"Out of that primal substance arose ether,  endowed with the subtle quality of sound. Then arose air, characterized by the quality of touch, followed by fire, characterized by visible form." जलं रसात्मकं पशात् ततो गन्धात्मिका धरा | शब्दैकगुण आकासो वायुः स्पर्शरवानितः || २८ || jalaṃ rasātmakaṃ paśāt tato gandhātmikā dharā | śabdaika-guṇa ākāso vāyuḥ sparśa-ravānitaḥ || 28 || 28. "Next arose water, characterized by taste; then earth, characterized by smell.

"One half-part of each element shall be divided into four, O Mountain. By joining the undivided half of each element with one of the quartered fractions from each of the other four, each element becomes five-fold." तत्कार्यं च विराड्देहः स्थूलदेहोऽयमात्मनः |  tat-kāryaṃ ca virāḍ-dehaḥ sthūla-deho'yamātmanaḥ | 34. "And they produce the Cosmic Body, or Gross Body, of the Self."

Paul Austin isn't here to evangelize psychedelics. He's here to demystify them.As the founder and CEO of Third Wave, Paul has spent a decade educating the public on responsible psychedelic use—from microdosing protocols to full-dose journeys. In this episode, he shares how psychedelics are being used not just to treat mental health conditions, but to enhance leadership, decision-making, and personal clarity.We explore the science of neuroplasticity, the legal gray zones, and the risks of skipping the prep work.

Begin with microdosing. Build awareness before diving deep.”The Snow Globe and the Ski Slope: Two Metaphors That Explain It All“Think of psychedelics as shaking up the snow globe.

Summary of the Message: “The Song of Mary: What is Your Song?” By Pastor Bryan Hudson, DMin. (Generated by OpenAI) Download Worksheet: “Developing Your Song” What is this kind of “song?” It is a testimonial, a joyful and faith-filled declaration of God's mercy, faithfulness and power in fulfilling His purpose through chosen vessels.  Luke 1:46, And Mary said:“My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.   48 For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.  49 For He who is mighty has done great things for me, And holy is His name.   50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation.  He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.   52 He has put down the mighty from their thrones, And exalted the lowly.   53 He has filled the hungry with good things, And the rich He has sent away empty.  54 He has helped His servant Israel, In remembrance of His mercy,  55 As He spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed forever.” Pastor Bryan Hudson explores Mary's Song, also known as The Magnificat (Luke 1:46–55), as both a biblical testimony and a model for personal reflection. Mary's declaration of praise to God was not merely a song in the musical sense but a profound testimony of God's mercy, power, and covenant faithfulness. Key Themes of the Message: Your Song is Your Testimony: Like Mary, every believer has a “song”—a personal testimony of God's work in their life. This song is meant to glorify God and bless future generations, not just recount personal experiences. Five Elements of Mary's Song: Rejoicing – Worship and joy in God (v. 46-47) Regarding – Humility in recognizing God's favor (v. 48) Reflecting – Acknowledging God's legacy and mercy through generations (v. 49-50) Revealing – Understanding divine purpose and justice (v. 51-53) Recognition – Remembering God's covenant and faithfulness (v. 54-55) Application to Our Lives: Believers are encouraged to reflect on their own song using these five elements. Worship is more than singing; it is how we live and respond to God. Testimonies should include humility, legacy, purpose, and an awareness of covenant relationship with God. Mary's experience is uniquely maternal, highlighting the vital role of mothers in God's redemptive plan. Broader Biblical Context: Dr. Hudson compares Mary's song to other biblical songs—such as those of Moses, Miriam, Deborah, David, and the redeemed in Revelation—to show that songs often arise from deliverance and divine encounter. Call to Honor Mothers and Recognize Their Role: The message honors the spiritual and physical significance of mothers, encouraging all to show gratitude while mothers are still present. Birth, both physical and spiritual, is tied to God's greater plan and purpose. Final Charge: Dr. Hudson encourages listeners to reflect, write, and live out their own song, as a testimony of God's mercy and purpose in their lives. Mary's song, born of deep spiritual insight and humility, is a pattern for how believers today can shape their impact on the world and future generations.

