 We're Julietta and Graciela, and we're sooooo excited to invite you into our Cacao Conversations—your weekly dose of heart-opening chats, all served with a warm cup of cacao. You'll feel like one of the family during this podcast where we speak frankly, and humorously, about some of life's big questions. We share wisdom we've picked up along the way and wonder out loud about lots of life's mysteries. Whether we're diving deep into transformation, laughing at life's quirks, or simply talking about the weather (which is, like, a much bigger deal at this age, isn't it?!?), you get a front row seat to our sometimes crazy, mostly spiritual and always authentic lives. From sweat lodge ceremonies to sweaty teen socks, we cover it all. So, grab your favorite mug, fill it with cacao and join us for some profound laughter. Cacao Conversations is about empowering you to remember who you are and step into the life that feels authentically yours. How do you use sound or music to shift energy? Whether it's a drumming circle under the stars or blasting your favorite song in the car with the windows down, sound has the power to transform energy in an instant. In this vibrant episode, we're talking about the healing power of sound and music—and how you can use both as spiritual tools to clear blocks, reset your nervous system, and elevate your vibration. We'll explore everything from sound bowls and tuning forks to mantras, playlists, and primal screams (yes, really)—and share how these practices have helped us move through grief, expand joy, and reconnect with our bodies. If you've ever felt the chills from a single note or cried during a song you couldn't explain, you already know the magic we're talking about. This one's for the feelers, the healers, and anyone curious about the frequency of transformation. So pour your cacao, press play, and let's vibe higher—together. Your cup is ready. Your journey is waiting. Let's sip, chat, and transform—together. Find out more at https://www.bodyandsoulevents.love/ Hey! Thanks for listening! If you liked this episode, please send us a message.

I hope you don't mind me sharing my continuing journey in raising awareness and money for dementia research. I'm releasing an album of my music (and it's not disco!) on 10th October 2025. Here I talk about my fears of writing a song about dementia and getting it wrong. I did care for two close relatives with dementia, but I will never know what it was like from their point of view.The first track from the album is out now. It's called Maybe I'm Gay. It's available to stream and download everywhere. Here's the link to Apple Music.All proceeds from the album, called The Gift, are in aid of the charity, Alzheimer's Research UK. It is estimated that 982,000 people are living with dementia in the UK today, rising to 1.4 million by 2040. In 2022 it was the leading cause of death in the UK. Globally the World Health Organisation estimates that 57 million people have dementia. New cases are occurring at the rate of nearly 10 million each year, which breaks down to about one new case every 3.2 seconds. In the UK, the estimated economic impact of dementia in 2024 was £42.5 billion, a figure that is expected to more than double by 2040.

En este episodio exploramos a fondo el mutismo acinético, una de las manifestaciones más desconcertantes tras un daño cerebral grave. Hablamos de su base neurofisiológica, su relación con el sistema dopaminérgico y los circuitos prefronto-subcorticales, y cómo se diferencia clínicamente de otros estados de conciencia alterada. Recorremos también las opciones terapéuticas más prometedoras, desde la estimulación multisensorial y la verticalización robótica hasta técnicas de neuromodulación como la estimulación cerebral profunda, la estimulación medular o la tDCS. Un episodio técnico, narrativo y lleno de preguntas clínicas clave, pensado para quienes trabajan día a día con pacientes que aún no responden... pero que podrían hacerlo.

Most of us can agree: music is awesome. Regardless of which songs speak to you, music probably plays an important role in your life. The question is, what makes music so powerful? Why does a particular combination of sounds and rhythms grab us and affect us in the way that it does? And is it true that music can help heal patients with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, PTSD, chronic pain, and more? To help us understand what we're learning about the neuroscience of music and how it can heal and enrich our lives, we're speaking with Daniel Levitin. He's a musician and a producer as well as a neuroscientist and bestselling author. His newest book is "I Heard There was a Secret Chord: Music As Medicine." Learn More:"I Heard There Was a Secret Chord" playlistMenon, V., & Levitin, D. J. (2005).

