Send us a textTrauma responses are very real, and very challenging for us as humans.Especially if you are judging yourself for experiencing them.Today I am talking about how trauma shows up in our lives, including in ourselves and people around us. We'll talk about seeing trauma as “too much, too fast,” and often with too little support/resources, and the ways that can manifest in your life.As promised, here are some resources that you can explore:EMDR and Brain-Spotting are 2 therapeutic modalities, commonly performed by trained Therapists that help to get to wiring in the sympathetic nervous system, and help to dampen these responses to triggers.Irest (https://shop.irest.org/) and Yoga Nidra (find many versions of this online) are other somatic therapies that can be helpful to address sympathetic nervous system over-activation, and help people to heal. https://shop.irest.org/Internal Family Systems (“parts” work) is a talk-therapy modality that explores why different parts of us “take over,” in response to events, and can be very helpful for trauma.Friend of the show and past guest, Dr Christy Gibson (Episode 120, June 8 2024 “Is Burnout Really Trauma”), also has a wonderful book, “The Modern Trauma Toolkit,” where she shares helpful resources and practices, including havening, which can be used for brief and rapid intervention,  including in the middle of a busy day. Here's our episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1957629/episodes/15135760Each of us can develop recurrent trauma responses related to the very real experience of caring for ailing humans with too little resources (too little back-up, support staff, equipment, rest/breaks, etc). Let go of judgment, and get the help that you need to feel healed. Support the showTo learn more about my coaching practice and group offerings, head over to www.healthierforgood.com.

This week we introduce to you: Jane Hardcastle. Jane is an absolute gift to the Christchurch wellness community, and further afield through her contribution to quality yoga teacher trainings. Jane is one of those people who have healing running through their blood - for over thirty years, in one way or another - Jane has supported people towards feeling more well, more worthy, and more present in their body-mind.  As a Yoga therapist, educator, and health care provider Dr Jane Hardcastle has been helping people with their health since she was 14. Originally qualifying as a registered nurse in the UK, Jane has held senior nursing, education and leadership roles in England, Scotland, and New Zealand before bringing this skillset, knowledge, and experience together as a yoga teacher and registered yoga therapist over the last ten years. Within this conversation we explore how Jane brings a beautifully balanced weaving of eastern and western approaches to wellness, looking at the whole being, and focusing on empowering individuals to achieve optimal health, rather than just an absence of disease.  We discuss the kosas and how these inform Jane's expression of Yoga Therapy. We unpack some of the modalities that might feature in a yoga therapy session with Jane; including tailored movement practices, Ayurveda, Breathwork, Meditation, iRest and lifestyle medicine.  Both Sarah and Alex finished this conversation in awe of the depth and breadth of Jane's knowledge and experience, and how skillfully she applies it to best support each individual client. The conversation really highlighted to us the importance of “strengthening through softening” as Jane puts it, and in looking at ourselves as a holistic and whole being worthy of optimal health and vibrancy, and we hope you feel the same, as well as gaining some insight into what yoga therapy is and how it can be used to achieve a greater sense of wellbeing.  Perhaps while you're here you could also take a moment to leave us a review and subscribe if you haven't already? It hugely supports the growth of this neat little pod and enables us to bring you more incredible guests like Jane!

