    A Practice for Regulating Your Nervous System

    Your nervous system walks into the room before your words do. When we’re mentally scattered, the people we care about feel it as divided attention, tight energy, and a subtle lack of safety. We want to be fully there, but “be present” is useless advice unless you have a repeatable way to get back into your body on demand.  We share a simple seated grounding practice drawn from qigong inspired training and the idea of foot consciousness. You’ll learn how to set it up with feet on the floor, how to use light movement to wake up sensation, and how to stop overthinking by feeling the ground directly. From there we guide a surprisingly powerful relaxation sequence: imagining the feet slowly melting, using shallow water imagery to release tension, and expanding attention up through calves and shins without straining or forcing focus.  Then we add two game changing layers for nervous system regulation: a gentle lift at the back of the head to align the spine and a clear cue for pelvic floor relaxation. Finally, we bring in the breath, not to “push” intensity, but to deepen calm and widen your emotional bandwidth. Try it before a meeting, a date, or time with friends as a palate cleanser for your energy. If it helps, subscribe, share it with someone who runs on stress, and leave a review with what you noticed in your body. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ Watch this episode and many more on my Youtube channel! 👀 Instagram/ Braxtongilbert

    Grief, Porn, and Bluey | Mason Sawyer

    Mason Sawyer lost 3 children, his wife, brother and nephew in a sudden tragedy, now he spends his time helping others. We talk about a whole lotta shit. Here's what CoHost AI said this episode is about:  "Some conversations hit you with a hard truth: there is no “right thing” to say, and there is no fix coming. That’s where we start with Mason Sawyer of The 1090 Rule, a host who has spent years sitting with devastating loss stories and learning what actually helps. We dig into what it means to hold space for grief, why advice can create distance, and how silence, patience, and plain human honesty can make someone feel less alone.  From there, we widen out into the messy ways people cope. We talk about crying, dark humor, and the quiet work of “caring for the soul” rather than obsessing over solutions. Then the conversation turns toward sexual shame, porn addiction, and sex addiction recovery, including how novelty and doom-scrolling can rewire arousal, how to spot the line between pleasure and compulsion, and why porn can become a powerful form of emotional numbing when stress, anxiety, or grief spikes.  We also get practical about parenting and healthy sexuality: how to speak without shame, how consent language can be simple, and how to create the kind of trust where a kid can actually come to you. If you take one thing away, let it be this: sadness and joy can coexist, and connection is a skill you can practice.

    The Layers of Women’s Sexual Empowerment | Juliet Allen

    So many women are quietly carrying a fear that runs their love life: “If I want too much, I’ll be judged or left.” We go straight into that tension, unpacking sexual shame, the pressure to stay palatable, and why self-censorship can feel safer than honesty. Along the way, we connect the “too much” story to abandonment wounds and early experiences that teach the nervous system to hold back, perform, and prioritize someone else’s comfort over real desire. From there, we zoom out into a holistic view of sexual wellbeing. We talk about sexual energy as life force energy, the kind of creative fuel that affects confidence, health, relationships, and purpose. We also challenge the limits of symptom-only thinking in modern Western medicine and ask the questions that actually change outcomes: Are you emotionally safe? Are you having sex from duty or from genuine want? What happens in the body when you suppress your truth for years? We also get practical and specific. We share first steps for rebuilding a sexual relationship with yourself, why embodiment matters more than just collecting information, and how therapy or skilled support can help you clear the beliefs that block body love. Then we explore tantra, polarity, and the shift from goal oriented sex to deeper, heart-opening love making, including simple frames that change how you touch and how you’re touched. If you want more freedom, more honesty, and more aliveness in your sex life, hit play, share this with a friend who needs it, and subscribe so you don’t miss what comes next.

    How People Pleasing Trains Your Nervous System (feat Mom)

    What if keeping everyone happy has been teaching your body a risky lesson: my safety depends on your approval? We dive into people pleasing not as a character flaw, but as an adaptive relationship strategy that once kept us connected and now keeps us stuck. With stories that range from being the “teacher’s pet” to a drained family dinner after a long day at Universal, we draw a clear line between clean compromise and compliance that breeds resentment. Together we unpack how approval-seeking gets wired into the nervous system, why disappointment often feels like danger, and how to retrain those alarms with steady, repeatable practices. We share simple scripts—“Discomfort is not danger” and “My truth spoken calmly is safer than my silence”—and show how to use them in real moments: telling a client that extra requests cost extra, giving direct feedback at work without over-explaining, or choosing a quiet night instead of one more obligation you don’t have energy for. The goal isn’t to swing toward selfishness; it’s to make choices from truth instead of fear and to invite the people you love to do the same. You’ll hear practical rules of thumb to spot a people-pleasing yes—like whether you’ll stew, scorekeep, or blame later—and learn why most relationships can tolerate disappointment and then repair. For those who can’t, that clarity is a gift. By the end, you’ll have language, mindset shifts, and tiny experiments to help you set boundaries without being a jerk, honor your limits, and build connection that’s deeper because it’s honest. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a brave “no,” and leave a quick review to help more listeners find these tools.

