Sally shares her inspiring journey from dance and theater to yoga instruction, highlighting how yoga and running have shaped her life. The conversation covers the welcoming spirit of The Yoga Effect studio, its diverse classes, and the importance of community in Grayslake. Fun rapid-fire questions reveal Sally's personality, while local sponsors and events reinforce the hometown feel. Listeners are invited to try a free yoga class and discover the benefits of mindfulness, movement, and connection in Grayslake. The True Essence of Yoga: Beyond the Poses Sally Gill's journey with yoga began not with the physical postures, but with meditation and breathwork—tools she used to manage performance anxiety as a young dancer. This foundation shaped her understanding of yoga as a holistic practice. Key Insights: Yoga is an Eight-Limbed Path: While most people associate yoga with physical poses (asanas), Sally emphasizes that yoga encompasses eight elements, including ethical principles, breath control (pranayama), and meditation (dhyana). Actionable Tip: Explore breathwork and meditation alongside physical practice. Even a few minutes of mindful breathing can reduce stress and improve focus. Stillness is Powerful: The most challenging pose, according to Sally, is often shavasana (final relaxation). Lying still and being present is where true transformation happens. Actionable Tip: Don't skip shavasana! Allow yourself time at the end of each practice to rest and absorb the benefits. Yoga Sparks Creativity: Sally finds her best ideas come during moments of stillness, especially in shavasana. Actionable Tip: Use your yoga practice as a space for creative reflection. Keep a journal nearby to capture insights that arise. Yoga for Everyone: Breaking Down Barriers A recurring theme in the episode is the inclusivity of yoga. Sally is passionate about dispelling the myth that yoga is only for the flexible or physically adept. Key Insights: Yoga is for All Ages, Genders, and Abilities: The Yoga Effect welcomes everyone, regardless of experience or physical condition. Actionable Tip: If you're new or hesitant, start with a gentle or restorative class. These are designed to be accessible and supportive. Men in Yoga: While 70% of students are women, men are increasingly discovering the benefits, especially in restorative classes. Actionable Tip: Men: Try a restorative or gentle class. You might be surprised by the mental and physical benefits. No Need for Perfection: Yoga is about presence, not performance. Actionable Tip: Focus on how you feel, not how you look. Progress in yoga is measured by increased awareness and comfort, not by achieving advanced poses. Building Community Through Yoga The Yoga Effect is more than a studio—it's a hub for connection and support in Grayslake. Key Insights: A Welcoming Space: The studio's recent move to a larger, more accessible location reflects its commitment to serving the community. Actionable Tip: Engage with your local studio's events and social media. Community is built both inside and outside the classroom. Long-Term Relationships: Many students have practiced at The Yoga Effect since its founding, forming deep friendships and support networks. Actionable Tip: Attend workshops, retreats, or social events to deepen your connections. Supporting Local Businesses: The podcast highlights the interconnectedness of Grayslake's business community, from yoga studios to real estate agents and legal services. Actionable Tip: Support local businesses and participate in community events to foster a sense of belonging. Yoga and Running: A Powerful Partnership Sally's passion for running complements her yoga practice, illustrating how the two disciplines support each other. Key Insights: Running as Moving Meditation: For Sally, running is a form of meditation, offering clarity and presence. Actionable Tip: Try mindful running: focus on your breath and surroundings rather than speed or distance. Yoga for Runners: Yoga helps runners with flexibility, injury prevention, and recovery. Actionable Tip: Incorporate yoga stretches before and after runs. Attend yoga classes designed for athletes. Endurance and Willpower: Sally's experience with long-distance running underscores the mental strength developed through both yoga and running. Actionable Tip: Use yoga to build resilience and mental fortitude, skills that translate to all areas of life. Retreats, Workshops, and Lifelong Learning The Yoga Effect offers more than regular classes—it's a center for growth and exploration. Key Insights: Diverse Offerings: With 23–25 classes weekly and 15 teachers, there's something for every schedule and interest. Actionable Tip: Explore different class styles to find what resonates with you. Retreats and Workshops: Retreats combine yoga, meditation, journaling, and