As you can tell from the title of this show, I recently caught Covid. Right now, I’m on day three of my Covid Triathlon, and, despite a couple of sleepless nights, I’m feeling well enough to work out and record an episode chronicling the stages of my illness and setting out the protocol I followed to stay strong and minimize the symptoms of headache, fever, backache, and fatigue.

In this first episode of 2022, I set out my goals for the New Year and focus on my intentions to dig deeper into my purpose, be of service to others, and connect to my higher self. This year, I’ll be concentrating on maximizing my energy and strengthening my intuition, and I’ll be sharing my thoughts on how to attract peace, joy, and abundance by living a more authentic and fulfilling heart-centered life.

In this solo show, I explore what living the simple life on the Caribbean island of St. John taught me about health and fitness and how it laid the foundations for everything I believe in today. Back then, walking was my primary form of transportation, and my frugal diet was the result of a lack of funds rather than a desire to experiment with intermittent fasting. However, looking back, I realize just how much my diet, my outdoor lifestyle, and my disconnection from technology helped me to recover from the grim prognosis I’d been given about my neurological health. Not surprisingly, I’m now committed to incorporating the lessons I learned from my time on St. John into every aspect of my life. So, in today’s show, I consider how living an embodied, purposeful Blue-Zone type lifestyle can contribute to your health and happiness.

In this week’s show, I speak with EFT practitioner and certified kundalini yoga instructor Amy Piper about using the Emotional Freedom Technique to help people heal from trauma and work through emotional pain. Since she started her Tapping for Truth practice in 2017, Amy has seen the difference that ‘tapping’ can make to her clients’ lives, and today she offers online EFT training and certification programs to share this transformative technique with others. 

We dive into the history and evolution of EFT as a healing tool and discuss its potential to help people release negative emotions and overcome limiting beliefs. We also talk about setting intentions and using yoga, acupuncture, and meditation to complement EFT therapy.
