We spoke about Dr. Kim’s personal healing and academic journey from a pharmacist, the death of her parents, raising her son as a single mom, then deciding to study Traditional Chinese Medicine, getting a PhD in medical nutrition, being internationally certified in Iridology, becoming a Reiki master and finally becoming a Naturopathic Doctor where she experienced first signs of menopause in her last year of studies and have found a way to help herself and other people going through similar experiences with menopause. She is now writing a book and is in the process of collecting people’s stories. So if you have a story to share about your experience with menopause, do contact Tara at tarahealingroots.com.

In today’s episode, I spoke with Quebec born Buddhist Monk Jason Simard. 

We talked about how he discovered Buddhism at an early age when he realized that what he wanted most in life was to be happy and that he could not get that through external sources. He explains the origins of Buddhism from Sidhartha Gautama and how it became to be what it is today. He talked about how practices from Buddhism like meditation, loving kindness, compassion can be used and cultivated by anyone even if they do not identify as a Buddhist. He also explained the Buddhist concept of happiness and how this is different from western views of happiness. He answered questions about finding happiness even if you’ve had sexual trauma and other traumas and how to go about doing this. Lastly, we went over the next steps on how to find happiness, through meditation, loving kindness and compassion.

In today’s episode we talked about Dr. Edward’s story of coming out, the death of her father and awakening from the grips of alcohol addiction.

We talked about the four stages of awakening starting from drowsiness which she referred to as the millennial generation’s apathy, deep sleep being depression, the dream state being an outer body experience at the time of her father’s death  and finally the awakening. We also discussed mindfulness strategies in her book: A drink called mindfulness.

We talked about fear and the mindset change necessary to face our adversities and limiting beliefs. Andrew also  discussed the serendipitous moments of being open and curious to what life is communicating to you and this is how he ultimately founded the Andrew Hanoun method. We spoke about how trauma  affects our emotional, physical, mental body. Lastly, we talked about how to transform our traumatic experiences to the betterment of ourselves and others by first conditioning our minds to shift our emotions.
