    Effect on Emotions
    • I think emotions are something that most folks are afraid of.
  • When I was younger, going through a lot of trauma, we were taught to hide our emotions, to stuff our emotions, to suppress our emotions, to the point where we were numb.
  • I had to learn and relearn how to feel my emotions and differentiate between sadness and anger, to have the allowance, to feel those emotions deeply, and to allow them to have a voice and to express them in a healthy way.
  • Emotions are our compass to let us know where we are in life and whether we need to course-correct. They're actually our body and soul's way of getting in touch with us
  • Thoughts on Breathing
    • Breathing is such a wonderful, transformational tool. It really helps us to get connected to our breath. It's free.
  • Most of us do not breathe properly. We breathe up here, like very shallow. We do not do belly breath and the belly breath is just so relaxing.
  • Watch a baby breathe, they make nice, deep breaths, and it's a way to calm your emotions and it's also very healing.
  • So if we have any blocks or any trauma stuck in our bodies, even from previous lifetimes, it really helps to relieve and to free ourselves from those blocks and in our energy field so that we can really live in the present moment and be who we really are, which is why we're here.

    Bullying Story
    • When I was eight years old, I came here from Italy and I didn't know the language.
  • I went to Catholic school and as children are, I was made fun of,  teased, and, laughed at because I didn't understand the language. It was very difficult for me to express myself.
  • I just remember crying one day, we were having a test, and some, I don't even know who it was took my pencils, and I couldn't communicate. I just sat there and just cried. The nun was like, where are your pencils, and I couldn't even articulate that I had them, but somebody took it, and I couldn't even say that, and I would just go home crying.
  • Being a mother of two, I watched my children being bullied on the bus, being bullied at school. They used to knock my son's books on the floor, and you would have to pick them up.
  • As a parent, you just want to protect your child, you don't want them to ever go through that.
  • To me, bullying is power over somebody so that you feel better and I think that's just children's way of empowering themselves.
  • The book, Once Upon A thought is a children's book. It's like, if everyone knew who they really were, then you wouldn't have to ever bully anyone. Because you know that you are special, you know that you are unique. Once Upon A Thought
  • There is nobody like me, and there's no one like you and there's no one like them. It's not necessary to bully to get that power from somebody else, because you have that power within you. Once Upon A Thought
  • I think teaching children breathwork and just how important and special they are, and giving them that presence, that attention, and that love they desire from their parents is just so important hopefully the bullying will stop. Once Upon A Thought

  • Dad, Father, A Treasured Honor

    Dad, Father, A Treasured Honor is my topic for today, since it is Father's Day here in Canada. I have put together 7 suggestions that can help you on your quest to being a good father. As a father, I have given a lot of thought and effort into being as good a father as possible. I'm grateful to have a son who shows strong traits of mindfulness, respect, consideration, and generosity. My father was also a man who gave me space and wise advice when I asked for it.

    Listen & Subscribe on:

    iTunes / Stitcher / Podbean / Overcast / Spotify

    Here are 7 tips that will help you be a good father:

    1/ Listen

    Being a good father is about being a good listener. This is something I constantly work on with my son and also with people I teach and work with. Listen to the feedback that people provide you. It is often hidden or disguised, but if you are open to hear it, you will begin to notice.

    2/ Be A Good Role-model

    Live your best life and remember to walk the walk and talk the talk. If you're going to do a certain thing in your life or behave in a certain way, then make sure that you're okay with your child doing that same thing. They are watching you and are aware of what you do. If you do something and you are giving the impression that you're okay with this particular action, then that speaks way louder than words.

    3/ Emotions

    Many people push emotions aside, including me. There have been times in my life when I was not willing or able to face my emotions. Be aware of your emotions, and don’t be afraid to share them. Once you're aware of your own emotions, then you can handle them in a more healthy way. You can decide to embrace them, share them, or keep them to yourself. The following can help you manage your emotions: meditation, self-hypnosis, running, swimming, or being out in nature.

    4/ Give Space

    It is important to give space to our children so they can learn and grow in a natural way. This is one thing that my father was very good at; he gave me space to grow. He was not one of those people who smothered their children, rather he gave me space to learn and grow on my own. It takes courage and discipline to step back and give your child space but I highly recommend it.

