Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. In this follow-up episode on play, Lauren and Blaine dive into why "play" is so surprisingly hard to define. Drawing on research, they explore a definition of play as voluntary, time-freeing, improvisational, and apparently purposeless. They then contrast it with activities we often mislabel as play, like cooking, exercise, and goal-driven creativity.Blaine shares a story from her triathlon days that reveals how deeply she struggled to shift from structured training into genuine playfulness, and what finally inspired her to pick up watercolor painting purely for joy. Lauren describes turning landscaping chores and snow clearing into spontaneous games, and why that shift matters more than it sounds.Together, they connect authentic play to energy coherence, stress recovery, better sleep, creativity, and even animal survival behavior. Lauren and Blaine make the case that small, purposeless "play breaks" aren't a luxury, but a biological and energetic need.Now available wherever you get your podcasts!Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:14 Billionaires And Backlash 03:01 Integrity And Nuance 05:08 Blaine Reacts To Play 05:53 Consternation Defined 07:16 Triathlon Joy Story 11:55 Defining Play Together 15:08 Blaine Finds Her Play 20:13 Purpose Versus Play 23:34 Is Cooking Really Play 24:38 Purposeless Play Debate 25:04 Cooking as Social Play 25:51 Gendered Views on Purpose 26:45 Landscaping Turned Game 29:14 Snowballing the Deck 30:43 Play as Energy Coherence 33:52 Intel Fires Itself 36:33 Stress Data Meets Play 41:49 Animals Play for Survival 45:07 Fire Element and Healing 46:49 Tiny Play Break Ideas 47:52 ConclusionEpisode Resources:EMYoga Online Courses: emyoga.thinkific.com/collections/emyoga-coursesShop our EMYoga Store: emyogastore.com/Sign up for our FREE weekly Newsletter: www.energymedicineyoga.net/Listen on Spotify: Energy WorksListen on Apple Podcasts: Energy WorksFollow us on Instagram: @EnergyMedicineYogaFollow us on Facebook: @EnergyMedicineYoga#EnergyMedicineYoga #EMYoga #EnergyWorksPodcast #WellnessPodcast #Play #Playful #PurposelessPlay #TheEnergyofPlay

Pat isn't a biohacker or wellness guru, he's a former Nikon sales rep who quietly stumbled into a life of longevity through meditation, community, creativity, and presence.Pat shares the story of how a career move from New York to Massachusetts in 1972 led him to daily meditation, a practice he's kept for over 50 years. He talks about quitting smoking at 62 using a surprisingly simple mindset shift, the grief of outliving so many friends, and what it means to still feel connected and purposeful at nearly 90.Lauren and Pat also explore his extraordinary "art diary," a handmade calendar project he's maintained since 1972, filled with drawings, collage, and dry humor that documents the texture of daily life. Pat reflects honestly on death, the afterlife, regret, and the wisdom he'd offer anyone trying to live well.This is a heartfelt conversation about aging, meaning, and the small things that quietly add up to a long, full life.

Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. In this Big Ideas episode, Lauren welcomes author and intuition teacher Hilary McCann Crowley for an expansive conversation about what intuition really is and how it relates to consciousness.Hilary traces the word intuition back to its roots as an “inner tutor,” explaining that everyone has intuitive capacity, but each person experiences and relates to it differently. She also explores an important ethical principle in intuitive work: respecting another person’s inner authority rather than projecting fear, shame, or certainty onto them.Along the way, she shares a memorable everyday example, reflects on ancestors, spirit, and the possibility of consciousness existing everywhere. Hilary offers a refreshing perspective on developing intuition which consists of not dissecting it, but instead, giving ourselves permission and unlearning what blocks it.This episode is an invitation to reconsider intuition not as something mystical or exclusive, but as a natural part of being human that becomes clearer when we slow down, listen, and trust our inner guide.

Blaine, who teaches time blocking to entrepreneurs inside the Conscious Business Builders Club, shares why she considers it a proven and surprisingly liberating method.They have some fun discussing what time blocking really is: scheduling everything, including self-care, creative play, and even “free time” to reduce decision fatigue, close mental open loops, and increase focus and follow-through. Blaine explains how intentional structure can quiet the nervous system and support meaningful momentum.But this isn’t a productivity pep talk. Lauren and Blaine explore the yin/yang dance between formless creativity and structured output. They dive into the tension between flow and discipline, the importance of protecting personal time, and how alone time fuels creative emergence. This episode offers a grounded, energetic lens on time, inviting you to experiment with flexible structure while honoring the sacred space where inspiration is born.
