Don’t Postpone Your Peace - Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness & Executive Resilience with Elaine Huang The peace you seek is not a destination. It is a practice. A breath. A moment. 🧘 A Poetic Summary A sensitive child becomes a guide. From fashion to social work, from anxiety to breath.She learned to listen to the body's whisperbefore it became a shout. Now, she teaches leaders to find stillness in the storm. To not postpone their peace. To arrive, fully, in the moment. 🎙️ In This Episode Elaine shares her journey—from an anxious, highly sensitive child of Chinese-immigrant parents, through social anxiety in college, to finding relief through yoga, meditation, and breath-focused practices. Her core message: "Don't postpone your peace." She recounts moving from fashion retail into social work and corporate EAP work at AT&T, later teaching meditation seminars in corporate settings and pursuing further clinical training. Key Topics: ✦ Somatic Experiencing and trauma work ✦ Mindfulness and parts-oriented language in coaching ✦ Psychological safety and vulnerability in teams ✦ Intuition in business leadership ✦ Simple daily micro-practices to reset the nervous system ✦ A corporate case study using orienting and the window of tolerance 💬 Comment What does "not postponing your peace" mean to you?

How Horizontal Gene Transfer, Ancient Viruses, and Shamanic Practice Reveal the Porous, Shape-Shifting Truth of Your Body" The idea of a singular, static 'Self' is a biological lie." That’s not science fiction. That’s microbiology. Most people think their identity is a fixed, genetic blueprint. It’s not. You are a fluid, dynamic ecosystem—an ongoing negotiation between ancient bacteria, viral fragments, and a microbial cloud that extends far beyond your skin. In this episode of the Boundless Body Podcast, Dr. Brian Tierney sits down with Simon van der Els—molecular microbiologist and shamanic practitioner—to shatter the myth of the isolated self. They reveal how mobile genetic elements don’t just drive evolution; they are the biological blueprint for how culture, ideology, and personal identity can be decoded, disrupted, and renewed. ⚡ What You’ll Learn (And Unlearn) ✅ Why your genome isn’t a “consensus sequence” but a chaotic cloud of mobile elements ✅ The evolutionary orgy that created complex life—and why it’s still happening inside you ✅ How horizontal gene transfer destroys the concept of a static species ✅ Why an “initiatory illness” (existential depression) is often the price of entry into deeper knowing ✅ The connection between memeplexes, rigid ideology, and the scaffolding of your embryonic self ✅ Why “meta flexibility” is the only survival strategy for a disrupted biosphere ✅ How shamanic practice decodes cultural rigidity just as science decodes genetic rigidity 🧠 About Simon van der Els PhD in Molecular Microbiology focusing on mobile genetic elements and horizontal gene transfer. Long-term coaching practice integrating altered-state journeys and energetic interventions. Facilitator of group journeys bridging scientific inquiry and shamanic decoding. Active on LinkedIn, sharing insights at the intersection of microbiology and consciousness. Golden Nugget 💛 Shape-shifting the biosphere: Why your inner work matters "Identity is a temporary eddy in a genetic and memetic river.

What if the key to healing trauma isn't in the story you tell, but in the sensations you feel? Dr. Brian Tierney talks with Robert Weiss, PhD—a retired psychologist with 52 years of clinical experience and the developer of Mindfulness-Based Somatic Emotional Processing (MBSEP). Born in Lima to German Jewish Holocaust survivors, Weiss shares how his own early trauma shaped a career that evolved from behavioral training into Ericksonian hypnosis, EMDR, brainspotting, and finally MBSEP. He explains why mindful attention to bodily sensations often heals more deeply than narrative or meaning-making, and how breath, resourcing, and therapeutic relationship can address dysregulation and fragmentation. Through powerful case examples—intergenerational grief, workplace anger, childbirth loss, and even his own Parkinson's diagnosis—Weisz illuminates what it truly means to move into fear and transform through the body. Highlights: - How early trauma as a child of Holocaust survivors shaped Weiss's clinical path - Why MBSEP focuses on sensation over storyUsing breath and "scene work" for regulation and resourcing - How Ericksonian hypnosis built the foundation for relational safety - Intergenerational trauma and the therapeutic use of numinous imagery - Working with anger, shame, guilt, and mixed emotions - Moving into fear as a practice—including Weiss's own journey with Parkinson's - Ayahuasca, love as transformation, and the limits of "McMindfulness" Guest: Robert Weiss, PhD https://mbsep.com/about/robert-weisz-phd/https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Robert-Weisz/248111300 Host: Dr. Brian Tierney www.somaticdoctor.com We want to hear from YOU: What resonated most with you—the intergenerational case example, working with anger, or Weiss's perspective on moving into fear with Parkinson's?