Host: Jason Rigby   Guest: Elizabeth Anne Johnson, Animal Healer and Author Book: Know Your Dog's True Nature: Understanding Canine Personality through the Five Elements (Findhorn Press/Inner Traditions Episode Overview   In this enlightening episode of the HDL Podcast, host Jason Rigby welcomes Elizabeth Anne Johnson, an animal healer with nearly 40 years of experience and the author of Know Your Dog's True Nature. Together, they explore the ancient Five Element Theory from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a sacred map to understanding canine personalities and the profound spiritual bond between humans and dogs. From the soul-level pact forged centuries ago to the karmic mirroring of rescue dogs, this conversation unveils how our furry companions guide us toward healing, self-discovery, and a deeper connection to nature.     Key Segments and Highlights   Introduction (00:00 - 01:06) Jason's Welcome: Jason introduces the episode with enthusiasm, highlighting Elizabeth's book and its promise to decode the soul of dogs through the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. He frames dogs as more than pets—sacred guides reconnecting us to our wild hearts. Elizabeth's Greeting: Elizabeth expresses her excitement to join Jason and dive into this fun, spiritual exploration.   The Ancient Soul Pact Between Humans and Dogs (01:06 - 04:47) Question: Jason references a poetic line from the book—“Dogs too have endured and thrived beside us as we have beside them”—and asks about the soul-level pact humans made with dogs centuries ago. Elizabeth's Insight: She describes this pact as rooted in “kindred respect” between two natural beings—humans and dogs—meeting with curiosity and a sense of safety. Historically, dogs helped humans hunt and find food, while humans offered warmth, companionship, and protection. This 50-50 exchange has evolved into a modern pact where humans strive to hear dogs' voices and honor their wild essence. Practical Tip: Elizabeth encourages letting dogs spend time outdoors to stimulate their senses, a nod to their feral roots, enhancing the bond and their happiness.   The Five Elements: An Elemental Awakening (04:47 - 05:13) Jason's Prompt: Quoting the book's line about the Five Elements providing “X-ray vision” into a dog's personality, Jason sets the stage for a deep dive into Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, noting their dual role in understanding dogs and ourselves. Elizabeth's Macro View: She frames the Five Element Theory as a 5,000-year-old, nature-based “mindful guidance system” fostering compassion, empathy, and understanding across species. Rooted in her personal journey—finding solace in nature amid a challenging childhood—the theory connects behaviors to natural cycles, offering a lens beyond mere archetypes.   Exploring the Five Elements (05:13 - 39:09) 1. Wood Element: Spring and Growth (07:46 - 14:22) Overview: Associated with spring, Wood dogs are determined, purposeful “army sergeants” (e.g., Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, Rottweilers) excelling as working dogs in military or police roles. Traits: Athletic, fearless, competitive, with a need for movement and direction. Their emotional default is anger, manifesting as aggression or frustration in dogs. Spiritual Angle: Jason probes the interplay of energies when Wood dogs' growth isn't guided. Elizabeth explains their energy seeks movement; without clear boundaries, they take over, reflecting a need for humans to lead with presence and heart-centered direction rather than force. Practical Tip: Set consistent boundaries and offer gentle praise (“good dog”) to channel their potential, avoiding overstimulation with excessive rewards.   2. Fire Element: Summer and Joy (14:22 - 22:32) Overview: Fire dogs embody summer's joy, acting as magnetic “divas” (e.g., Golden Retrievers, Border Collies with red hues) who thrive on social connection and adoration. Traits: Charismatic, playful, prone to separation anxiety, with barking and licking as their sense expressions (tongue). Their emotional default is “disturbance of the Shen” (panic, anxiety) when overstimulated. Spiritual Angle: Fire's heart-centric nature leaves lasting impressions, reflecting humanity's draw to fire for warmth and memory-making. Elizabeth shares how these dogs linger in people's hearts long after they're gone. Practical Tip: Ground yourself and use the Yin Tang acupoint (between the eyebrows) to calm their heart fire, restoring balance during anxiety spikes.   3. Earth Element: Late Summer and Nurturing (22:32 - 24:50) Overview: Earth dogs, tied to late summer, are quintessential caregivers (e.g., Labs) who love family, kids, and routine, offering gentle, nurturing energy. Traits: Kind, generous, slow-moving, with a knack for service roles like Reading with Rover or disease detection. Their emotional default is worry or obsession. Spiritual Angle: Mirroring Earth's role in sustaining life, these dogs caretake unconditionally, teaching humans reciprocity with nature. Practical Tip: Maintain a peaceful, routine-based home to meet their need for stability and comfort.   4. Metal Element: Autumn and Purpose (24:50 - 28:22) Overview: Metal dogs, autumn's purposeful “librarians” (e.g., Jack Russells), are intelligent, driven, and inflexible, excelling in search and rescue with their strong noses. Traits: Methodical, reserved, with a deep need for purpose and trust. Their emotional default is grief, especially after loss. Spiritual Angle: Reflecting metal's mined rigidity, they teach precision and loyalty, challenging humans to earn trust through consistency. Practical Tip: Provide quiet recovery spaces and purposeful tasks (e.g., hiking, scent work) to honor their drive.   5. Water Element: Winter and Wisdom (28:22 - 39:09) Overview: Water dogs, winter's empathic shapeshifters, embody wisdom and sensitivity, often rehomed due to visceral fear (e.g., Labs in a broader sense, but defined by behavior, not breed). Traits: Deep, quirky, reflective, with hearing as their sense and a tendency to mirror human fears. Many, like Elizabeth's Pretzel, have traumatic starts. Spiritual Angle: Jason asks about fear and wisdom's alchemy. Elizabeth shares how water dogs' fear drives growth, reflecting karmic wounds (e.g., her own fearlessness turned off, now relearned). They push humans to face inner fears for mutual healing. Practical Tip: Offer patience, quiet presence, and trust-building to help them adapt, recognizing their role as spiritual teachers.   Preparing for a Soul Bond with a Dog (39:09 - 44:18) Question: Jason asks how to spiritually prepare for meeting a dog and ensure a soul bond beyond superficial attraction. Elizabeth's Advice: Be Present and Grounded: Quiet the mind, feel your feet, and breathe to let your heart—not brain—lead. Heart as Voice: Process through the heart first, then let the mind follow   Links: Purchase the book: ElizabethAnneJohnson.com/books Watch Elizabeth's TEDx Talk: Four Life Lessons from Our Old Dogs Websites: ElizabethAnneJohnson.com | 4LeggedWellness.com Instagram: @5elementdogs Facebook: ElizabethJohnson4Leggeds | Profile LinkedIn: 4LeggedWellness

