Today's episode is the Season 5 Finale. Thank you to everyone that continues to support the podcast. I am going to take some time off to recharge. Enjoy the holiday season with your family and friends.  During today's episode I discuss abdominal massage as a first line of defence for abdominal pain. I talk about the relevant research and the most commonly suffered from abdominal symptom being constipation. This is a topic that isn't discussed enough and very common in the general population. Many people do not know that manual therapy can serve as part of symptom management. Furthermore, while certain areas of manual therapy struggle to have research to measure outcomes, abdominal massage seems to be one with plenty of research published on the topic.   We also discuss the importance of diagnosis and evaluation of abdominal pain, when abdominal massage should not be used, as well as common life style and behaviour modifications that are often suggested as a management tool to improve symptoms.   Have you used abdominal massage to manage symptoms of abdominal discomfort? Comment below.  Subscribe to The Concast - New episodes Friday at 9am EST *Episode Resources* Gul Dogan I, Cursen C, Akbayrak T et al.

What can *really* change your reproductive life? Two things we talk about in today's episode of Hormonally Speaking. I absolutely loved having this conversation with Ashley Marie, who is a licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist specializing in Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy. And if you've never heard of Maya Abdominal Therapy, you are about to learn something EVERY woman should know about. You probably know by now that I'm into doing just about anything to help women with their fibroids, and this is one technique that can help tremendously. It also supports every part of your reproductive health, and can be particularly helpful with bringing back periods, easing period pain, and normalizing your cycle. We also dive into the other arena I want every woman to be educated on - FAM (Fertility Awareness Method). As Ashley mentions, it's 99.4% effective when done correctly. And even beyond fertility or birth control, FAM does SO much to connect you to your body and overall health. I wish I would've known about it as a teen, which Ashley and I also talk about. Being empowered with FAM at a younger age could help with so many issues that come up around sex and body autonomy. Ashley Marie is a Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist specializing in Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy and Intuitive Bodywork. After suffering from irregular and painful menstrual cycles for most of her life and getting no help in understanding them from her medical providers, she decided to trust that the healing was in her own hands. With a combination of herbs, massage and dietary changes she now has a regular, pain free cycle that she looks forward to each month. She is passionate about creating a space for women to transform their menstrual realities with womb work, reproductive health education and practical self~care rituals. She lives in an forested community in the Mountains near Asheville, NC with her husband and 4 children. Follow Ashley on IG at https://www.instagram.com/rooted.feminine/.

Just listening and feeling the sensations in our Abdomen/ Belly makes us more conscious and aware. We hold so much in our Belly so that it can become rock hard and like an onion it requires peeling the never ending layers. I have found that my way of communicating and helping others is by offering Abdominal Massage it can help others become aware and listen to the still small voice inside.  I have been a massage practitioner for 20 years, and specialise  in Abdominal-Sacral massage. The abdomen is so often ignored and is an area that is least touched. Now Scientists call the guts “the second brain”! With more neurone endings than the brain. The massage works on both the sacral area and your abdomen from just under your ribs down towards your pubic bone. Although it is a great massage for both men and women, for women it has the added bonus of releasing any muscular/fascial restrictions in the abdomen that maybe affecting your uterus and ovaries. It is a great way to get in touch with your belly!!" ________________________________________________________ Awakenings With Michele Meiche is Your place for tips and insight to live a more fulfilling life, and your relationships.

Our guest today is my dear friend, Jen Poll. Jen is a Licensed Massage Therapist in St. Petersburg, Florida. We have a great talk with Jen on the techniques of vaginal steams, abdominal massage, and her inspiration from teachings of Don Elijio Panti and Rosita Arvigo. Steaming and Abdominal Massage can be a great way for women to maintain and achieve uterine health, to reconnect with their own body and reclaim any power they may have previously surrendered. We cover what a vaginal steam is, and why a woman may want to steam her lady parts. The massage and steam can be as ritualized as you want or can be a scheduled simple self-care technique. We also cover what to expect during the process and situations where you may want to wait before jumping in. https://www.ladypotions.com/episode13

HEALTHY SEX & SEXUALITY In this podcast episode, Sarina Stone talks with us about the importance of our beliefs about sex and sexuality, and how it affect our individual health as well as the quality of our intimate relationships. With her training in the Universal Healing Tao System, she describes the process of cultivation, cleaning, circulation, and utilization of reproductive energy. She notes that our bodies are always making energy to produce sperm, eggs, and hormones, and she explains this energy can be used for health and longevity. Now days, people are often distracted, preoccupied, and disconnected from their inner world. They have no idea what they are feeling and thinking at any given moment. Additionally, most people are not present to the patterns they are perpetuating on a continual basis. LOVE IS NUMBER ONE When it comes to sex and sexual intimacy, most people are bombarded with messages about lust and eroticism. Or they have adopted cultural norms of causal sex and one night stands. There is nothing wrong with one night stands and erotic sex. Yet, when we talk about long-term, lasting intimacy with another human being, we need to attend to one essential matter and that it LOVE. For Healthy sexuality, Sarina reminds us that Love is number one. “If there is a true loving connection between partners, then there is always an element of pleasure and connection.” ~ Sarina Stone INDIVIDUAL CULTIVATION Sarina describes the importance of individual cultivation, which is cleaning out your negative belief patterns and emotional residue, so that your internal system in flowing smoothly and freely. She also discusses the importance of having a loving connection to yourself first, so that you can then enter into a deeper, more loving, intimate connection with your partner. As you develop yourself, you expand your capacity to connect with your partner. Sarina explains that every level you attain on the path of self-development, your sex is going to get better. “We will never live into the deepest connection or deepest pleasure we are capable of until we make love, trust, and connection our primary goals” ~ Sarina Stone Be sure to listen to the episode to hear stories, examples, and tips.

GUEST: SARINA STONE Sarina Stone is an internationally renowned Medical Chi Kung (Qigong) instructor, Abdominal Massage expert, Natural Health Advocate and author of eight books. After two decades of study in northern Thailand with Tao Master, Mantak Chia, Ms. Stone has developed multiple self-help tools for stress relief, conscious manifestation, physical health and longevity. Known for her light-hearted approach to health and wellness, Sarina Stone is a colorful, beloved speaker and educator across the globe. OUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS DIRECTLY IMPACT OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH. Many of us, (myself included) go through life feeling preoccupied, distracted, and overwhelmed. It is easy to overlook our inner world (i.e. what we are thinking, what we believe, what we feel, and what we sense in our body), and how it affects our overall well-being. It is easy to loose touch with ourselves. In this episode, Sarina Stone talks with us about the important relationship between our thinking and emotional patterns with our physical health and relationship health. Sarina uses quantum physics, psychology, Taoism, and Medical Chi Kung to describe this direct relationship between the mind and the body. She defines: Taoism – as the way of nature (the philosophy of handling any situation in a natural way). Medical Chi Kung – as scientific energy work. OUR PERSONAL HEALTH DIRECTLY IMPACTS THE QUALITY OF OUR RELATIONSHIPS. In Sarina’s work, she encourages people to work on themselves. She claims that as people clear out harmful thinking and emotional patterns their health and relationships dramatically improve. “In order to have a healthy relationship with someone else, one must be in a healthy relationship with themselves.” ~ Sarina Stone At the end of the episode, Sarina leads us in a short exercise to learn how to bring more emotional balance to our personal experience. Be sure to listen to the episode to hear stories, examples, and tips.