mindful eating, often inspired by longevity hotspots like Italy's Blue Zones. Actionable Tip: Attend a retreat or workshop to deepen your practice and connect with others. Continuing Education: Even experienced teachers benefit from learning and practicing with others. Actionable Tip: Stay curious. Take classes from different instructors and seek out new learning opportunities. Actionable Tips for Yoga Beginners Sally offers practical advice for those new to yoga or considering their first class. Step-by-Step Guide: Start with Gentle or Beginner Classes: Restorative yoga can be challenging for absolute beginners; gentle classes offer a supportive introduction. Use Props: Don't hesitate to use blocks, straps, or bolsters. They make poses more accessible and comfortable. Focus on Breath: Breathwork is foundational. Practice simple breathing exercises to calm the mind and body. Be Patient with Yourself: Progress takes time. Celebrate small victories and listen to your body. Take Advantage of Free Offers: The Yoga Effect offers a free first class—sign up online or email Sally directly (sally@theyogaeffect.com) and mention the podcast for your complimentary session. Prioritize Consistency Over Intensity: Regular practice, even if brief, is more beneficial than occasional intense sessions. Embracing Change and Finding Your Path Sally's story is a testament to resilience and the unexpected gifts of change. Key Insights: Turning Setbacks into Opportunities: Losing her corporate job at 40 was devastating, but it opened the door to a more fulfilling life teaching yoga and theater arts. Living Authentically: Sally's journey underscores the importance of aligning your work with your values and passions. Advice for Life's Crossroads: When faced with change, look for the hidden opportunities. Trust that new paths can lead to greater fulfillment. The Grayslake Spirit: Local Businesses and Community The episode is woven with shout-outs to Grayslake's vibrant business community, from physical therapy centers to local breweries and the farmer's market. Key Insights: Community Support: Local businesses, like The Yoga Effect, play a vital role in revitalizing and sustaining the town's spirit. Events and Engagement: Participating in local events, such as the farmer's market or bingo night, strengthens community bonds. Resource Sharing: The podcast's sponsors and guests highlight the value of sharing resources and supporting one another. Final Thoughts: Taking the First Step Yoga is self-care, community, and a path to personal growth. Sally Gill's story and The Yoga Effect's mission remind us that it's never too late to start, and that everyone—regardless of background or ability—can benefit from yoga.

In this episode, Dan and Steve Fouts are joined by Mitchell Conway to explore a quote from Henry David Thoreau: “It's not a man's duty as a matter of course, to devote himself to the eradication of any, even the most enormous wrong, but it is his duty at least to wash his hands of it.” Mitchell shares his diverse experiences in education, emphasizing the importance of philosophy in teaching across various age groups. The discussion explores the role of age in philosophical discourse, the transformative potential of education, and the significance of the Teach Different Method.

Whether you're tuning into the Holistic Healing Hour podcast or catching the latest videos on my YouTube channel, we're always exploring ways to live healthier and happier.Recently, I've been thinking about some fundamental questions regarding our well-being. On the podcast, we asked: Feeling drained despite getting enough rest? Could unseen energy imbalances be the culprit? (Expand on this, briefly discuss the concept of energy in holistic healing, perhaps mentioning Qi or other relevant concepts without getting too technical. Refer back to the podcast episode if applicable).And over on YouTube, the question we posed was: Is your daily routine truly supporting your long-term well-being, or are there hidden pieces of the puzzle missing? (Discuss the importance of daily habits, perhaps show some examples of simple wellness practices like mindful movement, healthy eating tips, or stress reduction techniques. Refer to relevant YouTube videos).It's so important to look beyond just the obvious aspects of health. Sometimes, the key in the equation for feeling truly vibrant ,lies in understanding the subtle energies within us and making small, consistent adjustments to our daily routines. Whether it's exploring holistic energy practices on the podcast or incorporating simple wellness habits you see on the YouTube channel, remember that every step, no matter how small, contributes to your overall well-being.I encourage you to ponder these questions and explore the resources on both my podcast and YouTube channel.

