The deeper that we go into this letter, the more we begin to see the necessary qualities of an elder. In our society, we often value what seems to be productive. Yet what St. John emphasizes is the heart of the elder. One cannot offer care to another soul unless they have struggled long and hard with their own passions and are able to look at those who come to them through the lens of compassion, humility, and the love of Christ. Repeatedly, we are shown the care that the elder must exhibit in his approach to those who come to him. He cannot be easily agitated when anger or hostility are directed toward him. Nor can he show disgust at the past or present behavior of another. He does not condescend, but rather makes himself the servant of one like himself – one who knows the deep wounds of sin; often wounds that are self inflicted. Therefore, John tells us it is not right for a lion to pasture sheep, and it is not safe for a man who is still subject to the passions to rule over passionate men. One who does not seek to tend to the wounded, but rather to rule - one who does not seek to lead by example, but rather instruct with force - is going to be a gross distortion of the image of Christ. The elder must have the greatest sensitivity to the needs and the struggles of those who come to him, realizing that there is great variety and difference between individuals. Thus, an elder must be the most obedient and humble of souls; that is, he must have a refined ability to hear the truth, to hear the word of God spoken in his heart, and he must possess discernment that is born of humility. An elder can only see in others what he has contemplated in himself. His awareness of the wounds that others bear only help him to understand that they are his responsibility. He approaches others not in a detached fashion, but as one who shares deeply in their sorrow and desires their healing as he desires his own. In this, St. John tells us Christ is the standard. The elder must receive all that is thrust upon him with the same selfless love that we witness on the cross. It is here that we begin to understand that John is not simply speaking about monks. He speaks to all of us and the necessity of taking Christ at his word; to love others as he has loved us, to be willing to lay down our lives for others, including those who treat us like enemies. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:09:11 Anna Lalonde: Pray because I was just anointed.

In this episode, we have the pleasure of sitting down with Rabbi Steven Pruzansky to explore the rich themes of his latest book, "Repentance for Life" (Kodesh Press). Rabbi Pruzansky begins by sharing the inspiration behind the book, including the significant impact of his teacher, Rabbi Yisroel Chait. We then delve into the chapter "Repentance and the Land of Israel," where Rabbi Pruzansky sheds light on the deep connection between teshuva and the Land of Israel. Our conversation continues with an exploration of "Repentance and Suffering," as Rabbi Pruzansky unpacks the crucial lessons he hopes readers will grasp about the transformative power of suffering in the process of repentance. Finally, we dive into the symbolism of the Yom Kippur scapegoat and its profound relationship to teshuva, as outlined in the chapter "Repentance and the Yom Kippur Scapegoat." Whether you're deeply familiar with these topics or just beginning to explore them, this episode offers thought-provoking insights and reflections that will help you get into the right mindset as we approach Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. --- • Bio: Rabbi Steven Pruzansky is Rabbi Emeritus of Congregation Bnai Yeshurun of Teaneck, New Jersey, where he served from 1994–2020 when he made Aliyah. He currently serves as Israel Region Vice President of the Coalition for Jewish Values and as Senior Rabbinic Scholar at Yeshivat Migdal HaTorah in Modi'in. He is a graduate of Columbia University (BA in History), earned his law degree at Cardozo School of Law and practiced law in New York City for 13 years.

The discussion centered around key topics such as securing software by design, navigating the intricacies of managing end-of-life (EOL) software, and emphasizing the crucial role of transparency in the software supply chain.Allan Friedman, a vocal advocate for the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) — he has the t-shirt to prove it! — explored the increasing competitiveness of getting accepted to speak at renowned conferences like RSA, reflecting the growing awareness and urgency around cybersecurity topics. His upcoming RSA presentation is set to delve into the looming challenge of end-of-life and end-of-support software—a topic that, while not new, demands innovative technical and policy-level responses to mitigate emerging threats effectively.Bob Lord's discussion highlighted an area often overlooked yet critical for software security: memory safety. By sharing his experiences and underscoring the prevalence of vulnerabilities traced back to memory safety issues, Lord emphasized the necessity for developers and companies to adopt a more proactive and transparent approach in their software development practices. This call to action is not just about developing new solutions but also about ensuring that existing software is resilient against current and future threats.One of the key takeaways from this episode is the imperative of transparency in the software supply chain. As Friedman notes, the path to a more secure digital infrastructure lies in the ability to have clear visibility into the software components businesses rely on—including their age, vulnerabilities, and update requirements. This clarity is essential not only for building trust between software manufacturers and their customers but also for enabling a proactive stance on cybersecurity, which can significantly reduce the risks associated with outdated or unsupported software.Moreover, the conversation underscored the evolutionary nature of cybersecurity. As threats evolve, so too must our strategies and tools to combat them. The dialogue between Martin, Friedman, and Lord brought to light the importance of continuous learning, adaptation, and collaboration within the cybersecurity community to address these ongoing challenges.The episode represents a microcosm of the larger conversations happening within the fields of cybersecurity and software development. As we move forward, the insights shared by Allan Friedman and Bob Lord remind us of the critical importance of design security, comprehensive policies, and, above all, the need for a collective belief in the possibility of creating safer software solutions for the future.Be sure to follow our Coverage Journey and subscribe to our podcasts!____________________________Follow our RSA Conference USA 2024 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2024-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-infosec-conference-coverageOn YouTube:

Philosophy has a major public relations problem. The word conjures up images of dusty books and ivory towers, far removed from the realities of normal life. But what if philosophy is actually one of the most practical subjects of study that has serious implications for our deepest of human needs? In this episode, Brett and Erin talk with philosopher Dr. Ross Inman about his new book, Christian Philosophy as a Way of Life: An Invitation to Wonder. Dr. Inman makes a compelling case that philosophy is valuable, practical, and significant for every aspect of Christian life and ministry and, therefore, has tremendous value for our parenting, as well.

Nepo Babies! It's what we're wondering about. Towards the end of 2022 Twitter went buzzing about the term. A Nepo Baby, or the child of a famous actor. Many wondering about the roles they seem to be landing with ease. Some aren't even actors. Models, like Bella Hadid are even using their family connections to to gain acting roles. Is it wrong? Who knows. One expert said “In an industry built on reboots, a famous last name can be valuable intellectual property.” Sounds ‘bout right. America loves legacies and a passing of the torch. A child following in the parents foot steps… Didn't we fight a war about that once? Anyways, Nicky Trendz and Manny Oso are here to give you the skinny on what they think. But anyways, you tell us! Should Hollywood make their own kids work harder for roles? What do you think of Models transitioning into actors? Would you rather see a movie string Tom and Chet Hanks, instead? (Nicky would! Lol) Read the Story from New York Magazine about Nepo Babies: https://nymag.com/press/2022/12/extremely-overanalyzing-hollywoods-nepo-baby-boom.html Ang Lee casts his own son, Mason Lee to play Bruce Lee in future biopic: https://ew.com/movies/ang-lee-directing-bruce-lee-biopic-starring-son-mason-lee/#:~:text=The%20Life%20of%20Pi%20director's,Bruce%20Lee's%20daughter%2C%20Shannon%20Lee.

