Ep 6: Hierarchy of Needs - Safety & Basic Needs - "The FundaMENTALs"
Hey! Nice to have you back! You may be picking up on what I’m putting down - how our brain and body intertwine, shaping our daily experiences. Armed with this understanding, we're mixing the batter together nicely as we see how embracing our basic functions empowers us. Picture your breath as the essential flour in your life's recipe – alone, sustaining, but combined with other ingredients, it enriches the flavor. So, let's spice things up and explore more ingredients together!
Part 1: Welcome to our first stop on this journey through the human hierarchy of needs! 🌟 In this episode, we delve into Abraham Maslow's iconic Hierarchy of Needs, exploring the foundational levels of Basic and Safety Needs. Learn how meeting these needs forms the basis for human flourishing and self-actualization, setting the stage for higher-order fulfillment. Let's prioritize our well-being and move from surviving to thriving! 🌱
Part 2: 🌀 Join us for a responsive breathing space practice in Part 2! 🌀 Discover how this practice helps us gently navigate discomfort, akin to kneading lumpy dough. Embrace the process of being with our experiences and see the magic unfold. Remember, you're awesome, you matter, and you deserve to thrive! #Self Actualization #HierarchyOfNeeds #HumanFlourishing🌟 #KnowYourFundaMENTALs
One more long episode to push some endurance - but listen to your mind and body and pace yourself if needed! There’s no need to rush, pace your listening like you pace your breathing if it works best for you - cool down is coming up next episode! 🌬️

Ep 5: Balance, Breathing & The Autonomic Nervous System (Part 3) - "The FundaMENTALs"
🌊 Welcome back to Episode 5! 💦 We're diving straight into the deep end, picking up where we left off in Episode 4 - Keep those floaties on if you need them! No social pressure here in these waters and from where I’m standing, you’re rockin’ them!🎸
These next two episodes are long ones! Pace yourself through it if needed - and think of it like you’re pushing through the peak of an exercise, knowing that there will be a cool-down episode after!
We start our episode with a wise and exceptionally retro quote🌟 Let's embrace this wisdom as we explore the final part of our Balance, Breathing, and the Autonomic Nervous System series.
🔍In Part 1, we'll delve into the power of perspectives. Perspectives shape our relationship with our minds, brains, and bodies, and the breath becomes our ally in strengthening those bonds. Get ready for insights on stress, balance, and the magic of awareness, acceptance, and choice. 🧠✨
🧘♂️In Part 2, we'll explore increased intentional awareness and how it empowers us to navigate life's complexities. Join us for our episode 5 practice: Mindfulness of Breath, Body, Sounds, Thoughts, Emotions, and Open Awareness. #MindBodyConnection #StressManagement #PerspectiveShift 🌬️🤔 #KnowYourFundaMENTALs

Ep 4 Practice: Box Breathing
Welcome to Episode 4 of our Box Breathing Practice! 📦 I'll guide you through finding your center, counting your breaths, and even adding a touch of humming if you're feeling adventurous! Remember, it's all about what works best for you in this moment. 💫
Get comfortable in your mindfulness posture—shoulders open, palms open, no crossed limbs. Unwind and settle in. 😌 For this practice, try to put a slight upturn of your mouth, like a subtle smirk. It's your secret smile! 😊
Focus on the air flowing in and out, noticing each inhale and exhale. Inhale for four counts, hold for four, exhale for four, and pause for four. 🌬️
If your mind wanders, gently bring it back to tracing the box and anchoring on your breath. 🧘♂️
As we conclude, open your eyes, check in with that smirk, and simply notice how you feel. Whether or not you're relaxed, calm or still going through some subtle waves of emotional feels - whatever your experience, seeing if you can continue to be with yourself and whatever arises, fostering a trust within yourself into the next moments of your life🌟 #Acceptance&Change #BoxBreathing #MindfulnessJourney 🌿
