513 A Miserable To Magnificent Marriage; Sam and Paddy Cullinane

Wednesday Mar 11, 2020

Wednesday Mar 11, 2020

Sam and Paddy Cullinane have personal, real-life experience at taking marriage from miserable to magnificent. In fact, that is the title of their new book, Marriage: From Miserable To Magnificent. They were so miserable they went so far as to sign divorce papers. Due to an incredible turn of events, they are now one of the happiest couples they know. Their book is told in a practical, yet humorous format presented as He Said, She Said and followed by the science to support their conclusions (They Say). They share formulas to deal with conflict, arguments and fighting as well as a simple solution to improve your sex life. Sam and Paddy are also hosts of ‘The Not-So-Perfect Couple’ podcast.

  • Patrick: Sam Cullinane
  • Sam: Julianna Raye of Unified Mindfulness

Effect on Emotions

  • Sam: Well, mindfulness allows me to understand what I'm feeling to begin with because I think a lot of times I just let, I realized now that I've let my emotions sort of push me around in my life. Now I recognize I'm not my emotions. They are something that happens to me. So those recognitions have changed my life entirely.
  • Patrick: The feelings are real, but how you choose to react to the feelings, that's what you have control over. So the emotion is typically your choice in reaction or your body's physical reaction to the feelings.

Thoughts on Breathing

  • Patrick: Well, that's interesting because we spent a day with a Peruvian Shaman last year who talked to us about breathing and ever since he was talking to us about it, I see it. I'm like, oh my God, somebody told us about this last year and so he was talking to us about this now and so you know how the universe conspires to put things in front of you once you figure it out. Um, but yeah, we will use just taking a normal breath in a day where we're doing what, 28 percent capacity of our lungs and feeding your body. And so just forcing yourself to breathe when I feel any stress or laying there having trouble sleeping or any of that, I just breathe. I try to maximize my lung capacity, hold it for a little bit, oxygenate my body and then breathe out. Then I have to do that, focus on my breathing when I meditate.
  • Sam: It's amazing, but as soon as I take my mind to my breath, I'm in the moment. It's immediate. So I love to use that in meditation. I use it if I get frustrated, I focus on the breath. Breath is instrumental in my life and my mindfulness practice.

Effect on Emotions

  • I think the thing that is important here is letting go of what you think.
  • The more that I let go of what I think; that could be preconceptions, or a new thought that just comes at me, or just the busyness and the chatter, the more that I'm able to let go of that, the more welcome I feel toward emotional energy and it's content.
  • I feel the practice of that is a very safe thing, instead of always trying to keep the emotions I don't want out of my space.

Thoughts on Breathing

  • Early on, I had a piano teacher explain to me that a melody on the piano is being made by hitting things and the challenge is to make that melody sing.
  • To be able to sing it, you have to breathe it. Even though I'm playing a percussion instrument, I find myself breathing and inspired by the music so I'm breathing in the same phrasing that a singer might be breathing.
  • I had a band teacher teach me about diaphragmatic breathing and so I've always had this ability to breathe deeply.

Suggested Resources

Bullying Story

  • When I was in first grade I walked to and from school. I was always interrupted on my walk by these older guys who would grab my arm and twist it behind my back.
  • Once I left school at lunch and went home because I didn't want to encounter the bullies. You need to reach out and say to somebody who has authority, ‘this isn't right, this needs to stop.'
