Ever heard of Mind Body Spirit Release? This is a fantastic modality for anyone on a healing journey that addresses trapped emotions in the body. I'm honored to have Amanda Mirabella, one of the MBSR Academy's training teachers, on the podcast! In this episode she shares her own personal story with holistic healing as well as how she came to MBSR. Amanda is a word-smith and gives such beautiful descriptions and explanations as to how muscle testing works, even over a distance, and how the MBSR clearing works. She also covers the topic of this type of energy work for Christians, which I think is hugely helpful. I share a very personal experience with MBSR as well as how it can be used for children and for pets and for relationships. If you'd like to find a practitioner for MBSR (besides Amanda or myself, as we are both practicing) you can go to www.mindbodyspiritrelease.com. You'll also find information there on how to take the training courses to become an MBSR Practitioner yourself, if you like.

We've talked about sleep as a vital building block to health, but what if you can't get great sleep because you snore or have sleep apnea? Airway restriction could play a role in this. We've also gone over the importance of stress-reducing practices, getting the body into the calming rest-and-digest phase, but what if you can't because you're always breathing through your mouth (which triggers a fight or flight response)? So many connections with our tongue and breath to our greater big picture health. In this episode I get to talk with Orofacial MyoFunctional Therapist and Airway specialist Catherine Kangas. We discuss the importance of nasal breathing, tongue placement and posture, as well as tongue tie revision. You can find out more about Catherine and her work at www.integrativemyohouston.com and on Instagram at @integrative_myo. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thewellnessgahm/message
