One Breath Wisdom with Lisa McNett

Seasonal Allergies, Breathwork & Lung Health: The Truth About Your Immune System

In this episode, we explore the deeper truth behind seasonal allergies, lung health, and the role of the immune system—beyond what most people have been taught.
For years, I struggled with chronic congestion and allergies that never fully resolved, despite medication. It wasn’t until I began studying holistic health and living in an Ayurvedic environment that I understood what was really happening in my body.
In this conversation, I share how allergies are often connected to immune system overload, the health of the lungs, and how the body processes both physical and emotional input.
We also explore:
The connection between lung health and the immune system
Why seasonal allergies may be a sign of deeper imbalance
The role of breath in detoxification and regulation
Mouth breathing vs. nasal breathing and their impact on the nervous system
The emotional connection between the lungs and griefSimple ways to begin supporting your breath and overall health
This episode is an invitation to see your body differently—not as something that’s working against you, but as something that is constantly trying to clear, regulate, and restore balance.

A Full Mind Is Not A Clear Mind: Overthinking, Information Overload, and Mental Clarity

In today’s world, we are constantly consuming — books, podcasts, social media, trainings — always taking in more information. But does more information actually lead to more clarity… or is it creating more noise in the mind?
In this episode of One Breath Wisdom, Lisa McNett explores the relationship between information, thought patterns, and true wisdom. Inspired by a conversation with someone who read 1,000 books in five years, this episode invites a deeper question:
👉 Are you integrating what you take in… or just filling your mind?
Lisa dives into:
Why a full mind is not a clear mindThe difference between information and embodied wisdomHow overconsumption leads to mental noise and disconnection from your own inner knowing
Where thoughts actually come from — and how many are truly “yours”The mind as a receiver tuning into different frequenciesThe connection between nervous system state and thought patternsWhy creating space is essential for clarity, insight, and growth
 
This episode is a powerful reminder that more information does not equal more truth — and that what you may really need is not more input, but more space.
✨ If this resonates, take a moment after listening to pause, reflect, and notice your own thoughts.  💬 Join the conversation:

Non-Attachment, Neutrality, and the Most Loving Place to Meet Another Human Being

Non-Attachment, Neutrality, and the Most Powerful Way to Hold Space
What if the most loving thing you could offer someone isn’t empathy… or even love?
What if it’s neutrality?
In this episode, Lisa explores the deeper meaning of non-attachment — not as emotional detachment, suppression, or spiritual bypassing, but as the embodied capacity to hold presence without agenda.
Drawing from her work training facilitators at One Breath Institute, Lisa shares a powerful exercise she often guides students through: experiencing the difference between holding space from negative emotion, from love, and from neutrality.
Again and again, students discover something surprising.
Neutral often feels the safest, clearest, and most supportive.
Why?
Because neutrality removes projection, expectation, and unconscious pressure. It allows another person to access their own intelligence without being pulled into our emotional field.
In this episode, Lisa explores:
• The difference between neutrality and emotional detachment• Why sending “love” can sometimes feel heavy in therapeutic spaces• How attachment to outcomes subtly disrupts presence• The connection between neutrality and Buddhist non-attachment• Why facilitators must process their own emotions to hold clear space for others
True non-attachment doesn’t mean avoiding emotion.
It means allowing emotion to move fully through the body so we can return to a centered, grounded state of presence.
When we reach that place of neutrality, something profound happens:
The work becomes alive.
Clients access their own wisdom.
And healing unfolds naturally.
