14 min - Episode 21: Skull Shining Breath
Hello, and welcome to Methods, an exploration in guided prayer and meditation. Today, our breath practice will be an advanced yogic breathing technique called Kapalabhati or “skull-shining breath”. This method is a great way to shake off negative energy and warm up your mind, body and spirit for a formal meditation practice, or just as a short meditation in itself to center you for the day. This method requires no spiritual belief or religious affiliation, so it is suitable for people of all faith traditions, or none.

In this episode of Methods, Danny Prada of Heartway Church leads us through a breath-based exercise that centers around some questions famously asked by Saint Francis of Assisi. "Who am I?" and "Who are You, God?" You might not get any concrete answers from this meditation, but it may leave you with even more beautiful questions.

Today we speak with Danny Prada, pastor of Heartway Church in South Florida. Danny is a bit unorthodox, but here at Methods, we like that. Danny and I speak briefly about the dynamic nature of faith, and transformation through contemplative practices.

37 min - Episode 19: Relaxing Breath (4-7-8)This episode we'll do another secular technique, based on the work of Dr. Andrew Weil, a world-renowned leader and pioneer in the field of integrative medicine, a healing-oriented approach to health care which encompasses body, mind, and spirit. The 4-7-8 technique, known also as Relaxing Breath, is a way to release tension and reduce stress levels in your day to day, and can be done anywhere at anytime. Use it to help yourself fall asleep, to prepare, or decompress from your workday, or when you notice yourself getting agitated or upset. If you get lightheaded at any point in this method, do not be afraid to take a break and breathe normally for a while.https://linktr.ee/methodspodcastwww.methodspodcast.comwww.patreon.com/methodswww.instagram.com/methodspodcastwww.facebook.com/methodsthepodcastwww.drweil.com7 min
- Episode 18: Breath and EmpathyFor today's method, we have our friend Michael Scott Evans from the Empathy& Podcast take us through a meditation centered around the breath and empathy, the power of feeling with another. The religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and many others often tout the virtue of compassion as the pinnacle of all spiritual effort. Once we can see no separation between ourselves and our neighbor, we can truly love them as ourself, because they are."Those who possess this wisdom have equal regard for all. They see the same Self in a spiritual aspirant and an outcast, in an elephant, a cow, and a dog. Such people have mastered life. With even mind they rest in Brahman, who is perfect and is everywhere the same."-Krishna (Bhagavad Gita)Find more from Michael Scott Evans at the link below:www.empathyand.comwww.methodspodcast.comlinktr.ee/methodspodcast10 min
- Being-With: Michael Evans of Empathy& Podcast
Today we're trying something a little different. I sat down with my friend Michael Scott Evans of the Empathy& Podcast and community to chat about meditation and its power to connect us with others. Michael is a Texan by way of California with degrees in psychology and communication, as well as a Master's of Divinity in Theology from George W. Truett Seminary. In this interview, Michael talks to us about the ubiquitous superpower of empathy: what it is, what it does, and how to harness it. These interview episodes will be further called "Being-With" as a reference to the work of continental philosopher Martin Heidegger.

33 min - Episode 17: Non-Religious TechniquesThis episode we'll take a look at a secular technique. That's right, no religious or spiritual affiliation needed. Just a way to ground and center yourself without all the God-talk. While helpful for some, it can be a pretty big stumbling block for others. Especially if you have baggage with the church, organized religion in general, or if you're just sensitive to "woo". We get it. There's a ton of people out there selling snake oil to solve all of your problems, which is why we offer these meditations for free. And while meditation can have cognitive and psychological benefits for our wellbeing, it's not a panacea. But if you remain open, and maintain consistency, it can very slowly make us more human.https://www.methodspodcast.comhttps://www.patreon.com/methodshttps://www.instagram.com/methodspodcasthttps://www.facebook.com/methodsthepodcast11 min
- Episode 16: ConspireToday we explore a contemporary Method of prayer called Conspire, rooted in the Christian Mystical tradition. Not to be confused with the Conspiring Prayer of Mark Karris, Conspire is based on the Latin root "conspirare" which means breathing-with or with-breath. We'll throw it all the way back to the book of Genesis for this one, then give you some tips on creating a sacred space of your own. As with all Methods episodes, we encourage the use of headphones, not only to minimize outside distractions, but also to take advantage of the binaural beats we place within the meditations.Please rate and review us on iTunes!Follow us on social media @methodspodcast or at www.methodspodcast.comIf you'd like bonus content, or just want to support the podcast, give as little as $1 a month at www.patreon.com/methodsArt by: @mmmkaycreativePhotography by: @slightlyhungryartist17 min
