israel, she helped advance standards that enabled yoga and yoga therapy to integrate into mainstream healthcare, including rehabilitation settings (e.g., TBI). Now based in Boulder, she continues to teach, mentor, and model a life where all life is yoga.Pull quotes“Once your attention, breath, and body are in the same place, the game changes.”“If one tool stops serving you, the tradition still has a thousand doors.”“I stopped ‘doing' yoga and started being it—moment by moment.”“Standards aren't red tape; they're how we protect people.”School of Integrative Health at NDMU: https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-healthMaster of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy  Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals.  https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU: https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification#IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool

We pile so much on ourselves throughout our life and run so many filters at every moment of the day that it is very easy to lose sight of the truth, our true selves. This meditation is a variation on the Flow Writing ecersize, where you sit down to write, uninterrupted for a set time. The pen doesn't stop moving, no matter what. The variation is that we will do this as a pure though exersize. Using the prompt "what are you pretending not to know?" and just see where your mind takes you. One breath at a time.

When boundaries feel hard, it's often not because you don't understand them — it's because resistance shows up quietly. For many dentists, that resistance looks like overgiving, pushing through fatigue, or second-guessing yourself long after the day is done.In this short guided meditation, I'll help you:Notice resistance with compassionTune into your body instead of pushing past itExperience boundaries as clarity, not conflictThis practice isn't about fixing yourself or forcing change.It's about listening — honestly and without judgment.You're in control of your experience.

What does it mean to heal when the nervous system no longer feels safe in the body or the world? In this episode, Colette is joined by Sita Severson, Director of the Soul of Yoga Institute in San Diego, Ayurvedic Practitioner, Certified Yoga Therapist, and Vedic counselor. Sita's work lives at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern trauma science, supporting people through grief, addiction recovery, burnout, and chronic stress with compassion and practicality. Drawing from her own lived experience as well as decades of teaching and clinical work, Sita shares how Ayurveda, yoga, and pranayama can gently support regulation without overwhelming the system and why healing is not about fixing what's broken, but restoring relationship with the body and self. This conversation is especially meaningful for anyone navigating grief, recovery, exhaustion, or a sense of disconnection, and for practitioners interested in trauma-sensitive, embodied approaches to wellbeing. In this episode, you'll hear: How Sita's personal healing journey informs the way she teaches and works with trauma today What it means to rebuild trust in the body when the nervous system has learned that the world isn't safe How chronic stress, grief, and burnout show up in the body's physiology The role of Ayurveda, yoga, and pranayama in gently supporting nervous system regulation What truly defines a trauma-informed yoga practice Why Ayurveda and yoga emphasize gradual, participatory healing rather than quick fixes How healing can open the door to self-actualization, not just symptom relief A simple reflection and practice listeners can explore in their own time Visit the Soul of Yoga website here.

These are the same micro-practices that have transformed my relationship with myself and my energy over time. Here are the truths I keep learning again and again:

Summary In this conversation, Gary Roberts and Ash discuss the profound impact of yoga and alternative healing methods on mental health, particularly for first responders. Ash shares insights on yoga nidra, a deep relaxation practice, and its benefits for stress management and healing. They explore the importance of preparation in healing journeys, the stress response in high-pressure professions, and the spiritual aspects of yoga. Practical advice is given for first responders to incorporate grounding practices into their lives, along with addressing common misconceptions about yoga and meditation.   Takeaways Yoga is often misunderstood as just physical exercise. Yoga nidra is a powerful tool for relaxation and healing. Preparation is crucial for effective healing experiences. The stress response can be detrimental to mental health. Yoga offers a holistic approach to well-being. First responders need grounding practices to manage stress. The yogic path includes ethical and spiritual dimensions. Finding personal peace is essential for healing. Breath work can prepare individuals for deeper experiences. Misconceptions about yoga can hinder its benefits.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background of the Guest 03:53 Yoga as a Healing Modality 08:14 The Role of Yoga Nidra in Mental Health 11:57 Integrating Yoga with Psychedelic Therapy 16:03 The Importance of Preparation in Healing 20:03 Understanding Stress Responses in First Responders 23:48 The Path of Yoga and Self-Discovery 30:03 Practical Steps for Grounding and Relaxation 34:01 Misconceptions About Yoga and Meditation 37:55 Finding Your Personal Path in Healing 43:05 Conclusion and Resources for Further Exploration   How to Get Involved: Gary Roberts is the founder and CEO of Neurovus an AI driven mental health app that learns through personal conversation and your waerables, a company based not only on creating and selling a mobile app but one on a mission to change the landscape of how mental health and addiction are treated.

