    Facing The Darkness

    In this episode of Chasing Thoughts, Mindy and Keith dive deep into the shadows with “Facing The Darkness.” 🌑✨ We explore the often misunderstood parts of ourselves—the darkness within. Instead of seeing these hidden aspects as forces to fear or ignore, we discuss how they’re here to teach us, not harm us. By learning to communicate with these inner depths, we can uncover the wisdom and strength they hold. 🕯️🌱 Join us as we discuss how to see life as a garden to be experienced rather than a journey with a final destination. Life's garden is rich with moments for growth, understanding, and embracing even the dark parts that shape us. 🌿 Let’s shift our perspective on life’s darker corners and discover the balance, resilience, and beauty within. #ChasingThoughts #FacingTheDarkness #InnerWork #SelfDiscovery #EmbraceYourShadows #LifeIsAGarden #PodcastLife #Mindfulness #GrowthMindset 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:07 Facing the darkness 00:05:25 We need the dark, just as we need the light 00:11:17 Learning to communicate with all of who we are 00:14:23 Living in our heads or through our senses 00:21:03 Visualizations 00:25:14 Seeing some of our own darkness 00:31:58 The darkness is designed to serve us 00:34:54 How much do we miss when we live in our heads and forget about our senses 00:46:28 Experiencing life as a garden rather than a journey Show Notes: Green has a natural calming effect on us, largely because of our evolutionary connection to nature. When you hike and are surrounded by green, your brain associates it with natural environments that are safe, nourishing, and supportive of life. Studies show that green can lower stress levels, help calm the nervous system, and even improve mood, which is why spending time in green spaces can feel so restorative. Beyond the color itself, the act of being in nature immerses you in patterns and sounds that our minds find soothing and rhythmic, like leaves rustling and birds chirping. The combination of movement, fresh air, and sensory connection to nature’s colors can make hiking a perfect recipe for a peaceful, recharged mind.

    Chasing Thoughts | S03 E05: Chasing Down Beliefs

    In this latest episode of the Chasing Thoughts podcast, Mindy and Keith dive into the beliefs we’ve adopted throughout our lives—those handed down by our parents, teachers, and experiences. Many times the beliefs we’ve adopted are founded in fear, and that fear multiplies and grows in the silence of our hearts until they become the monsters of our worst nightmares. But the fear that formed into the creatures which control us so easily, were born to protect us. In reality, they are our friends and we need to build a better relationship with them. When we confront our fears it leads to a moment of awareness, and that awareness allows us to develop new ways of dealing with those fears, so that they once again take their proper place in our lives, instead of being the controller of our lives. Join Mindy and Keith as they discuss ways to break free from those fictional beliefs that no longer serve us 🧠💡 and learn how to follow what feels lighter and more expansive.
