    Your Mind Isn’t the Enemy — It’s Untrained

    Send us a text Your Mind Isn’t the Enemy — It’s Untrained Why Presence Is the Power You’ve Been Looking For  ✨  If your mind feels loud, reactive, or exhausting lately, this episode is for you. In this episode of The Aligned Human Project Podcast, Dawn Elgin reframes one of the most misunderstood human experiences: our relationship with the mind. The problem isn’t that you think too much.  The problem is that no one ever taught you how to be present with thinking. Drawing from Law 3 of Field + Form — Presence = Power, Dawn explains why effort, discipline, and control often make inner suffering worse — and how awareness restores choice, regulation, and sovereignty. You’ll explore:  ✨ Why pain is inevitable but suffering is optional  ✨ How internal “self-attack” creates exhaustion and anxiety  ✨ Why reactivity is a nervous system response, not a character flaw  ✨ What it actually means to “train the mind”  ✨ Why control becomes addictive when presence is absent  ✨ How presence stabilizes the field and restores choice  ✨ A gentle embodied micro-practice to return to center in real time This episode isn’t about silencing the mind.  It’s about learning how to witness it — without losing yourself inside it. Mantra: “I don’t need to control my mind.  I need to stay present with it.”Reflection Question: Where am I reacting from habit instead of responding from presence?Explore Further: 🌀 Align Your Life — a 12-month journey through the 12 Laws of Co-Creation 🌐 practicalspiritualismco.com Connect with Dawn: Follow Practical Spiritualism on Instagram  Follow Dawn on Instagram Practical Spiritualism on Facebook  Dawn’s TikTok  The Awakening Circle (Dawn private FB community)  Watch and Listen to episodes and more on YouTube!  Sign Up for Dawn’s personal letter

    Returning to Center When the World Feels Unsteady

    Send us a text Returning to Center When the World Feels Unsteady Presence, Coherence & Choice in a Dysregulated World  If you’ve been feeling anxious, emotionally raw, ungrounded, or quietly overwhelmed by the state of the world — this episode is for you. In this steady, grounding episode of The Aligned Human Project Podcast, Dawn Elgin explores why so many people feel dysregulated right now, why effort-based coping strategies often fail, and how to return to center without bypassing reality or losing yourself inside it. This is not an episode about fixing yourself or staying positive.  It’s about understanding what’s actually happening beneath the surface — and learning how to meet uncertainty with presence, coherence, and choice. You’ll explore:  ✨ Why we are living in a dysregulated collective field  ✨ How anxiety and anger function as signals, not defects ✨ Why most coping strategies don’t work long-term ✨ The difference between force and regulation ✨ How presence restores access to choice ✨ Why alignment must come before intention ✨ The eight characteristics of the soul that help you re-center ✨ How returning to center becomes a way of life This episode is an invitation into a longer journey of becoming an Aligned Human — not by escaping the world, but by meeting it with steadiness and truth. Mantra: “Even now — especially now — I can choose to return.”Reflection Question: Where am I reacting from dysregulation — and what would it feel like to return to center instead?Explore Further: 🌀 Align Your Life — 12-month journey through the 12 Laws of Co-Creation 🌐 practicalspiritualismco.com

    Why Alignment Isn’t About Getting It Right — It’s About Returning

    Send us a text Why Alignment Isn’t About Getting It Right — It’s About Returning From Habit to Heart: Renewing the Vow of the Aligned Human  This episode wasn’t planned.  It wasn’t polished.  It was lived. In this raw, unscripted episode of The Aligned Human Project Podcast, Dawn Elgin shares a deeply human moment: losing rhythm with her rituals, feeling the subtle guilt of “I should know better,” and choosing compassion instead of self-attack. This episode explores why the real work of alignment isn’t perfection — it’s returning. Again and again. You’ll hear about:  ✨ Why rituals don’t make us spiritual — they make us available ✨ How guilt and shame disrupt the nervous system ✨ The Bodhisattva vow and why it’s renewed daily ✨ Alignment as a daily orientation, not a destination ✨ The three paths of compassion: King, Ferryman, Shepherd ✨ Why judgment masquerades as accountability ✨ How a vow becomes a pattern interrupter ✨ The Aligned Human Vow — a one-minute daily renewal practice This episode is a reminder that awareness is the practice, compassion is the medicine, and alignment lives in the nervous system — not the ego. Mantra: “Alignment isn’t about being perfect.  It’s about being awake — and choosing again.”Reflection Question: Where am I tightening instead of returning — and what would compassion make possible right now? 1-Minute Aligned Human Vow Renewal (copy/paste): I pause. I feel my body. I come back to this moment. Today I renew my vow—not to be perfect, but to be present. I choose awareness over habit. I choose compassion over self-attack. I choose responsibility without shame. When I tighten, I will notice. When I react, I will return. When I fall into old patterns, I will extract the wisdom and release the weight. I do not abandon myself. I do not harden my heart. I remember: I am human—and I am capable of choosing again. In this breath, in this moment, I align my field before my form. I renew the vow to awaken—not someday, but now.

