This led him to seek to understand more about the nature of the problem and find the best ways to keep himself healthy and reduce suffering and imbalances in his own life, and in the lives of others. Ryan is passionately curious and continues learning and exploring. He has a deep appreciation for the opportunity to be alive and knows that practicing a state of gratitude is one of the most important things we can do for a healthy life. He aims for balance and ways to minimize suffering in his own life and in the lives of others. Practicing breath awareness has allowed him to be more present and to have more autonomy.Connect with RyanWebsite: http://breathe4flow.com/Check us out at Highlyoptimzed.meJoin our free Facebook group hereThank you to Freedom Builderz for Making this Podcast Possible!Building online platforms for visionaries & influencers.https://www.freedombuilderz.com/For the best Cannabis Products and Gear check out Headshop.com and use promo code HIGHLY for discounts!  This episode was produced by Mazel Tov Media in Quincy, Massachusetts.Subscribe to The Highly Optimized PodcastSubscribe to This One Time on Psychedelics Podcasthttps://www.highlyoptimized.com@therealryansprague