🔥 BORING SEX IS A WARNING SIGN How to Expand Your Window of Pleasure "I used to lie there wondering when it would be over." That’s not a confession. That’s a call to awakening. Most people think bad sex is a technique problem. It’s not. It’s a tolerance problem—your nervous system simply cannot hold that much pleasure yet. In this episode of the Boundless Body Podcast, Dr. Brian Tierney sits down with Shashi Solluna—Oxford-trained psychologist turned international Tantra teacher—to reveal why boring sex is actually a spiritual signal, and how to systematically expand your capacity for embodied ecstasy. ✅ Why "just relax" is terrible advice for trauma survivors—and what to do instead✅ The difference between goal-driven sex (exhausting) and nourishing yin sex (restorative)✅ How a decade-long tantric partnership transformed Shashi from celibate seeker to pleasure teacher✅ Why your pelvic floor holds the key to both trauma and transcendence✅ The "pendulation" method: moving between contraction and expansion without dissociation✅ How anger and grief are not obstacles to passion—they are its raw fuel✅ A simple self-pleasure practice (perineum + breath) that rewires full-body orgasmic potential----------------------------------------------- Sashi Solluna: B.A. in Experimental Psychology, Oxford UniversityTrained in Osho active meditations (embodiment, catharsis, therapy)Certified in Mantak Chia’s Daoist sexual arts (including dark-room retreats)Lineage-holder in classical Indian tantra yogaFounder of LiveTantra.com – one of the world’s largest online Tantra platformsAuthor of Tantra Made EasyComing soon: films Sex to Spirit + Tantra Unveiled"You can't learn this out of a book.

"Before the body remembers, the mind only theorizes. But when the body speaks—through eyes that won't meet, jaws that won't release, breath that won't descend—that's where bioenergetics begins." Dr. Brian Tierney connects with Diana Guest—certified bioenergetic therapist, international trainer, and living bridge to the roots of somatic psychotherapy—for a masterclass on Bioenergetic Analysis. Together they trace the lineage from Wilhelm Reich to Alexander Lowen to the present moment, exploring how character structure lives in the body's seven segments: 👁️ Eyes 👄 Jaw 🫁 Throat ❤️ Chest 🌬️ Diaphragm 🫀 Pelvis Diana defines bioenergetics as a holistic, somatic, relational psychotherapy—one that treats the body not as metaphor, but as history made visible. 🧬 What Bioenergetics Actually Is A living lineage from Reich and Lowen, distinct from New Age appropriation — 👁️ The Eyes How we charge, discharge, and reveal character through the first body segment — 💑 Couples Work Eye contact interventions that bypass narrative and land in the body — 🤲 Touch Literacy Consent, ethics, and the therapeutic power of skilled, safe touch — 👄 The Mouth, Jaw, and Voice Biting, sucking, rooting—the unfinished business of the oral stage — 🗺️ The Character Map Schizoid, oral, borderline, narcissistic, masochistic, rigid: where we hold and why — 🌬️ The Diaphragm The breath breakthrough that changes everything — 🫀 Pelvis and Sexuality The "sexual cornerstones" that shape intimacy and expression — 🌍 Grounding Not as metaphor, but as felt relationship with the earth beneath us — 🎙️ Host: Dr. Brian Tierney somaticdoctor.com 🧑‍🏫 Guest: Diana Guest dianaguest.com 📚 Diana's Books: Becoming Grounded and more Amazon Link 🔔 Follow for more conversations at the intersection of body, psyche, and soul #Bioenergetics #SomaticTherapy #BodyPsychotherapy #DrBrianTierney #DianaGuest #TraumaHealing #NervousSystem #Grounding #TheBodyKeepsTheScore #WilhelmReich #AlexanderLowen #BoundlessBody

What if everything we think we know about education and therapy is wrong?

Why do the most profound learning experiences often feel like getting lost in a good game? In this episode, Brian sits down with Christopher Icks, a philosopher, applied linguist, and experiential learning designer, to explore why "play" isn't just for kids—it’s a vital engine for deep, transformative learning. From his work at the University of Oregon's CASTLES to his stewardship of Eugene’s eclectic Resonance Building, Christopher reveals how we can design spaces and experiences that foster genuine connection, wayfinding, and what he calls "vital surplus." They dive into the tension between rigid institutional metrics and the messy, beautiful reality of how we actually learn. Get ready to question the classroom circle, embrace a little vertigo, and discover why a "Bring Your Own Puppet Party" might just be the future of professional development. 🏛️ The Resonance Building: A deep dive into this unique hybrid space (healing arts + community workshops) and its three pillars: Somatic Attunement, Mind-Body Integration, and Co-creation. How play became the "engine" that keeps the space open and alive.🔄 Theory vs. Practice: The challenge of translating post-structuralist ideas (Deleuze, Guattari) and affect-oriented pragmatics into projects that are legible to grant committees and institutions stuck in conventional metrics.🧭 Cartesian Subjectivity & The Grid: Christopher explains how Descartes' grid created a "view from nowhere" that still shapes our institutions, identities, and how we measure learning—often to our detriment.🌀 The Power of Vertigo: Referencing Roger Caillois, they discuss vertigo as a critical form of play that disrupts our "compulsive centering" and opens us up to new possibilities.📚 Bateson's Levels of Learning (0–3): A brilliant breakdown using examples from throwing a rock to skeet shooting, illustrating why trying to create systemic change (Level III) using Level I metrics (like KPIs) creates double binds and pathological gaming of the system.🎭 Liberating Structures & Mixed Reality: Christopher shares his work on 'Escape from Bia Oxia,' an XR experience used for Fulbright orientations that teaches cultural pragmatics through an escape-room format.💩 Crass Metaphors & Creativity: A discussion on the role of "excrement" and "nutriment" in language and creation, drawing from philosophical and artistic traditions like Fluxus and John Cage."Play repeatedly emerges as the 'engine' that keeps spaces open and resists closure or 'capture.'"