Did you know that your emotions are not just feelings but powerful messengers guiding you toward deeper self-awareness?  In today's episode, I have invited Julie Lucas, an I-Rest and Yoga-Nidra instructor, to explore the transformative journey of connecting with our inner resources.  Stay tuned to discover how embracing the full spectrum of emotions can lead to greater awareness, ease, and lightness in your life. In this podcast episode, Julie takes us through: - Julie's transition from analytical footwear designer to Yoga Nidra practitioner. - Interoception: learning to feel the body from the inside out. - Treating emotions as messengers to convey inner state rather than obstacles. - The journey of self-discovery: from feeling stuck to achieving awareness and aliveness. - Using "inner resource" practice to find safety and ease in the body. - Redirecting attention inward as a powerful tool for transformation. - Connection between feeling "homesick" and bodily disconnection. - Simple techniques for nervous system regulation. - The ultimate goal of cultivating ease and lightness by fully engaging with and understanding our emotional landscape. And so much more! As a designer and certified iRest® yoga nidra teacher, I help people get out of the mind maze and into a life they love from the inside out. I had my first experience with Yoga Nidra almost a decade ago. Even as I write this, I can feel what a pivotal encounter it was…a Wizard of Oz kind of moment when life shifted from shades of grey to full spectrum color. Prior to that day, I had slowly, unknowingly set up camp in my head; life had started to feel robotic and lifeless. The daily grind of analyzing, comparing, judging, and overthinking had become my new normal. During and after the yoga nidra class, everything changed…I felt drastically more alive, lit up, and full of sensations that previously had been drowned out by the noise of my mind. All of the sudden I could feel tingling in my fingers, a full body pulsation, and a playfulness that I now know as innate and ever-available. In awe of its ability to bring me home to myself, I felt called to study and share this transformative practice. As a certified iRest® yoga nidra teacher, I create space to explore our moment to moment experience with wonder and curiosity – gracefully remembering the truth of our wholeness. In classes and 1:1 sessions, I help people to meet anxiety and pain as messengers.  As we allow our inner landspace to be seen, felt, and heard, we make space for all this “friction” to be digested and begin to move through us naturally. There's no longer a desperate need to over-analyze… your inner knowing rises to the surface, and the way forward reveals itself. The practice builds interoception, resilience, and fluency of emotions…with a sensitivity to each person's unique experience and history. Weaving together her training in iRest, Mindful Schools, and Imagination Yoga, Julie offers practices for both adults and children, in-person and virtually. Whether she's teaching in a 7th grade homeroom, a backyard yurt or an elementary gymnasium, Julie brings her whole heart to the collaborative adventures. Her background in both design and posture therapy informs her creative, body-centered approach to the practice.

In this episode, we discuss How to Embrace Holistic Healing through Art Therapy and Feng Shui as Jacqueline shares each stepping stone of her practice and how it continues to evolve.  Jacqueline went through a journey of stepping stones, each with unique and individual sets of wisdom that she now combines beautifully into her overall practice. She started with art education, eventually adding Yoga, Reiki, Art Therapy, and Feng Shui as a wholesome blend of holistic healing practices.  She shares how Art Therapy led her into deeper practices and understanding of how interconnected intergenerational trauma can be in one's environment and habits. Jacqueline speaks on her findings of people she's served, from children to veterans who all benefit from the therapeutic practices she's combined. Through her work, she discovered that she could only do so much from a therapist's perspective and often this would send her clients back home to an unsupportive or imbalanced environment. This is where Feng Shui came in, Jacqueline started studying Feng Shui through Amanda's International Feng Shui School and discovered that she was able to help her clients set up their homes for personal success too! This combined with Art Therapy allowed her to guide her clients to explore their creativity more, which allowed them to be more in tune with the colors, artwork, and flow of the home itself. The interconnection of Art Therapy and Feng Shui mainly took the form of repatterning old programs of environment, where she found her clients all had habits, perhaps formed from childhood and others formed through adulthood that often created a negative cycle. Now, she can provide them with repatterning tools like decluttering, healing from within, Art Therapy practices, or taking time to meditate or reflect through art that then guides them to breaking negative cycles. A beautiful part of this episode for me was as we started diving deeper into generational trauma, Jacqueline expressed how much wisdom is buried deep within our roots. As we start unpacking trauma and releasing what does not serve us, we also keep emotional reminders and keepsakes within our consciousness as pearls of wisdom. Sometimes it's on what you'd rather want to break the cycle of, other times it's areas in which you'd want to improve for the next generation. Through her Art Therapy and holistic healing modalities, she's found ways to restore, rebuild and release with her clients, and teach them grounding techniques for their continued healing. Toward the end of the episode, Jacqueline shares her tips on how to use Yoga, meditation, Art Therapy, Feng Shui, reflection, and everyday rituals to create an environment supportive of holistic healing. If you're on the path of holistic healing, or you have an interest in Art Therapy or Feng Shui, then this is the podcast for you. Like me, so many of my students, including Jacqueline, started out learning from various cultures and modalities like Yoga, Reiki, Pilates, and Meditation and started incorporating Feng Shui and other holistic healing practices into their tool kit. When you're on the path of a holistic healer then you'll find that one modality always fits into another. That is why when I speak of Feng Shui, I always say that it pairs and interconnects with all the other holistic healing functions. Are you ready to expand on your holistic healing journey or upgrade your services? Join Jacqueline and many other students on their path as holistic healers and register for my FREE Feng Shui mini-course or my Feng Shui Master Certification Course, where you will learn a holistic blend of Feng Shui to incorporate with your existing or future services.      Jacqueline Jones owns and operates Flourish Momentum, integrative health and wellness for mind, body, soul, and space. She draws on her professional experience in education, art therapy, yoga, meditation, integrative nutrition health coaching, energy healing, and feng shui to offer a proprietary blend of services to holistically support clients to optimize all-around wellness. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Art, Master of Education, and Master of Arts in Art Therapy. She is a Board Certified Art Therapist, Registered Yoga Teacher, Certified iRest Yoga Nidra Teacher, Certified Energy Medicine Yoga Teacher, Certified Zentangle Teacher, and Master Level Reiki Practitioner and Feng Shui Consultant. She taught art in Fairfax County Public Schools before becoming an art therapist. Since 2011 she has been providing clinical art therapy, first to pediatric oncology and hematology patients at Georgetown University Hospital, then, since 2012, to active duty service members in rehabilitative treatment for invisible wounds of war such as traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress, and chronic pain at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, the Intrepid Spirit One at Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, and at The Invisible Wounds Center at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Since 2018 she has been providing yoga and iRest yoga nidra therapeutically as well. In 2021 she launched her private practice, Flourish Momentum, to work with clients using a full spectrum holistic approach that addresses mind, body, soul, and space to achieve and maintain desired wellness goals. She works therapeutically with clients one-on-one as well as provides therapeutic groups and wellness events to non-profit and for-profit organizations in a variety of contexts to support needs of staff or clientele.

