Shift with Shubhra Podcast

In this episode, I have been guided to discuss how the body manifests the emotions you are feeling when you feel them deliberately. And so once you understand how your body feels when it's deliberately feeling the emotion, imagine how the body moves into these states unconsciously.    Thus it is so important to begin discovering these links within your own physical system more and more consciously to then be able to take active control over your conscious states of being thus, taking control over your conscious reality.    Map of consciousness by Daivd R.

In this episode, I talk about beliefs and the masters guide us to confront our beliefs and to ascertain which beliefs are really ours, to begin with, why we hold on to beliefs, and whether it's time to let go of the ones that no longer serve me.  And how every day we are constantly living a life that is the resulting sum of all of the beliefs we have running in our subconscious and unconscious.  For a reading: https://shubhra.sellfy.store  To get in touch: info@sfamilywellness.com    IG: www.instagram.com/shiftwithshubhra Disclaimer: The following video is designed to educate and inform -- not provide medical advice.

For this season, I'm taking a small turn into retreating further to just behind the mic.  In this episode, I'm going to reflect on what the last year has been for me and some things I'm walking away with especially life before my A-HA moment and now life after that A-HA moment.  Going forward, conversations are going to be on topics to do with energy, astrology, esoteric "woo-woo" topics but still central to the mind-body-heart-soul theme of conversation.  My hope is that the content is going to help unfold something for you. Something that will help bring yourself to a new level of awareness for and within yourself.  Get in touch with inquiries or suggested topics: info@sfamilywellness.com  Check out my services: https://shubhra.sellfy.store

Alastair Pearce and I's history goes all the way back to when I was in university and he was my principal. Over his many years in the arts education industry, having been the head of various programs and institutions, Alastair noticed there were common issues in management when it came to working with creative people or working with the creative faculties within individuals. After leaving the educational industry he has since opened his own consultancy and works with companies from various industries on how to better creative harmonious working dynamics but understanding everyone's unique creative archetypes. Once understanding them and understanding which types you personify and others personify, you can then achieve better work culture and dynamics towards a more successful company.

By monitoring the client's heart coherence through heart rate variability profiling and various coaching models including NLP, Karen helps her clients to empower themselves and make the life they want with Heart CLARITY, Heart VISIONING, and Heart Leadership. New emerging science and studies are demonstrating more and more that we have a direct impact on the co-creation of our reality. And that is registered through the electromagnetic field of the heart as opposed to the brain, which most believe is where the influencing happens. But as Karen explains, even with emotions registering in the limbic part of the brain, it is first the heart that senses the energy and then sends the signal to the brain. But how does this correlates to the creation of our reality? Especially a reality of our dreams? Karen explains how her coaching service of heart intelligence helps do exactly that with her clients.

Heart healing encompasses 5 techniques to work on different heart issues that is holding you back from experiencing love and nourishment. Buried and/or held emotional scars and pains in our heart are healed and released. Heart Healing reestablishes the connection between the head and the heart. When this head and heart connection is strong, we can access Divine Will. Heart Healing addresses issues of the heart by reprogramming heart energies, filling the heart with love, opening and expanding heart energies and helping to let go of wounds and emotions. Heart Healing is useful in addressing lack of nurturing from others, especially when it is rooted in mother/child experience. Another healing technique that Jaslyn uses, is the Light Energy Weave Healing technique, which is passed on from the master healers of South Eastern Mexico, descended from the Mayans. Light Energy Weave works on the DNA to interweave physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and material planes to help individuals move forward from their known and unknown issues.

