One of our most profound capacities as humans is the ability to re-story our lives. In this final episode of the storytelling series, we explore the movement from shame to compassion/self-compassion. This is primarily a somatic or embodied process, allowing our bodies to release the stored vital energy that may have become stuck in our system, with groaning, yelling, and whatever else creates emotional flow. With practice, we can release our bodies into new stories, for our sake and for the sake of the world around us.

A NtR Short: The 100 Glimmer Challenge 8:14

hace 16 días8:14

8:14

Transformation ultimately has less to do with thinking our way into change than living into it in bodies that have been trained to feel and be fully present. In this episode, we explore a way to create a strong foundation for ongoing transformation by not only recognizing glimmers—moments that slow your body down into an experience of calm and beauty—but challenging yourself to experience more glimmers than you might have thought possible. As you expand your awareness about just how much calm and beauty you can experience, you create the possibility of full embodiment and of living in radical abundance.…

A Psychologist, a Saint, and a Sufi Walk Into Oneness: Jung, Julian, and Rumi on Vibrant Spirituality (A Third Conversation with John Phillip Newell) 1:17:38

hace 23 días1:17:38

1:17:38

In this third conversation with John Phillip Newell, author of The Great Search and numerous books on spirituality, we explore what we talk about when we talk about “oneness.” Oneness, as Carl Jung, Julian of Norwich, and Jalaluddin Rumi help us discover, is an archetypal way of experiencing reality. In simple, pragmatic ways, we can grow our awareness of oneness—of our interconnectedness with all things—which unlocks our spiritual experience and our experience of the divine.…

A NtR Short: The Happiness Formula: The Tale of Abd al-Rahman III’s 14 Days 15:34

hace 30 días15:34

15:34

There are many competing formulas for happiness. In this episode, exploring the tale of Abd al-Rahman III and his fourteen days of fulfillment, we look at two such formulas. What emerges is a conclusion backed by science: only experiences of beauty and connection make our lives meaningful and, therefore, happy. What then, do we find most beautiful and how do we pursue it? If we can name this, we can identify simple practices for living in the truly beautiful, which is the only path to abiding happiness.…

Life and Breath: The Art and Science of Wim Hof Breathing, Cold Plunge, and Building New Neural Networks (A Conversation with Nolan Kim, Part II) 28:46

hace 5 weeks28:46

28:46

In this second conversation with Nolan Kim, director of Power Coaching, we explore more practices for befriending the body. We begin with a dive into the science behind cold plunging and how a simple breathing practice from Wim Hof can radically boost your immune system. Nolan also outlines a number of exercises that will help you ground in your body, lower your blood pressure, and do the hard things that life requires of all of us. Since learning to be fully in your body is the foundational base of so much transformational practice, this knowledge and these exercises can be, quite literally, life-changing.…

Breathing well is central to living well. In this conversation with Nolan Kim, director of Power Coaching, we explore the simplest practices for transforming your sense of presence and power through the transformation of your breath. But this is bigger than breath: ultimately Nolan invites us into a conversation about how to truly choose life while we draw breath, because our time is too precious for anything else.…

The Hardest Thing We Ever Do: Self-Compassion as a Core Practice (Storytelling V) 36:38

hace 11 weeks36:38

36:38

As a conclusion to the storytelling series, we explore one of the hardest things we ever learn to do: refusing self-judgment and embracing every part of us with compassion. Self-compassion has nothing to do with going soft on ourselves or giving ourselves a pass; in fact, it demands ruthless self-awareness and integrity. It is the death of our ego's self-focus and, for many, a path to the Divine. If we can learn to hold our story and ourselves with compassion, we are well on our way to becoming wounded healers in a hurting world.…

A NtR Short: Four Characters in the Brain (and How to Talk to Them!) 17:57

hace 23 weeks17:57

17:57

We have four “characters” in our brains: two in our left hemisphere and two in our right. These characters have vastly different concerns and focuses, and when we find ourselves mired in the more self-absorbed or anxious characters, we can feel really stuck. In this episode, following the work of Jill Bolte-Taylor, we explore a way of getting unstuck. By knowing these characters and addressing them directly, we can toggling between them. And by toggling, we can shift our experience in any given moment to broader perspective, stories, and possibilities.…

A NtR Short: Feeling Like a Fraud? Confronting Imposter Syndrome Head-On 11:17

hace 24 weeks11:17

11:17

Imposter syndrome is a very specific type of tyranny, under which many labor. It is the fear of being found out, of being exposed, of being revealed a fraud. It destroys freedom and consumes energy, leading to exhaustion. In this episode, we explore the roots of imposter syndrome and a pathway for confronting it—even stopping it right in its tracks—for the sake of freedom, courage, and hope.…

A NtR Short: Micro Mindfulness: Simple Practices for Living in the Abundant Present 19:57

hace 25 weeks19:57

19:57

The goal of life is, in some sense, simply to become present. In this episode, we explore micro mindfulness, through which we can train and habituate our bodies to live in a relax, restful, and regulated state (in polyvagal theory, what is called a ventral-vagal state). By recognizing “glimmer moments”—moments of everyday beauty and peace—and then training our brains and bodies to be fully present for them, we can change our lives in simple but endlessly profound ways.…

In Search of a New Story: Turning to Earth and Soul to Renew Spirituality (A Second Conversation with John Philip Newell) 1:10:59

hace 26 weeks1:10:59

1:10:59

In this second conversation with John Philip Newell, we explore how Celtic spirituality informs a movement back to the soul and to the earth. By framing our core human essence as well as the material world as good (contra much of the dualistic philosophy and theology that has guided Western history), we can discover deeper ways to be human beings. Guided by thoughts from Newell’s newest book, The Great Search: Turning to Earth and Soul in the Quest for Healing and Home , we explore big concepts as well as daily practices for grounding and centering our lives.…

A NtR Short: The Freedom of “It’s Not About Me” 18:06

hace 27 weeks18:06

18:06

In this short, we explore the power of immersing one’s self in a simple four-word phrase: “It’s not about me.” It’s a mantra that has the power to reorient our thinking and our entire neurobiology, as we learn to see ourselves as a small part of something much bigger, removing the pressure that can build up when we take our ego, our emotions, or our sense of self too seriously. In the second half of the short, we explore different ways of engaging “It’s not about me” on a most practical level in order to cultivate a fully flourishing life.…

A NtR Short: Left Brain/Right Brain: Meditation, Neurobiology, and the Power to Become Present (Becoming Present II) 22:48

hace 29 weeks22:48

22:48

We live in a left brain world. The brain’s left hemisphere is generally concerned with being explicit, certain, and in control. The right hemisphere, in contrast, is focused on story, metaphor, space, and connection. Shifting to the right brain can open up a world of possibility, as we become more concerned with what we experience and how we’re connected and less concerned with being right. In this episode, we explore how to shift from left brain to right brain, with a specific meditation practice designed to help you engage this shift.…

Dealing with Beliefs that Keep Us Stuck: Anger, Advocacy, and the Power of “Hell No” Energy (Storytelling IV) 41:17

41:17

We all have automatic negative thoughts and beliefs that can keep us stuck. What's to be done? In this episode, we explore how the unresolved arousal in our stories can lead to beliefs that produce terrible fruit in our lives. And we explore the resource within our agency to renounce those stories, advocating for our freedom. Finding this “hell no” energy within us can be challenging and vulnerable, but it is a road to radical flourishing.…
