Clayten Stedmann and Jeffrey Stegmann are experts in the creation of high consciousness fields and the founders of Focused Life Force Energy.
Have you ever entered a room that exudes positive vibes, where you feel welcome, supported, and good – for no apparent reason? Conversely, have you been in a space that is rife with negative energy, which feels dark and oppressive? These energies are not happenstance. The “feel” of a space is actually a subtle - and very real - energy field.
Clayten and Jeffrey have created technology that remotely enhances the life force energy (also called Prana, Chi, and Mana) of a given space. This technology creates and energetic sanctuary in a home, office, or even mobile environment, and will manifest positive results. Beneficiaries will notice increased energy, support, enhanced focus and creativity, and improved long-term health, among other positive results.

Welcome to episode 145 of the Therapy Chat Podcast with host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C. This week Laura re-visits her interview with Deirdre Fay, MSW, LICSW, who integrates trauma and attachment theory with yoga and meditation in embodiment. She is also the founder of the Becoming Safely Embodied Skills and maintains a private practice in Arlington, MA.
The work she does arises out of her life. What she knows is grounded in her own healing as well as rigorous training as a psychotherapist looking for answers and ways to help others navigate the often-difficult terrain of healing trauma and attachment wounds.
Deirdre knows what it’s like to make that journey. She did it dealing with her own history of trauma and as she searched for answers to relational and attachment issues. During the course of her life, she was lucky to have lived for six years in a spiritual community [Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health] which surrounded her with a nurturing environment. That experience grounded Deirdre in her commitment to finding ways to help other people.
The Becoming Safely Embodied Skills were born during those years and came to fruition as she worked with trauma survivors in Boston both in her private practice and in hospital settings. She wanted to develop easy to apply take home skills that people could use when they weren’t in therapy.

Physician, author and brain expert Dr. Joanny Liu discusses the pre-existing emotional conditions that often precede physical head injuries.
Dr. Liu shares her theory of the correlation between emotional difficulties and physical injuries. She explains her research into the connection between the energetic meridians of Chinese medicine and injury and disease, and that our thoughts determine the health of our brains and bodies.
Patients are healing fast in Dr. Liu's practice because she helps with thought patterns that rewire brains so they feel safe inside their bodies and lives. Dr. Lui speaks in detail about the chemical effects of stress on the brain and the results of our conscious thoughts on the physical size of the brain.

Live mindfully from the heart. In this episode of Inspired Evolution, we are inspired by Gelong Thubten. Thubten became a Buddhist monk 25 years ago at Kagyu Samye Ling in Scotland, Europe’s oldest and largest Buddhist monastery. He has spent over six years in intensive meditation retreats, the longest of which was 4 years in seclusion on a Scottish island. Thubten specializes in teaching mindfulness meditation internationally, in businesses, hospitals, schools, universities, prisons, and addiction counseling centers. He works with major clients such as Google, LinkedIn, Lloyds Bank, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Siemens, Accenture, the NHS, Clifford Chance and Linklaters, and lectures at Facebook.
He does not get paid, all funds go to charity, for building meditation training centers to benefit many people. Thubten was the meditation consultant on the set of Marvel’s latest movie, Dr. Strange, where he trained Benedict Cumberbatch and Tilda Swinton in meditation techniques while they were filming. He has lectured on Buddhism and meditation at the universities of Oxford, Helsinki, and Cardiff, as well as for Mindvalley. He teaches in several schools and is often interviewed by the world’s media. He designs and delivers mindfulness programmes for 4th-year medical students at the National University of Ireland, and he has lectured at Parliament on the Channel Islands. He has co-authored a book on mindfulness with Ruby Wax and a neuroscientist: How To Be Human. He runs meditation centers throughout the U.K.
Gelong Thubten is a celebrated global expert on Mindfulness & Tibetan Meditation. In the episode of the Inspired Evolution, we explore Thubten’s journey to meditation. This is an especially surprising story as growing up he wasn’t really interested in meditation. In fact, he recounts that in his late teens he was actually quite wild, living the party lifestyle as an actor living in New-York. Burning the candle at both ends as he put it.