You should always consult a licensed medical practitioner when it comes to your personal health, or before you start any treatment. With the plethora of therapies currently available along your path to healing, you may have tried many modalities with little therapeutic effects. Now, a revolutionary tool with 40 years' research, is available to help you ease into almost instant well-being. Without the use of needles, Nutripucture which originates from France in the 1980s, works to balance a person physically and mentally, in a short period of time. Through the study of cellular self-regulation processes, an individual's self-healing is accelerated through the combination of the meridian system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), organic chemistry, and cellular nutrition. Talking with us today to give us more information on Nutripuncture is Valerie Marin, regional representative for Nutripuncture in Asia. Nutripuncture's action depends on the compositions of electromagnetic information of specifically combined minerals. Signals are emitted by the minerals in micro-portions and administered in micro-dosages, to communicate directly with the body's vital currents through micro-currents. The change observed in the patient is almost instantaneous, providing balance and release based on context, by reinforcing harmonious circulation of cellular regulation, in response to the individual's interaction with the environment (natural, cultural, and relational) as a whole. Nutripuncture is not touted as a treatment, but rather, it is a tool, which supports integrating the reality of traumatic events at the cognitive and metabolic level so that disturbance in the body is rapidly rectified, and balance is established. In this episode we cover: What is Nutripuncture and where did it come from Valerie’s journey with Nutripuncture How can Nutripuncture help and for what circumstances How does it differ from Homeopathy What age onwards is Nutripuncture suitable as a treatment/tool LINKS VALERIE MARIN www.purevitalitync.com NUTRIPUNCTURE www.nutripuncture.com ; www.nutripunctureblog.com SHUBHRA VENNETI www.sfamilywellness.com ; info@sfamilywellness.com Watch or listen to us on the following channels: Youtube: http://tiny.cc/d4cmsz Apple Podcasts: http://tiny.cc/14cmsz Google Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/yxsbvld8 Spotify: http://tiny.cc/84cmsz Vurbl: https://vurbl.com/station/7imPGg98DxK/ Transcripts: https://bit.ly/3dBVGD1 Instagram: www.instagram.com/shiftwithshubhra Newsletter Sign-Up: https://bit.ly/2PVkmy2

Sleep disorders in children and adolescents can be a common issue and sometimes, they can be overlooked. Studies have shown that poor sleep quality and/or quantity in children are linked to so many other problems, including academic, behavioral, developmental, and social difficulties, and weight abnormalities. Not only do pediatric sleep problems affect child health, but they also have a direct impact on family dynamics and parental or sibling sleep too. It’s also surprising to hear younger and younger children are almost ‘bragging’ about needing less sleep than they biologically may need. Something culturally, we may need to address.

Most of us have had some experience with personality testing and typing over the years. From the Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, DISC, and more, there have been many attempts to categorize our personalities.

Happy 2021! We launched the new season of Shift with Shubhra with a great conversation that I had with Dr. Phili Merry, who is still the only person in the world who has done a grounded research PhD in Synchronicity or as some of us would know it as, the Law of Attraction. I started a new New Year's Eve ritual, or perhaps it was a ritual for the eve of New Year's Eve: I watched the documentary, The Secret, which I have to say, is now my favorite ritual to do before any new chapter, especially the new year. Dr. Merry breaks the concept of Synchronicity and some tips to make it work for our life as well as, how to truly notice it's happening to/for you.  LINKSDr. Philip Merry www.PhilipMerry.comPlease share your synchronicity stories with Philip here: Phil@PhilipMerry.comShubhra Venneti www.sfamilywellness.com  Get in touch with us: info@sfamilywellness.com  Youtube: http://tiny.cc/d4cmsz Apple Podcasts: http://tiny.cc/14cmsz Google Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/yxsbvld8 Spotify: http://tiny.cc/84cmsz IG: www.instagram.com/shiftwithshubhraSubscribe to our Newsletter:https://sfamilywellness.us3.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=349320cd1f8f39a49cee12e78&id=23ac8b6704

In today's episode, we talk about parenting. Specifically the parenting relationship between Anabel and Carmen. This episode is a slightly different twist to my usual interview discussions. Today, instead of an "expert" on the show, we have real-life, flesh and blood human beings, who are mother and daughter and they will share their personal story on parenting and the lessons they've learned along the way.  Carmen and I met in 2016 whilst we were both visiting Japan, she was visiting a friend and I was visiting my own and we all happened to be meeting our friends in the same resto-bar in the beach town of Fujisawa. We then made another connection that two other friends of ours worked in the same film company in Lisbon. What are the odds? Since then we stayed in touch. On Facebook, I would see these endearing posts of Carmen's mother, Anabel. I was fascinated by their bond and it was then I invited them to come on the show for a chat.  It was a lovely conversation and it was just nice to talk about the lessons they'd learned along the way as their journeys took them and how their dynamic evolved.  At one point they were even roommates-that were flatmates -and also mother and daughter that shared a common group of friends. Now, that's not something you hear every day.  If you want to hear more conversations like this, write to us info@sfamilywellness.comCatch Shift With Shubhra streaming on these platforms: Youtube: http://tiny.cc/d4cmsz Apple Podcasts: http://tiny.cc/14cmsz Google Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/yxsbvld8 Spotify: http://tiny.cc/84cmsz IG: www.instagram.com/shiftwithshubhra

