An exceptional guest on our podcast today, is Dr. Uma Patil, a Reiki Healer. The mind-body-spirit connection is real, and when you understand how it all works you're able to more fully step into your own power. Essentially, the mind affects the flow of your spirit, which in turn affects the body. With our minds, we can choose either bad-feeling thoughts or good-feeling thoughts at any moment. These thoughts create a corresponding emotion, which either creates higher vibration or a lower one. When our vibration is higher, the mind and body are in harmony. When our vibration lowers, the mind and body become out of balance and the body begins to show signs of energy disruption. Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation and reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing. Tune into Athlete Mind Podcast.

Today we have a very special guest, Rashmi Raikar, Kundalini Yoga & Meditation Facilitator, and a Zumba Instructor. As her designation suggests, this episode is all about thoughts and meditation. When meditating, we are not engaged in thinking. That does not mean the mind will be empty thoughts will still appear but we are not looking to engage with these thoughts. We are training the mind to no longer chase every thought we like, and to no longer resist every thought we don't like. Reach out to Rashmi Raikar on Instagram and Youtube.

Spirituality involves the recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself, something more to being human than sensory experience, and that the greater whole of which we are part is cosmic or divine in nature. The hard part about spirituality is putting it into practice in the real world. We can read about it in books attend workshops and even meditate about life, but what counts is the choices we make. Every decision we make closes off some possibilities and opens up some new ones. Our decisions are driven by our values and beliefs about the world. As we grow and experience the world we form a set of beliefs and values about our world and our part in it. These values guide the way we live our lives. Our thoughts, feelings, and actions are guided by our values. If our values are healthy, positive values, we will think and act in positive, healthy ways, and that in turn will lead to positive, healthy lives. Spirituality is not something you just do when you 'feel' like it. Spiritual Giants have consciously or subconsciously practiced Constancy and One-Pointedness of Aim and Effort in their Spiritual Sadhana to become who they are. It is only through strict self-discipline can you be a Great Soul to help guide and teach other Souls that come after you... Tune into Athlete Mind Podcast. Follow me on Instagram and YouTube.

As June was Men’s Health Month, I want to talk about something that we don’t talk about enough: men and depression. I know I'm a bit late to this topic but better late than never. So we have Ketan Patel today, as our guest, who'll be talking about Men's Mental Health, responsibilities, societal pressures they go through, etc. as the list is endless. While it’s not exactly a women’s health topic, our typical focus at the Office on Women’s Health, we know that most women have important men in their lives. Fathers, partners, sons, brothers, uncles, and friends. Their health matters to us. They’re why we need to have a conversation about mental health — because I worry they’re not talking about it enough. My message this Men’s Health Month is simple: We need to talk openly about mental health. Suffering in silence isn’t a safe or healthy option for the men in our lives. Check in with them. Ask them how they’re feeling, especially if one of them has experienced a recent event that could trigger depression. Look for changes in his behavior and watch out for depression symptoms. If you think someone you love has depression, offer your support, listen, and be patient. Encourage him to talk to his doctor or a mental health professional, or you can help him find treatment services in his area. Living with depression can feel overwhelming and isolating, so let him know he’s not alone. Help is available, and he can feel better. Tune into Athlete Mind Podcast.

Having a positive attitude means being optimistic about situations, interactions, and yourself. People with positive attitudes remain hopeful and see the best even in difficult situations. In contrast, those with negative attitudes may be more pessimistic and disagreeable, and typically expect the worst outcome in tough situations. While having a positive attitude doesn’t necessarily make you less stressed, it can equip you with the tools you need to cope with stress more healthily. A positive outlook will teach you to be grateful for the good things in your work and life. You’ll approach every day with an appreciative mindset.

Today we have an entrancing human being, Raashi Malhotra, a Wellness & Mindset Coach, Money Mindset & Manifestation Expert, and an Inspirational Speaker. This episode is all about the Law of Attraction, Manifestation, and Abundance. The law of attraction brings positive impacts on mental well-being. By focusing on attaining a new reality, and by believing it is possible, we tend to take more risks, notice more opportunities, and open ourselves up to new possibilities. Conversely, when we don’t believe that something is in the realm of possibilities for us, we tend to let opportunities pass by unnoticed.

Our guest for today is a Ph.D. holder in psychology, Dr. Sachita Sabharwal, who will guide us on how we can manage stress & anxiety. Stress is any demand placed on your brain or physical body. Any event or scenario that makes you feel frustrated or nervous can trigger it. Anxiety is a feeling of fear, worry, or unease. While it can occur as a reaction to stress, it can also happen without any obvious trigger.