Unfortunately, his stressful lifestyle eventuated to a situation where he ended up quite ill for 6 months. It was during this time of illness that he started reading about meditation and the power of the mind. A friend of his recommended the Kagyu Samye Ling monastery in Scotland to deepen his meditation exploration for a short 12-month experience.
He was at Kagyu Samye Ling only 3 days before he become ordained as a monk. The commitment was initially for a full 12-months. However, as it would turn out, once he was there for 9 months he decided to commit to staying for longer. In his second year, he did his first 9-month isolated retreat. It was here that he decided to commit to monk-hood. A powerful decision yet an obvious one: to best serve himself and humanity. His decision being powered by the desire to live outside of his ego, which he identified as being unhealthy. Driven by compassion, he ended up taking life-vows committing to monk-hood and this way of life, for life. He joyfully remarks that his friends at this point though he’d lost the plot and that he was lucky that his family supported his decision. He’s now been a monk for over 25 years since he was 21 years old, on a life-long journey now towards perpetual growth and learning.
In this conversation, we talk about keeping mindfulness “now”, updated and modern. Specifically, how Thubten keeps mindfulness relevant for the 21st century and today’s society. How his unique approach blends ancient wisdom with modern challenges. Both Thubten and I are thrilled that neuroscience now complements ancient wisdom.
Thubten describes his passions to help people, not from a place of wanting to spread Buddhist philosophy, but to simply help people meditate and transform their minds. He started by supporting local prisons 25 years ago with mindfulness and meditation programs. Introducing mindfulness in a very pragmatic and needed situation.
He reflects on his own experience, traveling the world delivering talks, being on his phone and computer like the rest of society and how he’s living the fast-paced life with the rest of society so that his message remains relevant but also demonstrates how mindfulness can keep you calm, focused, stress-free and happy.
For Thubten, the exploration of human consciousness should remain relatable. We discuss the Mindy-Body connection and the intention and power behind isolation retreats: clearing outdated physical and mental patterns. No stranger to isolation, his longest isolation retreat experience lasted 4-years. Thubten describes how retreats are often misunderstood as leisurely. However, intensive work on the mind is actually undertaken to evolve your thoughts and emotions – the mission being to ultimately being less controlled by your thoughts and emotions. He reflects that this mission is a deep detox, one where he finds himself digesting his history and memories. An experience that he recounts is like brain surgery and ultimately both healing and transformative.
This conversation then deeply explores the theme and challenges of forgiveness and letting go. Thubten remarks that with the stresses of current society forgive is a hot topic and he shares his consultative approaches to forgiveness. Wisely, in this conversation, he eloquently describes how the process of forgiving others is the same as forgiving ourselves. He also remarks that on an international level as we’re increasingly more connected and there’s always dreadful news shared via mainstream media, it can be challenging to let go of transgressions and embrace forgiveness. He reminds us that it is consistently in our best interests to forgive in order to let go of the burden of toxic-rage and anger.
His first most important tip for Forgiveness is to stay Present. Not to deny your past or ignore it, your more present and connected to the present than the past. He poetically describes that all the cells in your body have transformed since 20 years ago, but somehow our memories continue to thrive and are connected to our consciousness which then calls us into the remembering the past – this mental phenomenon of attachment to a continuum that we are lead to believe is our Self. All our stories of Self are reinforced by our memories of the past. However, he asks us to imagine what its like to arrive fresh in every moment without the stories and the baggage of the past. Hence Gelong’s invitation to stay present as a powerful tool towards letting go and enabling forgiveness.
His second important tip for Forgiveness is to approach situations with greater Mindfulness (a more holistic/all-encompassing perspective). In this way, we can work on ‘forgiveness’ by actually thinking of the people or instances with more information and better understand, logically, the situation at hand (allowing us to subsequently free ourselves from being the victim of the situation).