    5/ Be Open and Flexible

    As much as you can, be open and flexible with your children. As parents, we have our own ideas about how things should be and sometimes we can be too controlling. Guide your children in what they do and at the same time, be as open and flexible as you possibly can. As you become more open, I believe you will begin to feel the honor of being a father, and therefore you'll understand the reason I entitled this episode, Dad, Father, A Treasured Honor.

    6/ Give Advice When Asked

    If you follow the above suggestions, your child will be more likely to ask you for advice. Take the time to advise in a thoughtful way, using stories and examples to help explain your points.

    7/ Be Consistent and Grounded

    If you practice mindfulness, you are most likely a consistent and grounded person. I'm extremely proud of being the father of my son, Ben. I learn a tremendous amount from him due to the fact that he is a mindful and wise person. My father passed away in 2019 and I'm grateful to have had him as my father because he gave me space to learn and grow. He also gave me wise advice at various time, including advice to date my wife before we went out for the first time. I've been married to her for over twenty years now, so I’m grateful for the advice given to me by my dad.

    Effect on Emotions
    • When I was younger, and when I was really in survival mode, when emotions came up, I acted on impulse. Oftentimes, I acted out against myself, I would drink too much or I would just do something reckless.
  • Over the years, I've learned that emotions are information. Emotions are literally energy in motion and when you allow that emotion to move through you, and you allow yourself to be aware of it, you can watch what happens without judgment without judging yourself for Why am I feeling angry? Or why am I feeling sad? Or why am I getting so upset about this, and you recognize it as a process that has to happen.
  • You allow it to happen, which means the energy doesn't build up in your body as something harmful. At the same time, you're getting that message when you're open to observing that emotion, you can actually start to understand what is this telling me about the situation that I'm in? You Attract What You Are.
  • Thoughts on Breathing
    • Breathing is one of those things that if we don't pay attention to, can really mess with.
  • It can kind of be the catalyst for us to feel anxious.
  • So if we're going about our day, and we're just so caught up in everything that we're doing, and we're externally focused, our breathing starts to get really shallow. That can actually be a biological signal to our bodies, that we're in anxiety mode, and that will trigger a panic attack.
  • However, if you pay attention to your breathing, and you allow yourself to breathe fully into your chest into your belly and let the breath go throughout your body, you will actually subdue those biochemical processes that you don't want to happen. Like an anxiety attack. You Attract What You Are.

  • Bullying Story
    • When I was in fourth grade, I changed schools. Because I was being bullied at my old school. You Attract What You Are.
  • There's this daughter of a teacher there, for some reason, I just totally rubbed her the wrong way. So she came after me. And because her mom was a teacher, I ended up having to leave the school. You Attract What You Are.
  • When I went to my new school, I became a bully. I was so angry and lonely. I didn't know anybody.  I've always been tall. So I was taller than a lot of the boys. And I guess I was strong. I was like a scrawny kid. But I guess I was physically strong. And so I would assert my strength.
  • Looking back on it, I was trying to demonstrate, “don't mess with me”. But yeah, I can protect myself and I remember there was one boy in particular, who I would pick on, and we're actually really good friends until today. But I would grab his backpack and swing him around.
  • I had a teacher who called me into the classroom one day, and she goes, You are a bully.  I got so angry at that because I don't like bullies. And I was like, I'm not a bully. And she pointed out what I was doing.
  • Of course, I was in fourth grade. So I didn't fully have the cognitive capacity to realize this on my own. But I was so grateful for her pointing that out.
  • As a result, I was able to stop that pattern of behavior by her being that source of awareness and mindfulness for me, in a way. Once I realized what I was doing, I was no longer that person, I was no longer that bully, and I stopped lashing out at other kids. You Attract What You Are.

    Effect on Emotions
    • So when I get upset, I ask myself, Why are you upset? What is triggering me? What's hurting me?
  • In conclusion, I try to delve into that subconscious a little bit more and see what's brought up in me that is making me react the way I'm reacting.
  • Therefore, every time I get upset that way and also the joyful moments, I think I blow them up even bigger than they already are.
  • Similarly, I see them as such precious jewels, I make them louder in my life than the hard times in the struggles. So
  • Thoughts on Breathing
    • Breathing is very important.
  • Yoga taught me how to breathe properly, it brings you into your body.
  • So it is very important to be grounded in your body for the fight/flight and for anxiety, to bring yourself back to the present moment and nurture yourself.

