3 Ancient Chinese Techniques to Melt Stress Instantly
26/04/2026 | 16 mins.
In Part 2 of her stress response series, Katie Brindle shares three advanced techniques to take you beyond "relaxed yet energised" and all the way into a state of bliss.
You'll learn:

Spiritual breathing — how to extend the rescue breath by lingering at the bottom of the exhale, charging that empty space with positive energy, and guiding every cell in your body into blissful harmony

Kindness as medicine — the Daoist concept of 3,000 good deeds, why kindness is its own reward, and how compassion and forgiveness diffuse the liver energy at the heart of the stress response

Crystals in your pocket — the simple practice Katie helped popularise in the UK, why the pericardium and heart points in your palm make this so effective, and how to cleanse your crystal at the end of each day

Katie shares how stress isn't the enemy. A little stress strengthens the body. It's how we respond to it that matters. These are simple, portable techniques you can use anywhere, because you're already breathing anyway.
If you haven't yet, listen to Part 1 first for the foundational techniques this episode builds on.

Drawing on the ancient Chinese Zi Wu energy clock, Katie reveals why the hours between 1 and 3am are so prone to wakefulness, which zodiac power animal governs that window, and how embodying its energy can pull you straight back into deep sleep. She walks you through the full buffalo meditation live, so you can practise it now and have it ready the moment you need it most.

Can You Sit Still for 10 Minutes? (Most People Can’t)
05/04/2026 | 16 mins.
Feeling wired, restless, and unable to switch off? This episode is your reset.
In this guided session, Katie Brindle shares a simple but powerful way to meditate — even if you’ve always struggled to “quiet your mind.” Because the truth is, most people aren’t failing at meditation… they’re just approaching it wrong.
Instead of forcing yourself to go from chaos to calm, Katie shows you how to meet your body where it is — using gentle movement, breath, and awareness to transition naturally into a deep state of rest.
Whether you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or just need a break from the noise, this is your permission to pause — and your guide to doing it properly.
Press play, get comfortable, and give yourself the rest your body’s been asking for.

The truth about strength training and muscle loss after 40

How to start lifting weights with zero experience

Perimenopause, cortisol, and why HIIT may be doing more harm than good
