61: Building Your Meditation Practice

If you’re a regular listener, you know how much I love meditation.

We have a number of recommendations for apps that can help you get started, suggestions for treating yourself well as you begin to integrate meditation into your life each day, and of course,...

58: Sad, Lonely and Empty

We cover our feelings with numbing agents. Food. Alcohol. Work. The drive of our adolescent chair tells us that if we only had something to fill these holes in our lives, we’d be better, so we eat more, drink more, work more. Maybe we get married or have a child, always expecting that this next great thing will heal us. But the holes keep growing, and as soon as we stop for bit, stop covering up, we feel the sadness, loneliness, emptiness that fills us.   Today’s conversation comes thanks to the...

56: What do I do with my Feelings and Emotions?

As humans, we feel things deeply. Many of us cope with those feelings — particularly the negative ones — with some sort of numbing agent like food, or booze, or anything to minimize the impact of those feelings in our daily lives. But what do we do with those feelings and emotions get stuck? What do we do when we start to get baked in that shape of grief? This week on the show we’re talking all about the practice of moving with and through our emotions, and share the...