A mindful perspective arriving when we surrender our ego and realize such global thoughts patterns such as “hurt people hurt people”. Implying that we are only inflicted upon by people because of their own sadness, anger, and ego. People act out of their own inner impulses and negativities, rarely, if-ever is they out to get another person, people merely end up in each other's way perhaps more due to circumstance than anything else.
Gelong invites us to reflect on when we’ve hurt people in our life and how we’ve never intended to actually hurt anyone. But only really end up hurting people as a reaction to our own own stresses, lack of mindfulness, anger, jealousy, etc. In fact, after we’ve acted out in this way, we ourselves feel that we wish we would have behaved better and that’s often the same case for our perpetrators… Extending our perspective and inviting greater mindfulness can, therefore, support us with forgiveness and letting go.
Whilst he’s definitely not advocating becoming a human door-mat, Thubten’s invitation is to accept the human condition. Softening the edges of the blame.
This conversation is then directed towards Compassion. Compassion is the center of mindfulness training. Mindfulness is not just about stress reduction and increasing focus and performance, although these are very desirable and natural side-effects. Compassion is about becoming more kind and loving to one’s Self and others.
Thubten invites us to reflect on “what is the definition of compassion?”
Especially because often compassion is confused with empathy. We may feel what other people are feeling and end up drowning in that same feeling too. However, this empathetic approach, Thubten illuminates is not the path of compassion.
Compassion is the meditation and work of freeing others from their suffering. Building that network in your brain and taking intentional action. Empathy, on the other hand, is feeling bad when someone feeling bad.
Compassion is like learning to swim, he remarks, so when someone is drowning – you may be able to support them – like a lifeguard. Empathy is synonymous with drowning with the other person – Thubten questions the good in this.
Fascinating research into the neuroscience of empathy vs. compassion has been conducted by Tanya Singer. Who explores the human brain when experiencing empathy and compassion.
Being empathetic can be very draining. Empathetic fatigue and burnout are common to those in the health sciences and healing professions. Empathy can motivate to a limited extent, however, the stress over the time of continually having to empathize fatigues and leaves people drained.
Hence, Thubten advocates compassion-based meditation practice. He calls it Unconditional Compassion with No Limits. He inspires us to reduce self-interest and open up the heart and developing the sense of Expanded Compassion that becomes more about ‘Who We Are’ rather than simply a process of feeling what comes and goes.
This process admittedly involves quite a deep process of dissolving one’s identity of and attachment to self. In fact, it is a radical process, rooted in ancient wisdom, which Thubten shares in this conversation.
Thubten admits that compassion challenges the ego and neurologically challenges our sense of self-preservation. He remarks that our minds falsely believe that if we're too kind to others and don’t uphold our boundaries – we fear that may lose some part of our self.
The fear is that if we’re totally in service we will dissolve. Cease to exist. “What about me?” asks the ego. This is a very understandable thing. But a powerful question that Thubten likes to ask is “When I come from a place of ego, does anyone really benefit?”
He remarks that the selfish side of a human is rather insatiable and that the ego is very rarely happy. Neither is the Self often happy and others are also not happy because of this insatiably demanding entity.
Thubten gives us the metaphor that being enslaved to your ego is like being enslaved to a boss that’s never happy with your work. It’s never good enough. Your ego want’s more. And it is commonplace that it is this entity that we describe as the Self.
In Buddhist philosophy the Self doesn’t even exist, its simply an illusion, Thubten joyfully remarks that Buddhist believe that we’re all interlinked and we’re all dependant on each other for existence. So let’s all help each other. Training in compassion benefits one’s self and others. It’s a win-win. And it feels the same as when we give someone a gift – so good.
This conversation then discusses the power of “Service”. Service, Thubten remarks is about living from a place of Love. He understands the fear that people have of living from a place of sacrifice, however, he remarks that you end up living a life that feels really good as your life benefits others and yourself. It’s a win-win situation.
