Wild Yoga: A Practice of Initiation, Veneration & Advocacy for the Earth

Wild Yoga with author Rebecca Wildbear

Rebecca Wildbear describers herself as an earth-centred writer and soul guide. She writes, “When we are in our bodies, at one with nature, we are in touch with intelligence more significant than our minds. Nature can inspire our movements, align us with our instincts, initiate us into living our soul’s purpose, and guide us in tending the well-being of all life.”

Rebecca shares what she believes differentiates the soul from the spirit. We talk about the importance of stillness, of listening to trees, of sitting with the earth, of allowing. And how to flow in the river of your heart waters.

FEB 22: How to Gain Emotional Freedom with Thomas Sterner

February 22, 2023

It’s Just A Thought: Emotional Freedom through Deliberate Thinking

Podcast with Thomas Sterner, Author of It’s Just a Thought

Today’s 24-hour news cycles, smart phones, and constant digital connection have made it difficult for many of us to quiet our minds and focus, or even relax. In fact, many of us spend as much as 95% of time on autopilot, simply auto-responding vs thinking. Which leads to our discussion today and how Thomas Sterner can help us “think vs being thought.”

The skills Tom teaches prove we’re not the thoughts and emotions that often overwhelm us — and that we have the power to connect to who we really are, and achieve what we really want. We look at the relationship between heart and brain. Explore how our conscious vs subconscious minds interact. And how to recognize unhelpful historical and present-day programming.

About Thomas M. Sterner

The founder and CEO of the Practicing Mind Institute, Thomas Sterner is a successful entrepreneur, and an expert in present moment functioning, PMF™. As a speaker and coach, he works with high-performance industry groups and individuals, including athletes, coaches, and CEOs.
