5 Minutes of Peace

In this reflective episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, writer, coach, and creative guide Lisa Tener invites us into the gentle and accessible world of poetry. She reminds us that poetry isn’t reserved for experts or scholars—it’s a natural form of expression available to anyone willing to listen inwardly and explore what arises.

Lisa begins by encouraging a spirit of curiosity when approaching poetry. Whether writing or listening, poetry can help us explore sound, emotion, rhythm, and imagination. Rather than worrying about technique, she suggests simply asking: What does this poem make me feel? What does i...

In this reflective reading, listeners are invited to step away from the habit of comparing themselves to others and instead honor their own unique path. The message reminds us that each person carries a distinct perspective, shaped by their experiences, quirks, and individuality. These differences are not flaws to hide, but gifts that bring creativity, discovery, and new solutions into the world.

The reading acknowledges that while society encourages certain forms of conformity — such as respecting laws and treating others with kindness — true fulfillment does not come from trying to reshape ourselves to match someone else’s life...

In this reflective episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, choreographer and educator Alexandra Beller guides us through a simple yet profound breathing practice rooted in awareness, not control.

Rather than “holding” the breath, Alexandra invites us to pause at the top of the inhale and the bottom of the exhale, waiting until the body naturally asks for the next breath. In these quiet, in-between spaces, something deeper begins to emerge — sensation, awareness, even insight.

This practice highlights breath as a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind, offering an embodied way to access creativity, release habitual patter...

In this episode, we explore the idea that how we manage our energy may matter more than how we manage our time. Many of us structure our lives around schedules, deadlines, and productivity goals, believing that careful time management will help us accomplish everything we hope to do. Yet experts increasingly suggest that sustainable productivity and well-being come not from controlling time, but from caring...

In this inspiring episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, we’re joined by special guest Rand Selig, who shares reflections drawn from his book, Thriving: How to Create a Healthier, Happier, and More Prosperous Life.

Which wolf are you feeding?
