    On The Other Side Of Comfortable

    What if the very thing you've been trying to avoid is the thing that would make you feel more alive?In this episode, Blaine explores tapas, one of the Niyamas from Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Often translated as discipline or inner fire, tapas is the willingness to choose growth over comfort, even when the easier option is to walk away.A year earlier, Blaine had signed up for a duathlon. As race day approached and life became busier than expected, she seriously considered backing out more than once. Instead, she decided to keep her commitment and show up.The race became more than a physical challenge. It was a reminder that some of the most rewarding experiences in life happen when we're willing to be uncomfortable. Confidence grows when we do hard things. Life becomes more interesting when we stop choosing only what's familiar.If you've been tempted to back away from something because it feels difficult or inconvenient, this episode is an invitation to consider what might be waiting for you if you keep going.

    Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive.Why can someone you love still create a stress response in your body?In this episode, Blaine shares what happened during a recent visit with her brother and the familiar tightness that showed up in her chest almost immediately. The experience led her into a conversation about family conditioning, childhood stress patterns, and the ways our nervous systems respond around the people who shaped us earliest.Using the lens of Energy Medicine and the Fire Element, Blaine explores the relationship between connection, protection, emotional openness, and the body's instinct to guard the heart. She also shares some of the intentional tools she uses during family visits to help her body feel more open, calm, and connected when old patterns start getting activated.If family gatherings leave you feeling tense, emotional, shut down, overactivated, or exhausted afterward, this episode will probably feel very familiar.Now available wherever you get your podcasts!Chapters:00:00 Introduction00:49 My Brother02:53 First Chest Sensation06:31 Why It Happens09:41 Fire Energy Conflict12:03 Calming Breath Tool13:24 Thymus Tapping14:22 Pinky Nail Acupressure15:24 Chest Opening Reset15:54 ConclusionEpisode Resources:EMYoga Online Courses: emyoga.thinkific.com/collections/emyoga-coursesShop our EMYoga Store: emyogastore.com/Sign up for our FREE weekly Newsletter: www.energymedicineyoga.net/Listen on Spotify: Energy WorksListen on Apple Podcasts: Energy WorksFollow us on Instagram: @EnergyMedicineYogaFollow us on Facebook: @EnergyMedicineYoga#EnergyMedicineYoga #EMYoga #EnergyWorksPodcast #WellnessPodcast #EnergyMedicine #HeartEnergy #FamilyHealing #TripleWarmer #Shen #NervousSystemSupport

    Can Fun Change Your Nervous System?

    Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. In this third follow-up episode on play, Lauren and Blaine revisit the tension between purposeful activities and genuine play, and whether the two can coexist.Blaine also shares what happened after the last episode stirred up some defensiveness for her. What started as an experiment with watercolor painting ended in a surprising shift in the nervous system. Her Oura ring data shifted measurably from “stressed” to “relaxed” during and after the session, providing her with real-time evidence that play affects far more than mood. From there, Lauren and Blaine explore how play can be woven into work itself. They introduce the yogic concept of “Lila,” meaning cosmic play, and how the witness perspective allows you to participate fully in the present moment.But they don't stop at the bright side. The episode takes an honest turn into play's shadow through discussing boundary-testing teasing, gaslighting disguised as humor, and the pull of addictive play.The conversation lands on attunement, balance, and the difference between play that restores and play that consumes. This one goes deep and leaves you with a richer, more honest relationship with what it means to truly play.

    The Art of Slowing Down

    Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. Slowing down sounds easy until you realize how hard it is to get your mind and body in the same place at the same time.In this episode, Blaine shares how “The Art of Slowing Down” grew from a local Energy Medicine Yoga workshop at a Colorado rec center into a session for Boulder County employees during a particularly stressful season at work. What happened next surprised her. The response was immediate. People felt calmer, more present, and relieved to have tools they could use right away, rather than one more thing to “work on.”Blaine talks about what slowing down really means in the body, why so many people stay stuck in a low-grade stress response all day long, and the small moment during the Boulder County session that made her realize this conversation needs to happen in far more places than yoga studios.She also shares a few of the practices from the workshop and explains why simple, repeatable actions can have such a strong effect on the nervous system over time.If stress has started feeling more normal than calm, this episode is for you.

    Why Play Matters (In a World Obsessed with Doing)

    Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. In this follow-up episode on play, Lauren and Blaine dive into why "play" is so surprisingly hard to define. Drawing on research, they explore a definition of play as voluntary, time-freeing, improvisational, and apparently purposeless. They then contrast it with activities we often mislabel as play, like cooking, exercise, and goal-driven creativity.Blaine shares a story from her triathlon days that reveals how deeply she struggled to shift from structured training into genuine playfulness, and what finally inspired her to pick up watercolor painting purely for joy. Lauren describes turning landscaping chores and snow clearing into spontaneous games, and why that shift matters more than it sounds.Together, they connect authentic play to energy coherence, stress recovery, better sleep, creativity, and even animal survival behavior. Lauren and Blaine make the case that small, purposeless "play breaks" aren't a luxury, but a biological and energetic need.Now available wherever you get your podcasts!Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:14 Billionaires And Backlash 03:01 Integrity And Nuance 05:08 Blaine Reacts To Play 05:53 Consternation Defined 07:16 Triathlon Joy Story 11:55 Defining Play Together 15:08 Blaine Finds Her Play 20:13 Purpose Versus Play 23:34 Is Cooking Really Play 24:38 Purposeless Play Debate 25:04 Cooking as Social Play 25:51 Gendered Views on Purpose 26:45 Landscaping Turned Game 29:14 Snowballing the Deck 30:43 Play as Energy Coherence 33:52 Intel Fires Itself 36:33 Stress Data Meets Play 41:49 Animals Play for Survival 45:07 Fire Element and Healing 46:49 Tiny Play Break Ideas 47:52 ConclusionEpisode Resources:EMYoga Online Courses: emyoga.thinkific.com/collections/emyoga-coursesShop our EMYoga Store: emyogastore.com/Sign up for our FREE weekly Newsletter: www.energymedicineyoga.net/Listen on Spotify: Energy WorksListen on Apple Podcasts: Energy WorksFollow us on Instagram: @EnergyMedicineYogaFollow us on Facebook: @EnergyMedicineYoga#EnergyMedicineYoga #EMYoga #EnergyWorksPodcast #WellnessPodcast #Play #Playful #PurposelessPlay #TheEnergyofPlay
