{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Universal Lens","slug":"acceptthismoment","podcastDescription":"Join John F Emilio and Henry Beltra as they talk about life and your relationship with your mind. What started out as coffee table chats has evolved into a podcast about how we experience anxiety, unwanted thoughts, all emotions and feelings and how we react and don’t respond to them. If your tired of being a prisoner to your mind then come along with us and take a look behind the veil of thought. We will show you how mindfulness, awareness, acceptance and surrender are more then just words. Come along and listen in as we unravel the human mind and the attachments to it that cause unnecessary suffering and pain. John is a certified Life Coach and Mentor and a student of both therapeutic and spiritual modalities , learning Acceptance Commitment Therapy in a formal therapeutic setting and Spirituality from following teachers such as Eckhart Tolle, Ram Dass, Sadhguru and Thich Nhat Hanh . This path gave birth to his book The Universal Lens - A Journey to Transcend OCD, Anxiety and Mental Suffering. Henry also brings a world of real life experience, knowledge and has become a teacher or mindfulness in his daily life to those around him.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/15494415/Copy_of_Final_Version_The_Universal_lens_Banners_Landscape_1__ca4rqj.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/15494415/Copy_of_Final_Version_The_Universal_lens_Banners_Landscape_1__ca4rqj_1200x628.jpg?s=3e1ed809edee2003f1dd4ad33000248e&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://acceptthismoment.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/acceptthismoment/feed.xml","theme":"playlist2","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-fjecn-ec6d0f?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":15,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-05:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-5,"text":"(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/New_York"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":107,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"John F Emilio and Henry Beltra","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-fjecn-ec6d0f-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/just-b-e/id1656590115?i=1000589752476","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-fjecn-ec6d0f?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cfaca965-9766-4e02-bff7-620e39e134cc","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-universal-lens-4992667","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/102434","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Old Style"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#9417FF"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player2"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/8hvm6k8emxb79m7r/Final_Version_The_Universal_lens_2_682cd039-f21e-4693-1cc9-0a2384f1558a.jpg"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

Hey everyone. I am John the one on the left and Henry is the one on the right. We have both suffered with Anxiety, Depression and I with OCD. We are 2 everyday guys who have a fresh take on life , that if your willing can take you beyond the thinking mind and give you a glimpse of that peace we all have access to. What started out as afternoon conversations over coffee gave birth to this crazy idea of making a podcast in hopes we can reach out and be that relatable voice for others. I have gone thru traditional therapy and have been on more spiritual journey for some time now. I have been advocating and practicing for over 7 years bringing my experience to the table. Along with Henry we will start shining a light on that presence behind thought that we all have but most don't see.
