The Daily Scrub @healwithblair

When someone upsets us, we have an opportunity to pass it on or stop the game.

When we observe nature, we can drop into a state of presence immediately.  We can also learn what not to do in terms of managing our stress responses.  

In this episode, I discuss how your personal interactions change once you begin getting control of your emotional state.  I discuss the way our current state is reflected in others and how to relate it to our own efforts remove stress and bring happiness into our world and those around us.

Today I had the pleasure of being in the presence of two spiritual leaders from two distinct lineages. This is what they shared and how.

Following on from yesterday, once we close our eyes we are faced with darkness and nothingness but in that space we can create everything.

Our eyes are our window to the world but when we close our eyes, our minds still brings that world into our consciousness. In this episode, I share a technique to find calm and a chance to heal.

Paying attention to people is really important for your sake, their sake and the energetic quality of the interaction.

Long term stress does terrible things to our bodies and never allows us to heal. I talk a bit of science in this episode and wait to the end for a short practice to lower your stress levels for the day.

Resistance is an area of personal development that I’m fascinated by. In today’s ramble, I discuss my perception of resistance and how we can work with it to our advantage.

It is a law of nature for everything to have it's exact opposite.  When we are in pain, we often don't lift our gaze from ourselves to see what's possible. That's what this episode is about. 

The simple phrase ‘keep going’ has come through my intuition consistently over the past two years and that’s what I am doing. Listen to what that means to me and hope for others.

Fear is one of the hardest things for people to deal with.  I touch on what this means to me and how we can begin to manage it.  

Nothing can build and be sustainable without a strong base. In this episode, I teach a simple energetic meditation to reset your base and create calm & confidence.

Momentum is a natural process that cannot be disputed.  We gain confidence that our efforts to scrub every day will build momentum and push us past our emotional blocks into something much more fulfilling and enjoyable, even when it seems like nothing is happening.

We have many daily practices that keep us healthy, yet we often let stress build up to the point of overwhelm or something worse.  In this episode, we discuss why we should scrub every day for our short and long term benefit.  

I talk about the two tools I use that are most effective in cutting through stress, anxiety, depression in a short space of time.  

When stress prevents emotions from flowing, other vital body processes are effected. This and how to remedy through mediations is discussed today.

We simply can’t bust through layers of stress overnight. This is a step by stress process that we must have faith in.

In this nap sized episode on sleep, I talk about our body’s natural healer after several days of having too little!

Creating gaps in our thought stream can help us relax. Using our hearing ability to listen to sounds can bring us into presence.

Our universe is an energetic wonderland yet we only usually perceive a small aspect of what comes through our vision. However, there’s way more to be perceived across the entire bandwidth.

One of the best analogies for developing perspective on mindfulness and mindset is that of a garden and gardening. Discussed in today’s podcast!

We strive to create a life that is comfortable but usually stuff happens to bring that apart. In this episode, I discuss why that is and how to approach it with more awareness.

When I was on a flight yesterday, I realized how ‘invisible’ turbulence is a good metaphor for why we should scrub and maintain mindfulness.

In this episode, I begin to describe meditation techniques starting with what was probably the original meditation.