Hello Beloved. ”THE MYSTERIES OF GOD HAVE BEEN REVEALED.”For those that knock - and demand the truth….text everything and bring it into light. Today we dip our toe into the lost books of teh bible and how the walk of Jesus far outstretched in what is portrayed in the bible according to the validity of the Essenes ( lost books of the bible discovered ). This is not a religious belief conversation, it is a historic overview of curiosity and deeper revelation of truth through a open mind and heart. That said…..LET'S HOP IN! POINT BLANK: One of the greatest spiritual enigmas of all time—the kind that makes you tilt your head and whisper, “Wait, what?”—is the missing 18 years of Jesus's life.You know the ones.The Gospels tell us about his birth, his moment of brilliance at age 12 in the temple, and then… silence.Until he reappears at 30, ready to turn the world inside out.It's as if the most formative years of the most influential spiritual teacher in history were tucked away behind a curtain.But what if that curtain is ready to be pulled back?Exploring the Lost YearsNow, I'm not here to sell you on conspiracy theories or fringe ideas just for the thrill of it.But I am here to explore the beautiful, messy, and fascinating mosaic of possibilities that suggest Jesus's “lost years” were anything but idle.There's a growing body of scholarship, oral tradition, and even ancient manuscripts that hint Jesus may have spent these years not in obscurity, but in study, in pilgrimage, and in deep spiritual practice across some of the most sacred lands on Earth.The Essene ConnectionLet's start with the Essenes.These weren't your average desert dwellers.They were a mystical Jewish sect living near the Dead Sea, devoted to ritual purity, communal living, and a prophetic vision of a coming teacher who would uplift humanity.Some scholars, like Edmund Bordeaux Szekely in The Essene Gospel of Peace, suggest Jesus was trained by them—immersed in their practices of fasting, healing, and spiritual discipline.The Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered in 1947 at Qumran, echo teachings of divine justice, purity, and a “Teacher of Righteousness” that feel uncannily similar to Jesus's later message (see: Vermes, G., The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English).Echoes of KabbalahAnd then there's the thread of Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition that dives deep into the nature of God, the soul, and the cosmos.Lawrence Gardner, in The Magdalene Legacy, proposes that Jesus was not just a preacher but a mystic—someone who understood the Tree of Life, the sacred geometry of creation, and the divine spark within all beings.When Jesus says in the Gospel of John, “I and the Father are one,” he's not just being poetic.He's articulating a mystical truth that resonates deeply with Kabbalistic teachings on unity and divine emanation.Journeys to EgyptBut the trail doesn't stop in Judea.It winds its way south to Egypt, where the ancient Mystery Schools taught the secrets of resurrection, inner alchemy, and soul initiation.Gerald Massey, in The Historical Jesus and the Mythical Christ, draws parallels between Jesus and Osiris—the Egyptian god of death and rebirth.Manly P. Hall, in The Secret Teachings of All Ages, even suggests Jesus may have been initiated in the Great Pyramid itself, undergoing the sacred rites of transformation.Egypt wasn't just a place of pyramids and pharaohs—it was a spiritual university, and Jesus may have been one of its most dedicated students.The Indian SojournAnd then—this is where it gets really juicy—there's India.Yes, India.The land of sages, yogis, and