    The finest vintage: for the woman still waiting for love

    Soon, it will come.   And when it does, I have no doubt you’ll be ready.  But in this period of waiting, I invite you to reflect on the ideas laid out in this episode:  1) The alchemy of tannins and the maturing of wine2) The fragmented beauty of the Japanese art of Kintsugi 3) The cultivation of yourself in an “enclosed” garden Do not lose patience.  Do not despair.  When the time is right, you’ll be ready.  Dating with clarity, healing from situationship, emotional intelligence in relationships

    To the woman who fears she’s running out of time (a fertility reframe)

    Too often, the effort to conceive devolves into a frustrating war with time— A struggle against an impatient society’s expectations.  A race against nature’s cruel, inexorable “biological clock” ⏱️ In this meditation, I hope to reframe your fertility journey and restore your inner peace.  Here, we’ll unburden ourselves of constantly “trying”, and embrace the quiet sanctity of just “being”.  Themes covered in this episode include:  1) The Inner Citadel: An idea borrowed from the Stoics. A fortified soul through whose walls nothing can penetrate. 2) Negative Capability: An idea from poet John Keats. We’ll reclaim the state of uncertainty as a profound mystery—a hallowed space in which great things take form. 3) Chiaroscuro: Something aesthetic. We see the "not yet" as the enriching shadow against which the masterwork is brought into ever more vivid and beautiful relief.  If this episode resonates with you, please comment or send a note to pneuma.finneran@gmail.com (Oh...and I posted it on YouTube as well!

    A radiologist in search of a root | Kavin Mistry

    Doctor Kavin Mistry is a physician, educator, and author, whose mission is to combine the precision of modern medicine with the wisdom of our primal biology.  ‘Tis a combination devoutly to be wished!  Lucky for us, Doctor Mistry is uniquely positioned to bring them together.  A decorated neuroradiologist, Doctor Mistry has spent a quarter century reading countless brain scans, in which he discovered an alarming trend:  A widening gap between a patient’s chronological and cognitive age.  Reared among the Hadza tribesmen of Africa, Doctor Mistry is working hard to shrink this gap by reintroducing the wisdom of our primal ancestors–whose vitality, in many ways, far outpaces our own.  I urge you to check out his beautifully-designed website:  https://kavinmistrymd.com/ Spend a few minutes and fill out the “Primal Alignment Index”. I did. It's free. This index will give you some insight on how to improve your overall wellbeing, and where, on Dr. Mistry’s 7 Paradigms, you should focus your attention.  https://kavinmistrymd.com/primal-alignment-index/#assessment Finally, Doctor Mistry’s book, “Primal Health Design Paradigms”, available at the link below:  https://www.amazon.com/Primal-Health-Design-Paradigms-Biological-ebook/dp/B0DT5ZGF9D As for me, don’t hesitate to reach out!  Comments, questions, or potential guests, I’d love to hear what you have to say.  pneuma.finneran@gmail.com

    Your mattress, demystified | Derek Hales

    Derek Hales is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Nap Lab.  Nap Lab is a mattress review site on which all the mystifying jargon and hyped-up claims put out there by the industry are put to the test.  For over a decade, Derek and his team have meticulously inspected over 500 beds.  On each and every one, they perform 10 rigorous assessments, from which they gather some 64 points of data. Equipped with this data, you can make better-informed decisions about what bed you'd like to buy.  More important, in my opinion, is Derek’s commitment to three things:  Simplicity, transparency, and honesty.  If you’re in the market for a new mattress, a visit to Nap Lab is a vital prerequisite to making the big purchase.  https://naplab.com/  Link to the  Fast Company article mentioned in the intro:   https://www.fastcompany.com/3065928/sleepopolis-casper-bloggers-lawsuits-underside-of-the-mattress-wars As for me, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Send them to pneuma.finneran@gmail.com.
