In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Dr Piero Calvi-Parisetti, a medical doctor, who upon hearing an anecdote about his wife experiencing poltergeist activity, began to investigate research indicating survival beyond death.

Through his personal journey of using cognitive behavioural therapy to overcome depression, Piero discovered that by becoming aware of our thought processes and exposure to new information, we have the potential to heal. This motivated him to use this understanding, alongside research, to support others experiencing grief. Piero created a resource ‘Love Knows No Death’ which he donated to the Forever Families Foundation, as a way of sharing this information.

Piero can be contacted through his website www.drparisetti.com

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Significant aspects of the human personality appear to survive death.
• Exposure to survival research can assist individuals with their grieving process.
• There is a significant amount of research into survival beyond physical death.
• Our thoughts create our feeling states.
• A belief in life after death can provide comfort and assist with grief.
• Being curious and having the ability to learn and explore is a beautiful part of human experience.

BEST MOMENTS

• “I'd say all this because to stress that I am a Western educated medical doctor, i.e. I grew up in an intellectual environment which is dominated by materialism and physicalism... a simple philosophical doctrine that maintains that everything that exists...is matter.”
• “Unfortunately, I did not have a spiritually transformative experience, I did not see a ghost. I did not meet God or anything. It was a simple anecdote narrated by my wife.”
• “Evidence tells us that personality survives physical death...we have... colossal amounts of evidence from about 12 different independent areas of investigation, all pointing coherently and consistently to this survival hypothesis.”
• “This information has a phenomenal, transformative potential for two categories of people, those who are in pain over the loss of a loved one, and those who are in fear over impending death, either their own or a loved one.”
• “I suffered from severe clinical depression for about a year and a half. Frankly, suicidal, and I was cured.”
• “But it was also very significant intellectually because having learned about the relationship between thoughts. and moods, thoughts, and emotions. I always thought that emotions came first and thought came later. Well, that is obviously not the case”
• “That death is not the end of existence, it's the end of material existence, ourselves, our mind, our memory, our thoughts, our personality, and critically for people who have had a loss, our affections go on existing after the death of the physical body.”
• “I encourage people to read, to learn, to study, to explore. It's beautiful.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Dave Carson who is a hypnotherapist and Integral Eye Movement Therapist who creates subliminal recordings and helps clients to understand their self-talk and how this can be transformed to help them live more fulfilling lives.

During this discussion Dave, highlights the importance of learning to communicate with ourselves in a positive and nurturing way to benefit our physical and psychological well-being.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We often develop negative self-talk through the interactions that we have in childhood.
• By removing ourselves from our day-to-day environment it can give us space to discover things about ourselves.
• Once you have recognised the loop of negative self-talk you can do something to change it.
• Negative self-talk can cause psychological and physical ailments.
• When you begin to like yourself, it helps your confidence to grow.
• It can be useful to observe your thoughts and make a note of the themes within them.
• The mind is incredibly powerful in giving us what it thinks we want or need.

BEST MOMENTS

• “You probably won't meet anyone as joyful and happy as me today.”
• “I grew up in a quite an unusual environment. It was very negative. I was always told that I was never going to be able to attain anything. I was stupid. So, I grew up, basically believing this about myself, which does not help in life.”
• “I went to an ashram for six months in India, away from everything, you know. I mean, this was back in 1999, so we didn't really have social media like we have now. But it was just fantastic to go to this place, and it was like a dream come true, I was meditating every day, and I was doing yoga. I met some incredible people. And I was really able to spend that time to go within myself.”
• “Everyone's different, you know, everyone's individual.”
• “Now you've come to a realisation that you do have choice within situations. How do you get yourself to that point where you recognise that? You know what? It's because my epiphany told me that all of this was illusionary, right?”
• “And once you've broken that loop and you've got that awareness of this, then you have choice.”
• But I have to say, you know, one of the most helpful things that's really helped me along my journey, is positive self-talk and recognizing negative self-talk. I do believe this is a bit of a pandemic in the world today. I believe it's responsible in some shape or form for all psychological and physical ailments. I truly believe it's very overlooked and not talked about enough, which is why I want to talk about it.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Nicola Ellwood who is a Master Coach and NLP Master Practitioner.

From an early age Nicola discovered that she had the innate skill of communicating effectively with others; something which was nurtured within her professional career, as she acquired skills in personal and leadership development. Through this work she unearthed the transformational power of coaching, assisting people to move, progress and make the changes they want to make both personally and professionally, therefore enabling them to be their best self and reach their potential.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• High quality coaching can help you action your goals and realise your potential.
• Communication skills are important in all areas of life.
• When you make a commitment to yourself, you can make massive positive changes.
• When those at the top of an organisation are clear about their goals and work on themselves, that has a positive impact throughout the organisation.
• It is important that coaches have worked on themselves so that they can be at their best for their clients.
• Coaching can give you mental flexibility.
• We have the resources within us, coaching can help us access them.

