Coach BK and fellow rockstar Coral Owens chats about what the Braving Karma is all about.  

INSPIRE

ENCOURAGE

Being Brave

 

Braving Karma means that we are brave enough to look into the mirror, see what is working well for us and strengthen that as well as identify what isn't working for us, what is holding us back and is an obstacle, and working to resolve that.  It also touches on being brave enough to work hard, not let fear and risk stop action. AND not be afraid to fall, ask for help and allow others to help us.

Working Well

Dad (Neil, 49) and daughter (Martha, 11, but 10 when we started!) talk family, feelings and dead fish. Dad wanted to put football as the last f but clearly he's not in charge. What do a middle-aged man and a pre-teen girl have in common, how are they feeling about school, work and life, and most importantly will mum or Billie Eilish be our next guest? One thing is for sure, we've got an interesting few years ahead of us, so join us on our journey! On a serious level, this is an experiment in boosting a child's self-confidence, working through feelings and navigating the modern world, seen from two very different perspectives.  Our targets are: 1 - make Mum smile on her commute...at least once a week 2 - boost Martha's self-confidence as she approaches High School 3 - allow Martha to get experience in her (current) dream career as a radio DJ 4 - get Billie Eilish to appear as a guest.  Simple, right?

A lot of the material that we dealing with is, frankly, hard to read. We, as teens, have an unfiltered access to a lot of news around us. Most of it being stressing out or traumatizing. Hence, in this week's podcast we're going to talk about our reactions towards them in the most contrasting and hilarious way. We want to challenge perspectives, and leave our audience feeling refreshed, inspired, and with a little more knowledge about all the talks.

All The Talks

This is a safe space for anybody who needs it, showing what inner strength is, and showing you how life can get really bad, but there’s always a way to overcome it, so don’t feel alone.

„Mit offenem Visier für Depressionshilfe!“ heißt das Motto. Wir organisieren Motorraddemonstrationen für Depressionshilfe und Mentale Gesundheit. In diesem Jahr wird es in 14 Städten Fellows Rides geben.

Aufmerksamkeit schaffen für den Abbau von Vorurteilen und Stigmatisierung, für angemessene Betreuung – und für die klare Anerkennung seelischer Grundbedürfnisse in unserer Gesellschaft. Presse- und Medienarbeit, über Social Media - Kanäle und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit.


„Macht doch mal einen Podcast!“ – hat man uns oft empfohlen. O.k. wir machen einen Podcast. Mit Gästen aus der Motorradszene über das Motorradfahren und mentale Gesundheit. Wir hatten einen Wunschkandidaten für die erste Folge, Ted Simon, Godfather of motorcycle travellings. Bestsellerautor von Jupiters Reisen. Dank Eva Strehler, die seine Autobiografie ins Deutsche übersetzt, bekommen wir Kontakt und Ted sagt spontan zu. Wow! Die erste Podcastfolge mit Ted ist im Kasten. 


Als nächsten Gast wünschten wir uns Charley Boorman. Charley kennt der Motorradfernreisende aus den erfolgreichen Serien, „Long way round, down, up.“ Charley sagt sofort zu. Wow! Das fängt ja gut an. 


Die Gespräche werden in einer lockeren digitalen Runde via Zoom geführt. Es geht ums Reisen, ums Abenteuer, um Stress- und gefahrensituationen, um die Veränderungen in der Motorrad-Reisewelt und um mentale Gesundheit.



Wie mit all unseren Aktivitäten wollen wir mit sympathischen und interessanten Gästen, die Motorradcommunity und die breite Öffentlichkeit erreichen.

The Ezekiel Project draws inspiration from Ezekiel 37:1-14, where Ezekiel is commanded to prophesy over dry bones and bring them back to life. Our mission here is to revive those ”dry bones,” invigorating men and encouraging them to take their rightful place as leaders within their households. We aim to highlight women’s vital role in the family structure by supporting and standing beside their partners.

In addition, we will discuss various biblical topics that may cause confusion or hesitation in building a relationship with Christ. We might also host a Bible study from time to time. Don’t worry; I’m not one of those theologians who complicate things to the point of confusion. I’m just a regular person who grew up in the San Gabriel Valley, California, and I prefer to keep things straightforward and relatable.

So come, let’s talk, share, and grow together. The Ezekiel Project is your home.

Sleep is a fundamental aspect of our daily lives, serving as a crucial period for rest, rejuvenation, and growth. While the importance of sleep is widely acknowledged, the intricacies of the sleep cycle, particularly the fascinating stage known as Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, are often less understood. This article aims to delve into the world of REM sleep, exploring its characteristics, functions, and the captivating realm of dreams that accompany this stage. 
What is REM Sleep? REM sleep is a distinct phase of the sleep cycle, characterized by a number of unique physiological and neurological features. The term "Rapid Eye Movement" refers to the rapid, random movement of the eyes beneath closed eyelids during this stage. REM sleep typically occurs in cycles throughout the night, with each cycle lasting approximately 90-120 minutes in adults. 
During REM sleep, the brain exhibits high levels of activity, similar to those observed during wakefulness. This increased brain activity is associated with vivid dreams, which are a hallmark of the REM stage. Simultaneously, the body experiences a state of temporary paralysis, known as REM atonia, which prevents physical movement during dreams. 
The REM stage is part of the overall sleep cycle, which consists of four distinct stages. The first three stages are collectively known as non-REM (NREM) sleep, and they progress from light sleep to deep, slow-wave sleep. REM sleep follows the NREM stages and is characterized by a significant shift in brain activity and physiological functions. 
The Characteristics of REM Sleep To fully understand the unique nature of REM sleep, it is essential to examine its key characteristics. These include: 
1. Rapid Eye Movement: As the name suggests, during REM sleep, the eyes move rapidly beneath closed eyelids. These movements are seemingly random and can be observed using specialized sleep monitoring equipment. 
2. Brain Activity: During REM sleep, the brain exhibits high levels of activity, resembling those seen during wakefulness. This increased activity is particularly evident in the regions associated with learning, memory, and emotion processing. 
3. Vivid Dreams: REM sleep is the stage most closely associated with vivid, storylike dreams. The increased brain activity during this stage is thought to contribute to the generation and experience of these dreams. 
4. Muscle Atonia: To prevent physical movement during dreams, the body experiences a temporary state of paralysis known as REM atonia. This atonia affects most of the body's voluntary muscles, with the exception of those controlling eye movement and breathing. 
5. Physiological Changes: During REM sleep, various physiological changes occur, including increased heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. These changes are thought to be related to the high levels of brain activity and the experience of dreams. 
The Functions of REM Sleep While the exact functions of REM sleep are still a topic of ongoing