Helen on suurema oma tööalasest tegevusest tegutsenud sisekujunduse vallas. Suur osa oma elust on ta teinud tegelikult tööd, andes tööle kogu oma vaba aja. See aga viis teda lõpuks läbipõlemiseni. Kõige selle kõrval on olnud tarvis teha tööd enda väärtustamisega ja õiglase tasu küsimisega. Enda suurimaks õppimise kohaks peab Helen eluetappi, kus võitles ärevushäirega, millest vabanemiseks ammutas igast suunast õpetusi ja praktikaid. Mingi hetk avastas ta end taas olukorrast, kus teda valitses korraga tunne nagu teda ennast enam ei olegi, ta oli täis teiste mõtteid, ideid, õpetusi, uskumusi jne. Sellele järgnes aastakene “käsna” tühjendamist, enda aja võtmist ja iseendaga täiesti aus olemist. Tänaseks on ta paar kuud elanud ja töötanud Valgusmajas, mis asub Purku külas, Tallinnast ca 50min kaugusel. Helen on jõudnud endaga palju paremasse kohta kui ta mõned aastad tagasi oma elus oli. Tänases podcastis räägime detailsemalt Heleni teekonnast, ärevushäiretest, läbipõlemisest, teistele elamisest versus iseendale elamisest, Heleni toimetamistest jne. https://www.valgusmaja.ee/et Facebook: www.facebook.com/chriskalapodcast www.facebook.com/chriskkala Instagram: www.instagram.com/chriskkala/

#4 IRESTŘÍPKY+ s Michalem Hochmanem

On today's episode we're diving into Yoga Nidra, which translated literally means yoga sleep. While it's not literally sleep, evidence suggests it can be a powerful tool for improving sleep quality and falling asleep faster, among many other things. That is the subject of a piece by our guest, titled "The Thin Line Between Waking and Sleeping in Athletes: A Call for Yoga Nidra in the Sporting Context." Selenia di Fronso is a PhD researcher affiliated with the Department of Medicine and Aging Sciences, within the Behavioral Imaging and Neural Dynamics Center, University “G. d'Annunzio” of Chieti-Pescara, Chieti, Italy. She focuses on sports psychology, including things like mental imagery, stress management, and mindfulness. While this is an opinion piece, it heavily references the existing literature on Yoga Nidra, especially in medical contexts. She's primarily calling for greater investigation of how Yoga Nidra could be applied in athletic contexts. Once you hear about it, we're sure some of you are going to be interested in trying this out. For those people we're also releasing a recorded guided session that she has prepared for us, which will appear as a separate episode. Below are some additional resources if you want to learn more or find more sessions: For our veteran listeners, there is an 8-week prerecorded iRest series through the VA's War Related Illness and Injury Study Center, or you can contact them for live sessions. Technically these recordings are right there on their website, so you don't really need to be a veteran... A 2010 Pain Management Task Force report from the Office of the Army Surgeon General listed Yoga Nidra as a “Tier 1” modality for pain management. Evidence from Occupational Therapy settings suggests that Yoga Nidra can significantly improve time spent asleep (above and beyond traditional sleep hygiene interventions) for patients suffering from sleep disorders. Clinical studies have shown that yoga nidra meditation is associated with positive physiological changes, including improvements in several hematological variables, red blood cell counts, blood glucose levels, and hormonal status. Two neuroimaging studies have shown that yoga nidra produces changes in endogenous dopamine release and cerebral blood flow, a further confirmation that its effects on the CNS are objectively measurable. The practice has also been shown to reduce psychometrically measured indices of mild depression and anxiety, although these benefits were not shown in an experimental study to extend to severe depression or severe anxiety.