Message: Genesis 47:1-12 “Seasons of Life" After discovering that Joseph is alive and ruling under Pharoah in Egypt, Jacob moves the whole family to this foreign land to survive the famine. Little do they know this move will last 400yrs for his descendants. But like other seasons of his life, this season also serves a purpose. We each have different seasons of life to go through, and each season serves a purpose. What are some of the seasons you've been through and how have they shaped you? What is the season you are in right now and how is God inviting you to grow in this time and place you find yourself?
Do you want to change some or all of your life and something is holding you back? This is the first of a series of episodes in which I talk about what the traditional personal development world calls "limiting beliefs". To you and me, they're the excuses we make either consciously or, often, subconsciously that stop us making the changes we say we want to make in life. Here, I talk about how you can overcome the two biggest reasons I hear for people not changing their lives: "I don't have enough money" or "I don't have enough time". The resources I talk about at the end of the episode are all below: Download a free pdf copy of my book ‘How To Solve Any Problem In Life: The Root Causes Of Everything' by clicking here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b5j4u4uvyhvokyw/%28Final%20Paperback%29%20How%20to%20Solve%20Any%20Problem%20in%20Life.pdf?dl=0 For some free online training that summarises the key parts of the work I do and goes on to talk about an online course, click here: https://www.solveanyproblem.online/freetraining For details of the online course through which you can Learn in 3 days how to solve any problem in life for less than the cost of a weekend to Blackpool (that you can currently get with a 40% discount), click here: https://www.solveanyproblem.online/onlinecourse And click here for details of my one-on-one coaching: https://www.paul7cope.com/coaching
Alyssa welcomes Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist Lucille Rayner to the show to explain exactly what biodynamic craniosacral therapy is and how it works. Lucille also calls it Trauma Resolution Bodywork Therapy and she shares the healing benefits it provides. Lucille describes the path that led her to biodynamic craniosacral therapy and how the very first time she experienced it, she felt her body rushing towards the therapist in response to the work being done. Lucille details a bit of the science behind the fascia, the connective tissue of communication along the spine, and how the nervous system and blood flow work with this modality. But the true appeal is in the sense of openness, spaciousness, and integration with healing that occurs through the therapy. Traumas of any kind are connected and can be carried in the physical body. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a non-manipulative, calming, and orienting modality that can help regulate pain and change your relationship with how your body holds stress and experiences.