In this episode of Talk of Fame, Kylie Montigney talks with Krystal King!  At three years old, Krystal caught a snippet of Alan Jackson on the radio...and the rest is history. Country music was in her bones. She followed this love of music to college where she studied Music Therapy at Appalachian State University (home of Eric Church & Luke Combs) and worked as a psychiatric music therapist. While she loved being able to use music to help others, Krystal says that country music "haunted" her and she knew she had to follow that passion, bringing her to Nashville.  Krystal's sound has been described as 90's country with a bit of folk, blues, soul, and rock. Krystal combines early influences of artists such as Alan Jackson, Dixie Chicks, Lee Ann Womack, & Willie Nelson with modern likes of Eric Church, Chris Stapleton, & Ashley McBryde. When it comes to songwriting, Krystal says "Loretta Lynn is my alter ego." Krystal has released 9 original singles -6 of which were produced by Mike Loudermilk (previously producing and playing guitar for Crystal Gayle). Over the next year, She will be releasing her self produced, Debut Album "Pretty Poison" (CD Available Now). The first single from the project, "Red Wine & White Lies" has over 15K streams on Spotify and "Mind Your Own Backyard," a quirky murder song from the album, has 27K music video views and is featured on the Heartland Network and CountryLine.  Krystal has had the honor of performing iconic stages including the Bluebird Cafe, The Listening Room Cafe and Tootsies Orchid Lounge in Nashville and tours nationally visiting NC, TN, WI, AL, AZ, MS, & FL, & Texas. Additionally Krystal has played several festivals with headliners including Walker Hayes (WestHaven PorchFest), Craig Morgan (Keys To Country), Kristian Bush (Meeting of the Minds) and opened for Beth Neilson Chapman (writer of "This Kiss" by Faith Hill.). In 2024, Krystal had the honor of performing the VIP Lounge at Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville for the Lainey Wilson Concert Other notable performances included the National Anthem for the Charlotte FC out of the Panthers Stadium and the Novant Health Thanksgiving Parade in Charlotte, NC. Listen in as we discuss Krystal's  journey and her life in Tennessee.

Lost In: Solfeggio Frequencies  In this deeply immersive episode of Lost In, we explore music not just as art, but as medicine. This mix features all 9 Solfeggio Frequencies – ancient tones long believed to promote healing, balance, and spiritual awakening.Each “miracle” tone is given space to work, lasting around 9 minutes and moving from 174Hz – known as a natural anaesthetic – through to 963Hz, associated with pineal gland activation. Along the way, these frequencies are said to aid in detoxifying the body, calming the mind, and promoting cell regeneration.Whether you're here for meditation, deep focus, or a moment of escape, let this journey help you reset, realign, and recharge.

Today we're breaking down the occult sciences of frequency healing! The first 30 minutes is discussion about clothing (100% cotton effects, weight room pump covers), food preparation rituals and lethal bug sprays. At 30 minute mark we start in with the defining "frequencies", electromagnetic waves, brainwaves and ROYGBIV. Then we get into the ancient Hermetic sciences of the Emerald Tablets and The Kybalion's Principle of Vibration and how that fits into the illusory nature of reality and quantum physics (with some Twin Peaks for good measure). We wrap it up with real life science of light healing, LEDs, 432 Hz vs 440 Hz conspiracies, effects of music, Binaural beats, CIA Gateway project, flourescent light misery and how the nerds are gonna kill us!  LINKS:  MushroominatiWatcher coffee: OccultSymbolism.com You can now sign up for our commercial-free version of the show with a Patreon exclusive bonus show called “Morning Coffee w/ the Weishaupts” at Patreon.com/BreakingSocialNorms  OR subscribe on the Apple Podcasts app to get all the same bonus “Morning Coffee” episodes AD-FREE with early access!