the Upanishads.The connection begins at his birth, with the Magi—wise men from the East, possibly Hindu rishis—who followed a star not just in the sky, but in their inner vision.In Indian spiritual tradition, the “star in the east” refers to the third eye, the gateway to divine insight.Their gifts—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—were traditional offerings for newborns in India, not just symbolic tokens.Fast forward a few decades, and we find the most intriguing account of all: The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ by Russian journalist Nicolas Notovitch.In the late 1800s, Notovitch claimed to have discovered Tibetan manuscripts in a monastery in Ladakh, describing the life of “Issa”—a name used for Jesus—who traveled through India, Nepal, and Tibet.These texts describe a young man fleeing societal expectations, studying the Vedas in Puri, challenging the caste system, and preaching universal love and nonviolence.Later, in Tibet, he studied Buddhist sutras—teachings that echo in his later messages about humility, renunciation, and inner peace.Now, Notovitch's claims were met with skepticism, of course.But Swami Abhedananda, a respected Indian monk, later traveled to the same monastery and corroborated the existence of the texts.Paramahansa Yogananda, in his spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi, also referenced Jesus's time in India, emphasizing the harmony between Christ's teachings and the yogic path of self-realization.This wasn't about borrowing ideas—it was a soul recognizing truth across borders.The Aquarian GospelAnd if you're still with me (thank you), let's talk about The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ, written by Levi H. Dowling in 1908.Dowling claimed to have transcribed the book from the Akashic Records—a kind of cosmic memory bank.The Aquarian Gospel offers a sweeping narrative of Jesus's travels through India, Persia, Greece, and Egypt, learning from every major spiritual tradition of the time.Whether or not you believe in the Akashic Records, the book paints a compelling picture of a Jesus who was not only divine but deeply human—curious, humble, and committed to understanding the universal truths that bind us all.Mainstream PerspectivesOf course, mainstream Christianity has struggled with these ideas.The Gospels are silent on these years, and the Church has historically resisted narratives that suggest Jesus learned from other traditions.But let's be honest: the Bible has been edited, translated, and reinterpreted countless times.Can we really say we have the whole story?Or is it possible that what we've been given is just one chapter in a much larger, richer tale?A Bridge Between WorldsBecause here's the thing: When we allow ourselves to explore these possibilities—not as dogma, but as sacred curiosity—we begin to see Jesus not just as a figure of worship, but as a bridge.A bridge between East and West.Between the mystical and the practical.Between the divine and the human.His teachings on inward prayer, fasting, and the kingdom of God within mirror the meditative practices of yoga and the self-inquiry of the Upanishads.His parables echo the allegorical wisdom of Egyptian initiation rites.His message of love, compassion, and inner transformation is, in essence, the heart of every great spiritual tradition.And maybe, just maybe, that's the point.That truth is not a possession, but a path.That divinity is not a hierarchy, but a homecoming.And that Jesus, in his lost years, wasn't lost at all—but walking the long, sacred road that would prepare him to light the way for us all.Your thoughts? xo Kassandra.

