In this episode, I interviewed Molly Lannon Kenny. Molly is a teacher, therapist, and writer who has dedicated her life to the collective reclamation and liberation of the human spirit.  Molly has been teaching radically inclusive yoga for over twenty years. She has been developing something she calls Bedside Yoga since 2003 and has worked extensively with people at end of life, including assisting and attending at scheduled deaths. We explored this topic a bit on the podcast today.  Support the show (https://innerpeaceyogatherapy.com)

A contemplative practice includes meditation, prayer, mindfulness, yoga, tai chi or qigong, journaling or anything that helps ground you. Some people uses affirmations while others use music to help them ease into a more tranquil state. Shameka Andrews (pictured above) shares her meditation experience with individuals and organizations and even at a local farmer's market in upstate New York. Positive affirmations and mirror work have helped Shameka move through feelings of depression and isolation associated with having a physical disability, Gareth Walker talks about finding mindfulness meditation and how it's helped him cope with Multiple Sclerosis. Mary Holt, RN, went through a mindfulness meditation training that changed how she works with patients and families dealing with neurological conditions like muscular dystrophy and Parkinson's disease. Melissa Felsenstein used sound meditation to help her move through depression and anxiety. Molly Lannon Kenny, a yoga therapist and graduate of a program in Christian mysticism, discusses similarities between prayer and meditation. Author Toni Bernhard offers her Buddhist perspective on meditation and how it has helped her deal with a chronic illness.

End-of-life planning is a huge topic. In previous podcast episodes we've covered the donation of body tissue for scientific research and attending a life transitions retreat. With three fascinating guests you'll learn about an annual symposium which brings together healthcare professionals, patients, caregivers and others all "committed to generating human-centered, interdisciplinary innovation for the end of life experience," a yoga therapist who trains others to care for the dying with bedside yoga, and a death doula. Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider, founder of End Well, speaks about her motivation and the need for the annual event. Molly Lannon Kenny shares how a Life After Loss program evolved into Bedside Yoga. Sarah Miller talks about becoming an end-of-life doula and her work at AARP. For more information about the death wellness movement, check out my article on Spirituality & Health magazine's website.

What is prayer and how do we do it? How does prayer differ from meditation? How can prayer impact healing? These are a few of the questions addressed by three podcast guests. The Jewish perspective of prayer from a rabbi who has faced cancer and chronic pain. The Christian perspective of prayer from a Baptist pastor whose late wife battled autoimmune disease and young son is in remission from cancer. And the perspective of a yoga therapist who has studied Christian mysticism. To learn more about the Unity World Day of Prayer (September 12), visit their website. Guests featured in this podcast episode are Molly Lannon Kenny, Rabbi Robin Leonard Nafshi, and Pastor Jay Holland. An earlier podcast episode is with Dr. Lamar Hardwick - The Autism Pastor.