But I think even adults, even adults who haven't been through trauma can tell you that it's sometimes difficult to talk about our feelings. I think that is the beauty of music therapy. Because clients can come. They don't necessarily need to say exactly what they want to explore. We can just explore in music. Hi Neighbor, Did you know that music can be a powerful tool for healing in the lives of adopted children navigating trauma? Today, I'm excited to welcome back my neighbor from London, Crystal Luk-Worrall. Crystal is a music therapist, EMDR practitioner, and clinical supervisor who specializes in helping children and families heal from early trauma. In Episode 180, Crystal introduced us to EMDR therapy—a powerful approach for adoptive parents supporting kids through trauma. In this episode, she shares her personal journey—from aspiring concert pianist to discovering her true calling as a music therapist. Crystal explains how music opens up new pathways for communication and healing. Music allows kids to express what words often can't. In therapy, it becomes a bridge—not just between sounds, but to feelings that may be too big or complex to name. As parents, we can help our children explore their emotions rather than suppress them. Grab a pen and paper—Crystal has some simple, practical ways you can start incorporating music therapy at home. Anchors of Hope and Healing are on the way.

Periodically on TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'm DOING , we share a SPOTLIGHT conversation and feature brief chats with an individual from the community about a special topic or a unique endeavor. Now while we truly should strive for mental wellness all the time, May is mental health awareness month, and there's no more obvious place to focus our energy than on something we too often take for granted… our breathing. So I'm going to take a yogic approach, drawing from the teachings of both my parents who are yoga instructors and remembering some of the daily habits of my grandparents. Breathing is essentially the most outward demonstration of our “prana”, the Sanskrit word that refers to our innate universal life force, and through “ayama” the Sanskrit word which  means to  regulate or control or lengthen, we can therefore use the practice of "pranayama" to not just consciously understand our breathing, but also optimize and even increase that life force and harmonize our mind, body, and spirit. Now whether it's deeply practicing this living science of pranayama or simply pausing briefly to become more conscious of our breathing, the benefits can be quite extensive for so many physical and mental concerns.  So it was especially terrific to have a conversation about…well… breathing with Dr. Amit Anand, who is a pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine specialist AND a master yoga teacher -  truly a breathing superhero. With an academic medicine background, training in both Mumbai at KEM and in Boston at Harvard, Amit has been a rigorous practitioner, clinical teacher, and researcher.  Fortunately for many patients and students alike, he has taken his experience and integrated this evidence based medical approach with an expertise in yoga training, meditation, breathwork, and pranayama. Amit is the founder of Pranayamarx,  leading live and online yoga workshops and pranayama courses. He is also the co-founder of Breathonance,  a science-based breathwork experience that integrates the yogic teachings of Pranayama with resonant musical rhythms. I actually caught a live demo this year and I was struck by a few things: the importance of creating space for this, how little time was actually required vs the perception of what was required, and the beautiful convergence of music, meditation, and breathing.  Now, I know that all of you know this, but the content and conversation here should not be taken as medical advice, and is for informational purposes only, and because each person is so unique, please consult your own healthcare professional team for any medical questions. And so as Amit and I caught up to chat, we started with the very basic question that was in front of both of us particularly as doctors, in why we all tend to be so painfully unaware of our own breathing?And you can visit breathonance.com to learn more about Amit's vision and the musical expertise of co-founder Clint Valladares

Episode #968 Ever have a song take you back to a moment in your life—instantly? That's not just nostalgia. It's your nervous system responding to sound. In this episode, I sit down with Levi Goins, the man we call the “ranch wizard” at TPM—but today, we're tapping into one of his true gifts: the healing power of personalized music. Levi's been quietly changing lives behind the scenes using custom music therapy tracks. We're talking about music that's actually designed to anchor you into the man you want to be—whether that's the calm leader walking through your front door or the powerful father fully present with his kids. We get into how sound affects your emotional state, how to create music that becomes a personal trigger for peace, presence, or energy—and why even guys with zero musical talent (like me) can do this. This isn't about learning an instrument. It's about creating something that sticks with you, wherever you go, and gets you back to your best. You don't need a playlist. You need a personal soundtrack.