A great strong cleansing kind of practice tonight. Lots of leg strength and twists with a deep hip finish. 

Practicing peace is an intentional choice. It is not something we wait for once circumstances improve. It is something we practice in our breath, our bodies, and our awareness, even while uncertainty and grief remain present. This conversation offers a reminder that peace begins with you. Peace is not denial or bypassing.  It is the practice of staying present with what is real while remaining regulated.   PEARLS OF WISDOM Peace begins with you. When the world feels overwhelming, we often notice it first in our bodies. Uncertainty often prompts us to feel urgency, vigilance, and reactivity. Nervous system regulation is a skill for sustainable medicine and a sustainable life. Small, consistent embodied practices can interrupt spinning and reactivity. Peace practiced internally ripples outward into our families, workplaces, and communities. Reflection Questions: What does your body need in order to feel even a little more settled today? What is within your control right now, even if it is very small? If peace doesn't resonate, which word feels most supportive in this season: peace, kindness, love, connection, or something else? Many of the practices shared in this episode are ones we return to again and again in coaching, yoga, and retreats because they work. Whether it is the "Peace Begins With Me" finger-tapping mantra, grounding through the feet, restorative yoga, sound healing, or mindful time in nature, these tools support us in staying connected to ourselves when the world feels heavy. Community also offers peace.  Group coaching and retreats offer a chance to practice these tools in community.  Coaching provides space to explore how to integrate peace, agency, and presence into daily life and clinical work.  Yoga and mindfulness practices offer a direct, embodied pathway to nervous system regulation. Retreats weave all of this AND nature into one. They allow space to slow down, reconnect, and remember what it feels like to be held and supported.

Lets understand what healthy boundaries truly mean, not as rigid walls of protection, but as living, conscious guidelines rooted in self-knowledge. This conversation looks at why boundaries keep shifting, how attachment and detachment coexist, and when boundaries turn self-destructive. We discuss how the body communicates its limits through signals like fatigue, digestion issues, skin breakouts, and even chronic disease and why ignoring these signals comes at a cost. This episode is for anyone who feels “bad at boundaries” and is ready to replace control with clarity, fear with awareness, and resistance with conscious choice.Episode Highlights :Healthy boundaries are not walls or emotional prisonsHow self-knowledge determines the quality of your boundariesRecognizing self-destructive boundaries How your body “keeps the score” Baby Steps for Healthy Boundaries Episode Timestamps: 00:00 - 05:00: What are Healthy Boundaries? 05:00 - 11:00 How do you know your boundaries are healthy? 11:00 - 19:30: Love-Hate Relationships 19:30 - 35:00: Know Body to know your Boundaries 35:00 - 42:30: How to address pent up feelings42:30 - 46:00: Self-love in the purest form Guest Profile: Ananta Ripa Ajmera is a spiritual teacher and 10-time award-winning, 2-time bestselling author of The Way of the Goddess and The Ayurveda Way.

I'm here with my dear friend Dori Fusaro to recount the rise of Yoga South (formerly Yoga of Matthews), the studio takeover, and how a small yoga space grew into a tight-knit community. They reflect on memorable teachers, transformative classes, and the personal bonds formed through practice. The episode highlights studio life in Charlotte during the early 2000's - teacher trainings, eclectic classes, and the challenges of running a studio—while celebrating friendship, resilience, and the lasting impact of yoga on their lives.

