"What if your sleep quality shapes not just your day, but your whole health future?" In this first episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen speaks with sleep expert Jin Wen about the fascinating relationship between sleep, stress, and daily well-being. Jin shares her journey from studying stress to focusing on sleep and explains how sleep isn't just about the number of hours you get—it's about how you feel when you wake up. Drawing on her research, Jin explores the “vicious cycle” of daily stress and poor sleep, showing how one bad night can make it harder to handle stress the next day, trapping people in a cycle of fatigue and anxiety. Jin also explains the power of subjective sleep assessments, emphasizing that how you perceive your sleep can be as important as the objective data from sleep trackers. She breaks down her research methods, including the use of ecological momentary assessments (EMA), which capture real-time data about participants' daily experiences. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how sleep influences daily functioning and long-term health. --- This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS. --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy - Learn more about Fibion Research. --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher  Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen  Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion  Check us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

There might be something important."Ko: 그녀의 발걸음은 친구들의 반대를 무시하고 숲 속으로 향했습니다.En: Ignoring her friends' objections, she ventured into the forest.Ko: 점점 더 걸어갈수록 소리는 가까워졌습니다.En: The further they walked, the closer the sound became.Ko: 그리고 마침내 진은 오래된 나무에 새겨진 신비로운 상징을 발견했습니다.En: Finally, Jin discovered a mysterious symbol carved into an old tree.Ko: 그것은 어지러운 패턴이었고, 누군가 의도적으로 새겨놓은 듯했습니다.En: It was an intricate pattern, clearly etched with intent.Ko: 진은 손끝으로 그 표면을 살며시 만지며 깊은 의미를 생각했습니다.En: She gently touched the surface with her fingertips, pondering its deep meaning.Ko: “이건 단서야,” 그녀는 속삭였습니다.En: "This is a clue," she whispered.Ko: “우리 조상들과 연결되어 있을 수도 있어.”En: "It might be connected to our ancestors."Ko: 그날 밤, 진은 그 자리가 정글 같아서 거기서 나가기 어려울 줄 알았습니다.En: That night, Jin feared the area was like a jungle, making escape seem difficult.Ko: 다행히도, 옆에서 민서와 수진이 돕고 있었습니다.En: Fortunately, Minseo and Sujin were there to help.Ko: 함께 협력하여 숲의 길을 찾았습니다.En: Together, they navigated through the forest.Ko: 그러면서, 진은 갑자기 조롱조로 덮여있는 또 다른 표식을 발견했습니다.En: As they did, Jin suddenly noticed another marker covered in moss.Ko: 그것은 마치 지도를 닮아 보였습니다.En: It looked like a map.Ko: “이건 계보로 돌아가는 길이야,” 그녀는 놀란 표정으로 외쳤습니다.En: "This is the way back to our roots," she exclaimed with a surprised expression.Ko: 새로운 발견에 진은 친구들과 힘을 합쳐 길을 찾았습니다.En: Inspired by the new discovery, Jin and her friends united to find their way out.Ko: 그들이 무사히 공원 입구로 돌아왔을 때, 진은 단조로운 일상에 대한 새로운 관점을 얻었습니다.En: When they safely returned to the park entrance, Jin gained a newfound perspective on her mundane routine.Ko: 현대 생활과 조상의 전통을 연결하는 실마리를 찾은 것입니다.En: She found a thread linking modern life to her ancestors' traditions.Ko: 추석이 되자, 진은 가족들과 새로운 발견을 나눴습니다.En: When Chuseok arrived, Jin shared her new discovery with her family.Ko: 그녀의 이야기는 모두에게 큰 감동을 주었고 가족들은 서로 더 가까워졌습니다.En: Her story greatly moved everyone, bringing her family closer together.Ko: 그 후로, 진은 전통과 현대를 융합하는 법을 더 잘 이해하게 되었고 자체의 정체성에 대한 자신감을 갖게 되었습니다.En: Since then, Jin has gained a better understanding of how to blend tradition with modernity and has developed confidence in her own identity.Ko: 이렇게 설악산에서의 하루는 그녀에게 잊지 못할 기억이 되었습니다.En: The day at Seoraksan became an unforgettable memory for her.

Als 2022 die junge iranische Kurdin Jina Mahsa Amini in Polizeigewahrsam in Teheran stirbt, ändert sich das Leben der Menschen in Iran – und auch aller Menschen, die längst aus Iran geflohen sind. In Azizam – Die Revolution meiner Mama zeichnet SWR-Journalistin Aida Amini die Geschichte ihrer Mutter Malihe nach, für die Jina Masha Aminis Tod vieles ändert. Malihe wandert Mitte der 90er Jahre von Iran nach Deutschland aus, damit sie und ihre Töchter in Freiheit leben können. Sie erzählt von ihrer Jugend in Iran, über Angst vor der Sittenpolizei, von „verbotener“ Popkultur hinter verschlossenen Türen und von einer Generation, die gelernt hat, möglichst nicht aufzufallen. Sie zieht in die deutsche Provinz, gründet eine Familie, beginnt ein neues Leben weit weg von ihrer Heimat. Nach dem Tod von Jina Mahsa Amini und den „Jin, Jiyan, Azadi“-Proteste in Iran verändert sich was in Malihe. Sie schöpft neue Hoffnung, dass sich in ihrem Heimatland endlich etwas verändern kann. Der Podcast zeigt, wie die Hoffnung der protestierenden Jugend in Iran in der iranischen Diaspora ankommt – und was sie mit Selbstbildern macht. Zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben zieht es Aidas Eltern in Deutschland auf die Straße. Und Aida fragt sich im Verlauf des Podcasts zunehmend: Was ist hier eigentlich meine Rolle? Als Journalistin, als deutsche Iranerin, als politischer Mensch?