Part 1 How to Be an Adult in Relationships by David Richo Summary"How to Be an Adult in Relationships" by David Richo focuses on how emotional maturity and self-awareness play crucial roles in building healthy and fulfilling relationships. Here's a summary of the key concepts from the book:Self-Awareness and Emotional Maturity Richo emphasizes the importance of understanding oneself to navigate relationships successfully. This includes recognizing one's own needs, feelings, fears, and patterns of behavior that affect interactions with others. By becoming more self-aware, individuals can respond to situations rather than react impulsively.Taking Responsibility Adults in relationships take responsibility for their thoughts and actions. This means owning one's feelings, rather than projecting them onto partners. Richo advises that each person should work toward being accountable and understanding how personal choices influence relationship dynamics.Setting Boundaries A crucial aspect of being an adult in relationships is knowing how and when to set healthy boundaries. Richo provides guidance on identifying one's limits, communicating them clearly, and respecting others' boundaries as well.Effective Communication Open, honest communication is foundational to successful relationships. Richo encourages readers to express their needs and feelings without blame or criticism. Learning to listen actively and empathetically is also crucial.Accepting Imperfection Richo discusses the importance of accepting both ourselves and our partners as imperfect beings. He advocates for compassion towards oneself and others, and understanding that mistakes and shortcomings are a natural part of being human.The Role of Vulnerability Being vulnerable is highlighted as a strength in relationships. Sharing one's fears and insecurities can deepen intimacy and trust. Richo suggests that vulnerability fosters connection when approached with openness and honesty.Balancing Independence and Togetherness Richo emphasizes the need for individuals to maintain their independence while also nurturing a close, intertwined relationship. This balance is essential to healthy partnerships where both individuals can grow personally and as a couple.Therapeutic Exercises The book includes practical exercises and reflections to help readers apply the principles discussed. These activities encourage readers to assess their own experiences, practice deeper self-reflection, and build healthier relational habits.