Kyria Sabin began her journey with Pilates in 1991 while living in Los Angeles and working as an art gallery director. Teaching Pilates was never part of her original path. However, her lifelong interest in fitness led her to eventually catch the bug for Pilates. After attending a workshop with renowned Pilates "Elder" Ron Fletcher, he encouraged her to teach the method, though she initially resisted. Despite her intentions to head to law school, Kyria's passion for Pilates ultimately changed her trajectory, shaping her future as a leading educator in the field. Pete and Kyria continue on to discuss the origins of Fletcher Pilates, the evolution of teacher training, and what sets Pilates apart as a transformative practice with remarkable return on time invested. She opens up about the rigors of Pilates instructor certification, the expansion of Fletcher Pilates' international licensing program, and how the method's focus on quality movement has led to life-changing results for clients of all ages. On international expansion Sabin states, "After we developed the program, we had people coming in from Asia, Europe, South America . . . all wanting to study his [Ron's] lineage of the work. We quickly realized is that we could reach many more people if we sent teachers to those countries." Key themes discussed Growth and evolution of Pilates as a fitness modality. History and legacy of Fletcher Pilates. Intensive process of Pilates instructor certification. International expansion through licensing and teacher training. Impact of group classes and mass-market Pilates studios. Value of in-person Pilates versus online instruction. Pilates benefits for diverse age groups and populations. A few key takeaways:  1. Pilates as a Transformational Practice: Sabin's experience highlights how Pilates isn't just about exercise—it's about quality movement, efficiency, and transformative change in both mind and body. She shares her experiences being a client to realizing the profound physical benefits, describing it as a return on time investment with fantastic results. 2. Rigorous Teacher Training and Legacy: Unlike quick certifications in other fitness fields, becoming a Fletcher Pilates instructor is a comprehensive process that can take up to two years. Sabin emphasizes that students must first experience the work deeply themselves before teaching, underscoring the importance of depth and mastery in the method. 3. Pilates' Global Reach: The growth of Fletcher Pilates worldwide happened both organically and intentionally. Demand from students in Asia, Europe, and South America led to a licensing model, making it possible for people to access quality teaching without always having to travel extensively. This preserves the lineage while also expanding its reach. 4. Pilates for All Ages and Backgrounds: Kyria advocates for Pilates as a lifelong practice accessible to everyone from young people to seniors. She's seen significant improvements in posture, strength, and balance at all ages, and challenges the notion that older adults are limited to just "maintenance."  5. Personal Touch Still Matters: With the continued emergence of online and at-home Pilates offerings, Kyria remains firm on the value of in-person training, especially at the start of someone's practice. She believes the energy, supervision, and personal connection play a significant role in a student's success and safety, calling remote work more supplemental than foundational.

Paul Thomas, MD, well-known retired pediatrician, joins The Feds this week to shed light on the corruption within the medical system that attempted to strip him of his ability to provide informed consent. After witnessing healthy children become autistic within his own practice, he began studying the vaccinations he offered. He published The Vaccine Friendly Plan, providing informed consent for his readers and suggesting an alternative vaccination plan. The Oregon Medical Board then asked him to prove his plan was safer and more effective than the CDC schedule. He responded by hiring outside analysts and conducting a vaxxed-unvaxxed study within his own practice. After his findings, and during COVID, the medical board stripped him of his license. This week, we hear his story, including an update regarding his lawsuit, discuss waning immunity in the middle-aged population, chat about the recent measles cases, and talk about his new book, Vax Facts: What to Consider before Vaccinating at All Ages and Stages of Life.

BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour! Today, we're not just moving our bodies, we're moving our souls with the incredible power of music! And we're going to make it stick in your mind with a super cool Memory Palace!"Grandpa Bill says: "Alright, close your eyes (not if you're driving, folks!), and let's imagine our Memory Palace. We're going to call it the 'Harmonious Health Hall'. Picture it: a grand, beautiful hall, maybe with stained-glass windows shimmering with musical notes, and the air just hums with good vibes. This is where we'll store the secrets to music's health benefits.Grandpa Bill: Now, we're going to use a special trick called PAO – Person, Action, Object. It's like a mini-story for each benefit, making it super sticky. Here are three key benefits we'll place in our Harmonious Health Hall:Memory Palace Location: Imagine this right at the entrance of our Harmonious Health Hall.PAO:Grandpa Bill's Story: "As you step into our Harmonious Health Hall, there's Elvis Presley, cool as a cucumber, crooning a gentle lullaby. He's standing next to a Giant Soothing Lavender Lamp, just glowing with peace. That's right, folks, music, especially choir singing and dancing, helps reduce stress and anxiety! It's like Elvis himself is telling your worries to 'Return to Sender'!"Memory Palace Location: In the center of the Harmonious Health Hall, perhaps on a grand dance floor.PAO:Grandpa Bill's Story: "Now, look straight ahead into the heart of our hall. Who do you see? It's Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, absolutely twirling with pure joy under a magnificent, Giant Sparkling Disco Ball! They're having a blast, laughing, totally connected. This reminds us that music, especially dancing and singing in a choir, boosts your mood and strengthens social connections! Get up and move with your fellow Silver Streakers!"Memory Palace Location: At the far end of the Harmonious Health Hall, near a stage or grand piano.PAO:Grandpa Bill's Story: "Walk with me now to the other end of the hall, near the stage. And who's up there? None other than Albert Einstein, with a big smile, conducting an invisible orchestra with incredible focus! Next to him is a Glowing Brain-Shaped Jigsaw Puzzle, with all the pieces perfectly fitting together. That's music, folks! Engaging with music, whether it's learning an instrument, singing, or dancing, actually enhances your cognitive function and sharpens your memory! Keep those brain cells boogieing!"Grandpa Bill: "There you have it, my magnificent Memory Palace mavens! Elvis soothing your stress, Fred and Ginger twirling with joy and connection, and Einstein conducting your brilliant brain!