With the end of the Jinshin War, Oama, posthumously known as Temmu Tenno, came to the throne.  And though they would need a new Great Council of State, they continued to build up and bolster the Ritsuryo state.  They were imagining a new Yamato based on continental models of what a state should look like, but also influenced by tradition.  This episode we take a look at that reimagining in broad strokes, asking a few questions--what was Oama's relationship with his brother, and touching on the relationship of Nakatomi no Kamatari and his brother, Nakatomi no Kane.  We also take a look at some of the literary propaganda that also helped to codify this new imaginary--the Nihon Shoki and the Kojiki.  We also touch on other sourcesof information, like the Fudoki and Man'yoshu. For more information, check out our blog:  https://sengokudaimyo.com/podcast/episode-133   Rough Transcript Welcome to Sengoku Daimyo's Chronicles of Japan.  My name is Joshua, and this is episode 133: Reimagining Yamato As the bells of Houkouji tolled, Ohoama and his wife, Uno, surveyed the construction on going in the Asuka valley.  Hordes of workers had been called up, and now they were working furiously towards the deadline of the new year.  Where once stood the later Wokamoto palace of Takara Hime, aka Ohoama's mother, Saimei Tennou, now the land was being prepared for a palace on a much grander scale.  And just as the palace was being remade, Ohoama's thoughts went beyond the valley, to the entire archipelago.  His brother, Naka no Oe, had started something profound.  Now here he was, helming the Ship of State, and Ohoama had plans of his own, built upon his brother's ideas.  He would build a new state, ensuring that the reforms that started back in 645 would continue for generations. Greetings everyone and welcome back.  As we dive back in, let's recap where we are. The year is now 673, and the fighting from the previous year—the Jinshin war—is over.  Prince Ohoama and his Yoshino forces were victorious and he is now poised to ascend the throne in the recently built Palace of Kiyomihara, in Asuka.  He will be known to future generations by his posthumous name:  Temmu Tennou. Ohoama would go ahead and continue to centralize the government under the continental model.  That said, he also would pay a not insignificant amount of attention to local tradition as well.  His reign would lead to the establishment of the first permanent capital city: Fujiwara-kyo.  He is also credited with initiating the projects collecting various historical records, which culminated in the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, the very chronicles on which this podcast is based – and both of which seem to have been designed specifically to promote the authority of the throne, specifically Ohoama and his descendants. Those descendants—the Temmu dynasty—would rule for almost a century, including four of the eight official female sovereigns (those eight become ten if you count the unofficial Himiko and Okinaga Tarashi-hime, aka Jingu Tennou).  This dynasty would reign from the end of the Asuka period up through to the Nara period, and it would see the evolution of the Yamato state into the kingdom of Nihon—which is to say the kingdom of Japan. The politics of this period were also quite something.  It is during this coming period that we see the rise of the famous Fujiwara family, who would come to dominate the political landscape.  We also see the continued contact with the mainland, with numerous trade goods coming over, many of which would be included in the famous Shousouin storehouse of Toudaiji temple, in Nara. Buddhism would also thrive, with Kokubunji, or provincial temples, being set up in a network around the archipelago.  There was also the building of the famous Daibutsu, or Giant Buddha statue, of Toudaiji. Art would also flourish.  The Man'yoshu would be published at this time—a collection of around 4,500 Japanese poems, or waka.  Meanwhile, the court would also focus on continental styles as well.  From this point on, not only do we have more evidence of what was happening through the written record, but the writing itself changed.  Different Sinitic characters were borrowed solely for their sound to help spell out Japanese words.  These would eventually be simplified, and known as “kana”.  The earliest use of these characters is known as “Man'yo-gana” because so many are traced back to the Man'yoshu itself.  They would eventually be standardized and simplified, becoming the hiragana and katakana we know and use today. But in 673, all of this is still on the horizon. So this is a great time to pause for a bit in our journey through the chronicles and set the stage for this next, incredibly transformative period in the archipelago by going over these larger patterns in some depth, so that, as we start to go through this period we get a better idea of just what was happening, and perhaps why.  That's what we'll do this episode. To start with, let's go back to the relationship between Naka no Oe and Ohoama.  As far as we can tell, these brothers were fairly close to one another.  Not only was Ohoama married to one of Naka no Oe's daughters, Princess Uno, he had actually taken as consort at least four of Naka no Oe's other daughters—all of which were Ohoama's nieces.  In turn, one of Ohoama's own daughters, Princess Touchi, had been married off to Ohotomo, aka the ill-fated Koubun Tennou.  On top of that, Naka no Oe and Ohoama both had taken as consorts daughters of Soga no Akaye, and both Ohotomo and Ohoama had consorts from Nakatomi—or Fujiwara—no Kamatari.  This demonstrates just how interrelated everyone was at court, presumably as a means of strengthening the ties between them.  Of course, as we've seen time and again, those ties were more symbolic than anything else, and certainly did not prevent the occasional use of violence, nor did it protect the fathers of those women from political repercussions when they found themselves on the wrong side. On the other hand, beyond the initial mention of their births, we don't see the two brothers together until Naka no Oe came to the throne.  Why?  Well, to be fair, we don't see much of anyone but the sovereign in the Chronicles unless there is a specific thing they are called out for—like an embassy, presenting something to the throne, etc.  Even Naka no Oe often isn't mentioned directly, even when he was the Crown Prince and supposedly helping run the government.  So that could be it. There are two apparent counter arguments to the idea that Naka no Oe and his brother, Ohoama, were tight.  First is a mention in the Toushi Kaden, the Family History of the Fujiwara Family, about Ohoama thrusting a spear into a board, which rattled Naka no Oe enough that he was apparently wondering if he needed to have his own brother taken out.  Then there is Ohoama's resignation at the time of Naka no Oe's death, presumably because he was warned that a plot was afoot, and that if he accepted Naka no Oe's offer to take the reins of the state in his own two hands then something—we aren't told what—would unfold. I can't rule out the idea that neither of those accounts is quite accurate either, however.  It is possible that the Toushi Kaden account is embellished to heighten Fujiwara no Kamatari's own role as peacemaker between the brothers.  I also have to wonder if the warning to Ohoama around Naka no Oe's death wasn't so much about Naka no Oe, but about his ministers.  After all, they seem to have had no problem supporting the much younger—and likely more malleable—Prince Ohotomo.  So it seems to me entirely possible that there were other threats that Ohoama was concerned with. That brings me to one of those ministers:  Nakatomi no Kane.  We talked about him before and during the war.  He first showed up participating in ritual and speaking on kami matters.  He would later rise to be one of the Great Ministers of State, and was one of the six ministers who had pledged themselves to Prince Ohotomo.  At the end of the Jinshin War, he was put to death and his family was banished.  That said, in period leading up to all of that,  we spent a good amount of time with another Nakatomi: Nakatomi no Kamatari. He was the head of the Nakatomi clan and the Naidaijin, the Interior Minister, a special position placing him on par, or even above, the Ministers of the Left and Right, but which did not have a well defined portfolio noted in the literature.  Interestingly, this position also doesn't seem to have survived Kamatari, at least in the short run.  From the time of Naka no Oe, aka Tenji Tennou, to the time of Ohoama, aka Temmu Tennou, it seems that the office of Naidaijin fell out of favor, possibly due, in part, to Prince Ohotomo being raised to a different post, that of Dajou Daijin, placing him in charge of the Great Council of State. The Naidaijin role wouldn't be revived until 717 for Kamatari's grandson, Fujiwara no Fusasaki (interestingly,  only three years before the completion of the Nihon Shoki). Nakatomi no Kane was, as far as we can tell, the brother to Kamatari.  When Kamatari passed away, Kane seems to have taken on the role as head of the Nakatomi family and he was also made Minister of the Right.  This mirrors, in its way, the relationship between Naka no Oe and Ohoama, and the common system of inheritance that would often go brother to brother.  And yet, while Kamatari was a hero of the Taika era, Nakatomi no Kane was executed for his role in the Jinshin War.  So in the context of the rise of the Fujiwaras to greater prominence later on in Ohoama's reign, it is significant that Kamatari's line would be set apart from the rest of the Nakatomi to the extent of giving it the new Fujiwara name.  Although the Chronicles claim that the “Fujiwara” name was actually granted by Naka no Oe, there is a thought that this was granted posthumously, and may have even been retconned by later members of the family, possibly to distance themselves from Nakatomi no Kane and his role on the losing side of the Jinshin War, and tie themselves clearly to Kamatari and his founding role in Naka no Oe's and Ohoama's new vision, instead.  This all brings me to my next point: the creation of the national histories.  The projects that culminated in what we know today as the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki are said to have been started under Ohoama's reign, though they wouldn't be finished until much later, well into the 8th century.  A lot of what went into them was work under Ohoama's wife Uno, who succeeded him as Jitou Tennou, as well as her successors.  Prince Toneri, one of Ohoama's sons, is said to have overseen the Nihon Shoki's compilation. Prince Toneri was son of Ohoama and princess Niitabe, one of Naka no Oe's daughters, and while he never sat the throne, himself, one of his sons would eventually do so.  As such, we can see a strong royal hand on the project, even though the actual composition was probably by several teams of Chroniclers—we touched on this briefly back in Episode 131. The Kojiki, on the other hand, is said to have been written by Oho no Yasumaro based on the oral history that had been maintained by Hieda no Are.  We don't know much about Hieda no Are—there are some that believe they may have been a woman, since a passage in a later work, the Seikyuuki, suggests that they were a member of the Sarume no Kimi family, descended from Ame no Uzume no Mikoto, who is said to have danced and helped lure Amaterasu out of the rock cave.  And so they were particularly known for their role as shrine maidens—a particularly female role.  That said, Are received the title of “toneri”, which is often assumed to be male, and there is nothing else that explicitly says they were not. Either way, Hieda no Are is said to have been commanded by the sovereign, Ohoama, to memorize the history of the nation, presumably to then perform it as needed, for the court.  Only later was Oho no Yasumaro asked to write it down in what became known as the Kojiki. Both of these chronicles were attempts to organize the history of the nation and to put together all the stories in a way that would establish a foundation for the new state that was evolving out of ancient Yamato.  A large part of that effort was going to be to justify those who were in power at the time—including both the royal family and the various noble houses at the time, including the powerful Fujiwara. Now, when we talk about how these histories were created to bolster the state, I want to be careful.  It may not have necessarily been the case that the chroniclers were actively and consciously promoting a fictional account.  From what we can tell, the chroniclers drew from a collection of stories, some written down in diaries and court records, works like the Baekje annals and continental histories, and some that were likely just memorized tales that were part of the general culture.   There were a couple of existing histories—we are told, for example, that there was a Teiki and a Kyuji floating around, both attributed to the legendary Shotoku Taishi, and both supposedly including the royal lineage at least to Toyomike-kashikiya-hime, aka Suikou Tennou.  However, the copies that were being passed around were apparently suspect, and we are told that there were inconsistencies.  Which probably means that the way they told the story did not conform to the way that Ohoama and the royal family wanted it told, though it could also refer to the fact that different accounts had slight variations on the stories, many of which had probably started as oral traditions that were only later written down.  It is also likely that there was only so much detail in those ancient texts, but we can't know for sure.  The Sendai Kuji Hongi purports to be the text of the original Kyuuji, or Kyuujiki, but that claim is dubious, at best, though it may have used an older, no longer extant history to crib its own notes from. So there were probably some writings, already, but there was also so much more.  There were stories from various familial records, stories told by various shrines about their kami and their histories, and stories passed down as local history that had never been captured, previously.  All of this was good material for the project of creating an official national history that aimed to tell the whole story. To get an idea of what the Chroniclers of that time might have been going through, imagine that you have some 2,000 random facts about the United States, or any country of your choice, in no particular order—stories of heroes, presidents, wars, etc.  On top of that, only a few of them ever give you any kind reference dates, and when they do, those dates are only in relationship to the presidents in office – the third year of the presidency of Roosevelt, for example - or maybe they reference another event.  In addition, some of the facts have been lost, or they come from history books with a slightly different format.  Or they come from diaries with different perspectives and takes on the same event.  And then, without the aid of the Internet or any other reference material, you are asked to put all of that together into a coherent narrative. In all likelihood you would be able to generally construct many of the broad strokes.  You would leverage what you know to be true and do your best to put things in place, but there is no guarantee that everything would be in the right order.  And in places where there wasn't any clear through line, you may have needed to come up with your best, most plausible explanation and write that down. Also, imagine you had, in the interests of completeness, thrown in some of the more, shall we say, apocryphal stories.  George Washington cutting down a cherry tree, for instance, or the story of Johnny Appleseed, or even the more fantastical stories of Davy Crockett.  Without other reference points, would you know where they went, or how true they actually were? Add to all of that the lack of a referential calendar.  The sexagesimal system helps for units of 60 years, but there was nothing comparable to a western calendar in use at the time.  Instead, everything was based on the number of years in a given reign.  So instead of thinking about it as “did this happen in 584 or 524?” it was more like “Did this happen in the years of the sovereign reigning from X palace or Y palace?” Now that said, there do appear to have been individuals whose job was to memorize the stories and the histories and recite them.  We have, for example, the Kataribe, the guild of storytellers.  It may have been out of this tradition that we get the eventual commission of the previously mentioned Hieda no Are, who was to memorize all of the historical events and recite them back, which I can only imagine would have been a kind of performance for the court, helping to reinforce the narrative.  But still, as Are was putting everything together, what were the assumptions and guidelines they were working under? After all, there were no doubt certain truths, whether factual or not, that were pushed by the court.  Things like the idea of an unbroken line of sovereigns going all the way back to the mythical founding, just like in continental stories.  Or, the idea that worship centered from the beginning around the sun goddess, Amaterasu. There is plenty of evidence that while the early Wa people practiced various forms of sun worship, with traces found in their language as well as stories, cultural traditions, etc., it was not necessarily Amaterasu who was the primary deity of worship.  Back in the Age of the Gods we talked about the creator deities, Izanagi and Izanami, and about the High god of Heaven, Takami Musubi, who seems to at one point been the most prominent central deity, but who had since been eclipsed, if you will, by the likes of Amaterasu. We also see evidence that there were other sun deities.  The language around Sarutahiko no Ohokami suggests that he may have once been worshipped as a sun deity as well.  And there is the early primacy of Mt. Miwa as a place of worship, and the spirit of Ohomononushi.  This is to say nothing of Ohokuninushi, and all of his stories, up in Izumo. Furthermore, it seems telling that Amaterasu is not even central to the rituals conducted in the palace itself, which likely went back to an even earlier period.  