In this episode, Sadhna Upadhya, yoga instructor of Sadhnas.com demystifies and explains the basics of what yoga is and what the different yoga classes that are usually offered, entail. Regardless of their ethnicity, religion, or language, almost every person I know has tried a yoga class. My guess is that you would know at least one person in your circle who has at least tried a yoga class before, even if you haven't. Whilst getting into activewear and contorting my body into various positions hasn't really been on my wishlist, I feel like I'm going to be joining the club soon too. Still, the moment I look up a nearby studio and look at the long list of classes that are available, I start to feel that familiar anxiety rising up again.Which one was for me? The complete novice, a beginner who has a multiple joint injuries and ongoing chronic issues. Hatha? Vinayasa? Astanga? Yin? Hot? What's the difference?

We speak about optimizing our health and wellness but often neglect the concept of metabolic health. Various factors such as genetics, diet, medical history, stress, the environment, and physical activity can shape our metabolism and how we feel.  Nutrition plays a huge role in metabolism. Metabolism relies upon adequate, balanced nutrients – carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals – to function optimally. Almost all the vitamins, all minerals, and some amino acids must be obtained from dietary sources. How can we improve our health condition, and to better manage our existing health issues with the right nutrition?  You will not want to miss this podcast episode with our expert guest, Ms. Katherine Khoo, nutrition therapist and founder of Aman Wellness, an organization that treats, teaches and equips its clients with the right knowledge for their journey towards wellbeing.What to ExpectThe difference between a nutrition therapist and a nutritionistNutrients, minerals, vitamins - what each term really meansHow we know our body has a deficiency in a certain nutrient Signs of common nutrients deficiencies in our bodyKatherine’s advice on over-supplementingThe vitamin that you could be over ingesting Is it beneficial to follow a specific diet that is best for your body typeHow many servings of vegetables you should get a dayRecommended sources of plant-based protein Best cooking methods for vegetables What to watch out for when eating fermented foods The low-down on bad and good fatsThe best type of oil that we can use in our dietBest vitamins to boost the immunity  MentionedAman Wellness - http://amanwellness.sg/Katherine’s profile - http://amanwellness.sg/about/Rice bran oil - https://bit.ly/2ZIVEDGShubhra Sleep & Wellness Solutions - www.sfamilywellness.com Write to us: info@sfamilywellness.com 

Let’s face it. Regardless of our backgrounds, 2020 has been a crazy year of uncertainties and changes for all of us. In times like this, it is important more than ever to stay positive, mentally strong, and resilient. Finding time for yourself, peace and calm in the chaos of life can be a challenge, especially when you’re trying to balance work, social obligations, family, and personal life. We have also heard about the benefits of meditation and relaxation at some points in our lives. Studies around the world have shown that regular practice of meditation could help reduce anxiety, depression, insomnia, and general pain.If you are looking to explore this idea further, stay on for our podcast episode conversation with Toby Ouvry as he shares about mindfulness, meditation, and Qigong. Like his background, Toby Ouvry is a man of many hats in the field of meditation and mindfulness.

Gardening can be a productive way to pass time, add greenery in your home, and potentially add on to our grocery stock, especially in the current situation when most of us are still working from home. Gardening is also a great way to keep kids entertained and engaged while reducing their time with digital screens.  While most of us do not have the luxury of owning a spacious outdoor space to grow a garden, a small deck or patio is sufficient to bring in greenery by cultivating an indoor garden. Tune in as we speak with Balan Gopal, a personal fitness trainer, and also an urban farmer. Featured by The Straits Times and Home and Decor magazine, the father of two has inspired many fellow Singaporeans living in apartments with his elevated garden of herbs and vegetables growing out of recycled soft drink bottles and Styrofoam boxes.What to ExpectHow the concept of “Herb in a Garden” come about Balan’s journey with growing oyster mushrooms and herbs How Balan balance his green hobby business and family commitments Limitations of growing herbs in Singapore’s hot climateTop three herbs that are easy to growIs it easy to grow kaleDifferent types of composting MentionedHerb in a Cup page https://herbinacup.com/Earthworm Composting https://herbinacup.com/products/earthworm-compost-bin-my-little-composting-science-kitGrowing Workshops for Beginners https://herbinacup.com/products/herb-in-a-cup-urban-permaculture-workshop-grow-your-own-food-and-moreShubhra Sleep & Wellness Solutions - www.sfamilywellness.com  Write to us: info@sfamilywellness.com