I'm excited to sit  down with former student Allie to reminisce about Yoga South in Charlotte — a studio defined by 90-minute classes, chanting, community rituals, and teachers who prioritized connection and healing over fitness trends. We discuss how the studio's slow, intentional approach shaped lifelong practices, the role of assists and music, and why fostering welcoming, non‑competitive spaces matters for students and studio owners today. I loved every moment of catching up with Allie - I hope you will enjoy this episode!

In this episode I reunite with longtime student and teacher Cindy Brewer-Purser to reminisce about Yoga South and the wider Charlotte yoga scene. They explore studio life in the 2000s, the shift from hot/Bikram and Kundalini styles to gentler, community-focused classes, memorable teachers and workshops, and how those experiences shaped their personal and teaching journeys. Through laughter and candid stories—about teacher training, memorable classes, influential guests like Chandra Om, and community charity events—Cindy shares how Yoga South helped her reconnect with herself, find confidence as a teacher, and build a local wellness presence.   Give Cindy a follow on social media & check her out @cindybrewerpurser & @albermarlepilatesyoga

Manas, the thinking and analytical mind, plays a crucial role in perception, cognition, and decision-making. It processes sensory input and helps interpret both internal and external experiences, such as hunger, pain, or movement. In Yoga, the practice serves as an inquiry into the nature of the mind, consciousness, and human experience. The quality of Manas, likened to a computer screen, depends on how many mental "files" are open, influenced by memory (samskaras) and habits (vasanas). Restlessness arises from fluctuating thoughts (vrittis), creating challenges in stillness. Manas influences perception, cognition and decision-making, guiding actions like setting intentions, focusing, coordinating breath, maintaining mind-body connection, and regulating emotions during yoga practice. It helps you stay present, aware of bodily sensations, and balanced in each pose, ultimately fostering a mindful, intentional practice.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

It's back to school! DYRK is dedicating a special week to sport. Because moving and doing regular physical activity is important for our physical and mental health! Listen again to our episodes about sport! In the last 12 months, we've all spent more time at home than we expected. As a result, our use of computers or smartphones has increased to the point where many of us spend almost all day gazing into a screen. This can lead to eye strain and dry eyes, as well as other disorders or diseases. OK, so in this day and age it's difficult to totally go without all these digital tools which are part of our daily lives. But there are some tips to prevent or slow vision loss. Eye yoga allows us to train our eye muscles. It's a natural method which comes from Indian medicine. We often forget to exercise our eyes, which function thanks to muscles. And muscles need to be trained! This sounds like it must be the latest fad! Is it actually effective? What are the exercises to stimulate eyes? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠ To listen to the latest episodes, click here: ⁠What is tagskryt, the Scandinavian sustainable travel trend?⁠ ⁠Is it time the UK acknowledged its role in the slave trade?⁠ ⁠Why do we sneeze?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance First Broadcast: 27/9/2022 Learn more about your ad choices.

Send Jackie A Message!If you're trying to grow your studio and keep hitting invisible walls—this episode explains why. Jackie Murphy breaks down the real thing that creates results in your business (and it's not an Instagram strategy or another tactic). It's your thinking.In this Yoga Boss Vault episode, Jackie teaches the difference between the primitive brain (the part of you that's wired for safety, efficiency, and avoiding risk) and the prefrontal cortex (the part of you that thinks like a CEO—strategic, logical, and action-oriented). You'll learn how fear-based thoughts quietly run your decisions, why your brain acts like an “over-sensitive smoke alarm,” and the six common fears that show up for business owners—especially when marketing, selling, or investing.Most importantly, Jackie shows you how to build the skill of expecting yourself to win—without delusional “positive thinking.” If you want sustainable growth, you have to learn to lead your mind first.Timestamped Outline (approx)[00:00] Why mindset creates results (not tactics)[03:00] Primitive brain vs prefrontal cortex[06:30] The “over-sensitive smoke alarm” analogy[09:00] Six fears that derail your business[18:30] Expectation as a CEO superpower[22:00] “I can't” → “How can I?”[24:30] Why growth includes dips (roots + physics analogy)[28:00] Weekly practice: where are your thoughts coming from?Key Takeaways Your thoughts shape your decisions, actions, and resultsThe primitive brain is wired for safety—not business growthFear thoughts are often false alarms, not real problemsCEO thinking comes from expectation + problem-solvingGrowth includes dips—and dips can accelerate your progress“How can I?” is a leadership skill you practice into identityFAQ:What part of the brain creates fear when I market or sell my studio?