If Amaterasu were central, and the ancestral kami of the royal family since its inception, one would expect that Amaterasu would also be central to the rites carried out by her descendants in the royal palace.  And yet most of her worship appears to have continued to be set apart from the palace ritual, and conducted out of Ise shrine (albeit after a certain point ceremonially led by a designated female member of the royal line). Even Ise shrine itself isn't the primary shrine in the Ise area—the Ichi-no-miya, or most important shrine, of Ise is actually said to be Tsubaki shrine, worshipping Saruta Hiko no Ohokami and Ame no Uzume. So how did Amaterasu come to be so central in Ohoama's vision? There are stories that say that worship at Ise Shrine—and worship of Amaterasu—was specifically conducted by Ohoama's wife during the Jinshin campaign.  This is to say Ohoama's wife, primary consort, eventual queen and then queen regnant, Uno, later known as Jitou Tennou.  Remember, Uno had fled with Ohoama and had been on the trail with him at first, but had stayed behind in Ise.  Worship towards Ise seems to have later been counted as foundational to Ohoama and Uno's victory, and many suspect that they themselves may subsequently have encouraged greater worship of Amaterasu and placed her in the central position of sacral authority amongst the various kami. If so, that could explain why their histories focus so much on Amaterasu and her Heavenly descendant, from which the royal line claimed direct lineage.  It might also be around this time that the story of Iwarebiko, aka Jimmu Tennou, and the conquest of Yamato from Himuka may have been introduced: telling how Iwarebiko justifiably took away the land from the descendants of Nigi Hayahi, and then connecting Iwarebiko, in an extremely loose fashion, to Mimaki Iiribiko no Mikoto, aka Sujin Tennou. Another influence on all of this was likely the continental concept that time is a circle, and history repeats itself.  Chroniclers seeking to place events in a narrative context would have likely seen reflections of more recent events and used that to help order their compilation.  And of course, if there were events that seemed to run counter to the truth as known by the court, well, those could be smoothed over.  In this way, co-rulers were probably serialized, inconvenient interim rulers may have been excised altogether, and different dynasties, which may have only had tenuous connections, at best, were written down as direct lineal descendants.  It also seems telling that the Chroniclers may have reduced the role of what appears to be matrilineal succession to a more patriarchal and patrilineal determination of legitimacy.  Similarly, connections could be made for families to ancient ancestors through whom they were able to claim a certain proximity to the royal family.  Likewise, rules for legitimacy could be imposed—or perhaps just assumed—for previous reigns, doing their best to bring them into harmony with the social norms and the cultural imaginaries of the late 7th and early 8th centuries. So that's the general context the Chroniclers were working under. But at this point it's illuminating to take a look at the two histories and how they differ, to see what we can understand about where those differences came from. The work of Hieda no Are, eventually recorded and written down as the Kojiki, seems to have dealt with history that was far enough back that it was likely hard to argue with—it isn't like there was anyone alive who could counter with their own facts.  And the Kojiki reads as a fairly straightforward narrative, relatively speaking. The Nihon Shoki, on the other hand, is a different beast.  While the Kojiki may have captured the official narrative, the Nihon Shoki seems to have been designed to include more—including some of the competing accounts.  Thus you'll get a lot of things like “another source says…” with a different take on the same event.  This is much more prevalent in the Age of the Gods, but still pops up occasionally throughout the rest of the text.  Nonetheless, it is still very much focused on the royal line from Amaterasu down to Naka no Oe and Ohoama.  Even their posthumous names, Tenji and Temmu, specifically reference Ten, also pronounced Ama, at the start of their names, in what appears to be a bid to further connect them to the sun goddess of Heavenly Brightness--Amaterasu. Both of these works have their own character, and while the dates they were presented to the throne—713 for the Kojiki and 720 for the Nihon Shoki—suggest that they were published in succession, there are those that argue that the Kojiki is largely a reaction against the Nihon Shoki. In all likelihood the contents of the Nihon Shoki were known to many people before it was presented.  There were groups of Chroniclers involved, after all -- which meant teams of scribes pouring through sources, seeking out myths and legends, and generally trying to bring everything they could to the table.  And there is no indication that this was done in secret.  So it is quite possible that the writers of the Kojiki had seen some of the early drafts and cribbed from those notes. Some of the ways that the the history differ are in their portrayal of certain accounts.  For example, the Kojiki presents Iwarebiko and the pacification of Yamato and archipelago more generally in terms of that mythical sovereign conversing with the spirits.  And so he converses with, for instance, Ohomononushi, the deity of Mt. Miwa, a spirit whose name might be translated as the Great Lord of the Spirits, or “Mono”.  This idea places the sovereign as an intercessor between the mortal and the spirit world.  It hearkens back to earlier systems of sacral kingship, where power and authority came, at least in part, from supposed power of one's sacred sites and protective spirits. The Kojiki is also written in a much more vernacular style, using kanji and what we know of as man'yogana, the kanji used for their sound, rather than meaning, to provide a syllabary with which to write out Japanese words.  This may have been done for similar reasons to why it was also used in the Man'yoshu itself—because the Kojiki was meant to be recited aloud, not just read for meaning. The Nihon Shoki, in contrast, is clearly attempting to emulate the continental style.  It relies much more heavily on not just the characters but the grammar of Chinese, though not without its own idiosyncrasies.  The Nihon Shoki incorporated classical references that mirrored the references found in the histories of the Tang and earlier dynasties.  I suspect, for instance, that this is one of the main reasons that Naka no Oe and Ohoama are given the posthumous names of “Tenji” and “Temmu”.  Tenji means something like the Wisdom of Heaven while Temmu is more like the Martial Virtue of Heaven.  This immediately brings to mind, for me, the continental concepts of Wen and Wu—Culture and Warefare, or Bunbu in Japanese.  This even mirrors the founding Zhou kings, King Wen and King Wu.  Later, in the Han dynasty, you have Emperor Wu of Han, the grandson of Emperor Wen of Han, and Wu was considered to be one of the greatest emperors of the Han dynasty.  And so I can't help but think that there was a similar attempt at mythmaking going on here, connecting these two reigns with the reigns of famous emperors of the continent.  Of course, “Wu” was a popular name amongst the imperial dynasties from that period onward, with emperors of Jin, Chen, Liang, and others all being given the same name. This all accords with the way that the sovereign in the Nihon Shoki is less of a sacral king, interceding and speaking with the kami, and more along the continental model of an absolute ruler who ruled by divine right and heavenly mandate.  The lands outside of Yamato are subdued and, except for the occasional uprising, stay subdued—or at least that is what the narrative would seemingly have us believe. Now, I would argue that these distinctions are not absolute.  The Kojiki contains plenty of concepts of imperial trappings, and the Nihon Shoki contains plenty of examples of the sovereign playing a more traditional role.  But it is something to consider in the broad strokes of what they are saying, and I would argue that it also speaks to the duality of what was going on in this period.  Clearly the Ritsuryo State was built on the continental model, with an absolute ruler who ruled through a Heavenly mandate.  And yet at the same time, we see Ohoama patronizing the traditional spiritual sites and kami worship, like the emphasis on Amaterasu and Ise shrine.  Besides the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, we have one more set of official records that were compiled just as the major histories were beginning to be finished.  These were the Fudoki.  Fudoki were texts about the various provinces, and they include information on the various places, population, soil quality, as well as various local myths and legends attached to such things.  Rather than supporting the royal lineage, the Fudoki were more geared towards supporting the process begun under Karu and Naka no Oe with the Ritsuryo system whereby knowledge of the archipelago was being centralized such that the State could know about its territories.  Still, there are many times that the various Fudoki refer to different sovereigns, often to help situate a given event roughly within the historical narrative. The Fudoki were commissioned in 713.  At least 48 chronicles were said to have been compiled, but only a handful of them remain extant today.  Most are only partial texts, though even those can still contain significant information.  We also have purported text from certain fudoki that were reprinted in later histories.  The Shaku Nihongi seems to have been one such work, expressly commissioned to try and compile various older records that were likely aging and in danger of being lost altogether.  However, there is a concern regarding just how faithful those later transcriptions might have been, meaning that we cannot rely on them, entirely.  Still, they are an invaluable addition to our study of the history of this period. I mention all of this because much of this period seems dedicated to remaking the nation of Yamato into what we know as Japan.  This evolution didn't happen overnight, and it seems clear that it started gradually, but had now come to a head.  There is some consideration, though, that many of the things attributed to earlier reigns—the work done by Shotoku Taishi, for example, or even that of Naka no Oe—may have been embellished in this period.  After all, consider the difference between Ohoama trying to institute something entirely new versus pointing back to a previous sovereign and claiming that he wasn't innovating, he was just following tradition. But there are still unmistakable signs of innovation in the following reigns.  The creation of the first permanent capital city, for one.  There was also the blending of Buddhist and local kami-based traditions.  While Buddhism had been ascendant for a while, now, we see Ohoama seemingly paying equal homage to Amaterasu and the local kami.  Even while instituting new fangled continental ideas, he is also hearkening back to traditions that I can only imagine helped assuage some of the fears of any traditionalists who saw the rapid speed at which the archipelago was adopting at least the trappings of continental imperial culture. Speaking of culture, there was one other work that we should probably mention, and that is the famous Man'yoshu—the collection of 10,000 Leaves.  I mentioned this briefly earlier in the episode, but I do want to discuss it a bit, because as much as we may glean from the official histories, as well as the various fudoki texts, the Man'yoshu provides an invaluable view into the minds of the people of the time, and contains some incredibly useful tidbits of information that, when put together, help give us a better idea of what was happening during this period. The Man'yoshu is a collection of more than 4500 poems attributed to various historical figures, from sovereigns, such as Ohoama and Naka no Oe, to common soldiers.  It is remarkable in that the poems are largely in native Japanese and are not using the Sinitic poetry styles that were popular with scholars of the time. These poems are waka, Japanese verse, which typically follows a pattern of repeating verses of 5-7-5 syllables or morae, ending with two lines of 7-7.  The most simple of these are tanka—one top verse of 5-7-5, and one bottom verse of 7-7.  However, the poems in the collection can vary quite a bit. They are also remarkable in that they are written in what we know as Man'yogana.  That is to say they use Sinitic characters—kanji—but for their sound rather than their meaning in many cases.  This practice allowed for much more nuanced writing, such that the author could be more certain that the correct meaning could be taken away, since Japanese grammar differs greatly from various Chinese languages, and leverages particles and suffixes that are non-existent in Sinitic script.  Often times, when reading something like the Nihon Shoki, one has to infer the Japanese word order, particles, and suffixes from the text as a whole.  This is common with any kanbun—a very Japanese style of Chinese writing that often requires its own study to fully understand. Meanwhile, the Man'yogana allowed someone to more easily sound out the letters in the Man'yoshu.  This must have been important when morae or syllable count was important to the art form.  Furthermore, it gives us tremendous insight into how spoken Japanese may have sounded  back in the 8th century. And of course it is great that we have all of these poems, but almost more important is the other information contained in the collection.  Most poems not only are attributed to a particular author, but they often give a brief introduction to lay out the circumstance in which the poem was composed.  These poems are, in many ways, more straightforward than many later poetic styles, which relied much more heavily on so-called “pillow words”, poetic allusions, or callbacks to previous poems—not that they were completely devoid of such references, especially to other, often continental, works. Some poems are actually paired—a type of call and response.  A man would often be expected to send a poem to a lady with whom he had recently had assignations, and she would often respond.  Through such correspondence, preserved in the poetic record, we can see connections that might not be as clear in the various historical texts. Now, 4500 is a lot of poems and I'll be honest, I'm probably not going to be researching all of them for historical tidbits, but it is nonetheless important to understand.  One should also be careful—while the poems are often attributed to various artists and famous persons, this may sometimes be misleading.  The attribution may have been garbled or forgotten, and recreated. Most of the poems in the Man'yoshu are presented with at least some amount of framing around them.  They are grouped loosely by various themes.  We are then told, for each poem, the composer and the occasion for which it was created.  Sometimes this may be as simple as “when they were out hunting”, but that still gives us some context on which to go by as for why the author was writing the poem in the first place. The poems themselves vary in size.  There are short poems, or tanka, but also longer form chōka poems, with multiple verses.  Some may allude to previous poems, but many of the poems are just about the author's feelings.  Unlike haiku, they were not quite so proscribed in terms of “pillow words” or requisite seasonal descriptions. And yet these poems, just as much as the histories, were important in capturing some part of the cultural zeitgeist from that time.  We can see what was considered popular or important, and it was there for future generations down until today. Ultimately the Kojiki would largely be overshadowed by the more comprehensive and prestigious seeming history in the Nihon Shoki.  The Nihon Shoki would become the official history, inspiring future historical records, such as the Shoku Nihongi, the continuation of the records.  The Man'yoshu, likewise, would be emulated, with future compilations like the Kokinshu. These, in turn, would impact the cultural imaginary of the time.  They would shape people's ideas about the past, about art, and even about the nature of the kami themselves.  During this period it is hard to understate just how much they were setting in place a new system.  It is even difficult to tell how much of that system had actually been instituted by previous sovereigns, even though it's hard to tell how much that actually happened as opposed to simple claims by Ohoama and, later, Uno, to justify what they were doing.  Up to this point, the Ritsuryou State and the various reforms had been an experiment, but under Ohoama we truly see that the new government upgrades would be fully installed.  At the same time, we also see a shake up in the court.  Those who had been loyal to Ohoama during the Jinshin conflict of 672 received various rewards—increased rank and stipend, for one thing.  As famous individuals passed away, they were also granted posthumous rank, which might not seem like much, but it increased the family's prestige and that of the individual's descendants without actually handing out a higher level stipend that would be a drain on the coffers.  All of this also continued to build up the elites' reliance on not just the court, but on the throne itself for their status, wealth, and position.  Thus they had a vested interest in seeing that the project succeeded. And that is the world that we are about to dive into.  Thank you, I know we didn't get into too much of the immediate history, and some of this is spoilers—after all, this took time and in the moment it could have turned out quite differently.  What if Ohoama had gotten sick and died?  What if there had been a rebellion?  What if Silla or Tang had attacked?  While we know what happened from the safety of our vantage point, far in the future, it is important to remember that at the time the people in the court didn't know what would happen next, so please keep that in mind. Next episode, we'll start to get into the actual events of the reign, starting with Ohoama's ascension to the throne at the newly built Kiyomihara palace in Asuka.

