Staying present is key; mindfulness helps me do that. Many people avoid emotions, but staying present lets me truly feel and understand them. Mindfulness reveals nuances; what seemed like one emotion may be another. By leaning into emotions, I gain deeper self-awareness and empathy for others. It's about feeling and understanding, which mindfulness facilitates beautifully. Thoughts On Breathing Breathing is a powerful tool—it triggers the sympathetic nervous system, helping us calm down, a technique I often employ as a yoga instructor. Lengthening the exhale is key; it shifts us into the calming parasympathetic system naturally. Breath work offers versatile solutions; a few deep breaths anywhere can work wonders unnoticed. In tense situations, like confronting a bullying boss, breathing can center and calm us, improving our ability to handle adversity. True peace isn't about a peaceful environment but finding calm within chaos. Even amidst turmoil, maintaining inner peace is possible through centeredness and groundedness, a skill accessible to all through mindful breathing techniques. Bullying Story Growing up, I faced bullying from adults because of my intuitive nature. They accused me of plagiarism when I used my intuition to complete homework. Despite doing my best, I was always in trouble at school. Over time, I realized that bullies were often in pain and disconnected from their true selves. Mindfulness taught me to respond with compassion and transparency, guided by intuition. Remembering our divine essence makes it harder to be bullied or to bully others. Though it's not easy to turn the other cheek, mindfulness helps me refrain from reacting impulsively, denying bullies the reaction they seek. It's about understanding my emotions and responses, even in the face of adversity.

I don't have to let them hook me. I don't have to let them pull me into the mire. If I just watch them, they will pass. I don't allow them to take me under. They'll move. And that ability allows me to stay in that steady position of peace that's essential to the intuitive process. This skill helps me teach people how to be a visionary superpower. Thoughts On Breathing Breathing holds importance. We must actively engage in breathing. As a swimmer during my formative years, the ability to breathe was essential. Breathing in swimming is characterized by order and regulation. It's deep and deliberate. I observe that when I'm mindful, my breathing follows a harmonic, coherent, and ordered pattern. Conversely, when I'm not mindful, I cease to breathe consciously. Thus, I often find that to enhance my intuition, I must regulate my breathing. It resembles the rhythmic pattern of swimming: inhale, exhale. I visualize myself swimming, which aligns me with an ordered coherence, granting access to intuition. Bullying Story Growing up, I faced bullying from adults because of my intuitive nature. They accused me of plagiarism when I used my intuition to complete homework. Despite doing my best, I was always in trouble at school. Over time, I realized that bullies were often in pain and disconnected from their true selves.

Through careful observation of what resonates most, I've developed niche shows that cater to distinct groups. One standout is “Meditation for Moms,” a collection designed to support mothers through the unique challenges they face. I've also honed in on another vital area with “Panic Attack Meditations.” Recognizing the demand for guidance during moments of intense anxiety, I created a dedicated space for these meditations. It's incredibly rewarding to hear from listeners who found solace and support precisely when they needed it most. These niche themes allow me to make a meaningful impact and connect with individuals on a deeply personal level. What's Next? As our established network celebrates its sixth year and 140 million downloads, I'm driven to expand our impact further. With gratitude for our 4 million monthly downloads, I'm committed to reaching even more women. Marketing efforts continue to broaden our listenership, ensuring accessibility to our content. I'm also deeply invested in a significant project: creating monthly physical journals. These journals will feature themed prompts and complement meditations and poetry, facilitating self-reflection and growth. Meditation and journaling are equally powerful tools for self-awareness, and I'm excited to offer this resource to our audience. By empowering women to delve into self-inquiry, I aim to support them in crafting lives aligned with their true desires. Words of Advice My advice centers on mindfulness and self-awareness. When we truly listen to ourselves and honor our needs, the noise of expectations and opinions fades away. Embracing courageous action aligned with our true desires leads to fulfillment. Prioritizing mindfulness allows everything to fall into place. I'm grateful for the opportunity to share this wisdom, knowing it resonates with our shared passion for helping others become more mindful.     Related Episodes Use Meditation to Master Yourself; Ashley Williams Peace and Calm Meditation Your Life IS Meditation; Mark Van Buren Offer From Bruce Seeking relief from stress and anxiety?

Life is 10% about what happens and 90% about how you respond. Once you become aware of how you're feeling, you can control how you respond. Thoughts On Breathing Some of my favorite meditations are breathwork meditations. I feel like it's very calming and relaxing to do this breathwork. It centers you and brings you back to the present moment. It's really a gift. It makes me feel so grateful for this breath. I'm grateful for every single breath that I get to experience. Bullying Story In reference to bullying, kids can be very harsh and cut-throat. I was bullied quite a bit as a kid. I think more education and awareness around the fact that we all struggle with feelings of worthiness is necessary. A lot of times, bullying comes from the simple fact that we can tear someone else down to feel better about ourselves.

