Our fears give us a false and temporary sense of safety, but in reality keep us in a state of tension. True emotional & mental safety comes from somewhere else. This meditation can help identify the source of your fear, the function (what emotional experience it's protecting you from) and what beliefs are at the root of it. In this meditation, we listen. Let me say that again, we listen. Some...

In this episode I talk about thought patterns, mood indicators and examples of a growth AND a fixed mindset. One leads to revising chronic pain and one keeps us victim to the current state of our brain. A growth mindset is dependent on the science of neuroplasticity - the ability to change, grow & learn. Any time we do those 3 things, our brain changes shape. This is called neural retraining....

A big thanks to both of them for their vulnerability and sharing their thought...

As a Christian, it can be confusing to hear all of the evolutionary explanations of why our bodies are dysregulted or how to reverse chronic pain through using the vagus nerve, meditation, breathing, etc. I have had quite a few emails asking me to unpack my beliefs on this.

This goes back to Pavlov's dogs (classical conditioning) and understanding how the b...

He did this by journaling, visualizing, somatic tracking and more. Here is his blog and the amazing articles he has written...

When we feel the need to meet certain needs, we will put tons of pressure on ourselves to meet those needs. But are they really needs God wants us to meet?