Alyssa Rabin 00:57Welcome to the Maliya podcast. This is Alyssa Rabin, your host for the day. And today we are going to be talking about something that's fairly new in my life. It has just been introduced to me since Mailya opened four and a half months ago. It is something that is truly near and dear to my heart, a practice that has saved me on many different occasions. And the modality I'm talking about is called Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. Now people ask me all the time, what is it and I have no idea how to describe it or what I should tell them about, except that it has saved me after COVID. Totally, completely saved me. I have Crohn's, it has taken so much inflammation out of my body. And today we have our Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, Lucille Rayner, with us. Lucille Rayner 02:00Hello. Alyssa Rabin 02:01Yay. And hopefully, Lucille will be able to explain it better than I can as to what is craniosacral therapy? Why don't we start first with who are you? How did you get into craniosacral therapy? Lucille Rayner 02:25Well, hello, my name is Lucille Rayner. I'm fairly new here to Maliya. Lori is one of the students in the training that I assisted for craniosacral therapy. And she started this place and tried to get me to come on additionally. And it didn't work out. But in the last couple of weeks I've joined the team and I feel really excited about being a part of this. The vision is really beautiful. And I don't know, coming here just feels like I've been here for a long time. Alyssa Rabin 02:59Oh my gosh, absolutely. Lucille Rayner 03:01And it's only been two weeks. And I feel like I've been here for forever. Yeah, like I just have known everyone all my life. Alyssa Rabin 03:07That's what I was just saying to Lori the other day. Amazing. Um, yeah. So we are so thrilled to have Lucille here. We do have another Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist as well. Her name is Linda White, and she's fabulous. But today, we're talking with Lucille and so tell us how did you get into this? How did you even hear about craniosacral therapy? Lucille Rayner 03:29Yeah, it's kind of an interesting story. I've known for most of my life that I wanted to be some kind of practitioner. Like when I was little, I was always doing my grandma or my mom's makeup or wanting to give them little massages, or my friends and I would hang out, like after going to a bar or something, I'd be like, ah, everyone needs facials. So, yeah, I just always knew that I wanted to be some kind of practitioner and I started looking into doing massage. And that didn't feel right. And I did some work with Reiki and that was okay, but it didn't give enough meat, like in terms of anatomy and some of that science-y stuff. And then I traveled the world. For a number of years I studied yoga, I studied meditation. I was teaching that for a while in different places around the globe and got really into gardening and thought I was on it. I was gonna do stuff with growing food and I do as a hobby, but-- Alyssa Rabin 04:34She makes the best lettuce. Makes? Grows the best lettuce. Lucille Rayner 04:38I make it all on my own. Yeah, and then I after traveling and living on the coast and all over the place, I came back to Calgary and I was working at Community Natural Foods and they had this life coach guy that staff go and see, it was pretty great. And I was saying to him, I want to go back to school and find my path and blah, blah, blah. And so he gave, he gives me this homework, I had to go and find three different places that... or, like, research three different places that I could possibly see myself going. So I looked into yoga therapy and nutrition, and I don't even remember what else. Alyssa Rabin 05:17And that was obviously not the right path. Lucille Rayner 05:20And it was the day of my meeting with him, going with my homework of none of the stuff that I really actually wanted to do, and I went into the bathroom and then I came out and there was this little sign on the poster board outside of the bathroom at Community that said, biodynamic craniosacral therapy intro talk. And then I was like, what is that, and I kind of read the little blurb about it. And I had no idea but I just knew. And I was like, okay, actually, this is what I'm committing to, I'm gonna go to this intro talk. I went, it was actually here in Cochrane. And Heidi, the teacher at the time, did this amazing presentation, she's just very eloquent and awesome with her teaching skills, but showed this video of this developing embryo. So the different stages of an embryo developing, can't see my hands, but they do this curling and uncurling kind of motion. And she talked about how these underlying forces that created us are still within us and heal us. So this intelligent blueprint of how we developed and created ourselves is still a part of our system. And by accessing that, we can come into these deeper healing forces and come closer to that original place that we came from. And watching this video and hearing her say that I was just like, my whole body got it. I didn't get it intellectually, but my, like, my-- Alyssa Rabin 06:53You felt it. Lucille Rayner 06:54I felt open, I felt spacious. I felt tubes inside of me that I didn't... now I know what they are, because I've developed that a bit more, but like feeling fluids move and tides, and, like, I got all of this wash of this deep bodily experience, it just felt so ancestrally innate in its wisdom. And then there was going to be this little demo at the end. And I could tell the guy beside me was, like, gonna try to get to be the one on the table. And I was like, there's no way. Like my hand was so ready. And I'm like, as soon as she says it in my hand went up. And the guy beside me I could tell was so cheesed. And I was like, whatever dude. Alyssa Rabin 07:36Yes, this is my experience. Lucille Rayner 07:39And I got on the table, and she did this little demo, and she put her hands on my feet, that's usually where our lineage of people typically start. Just, it's a good way to get a sense of the whole of the body. But she just put her hands on my feet and I felt this rush, like, my whole system was just, like, running towards her. And she was, you know, kind of blown away too. She was like, wow, your potency and your health and the strength in your body, and all of this stuff started happening. And I just, I don't need to get too into the specifics of what was going on, but the way that she met me in this dynamic, neutral, non-forcing kind of way, I could just tell my system was dying and crying to be held and received in that way, and like, and the safety and the wholeness. Alyssa Rabin 08:32And it's a lot of spinal fluid that starts to move around and starts to heal the parts of your body. So that would make sense you feeling flowing motions and things like that, right? Lucille Rayner 08:45Yeah. And I mean, the body is 80% water. So there's, you know, there's lots of fluids going around. And biodynamic craniosacral work is really interested and oriented to how those fluids are and how they're moving. And so meeting the body in a fluid way, when you understand their fluids, kind of changes how your body responds. Alyssa Rabin 09:09So okay, so we're getting the down unders of what you experienced and what, more or less, turned you on to biodynamic craniosacral therapy. Who would need this or want this or their body would - what's the word I'm looking for - like it would work for them? Yeah. Lucille Rayner 09:36Yeah, people ask me this question a lot. And I have a hard time with it. Because my answer is everybody. Alyssa Rabin 09:39Everyone. I know, I believe that too. Lucille Rayner 09:43And from a marketing and niching perspective, you have to not speak like that. But I really do think that everybody, and I think different practitioners for different issues. You know, like some people work a lot with babies and families and one of my teachers always said, if you work with babies, you're going to save the world because you can help those early imprints and those early traumatic experiences resolve. And babies are so quick and so intelligent, and then that stuff doesn't get into a pattern. Yeah. So after being in that demo session and feeling all that stuff happening in my system - and I mean it was just like a quick little 15 minute show the class sort of how it works kind of thing - I decided to book my first session, like as a real session, because I wanted to get more of a sense of it. And went to see my dear friend Nicole, she's an amazing therapist here in the city as well. And same sort of thing happened, she put her hands on my feet, there was this kind of rushing, this opening, this safety. And then she came to my sacrum at the base of my spine, and all of this stuff started happening, like years and years of being crunched up and held up and all of those bony structures and tissues and everything just being so held, I started to feel this kind of rocking and swaying and releasing and expanding. And, you know, all this stuff happened while she was just kind of holding my sacrum. And I was feeling stuff happening up my spine and in my head and down my legs and in my feet. And I was like, what is going on. And then, you know, I didn't say anything, I was just sitting with that for a while, then she took her hand away. And my sacrum felt like it was, you know, dropped 40 feet into the table, it was like it sunk down into the table. There was this sort of release and warmth and spaciousness and, like, not even just in the physical aspect, but from some emotional things as well, because of some things that have happened in my body that have been stored in there for a long time. My body started to kind of unwind from that. Anyway, I can't remember, I think she worked on my belly a little bit, my diaphragm, but then came up to my head and was just holding the back of my head doing like a simple cradle hold, which is just, yeah, holding my head in her two hands. And I started noticing this wave and it felt like her hands were kind of rocking my head back and forth and gliding my head up and down. And I was, like, so then my brain of wanting to get into cranial work was like, okay, what is happening here? What are you doing? And she was like, nothing. What do you mean nothing? Alyssa Rabin 12:35You can feel things moving. Lucille Rayner 12:37Yeah all the stuff is moving around my head, don't tell me we were doing nothing. And then she was like, no, that's your structure starting to change. That's your, you know, occiput softening. That's the sutures of the bones of your head starting to get some space. The dura, the connective tissue around your brain starting to hydrate, get more of that kind of like rhythmical motion, your brain relaxing. Alyssa Rabin 13:00Almost like back when you were a baby, your original form. Lucille Rayner 13:05Yeah. Alyssa Rabin 13:06It's true, you can actually see the practitioners hands staying in one spot. But the skull underneath it shifts and moves as it needs to, like it's the most wild thing I've ever seen ever. Lucille Rayner 13:23And then it happens down the track too. And that's why it's called craniosacral, because it's, you know, the top and the bottom of the pole, if you will, are connected by the spinal cord, and the spine and all of those sort of deeper midline structures. So when you have an effect on one side and the other, that helps those central channels get that cerebral spinal fluid moving, the information in the nerve tracts speaking to each other, and then, you know, the nervous system is connected to everything in the body. So all these other systems start to kind of regulate and self regulate and heal and calm and-- Alyssa Rabin 14:03All on its own. That's what I found, which was amazing about cranio is, biodynamic, you are not being manipulated, it's your body is moving in the way that it can, and it wants to at the point, at that point in time. Lucille Rayner 14:19Well, and I think that's like a really beautiful piece of the biodynamics is you're orienting to health. Most things in life are trying to figure out what's wrong and fix that. And orienting to health is hey, what's going right here, hey, remember the fact that you're still alive? There's health running. And I ask people, like, how's your health? Most of the response is either worried that I'm feeling something wrong, which isn't true, or still oriented to the places of pain. You know, people aren't really often able to feel places that feel good or well, you know. And health is maybe a tricky word. I try to say things like, where do you feel your lifeforce? How is your vibrancy? You know, where do you feel somewhere, even just say, you know, where do you feel somewhere good in your body? And it's amazing how, like, people can't access that, because we're not met in that way. We're not taught that. But again, those underlying forces, when met by someone who's trained in this work, are just going oh thank god. Alyssa Rabin 15:32Finally coming out and allowing. Like I remember... so I've had past back surgeries and I currently have, well, currently I have double disc replacement. And I specifically remember, every time somebody