That includes thoughts and emotions. This is the raging fire of love thing. I think we need to cultivate love for people who are different from us. That means moving our emotions in a favorable way towards people who are different. And it means giving up our fear and learning to overcome our fear with love. Thoughts On Breathing I do not have any thoughts to share on breathing. I am too ADD. I have tried it. I know it's good for me, and I do it for a while, but then I'm off into something else. Bullying Story One of my first good friends in the Islamic community is a well-known philosopher who is on television a lot. In Turkey, religion gets on television a lot. It's involved in a lot of conversations that they have. Sometimes it's just religion, or sometimes it's on other topics, and they want a religious perspective on it. He has become a major media figure and has millions of followers. I thought it was opportune for me to become acquainted with him as I was trying to build bridges between Muslims, Christians, and Jews. Then I went to a conference one time. I flew a long way to get there to give a talk. He didn't come to my talk. He had given a talk the previous day and got mad at some people. He came at the end, and he gave a speech at the end that had nothing to do with my talk. He just denounced all the people he was mad at from the day before. I turned to my best Muslim friend there and asked what he was doing. He said he was getting back at people from the day before then. I just looked around, and there were hundreds of people there. I was probably the only non-Muslim, the only non-Turk. There were hundreds of people there. I could see people rolling their eyes. I talked to a few more people, and I just figured out, because there were other clues, that he was a bully.

When I sit down and I meditate or pray, I am struggling for the most part. When I take the time to sit down, close my eyes and pray, that's where I feel my stress alleviated and I can start getting everything under control. Thoughts On Breathing Getting into the cold shower is still uncomfortable, but I'm a little bit more used to it now. When I first got in, with the cold in the dead of winter here in Utah, the water was really cold. It was long, deep breaths, very frantic at the beginning. I recognized that I was getting better. Those frantic breaths gradually became a little bit slower, slower, slower. Bullying Story I was blessed growing up. I got along with pretty much everyone as a kid, didn't matter your race, your religion, or your orientation. I can get along with pretty much anyone. I do want to share a story with someone I call my brother these days. His name is Dawson. We went to middle school together. I met him in my 6th-grade year. Dawson was a weird kid. His dad was a lot older than the rest of our parents. Dawson grew up just like his dad. He grew up fishing and going boating, doing outdoorsy activities. I like all those things, but he took them to an extreme. That's all he could talk about. He would run around during recess and act like he was driving a boat. Dawson was an interesting guy. Dawson was the odd one out. He sometimes felt like he didn't have anyone to turn to. At the time, in Middle School, you do not want to be best friends with the guy everyone thinks is weird. I was always nice to him. But I was never, like Dawson eat lunch with us or hang out with us. Then one day I saw Dawson and his dad sitting right behind me at my church. Today he's one of my best friends. He lives in Idaho now, but I talk to him every single week.     Suggested Resources Book: Living With A Seal by Jesse Itzler Book: All the David Goggins books Podcast: Get Over Yourself App: Sanvello App Related Episodes Build Your Relationships; Jonathan Pritchard Mindful Money Abundance with Morgana Rae Mindfulness Insight From Successful Entrepreneur, Johnathan Grzybowski Seeking relief from stress and anxiety?

I was then able to work through them and not run away. One of the hardest emotions to feel is shame. I've carried my own shame and it's by being able to descend mindfully with presence into the dark that we are able to discover our sacred spark. Mindfulness is really the ability to go In and be open and be curious to these negative emotions. Thoughts On Breathing Breathing is one of the important things that help us connect to our life force. We feel our life force in two physiological ways. One is breath, and the other one is the heartbeat. If you look at many meditative practices, it's following the breath. It's calming and centering. There is an underlying principle: what is spirit? The word spirit in Latin comes from the root, the animating breath of Life. Bullying Story Regarding bullying, there are both sides. There is the bully, and then there is the victim of the bully. The bully is probably bullying because they don't know how to be skillful in order to get what they need. They also have a sense of shame or weakness underneath them that they are trying to cover. If they were more mindful, knew what was really motivating them, and addressed this inherent weakness that they're trying to cover up by being overly aggressive, then that would prevent them from bullying.

We all have ebbs and flows. I definitely have my highs and lows still. I think mindfulness has made me more aware of when I'm having a low or when I'm having overwhelming thoughts or even depression. My mindfulness practice has helped me recognize that and get me into a better mindset more quickly instead of dwelling on it for days and weeks. Thoughts On Breathing I really enjoy box breathing. I almost modified it to be more of a triangle breathing. The idea is that I will breathe in for a count of 4, hold it for a count of 4, and exhale for a count of 4. Just doing that for a repetition of 20 times can be a form of meditation. Bullying Story Bullying is a huge problem in schools, and it always has been, probably even back when I was a kid. I think mindfulness can help with bullying. I can't speak out of experience, but I think it can help with emotional regulation. If you get bullied, you may have a fight-or-flight reactive response. However, how you react could make the situation better or worse through emotional regulation. With mindfulness you also are a little bit more self-regulated. You're more aware of your surroundings and aware of your situations. This situational awareness can keep you out of situations where you could get bullied.

Bullying Story I was called Natalie Bedard, retard. So you can imagine how that shaped my identity. I'm biracial, also. I grew up in the northern part of Ontario, in Sudbury. So, going to school, my father wasn't around. I was not able to identify with my black side. Going into a school system and having trauma, my self-worth wasn't there. At school, they couldn't understand why my IQ was so high, but my grades and tests were not. I looked at my biology, and I internalized it. But not so much that it limited me from moving forward. It was almost as though I had some mindfulness. I was still really attached to my. curiosity and intuition. Suggested Resources Book: The Untethered Soul by Michael A.