Poté, co se Bryan Kohberger nečekaně přiznal, následovalo vynesení trestu. A nebylo to jen nějaké nudné soudní kolečko. Přímo v soudní síni totiž promluvily rodiny obětí – a každá úplně jiným tónem. Někteří s láskou vzpomínali na své blízké. Jiní rovnou nabídli odpuštění. A další šli Bryanovi přímo po krku. Bez cenzury a bez slitování. Poprvé taky veřejně promluvila i přeživší spolubydlící Dylan Mortensen a její řeč byla hodně silná a emotivní.

Something strange is happening in the Music Elixir universe. Sarah shares a peculiar dream where she was Jin's girlfriend during wartime and Taehyung got a nosebleed after falling from a Segway—only for Taehyung to post about getting an actual nosebleed just days later. When the psychic portal opens between these Pisces hosts, the coincidences start flowing!We dive deep into a Rolling Stone controversial ranking of BTS solo songs, where RM's "seoul" claims the #1 spot. Surprisingly, many tracks we gushed about during our Jin concert road trip made the top 10, including Jin's "The Astronaut" at #9 and SUGA's "Snooze" featuring Ryuichi Sakamoto and WOOSUNG of The Rose at #8. But where was V's "Love Me Again"? Some rankings left us scratching our heads.Frustration boils over when discussing ARASHI's comeback strategy—why announce a return to the spotlight only to release content exclusively through their fan club that's closed to new members? Meanwhile, KAT-TUN plans a surprise one-night reunion concert despite having officially disbanded in March, and SUPER EIGHT secures their first-ever performance at the prestigious Nippon Budokan.The conversation shifts to KCON LA's organizational disaster: eliminated panels, no three-day passes, endless lines, and a convention floor dominated by beauty products with barely any artist merchandise. What happened to the KCON we loved? On a brighter note, MONSTA X officially announces their new album "The X" dropping September 1st, and we reminisce about our canceled 2020 concert tickets, hoping they'll return to Boston soon.As we approach our 250th episode milestone with listeners in 166 countries, we're proud to have defied the podcast odds.