would say to me, how's your back doing? Well, that's where you focus to. And well, my back hurts. So of course, that's going to be my whole entire everything. Yet, when somebody would say to me, how are you doing today? Totally different, you would not focus on that one aspect of pain, you can focus on other places. Lucille Rayner 16:10Yeah. And then if you kind of take that, you know, even one step in another direction, like what's going right, what's going well? Helping folks orient to that, simultaneously kind of pendulate between both of those things. Like, not to dissociate or deny that the pain is there, or that there are those places of discomfort or stickiness or held or, you know, big stuff, like people experience big stuff, and there's big pain in the body and in the world. Alyssa Rabin 16:37But not to focus on it. Lucille Rayner 16:39Yeah, just to constantly kind of remind and remember that there's also something else running in the background and try to bring that a bit more into the foreground. Alyssa Rabin 16:48So how did it do that for you? Lucille Rayner 16:51Lots of different ways. The biggest changing point for me was how much it helped regulate my nervous system. I have a lot of energy, I have a pretty good constitution, I'm a pretty strong, come from some strong Scottish stock. One of my herbalists said to me one time, you're like a Cadillac, you don't really need much, you just need a good oil change and to get put in the garage once in awhile. But I didn't do those things, I didn't get oil changes or go to the garage. So I was always revving on high and in that kind of perpetually hyper aroused state, which manifests as stress, anxiety, doo doo doo, inability to slow down, not being able to take care of myself. And also some other, you know, experiences that happened when I was younger, there was, I've experienced some, like, trauma in my life. So those things kind of undigested, and manifested as all of these symptoms, and then I didn't know what to do with it, so then I would try to self medicate. So addiction was the thing that was running for me. Yeah, a lot of anger, a lot of misdirected emotions. And just, you know, really having a hard time and not even knowing why. But as I started to learn more about the nervous system and started to get more of these sessions and started to turn the dial down, as I like to say, and have someone helped me orient to my health and orient to health in a different way than these imprints that I learned. It's pretty terrible at first because, like, I would get a session and I'd have to sleep for two days. Because when you're revving so high for so long, and the throttle starts to come down, you crash. And that's not everyone's experience, that was my experience with what was going on in my nervous system. But the more I sort of stuck with it, and kept getting regular sessions, and had my therapist help me recognize what's going on, the jet started to cool, I started to find more of that spaciousness, that wholeness. I found ways to settle and relax and my digestion changed. My heart rate changed, my-- Alyssa Rabin 19:20Life changed. Lucille Rayner 19:21Yeah. And, like, the tension, the general tension that I had just been holding in my body and that, like, guarded feeling softened because my nervous system was able to release some of those imprints. Alyssa Rabin 19:35Well and you had somebody who was able to hold you and make you feel as though it's okay. You can relax, you can slow down. This is what I experienced, once you feel that way it's almost like your nervous system just calms. You don't need things to mask what's going on and how everything is just go go go go go and just, like, that's how I envision it. And it's just, they have space to hold and to care for you. And it's okay. Lucille Rayner 20:11And let you feel safe. And also to not villainize where you're at. We respond to life in a certain way because of how we've had to respond in a certain way. And so, meeting that without villainizing it. Whatever kind of pattern it is, and that's part of that safety piece. And then all of a sudden, I became, like, so much more pleasant. Alyssa Rabin 20:36You are very pleasant. Lucille Rayner 20:39But like, yeah, my anger stuff changed. My addictions kind of melted away. I was able to sleep better. Digestion is still a bit tricky for me but has definitely changed. I don't have nearly the active responsive, reactive, I guess, system that I did before. And it's not to say that I'm not human. And I still get regular sessions. But I've come more into relationship and those things that triggered and hooked me before don't get me in the same way. Alyssa Rabin 21:13Interesting. Yeah, that's pretty incredible. Lucille Rayner 21:16You know, I've even had some of my clients be like, I don't know if this is from the work that we're doing, but like, I yell at my husband way less. Alyssa Rabin 21:27That's the work. Lucille Rayner 21:29I don't know. Yeah. Might have something to do with it. Alyssa Rabin 21:31Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Lucille Rayner 21:33As you tone down. Alyssa Rabin 21:34Well, I also find that after a session, I almost... I don't know how to describe it other than being grounded. Yeah, I'm very ADHD. I'm very go, go, go, go, go, go, go go hyper outgoing. But then after a session, it's almost like there's a calm, and you can breathe, and you can relax. And you can see things clearly. It's, I don't know how to describe it. And so when people say to me, what does it do to you? What is it? It does everything. I'm telling you, it does mentally, physically. After I had COVID, I was getting super bad brain fog, and I was getting hot and cold sweats. And I was getting so many symptoms, and I think it was after three sessions I finally noticed that I could think clearly. And I didn't feel like I was floating or underwater at all. Like it's, I think there's so many different things that biodynamic craniosacral therapy can help with. Like, what are some other things that can help? Like, amazing story of you, your testament to your own practice. But what are some other ways that cranio can help? Lucille Rayner 22:53Yeah, I mean, a lot of neurological things. Pain. It's really great for chronic pain. Yeah, just helping the brain to settle, and find that sort of safety, and change the relationship with pain when you start to feel something that maybe is not pain. And, you know, typical stuff, like headaches, migraines, great for sleep disorders, amazing for that. Really awesome for digestive stuff. As you know. Alyssa Rabin 23:24Yeah, yeah. So I was saying before that I had it for Crohn's. And I always have referring pains all throughout my entire stomach. And I think, I don't even know how far along it was, four or five sessions in. So literally, what it is, is you are fully dressed, you're laying on a bed, you have a blanket on top of you, you're just totally relaxed. And the practitioner starts, like Lucille said, by holding your feet. And that way she can feel all of the fluids, she can hear all of everything that's happening in your system. I don't know how but it works. Lucille Rayner 24:03Well, fascia. Alyssa Rabin 24:04Oh, there you go. Lucille Rayner 24:05Fascia. That whole connective tissue body is one long, massive sheet of communication. Because that's where, through the fascia is where all the nervous system and the blood flow run. So that's why, you know, you could be holding someone's feet and feeling what's going on in their diaphragm or their jaw. Mirror neurons too can do that. Alyssa Rabin 24:28Crazy crazy. Like, okay, now speak English to me. But yeah, like I found as the practitioner was going up my body and holding on to my stomach, I swear to god, I thought I was gonna vomit right there on the spot. That's how I felt for about two seconds and I said out loud, I think I'm going to vomit. And the practitioner said to me, I might vomit with you. Because they can sort of feel what you're feeling. And then I had a lot of pressure on where I usually get my referring pain. And it's been six months. And I have not had that reaffirm, that re... Lucille Rayner 25:08Awesome. Alyssa Rabin 25:09That pain anymore. Like, bizarre. And it was consistent for, like, 15 years. It's just, it blows my mind. That's why I'm so passionate about it. I truly, I do, I believe that everybody needs to try this out. And also you, Lucille, don't call it biodynamic craniosacral therapy. Lucille Rayner 25:33Well I do call it that. But I, you know, over the years people, you know, I'll be at a dinner party or something. And like, oh, what do you do? And I'll say biodynamic craniosacral therapist, and people kind of look at me like I have two heads. If there's the person that was like, oh, my God, I love that, I'm like, oh my god, I love you. Sometimes I just want to say accountant. I don't wanna talk about it. That's not true. I'm very passionate about it. But I've started, you know, I've been thinking a lot about what is it that we do, and we're body workers. And we're trauma resolution body workers. So I say I'm a trauma resolution bodywork therapist. And then, at least that kind of, people know the word bodywork, people know the word trauma, people know the word therapist. And then that can kind of put things more together, you know, and then I can start to say, using light touch, and being able to connect with the fascia and the fluids, and can get more into that kind of conversation. But-- Alyssa Rabin 26:37--and trauma being mental trauma, physical trauma, emotional trauma, it works. Lucille Rayner 26:44And I don't believe that any of those things are separate. I think we separate those things based on understanding, you know, the same way we separate the leg from the pelvis, but it's, or a tendon from a bone from a muscle, it's all the same stuff, it's just organized in a different way, or experienced in a different way. And so, like a physical trauma, like, let's say, you're in a car crash, your emotional body is going to be affected, your mentality is going to be affected. You know, you might now be afraid to drive a car or go in a car or, you know, and then plus having your physical experience. But also having some kind of emotional, something like grief or... grief. Alyssa Rabin 27:26Yeah, your whole body responds to it in different ways. Lucille Rayner 27:30It can get stored in the tissues. Alyssa Rabin 27:32Yes, your whole body responds. Lucille Rayner 27:34And so that's where this work goes really well with other modalities, because it allows your body to let go of some of those holding patterns within the tissue. And especially, you know, working with something like psychology, talk therapy is really great, but I don't think you can only talk yourself out of trauma. I think it needs to happen on the body level as well. And I worked with a lot of psychologists over my time, and I see how well those two things go together and really sort of support each other. And this work can be so integrative. So if you're getting other work like chiropractic or massage or acupuncture. And that's why I love Maliya so much, because I don't believe that one thing does it. You know, I think you need a team. Alyssa Rabin 28:22Team of practitioners. Helping you and guiding you. Yeah, because many people are saying that after a cranio session, some emotional things might come up. Then therefore, we have three psychologists here, you can come, like it's all sort of under one roof. Lucille Rayner 28:42Yeah, and I mean, in cases like abuse or kind of sexual violence that bodies can experience, those kind of memories or things could come up or something that's a little bit out of my scope of practice. And, yeah, would want to have someone be able to kind of help them talk that out and have different little tools and... but, you know, the body can also kind of start to find some safety around some of those things that weren't so great. Alyssa Rabin 29:15Yay. Seriously, you're probably confused now. Try it. Try it. Try it. Try it. It will, it'll change your life. Lucille Rayner 29:27I've been thinking about this a lot lately, too. It's like, the work is so profound, that sometimes words are hard. Alyssa Rabin 29:36Yep. Hard to come by. Lucille Rayner 29:38I think about experiences that I've had that are, like, deep in nature, or deep in spirituality, or meditation or, you know, in my travels, like, things that have touched my heart and soul in such a deep way, and then I tried to vocalize and people are just like, what? And I feel like this work can be the same, like when you access that deeper place of stillness and that deep presence, something really profound happens and-- Alyssa Rabin 30:09-- and you have to seriously experience it to really fully understand it. Lucille Rayner 30:14And, you know, I'm happy to have, like, consults with people if people are kind of interested. And have a more specific conversation around their own experience, because again, it's like the general versus the specificity and the specificity is individualized. So yeah. If any of it sounds intriguing, yeah. Book a consult, chat with me. Alyssa Rabin 30:35Please call us here at Maliya. Thanks, Lucille. Lucille Rayner 30:39Thank you.Alyssa