We're joined by Paul Austin, CEO of Third Wave, who believes psychedelics can be powerful tools for transformation—when used responsibly. While these substances remain illegal in many places and are wrapped in ongoing medical and legal debates, Paul is on a mission to educate, not evangelize.As your host, I keep this forum open to diverse voices, not to pass judgment but to spark critical thinking. We explore the myths and realities of psychedelics—how they might enhance mental clarity, creativity, and personal growth, while also addressing safety concerns, legal roadblocks, and the importance of responsible use.Curious about how legalization and decriminalization efforts are unfolding globally?

In this illuminating episode, I sit down with Kevin Kahakula'akea John Fong —an internationally recognized cultural translator, facilitator, and speaker whose work bridges ancient wisdom with modern healing.We begin by exploring how history can offer perspective on today's chaos, reflecting on past global crises and the role of queer leaders in shaping a new path forward. We discuss the medicine of being seen, heard, and connected—and the vital role of bridge-makers in an increasingly divisive world.Kevin introduces us to the Five Elements (Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal), an ancient East Asian framework for balance and well-being—one he first learned from his grandmother and later applied while directing an AIDS clinic in the Bay Area during the height of the epidemic. Through a personal Five Elements reading, I get a firsthand experience of how this wisdom can guide our daily choices, from setting boundaries to creating environments where we thrive.We also talk about our relationships with nature, the ways it nurtures and nourishes us, and how our elemental makeup influences our paths. We leave you with an invitation to tap into your queer joy.Check out Kevin's work at: https://www.kahakulei.com/And find more info about The Five Elements and their new book at https://my5elements.life/Connect with Wil at https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/Support the show

[This episode originally aired on February 7, 2023]  Early Buddhist meditators spent quite a lot of time alone in retreat in remote, rugged areas  •  as a result, they were very much in tune with the the five basic elements of earth, water, fire, wind, and space  •  they observed that everything inside is mirrored by what is outside, and everything outside is mirrored by what is inside  •  the earth element has the quality of being solid, embodied, unmoving  •  the water element has a quality of flowing, cleansing, and cohesion  •  the element of fire is connected with warmth, compassion, and burning through obstacles  •  the element of wind is powerful and energetic; it is connected with movement in our nervous system, a constant energizing and moving quality  •  finally, the element of space is like the sky: it is vast, unbounded, open  •  in life and in our practice we can bring these elements into balance and harmony for the benefit of ourselves and all beings.