In this episode, I listen to a rare and profound lecture by one of the greatest esoteric teachers of the 20th century—Manly P. Hall. Recorded on August 8, 1964 and titled 'Developing the Skills to Make Decisions', this timeless talk explores the metaphysical mechanics behind our choices, the energetic signature of decision-making, and how even the smallest decision echoes into the greater fabric of reality.Hall's multidimensional breakdown reveals that every decision is more than just a choice—it's an act of creative power. He unpacks how our conscious and unconscious intentions shape outcomes, influence karma, and shift the direction of our life path. He also talks about decision as a clarifier, he helps us understand how to align our decisions with higher principles, cultivating a life that resonates with truth and meaning.Join me as we travel back in time to absorb the wisdom of a true master, whose words still guide seekers on the path of awakening.www.prs.orgManly P. Hall Bio:Manly Palmer Hall (March 18, 1901 – August 29, 1990) was a renowned philosopher, author, and mystic who delved deeply into esoteric traditions and spiritual knowledge. Born in Peterborough, Ontario, Hall moved to the United States at a young age and soon became a prominent lecturer on occult and metaphysical topics. His curiosity and passion for ancient wisdom culminated in the publication of *The Secret Teachings of All Ages* in 1928, a monumental work that explores the symbolic meanings behind myths, religions, alchemy, mysticism, and secret societies.Hall's ability to synthesize complex spiritual ideas from diverse traditions made him a unique figure in the 20th-century spiritual landscape. Over his lifetime, he authored more than 150 books and delivered over 8,000 lectures. His teachings spanned subjects such as Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, astrology, comparative religion, and the symbolism found in sacred texts.In 1934, Hall founded the Philosophical Research Society (PRS) in Los Angeles, a center dedicated to the study of philosophy, comparative religion, and personal development. The PRS continues to preserve his vast collection of manuscripts and teachings.Hall's work has had a lasting impact on those seeking spiritual growth, often serving as a bridge between modern spiritual seekers and ancient wisdom traditions. Despite passing away in 1990 under mysterious circumstances, Hall's influence remains significant among students of esoteric and philosophical studies. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I connect with Seth Kaplan, author of the recent book "Fragile Neighborhoods" and a recent article "The Real User Interface: Recovering Our Neighborhoods," for a conversation about the challenges of our current community designs and how we can make our neighborhoods less fragile, or to channel Nassim Taleb, make our neighborhoods "Anti-Fragile" once again.Seth argues that our planners and engineers have built a physical landscape optimized for cars but minimized for actual human relationships, suggesting that the automobile is arguably the technology that has made the biggest impact on our associational life while our spread-out community design isolates and divides, weakening the bonds that tie us together. This is especially problematic for children, whose opportunities for spontaneous free play—and the constructive friction that self-organized activities create—are further limited when the physical landscape discourages exploration. He emphasizes that having meaningful destinations within comfortable walking distance is key to building strong ties between us.Thank you so much for tuning in!
