The Mindful Movement Podcast and Community

In this episode, I sit down with chiropractor, structural integration specialist, and movement coach Dr. Lawrence van Lingen for a fascinating deep dive into how the neck and nervous system shape nearly every aspect of your health. We cover the hidden toll that screen time is taking on your cervical spine and nervous system, how to self-organize the neck to improve posture from the inside out, and why the vagus nerve plays such a central role in autoimmunity and overall wellbeing. Lawrence also breaks down the surprising connection between eye movements and your autonomic nervous system, and explains how the dura mater, the connective tissue surrounding your spinal cord, influences both spinal health and the quality of your sleep. This one will genuinely change the way you head and your eyes.https://www.themindfulmovement.comThanks so much for all of your support!With gratitude,Les and SaraSome of our Favorites (affiliates)https://www.themindfulmovement.com/resources---------------------------------------------1:1 SessionsPERSONALIZED HYPNOTHERAPY, TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING, OR MOVEMENT COACHING https://www.themindfulmovement.com/hypnotherapy-and-transformational-coaching---------------------------------------------🙏 The Mindful Movement is happy to provide these meditations, podcasts, and videos free of charge.

In this episode, I sit down with Christine Jaureguiberry, founder of Move With Scoliosis and a Senior Yoga Teacher who has dedicated her career to helping people manage scoliosis through movement. Diagnosed with scoliosis herself at age five, Christine brings both personal experience and deep expertise to this conversation.

We cover what scoliosis actually is, the different types, and why muscles and movement play such a critical role in managing it. Christine walks us through therapeutic approaches including Schroth, yoga, and Pilates, and we dig into how posture, breathing, and everyday lifestyle choices can make a real difference. Whether you've been recently diagnosed or have been living with scoliosis for years, this episode is packed with practical insight.

In this episode, I sit down with Bill Eddy, a therapist, legal educator, and co-founder of the High Conflict Institute. With a unique background spanning clinical social work, family law, and mediation, Bill has spent decades studying high-conflict behavior and helping people navigate some of the most difficult interpersonal dynamics.

We break down what actually defines a high-conflict personality, where these behavior patterns come from, and how they often overlap with personality disorders. Bill walks through practical tools like EAR statements and BIF responses, which are designed to de-escalate conflict in real time. We also explore how AI and modern technology are shaping the way we communicate, and what that means for conflict moving forward.

In this episode, I sit down with Brian Turner, a financial advisor based in Maryland and partner at a wealth management firm, where he works closely with individuals and families to build long-term financial strategies. With a background in portfolio management and financial planning, Brian brings a grounded, real-world perspective on what it actually takes to create sustainable wealth.

We go beyond numbers in this conversation. We talk about how money shapes family dynamics, why a holistic approach to wealth and success matters, and how vulnerability and authenticity play a bigger role in financial health than most people realize. Brian also breaks down the importance of education and mindset, and how the way you think about money can either limit you or open doors.

In this episode, I sit down with Mingtong Gu to explore what happens to human awareness in an increasingly digital world, and why reconnecting with the body may be more important than ever. We talk about the impact of AI on consciousness, the risks of disconnection, and how conscious choices can help preserve what makes us human.

Mingtong Gu is a Qigong master, teacher, and founder of The Chi Center. He is also the author of Coming Home to Embodied Awakening, where he teaches a body-centered approach to awareness and healing.

We dive into the role of embodiment, why practices like Qigong and sound healing have persisted for centuries, and how reconnecting with your body and nature can support resilience, clarity, and overall well-being in a rapidly evolving world.