Film Lení škola, 2001 je první celovečerní film o vietnamské komunitě v Česku, poprvé byl představený divákům na festivalu v Karlových Varech. „Jiný celovečerní film na stejné téma, s touto autentickou sondou tady není,“ říká režisér snímku Dužan Duong. Na to, že se tak rázem stal „mluvčím“ vietnamské komunity, pak říká: „Asi někdo musí stát v první řadě, ale doufám, že nebudu jediný a že se připojí další,“ doplňuje v pořadu Hovory.Všechny díly podcastu Hovory můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Už jste vybrali nejlepší stranickou hymnu, nejroztomilejší politické zvíře i nejkurióznější facku. V letní sérii politického bizáru Vlevo dole se tentokrát podíváme na celebrity, které se zapojily do kampaní.Politické strany se už tradičně před volbami snaží získat přízeň nějaké celebrity, aby ukázaly, že je mají rádi známí lidé - nejčastěji herci, zpěváci nebo sportovci. Ale se sháněním to mají čím dál těžší, málokteré z hvězd se v posledních letech chce riskovat, že občanskou angažovaností ztratí část svých fanoušků.Své by o tom mohl vyprávět třeba herec Martin Dejdar, který se v roce 2013 rozhodl v prezidentských volbách aktivně podporovat Miloše Zemana. Dejdar tím tehdy dokonce rozlítil scenáristy Jiřího Stránského a Hynka Bočana, autory Zdivočelé země. V jejich televizním seriálu o zvůli komunistického režimu v poválečném pohraničí hrál Dejdar hlavní roli Antonína Maděry, kterou podle nich podporou Zemana „zradil“.Jiné celebrity jsou zas podezírané z toho, že jejich podpora politickým stranám není zas tak nezištná. Přesně to se letos přihodilo Bolku Polívkovi: v květnu promluvil na zahájení předvolební roadshow koalice Spolu, zároveň jeho Divadlo Bolka Polívky získalo letos od města Brna vedeného primátorkou Markétou Vaňkovou z ODS rekordní dotaci, takže opozice ho viní z toho, že jde o odměnu za politickou podporu.Na nepochybně upřímnou náklonnost Jiřiny Bohdalové se ovšem může spolehnout Miloš Zeman. Herečka ho neochvějně podporuje od prezidentských voleb v roce 2013. Tu a tam se potkají dodnes. „Už mi, lásko, není dvacet let,“ zpívala Bohdalová například před dvěma roky na křtu Zemanovy knihy Spiknutí. V ní exprezident paranoidně viní z hospitalizace po volbách v roce 2021 všechny okolo, jen ne svůj zdravotní stav.Do politických kampaní se v minulosti zapojily mnohé další známé tváře. Ke stálicím rozhodně patří „pravdoláskařka“ Eva Holubová, která se občansky hodně angažuje - podporuje liberální a zelené strany. A ohromný zájem vždy byl o megastar Jaromíra Jágra - nejprve podpořil politiky ODS, později pak natočil legendární kuřecí video s Andrejem Babišem.Poslechněte si celou epizodu TOP 5 Vlevo dole a vyberte vítěze ankety!----Vlevo dole řeší politické kauzy, boje o vliv i šeptandu z kuloárů Sněmovny.

