By changing the way pain is experienced we can cease the secondary suffering created by pain, interrupting the 'feedback loop' caused by the stress associated with the physical discomfort. Reducing the stress caused by pain subsequently reduces the physical pain, in this way the practice of mindfulness can be a powerful remedy for chronic conditions and has significant impacts on the wellbeing of those afflicted. If you don't suffer from a chronic condition yourself please remember to share this with anyone you know who suffers painful conditions including arthritis and fibromyalgia. If you understand the technique and mechanism of action you may also find this practice useful for chronic emotional pain.

My meditations are mostly based on secular mindfulness with elements of Advaita Vedanta (Nonduality) This particular meditation evokes sense memories from happy periods of time and then focuses the listener into the happier feelings that arise. This re-awakens the brains natural feel-good chemistry and once this experience is felt the brain will naturally begin to re-adjust it's natural balance.This requires a pushing through of 'Nostalgia' feelings and perhaps a pang of sorrow, grief or loss as we feel as though we long to return to the past, however on the other side of that nostalgia we discover that these happy and joyful feelings never went away, they have been there all along they have simply been obscured by the weight of the many years of conditioning that enshrouded them.

My meditations are mostly based on secular mindfulness with elements of Advaita Vedanta (Nonduality) This guided meditation is an introduction to the powerful and often utilized technique of 'thought-watching' with a vivid and engaging visualization. Through imagining one's consciousness as the sky and the thoughts to be like clouds arising within it we can find a powerful inner peace through the disengagement and disidentification with thoughts.

The inner child is the still present entity that is a collection of every experience that was left unresolved from childhood, naturally some of these experiences were painful. On the spiritual path we may sometimes find these concepts keep hitting paradoxes, how to be fully present when the past was so very painful? Does the concept of 'inner child work' and 'healing from trauma' work with the spiritual path? In this talk I dive feet first into this subject, I speak about my own experiences of severe anxiety attacks as a child that were unrecognised, dismissed and invalidated and the inevitable consequences this had for me as an adult, suffering through these attacks without support left me a form of PTSD that has required extensive work to recover from, a process I have found even harder than my recovery from addiction and my weight loss journey combined. I have often asked myself which I should focus on in my recovery, the more traditional talking therapy approach or the deepest spiritual teachings, in the end I found they are not at odds with each other at all. Although occasionally contradictory, they absolutely can be practised and worked through together. I delve into the mire of the healing process and I very much hope I can offer some solace, comfort and words of encouragement for those of you enduring this difficult process. This marks the end of Series 1 of this Podcast I will be taking a brief hiatus to rest, reset and recover before going weapons hot again.

Link to my Guided Meditations on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@corinbryant Overthinking is a very common problem that can cause immense stress and frustration, even for those on the spiritual path and well established in meditative practice. There are many practices designed to help one calm and quieten the mind, in this episode I discuss some of my favourite pointings for techniques and principles on quietening the mind. I also discuss the possibility of changing or softening deeply held beliefs regarding thought and feelings as a beginning stage of becoming free from thinking. Further in, I discuss the possibility of eradicating thought altogether, it is claimed that this is indeed possible and I suggest a practice to make this happen. After all, if you withdraw awareness from thought, what happens to the thought? -- The teachers I referenced here: Ramana Maharshi Mooji Rupert Spira The practices referenced: Self-Enquiry Self-Abidance Advaita Vedanta --

A barrier that prevents inner peace before people have even begun to awaken. So tied up and bound to their own misery, broken from the repeated attempts at finding happiness, any proposed solution to suffering is met with many objections, not least of which is the idea that staying Present is just wishful thinking, too good to be true or worst of all 'toxic positivity' Fair objections considering the depth of suffering the world contains. But through a sincere examination one finds that the peace attained through spiritual practice is a real, tangible and practical resolution to all suffering, and experience is undeniable, to yourself only and to none other. The sacrifice involved in spiritual awakening is a high price indeed, and this price paid is the receipt you can show if you ever feel like this whole thing is just too good to be true. How can it be, when the price paid is Everything You Were? A single drop of bliss is enough to confirm the reality of the infinite universal consciousness, and consciousness pays no heed to either positive or negative - Life is the Meal not the Menu, and contains both Salt & Sweet. In essence, ultimately, it cannot be toxic positivity because it is neither positive nor negative: It Just Is.

A common problem in spirituality is the concern about going crazy or 'losing it' - As with many of these problems it turns out the reverse is true, you're finally going sane. In this episode I discuss why this phenomenon occurs and the ultimate defence against it that you can practice directly within your experience, relax, consciousness can't go crazy.

Many people through meditation come to the understanding that the future and past don't exist, and yet their chronic anxiety seems to remain. In this talk I discuss what anxiety is, some common approaches to the recovery from anxiety, why anxiety remains so persistent despite our sincere and best efforts to overcome it and finally propose a solution to rid yourself of anxiety for good. I cover a range of approaches from the scientific to the deeply spiritual in this talk and have taken a slightly different approach to delivery and production. This is due to the nature of the subject and my constant endeavour to provide a real, practical content that will have genuine and lasting effects on people's health and wellbeing For further research in self-enquiry, Advaita Vedanta and Awakening in general I would recommend the work of Rupert Spira, Mooji and Ramana Maharishi. --- Email: Corinbryant2@gmail.com My Guided Meditations: https://corin-bryant-meditation-coach.company.site/products/Complete-Collection-34-Guided-Meditations-by-Corin-Bryant-Audio-Remastered-&-Downloadable-p655075985

*Don't Forget To Subscribe* So there are a couple of spiritual questions raises by the dawning of Artificial Intelligence, but not enough to warrant a full episode. I love this subject so wanted to discuss some thoughts and predictions on the whole thing, as usual everything is always very down about the whole thing but personally I think good things are coming.

(*Don't forget to Subscribe*) This is a common and highly frustrating phenomena, the deep and powerful insight into your true nature then a falling back into old ego-identified mind patterns. Don't despair, you have tasted freedom now, once the glimpse into your true nature has been experienced you are well on the way. But do not fall asleep, the opportunity to awaken is alive in you and can be established permanently today. In this episode I discuss the common reasons why this occurs and the key understandings that can prevent this from happening. Take care Be well Stay present
