"It is a scientific fact that these macaques, like all other primates, including humans, are communicating. They communicate in much the same way we do - facial expressions, vocalizations, body postures, those kinds of things." - Jeff Kerr Jeff Kerr is PETA foundations Chief Legal Officer. I asked him to come on the show to talk about one of PETA’s current lawsuits against the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Nathional Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). PETA is arguing that the monkeys being tested on in a government run facility are capable of communication (or “are communicating”). And that we have a constitutional right under the First Amendment to receive their communications. This could be a game changer in allowing us to see what’s really going on in labs that are funded by taxpayer money, and which have so far been censored from public view. PETA’s lawsuit follows years of NIH’s attempts to deny Freedom of Information requests banning PETA executives from its campus and illegally censoring animal advocates’ speech on NIH’s public social media pages. Through the lawsuit, PETA is seeking a live audio-visual feed to see and hear real-time communications from the macaques who have been kept isolated, used in fear experiments, and had posts cemented into their heads. Anthropologists and other scientists have studied macaque and other primate communications for decades and know that the monkeys communicate effectively and intentionally through lip smacking, fear grimaces, body language, and various cries and sounds—all of which constitute speech under the law. Primatologists can analyze that speech on a deeper level to share their stories with the world.…

Ep 47 (Take 2) - Breathwork for Sleep: Body Scan Meditation and Gentle Breathing 26:46

47 weeks ago26:46

26:46

This episode is a rerecording of episode number 47. It recently came to my attention that the audio quality in some of the previous episodes is not great. I record and edit all the episodes of this podcast myself, while trying to juggle a busy professional and family life. I didn't do as good a job of this as I could have at times. The audio quality here should be a bit better, and I do apologize to anyone who has listened to an episode with poor quality in the past. The simple body scan and gentle breathing meditation begins at 2.16 Instagram: @brianbmalone Patreon: thebreathworkclub Music: Gareth Quinn Redmond…

Ep 41 Let It Be - A Grounding Breathing Practice 14:24

14:24

In mindfulness, there is a distinction made between two states of mind - the doing mode and the being mode. The doing mode is characterised by problem solving and activity. The being mode is a state of mind where we allow things to be as they are. Both are important, but if we spent too much time in the doing mode it can be draining, and it is often not the best way to support our inner well being. Our breathing can be a lovely way to access the being mode, and this practice is based on this Music by Gareth Quinn Redmond https://garethquinnredmond.bandcamp.com/ If you like to support the production of this podcast you can do so by becoming a member on patreon for a small monthly donation www.patreon/thebreathworkclub www.thebreathworkclub.ie…