Thubten invites us to continually live from the heart, with Love and Compassion. Modern approaches to mindfulness (and focussing on the breath) run the risk of not going deep enough (beyond scratching the surface with stress-management and achieving clarity/performance benefits). Mindfulness can really lead to greater happiness and an increased sense of purpose if you embrace it.
A simple way to implement greater compassion and love into your existing practice is simply by setting the intention to dedicate your practice (whether its meditation, music, yoga or anything similar) “to benefit yourself and others”. You can start and end your activities with this intention. So that you are directing the practice towards compassion training and cultivating greater selflessness.
Lastly, we explore what continues to inspire Thubten in carrying the potent wisdom of meditation and mindfulness across the globe. Thubten shares that he’s fuelled by the sense of a journey – of spiritual growth. Long-term spiritual development. He also has a deep sense of commitment to his vows. And is committed to others. A monk in his opinion is someone who as let go of self-interest in the service of others. He finds this way of life, serving others incredibly enriching.
He is inspired to introduce mindfulness to situations where you wouldn’t normally experience it, such as the work of the Inspired Evolution delivering Mindfulness to the Construction Industry. Thubten enjoys spreading mindfulness to places that spiritual practice is less expected such as prisons, movie sets, corporate environments, etc. Ultimately aiming, like the Inspired Evolution, to bring mindfulness to every situation. The feedback from those that have their lives enriched by mindfulness is incredibly rewarding.
The collective is awakening. Mindfulness practice is now mainstream, accepted in governments, education institutions and beyond. Thubten has been wearing his monk’s robes for over 25 years. He reflects on how many years ago he was seen somewhat as a freak, while now-a-days the attitude has completely changed. People now walk right up to him asking for help with meditation.
He believes that as the stress around the world is becoming increasingly more pronounced and diverse, the solution – meditation and mindfulness is also becoming ever more apparent, accessible and widespread.
This conversation is about peace and contentment. Gelong Thubten reminds us that everything is a choice. Especially how to feel. We can choose how we want to feel. We can choose differently about how to feel about our reality. Mindfulness activates the possibility to respond differently to our situations and circumstances. To have the ability to choose a response over a reaction is an incredibly profound aspect of meditation in my humble opinion.
We discuss the importance of mindfulness and meditation and all the ways that Gelong Thubten is actively promoting this work. Introducing his new Samten App (Meditation and Mindfulness Journey in an app). Resulting in the widespread promotion of meditation and mindfulness across the planet.
This conversation is one for the heart. It calls on us to live our most purposeful life, by being compassionate and living beyond our ideas of Self. Thubten’s story invites us to transform and cultivate a positive relationship with ourselves. In this conversation, we explore Gelong Thubten’s wisdom, habits, hacks, philosophies, and tools that have formed the threads of his success, happiness, health, and wealth. This is a story that reminds us that we are all here to live peacefully and content. Thubten inspires a life of healing, transformation, and growth. Life is a gift and it is up to us to honour it as best we can with our positive virtues greater than our self.

(Please listen to the podcast episode or read the transcript to hear explanations, stories and examples.)
7 WAYS MINDFULNESS BENEFITS YOU AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP.4. Increased Self-Awareness
As we develop skill in mindfulness, the anterior cingulate cortex in our brain changes. This area is associated with impulse control, attention, emotion, as well with our sense of self. Mindfulness helps us control the impulse to act out in destructive and manipulative ways, as well as redirect our attention towards our higher intentions, goals, and values. With more self-awareness, we can observe our emotions and behaviors and recognize when we are going down a path of doing and saying things from a hurt place. With self-awareness, we can recalibrate when we have gotten off track.5. Clearer Communication
“Communication issues” are a frequent complaint couples have when seeking help. Most often it is not about needing better communication, but it is about developing the awareness and understanding of what is going on underneath that is important. Typically, we will attack, blame, turn away or protest in the hopes that our partner will recognize our hurt and offer reassurance, love, and support. But often this does not work. However, if we have clear insight into our vulnerability and pain, we are in a much better position to communicate clearly with our partner. In this case, they are much more likely to be able to understand, empathize and want to help.How Mindfulness Techniques Can Help Your Relationship, By Erica Turner
With mindfulness, we can develop the ability to be more clear and direct with our communication. We can be more tactful and kind, as we assist our partner in meeting us.
