What if emotions were just sensations within the body? What if the same was true for thoughts? What would this mean for you and why is knowing and seeing this in every day life going to help you become less stressed and more relaxed within your body? IN this episode slash live exercise, I go into these topics and more. Please consider sharing this episode or understanding with others if you find this exercise at all helpful.

Many meditation teachers only show you how to breathe deeply to relax, and indeed I do the same thing, but near the end of this episode, I show you a way to do this naturally. Enjoy.

In many people's minds, suffering has to do with the emotions you are experiencing, but in this episode, I explain that emotions are nothing more than responses to outer and inner stimuli. I also explain that suffering comes not when emotional responses do, but when the mind resists those responses, or the events that caused them. In this episode, I explain that there are 3 basic ways in which the mind can deal with these rsistences and events, 1: resist them; 2: suppress them, or 3: become mindful of them. I also give a live exercise on all three of these to see which works best for you. Enjoy.

Many of us only breathe "with the chest, but their are many problems with doing this, one of them being shallower breaths. In this episode, I will show you how to breathe through the belly to increase air flow, slow down the breath, and make you calmer.

Many of us are very confident about ourselves and our abilities. In this episode I explain why our confience is often an overestimation of our actual skills and that when this happens, we become less aware of not only what we are doing, but the mistakes and inaccuracies we are making as well. I also explain how we often mistake confidence for truth when others seem confident and how this can get us into truble as well.

Why are people naïve and what causes it? In this episode I will be talking about this and more as we go deeper with motivation and why certain people are the way they are. Enjoy.

In this episode of the specifist, I am going to be talking about what predetermination is, how it works, as well as how this relates to the self. Many ideas and explanations have been given to describe what the self is, but I give my own definition as well as why I think this, and no other definition applies more than any other. This was the interesting article that not also inspired this episode, but helped me understand the self more than I already did: https://bigthink.com/articles/the-self-is-not-an-illusion/