In this enlightening episode, I sit down with Fuyuko Sawamura-Toyota (she/her), a renowned expert in iRest Meditation, to explore the profound impact of yoga on mental health and delve into the transformative philosophy behind iRest. Fuyuko's vast knowledge and experience offer a unique perspective on how iRest can support healing and empower individuals from all walks of life.We begin by delving into Fuyuko's personal journey of how yoga has played a pivotal role in transforming her own mental health. With candid insights, she shares the ways yoga has nurtured her inner life to create peace and resilience, inspiring us to discover the potential yoga holds for our own lives.As the conversation flows, Fuyuko introduces us to iRest, an evidence-based meditation technique that has gained prominence over the years, and a practice that I personally love! Fuyuko guides us through its principles and practices, including the teachings that iRest is based upon, Sankhya, Patanjali, Advaita Vedanta and Kashmiri Shaivism, and she sheds light on how iRest has become a promising approach for overcoming trauma.As a recent graduate of the Mental Health Aware Yoga training, Fuyuko also shares valuable insights from the program, and how she has skillfully integrated the principles of Mental Health Aware Yoga into her own yoga teaching since taking the training. Join us on this insightful episode as we dive deep into the transformative pathways of iRest Meditation with Fuyuko Sawamura-Toyota.

Do you get enough rest? Beyond sleep, our bodies require times of rest throughout the day. Whether it's a nap, restorative yoga practice or taking 5 minutes in your car before heading into the house to be with your family, humans need rest to thrive. In this insightful episode, Mark speaks with clinical psychologist Dr Lauren Tober about the importance of rest. The two explore why western culture doesn't prioritise rest and the detriment this can cause to our health and wellbeing. You'll walk away with many practical tips to embrace rest and find better balance in your life. Our favourite quotable moments: “There is this real emphasis on how much can we do [and] how much can we get done in the day. And when we pause and take a break, it's like wasted time. When we're not being productive, we're procrastinating. - Dr Lauren Tober (3:45) “For a lot of other people, it takes an illness or something quite drastic for us to really focus and change.” - Dr Lauren Tober (17:14) “If your body is whispering, then listen to the whisper.” - Dr Lauren Tober (20:04) Resources: Dr Lauren Tober's Website Online course for Relaxation and Meditation Instagram @drlaurentober About Lauren: Dr Lauren Tober is a Clinical Psychologist and Senior Yoga Teacher based in Mullumbimby, Australia.

Returning guest, Jennifer Boileau, joins us to talk about how iRest meditation can help relieve pain, improve sleep, and reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

Today's guest, Dr. Joanie Terrizzi shares how we are a grief avoidant culture which is precisely why I knew I wanted to talk about death during this season of unlearning. As much as our culture avoids grief, there is no way to prevent the end of life, and it deserves as much air time as all the other parts of life. You will find that this conversation contains a spaciousness to it. The silence in a conversation talking about loss and grief is as much part of the process as the talking about it. You'll see Joanie has a way of bringing presence and comfort into this topic. In this episode, we touch on: Joanie's losses and how she is after integrating her grief how death brings about a new identity for ourselves the role of community in grieving how to increase our capacity to grieve  an alternative statement to "I'm sorry for your loss" what an end of life doula does the difference b/t bereavement and grief and how loss is clarifying This is one of those important topics we should be having with all of our friends and family. I hope this gives you some points to share with them.   Book mentioned - There's No Such Thing As A Dragon   About the guest Dr. Joanie Terrizzi (she/her/hers) is a mind-body wellness practitioner, coach, and writer.