    5 Bedroom Skills Every Man Should Master

    What if great sex isn’t about getting somewhere, but about feeling everything? We share five practices that turn a frantic sprint to climax into a steady, nourishing experience that fills the whole body and brings you closer to your partner. It starts with a simple shift: stop forcing arousal and start feeling. By settling into your senses—skin, breath, weight on the sheets—you invite the parasympathetic nervous system to take the lead. Performance anxiety eases, erections can ebb and flow without panic, and pleasure becomes a current you can ride instead of a peak you must reach. From there, we reframe how we look at a lover’s body. Rather than chasing novelty, we practice contemplative appreciation—a gaze that lets beauty move us inward and expand desire from neediness into generosity. We talk about how porn habits can narrow attention and how slowing down reopens it. Then we dig into a practical cornerstone: relaxing the pelvic floor. Chronic clenching forces a fast finish; softening turns the pelvis into a doorway for sensation to travel through the hips, spine, and chest. We connect this to self‑pleasure habits and explain why the way you touch yourself trains the way you touch another person. Expression seals the shift. Sound and movement aren’t theatrics; they are tools for circulating arousal so it doesn’t bottleneck. Gentle hip waves, a rolling spine, breathy moans—they spread charge, release tension, and invite your partner into a shared rhythm. Finally, we drop the finish line altogether. Lasting longer comes from feeling more, not less, and from building the body’s capacity to hold intensity through breath work, meditation, and patient touch. Think of sex like a slow meal—rich, textured, and satisfying—where the goal is to savor every flavor. If this sparks something, subscribe, share with a friend who’d love it, and leave a review telling us which practice you’ll try first. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ Watch this episode and many more on my Youtube channel! 👀 Instagram/ Braxtongilbert

    Guided nervous system exercise

    What if calm began at your feet? We guide a simple, vivid meditation that starts by relaxing the shoulders, face, and pelvic floor, then shifts awareness into the soles to create a grounded base. From there, we play with a light Qigong-inspired image: breathe as if you’re drawing air up through your feet and legs into your body, then exhale back down through the legs. It’s not literal breathwork—it’s a sensory frame that helps the nervous system settle, quiets a busy mind, and replaces head-heavy tension with embodied ease. Once that foundation feels steady, we raise the stakes in a gentle way. We invite you to bring a real-life trigger into awareness—maybe a relationship longing, a habit you’d like to soften, or any shiny urge that usually pulls you off center. The practice is to keep your feet rooted and your pelvic floor relaxed while the breath continues its upward flow. As sensations tighten—perhaps a closing in the chest or a clench in the gut—we use the breath like warm sunlight, offering space for the body to open. This is where grounded attention shifts from a nice idea to practical soul work: learning to hold desire without getting dragged by it. By the end, you’ll have a repeatable technique you can use at your desk, on a walk, or before a tough choice: anchor attention in the feet, relax the seat, breathe up through the legs, and exhale down to release. Expect less rumination, more presence, and a steadier center when life presents its pulls. If the groove feels good, linger for a few extra minutes to reinforce it. Subscribe for more guided practices, share this with a friend who needs grounding today, and leave a review to tell us what shifted for you. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ Watch this episode and many more on my Youtube channel! 👀 Instagram/ Braxtongilbert

    4 reasons to practice Qigong (sensitivity > intensity)

    What if the feeling you’re chasing is already available in your body, quietly waiting under the noise? I share how a simple, repeatable Qigong routine—deep belly breathing, a relaxed pelvic floor, and soft, grounded feet—reshaped my days from the inside out. The practice made me less desperate for external wins and more energized to pursue what matters, a paradox that turned out to be the point: calm is fuel when it lives in the body, not just the mind. We begin with a short guided segment you can follow along with to feel the core cues in real time. From there, I unpack the ripple effects: steadier emotional regulation during high-stakes conversations, a spontaneous shift from shallow chest breathing to slow abdominal breaths, and the way that physiological change quietly rewired my baseline consciousness. As sensitivity increased, my energy habits changed too—I cut caffeine to near-zero without willpower and doubled down on consistent sleep because my nervous system finally told the truth about what helped and what hurt. The conversation also moves into intimacy, where presence becomes the setting rather than the goal. Grounded breath and relaxed attention shift sex from a hunt for intensity to an experience of depth, connection, and whole-body pleasure. Sensitivity turns out to be the unlock: it widens the spectrum of sensation and allows arousal to circulate through the body instead of bottlenecking. No mystical posturing required—just repeatable cues that make the room feel different. This is not about perfect routines or rigid beliefs. It’s about a practical, 15–20 minute, every-other-day habit that cleans the lens and lets you meet life with more calm, clarity, and charge. Try the guided practice, notice your breath during the day, and see what changes when your feet meet the ground. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review telling me what you felt. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ Watch this episode and many more on my Youtube channel! 👀 Instagram/ Braxtongilbert