Have you ever felt completely spellbound by a performer who knows exactly how to hold your heart in their hands? That's precisely what happened when we traveled four hours across four states to witness Jin's solo concert at Newark's Prudential Center.Jin transformed the massive arena into what felt like an intimate variety show, crafting a performance that was uniquely his own. From the moment he appeared as a silhouette walking slowly down the catwalk to his explosive start with "Running Wild," he commanded every eye in the venue. His sparkly denim outfit made him look like "the Milky Way" personified – a fitting image for a star of his magnitude.What struck us most was how Jin structured the show – alternating between high-energy performances and interactive game segments where he playfully teased the audience about our Korean pronunciation. The games weren't just entertaining; they were Jin's clever way of creating breathing room between demanding vocal performances while keeping the audience thoroughly engaged. His sassy comments and playful attitude had the entire arena laughing and screaming for more.The emotional centerpiece came when Jin sat at the piano, bringing complete silence to the arena with soul-stirring renditions of "Abyss" and other ballads. When he performed "The Astronaut" while lying on the stage floor, the connection was so intense it felt like he was singing directly to each person there. That's the magic of Jin – his ability to make 10,000 people feel like they're having a one-on-one experience with him.Join us for this detailed account of three days with Jin that left us emotional, exhilarated, and completely in awe of his talents. Between shows, we navigated merchandise lines, rainstorms, and the quest for the elusive Jin ramen, creating memories that will last far beyond the final notes.

