This 8-week program helps individuals understand the connection between the mind and body to balance and integrate thought and emotion.

Breath, Light, Attuned, Sound "BLAST "- Bio-Feedback
One of the core principles of my work is activating and balancing the vagus nerve through vagal toning. By engaging a biometric feedback loop between voice, body, breath, and presence, I help individuals attune their vagus nerve and access non-ordinary states of consciousness. This process encourages them to explore their thoughts, feelings, ideas, and concepts on a deeper level, ultimately guiding them to a higher transpersonal state of consciousness.
My focus with clients is on preparing, activating, and integrating their experiences in a safe, effective, and transformative way. I ground my approach in some of the principles involved with digital therapeutics, which allow individuals to reach a higher state of consciousness using technology as a tool for self-discovery, mindfulness, and personal growth. While technology assists in breaking through old patterns, I believe that it is the sharing and reframing of stories and narratives that truly builds new patterns.
The Entheodigital tools I use “SoundSelf” encompass a range of techniques and practices designed to help clients explore their inner world and connect with their higher selves. From breathwork and meditation to sound healing and neurofeedback, I offer a variety of modalities tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs.
Ultimately, my work is centered on helping clients access their full potential and live more fulfilling lives. By incorporating Entheodigital, SoundSelf technology tools and practices, I provide a safe and effective path for individuals to delve into their inner world and connect with their higher selves, leading them to a higher transpersonal state of consciousness. Entheodigital tools offer Breath, Light, Attunement, and Therapy, what I’ve labeled as BLAST, help individuals with their journey work without the use of medicines.

The Mindfulness Experience (MEx) podcast
Every two weeks, we delve into the world of Mindfulness Experience (MEx) concepts and explore their application in our daily lives. We comprehensively examine mindful experiences and their impact on neurology, physiology, biology, psychology, philosophy, and mythology. Our exploration of mindfulness considers how it affects the body, mind, spirit, food, sleep, environment, and relationships in a holistic bid to create a more balanced and fulfilling life. The areas we will strongly focus on include trauma, addiction, entheogens, empathogenic, and psychedelics. We recognize the powerful impact of these substances on individuals and society as a whole. By implementing mindfulness, we can better approach these experiences, heal from trauma, and battle addiction. Entering into empathic and psychedelic states through substances such as psilocybin can help to facilitate a transformational experience, leading to greater self-awareness and a more profound understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
What our clients are saying…
Keith Fiveson has made a significant positive impact on the wellness of the BDI team. Keith led us through weekly mindfulness meditation sessions throughout the pandemic that resulted in having our team feel more connected with each other, despite the challenges of working in a remote environment. Keith’s teachings educated us on the science behind mindfulness while providing a much-needed respite from the daily hustle and bustle of working for a busy marketing agency. I received very positive feedback from our employees on a regular basis about Keith’s sessions. I fully recommend Keith’s services to any organization looking to incorporate mindfulness into an employee wellness program.
Keith is a fantastic mindfulness teacher and coach! Working with Keith on projects for clients was always fun and impactful. He would conduct a discovery call to understand their needs and tailor his curriculum to meet them. This led to many experiences clients rated highly. It was a total delight to watch Keith do his magic and help “center the room” into one calming vibration. As an added bonus, work teams walked away refreshed with tools to help center themselves as needed. Thank you for your wonderful partnership, Keith!
I have had the pleasure of working with Keith for the past year and all I can say is that its been a life changing experience. He has opened the door to mindfulness for me and continued to help coach me both in business and life. Truly a fantastic person and coach! Highly recommend!
I have been working with Keith for over a year now and can not recommend him enough for people who are looking to use mindfulness to better their lives. Keith has an extensive background in meditation and wellness and uses his experience to guide you to uncover what it is you want to make better in your life. I have really enjoyed learning to meditate and to slow down my busy life to enjoy all the world has to offer. After practicing for this time I realize how important it is to spend time taking care of yourself first and then prioritze helping others.

Keith is a thoroughly decent, bright, empathetic man whose insights and coaching helped me to find some clarity and peace during a rough patch in my life and gave me some tools to help deal with stress and anxiety through mindfulness. I would enthusiastically recommend Keith to anyone looking for counseling and coaching.
First off I would like to say how grateful I am for even here, able to write a review for such a wonderful person. Throughout my 10+ years of struggle with addiction, I finally decided to reach out to someone for help, I searched for hours trying to find the write person to contact. I finally game across Keith’s bio where I found I was able to relate to the same philosophies as Keith. Keith was very professional, helpful and understanding from the very first phone call. After I initial call, I decided to get a package of sessions that would change my life forever. Keith helped me not only with dealing with myself being comfortablw with myself, letting me know it was ok; that everyone has issues no ones life is perfect, but he helped jump start my new life and career. Without him I honestly don’t know if I would be where I am today. If you can’t decide on weather to speak to someone or if you are iffy about speaking to someone, trust me just give it a try, you have nothing to lose and I can bet my Last dollar Keith will help in more than you’ll ever know. I highly recommend him. Thank you again Keith for all you have done.