  • Effect on Emotions
    • When I need to relax, calm down and become in a mindful mode, I'll sit at the piano. That's my mechanism.
  • Some people will go to their quiet place and close their eyes and say their mantras or whatever they do. I sit at the piano.
  • Sometimes I don't even play at attuning. I'll just play a chord on the piano.
  • I love my Steinway grand piano. I'll just play a chord on that grand piano, it will sound for about a minute before the sound completely dies away.
  • There's something about paying attention and trying to say, Do I still hear that zone? Do you hear it fade away? and as you're doing that, It does something to you to center you and help you focus. That's how we have music for mindfulness.
  • Thoughts on Breathing
    • I've read a lot about the power of slowly exhaling.
  • You can just slowly breathe out that will help. It'll bring your heart rate down and help bring your blood pressure down.
  • A lot of us these days have our Apple watches and it has a breathing function on their way. It will guide you as you inhale, and exhale in a very slow rhythm (music for mindfulness).
  • Insight To Your Creativity?
    • I am a Christian, and I have a deep faith in Jesus Christ. And I believe that this song was given to me.
  •  I can still remember sitting down at that piano that evening in January of 1981. It was strange while playing this song. As a musician, you can sit down and you'll play whatever song that you want to play but commonly it's something written by somebody else.
  • I just set and I played, and the song never changed. I didn't have to work at it. I just played it.
  • It had to have been an inspired gift to me because I did not work at it. It was as if it had always existed. And I was just blessed to be the first person to actually play it.

  • An Overactive Mind Achieving Balance; Daniel Hess

    Daniel Hess is a Writer/Filmmaker born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. After losing his best friend/cousin to Cystic Fibrosis when he was 10, Daniel began his first foray into writing and poetry. As he grew up and at the behest of his close friend in high school, Daniel pursued filmmaking in college. After graduating from Towson University in 2012, he fell into life quickly, but thanks to a few mentors could find a footing in corporate/event videography. While this became a place of steady income, it was something that kept creativity far out of reach. At age 28, after receiving word that he would soon need heart surgery, a new spark for letting a creative voice be heard emerged again. Over the course of the last three years, Daniel stepped away from the event videography space, committing his company, To Tony Productions, to only producing original short and feature film productions. In January 2021, Daniel self-published his first book, a collection of poetry entitled Just a Boy Blaming Himself. In January 2022, Daniel underwent successful open-heart surgery and on June 6th, 2022 will be releasing his first novel, Focus Puller. He is also currently producing several feature films as well.

    Effect on Emotions
    • I used to be more like things would push me to an angry place, way easier when I was younger but thinking through, stopping, and pausing has just made a world of difference with all of that. Especially when you think that life is short and obstacles happen.
  • We just need to push forward and balance everything. So mindfulness has been just a huge help with that in my life.
  • Thoughts on Breathing
    • Certainly, when I'm doing events where everything is very fast-paced, just taking that moment to step somewhere where it's a little calmer, and just taking a couple of deep breaths to balance everything makes such a world of difference for me.
  • I'm able to say, this is a little overwhelming. But step by step, we can make it through, and just that little 30 seconds of pause helps me to just balance, center, and kind of keep moving forward with everything, no matter how challenging it can be.

    • I can remember in middle school and early high school, there was one kid in particular, who would always just say very nasty things and try to get under my skin.
  • The thing for me was trying to understand why this person was acting the way they were. And inevitably, what resolved the issue was going to the school like a therapist person, that bully and me, just sitting down and talking.
  • What ended up being realized was that the two of us weren't really all that different. It was just he had some insecurities or things that he was working through.
  • And inevitably, we actually ended up not becoming super close friends. We were friends by the end of the time at that school.
  • But I think the thing is that, just by engaging in conversation, because I think the attitude in school is like you got to stand up for yourself, and with violence. But I was always of the mindset that it was just like, I think it just needs to be a conversation.

