    Sit.Feel.Heal. Creating a Container of Presence.

    In this episode, Joe guides listeners through a simple approach to meditation, emphasizing the process of "Sit, Feel, Heal." He discusses the importance of creating a "container of presence"—a mental space for mindfulness and being present. Clements explores the challenges of maintaining presence amidst life's distractions but highlights that through mindfulness practices, such as focusing on the breath, sounds, and bodily sensations, it's possible to cultivate stillness and emotional healing. He introduces the idea of labeling thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in their stories, allowing individuals to develop healthier relationships with their emotions. By fostering awareness of the present moment, people can create a larger mental space for both difficult emotions and joy to coexist.

    Setting a Container of Presence for Every Part of You to Arrive and Flow

    In this episode, Joe touches on the nature of addiction, not just to substances, but to thought patterns, emotions, and the constant desire to be somewhere else or to experience something different. He explores how this kind of mental addiction stems from our constant striving for change—wanting more, less, or something different—even when life is objectively good. Joe reflects on how mindfulness meditation has helped him develop a wiser and more compassionate relationship with his thoughts and emotions. Joe describes the practice of meditation as a training that is counterintuitive in our culture, where people feel they must always be doing something to achieve a better state. He emphasizes that mindfulness is not about dismissing thoughts and emotions but about being aware of them without getting entangled in their narratives.