Grandpa Bill's Grunts & Groans @billholt8792  Exploring the Roots of Chinese Mental Health Grandpa Bill Asks: 1. "Have you ever experienced any of the emotional imbalances discussed in today's episode? If so, how did you cope with them? Did you find any of the traditional Chinese medicine concepts or practices helpful?" reflect on YOUR own experiences and share YOUR personal stories. GB invites one and all to connect with the topic on a deeper level and consider how these ancient concepts might relate to YOUR own lives. GB encourages YOU to share coping mechanisms and insights that could be valuable to other listeners. 2. "How do you think the integration of traditional Chinese medicine principles and Western psychiatric approaches can benefit mental health care? What are the potential challenges and considerations?" Grandpa Bill: "Alright folks, let's delve deeper into the fascinating history of mental health in China. Before we dive into that first published classification scheme in 1979, we need to understand the rich tapestry of ideas that shaped Chinese perspectives on mental well-being." Grandpa Bill's Grunts & Groans Today Grandpa Bill Talks Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): "For centuries, TCM has viewed the human body as an intricate system of interconnected energy pathways, or meridians. The smooth flow of Qi (pronounced 'chee'), or vital energy, is crucial for physical and mental health. When this flow is disrupted, imbalances arise, leading to both physical and emotional distress." "Concepts like Yin and Yang, representing opposing yet complementary forces, are fundamental to TCM. These forces must be in harmony for optimal health. An imbalance, such as an excess of Yin or Yang, can manifest as various physical and mental symptoms." "TCM practitioners believe that emotions are closely linked to the body's organs. For example, excessive anger is associated with the liver, while grief and sadness are linked to the lungs." The Five Elements: "The concept of the Five Elements – Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water – plays a significant role in TCM. These elements are interconnected and influence each other, just as the organs and emotions are interconnected. An imbalance in one element can disrupt the flow of Qi and affect other elements and organs, leading to a cascade of symptoms." "For example, an excess of Fire energy might manifest as irritability and anger, while an imbalance in Water energy could be associated with fear and anxiety." Early Understandings of Mental Imbalance: "Based on these concepts, early Chinese medicine viewed mental and emotional disturbances as imbalances within the body and mind. These imbalances could arise from various factors, including: Physical factors: Dietary imbalances, environmental toxins, and physical injuries. Emotional factors: Stress, trauma, grief, and unresolved emotional conflicts. Spiritual factors: Disruptions in the flow of Qi and imbalances in the Five Elements." "Treatment approaches often focused on restoring balance through: Herbal remedies: Carefully selected herbs to regulate Qi, nourish organs, and address specific imbalances. Acupuncture and acupressure: To stimulate specific points on the body to regulate the flow of Qi and restore balance. Mind-body practices: Techniques such as Tai Chi and Qigong, which combine gentle movement, deep breathing, and meditation to cultivate inner peace and harmony." Grandpa Bill: "These ancient concepts and practices laid the foundation for how the Chinese approached mental health for centuries. While the 1979 classification scheme represents a significant shift towards a more modern approach, the influence of these traditional ideas can still be seen in contemporary Chinese psychiatry." #MentalHealth,#Psychiatry,#MentalDisorders, #Classification#DSM5,#ICD11,#MentalHealthAwareness,#Psychology,#Neurology,#Healthcare, #Science,#Research,#Medicine,#Treatment,#Stigma,#Support,#Advocacy,#Wellbeing, #Mindfulness,#SelfCare,

This episode offers a deep dive into the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine, focusing on balance as the key to physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Jocelyn Keoh, a Chinese medicine practitioner, shares profound insights into how elements like fire, metal, and water influence our well-being.