Rabin 00:57Welcome to the Maliya podcast. This is Alyssa Rabin, your host for the day. And today we are going to be talking about something that's fairly new in my life. It has just been introduced to me since Mailys opened four and a half months ago. It is something that is truly near and dear to my heart, a practice that has saved me on many different occasions. And the modality I'm talking about is called Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. Now people ask me all the time, what is it and I have no idea how to describe it or what I should tell them about, except that it has saved me after COVID. Totally, completely saved me. I have Crohn's, it has taken so much inflammation out of my body. And today we have our Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, Lucille Rayner, with us. Lucille Rayner 02:00Hello. Alyssa Rabin 02:01Yay. And hopefully, Lucille will be able to explain it better than I can as to what is craniosacral therapy? Why don't we start first with who are you? How did you get into craniosacral therapy? Lucille Rayner 02:25Well, hello, my name is Lucille Rayner. I'm fairly new here to Maliya. Lori is one of the students in the training that I assisted for craniosacral therapy. And she started this place and tried to get me to come on additionally. And it didn't work out. But in the last couple of weeks I've joined the team and I feel really excited about being a part of this. The vision is really beautiful. And I don't know, coming here just feels like I've been here for a long time. Alyssa Rabin 02:59Oh my gosh, absolutely. Lucille Rayner 03:01And it's only been two weeks. And I feel like I've been here for forever. Yeah, like I just have known everyone all my life. Alyssa Rabin 03:07That's what I was just saying to Lori the other day. Amazing. Um, yeah. So we are so thrilled to have Lucille here. We do have another Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist as well. Her name is Linda White, and she's fabulous. But today, we're talking with Lucille and so tell us how did you get into this? How did you even hear about craniosacral therapy? Lucille Rayner 03:29Yeah, it's kind of an interesting story. I've known for most of my life that I wanted to be some kind of practitioner. Like when I was little, I was always doing my grandma or my mom's makeup or wanting to give them little massages, or my friends and I would hang out, like after going to a bar or something, I'd be like, ah, everyone needs facials. So, yeah, I just always knew that I wanted to be some kind of practitioner and I started looking into doing massage. And that didn't feel right. And I did some work with Reiki and that was okay, but it didn't give enough meat, like in terms of anatomy and some of that science-y stuff. And then I traveled the world. For a number of years I studied yoga, I studied meditation. I was teaching that for a while in different places around the globe and got really into gardening and thought I was on it. I was gonna do stuff with growing food and I do as a hobby, but-- Alyssa Rabin 04:34She makes the best lettuce. Makes? Grows the best lettuce. Lucille Rayner 04:38I make it all on my own. Yeah, and then I after traveling and living on the coast and all over the place, I came back to Calgary and I was working at Community Natural Foods and they had this life coach guy that staff go and see, it was pretty great. And I was saying to him, I want to go back to school and find my path and blah, blah, blah. And so he gave, he gives me this homework, I had to go and find three different places that... or, like, research three different places that I could possibly see myself going. So I looked into yoga therapy and nutrition, and I don't even remember what else. Alyssa Rabin 05:17And that was obviously not the right path. Lucille Rayner 05:20And it was the day of my meeting with him, going with my homework of none of the stuff that I really actually wanted to do, and I went into the bathroom and then I came out and there was this little sign on the poster board outside of the bathroom at Community that said, biodynamic craniosacral therapy intro talk. And then I was like, what is that, and I kind of read the little blurb about it. And I had no idea but I just knew. And I was like, okay, actually, this is what I'm committing to, I'm gonna go to this intro talk. I went, it was actually here in Cochrane. And Heidi, the teacher at the time, did this amazing presentation, she's just very eloquent and awesome with her teaching skills, but showed this video of this developing embryo. So the different stages of an embryo developing, can't see my hands, but they do this curling and uncurling kind of motion. And she talked about how these underlying forces that created us are still within us and heal us. So this intelligent blueprint of how we developed and created ourselves is still a part of our system. And by accessing that, we can come into these deeper healing forces and come closer to that original place that we came from. And watching this video and hearing her say that I was just like, my whole body got it. I didn't get it intellectually, but my, like, my-- Alyssa Rabin 06:53You felt it. Lucille Rayner 06:54I felt open, I felt spacious. I felt tubes inside of me that I didn't... now I know what they are, because I've developed that a bit more, but like feeling fluids move and tides, and, like, I got all of this wash of this deep bodily experience, it just felt so ancestrally innate in its wisdom. And then there was going to be this little demo at the end. And I could tell the guy beside me was, like, gonna try to get to be the one on the table. And I was like, there's no way. Like my hand was so ready. And I'm like, as soon as she says it in my hand went up. And the guy beside me I could tell was so cheesed. And I was like, whatever dude. Alyssa Rabin 07:36Yes, this is my experience. Lucille Rayner 07:39And I got on the table, and she did this little demo, and she put her hands on my feet, that's usually where our lineage of people typically start. Just, it's a good way to get a sense of the whole of the body. But she just put her hands on my feet and I felt this rush, like, my whole system was just, like, running towards her. And she was, you know, kind of blown away too. She was like, wow, your potency and your health and the strength in your body, and all of this stuff started happening. And I just, I don't need to get too into the specifics of what was going on, but the way that she met me in this dynamic, neutral, non-forcing kind of way, I could just tell my system was dying and crying to be held and received in that way, and like, and the safety and the wholeness. Alyssa Rabin 08:32And it's a lot of spinal fluid that starts to move around and starts to heal the parts of your body. So that would make sense you feeling flowing motions and things like that, right? Lucille Rayner 08:45Yeah. And I mean, the body is 80% water. So there's, you know, there's lots of fluids going around. And biodynamic craniosacral work is really interested and oriented to how those fluids are and how they're moving. And so meeting the body in a fluid way, when you understand their fluids, kind of changes how your body responds. Alyssa Rabin 09:09So okay, so we're getting the down unders of what you experienced and what, more or less, turned you on to biodynamic craniosacral therapy. Who would need this or want this or their body would - what's the word I'm looking for - like it would work for them? Yeah. Lucille Rayner 09:36Yeah, people ask me this question a lot. And I have a hard time with it. Because my answer is everybody. Alyssa Rabin 09:39Everyone. I know, I believe that to. Lucille Rayner 09:43And from a marketing and niching perspective, you have to not speak like that. But I really do think that everybody, and I think different practitioners for different issues. You know, like some people work a lot with babies and families and one of my teachers always said, if you work with babies, you're going to save the world because you can help those early imprints and those early traumatic experiences resolve. And babies are so quick and so intelligent, and then that stuff doesn't get into a pattern. Yeah. So after being in that demo session and feeling all that stuff happening in my system - and I mean it was just like a quick little 15 minute show the class sort of how it works kind of thing - I decided to book my first session, like as a real session, because I wanted to get more of a sense of it. And went to see my dear friend Nicole, she's an amazing therapist here in the city as well. And same sort of thing happened, she put her hands on my feet, there was this kind of rushing, this opening, this safety. And then she came to my sacrum at the base of my spine, and all of this stuff started happening, like years and years of being crunched up and held up and all of those bony structures and tissues and everything just being so held, I started to feel this kind of rocking and swaying and releasing and expanding. And, you know, all this stuff happened while she was just kind of holding my sacrum. And I was feeling stuff happening up my spine and in my head and down my legs and in my feet. And I was like, what is going on. And then, you know, I didn't say anything, I was just sitting with that for a while, then she took her hand away. And my sacrum felt like it was, you know, dropped 40 feet into the table, it was like it sunk down into the table. There was this sort of release and warmth and spaciousness and, like, not even just in the physical aspect, but from some emotional things as well, because of some things that have happened in my body that have been stored in there for a long time. My body started to kind of unwind from that. Anyway, I can't remember, I think she worked on my belly a little bit, my diaphragm, but then came up to my head and was just holding the back of my head doing like a simple cradle hold, which is just, yeah, holding my head in her two hands. And I started noticing this wave and it felt like her hands were kind of rocking my head back and forth and gliding my head up and down. And I was, like, so then my brain of wanting to get into cranial work was like, okay, what is happening here? What are you doing? And she was like, nothing. What do you mean nothing? Alyssa Rabin 12:35You can feel things moving. Lucille Rayner 12:37Yeah all the stuff is moving around my head, don't tell me we were doing nothing. And then she was like, no, that's your structure starting to change. That's your, you know, occiput softening. That's the sutures of the bones of your head starting to get some space. The dura, the connective tissue around your brain starting to hydrate, get more of that kind of like rhythmical motion, your brain relaxing. Alyssa Rabin 13:00Almost like back when you were a baby, your original form. Lucille Rayner 13:05Yeah. Alyssa Rabin 13:06It's true, you can actually see the practitioners hands staying in one spot. But the skull underneath it shifts and moves as it needs to, like it's the most wild thing I've ever seen ever. Lucille Rayner 13:23And then it happens down the track too. And that's why it's called craniosacral, because it's, you know, the top and the bottom of the pole, if you will, are connected by the spinal cord, and the spine and all of those sort of deeper midline structures. So when you have an effect on one side and the other, that helps those central channels get that cerebral spinal fluid moving, the information in the nerve tracts speaking to each other, and then, you know, the nervous system is connected to everything in the body. So all these other systems start to kind of regulate and self regulate and heal and calm and-- Alyssa Rabin 14:03All on its own. That's what I found, which was amazing about cranio is, biodynamic, you are not being manipulated, it's your body is moving in the way that it can, and it wants to at the point, at that point in time. Lucille Rayner 14:19Well, and I think that's like a really beautiful piece of of the biodynamics is you're orienting to health. Most things in life are trying to figure out what's wrong and fix that. And orienting to health is hey, what's going right here, hey, remember the fact that you're still alive? There's health running. And I ask people, like, how's your health? Most of the response is either worried that I'm feeling something wrong, which isn't true, or still oriented to the places of pain. You know, people aren't really often able to feel places that feel good or well, you know. And health is maybe a tricky word. I try to say things like, where do you feel your lifeforce? How is your vibrancy? You know, where do you feel somewhere, even just say, you know, where do you feel somewhere good in your body? And it's amazing how, like, people can't access that, because we're not met in that way. We're not taught that. But again, those underlying forces, when met by someone who's trained in this work, are just going oh thank god. Alyssa Rabin 15:32Finally coming out and allowing. Like I remember... so I've had past back surgeries and I currently have, well, currently I have double disc replacement. And I specifically remember, every time somebody