“We breathe 25,000 times a day — what if we noticed even one of those breaths differently?” In this episode of The Modern Mindfulness Podcast, Rebekka sits down with master breathwork teacher and founder of Alchemy of Breath, Anthony Abbagnano. The breath is both ordinary and extraordinary—it carries us from our first inhale to our final exhale, and yet, when we pay attention, it becomes one of the most profound teachers of presence and healing.

Together, Rebekka and Anthony dive into:

• The subtle mystery of the breath as a bridge between body and spirit
• How different breath practices—from pranayama to holotropic—can awaken creativity, release trauma, and restore nervous system balance
• Why facilitation matters: how to discern safe, ethical, and trauma-informed breathwork spaces
• The breath as a sacred teacher, referenced in major spiritual texts, and how it continues to offer exactly what we are ready to receive
• How Anthony weaves a simple daily practice of conscious connected breathing with free writing to open the day with clarity and flow
• Applying 'The Hero's Journey' to your own life to help inform and transform it forward

If you’ve ever wondered what makes breathwork so powerful—or how to safely explore its depths—this conversation will leave you inspired to meet your own breath with reverence.

And be sure to head to the hour mark for a mini but mighty guided breathwork experience!

'What can we do to bring healing and protection to the earth?'... the question that started a 30+ year journey {and still going} of placing literal clay vases around the world to help do just that. In this episode, Rebekka sits down with Cynthia Jurs to explore how deep spiritual practice can meet the urgent call of our planet. Cynthia shares the story behind her book Summoned by the Earth, her life-changing encounter with a lama in a cave in Nepal [to whom she asked the question], and how the sacred practice of Earth Treasure Vases has carried her around the globe in service to healing.

Together, Rebekka and Cynthia reflect on:

• What it means to name Gaia as our guru
• How personal callings may guide us into action
• The balance between meditation, sacred activism, and everyday choices
• Simple but profound ways anyone can reconnect with the Earth and find their own path of service
• and more!

This conversation is an invitation to listen more deeply to the Earth, to honor the callings of your own heart, and to remember that each of us is a holy vessel for healing.

Hey, Rebekka here! This is a special episode that is dedicated to my dad, David Mars on his birthday! *Trigger warning* - This is an episode based on the death of a parent, though I do feel like my spin on it is inspiring and more uplifting than sorrowful; it still is what it is so please listen with care.

He'd be 79 in earth years today as this is released! It's taken some time since his passing in October 2023 to learn how to stay connected - and, this episode shares just a few of the many signs I've received to know he's still right here along with other ways to feel more into the part of life that never dies, life itself, as it just changes form. Grief is real, and, as I've personally experienced is a way to feel even more into what life's all about.

Covering my recent deep dive, of 1000s of hours and pages read and listened to on signs & synchronicities; afterlife; NDE's; heaven and more, this is no doubt not the last time I mention things like this! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!

A special episode release! This is a recording of an IG live from 7/10 by Rebekka on 'Lump In Throat - Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say'.

In this session, you'll go from recognizing what may be contributing to your own experiences with having a "lump in your throat" aka holding back your voice; what voice and expression actually is {not just auditory talking}; patterns of the past that may be the culprit; how to recognize other linked symptoms - anxiety / tightness in chest, gut issues, fear of being seen / success ; worthiness; confidence; and more!

Rebekka also shares for the first time some of her own breadcrumbs of her life that helped her heal and release the pattern of Self-abandonment specifically through speaking / and sharing her expression with the world.
