For years now we have heard messages of empowerment and spiritual insight. The way to higher consciousness has many paths, but one we have heard about for years is the AIM Program. We’ll talk to Evan Slawson, one of the founders of the AIM Program and the co-author of “Sanctuary: The Path to Consciousness” with Stephen Lewis. We think you’ll find his take on Energetic Balancing in the spiritual context to be not only fascinating, but useful in your everyday life.

PTSD affects about 3.6% of the US population, which is roughly around 8 million people. 1 in 13 people will develop PTSD in their lifetime. How is the ‘Hidden Wound’ or ‘Silent Scream’ affecting those who are experiencing trauma daily, like our first responders? And what is being done to help them?

Tune in for another Encore Edition of Love From The Hyp (originally aired 3/6/19) to hear how Rodger Ruge battled with PTSD which was a result of the accumulated trauma he witnessed as a police officer. Rodger shares how PTSI -Post Traumatic Syndrome Injury started to creep into his life and overwhelm him, when he first became aware of what it was, and how he eventually overcame it.

Rodger is a Podcast Host of HeroTalk, Author, Certfied Stress Management Practitioner & Retired Police Officer. He will share why addressing trauma and providing techniques, tools, and therapy is vital for the mental health & wellness of first responders and military service members. Yet, he will also reveal how challenging it is to ask for help as a first responder and the ramifications that come with it. In addition, he will touch on tips and tools which helped him, as well as the platform he came to provide for other first responders and military service members in order to bring more healing into their lives. You won’t want to miss this inspiring interview!

After a decade of studying the plasticity of the brain at Universities of Vienna (A), Bamberg (D), Jena (D), and St. Andrews (UK), Dr. Stella Wuttke, with her Ph.D. in Psychology combines her scientific background with ancient Vedic knowledge when using methods such as neurofeedback and Sound-Vibration Therapy. Sound-Vibration Therapy supports the body and mind on a vibrational level with tuning forks to go into balance and energetic harmony. This way it supports mental and physical flexibility and well-being, As a pioneer in bio- and neurofeedback, Marty developed his unique and holistic approach to Neurotherapy Wuttke Method based on over 40 years of experience in the field. Beginning as a deeply committed meditation teacher, he quickly saw the need for adding a scientifically based, neurophysiological component to catalyze meditation training and help meditators reach a freer and happier life. Marty was affiliated with Ridgecrest Hospital and Woodridge Psychiatric Hospital from 1983 to 1995, where he designed and directed the first large-scale inpatient neurofeedback program in the United States. Neurofeedback was used at the hospital as an integral part of the treatment program for over 11 years. Marty was responsible for the neurofeedback intervention program, including QEEG evaluation, analyses, and application. More than 1500 patients went through his neurofeedback training. Marty is a pioneer in combining multiple protocols of neurofeedback training as a self-regulation tool for people suffering from a wide array of issues, including but not limited to anxiety, PTSD, OCD, depression, traumatic brain injury, eating disorders, chronic pain, anxiety, chemical dependency, and alcoholism. He continues developing, researching, and teaching neurofeedback applications for areas such as ADD/ADHD, learning disabilities and developmental disorders, autoimmune disorders, and stress-related disorders. In 2003, new advanced whole-body neuro/biofeedback technology hardware and software were developed under Marty’s guidance. Since 1990, Marty has taught Neurotherapy in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Ukraine, Thailand, and Mexico. He has been a trainer and keynote speaker for organizations such as the Georgia and Greater Washington Associations of Applied Psychophysiology and the Menninger Clinic.