would say to me, how's your back doing? Well, that's where you focus to. And well, my back hurts. So of course, that's going to be my whole entire everything. Yet, when somebody would say to me, how are you doing today? Totally different, you would not focus on that one aspect of pain, you can focus on other places. Lucille Rayner 16:10Yeah. And then if you kind of take that, you know, even one step in another direction, like what's going right, what's going well? Helping folks orient to that, simultaneously kind of pendulate between both of those things. Like, not to dissociate or deny that the pain is there, or that there are those places of discomfort or stickiness or held or, you know, big stuff, like people experience big stuff, and there's big pain in the body and in the world. Alyssa Rabin 16:37But not to focus on it. Lucille Rayner 16:39Yeah, just to constantly kind of remind and remember that there's also something else running in the background and try to bring that a bit more into the foreground. Alyssa Rabin 16:48So how did it do that for you? Lucille Rayner 16:51Lots of different ways. The biggest changing point for me was how much it helped regulate my nervous system. I have a lot of energy, I have a pretty good constitution, I'm a pretty strong, come from some strong Scottish stock. One of my herbalists said to me one time, you're like a Cadillac, you don't really need much, you just need a good oil change and to get put in the garage once in awhile. But I didn't do those things, I didn't get oil changes or go to the garage. So I was always revving on high and in that kind of perpetually hyper aroused state, which manifests as stress, anxiety, doo doo doo, inability to slow down, not being able to take care of myself. And also some other, you know, experiences that happened when I was younger, there was, I've experienced some, like, trauma in my life. So those things kind of undigested, and manifested as all of these symptoms, and then I didn't know what to do with it, so then I would try to self medicate. So addiction was the thing that was running for me. Yeah, a lot of anger, a lot of misdirected emotions. And just, you know, really having a hard time and not even knowing why. But as I started to learn more about the nervous system and started to get more of these sessions and started to turn the dial down, as I like to say, and have someone helped me orient to my health and orient to health in a different way than these imprints that I learned. It's pretty terrible at first because, like, I would get a session and I'd have to sleep for two days. Because when you're revving so high for so long, and the throttle starts to come down, you crash. And that's not everyone's experience, that was my experience with what was going on in my nervous system. But the more I sort of stuck with it, and kept getting regular sessions, and had my therapist help me recognize what's going on, the jet started to cool, I started to find more of that spaciousness, that wholeness. I found ways to settle and relax and my digestion changed. My heart rate changed, my-- Alyssa Rabin 19:20Life changed. Lucille Rayner 19:21Yeah. And, like, the tension, the general tension that I had just been holding in my body and that, like, guarded feeling softened because my nervous system was able to release some of those imprints. Alyssa Rabin 19:35Well and you had somebody who was able to hold you and make you feel as though it's okay. You can relax, you can slow down. This is what I experienced, once you feel that way it's almost like your nervous system just calms. You don't need things to mask what's going on and how everything is just go go go go go and just, like, that's how I envision it. And it's just, they have space to hold and to care for you. And it's okay. Lucille Rayner 20:11And let you feel safe. And also to not villainize where you're at. We respond to life in a certain way because of how we've had to respond in a certain way. And so, meeting that without villainizing it. Whatever kind of pattern it is, and that's part of that safety piece. And then all of a sudden, I became, like, so much more pleasant. Alyssa Rabin 20:36You are very pleasant. Lucille Rayner 20:39But like, yeah, my anger stuff changed. My addictions kind of melted away. I was able to sleep better. Digestion is still a bit tricky for me but has definitely changed. I don't have nearly the active responsive, reactive, I guess, system that I did before. And it's not to say that I'm not human. And I still get regular sessions. But I've come more into relationship and those things that triggered and hooked me before don't get me in the same way. Alyssa Rabin 21:13Interesting. Yeah, that's pretty incredible. Lucille Rayner 21:16You know, I've even had some of my clients be like, I don't know if this is from the work that we're doing, but like, I yell at my husband way less. Alyssa Rabin 21:27That's the work. Lucille Rayner 21:29I don't know. Yeah. Might have something to do with it. Alyssa Rabin 21:31Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Lucille Rayner 21:33As you tone down. Alyssa Rabin 21:34Well, I also find that after a session, I almost... I don't know how to describe it other than being grounded. Yeah, I'm very ADHD. I'm very go, go, go, go, go, go, go go hyper outgoing. But then after a session, it's almost like there's a calm, and you can breathe, and you can relax. And you can see things clearly. It's, I don't know how to describe it. And so when people say to me, what does it do to you? What is it? It does everything. I'm telling you, it does mentally, physically. After I had COVID, I was getting super bad brain fog, and I was getting hot and cold sweats. And I was getting so many symptoms, and I think it was after three sessions I finally noticed that I could think clearly. And I didn't feel like I was floating or underwater at all. Like it's, I think there's so many different things that biodynamic craniosacral therapy can help with. Like, what are some other things that can help? Like, amazing story of you, your testament to your own practice. But what are some other ways that cranio can help? Lucille Rayner 22:53Yeah, I mean, a lot of neurological things. Pain. It's really great for chronic pain. Yeah, just helping the brain to settle, and find that sort of safety, and change the relationship with pain when you start to feel something that maybe is not pain. And, you know, typical stuff, like headaches, migraines, great for sleep disorders, amazing for that. Really awesome for digestive stuff. As you know. Alyssa Rabin 23:24Yeah, yeah. So I was saying before that I had it for Crohn's. And I always have referring pains all throughout my entire stomach. And I think, I don't even know how far along it was, four or five sessions in. So literally, what it is, is you are fully dressed, you're laying on a bed, you have a blanket on top of you, you're just totally relaxed. And the practitioner starts, like Lucille said, by holding your feet. And that way she can feel all of the fluids, she can hear all of everything that's happening in your system. I don't know how but it works. Lucille Rayner 24:03Well, fascia. Alyssa Rabin 24:04Oh, there you go. Lucille Rayner 24:05Fascia. That whole connective tissue body is one long, massive sheet of communication. Because that's where, through the fascia is where all the nervous system and the blood flow run. So that's why, you know, you could be holding someone's feet and feeling what's going on in their diaphragm or their jaw. Mirror neurons too can do that. Alyssa Rabin 24:28Crazy crazy. Like, okay, now speak English to me. But yeah, like I found as the practitioner was going up my body and holding on to my stomach, I swear to god, I thought I was gonna vomit right there on the spot. That's how I felt for about two seconds and I said out loud, I think I'm going to vomit. And the practitioner said to me, I might vomit with you. Because they can sort of feel what you're feeling. And then I had a lot of pressure on where I usually get my referring pain. And it's been six months. And I have not had that reaffirm, that re... Lucille Rayner 25:08Awesome. Alyssa Rabin 25:09That pain anymore. Like, bizarre. And it was consistent for, like, 15 years. It's just, it blows my mind. That's why I'm so passionate about it. I truly, I do, I believe that everybody needs to try this out. And also you, Lucille, don't call it biodynamic craniosacral therapy. Lucille Rayner 25:33Well I do call it that. But I, you know, over the years people, you know, I'll be at a dinner party or something. And like, oh, what do you do? And I'll say biodynamic craniosacral therapist, and people kind of look at me like I have two heads. If there's the person that was like, oh, my God, I love that, I'm like, oh my god, I love you. Sometimes I just want to say accountant. I don't wanna talk about it. That's not true. I'm very passionate about it. But I've started, you know, I've been thinking a lot about what is it that we do, and we're body workers. And we're trauma resolution body workers. So I say I'm a trauma resolution bodywork therapist. And then, at least that kind of, people know the word bodywork, people know the word trauma, people know the word therapist. And then that can kind of put things more together, you know, and then I can start to say, using light touch, and being able to connect with the fascia and the fluids, and can get more into that kind of conversation. But-- Alyssa Rabin 26:37--and trauma being mental trauma, physical trauma, emotional trauma, it works. Lucille Rayner 26:44And I don't believe that any of those things are separate. I think we separate those things based on understanding, you know, the same way we separate the leg from the pelvis, but it's, or a tendon from a bone from a muscle, it's all the same stuff, it's just organized in a different way, or experienced in a different way. And so, like a physical trauma, like, let's say, you're in a car crash, your emotional body is going to be affected, your mentality is going to be affected. You know, you might now be afraid to drive a car or go in a car or, you know, and then plus having your physical experience. But also having some kind of emotional, something like grief or... grief. Alyssa Rabin 27:26Yeah, your whole body responds to it in different ways. Lucille Rayner 27:30It can get stored in the tissues. Alyssa Rabin 27:32Yes, your whole body responds. Lucille Rayner 27:34And so that's where this work goes really well with other modalities, because it allows your body to let go of some of those holding patterns within the tissue. And especially, you know, working with something like psychology, talk therapy is really great, but I don't think you can only talk yourself out of trauma. I think it needs to happen on the body level as well. And I worked with a lot of psychologists over my time, and I see how well those two things go together and really sort of support each other. And this work can be so integrative. So if you're getting other work like chiropractic or massage or acupuncture. And that's why I love Maliya so much, because I don't believe that one thing does it. You know, I think you need a team. Alyssa Rabin 28:22Team of practitioners. Helping you and guiding you. Yeah, because many people are saying that after a cranio session, some emotional things might come up. Then therefore, we have three psychologists here, you can come, like it's all sort of under one roof. Lucille Rayner 28:42Yeah, and I mean, in cases like abuse or kind of sexual violence that bodies can experience, those kind of memories or things could come up or something that's a little bit out of my scope of practice. And, yeah, would want to have someone be able to kind of help them talk that out and have different little tools and... but, you know, the body can also kind of start to find some safety around some of those things that weren't so great. Alyssa Rabin 29:15Yay. Seriously, you're probably confused now. Try it. Try it. Try it. Try it. It will, it'll change your life. Lucille Rayner 29:27I've been thinking about this a lot lately, too. It's like, the work is so profound, that sometimes words are hard. Alyssa Rabin 29:36Yep. Hard to come by. Lucille Rayner 29:38I think about experiences that I've had that are, like, deep in nature, or deep in spirituality, or meditation or, you know, in my travels, like, things that have touched my heart and soul in such a deep way, and then I tried to vocalize and people are just like, what? And I feel like this work can be the same, like when you access that deeper place of stillness and that deep presence, something really profound happens and-- Alyssa Rabin 30:09-- and you have to seriously experience it to really fully understand it. Lucille Rayner 30:14And, you know, I'm happy to have, like, consults with people if people are kind of interested. And have a more specific conversation around their own experience, because again, it's like the general versus the specificity and the specificity is individualized. So yeah. If any of it sounds intriguing, yeah. Book a consult, chat with me. Alyssa Rabin 30:35Please call us here at Maliya. Thanks, Lucille. Lucille Rayner 30:39Thank you.