BEST MOMENTS

• “I was asked to manage a team of coaches and that's where I discovered coaching. And, and I just loved it, and I thought, right, well, if I'm going to manage it, I kind of need to know the depth of it. I really want to know what it is that I'm talking about.”
• “When you're dealing with personal coaching, you're dealing with the person's life. So, if you're not skilled, competent, and flexible with the breadth of tools, techniques and the ability to be completely client centred, then you're doing your client a disservice, potentially, because you're muddying it with your lens or your experience or your world.”
• “Sometimes if you're quite people centred, you're quite externally validated.”
• “To have, you know, almost someone telling me that my instinct was right. It was the first time where I ever really tuned in and became more congruent with myself.”
• “I choose to work in the executive leadership space because my belief is if I can use who I am and if I can use my skills to help people, towards the top of the organization, then that's going to filter through the organization, it's going to affect more people.”
• “Many people come to me wanting to thrive, you know, believing, that presupposition that we hold, which is, you know, whatever we think we are, we are capable of so much more, you know, we're so much more than we think we are.”
• “I would say you already have it within you, whatever it is that you want, whatever it is that you think you need, you already have it. Ask yourself what you want and ask yourself a time when you've had it before because it's pretty likely that you've had it before. You have all the resources within you to be who you want to be."

After rushing around and attempting to do it all, Joanna became ill with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

• “I felt a great deal of shame about getting so sick when I kind of should have known better because I was caring for other people's mental health and the knock-on effects on their physical health and yet managed to get so ill myself.”
• “And so, I sort of created it as, you know, a gentle way of living for people, for communities, and for the planet.”
• “I realized that actually a big part of what people need is community and, places to be together with other people who, you know, want to live more gently, to sort of share ideas, but also to learn practices of rest.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Samantha Dolling who is a medical herbalist, reader, energy healer, and witch.

During their discussion Sam notes how she has been drawn into researching the lives of witches throughout history and has developed a calling to heal the witch wound within herself and within others. Sam highlights that the historical treatment of witches still has an impact and plays a role within modern society, with many individuals feeling afraid to tune into their energy, wisdom and magic due to the perception of others.

To help overcome this, Samantha notes that it is important to connect in with what you enjoy, find like-minded individuals that you can share openly with, and also to do the self-healing work that you require.

• “They were just women who were natural healers and midwives, herbalists, and people who knew that there was energy.”
• “And you know, these doors are opening, but they're opening as well because we're moving through a time where we need to heal karma. You know, we need to rid everybody of all their karma so we can move into a more peaceful way of living.”
• “And these women are our ancestors, you know, we're all connected, all of us, and these are real women with real children and real lives.”
• “There's no wonder that many of us who have come down to earth at this time are here to find our voice again.”
• “The water holds energy and consciousness, the trees, you know, it's all just energy, whether we call it, energy or whether we call it quantum physics, science. It's the same thing, isn't it? It's just different ways of practicing and there's no right way and no wrong way, you know, we're all different, but we all have something to give.”
• “We're all supposed to be in jobs and living our life with things that are fun. You know, we're not meant to be doing a job from eight till six every day that we absolutely detest just to pay for the roof over our head.”

• “And when she passed away, it was, I will honestly say, it was some of the darkest times of my life ever. And then I sat there one night thinking, well, yeah, okay, I've lost somebody, but they have as well. So, the students have lost a mentor, a friend, a confidant, that sort of thing. So, I went back and opened the doors, and it was one of the hardest things I've done.”
• “Reiki gives you that bit of extra confidence.”
• “Healers need healing too. It's as simple as that. We are not infallible; we are only human. For me, there's five, ten minutes, you know, sitting down, cup of coffee, hand on your heart, just topping your energy up.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with John Bowtell who helps individuals explore their emotions through the use of drama and play using developmental transformations.

Through his theatre background, John became aware of dramatherapy, a type of psychotherapy; and how the intentional use of drama techniques and ideas could assist in the therapeutic encounter.

During his work with his clients, John becomes a part of the unfolding drama to safely co-create the experience with his clients, exploring whatever roles or scenarios are relevant to meet their therapeutic needs at that time.

• Drama therapy can be used to explore different power structures within our lives and within society.
• Play is important for wellbeing.

BEST MOMENTS

• “It's something that kind of comes naturally. So, I think of drama as an art form. It's the one that's closest to normal life. So actually, we're all doing, you know, we're doing an improvisation now. We're playing our roles, we're performing. This is very natural human activity.”
• “But in order to do your role effectively, it's going to change in relation to your client. So, the way that you show up for one client is different from the way you show up for another client.”
• “It's much more fun playing the bad guys, playing the people that you're not, right? And you can then present aspects of yourself that are not socially acceptable or they're not potentials that you can bring forward in your everyday life.”
• “These things, if they're unexplored or unexpressed, then they can cause blockages in us.”
• “Basically, we agree it's pretend. We agree that it's play. It's not for real. That's the deal. It's defined by restraining from harm.”
• “This is a kind of everyday miracle to me. That however heavy the material is, actually it can all be played with, and it can all be transformed.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Nawab Pasnak, the head of the International Sufi Movement.

