        • How to Chill Out with Tapping

          Survey - Please, Please take a couple of minutes to complete this!

          Does it sound familiar to constantly feel overwhelmed and stressed, struggling to find a sense of balance in life? Perhaps you've been told to simply calm down or think positive in order to manage your emotions, only to find that these words offer little relief from the pain of constant stress and anxiety. The frustration of not being able to effectively regulate your emotions and find inner peace can be exhausting and disheartening. But there is hope. By learning and implementing effective emotional regulation techniques, you can finally experience the relief and balance you've been seeking.

          We have the ability to self-regulate, or self-soothe is another word. And not to underestimate how powerful the breath is. It really is so powerful for so many reasons. - Britany Connow

          In this episode, you will be able to:

          • Discover a holistic approach to wellness for a balanced life.

          • Learn effective techniques for emotional regulation and inner peace.

          • Prioritize the importance of self-care for overall well-being.

          • Acquire stress management tools to navigate life's challenges.

          • Find practical ways to achieve balance in all aspects of life.

          • Embrace the importance of self-care – Brittany's personal stories emphasize the need for self-care, even for health professionals. Listening to your body, recognizing the symptoms, and granting yourself rest are all crucial elements towards preventing burnout. A balanced approach to self-improvement reduces stress, fostering a state of calm and focus, which ultimately greatly contributes to overall health.

                  Birgitta Visser is the author of the book, BE-com-ing Authentically Me, a Soul Empowerment Coach, Light Language Healer and being Dutch, a bit of a bike messenger between the here and there delivering messages from the many Master Teachers integral to helping elevate the consciousness of humanity and the planet. She has often stumbled through the darkness of her own trauma, often walking through her own blistered hell, yet she soldiered on and to heal the demons that had taken up residence in the comfort of her own mind, she decided to take the holistic route, facing her many layers of pain head on. Birgitta hopes that people will awaken to what life is all about, unlocking their own potential and BE-com-ing authentically themselves.


                  She says, "The Universe is mental in nature, you are mental in nature, all that you create comes from the mental imagery of the mind, and thus one is the Alchemist of one’s own Creation.  Think what you wish to wish what you think and it shall be so.  We have been given the breath of life, don't squander it living merely on the surface of who you believe yourself to be, remaining within your own trauma, but deep dive into the hues of the beautiful soul that you are, letting go of all that weighs you down, resurfacing and returning to a love for ourselves and a joie de vivre for life."

                  12. How to Transform Yourself Through Music

                    Have you heard the myths about the healing power of music? Some believe that music can only soothe emotions, that it's only for relaxation, or that it can't really affect our physical health. Kevin Kraft will reveal the truth about the transformative effects of music on personal growth and healing.


                    Unlock the healing power

                    Music possesses the power to heal and transform. In this episode, Kevin Kraft shares how his personal challenges led him to discover the transformative power of music and sound. A profound experience at a concert illuminated the potential of music to bring about healing and his journey serves as inspiration for accepting adversities and turning them into unique gifts.

                    In this episode, you will be able to:

                    • Unlock the healing power of music for personal growth.

                    • Discover the sacred sound current and mantra for inner peace.

                    • Explore the connection between chanting and self-discovery.

                    • Experience the transformative power of sound and attention.

                    • Embrace challenges as opportunities for personal growth.

Kevin is the sounder and founder of Soundshala (www.soundshala.com), a unique mindfulness curriculum combining music, breathwork, movement and meditation to help achieve the mindful benefits of a sound yoga practice. This is evident in the soundscape of voice, gongs, crystal and Tibetan bowls, drums and other instruments that help us relax and release deeply into balance.

                      • Gongs

                      • Crystal Bowls

                      • Tibetan Bowls

                      • Harmonium

                      • Voice


                      Kevin’s practice is focused on consciously accessing the inner teacher and increasing the level of our own personal awareness. These practices help to release the body's mental and physical layers of tension we so often deeply hold onto. Through the practices of cultivating our listening skills, we grow amidst both the noise and the silence of vibration. We seek to re-establish health and harmony by un-obstructing the flow of prana through the body's energy channels and connecting to our innate divine essence that is our natural authentic self.