(pacing and combat are factors, obviously)Delroy @jdelroyc - Games have always found incredible ways to tell stories, innovate, and challenge our minds. What's a game or series that you find excels in one or more of these areas? For me, Baba is You and Fez are examples of absolutely mind-blowing clever design. Vroom!Eric Cave - Thanks for the Lumines recommendation. I would not have downloaded it, but did after hearing you talk about it. It is fun and relaxing and looks and sounds great. It isn't as good as Tetris Connected, but worthy of comparison.

2021-02-21 The Way, the Truth, and the Lifeby Pastor Eric McNeilScripture Reference: John 14:1-614 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
2021-02-14 The Resurrection and the Lifeby Pastor Eric McNeilScripture Reference: John 11:17-2717 So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days. 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off; 19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother. 20 Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed at the house. 21 Martha then said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.” 23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world.”
2021-01-10 The Bread of LifePastor Eric McNeilScripture Reference: John 6:32-5832 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” 35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” 41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— 46 not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” 52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”

In this episode: Aristotle's Rhetorical Triangle, how I escaped a cult, why we must care about others, and how it can all be applied to persuasion, art creation, ideology, and modern life. We delve into some of the philosophical reasons behind what makes one “good” at rhetoric. I talk about how some of Lacan's, Freud's, and Jung's psychological writings can be used to cultivate authority, humanity, and logic. As I explain each pillar of the triangle, I'll then use that same method to analyze my own life to give a better idea of who I am: my ethos of what led me to co-found Jam Street Media, the pathos of my grandmother's imperative to me, and the logos of the book that caused my exodus from religion.