In this episode, we dive deep into Lost Season 3, Episode 2: "The Glass Ballerina." We unpack Sun and Jin's layered backstory, the tension brewing between the Others and the survivors, and that unforgettable moment when Sun shatters more than just glass. From Ben's manipulations to Sayid's tactical mind, we explore how this episode ramps up the stakes and deepens the mystery of the island. Is this the moment Sun truly comes into her own? And what does that ending say about the power dynamics at play?Then, in a sharp pivot from mysterious islands to psychological horror, we turn our attention to Zach Cregger's new film, Weapons. Following the surprise success of Barbarian, Cregger returns with another dark, mind-bending thriller that's already stirring buzz. We break down what we know so far, the cast lineup, and why Weapons might just reshape the genre the way Barbarian did. Tune in as we connect the dots between narrative tension in TV and horror in film—and why storytellers like Cregger are worth watching.Keep tuning in for more episodes of Lost and more movie recaps right here on the #talkintvpodcast

Už jste vybrali nejlepší stranickou hymnu, nejroztomilejší politické zvíře - a dnes přitvrdíme: v letní sérii politického bizáru Vlevo dole se podíváme na nejkurióznější facky, potyčky a strkanice.V epicentru tuzemské politiky na pražské Malé Straně jsou rivalové zvyklí se hádat a vzájemně se urážet. Fyzické konflikty jsou ale naštěstí pořád raritou, kterou jinak známe třeba z parlamentů v Turecku, Jihoafrické republice, Gruzii či na Tchajwanu.Když už se něco takového u nás výjimečně přihodí, je událost náležitě rozebírána ze všech stran. Jako první se veřejně, a dokonce před kamerami, rozhodl řešit osobní konflikt někdejší místopředseda ODS Miroslav Macek: uštědřil pádný „záhlavec“ tehdejšímu ministru zdravotnictví Davidu Rathovi z ČSSD. Ponížený Rath se pak u soudu domáhal milionového odškodného a veřejné omluvy, dočkal se jen toho druhého.Jiný provokatér, někdejší poslanec Lubomír Volný, byl iniciátorem bitky přímo u pultíku, odkud se řídí schůze Sněmovny. Nelíbilo se mu, že předsedající Tomáš Hanzel mu vypnul mikrofon poté, co urážel ČSSD i samotného Hanzela. Volný si s ním šel celou věc vyřídit přímo k předsednickému pultu s legendárním heslem „Dostaneš flákanec!“Byla z toho mela několika poslanců, kterou musela vyřešit až ochranka, neboť Hanzela se týmově vypravili bránit jeho straničtí kolegové. Připomeňme, že Volný, který odmítal za covidové pandemie nosit roušku, měl tehdy problémů se zákonem více - třeba za šíření poplašných zpráv o lécích dostal u soudu podmíněný trest.Podcasteři Lucie Stuchlíková a Václav Dolejší v aktuální epizodě rozebírají i další politicky nabité strkanice: třeba boxerské utkání ve štábu podporovatelů Miloše Zemana po znovuzvolení prezidentem v lednu 2018 nebo škrcení a kopání na hotelovém pokoji, kde se o letní noci nečekaně setkaly manželka i milenka pirátského náměstka ministra vnitra.Má větší ránu Udženija, nebo vidlák ze Slavičína? Vychovává Kalousek pohlavky i děti ministra práce, nebo si je Jurečka zpohlavkuje sám? A co vy? Taky byste si někdy nejradši dali facku?

