In this Episode #4 of Radical Reorienting we delve into the topic of MEDITATION for body and brain health.
Sakyong Mipham: “The body benefits from movement, and the mind benefits from stillness.”
In this episode Daryl and I have a go at toppling a few unfounded negative attitudes and beliefs about mediation. We share our personal and professional experience with it. We talk about the value of meditation in addressing two of the biggest challenges and ailments of the 21st century experienced across all age groups – anxiety and distractibility.
We invite you to email us with your ideas about collaborating, developing and delivering mindfulness-based programmes to reduce the debilitating effects of these global maladies.
Connect with us at MindRheo and DBR Training.
We hope you’ll be inspired to sit, stand, walk, dance, exercise, eat and breathe mindfully at least 2 – 5 minutes a day. That’s not too much to ask of yourself, is it?

In this episode, Melanie Flory, founder of MindRheo, and Daryl Richards, founder of DBR Training, discuss some of the latest research on why we sleep , how much sleep is essential for maintaining and improving body and brain health, and what happens when we are sleep deficient.
The growing body of scientific evidence affirms that sleep is essential for physical, mental and psychological health, and that sleep deficiency compromises overall health and wellbeing.
Optimal quantity and quality of sleep is vital for brain development, energy conservation, daily removal of neurotoxins from the brain, modulation of immune response, memory retention and recall, alertness, protection against disease and even emotional intelligence! The list is long and varied.
If you’re not getting a good night’s sleep 9 times out of 10, this podcast is for you.

In this Episode #2 of Radical Reorienting we delve into the topic of OPTIMAL MOVEMENT for body and brain health.
Daryl Richards defines optimal movement as being able to “move well enough to do what you want and need to do without any pain or compensation.” He uncovers the importance of joint and spinal mobility for long-term health and wellbeing, and brings his vast experience to the discussion on types of movement and tips for exercising regularly. Melanie explains the significance of movement and exercise in activating and maintaining brain plasticity, with positive outcomes for memory retention and recall, enhanced ability for new learning, increasing attention span, and enabling creative thinking.
In Radical Reorienting we intersect neuroscience and psychology with sports and exercise science to help you work towards the healthiest version of yourself, both mentally and physically.