“One of the biggest benefits of mindfulness is its ability to help us slow down intense emotional processes. Often, when we are upset or disappointed or frustrated with our partner, our brain is in hyperdrive. We are on high alert in trying to get our needs met and express ourselves. Unfortunately, this high anxiety status can impede us from being able to clearly tell our partners what we’re looking for from them. Approaching your partner mindfully can help you slow down so that you can have a more productive conversation.”6. More Empathy
With mindfulness, the insula, the part of the brain that is associated with empathy and compassion changes. As we develop mindfulness, we have more capacity to understand our partner’s perspective. We can identify with their emotion and feel empathy, compassion, and the desire to help. This is a major turning point in any difficult conversation, as this is where connection can occur and possibilities start to open up. The more we practice, the more care and empathy we can bring to a difficult conversation. When our partner feels our care and consideration, they are more likely to open up and engage in a productive way. With a climate of more compassion and warmth, partners feel more love, support, and intimacy, which strengthens their bond and connection.7. More Acceptance
In the series about pain, I talked about how life involves some degree of pain. When we worry about the pain, try to avoid the pain, or try to make it different, we create a lot of suffering. Often times, when couples seek help, they have been in pain for a long period of time. Unfortunately, it is actually the way they have tried to avoid the pain that has created much more damage, problems and suffering than the initial pain itself. Mindfulness increases our ability to be present with what is. As we become more mindful, we achieve a greater sense of inner peace.

Eating right has always been what health experts recommend for optimal health. But I know many of us are guilty of taking eating right for granted. I am thrilled that Dr. Joel Fuhrman is with us today to thoroughly explain the benefits of eating right.
Childhood InfluenceDr. Joel Fuhrman was into competitive figure skating in the early 70s. He shares that his dad was overweight and sickly, so the elder Fuhrman bought a lot of books about eating right.
Because so many books about eating right were within reach, Dr. Joel Fuhrman embraced the importance of excellent nutrition during his teenage years up to his early 20s.
When Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s athletic career ended and went on to medical school, he decided to become a physician specializing in nutritional medicine. It was not a surprising choice since eating right made Dr. Joel Fuhrman maximize his athletic performance.
Harsh RealityDr. Joel Fuhrman says he already knew from way back that most people were often sick. Common health problems were high blood pressure, headaches, diabetes, autoimmune conditions and many other mental illnesses due to nutritional ignorance.
The rising number of sickly people is also traced to the standard American diet. Processed food has been the cause of health problems since the 70s.
“Now it’s up to over 65% of calories from processed foods. One in five Americans are mentally ill in response to junk food diet,” shares Dr. Joel Fuhrman. “Never did I imagine a career as rewarding and fulfilled, and with this much impact in this country.”
Fulfilling CareerDr. Joel Fuhrman says that choosing this career path has been very rewarding. People in his line of work has a positive effect on millions of Americans. That is why he is excited over the potential of nutrition.
“I knew I was going to medical school and learning that doctors are mostly drug prescribers, doing surgeries and emergency care,” Dr. Joel Fuhrman said. “I was self-educated, and I made it my career to review, as well as study the science and literature in a comprehensive fashion about nutrition. So I know all the studies that have been done.”
Benefits Of MushroomsDr. Joel Fuhrman has always been fascinated to learn about all the phytochemical factors and biological features of mushrooms among other things. Apparently, mushrooms have anti-angiogenesis effects, and they don’t allow tumors to spread.
