Episode 201 - Holistic Living: Nurturing Mind, Body & Spirit in Modern Life

The Conscious Action Podcast by Brian Berneman

11/19/24 • 24 min

On this episode Brian Berneman introduces the topic of holistic living - nurturing ourselves spiritually, cognitively, and in all aspects of our modern, fast-paced lives. He shares his own journey of integrating spiritual practices daily to bring more wholeness and balance.

Incorporating daily spiritual practices:

Brian emphasizes the importance of integrating small, manageable spiritual practices into our daily routines, such as taking 3 deep breaths before meals. He explains how this can help create new neural pathways and shift our energy to show up differently.

Discernment and authenticity in wellness trends:

He cautions against blindly following wellness trends and practices, urging listeners to be discerning and trust their own intuition. He highlights the need to find practices that truly resonate, rather than getting caught up in what's popular or what others are doing.

Balancing self-care and service to others:

Brian stresses the importance of healers, coaches, and others in service roles to prioritize their own self-care and spiritual growth, using the analogy of putting on your own oxygen mask first before assisting others on an airplane. He notes the lack of role models for this balance.

Connecting with nature and diverse spiritual traditions:

He emphasizes the value of connecting with nature, whether through daily practices or immersive experiences. He also encourages exploring diverse spiritual traditions, while cautioning against cultural appropriation and ensuring practices are honored and understood correctly.

Integrating spirituality into daily life:

Brian shares his perspective that being present and mindful in any activity can be a spiritual practice. He invites listeners to continue exploring holistic living, being curious, and integrating spiritual growth into all aspects of their lives.

Improved Focus and Concentration

Mindfulness is proven to improve focus and concentration, leading to enhanced productivity. When employees are present and mindful of their tasks, their performance and efficiency increase.

Mindfulness helps develop better coping mechanisms and builds resilience, enabling employees to adapt more effectively to changes and challenges, such as the pandemic.

Enhanced Decision-Making and Creativity

Mindfulness can lead to clearer decision-making, reduced impulsivity, and more innovative and creative problem-solving, as employees approach challenges with an open and focused mindset.

The Conscious Action Podcast by Brian Berneman

12/07/21 • 16 min

On this episode Brian explores the importance of returning to the body and being present.

We have been conditioned to use our heads so much, we have been out of touch with our bodies, feelings and inner wisdom. Coming back home to the body allows us to become more present, becoming more in touch with the gifts we bring into the world.

How are you showing up? What are you embodying? What are the qualities and energy you are bringing into life?

We encourage you to take the time this week to check in with your body, notice your experience and consciously choosing what you are embodying.
