In This Episode:

We examine the ways willingness can come in and change our lives for the better. 

The idea that we must be confident or build confidence when we start something new, or continue in a chosen arena is misleading. There is more to moving forward than confidence. What helps most is often being open to and willing to take the next step that presents itself to us. This can mean saying no to an opportunity that isn't aligned with our vision, or saying yes to what we are open to. Venturing down new ways of thinking and doing can seem daunting. If we open ourselves up and become willing to take one step, we begin on a path however narrow the opening might be. It all takes just one step at a time.

In This Episode:

We discuss how to approach your family during the holidays and beyond. We examine the triggers, and some strategies to approach scenarios with strength and a sense of satisfaction with how you choose to engage with family time. 

Kalyna discusses how Dr. Richard Schwarz's work with Internal Family Systems has aided in the recognition of the different parts of ourselves and how that can support our inner resiliency in challenging situations. 

We look at how IFS works (broadly) and consider its' applications when dealing with fear, feelings of judgment and triggering situations with family. 

The intention of the episode is to support you with showing up to family at any time of year with the support to feel like you can be in the situation and empowered rather than falling into typical family patterns. 

Enjoy!

In This Episode:

The fourth episode of our mini-series on healing modalities and medicines. This week we talk about German New Medicine and do a run through of the 5 Biological Laws Dr. Hamer created to describe his findings. 

We discuss different parts of the brain, two parts of the healing cycle of diseases and how trauma ignites disease in the body.

Kalyna discusses how Dr. Hamer's work has aided in the recognition of the mind-body connection and his interesting take on microbes like viruses, bacteria and fungi as a part of the healing phase of the body. German New Medicine recognizes the cosmos as having wisdom beyond our understanding and states that every disease has a purpose and meaning. 

We look at how GNM works, some basic facts about each law and also consider the backstory of Dr. Hamer himself. I do add a disclaimer that Dr. Hamer's work is not without controversy and if you want to know more about him as an individual you can certainly get further into his past and reasons for his controversial place in the world of medicine.

This week we talk about the Medicine Wheel and do a run through of the different healing practices used my indigenous communities around North America. There are over 2,000 tribes in North America alone although only around 500 are formally recognized. 

We discuss life's seasons, totem animals and compare it to the elements in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic principles. 

Kalyna discusses how we age into each season gracefully and the idea that we might be able to find more reverence and understanding for each season in our lives. Native American medicinal practices focus on creating harmony in the body, mind and spirit. People are meant to take responsibility for their health via their thoughts and actions. 

We look at some key inventions by Native American tribes in the medicine space that are used today by Western medicine. This healing modality incorporates nature's elements and plants, shaman and medicine healers, smudging and ceremonies, dance, and more.

This week we talk about Ayurveda and Chakras and do a run through of the three doshas and the chakra energy centres of the body.

We discuss Vata, Pitta and Kapha Doshas and compare it to the elements in Traditional Chinese Medicine.  

Kalyna discusses dietary choices to balance each dosha, personality traits and the seasons associated and the physical attributes and qualities related to each constitution. Most people align most closely to one dosha but we are all made up of all elements and thus doshas.

Ayurveda's core focus is to balance the elements in the body to create harmony.

We look at the seven main chakras in the body, root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown chakras. 

In considering the qualities of each one of these energy centres you will be introduced to a yoga pose which will open this energy centre, its' element and related life stage, the sound associated with the chakra and what it's meaning in your life is.

We're starting another mini-series on healing modalities and medicines. This week we talk about Traditional Chinese Medicine and do a run through of the five elements and their associated energy meridians (which are related to organs as well.) 

We discuss metal, earth, fire, water and wood and compare it to the elements in Humorism of the Ancient Greeks and Ayurvedic dosas. We will delve into Ayurveda next week. 

Kalyna discusses dietary choices to balance each element, personality traits and the seasons associated and the careers that may align with a certain elemental profile. Most people align most closely to one element but we are all made up of all elements. 

TCM's core focus is to balance the energy of the body, Yin and Yang forces, to create harmony in the body.

In This Episode:

A personal musing on the filters we add to our expression of ourselves. We wear metaphorical masks every day in society and while they do serve a purpose I'd like to examine how we use them. 

How do you show up in your personal relationships? 

Are you authentic and vulnerable with yourself about how you feel? 

Who's your inner circle who supports you in your darkest struggles and wildest joys? 

How much of yourself are you hiding away from the world? Brene talks about this as our "secret shame lives" when we feel not ok enough to share parts of ourselves with the world.

Are you living in shame of parts of yourself? If so, which parts do you feel you can't show to others? Why?

What's your greatest expression of yourself? 

Listen to consider these questions and more as I swirl around in my thoughts and contemplate sharing myself with the world.

Love yourself in the ordinary in your "me-ness." 

I suppose today's episode leaves more questions than answers but enjoy pondering them.