“Angiogenesis means the growth of new blood vessels. Insulin is a hormone that angiogenesis is promoting,” explains Dr. Joel Fuhrman. “Mushrooms, onions and green vegetables have anti-angiogenesis effects that oppose the effect of insulin, prevent fat from being stored and prevents tumors from growing in the body as well.”
Dr. Joel Fuhrman even mentions one study on mushrooms. The study found that women who ate 10 grams of mushrooms regularly for over a decade, has 64% reduced incidents of breast cancer.
Current StatisticsRaw onions and scallions were likewise found to have 55 to 88% reduction rate in most major cancers for people who eat them regularly. Because of this, Dr. Joel Fuhrman sees the importance of putting a diet portfolio together.
“Include all these foods that individually have shown to be the most protective. Put them together in a diet that removes cancer-causing elements,” Dr. Joel Fuhrman said. “In reality, we can win the war on cancer. We can wipe out 95% of cancers and save millions of lives.”
New TechnologyOne good thing about the current generation is the fact that medical technology has been rapidly improving every year. More high tech equipment has been made available to detect many health problems in its early stages.
“We now have new technology enabling to diagnose breast cancer, perhaps 10 to 15 years before mammograms can. In the next five years, medical care in the U.S. can be revolutionized as we can diagnose cancer much earlier. The earlier the detection, the more hope for nutritional intervention,” said Dr. Joel Fuhrman.
Success StoriesDr. Joel Fuhrman has countless stories of success treating patients who signed up for his programs on how to eat right. Most of them did not need surgery, got off medication and their heart disease melted away. Many of his patients are thriving in health in their 90s.
“Don’t underestimate the therapeutic potential of nutritional excellence compared to the relative ineffectiveness of drugs. If only people knew how dangerous most of these drugs were,” said Dr. Joel Fuhrman. “The real healthcare is self-care. What we do in our own lives is what keeps us healthy, not what doctors can do for us.”
Changing WaysDr. Joel Fuhrman is passionate about teaching peers and patients on how to eat well to live well. He has advised doctors to spend more time with people whom they usually prescribe medication.
“They don’t have time to educate people. People need a lot of knowledge to protect themselves against problems like cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and dementia to be able to live a hundred years old,” Dr. Joel Fuhrman said.
But Dr. Joel Fuhrman clarifies that he is not claiming that most cancers reverse themselves. The early stage he says is more predictably reversible. Apart from physical health, Dr. Joel Fuhrman says our emotional health is also essential.
Busting MythsDr. Joel Fuhrman says that most things people believe about nutrition are wrong. That’s why he advises people to look for studies with a lot of credence.
“Micronutrient insufficiencies lead to an unrelenting desire to overeat calories and food addictions. Regardless of the mechanisms involved, we have to achieve an excellent level of micronutrients,” explains Dr. Joel Fuhrman. “We have to be exposed to the full spectrum of micronutrients that the human needs for proper health and survival.”
Dr. Joel Fuhrman also reveals that most Americans look for fads and gimmicks to speed up metabolic rate and prevent getting fat. He adds that the real science leading to slow the aging process and enhancing longevity is eating slightly less food so we can slow down metabolic rate.
Diet And LongevityIn connection with the topic of health, diet, and longevity, Dr. Joel Fuhrman cites the book, The Good Life by Helen and Scott Nearing. Scott Nearing was an M.I.T. scholar and economist.
The Nearing couple lived in Maine. Living in one of the coldest areas in the United States, the couple ate healthily and grew their food to survive. Scott Nearing lived to be 101 years old, and Helen Nearing lived until she was in her late 90s. Their long life is attributed to eating right.
“It’s not just about living longer but rather having a healthy life expectancy as we live longer. The problem with most Americans is that ten years before these people pass away, they suffer from a poor quality of life. They don’t enjoy their later years,” Dr. Joel Fuhrman said.
He adds, “Most of these chronic illnesses that plaque Americans are not predominantly genetic. They are mostly from food and ignorance.”