    Effect on Emotions
    • The first thing I do every morning is writing (journaling) about my life for the first 14 to 20 minutes. The way I would like it to be as opposed to how it actually is.
  • It helps me to be mindful emotionally, physically, and spiritually, about where I want to be at any point in time in my life. So that is a thing that I do. I learned that from a child,
  • Thoughts on Breathing
    • So I started practicing learning journaling and meditation some few years ago, taking time to actually hear my breath. This is not something that seems normal.
  • Likewise, I've heard you mention in one of your podcasts about walking. I'll walk and just silence everything. I'll put noise-canceling headphones on and just listen to my breath.

  • Bullying Story
    •  First, I think we live in a society where we're all bullied in different ways, it just matters how you decide to proceed.
  • My son has had situations where he felt bullied by either the professor or bullied by a teammate.
  • Certainly, one of the things we do is just recognize that whatever that is, it's temporary.
  • Oftentimes, what people are saying about you is not so much about you, but it's a reflection of how they feel about themselves.
  • Above all, the most important thing to remember is what it is that you think and feel about yourself. Moreover, I'd say the other thing, is to not give so much time and attention and weight to the negative, unless you're equally willing to give the same amount of time, attention, and weight to the positive.
  • So if you say someone bullies you and you're focusing on the bullying part, what do we do with the people who praise us?
  • However, when people praise us or say really positive things about us, we don't give that the same time and attention as we do to the things that are negative.

  • Environmentalism Is The 21st Century Spirituality; Teza Lord

    teZa Lord believes environmentalism is the 21st century spirituality. She uplifts readers through her books, public speaking and her other various creative expressions. She sees her role in society as balancing the weight of our tendency toward negativity. Her childhood dream was to fly above life’s dangers and this theme is often present in her writing. Her experiences in life have taken her to the place where she is comfortably aligned with Spirit. Her most recent book is entitled, Hybrid Vigor: A True Reveal of Love.

  • Most Influential Person
    • I was a Guru junkie and I worked with many eastern Yogic teachers so I will not say one specific person.
  • The Guru-disciple relationship, which is a spiritual commitment that you make with a teacher is so important in my story. I couldn't have been the person I am today without having surrendered my ego to a teacher.
  • Effect on Emotions
    • Before mindfulness I was a basket case. My emotions have become, what we call in yoga, equipoints.
  • Emotions are important teachers, they show us what we're supposed to do in life.
  • I'm now able to be productive, I'm not a slave of my emotions.
  • When I feel an emotion, now I know that's where I am supposed to go.
  • Thoughts on Breathing
    • Breath is the connection between our unconscious self and our being able to be awake.
  • The more conscious we are of each breath we take, the more awake and aware and mindful we are.
  • If we are never aware of breathing, we are not a very mindful or awakened person.
  • You could be aware of every breath you take and that's a lovely thing instead of having obsessive-compulsive thinking.
  • Breath gives you a kind of steadiness. I use the analogy of saddling onto a horse. The breath is a horse and you ride your breath and it takes you to amazing places deep within your own being.

  • Bullying Story
    • I taught girls who were in prison for various reasons. Most of them were gang girls and addicts who were no longer able to do their partying.
  • There's a lot of bullying in prison. These juvenile detention places need yoga and meditation and they need teachers to come in to show these young people the state of love.
  • Most of these people don't have good role models and many of them had terrible parenting. They are out there on their own and it's just like a ‘dog-eat-dog' world.

  • Mindfulness In Manufacturing; Jason Azevedo

    Jason Azevedo created his first manufacturing company with just $600 when he was only 15 years old. At this young age, he was able to establish business with some of the greatest companies in the world such as Starbucks, Nike, Disney, Marvel, Volkswagen, Audi, Lucas films, dodgers, and NBA teams. By the time he was 20 he was already making millions in revenue.

    Jason is one of the most dynamic people you will meet. He owns and operates the last standing MADE IN AMERICA factories (IN CALIFORNIA NO LESS!) and has hatched a plan to give back the factories and some of his wealth to the American workers.

    In 2009, Jason co-founded Mosaic, taking on the role of CEO — his talents are far beyond running the company, with duties touching on conceptual development, engineering, and deployment. Since 2009, Jason’s been at the helm of growing the company year-over-year, acquiring several entities, and creating several others to round out manufacturing efforts. His emphasis on Made In America is a driving force for how the various companies he’s co-founded operate. He also assists with business development and client strategy and is an integral part of how we operate. He is here today to talk about mindfulness in manufacturing.

