Boxing yourself and others in with labels as they can dehumanize us. While some labels are necessary on products but they are not helpful when used on people. When we lump people into a group, there can be no connection and then there is no compassion or empathy which diminishes the humanity. Even when we define ourselves, it can put a box around and stifle who we are. Blanket statements don’t work and only limit our view. When you understand somebody’s story and the root of their pain, you have compassion and unconditional love for them. Act as if you know the root of everyone’s pain…because you do.

Mindfulness and Our Senses: In this episode, we explore the fascinating correlation between our sensory experiences and happiness. We discuss how our sensory interactions have diminished over the past two decades and examine the direct link between sensory experiences, happiness, and anxiety reduction.

Eddi guides us through a five-point sensing meditation, offering a practical tool to ground ourselves when feeling overwhelmed. We delve into various activities that engage our senses, including reading physical books, handwriting letters, listening to vinyl records, cooking from scratch, and gardening. We also touch on the importance of face-to-face conversations, playing board games, attending live performances, exploring nature, and engaging in hands-on crafting and DIY projects.

Join us as we rediscover the power of sensory experiences in enhancing our well-being and fostering a deeper connection with the world around us.

The only way past pain is through it. But what does that mean? Today, we explore the world of feelings. We delve into the distinction between feelings and emotions, and why feeling into your body is more effective than intellectual understanding. We discuss the importance of asking yourself, "Is it true and is it useful?"

Post-holiday season is the perfect time to learn more about our feelings and their healing potential. We explore how awareness, acknowledgment, and acceptance are crucial parts of the healing process. Discover how tuning into your body's sensations, rather than solely listening to your mind, can lead to emotional regulation and stress reduction.

Can you be okay with not having the answers? We try to explain so many things in life, and so much of it is just a bunch of bull-crap!

Are you comfortable with silence? When we are still, we can feel into what is happening rather than talking about or explaining it. Opening to the mystery of life, the deepening. To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly. Breathing a sigh of relief of not knowing. How exciting to not know what's next.

Curiosity is not asking why but moreover has a quality of openness. Can you be open to the mystery?

Talking about poop is often considered taboo in our culture, but it’s time we normalize this conversation! Our diverse styles of poop are like nature's colorful palette, with each hue and shape telling a unique story about your health and what’s brewing in your gut.

Your poo can serve as an indicator light, revealing what’s going on in your body. We have two brains: one in our head and another in our gut. There are many neurotransmitters in the gut, and 70% of your immune system resides in your belly. When your inner plumbing isn’t regular, you may feel unwell, and toxins can re-enter your system instead of being eliminated.

Psyllium is a great way to get things moving for some people, along with eating fruit peels and high-fiber foods. Remember, every poo is like a snowflake—none of them are the same! Your colon health is crucial, as it affects all systems, including our mental health. Feel free to let me know if you need any more adjustments!

Changing the narrative as we age is what our podcast is all about. Our bodies and our mind does change as we get older. When we resist where we are at in life, it can cause suffering. We desire comfort so much because aging is a very mysterious process. To sit or be with discomfort, sadness or jealousy, we can more easily allow these challenging feelings to move through us rather then sticking to us. We can’t ever really know how someone else is feeling. Allowing someone to be in their own pain can be a grace.

Eddi says she can now understand how older people are drawn to cruising as you don’t have to move your hotel as you travel around and see many different places. So this is a way that Eddi is embracing her aging, changing world. We are not trying to speed nor are we resigned in our specific age, but more so to just being okay and open to where we are at now. Welcoming the changes with a tenderness for yourself. Enjoying where you are at, with every stage of your life is a beautiful thing.

*Nothing is a problem unless we call it a problem.
*Maya Angelou's quote is: "What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain.”
“You alone are enough. You don’t have to prove yourself to anybody.” - Maya Angelou

Aristotle said that getting to know yourself is the beginning of all wisdom. Anything in life is either growing or dying. It's part of the natural cycle of life. But what does this have to do with your own life?

We naturally want to eat more rooted winter vegetables as it grows colder and do more hibernating-type things. It's almost like an inward movement, the cooler weather as we wear warmer clothing and it gets dark earlier. It's a time for less doing and maybe more introspection.

When we get to midlife, sometimes we question whether we know ourselves anymore. So going inward in the winter months can be a good time to reassess. It's never too late to know yourself or reacquaint yourself with where you are now.