We're joined by Paul Austin, founder and CEO of Third Wave, who champions the responsible use of psychedelics for personal and leadership development. While psychedelics remain illegal in many places and continue to be the subject of ongoing legal and medical debate, Paul is educating the world on their potential benefits and the transformative role they could play in enhancing mental clarity, creativity, and growth. As the host, I offer this forum as a space for diverse voices to share their thoughts and insights on ideas that can help humanity move in a positive direction. My goal is not to pass judgment but to present different perspectives, asking questions that allow listeners to form their own opinions from the conversation. BBC: What psychedelics legalisation and decriminalisation looks like around the world. Paul shares how microdosing, when done carefully, has the potential to benefit a wide range of people—not just those with mental health challenges. We discuss the common misunderstandings about psychedelics, key legal and medical concerns, and, most importantly, safety considerations and responsible practices to approach this evolving tool for personal growth. Listen in to explore how psychedelics, when used thoughtfully, might serve as a powerful catalyst for transformation. Key Highlights of Our Interview: The Real Risks of Psychedelics: Safety First “While psychedelics promise transformation, the biggest risk isn't just physiological—it's legal. These substances are still illegal in most places, so getting caught can have serious consequences. Beyond that, psychedelics can create instability if not handled with the right support and a safe environment.” Mindset Matters: Intention in Psychedelic Use “The real benefits of psychedelics start with intention. Using them to learn, grow, or heal can unlock deep insights, but if it's just to escape reality, the impact is far less meaningful. For anyone interested, working with a professional—be it a coach, therapist, or shaman—is essential. Preparation and a safe setting are crucial for a transformative experience.” The Five Elements for a Safe and Meaningful Psychedelic Journey “There are five essential elements: assessment, preparation, facilitation, integration, and microdosing. From asking the right questions to committing fully to the experience, each step helps build a safe and transformative path. Start low, go slow, and choose to step into this journey for yourself—not for anyone else.” Microdosing as a Catalyst, Not a Crutch “Microdosing isn't about masking problems; it's about creating neuroplasticity for real change. With commitment—two to three times a week for 30 days—you can catalyze significant shifts in mood, decision-making, and self-awareness. But this journey, like any transformation, relies on intention and responsibility.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The Chai on Life Podcast. I'm Alex Segal, and today we are speaking with Miriam Pineles, a doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine practicing in Cedarhurst, NY.Miriam is someone who really heals from the inside out. I met Miriam almost five years ago now when I was pregnant with my first son and experiencing really horrible back pain in my third trimester. Miriam healed me in one week. I couldn't believe it. Honestly, before going to her, I was skeptical about acupuncture and had no interest in it but afterward I was completely sold and talking about it to everyone I knew.Throughout the last few years though, I've learned that it wasn't just the acupuncture or the healing techniques she used, it was Miriam herself. She is meant to be a healer. She is someone that holds space for so many individuals and when you're with her, she makes you feel like you are the only person that matters. In addition to her clinical practice, Miriam teaches “Living With The Elements,” a course she created to help women gain deeper self-awareness and foster harmony in their relationships and homes. If you want to learn more and sign up (it starts September 9!) you can do so at livingwiththeelements.com.In this interview, we speak more about the course she created and what you will get out of it as well as:-How she got into Chinese medicine and how it's deeply connected to Torah and Kabbalah-What is going on under the surface when you're getting acupuncture or Chinese medicine treatments and why they work-Where a lot of unhappiness and disease stem from-How we may be passing unresolved trauma and issues onto our kids — and how you can stop that-What the five elements of Chinese medicine are and how they connect to Judaism-We go through each element and learn a little bit more about what each one means-What the framework of seeing yourself and child through the elements can do for your parenting-Practical parenting takeaways you can start today…and SO MUCH MORE!More about Miriam:Miriam Pineles, DACM, is the founder of Conscious Health and Wellness, Inc., a premier Chinese medicine clinic located in Cedarhurst, NY. With a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine (DACM) and certification from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), Miriam is also licensed in Acupuncture by the State of New York.Her extensive training includes mentorship under some of the most revered practitioners both in the United States and internationally. Miriam has mastered unique techniques in acupuncture, pulse analysis, and herbal prescription, specializing in women's perinatal health and addressing syndromes arising from emotional trauma.She also founded *Ayin Healing*, a non-profit organization dedicated to running holistic healing retreats that support Jewish women recovering from childhood sexual abuse.Explore more about Miriam's work at:•⁠ ⁠[Conscious Health and Wellness](http://www.Conscioushealthandwellness.com)•⁠ ⁠[Living With The Elements](http://www.livingwiththeelements.com)•⁠ ⁠[Ayin Healing](http://www.ayinhealing.com)You can also learn more about Miriam on the Chai on Life website here.If you enjoyed this episode, leave a rating and review so more people can gain from Miriam's wisdom.