It's been a hot minute but we are back with our memories of our Seoul trip as well as all the hullabaloo with the return of OT7. Now we are off to Jin's concert this weekend.

Hey ARMY! Your two favorite Unnie's here to shamelessly obsess about BTS! This week, we are covering the BTS Festa videos made by Jin and J-Hope! We fangirl over the photos that came out from this, as well as answer the questions they answered in their live! We are so stoked that OT7 is back, baby!!Join us as we obsess over BTS and everything they have to offer!

In a recent turn of events, huge life changes have happened for us. But before dealing with life, of course, we have to watch the new BTS music video like HELLOOO. In this week's episode, I surprise Alcheska with some (happy) news, react to J-Hope's Killin It Girl M/V, and goon over all things BTS comeback.

Jiný fokus, který bychom mohli při pohledu na české dějiny posledních dvou století uplatnit, jsou lidé. Kdo tu vlastně spoří a myslí při tom na budoucnost? Ostatně, finanční zdraví je téma v minulosti stejně jako dnes. A jakou roli mělo spoření během válek a revolucí?

Lékaři upozorňují na to, že v horku je potřeba doplňovat také minerály. Jinými slovy, pít jen vodu nestačí. Proč není vhodné dohánět pití navečer? A čím opravdu doplnit tekutiny? Na to odpovídá předseda Mladých praktiků Vojtěch Mucha.

Pod pojmem skalka si představí každý něco jiného. Pro někoho je to větší květináč s bonsají. Jiný za skalku považuje celou kamennou zahradu, s jezírkem, lekníny a koi kapry.

Pod pojmem skalka si představí každý něco jiného. Pro někoho je to větší květináč s bonsají. Jiný za skalku považuje celou kamennou zahradu, s jezírkem, lekníny a koi kapry.

The founder of French digital agency Jin says future shareholders might prefer to have their companies led by an artificial intelligence rather than a “very impetuous, not predictable CEO.”

Note: this was recorded in early June and edited in late June, so some speculation may already be out of date! In this episode, we spend the majority of the time reviewing Jin's latest album, Echo. We also talk about (at the time) J-Hope's upcoming release of Killin' It Girl (feat. GloRilla), and speculate about upcoming group activities post-military!

Někteří lidé chtějí zvířata, která přinášejí užitek. Jiní taková, která přinášejí klid. Mezi ty patří Marc Schädler, který v srdci lichtenštejnských Alp chová stádo lam. Jeho farmu navštěvují turisté z celého světa, aby si vyzkoušeli neobvyklou procházku v horách.

Sněmovnou prošla koncem května takzvaná maxi novela trestního zákoníku. Některé věci, které byly v jejím rámci schváleny, jsou minimálně diskutabilní. Jiné ale přinášejí naději na změnu v oblastech, které byly až donedávna zcela zabetonované. Změna přístupu k pěstování a držení konopí je jednou z takových změn.

Welcome back to Brief Encounters, the podcast where we sift through the ashes of the past … to find the sparks that just don't fit. I'm your host, Nik. And tonight, we're crossing scorching sands back to the Arabian Peninsula, in the year 1487. A time of caliphates and caravans, of mystics and merchants. But deep in the silence of the desert, something appeared. Not travelers. Not stars. Not sandstorms. But men—fiery men—falling from the sky. That's right. In a strange and little-known report from 1487, travelers told tales of burning figures descending from the sky. Figures that glowed, pulsed with heat, and radiated terror. So, were these apparitions just hallucinations in the haze of heat? Or is this another case of humanity witnessing something … not from here?A side project of Nik Hunter, host of the UFO Chronicles PodcastIt is a trial run of ten twice-weekly bite size episodes, if enjoyed by the listener, Nik will continue releasing episodes.Brief Encounters is a tightly produced, narrative podcast that dives headfirst into the world of UFO sightings, the paranormal, cryptids, myths, and unexplained legends.

Exploring Energy Medicine and Intuitive Gifts with Dr. Mary Sanders - Ep.320 Is the unseen realm of energy and intuition silently shaping your health, happiness, and purpose? Imagine a world where your hands could unlock hidden stories, your body could feel the emotions of others, and the subtle vibrations around you held profound wisdom. JIn this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell interviews Dr. Mary Sanders, a medical intuitive and chiropractor whose innate gifts, initially suppressed to fit in, blossomed into a powerful practice of energy medicine. From a childhood awareness of physical touch and an unexpected ability to manipulate energy even in church, Dr. Mary navigated a path through chiropractic and intuition medicine to become a guide for women seeking to enhance their well-being on all levels.  Explore the concepts of cytometry, the ability to receive information through touch, and clairsentience, the gift of perceiving emotional and physical information, and discover how these often-unacknowledged senses can hold the key to understanding your own energetic landscape.  What You Will Learn: The definition and evolution of energy medicine and medical intuition. Dr. Mary Sanders' personal journey into becoming a medical intuitive and chiropractor, including her early awareness of intuitive abilities from childhood, her conscious decision to desensitize these gifts to fit in, and her eventual re-emergence and formal training in intuition medicine. The significance of grounding (earthing) for physiological well-being, including its benefits for sleep, digestion, and energy metabolism. The principles and process of remote energy medicine, which operates on the understanding that humans are electromagnetic beings capable of harmonizing frequencies.
