Don't Think. Breathe.
"Don't Think, Breathe." is a platform for myself and my guests to discuss ideas related to mastering our minds, healthily expressing ourselves, and forming a spiritual bond with ourselves and the world around us. You will mainly find discussions based around developing better mental health and in an effort to do that, we explore all sorts of modalities on this podcast such as meditation, exercise, psychedelic therapy & different mental frameworks such as ACA, IFS, and Gene Keys. Some of these modalities are based in scientific study and others are anecdotal and based in individual's subjective experience so, I always encourage people to do their own research as we are always learning.
Overall, I feel we are all capable of living fulfilling lives on our own terms and hope that this podcast can be a vessel for communicating that idea to the listener.

Meditation: For Processing Our Emotions
The purpose of this guided meditation is to give the listener space to feel into any unpleasant or uncomfortable emotions they may be experiencing.
Before you begin:
- Get some headphones
- Stretch
- Get comfortable
Explanation of the practice:
When experiencing emotions or feelings we deem "uncomfortable" we tend to numb ourselves. When we numb using substances, food, TV, or other things, we are causing more discomfort in the long term. The best thing we can do in these instances is give our self space to feel these emotions. Often times these emotions are communicating something to us and require our attention. If we allow these feelings & emotions the space to be felt, we are more likely to draw insight from them and we are able to incorporate this insight into our lives.
What does incorporating these emotions look like?
- Making a shift in lifestyle
- Diet
- Sleep
- Exercise
- Screen-time
- etc...
- Change in behavior
- (Maybe you are behaving in a way that is causing you stress)
- People-pleasing
- Interactions with people
- Lack of interactions with people
- Relationship Shift
- (Maybe you are engaging in relationships that are inauthentic and are draining you)
Often the overwhelming emotions and feelings you experience are a result of these things so your body may be communicating that something needs to change. This is an opportunity to feel and learn anything you can from the experience.