How the coronavirus separated a mother from her newborn baby, and the schoolteacher who stepped in to help the family in their time of need. Filmmaker Oscar Guerra discusses the story at the heart of his new FRONTLINE documentary, [Love, Life & the Virus](applewebdata://30F093A3-2634-418D-B298-3476051BCE10/Love,%20Life%20&%20the%20Virus.) — which follows a mother, Zully, who gave birth on a ventilator with COVID-19 and then spent nearly three weeks in a coma battling the virus. It wasn’t safe for Zully’s newborn to go home to her husband and older son, who were infected as well — so her older son’s ESL teacher, Luciana Lira, took the baby in while the family recovered, saying, “I am willing to help, 100 percent.” Guerra speaks about the challenges facing immigrant families like Zully’s in the time of the coronavirus, how herthe community in Stamford, Connecticut banded together to help — and what it was like to document the “beautiful” moment when the mother and her infant son were finally reunited.

Do you have time to make the wrong decisions? Life is to short to live with regret and sorrow or to live an unfulfilled life. In this podcast, I share the secret book that made me look at my life differently. I now realize there is a stopwatch on my life. I no longer want to wait and defer, wait and defer. I want to know that with my time has been spent wisely making memories and hopefully making the world a better place. There is a countdown and my life and yours as well. So what are you doing about it? Links: http://www.lifeinhalfasecond.com/ Download first chapter:http://www.lifeinhalfasecond.com/Downloads/Pages%20from%20Life%20in%20Half%20a%20Second_chap_1.pdf

A lot of movies I wanted to talk about on the show has slipped through the cracks, so instead of skipping over them, I decided to do quick reviews of a whole bunch of movies at once! On this episode I talk about the still in theaters, Edgar Wright film Baby Driver, the sci-fi/horror film Life, the strange, creep-fest A Cure For Wellness, the indie creature feature The Monster, the alternate-history, monster movie The Great Wall, and the low-budget, pseudo-superhero flick Sleight! That's a lot of movies!

You guys, it really happened. Gilmore Girls is back in our lives. We recorded a special episode discussing our feelings. Spoiler alert, we all loved it. So if you didn't love it, maybe skip this installment. We go over the Bunheads characters who pop up throughout the four seasons, rate each episode, and at one point Elizabeth and Megan 1 embrace their inner Nerdist. This time, instead of missed references, if you think we missed any characters or cameos, please let us know and we'll do shots. Come back next time for "A Nutcracker in Paradise" with special guests, The Shipping Room!

After being inspired by a song, I got thinking about the some of the great moments I have had in my life. I recall one in particular that happened in Australia. After months of failure, a huge turning occurred. A moment I will cherish forever. http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/https://ia801502.us.archive.org/15/items/59Moment4Life/%2359%20-%20Moment%204%20Life.mp3

START UP RECOVERY is a transformational residence that supports people through career, passion, and what Gregg refers to as a recovery play-book. Their four cornerstones are a community, accountability, education, and love. They also provide for their residents the unique service of mentorship for long-term sobriety and long-term success. Join The Addicted Mind Podcast Facebook Group>>> ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheAddictedMindPodcast/ ) Gregg got sober 25-years ago when he was in his mid-twenties. He has managed to retain his sobriety by remaining willing to be willing. He maintains a mindset of life as a continuous journey going forward. In his first year of recovery, he did everything the old-school AA way, and over time, he began adding breath work, sound bath, and then Al-Anon to his play-book. He found that every time he became distressed in his disease, someone would show up with a new tool for him to try. He gets through all of life's painful problems with sobriety and with the support of the whole recovery network. He is always looking for ways to continue healing and growing. Living a counseled and supported life during the years of recovery is essential because, when left to our own devices, our ego will show up. And with pride and ego involved, we tend to make bad decisions, even when we're sober. One addict helping another really works! Rock bottom is choosing to do the same thing over again, knowing that the result is going to be bad. It can happen as a result of many different things, like childhood trauma, divorce, or addiction. At rock bottom, people often find themselves doing things that they said they would never do. It's the point when people begin to realize that they are powerless and their lives have become unmanageable. Having the compassionate support of others at this time is crucial. Developing joy in life, and shifting from addiction to passion are parts of the process of recovering from rock bottom. This does not happen overnight. It happens one day at a time and it can result in people becoming addicted to a life of recovery. For Gregg, it is important to help people to reach their rock bottom by showing them, rather than telling them, what he has done in his life to maintain his sobriety. He refers to this as co-piloting people through their recovery process. Life is difficult. So Gregg believes that the Twelve-Steps would be a very helpful tool to incorporate into the school system. He suggests introducing it to children in the fourth grade, before they have reached puberty, and before they have discovered drugs and alcohol. With this process, they could develop the essential skills necessary for living joyful and passionate lives. Recovery is a life-time process. Gregg encourages everyone to unpack their backpack of shame sooner rather than later because the longer it is carried, the heavier it gets, and the more it will weigh you down. To be tuned-in to recovery, he recommends being spiritually sound, sober, hard-working, diligent, and seriously honest.
