This episode looks at how we can use mindfulness and reflective questions to help us undo the strong pull within us to move away from being vulnerable. Asking important questions and reflecting on what matters most in our lives can put us in touch with our intrinsic values. When we are in touch with what really matters, were not consumed with competing with others, but in pursuit of living. Following the talk there will be a guided meditation.

#51: Finding Hope and Healing 38:49

منذ 4 years38:49

38:49

2020 and the start to this New Year has been incredibly stressful with over half a million COVID-19 deaths in the United States and over 2.4 million worldwide. We face continued political divisions, disruptions, uncertainty, and mental health and substance abuse crises. In this episode, we explore how to find hope and healing in the midst of continued uncertainty, disruptions, and crises. I share several Martin Luther King Jr. quotes as a way to honor his service and sacrifice to bring about justice, equality, and unity. Several therapeutic approaches for anxiety, trauma, and depression were discussed during this episode. Brainspotting is a mind/body therapeutic approach that helps process trauma stored in the subcortical brain. This approach was discovered in 2003 by David Grand, Ph.D., and over 13,000 therapists have completed professional training. To learn more or find a certified Brainspotting therapist visit https://brainspotting.com/ . I also mentioned Eye Movement Reprocessing Desensitization (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing (SE) as well as Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) as effective approaches in treating trauma. If you need a therapist who is trained in Brainspotting, EMDR, SE or IFS visit https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/ or https://www.goodtherapy.org/ and there you will be able to filter your search by type of therapy.

منذ 5 years24:05

24:05

**Announcement** A Keen Mind will host a NEW Online Community Meditation Group: First Meeting: May 3rd, 4pm EST- Details and how to register below. Meditation has been around for thousands of years, but it has not been until the last 40 years that science has taken a closer look at the benefits of a regular meditation practice. Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., created Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) as a way of bringing mindfulness meditation into the mainstream. Dr. Kabat-Zinn said that he wanted to make meditation as popular as jogging; in my opinion, I would say that he has done an amazing job making movement towards this goal! He has helped to popularize meditation by inspiring the creation of over 750 MBSR programs worldwide. Mindfulness-meditation has received national media attention and major corporations like Google and Aetna offer mediation classes because these skills are proven to improve employee health and decrease company costs. People are flocking to meditation because they are looking for ways to combat the stress epidemic we have in our society. We all face stress and currently, people are facing more stress than ever before. Stress over uncertainty, health/illness, loss, work, finances, relationships, time pressures, and a plethora of negative headlines have overtaken our well-being. We’re juggling competing demands and need new coping skills that will help us live in the present moment instead of being fixated on the future or the past. This episode will help you better understand what mindfulness and meditation are and what they are not. You will understand some of the latest research on the benefits of mindfulness meditation, as well as the risks in developing a meditation practice. This episode will also include a guided meditation. The NEW Online Community Meditation Group that will be offered at the beginning of May is an opportunity to learn and practice mindfulness-meditation with the support of others. The group is open to everyone on a drop-in basis. There is no need to have prior meditation experience; however, you may find listening to this episode #43: Understanding Mindfulness and Meditation will help you understand more about mindfulness and meditation as you prepare to join the group.

#41: Calming Fear & Anxiety with Meditation 15:27

منذ 5 years15:27

This episode explores the use of a concentration meditation called soft belly. With this meditation, you breathe in slowly and deeply through the nose and exhale through your mouth. As you exhale, allow your belly to soften and relax. Breathing in this way may be comfortable at first or you may find it to be unfamiliar. Practicing this meditation regularly will make breathing in this way feel more natural. This meditation can help you feel more relaxed and quiet down your thinking. 70-80% of people find benefits the first time, even when they are going through loss or major illness or traumatic event. Practicing for just 10 mins will help your body relax, slow your heart rate and many find an improvement with sleep, however, even just a few deep breaths in this manner can help calm your nervous system down. The soft belly breathing meditation and the autogenic relaxation training provided in this podcast were adopted from the book The Transformation by James S. Gordon, MD. The content was re-worded by Jude Johnson. Take care of yourself and each other- Jude Resources Connect with me on Facebook or Instagram where you will find inspiring posts about mindfulness and meditation.

Anxiety is the most common mental illness in the U.S. affecting about 40 million Americans. While there are many effective treatments for anxiety, only about 36% of those with anxiety actually seek treatment. While there are many approaches to help manage anxiety, this episodes explores how meditation can help you calm anxiety. Jude shares a personal story about how meditation helped him calm down in the midst of a recent moment of panic. This episode also includes a guided meditation. While meditation can be very helpful in managing anxiety, sometimes we need direct support.
