Embodying Joy

Warning: I act a little silly in this one. ;-)

In this playful, presence-filled episode, we explore joy as a full-body experience — one that doesn’t require perfection or performance. With gentle mindfulness, creative seated or standing movement, and a spirit of curiosity, this practice invites you to notice, express, and move with joy.

We’re inspired by the idea that joy can be both an anchor and a rebellion — a way to root ourselves in meaning even when things feel uncertain.

Trebbe Johnson, Radical Joy for Hard Times: Finding Meaning and Making Beauty in Earth’s Broken Places
→ A powerful guide to finding beauty and meaning in challenging times — through presence, creativity, and connection to place.

Relief in Motion: Mindfulness & Movement for Chronic Pain

In this special seated-accessible episode, we explore gentle movement and mindfulness as tools for soothing the nervous system and shifting our relationship to chronic pain. Designed for listeners with limited mobility, this practice offers breath-led guidance, somatic support, and a sense of empowerment through presence — not pressure.

You don’t have to push through. You don’t have to “fix” anything.

This is about making room for breath, compassion, and small, meaningful motion.

Enough for This Moment

In this episode of Rise and Revitalize, we slow down to reconnect with what’s already present. Through gentle mindfulness and embodied movement, this practice cultivates inner recognition and quiet fullness—without striving, fixing, or naming what we’re “supposed” to feel.

Rather than reaching outward, we turn inward.

We notice what’s still working.

We open to what’s still good.

We let that be enough.

This episode is a gentle companion for days when you feel disconnected or overwhelmed by the pursuit of “more.” All you need is what you already have.

The Wisdom of Circles: Returning to Presence

Brady Guinn guides you through a soothing 10-minute mindfulness practice that uses the imagery and symbolism of circles to bring you back to the present moment. You’ll then move into 20 minutes of circular, spiral-based mobility — creating softness, flow, and calm throughout your body.
