Join me for this discussion with Tina Huang, PhD, a Holistic Brain Health Practitioner in Seattle, Washington. We talk about her methodologies and subtle energy she uses to bring about recovery. 

She does an experiment with me at the end to test distance healing.

Today’s guest is finishing a PhD dissertation, titled, “the social life of Traumatic Brain Injury”. 

His PhD is focusing on Medical Anthropology and Sociology through his own experience with TBI (traumatic brain injury), numerous interviews with survivors, their friends and family makers, and policymakers in Washington State.

One of the most fascinating things I learned in this interview is that the societal effects of TBI are demonstrated in his data, across all sets of Society. 

Rabbi Olivier Benhaim shares his experience of a heart attack and his sense of surprise after a heart attack. We discuss ideas of Fairness, Justice, Expectations, Planning, Attachment, Identity, Transitions, and we give recognition to the experiences of the loved ones of those who suffer major trauma. 

Traumatic experiences impact trauma sufferers’ loved ones too, something called Secondary Trauma. 

We also discuss Grief, the idea of “Falling from Grace”, Aging, Mourning, the machinery of the brain and the nature of thought, Kabbalistic principles about life, and we end the discussion with a guided meditation that I encourage you to try!

This episode is a discussion with Brad Yates about his Emotional Freedom Technique videos on YouTube, what inspired him to start making them, and you’ll discover his unique comedic training! 

This is the first podcast and I could not be more excited to introduce Seth Ellner.

In this podcast, Seth and I discuss how Trauma affects the brain, and in turn, how that comes out throughout one's life experience. We talk about what's happening in the brain when we're feeling stuck, how stuckness effects learning and motivation, a learn about EMDR therapy to unlock and process emotional stuckness/disassociation. 

Today I’m speaking with Dr. Carl Johan Calleman. He has a PHD in physical Biology, experience as a senior researcher, and is a published scientific author from the UW. 

I became interested in his writings about calendar systems, which came from my fascination with how humans perceive time, particularly folks who’ve been effecting by existential crises, PTSD, and trauma. For nearly 40 years, Dr. Calleman has been exploring how the Mayan calendar system correlates with consciousness shifts and biological evolution. 

Dr. Calleman is known for his theory that the Mayan calendar reflects the evolution of the global mind. He has dedicated his life to identifying the underlying evolutionary processes that govern human history and our individual lives, using the Mayan calendar as an inroad to some of the most fundamental problems of human existence. 

He is the author of several books, including: “the global mind and the rise of civilization”, and his most recent book, “the 9 waves of creation: Quantum physics, holographic evolution, and the destiny of Humanity”.

Dr. Blatman shares his expertise developed over 30 years in treating pain and provides a deeper understanding of what pain is, how pain presents itself (what I’ve heard called the façade of pain), and the difference between regular/acute pain and chronic pain.
