Ep 6: Hierarchy of Needs - Safety & Basic Needs - "The FundaMENTALs"

Hey! Nice to have you back! You may be picking up on what I’m putting down - how our brain and body intertwine, shaping our daily experiences. Armed with this understanding, we're mixing the batter together nicely as we see how embracing our basic functions empowers us. Picture your breath as the essential flour in your life's recipe – alone, sustaining, but combined with other ingredients, it enriches the flavor. So, let's spice things up and explore more ingredients together! Part 1: Welcome to our first stop on this journey through the human hierarchy of needs! 🌟 In this episode, we delve into Abraham Maslow's iconic Hierarchy of Needs, exploring the foundational levels of Basic and Safety Needs. Learn how meeting these needs forms the basis for human flourishing and self-actualization, setting the stage for higher-order fulfillment. Let's prioritize our well-being and move from surviving to thriving! 🌱 Part 2: 🌀 Join us for a responsive breathing space practice in Part 2! 🌀 Discover how this practice helps us gently navigate discomfort, akin to kneading lumpy dough. Embrace the process of being with our experiences and see the magic unfold. Remember, you're awesome, you matter, and you deserve to thrive! #Self Actualization #HierarchyOfNeeds #HumanFlourishing🌟 #KnowYourFundaMENTALs One more long episode to push some endurance - but listen to your mind and body and pace yourself if needed! There’s no need to rush, pace your listening like you pace your breathing if it works best for you - cool down is coming up next episode! 🌬️ Timestamps: 00:00 Maya Angelou Quote 00:37 Welcome & Advisory 01:39 Intro & Episode Outline 06:49 The WHAT & WHY Hierarchy of Needs 38:47 The HOW - Orientation to Practices 43:03 Notes on KYF Practices 44:15 Episode Practice: Responsive Breathing Space 37:09 Reflection (Inquiry) of Practice 55:22 Living Life Practice 56:43 Summing Up 58:03 Farewell, Connect & Support On https://mindcastmedia.com or https://knowyourfundaMENTALs.com you can connect with us for any other questions, comments, donations, merch, resources, premium content and more!