On this episode, I share with you one of my favorite go-to tools that I turn to when I feel that I am spinning out of control. Now I know you are saying “wait…you are the StressFreeMD… The Self-Care Doctor….the Doctor's Doctor….and you always sound calm…and put together…” so if you are thinking that, know that I am really human too with a human brain and therefore I too have moments where I am feeling that I am stressed and anxious and spinning out of control.  So I practice what I preach—I am repeatedly checking in with myself and bringing myself back to feeling calm & put together all day and night long by utilizing my self-care tools from my own personal self-care tool-box.This tool is something that you can use any time during the day or night and is different than any of the other tools that I have been sharing with you because you make it uniquely your own and you can also change it whenever you want to.  This makes it a particularly effective safe trauma-informed secular tool for you to use.  It comes from one of the 1st steps of iRest® meditation that I am certified to facilitate which was originally developed a few decades ago for Walter Reed Army Hospital to help our military relieve symptoms and suffering from PTSD and it's called Inner Resource. You can think of it like your trusted friend that is always there for you anchoring you back into feeling calm and grounded, safe & secure whenever you need it. You can use it during the daytime or nighttime. It can even help you fall asleep and fall back asleep. Listen to this episode as I guide you through developing your own unique Inner Resource!----------------------------------------------------------Earn CME:Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs here: https://earnc.me/LBj50e Register for Rx Inner Peace: A Physician's Guide for Self-Care (25 CME):https://mahec.net/event/65278For more info and to sign up for free self-care tips and videos, check out StressFreeMD:https://www.stressfreemd.net/Physicians schedule your FREE 30 minute Stress Relief Strategy Call:https://go.oncehub.com/StressReliefStrategyCallPhysicians: join our free private physicians-only Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/thephysiciansselfcarecommunityFollow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/stressfreemd/Connect with me on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/robyntigermd/Follow me on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/robyntigermdFollow me on Twitter:https://twitter.com/robyntigermdExclusive physician CME accredited programming: Rx Inner Peacehttps://www.stressfreemd.net/rxinnerpeaceSelf-Care Shop--accredited programs for healthcare and open to everyonehttps://www.stressfreemd.net/selfcareshopPrivate 1:1 Coachinghttps://www.stressfreemd.net/coachingContactinfo@stressfreemd.netPodcast website: https://www.podpage.com/the-stressfreemd-podcast/

Merilin, rohkem tuntud kui Paljas Porgand, on Eestis üks väheseid täiskohaga elustiiliblogijaid ja sotsiaalmeediamõjutajaid. Koolipingist lahkudes kindlameelselt juristiks õppides, viis saatus ta hoopis teisele poole maakera. Merilini elu on olnud pikk teekond enesearmastuseni, seljatades toitumishäired ja laastavad mõtted iseenda suunas. Tänaseks on temast sirgunud enesekindel naine, kes sammub enesearmastuse teed sisse ka teistele. Lisaks on ta andnud välja ka 5 retseptiraamatut, mis toetavad armastust tervisliku eluviisi ja iseenda vastu.Paljas Porgand IGPaljas Porgand BlogiSaate märkmedhttps://paljasporgand.ee/punase-kuningkrabiga-avokaadopasta/https://paljasporgand.ee/kaldusin-uhest-toitumishairest-teise/https://paljasporgand.ee/miks-ma-paks-olen/The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Getting the Love You Want by Harville Hendrixhttps://paljasporgand.ee/10-raamatut-mis-muutsid-mu-elu/Täitsa Pekkis Saade linktree

Miller is the Founder, and Director of the iRest Institute. Miller is a clinical psychologist, author, researcher, yogic scholar and spiritual teacher. For over 40 years, Miller has devoted his life and work to integrating the nondual wisdom teachings of Yoga, Tantra, Advaita, Taoism and Buddhism with Western psychology. Miller is also the co-founder of The International Association of Yoga Therapy and founding editor of the professional Journal of IAYT. He is also a founding member and past president of the Institute for Spirituality and Psychology and a senior advisor for the Baumann Foundation for the study of Awareness and its impact on well-being. Author of Yoga Nidra: The Meditative Heart of Yoga, Miller serves as a research consultant studying the iRest Yoga Nidra protocol that he has developed. iRest stands for Integrative Restoration, a modern adaptation of the ancient nondual meditation practice of Yoga Nidra. Miller researches its efficacy on health, healing and well-being with diverse populations including active-duty soldiers, veterans, college students, children, seniors, the homeless, the incarcerated, and people experiencing issues, such as sleep disorders, PTSD, chemical dependency, chronic pain, and related disorders. In this episode, we talk with Miller about the difference between Eastern and Western practices, how yoga can help us understand the wholeness of ourselves and how we can train our minds to better handle everyday stress. Listen in as we discuss Yoga Nidra and the benefits it can provide.