Benefits Of VegetablesDr. Joel Fuhrman explains that our body has the ability through its anti-oxidant response element to repair and fix defects. Raw green vegetables can make cells clean and healthy like cabbage, arugula, broccoli, and watercress.
But did you know it’s not vegetables alone that do the job? Apparently, it’s the chemical reaction that happens when we chew vegetables that benefit us.
“Once vegetables mix with our saliva, it forms nitrous oxide and other beneficial compounds when the mouth bacteria activate it,” said Dr. Joel Fuhrman. “As you crush those cell walls, the chemical reaction activating in your mouth forms cancer-protective compounds. So, chew salads exceptionally well.”
Other Recommended FoodsAside from onions and scallions, beans are highly recommended for a healthy diet. According to Dr. Joel Fuhrman, beans extend our lifespan. Studies have shown that all the people who lived long ate beans.
“Beans also reduce the risk of breast cancer. The lectin in beans have anti-cancer effects, strengthens bone mass and immune system,” Dr. Joel Fuhrman said.
Animal products, on the other hand, shortens lifespan, increases cardiovascular death and cancer. Dr. Joel Fuhrman says studies have proven that there is a link between dairy and breast cancer.
Fast Food Genocide BookDr. Joel Fuhrman likewise believes that health and nutrition should have a more in-depth curriculum in schools to teach kids the importance of eating right. The health problems caused by eating fast food is most certainly a valid concern.
“There is no better link between criminal behavior and drug abuse than candy consumption and junk food in childhood,” said Dr. Joel Fuhrman. “I want people to be a ray of light, be informed and educated so they can articulate the problem. We have to arm our population with the right knowledge and increase our life years.”
He adds, “As Americans, we all stand for equal opportunity and the ability to have a great life. And by getting people to eat healthier, we can have so much more potential and leave this tragedy happening around us.”

“We all have mental health, just like we all have physical health. We are all just on this spectrum at different points on our journey.”
Sanctus are a community of people who believe in mental fitness. They talk openly about mental health, they talk publicly about it and champion Sanctus and it’s mission with pride. They do this by sharing their story on SanctusTV, wearing Sanctus clothing or coming to Sanctus meetups.
Sanctus work with businesses to help them create an open environment where mental health is accepted within their workplace. They do this through their workshops and by putting Sanctus coaches into businesses.
They believe that to change the current perceptions around mental health; they must make it relatable, accessible and aspirational; not dark, depressing and expensive.
Their ultimate mission is to change the perception of mental health. They see a world where people view mental health like physical health and want to put the first mental health gym on the high street.
What this episode has in store for you“Our mission is to change the perception of mental health and try to inspire people to work on their mental health and fitness, just like you would your physical fitness. Physical fitness is a normal, everyday, positive thing that everyone should do – we think mental health should be the same. Our biggest mission is to put the world’s first mental health gym on the high street within the next five years.”
“We help people work on their mental health in a number of ways – we create space to do a number of events each year, we have coaches who work with a whole range of businesses to help try and change the conversation around mental health in the workplace, as well as helping to create a space for people within the workplace to work on their mental health.”
“James, the co-founder of Sanctus, and I met at university. We became best mates and pretty quickly started an app, which after some time of working on it, didn’t grow the way we thought it would. We realised that underneath that exciting journey of building a company, there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes which is really hard, and no one talks about that part of a business usually”
“So, it was after the closure of that initial business that Sanctus came to fruition. James and I both went into jobs investing in start-ups, and it was during this time that James started to suffer from anxiety attacks in meetings. It was the first time that mental health for either of us was a thing, and neither of us understood it. For us, it was the moment where we realised that for years, even as best mates, we had never talked about these kinds of things or really known where to go when we had mental health issues. Even at this point, the perception and ill-understanding of ment

"Knowing without doing is the same thing as not knowing. What matters is if the knowledge that you have will give you an effective health practice for the long term." - Dan Pardi
There is power in knowledge and with the right health and wellness information, we can make the right decisions in accordance with our own needs.