All females across a lifespan, from the young athlete, the childbearing woman, the menopausal, and elderly woman receive benefit from physical therapy.  The scope of practice is huge – encompassing the care of women in relation to childbirth, both antenatally and postnatally, to include all health concerns of women, including incontinence, pelvic or vaginal pain, and prenatal and postpartum musculoskeletal pain. Although one in three women will experience urinary incontinence at some point in their lifetime, the topic of women’s health physiotherapy is often still considered taboo.  In this episode, we have a chat with Francesca Ruddick, a senior therapist from Physio Down Under, Singapore’s first dedicated women’s health physiotherapy practice looking into common pelvic health concerns, including for some mommies, pregnancy and post-natal conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, pelvic girdle pain and blocked milk ducts.What to ExpectMy personal experience on encountering pelvic floor healthWhat exactly "women's health physiotherapy" is Whether a general pelvic floor therapist treat men as wellIn what situation would someone engage a pelvic floor therapist compared to just any other physiotherapistWhen would a woman who is expecting or pregnant see a pelvic floor therapistWhat the pelvic floor is actuallyReasons why the pelvic floor weakensThe relation between the pelvic floor and core musclesMost new mothers are concerned about “diastasis recti” – what it is and what are the treatments When should a new mother seek a therapist after childbirthWhen should a mother start doing exercise againWhat are the most suitable exercises for a new mother  MentionedPhysio Down Under: http://physiodownunder.sgShubhra Sleep & Wellness Solutions: www.sfamilywellness.com Write to us: info@sfamilywellness.com 

Midwives are growing in popularity in recent years but their role is still largely misunderstood. In many countries, midwifery is or often regarded as a fringe choice as “less than” when compared with OB-GYN care. But midwifery care has benefited mothers for centuries across various cultures now. Today, we are speaking to Natasha Cullen, antenatal instructor and founder of “Beloved Bumps” organization. Natasha grew up in Singapore, and spent time in London to obtain her bachelor of science in Midwifery, and gained experience in top London hospitals, caring for women in both high and low-risk pregnancies. In 2012, she started the organization in London to provide women with interactive and unbiased pre and post-natal classes. In 2017, she brought the organization to Singapore to benefit mothers here.What to ExpectWhat exactly a midwife does throughout the course of a mother’s pregnancyProcedures and services a midwife provides pre, during, and post-birthThe difference in the role of a midwife in the UK and in SingaporeRole of a midwife in SingaporeWhat led Natasha to become a midwifeBenefits of engaging a midwife What other Asian countries are midwifery more mainstream inServices Natasha provide through Beloved Bumps organization MentionedBeloved Bumps - https://belovedbumps.sg/)Natasha’s profile  - https://belovedbumps.sg/about-us/team-and-partners/)Shubhra Sleep & Wellness Solutions - https://sfamilywellness.com/Write to us: info@sfamilywellness.com 

Let’s face it – the process of childbirth is not exactly a walk in the park. Giving birth can be scary, daunting, and traumatizing for many women, especially for first-time mothers. Women have traditionally been supported by a companion or a doula during childbirth, and there is good evidence this benefits both the woman and the baby, as recommended by the World Health Organization as well.  Who is a doula, what do they do exactly… and do you need a doula? Today, we are speaking to Johanna-Maria Wagner, President of “Doulas of Singapore” organization, and founder of the BumpWise community to answer these questions and more that you might have.  “Doulas of Singapore” is a registered non-profit organization run by doulas who are professional birth workers certified with internationally renowned institutions on a voluntary basis.What to Expect in This EpisodeThe role of a “doula”Difference between a doula and a midwifeHow a doula support a mother during childbirthWhat Bumpwise do in SingaporeRestrictions pertaining to having a doula in the birthing suite in Singapore The role of the father when a doula is presentConsiderations and questions a mother should have when hiring a doulaHow doulas support mothers after childbirth MentionedBumpwise Singapore - https://www.facebook.com/pg/bumpwise/about/ Doulas of Singapore - http://www.doulasofsingapore.com/Find a Doula here  -  http://www.doulasofsingapore.com/find-a-doula.htmlShubhra Sleep & Wellness Solutions - https://sfamilywellness.com/Write to us: info@sfamilywellness.com
