This is the first of four parts of a two hour webinar hosted by Adrian Beckingham on the theme of The Webinar: Ancient Tribal Voice Medicine Stories For Pain Management & Healing (Part1). First recorded live on Sunday December 8. In this section Adrian gives some background to how his unique career of over 30 years as a Master Storyteller of ancient spoken word stories from the many indigenous tribal groups he has worked with globally, came to the fore when he was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma cancer.  He declined immunotherapy, instead combining the teachings from the ancient stories with self-crafted meditations. He has now been cancer free over 3 years  and also uses the same techniques to control pain.  Read more about the online course course  Ancient Tribal Voice Medicine Story Pathways To Aid Pain Relief & Healing here:  https://mythtomiracle.thinkific.com/courses/ai-placeholder-5

You just can't keep some champions down! Matt Follain was a single father and pro-fighter, martial arts journalist and even featured in some martial arts films on the big screen. He ran a busy martial arts school and cage-fight team when suddenly his life was turned upside down with a horrific incident. A car sped over him and dragged him along the street. Matt sustained life-changing injuries including the loss of a foot. This led to daily chronic pain, long term hospitalisations, and a sense of despair over the loss of his identity as a hands-on dad and martial arts instructor. Matt discusses these themes, along with how he became addicted to the opiod pharmaceuticals prescribed by his doctors. Only when he had a seizure in front of his daughter did Matt take up the challenge to halt his addiction, then discover the path to a new life where breathwork and meditation helped him to regain control of his pain and identity.

A traditional tale for people living through uncertain tides... Across the generations, across the millennia, repeating tides of calamity have poured in upon humanity. Yet always the people have persevered. How did they rekindle life's joy back then, time and again, and how may we do so now?  This is that story.

Recorded to the song of our community fire before a live audience at The Meadow Orchard Project, London (12/12/21) this story of earth creation comes from the Hopi Native American people. This episode of their story tells how the very first worlds of physical nature were formed, how the first humans were created, and how modern day people can turbo charge their own dream manifestation to help their wishes come true.

This special edition of The Man From Story Mountain podcast carries a dual purpose: firstly, to pay my respects to those who fell in World War 1 as today (November 11, Armistice Day) marks the anniversary of the day that war ended; secondly, to continue playing my part for the ending of the conflicts which are currently raging in Gaza, Ukraine, and other arenas of war worldwide. Since this episode was recorded, the conflict has spread to Lebanon, Iran, and other countries; Korean soldiers have joined Russian forces in Ukraine.  This podcast episode represents a stark warning that we forget history's lessons at our dire peril. It looks at THE Armistice Day of November 11, 1918 through the eyes of my historical-fiction novel 'War Pigeons: WP&Me'. The wonderful voice of narrator Rafe Beckley reads Chapter 10: 'Peace Pigeons' . This novel, written for young adults, was my attempt to celebrate continuing peace, and was originally published as a paperback on the centennial of the ending of the First World War. It follows a London family and how the war impacted their lives, Chapter 10 sees peace come at last and the declaration of the Armistice. For more information, or to receive a full copy of the audiobook, follow this link: War Pigeons 1: WP & Me by Adrian Beckingham - Audiobook - Audible.co.uk
On the day this podcast was originally recorded November 11, 2023) London saw potentially the largest peace march in British history. Ordinary people took to the streets to join other protestors gathering worldwide, to demand an end to the genocide and crimes against humanity currently taking place in Palestine at the hands of the Israeli military. This is not a war WITH Gaza but rather a war ON Gaza, because Palestine has no army, navy nor airforce to fight back. One Gazan child dies every 10 minutes under Israeli bombardments. My book for young adults is a call for peace - may my solitary attempt be clamored out by the rising tide of similar voices in every domain of human life and culture. Our very own 'Cruella' Suella - the then UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman - called the pro-Palestinian marches 'Hate Marches', totally missing the point that these people marched for peace and against acts of violence; in her similar vein of totally missing the point where this privileged politician attempted to legislate our police to remove tiny city tents from homeless people - Cruella Suella calls homelessness, "A lifestyle choice". Cruella soon lost her job, however now, a year later on 11/11/24 attempts to relieve the rising tide of homelessness is pushing numerous London councils to the brink of bankruptcy.  This episode will avoid current politics, whilst upholding the mantle of a shared humanity where compassion - and peaceful activism against the ugliness of war in all its guises - holds sway. In peace and gratitude, thank you for listening.