During this conversation Nawab will discuss how he came to learn about the Sufi movement and how this led him to be a seeker of wisdom as he embarked on a process of purification, unlearning preconceptions and dogmas that he had been carrying around with him.

Nawab focuses on the importance of working on ourselves, unlearning the preconceptions and limiting beliefs that hold us back so that we can connect in to love, hope, and joy. A significant aspect of this is through connection to the breath and our intuition guiding us to recognise we are all connected.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The attitudes and assumptions that we learn throughout life can become a barrier to true connection with ourselves.
• When working on the heart it encourages compassion, kindness, generosity and acceptance.
• For our happiness, we need to recognise that we can control our mind, and we can change it.
• Our breath is a current of energy that flows through us which his directed through our words, thoughts, actions and feelings.
•  When we listen to our intuition, we discover a connection that we are part of everything and everything is part of us.

BEST MOMENTS

• “So if we think that Sufi is about wisdom, then it means that it's someone who is looking for wisdom, not somebody who claims to have wisdom, because anybody who says they're wise is obviously a fool.”
• “There's a couple of chronic illnesses that the world suffers from right now. One is that we think too much, or we overthink everything. Another is that we're extremely materialistic. We try to quantify and measure everything, and it's all in terms of our sensory experiences, which is always limited, that can only take you so far. And the third illness, common chronic illness that we suffer from, that the world suffers from, is to have a frozen heart.”
• There's meant to be a stream, a well that flows out of the heart, but you have to dig for it, because often the well has been, you know, there's a lot of sediment in there, and you have to dig down. And if you're willing to do the work and get through the mud that you do encounter when you start to excavate your heart, then in time the stream flows, and that flowing helps to purify the channel.”
• “If you're playing with a child, if the child says something rough or hurtful, well, you wish they would behave better, and you try to teach them better behaviour, but you don't feel crushed because a child says something rude to you. Well, in fact, most of the world, with all love and respect to them, they're still children."
• “The spirit of guidance works on different levels. On the physical level, spirit of guidance, you could say is about reflexes... When the Spirit of Guidance speaks through what we call our mind, we call it intuition. And if we listen, our hearing becomes sharper. We begin to hear more messages.”

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Carol and Don Harradine who practice Tai Chi, Qigong, and a range of Malaysian arts.

A number of years ago Carol suffered an injury during a sword fencing competition. Looking for gentle exercise to aid her recovery, she stumbled upon a Tai Chi class. After they both attended the classes, they were amazed by the benefits, which encouraged them to pursue 33 years of studying various energetic wellbeing practices. As part of this journey they have followed the Sufi path, helping them to incorporate a spiritual element to everything they do.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Tai Chi and Qigong can be used for spiritual development, health and wellbeing, concentration and self-discipline.
• We get the most benefit when we practice any well-being and healing practices regularly.
• Having an awareness of the breath helps with healing and balance within the system.
• There is an overlap and a connection between different philosophies and forms of well-being practice.
• The breath is the essence of everything.

BEST MOMENTS

• “So there's no excuses anymore for people saying, I can't do that. As long as you can sit up straight or lie straight or whatever, you can breathe and you can concentrate, then you can do qigong, tai chi.”
• “It's really trying to be a pupil of humans because what you have to do is you listen to people and find out what they want to achieve, what we think they need. And then we try to give them that. It's easy being a teacher, but the truth of it is, you've got to go back and you've got to be a pupil, you've got to study and you've got to study the people that come along to you.”
• “If you can breathe properly, if you can just imagine for a while that what you're breathing in is not just gas and chemicals, but it's an energy.”
• “So you're breathing that energy in. And then you're moving that energy around the body, and you know, and some people take it further, they move the energy around and they give it to other people.”
• “Trust me, your mind wanders off and you have to bring it back. It's one of the most hardest things. So all of this is teaching you willpower to do that.”
• “To get the real benefits, you have to do a little bit very often, a little bit, and the old Chinese masters always say, it's like putting down a piece of rice paper on the ground, put a bit down one day, two days, three days. After a year, you can actually see you've got a pile of paper.
• “So, when you start to think about your thoughts, and then to say those thoughts, you have to have breathe to say the thoughts, to say the words, and that then gives you the impetus for the good deeds."
• “Get to the nuts and bolts of them all and dig deep. You'll find the same message and philosophy going through the whole thing.”
• “Live your life by that, good thoughts, good words, resulting good deeds.”