  • Most Influential Person
    • One of my business partners has been an absolute inspiration to just kind of step back and think about the situation where we're at. There was a singular event in which he could snap me out of a spiral I was in that completely changed my future.
    Effect on Emotions
    • I've never been a big yeller. But I used to get very, very upset when things weren't right. My brother, and I used to get into large arguments within the organization.  We finally started switching and going. Because every time I'm upset, something happened. I'm the leader.
  • What did I do to cause this, and that changed how our decision-making happened.  We just want to fix what we did.
  • Thoughts on Breathing
    • I also did breathwork for the first time two years ago, an actual breathwork session. It was the biggest game-changer mentally for business I've ever done, it actually changed how I live a chunk of my life.
  • So I live out in the country and one of the most important things to me, I'm going to take a walk and just breathe as deep as I can to just kind of let things move through me.

  • Bullying Story
    • So I'll take about five, six years back, we had a supervisor, and the supervisor effectively got results, that put up some of the best numbers in the company. But it was weird, you walk anywhere in our buildings, and people are smiling, talking joking around, also, you go into their sector, and that wasn't the case.
  • So we started looking into it and understand that while they weren't getting results, they were doing it by surely bullying their employees. It was like if you didn't hit your numbers, you're near a piece of this.
  • We took this person's side and said, Hey, I need you to really think about what you are here. And they're like, Well, what I gotta be forceful on everybody. I gotta do this. Think about what you're doing? And what, what do you mean?
  •  What is this really about? Take the fear away, take what can we do today to fix the problem that and you fall in and out of traps like that on a regular basis.

  • Most Influential Person
    • My father has been a huge mindfulness supporter of mine. That is to say, anytime I do a talk and I struggle with something I can't make two sentences flow or make it make sense. So I don't know where to go, what to do, what to step into. Therefore, my father is a huge influence on me in doing that, keeping me on track and moving me in the right direction.
    Effect on Emotions
    • I feel like I grew up in an era where you didn't speak unless spoken to. That is to say, I'm also a man who thought there was an unwritten rule. “Thou shalt not express emotions to anyone you check that stuff right inside”.
  • So I think just as I've gotten older and understood that invulnerability comes strength, and I've realized that me being able to open up my chest and be able to look at a man like you and say, “Listen! I've got pain, I'm broken. I've been heartbroken. I've got these things that I'm wrestling with and dealing with. I find true strength and vulnerability”. So that's super helpful.
  • Thoughts on Breathing
    • Breathing is extremely important when it comes to anything, whether it's mindfulness or even just being able to make sure that you maintain a conscious thought and conscious behavior.
  • For example, your subconscious brain constitutes 95% of what you think about and that means five or 10 is left.
  • So one of the main ways that you can actually be in touch with who you are, what you are when you are, why you are and your surroundings are to slow your breathing down and be very conscious about your body scanning and being able to close your eyes, take deep breaths and go through a mental checklist.

  • Bullying Story
    •  I have a student that I work with now. So on the spectrum, he has sensory processing issues.  He actually has suffered from bullying all year. To the point where his parents and I are having conversations about him, not returning to school. It's going to be his senior year.
  • Firstly, he would miss the social aspect of what his senior year would look like, he would miss all the interactions, from senior trips, the prom, and all those things.
  • So when I first got started with him, the first thing we put in is a list of what to say, when you talk to yourself is extremely important. We build some affirmations.
  • Then we talk about if you treated yourself like your best friend, would you say any of the things that you say to yourself repeatedly, for instance, I'm dumb, I'm stupid, I can't get this, I'm never gonna amount to this.
  • Certainly, you don't let your best friend talk to himself or herself like that. So why would you talk to yourself like that?
  • Therefore, we did a mindset shift and transform this into how to become a great thinker, some of the commonalities behind being a great thinker? Let's get obsessed with observing the masses and doing the opposite.
  • As a result, we asked him if it was okay to make a decision. Do you want to complete your senior year online? Study to get your GED so we can get you out in the workforce sooner? Or do you want to go back to high school?
  • Lastly, he looked at me dead in my face. And he said I'm going back to high school.