    Why Rest Isn’t Working Anymore — And What Actually Heals Burnout

    Send us a text “I took time off… and I’m still exhausted.”  “I slowed down… and I feel worse.”  “I rested… but the anxiety came right back.” If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. In this opening episode of January on The Aligned Human Project Podcast, Dawn Elgin dismantles one of the biggest myths about burnout, that rest alone will fix it. Burnout is not a time-management issue.  It’s not a motivation problem.  And it’s not because you’re weak. Burnout is a nervous system and coherence issue. In this episode, you’ll learn:  ✨ What burnout actually is (and what it isn’t)  ✨ Why high-functioning people are most at risk  ✨ Why slowing down can sometimes make burnout feel worse  ✨ How Field + Form explains exhaustion  ✨ Why coherence heals what rest cannot  ✨ Practical, daily practices that restore energy without losing ambition This episode offers relief without collapse — and a way forward that doesn’t require burning your life down. Mantra: “I stop forcing. I return to coherence. I come home to myself.” Reflection Question: Where am I living out of alignment — and what small shift would bring me back into coherence? ⏱️ Chapters / Timestamps 00:00 — Understanding Burnout: The Misconception 02:59 — Burnout as a Nervous System Issue 06:11 — High-Functioning Burnout (Why Achievers Are Most at Risk) 08:39 — Why Rest Doesn’t Work When You’re Misaligned 12:57 — What Actually Heals Burnout: The Path to Coherence 14:40 — Heart Coherence Breathing Practice Resources Mentioned: 🌀 Burnout to Alignment (free resource) 🌀 Align Your Life Group Coaching 🌐 practicalspiritualismco.com Connect with Dawn: Follow Practical Spiritualism on Instagram  Follow Dawn on Instagram Practical Spiritualism on Facebook  Dawn’s TikTok  The Awakening Circle (Dawn private FB community)  Watch and Listen to episodes and more on YouTube!  Sign Up for Dawn’s personal letter

    Crossing the Threshold: A Ritual of Reflection, Authorship & Choosing Your Word for the Year Ahead

    Send us a text There is a sacred moment every year that most people rush past —  the space after the holidays and before the new year begins. That space is called the threshold. In this Boxing Day episode of The Aligned Human Project Podcast, Dawn Elgin invites you into a guided ritual of reflection; not to set resolutions, fix yourself, or pressure the future — but to integrate what you’ve lived, honor who you’ve become, and consciously choose how you want to move forward. This episode is a pause.  A breath.  A return to authorship. You’ll experience:  ✨ Why reflection is a spiritual and neurological practice  ✨ A gentle month-by-month year review (without judgment)  ✨ How integration prevents repetition  ✨ Why resolutions fail — and words guide  ✨ A somatic practice for choosing your word for the year  ✨ Dawn’s personal story of choosing Alignment — and how it shaped everything ✨ A closing embodiment ritual to cross the threshold consciously This is not about becoming someone new.  It’s about stepping forward as someone truer. Mantra: “I honor what has been. I integrate what I’ve learned. I choose consciously what comes next.”Reflection Question: What quality wants to lead my life in the year ahead?

    Energy Vampires: What They REALLY Are & How to Stay Sovereign During the Holidays

    Send us a text Energy Vampires: What They REALLY Are & How to Stay Sovereign During the Holidays Why You Feel Drained — and How to Seal Your Energy with Field + Form Feeling exhausted, anxious, resentful, or emotionally drained after being around certain people — especially during the holidays? In this powerful episode of The Aligned Human Project Podcast, Dawn Elgin dismantles the myth of “energy vampires” and reveals the deeper truth: Energy vampires don’t steal your energy — you leak it. And the holidays amplify this because family systems, old trauma roles, and nervous system dysregulation pull us back into conditioned patterns where boundaries collapse and coherence is lost. In this episode, you’ll learn:  ✨ What energy vampires actually are (and what they’re not) ✨ Why you feel drained around certain people ✨ The 3 types of energy vampires and how to recognize each ✨ How the 12 Laws of Field + Form explain energy leakage ✨ Why the holidays make your field more porous ✨ How to stay sovereign, grounded, and coherent around anyone ✨ A closing embodiment practice to seal your field This episode will change how you move through relationships — not by avoiding people, but by staying aligned with yourself. Mantra: “I return to myself. I seal my field. I honor my energy.” Reflection Question: Where am I over-giving, over-carrying, or abandoning myself — and what boundary would restore my coherence?