This week, entrepreneur, researcher, and developer of Loop Model to Sustain Health Behaviors, Dan Pardi, explains Self Determination Theory and motivation, the human connection, and his latest project, humanOS to help us find the best health information.
Find The Health You're Looking For"You have more control over your health than anyone else." - Dan Pardi
There are many sources out there that claim that they have the answer to all of your health problems, but they truly don't. These novelty, quick fix methods, products, and services may look appealing, but they aren't sustainable for long-term health results.
To find the best help for your health needs, you first have to clarify your own health problems. Rather than trend hopping by focusing on what you just read in the latest health magazine about a new diet, research and find out for yourself what your body needs.
It can be so confusing with so much information out there in books, magazines, and the internet. However, sources like humansOS, that Dan and his team are putting together, help us find the best, most credible sources of information.
Truth vs. Fiction For Health Research In a recent interview on humanOS radio with Dr. David Katz of Yale, Dan mentioned: “As well-intentioned as someone might be, I frequently find myself getting frustrated, not when somebody’s passionate and wrong about an issue, but when people can be overly confident and dismissive of mainstream medicine’s consensus in favor of their own opinion which can often associate with their own financial reward.”Once you have a proper perspective and mindset, you make good decisions for yourself. It's better late than never to embrace your responsibility to find the best method and motivation for you stay true to yourself and progress your health journey.
One challenge we all face today is the fight against the modern lifestyle. We used to be hunters and gathers, but today we're consuming high processed foods and sitting around too much at home.
An unhealthy lifestyle doesn't only lead to chronic disease, but can impair our daily performance and relationships as well.
All the technology in the world won't help you, but you can use the power of technology to fight back against misinformed studies to do your own research.
Begin Your Own ResearchTo ensure that you are finding the best information out there, look closely at who this researcher is and what their study is all about.
Who are they associated with? Do they declare their method? Do they offer a too good to be true solution?If this source appears to provide a quick fix, be careful.
OR
Do they have a realistic perspective? Does their method clearly explain how it will help? Is their research comprehensive? Does their campaign have an overall, large framework.Once you've found a legitimate piece of information on health, how can you incorporate it into your daily life?
Try to clarify the problem that you're trying to solve. Find the right ideas that can help you. Understand those ideas deeply. Turn those -
Dr. Judith Orloff is a psychiatrist, New York Times Bestselling author and an empath. In her most recent book, The Empath’s Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People, Dr. Orloff provides a wealth of information, exercises and advice for those who may not yet know they are empathic, for parents of empaths and for people who have known for a long time they are empaths and are looking to utilize this gift to align with their life’s purpose in a bigger way.
In this show, Dr. Orloff shares how she applies empathy in her medical practice, and how others may utilize their own unique empathic gift for the benefit of themselves and the world. Kelly and Dr. Orloff also discuss the qualities and characteristics of empathic people, and why it’s important to know if you or someone you love is an empath. This knowledge can be a huge validation for people who have been told that they need to grow thicker skin or that they are overly sensitive, and it can also help identify the types of situations that cause stress, anxiety or energy depletion and how an empath can create healthy boundaries to avoid these common pitfalls.

Don Miguel Ruiz, Jr. is a Toltec Master of Transformation and the son of Don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements discusses how we have unwittingly made agreements about how we choose to live our lives and that these agreements are actually attachments -- limiting filters on who we think we are.
According to Ruiz, "When we believe in something so strongly that we lose awareness of our authentic self within the stories and comments of our internal narrators, we are allowing our preconceptions to make decisions for us. Therefore, it is important to be aware of where we are on the scale of attachment with any particular belief. With awareness we can regain the power to make our own decisions." He explains that our attachments can be divided into five levels -- The Authentic Self, Preference, Identity, Internalization, and Fanaticism and discusses how we can re-evaluate these potentially harmful attachments.