If it's rooted in fear (rejection, disappointment, being wrong, being seen), it's likely a false alarm—not a real business problem.What is the prefrontal cortex and why does it matter for business owners? It's the part of your brain responsible for planning, problem-solving, and long-term thinking—the exact skills required to lead as a CEO.Why do I freeze or procrastinate when I try to post or sell? Because your nervous system is scanning for safety. When your primitive brain thinks visibility is risky, it tries to stop you through avoidance.How do I shift from fear-based thinking to CEO thinking? Practice noticing where the thought comes from, then intentionally move into questions like: “How can I?” and “What's the next best step?”Is expecting yourself to win just toxic positivity? No. Jackie teaches expectation paired with action and realistic management of dips. It's not “wishful thinking”—it's leadership thinking.Why does business growth feel up and down? Because growth is nonlinear. Dips are part of the process—and often thWork with Jackie Murphy Say Hi on Instagram @studioceoofficial 3 Marketing Mistakes Yoga & Pilates Business Owners Make: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/3-marketing-mistakes Join The Studio CEO Program: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/studioceo

Anxiety spiking? Try this instead. If you've ever felt "off" and couldn't quite find your way back—this episode is for you. I'm joined by my friend Jenny King (acupuncturist + certified aromatherapist) for a deeply grounding, practical conversation on using essential oils as part of your real-life support toolkit—especially when you're dealing with stress, overwhelm, perimenopause shifts, migraines, or that frazzled "10,000 things" feeling. This is not about any specific brand, and we're not selling you anything. It's education, nervous system support, and a gentle way home. We start with a simple guided moment (yes, you can do it even if you don't have oils), then walk through how to pair oils with acupressure points—like a "lock and key" for your energy and your body. Heads up: This episode is a little different than usual. If you can, listen when you're not driving—you may want a pen and paper.

Scott Cowx is a Canadian Golf Instructor and one of the brightest minds in golf. Vastly researched and experienced, he teaches Golf Pro's, Amateurs and Teachers alike. His insights and knowledge of golf-swing technique is second to none and he joins #OntheMark to help you to a more thorough understanding on what it takes to make a consistent, reliable swing. In his deep dive into various elements of the swing he elaborates on four things he sees all great ball-strikers do: Dynamic Balance The Transition of the Club from Waist-high to Waist-High (P3-P5) Joint Ranges of Motion and Smoothness of movement, and The Golf-club's Center of Mass Location throughout the Swing. In his swing technique exposé, Scott explains a number of concepts such as The "4 Laws of Clubhead Speed," the "Theory of Repeatable Error," Golf-swing Changes and Building Sensitivity, Linear and Angular Forces in the Swing, and Physical Training, Yoga, and Pilates for Better Performances. Scott also illustrates how players like Ernie Els, Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, Jamie Sadlowski and Greg Norman applied for 4 elements he described in their golf-swings.

Delayed gratification is often touted as one of the secrets to a fulfilling life. The famous marshmallow experiment concluded that children who were able to delay the reward of a marshmallow for a larger reward of more marshmallows had better outcomes later in life.But is this really the case? Are we actually better off favoring long-term good over short-term pleasure?In this episode, Thom explains that this is more than just a philosophical question, it's actually a question that has implications for evolution of the species.And the answer might surprise you…Episode Highlights00:45 It's All About Knowledge03:26 Evolution is Not a Straight Line07:41 We Have to Have a Blend12:07 There's No Such Thing as Perfection in the Relative World14:19 Disruption Causes Adaptation to Occur17:46 Q: What can you tell us about freeze reactivity?17:58 A: Catatonia is the Extreme20:38 Practice Vedic Meditation to Remove Irrelevant NeurochemistryYou can also watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/B3a7BvY50TwUseful 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/
