Part 1: Sound Healing is an ancient practice that touches the deep molecular structure of our bodies. Personally, sound healing has been a life-changing practice for me. I decided to interview one of the World's most respected Sound Healers, Joey McCune. Joey and her husband, Mitch Moore are the caretakers of the Tulum Sound Temple in Tulum, Mexico. There, they discovered an ancient cenote on their property and dug it out by hand. People are drawn from all over the world to experience Joey's sound healing as well as her network of Mayan and Aztek Shaman that work with the cave's energies during healing ceremonies. Find more about Sound Healing Tulum https://www.soundhealingtulum.com/ In this episode, Joey explains from her heart what Sound Healing is and how being in service to the healing process keeps her inspired.

The Maritime Union is calling for health authorities to offer one on one consultations for port union workers who are vaccine-hesitant. The union, which represents waterfront and port workers and seafarers, says that's the best way to counteract Covid-19 misinformation. Covid-19 Minister Chris Hipkins has blamed a 'wave of misinformation' for keeping 44 percent of port workers from getting their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Maritime Union National Secretary Craig Harrison spoke to Susie Ferguson.

In this episode of the Profitable Practice Podcast, I'm going to talk about how the last one and a half months have been, since stepping away from one on one consultations. And I assure you, it has been anything but seamless.  Stay Tuned! THERE IS NO BETTER WAY THAN BEING OUT OF SINGLE CONSULTATIONS In the past one and a half months, I have been free from my Calendar Slavery, gaining Time Freedom essentially for myself. It had been indeed very well for me, as such it was the biggest reason for my energy shift. For the past few months, I have been striving and successful all throughout my business, and I want it to happen to you too. I wanted to elaborate further on my experiences as I went out of One on One Consultations. It was stepping into this new place of abundance that made me feel great, having patients that were willing to engage with you all throughout. As you listen, you may resort to scheduling a Game Plan call with me as I want to help you decide what path you should take.  Stay Tuned!

In this episode, Linda McKisack and Dana Gentry sit down with Jeff Cohn, CEO of Elite Real Estate Systems and host of The Team Building Podcast.  Jeff started his real estate career at Berkshire Hathaway where he did 50 transactions in his first year, netting an impressive $96K. After starting his own team, he grew his business from 70 to 700 sales a year, and after 13 years in the industry has closed 5,000 transactions for over 1 billion in sales.  In 2014, Jeff reached the 7th level and was netting one million dollars a year while working less than 5 hours a week, and he started creating ancillary businesses including a title company, mortgage company, insurance company, an investing company and a call center. Jeff talks with Linda and Dana about how living a simple lifestyle for the first few years of his business allowed him to leverage out his business to help him keep growing, how being busy isn’t the true indicator of success, and how he would rather be the agent spending the most time at the beach instead of at the office.     To learn more about Jeff, check out his websites - www.jeffsbusinessplan.com www.theteambuildingsummit.com www.eliterealestatesystems.com www.jeffsworkshop.com Follow him on Instagram @jeffmcohn, or check out his YouTube page - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb9TFlPoTd9OdvlS36Xvkqg Got a Question?

A common theme among the events we have recently attended is generational differences. Many of our problems are focused around expectations. Different generations have different expectations and different ways they communicate. Tim Elmore refers to generations as Builders (1929-1945), Boomers (1946-1964), Busters (1965-1982), Millennials (1983-2000), Homelanders ( 2001+). Because of the lies from society, we begin to value things the wrong way. We put productivity over people and time over connection. We walk around trying to interpret people, not understand them. We are uncommitted. If you are uncommitted, you are unremembered. The ups and downs are where we are the happiest. It’s also where we do the most learning.  Failure leads to the greatest success which is humility and learning. We want to give up in the struggle. We need to realize that the struggle is part of the journey in getting to the success.  View all of the Show Notes Here Got a Question?

Energy can be conveyed in many different ways. Someone with a mild personality can have the same amount of energy as someone who has an enthusiastic personality as long as the person is authentic. The energy must also be authentic. If someone does not have the same energy that you have, are they a good fit for the organization? View the entire show notes here.  Got a Question?

Short term rentals are increasing in popularity across the country. In this episode, Linda McKissack and Dana Gentry interview Josh Shepler and Heath Green from Keller Williams and The Kentucky Life, Realty and Property Management in Lexington, Kentucky.  Josh and Heath manage over 30 short term rental properties and share their formula for success with our listeners.   Investors are realizing that the return on investment (ROI) for short term rentals when compared to long term rentals can be very lucrative. In one example, an owner charged $1100 in monthly rent from a tenant who had a year long contract.  The same home has generated $2500-2800 per month in short term rental income. While 8% ROI is a good investment, the short term rentals can generate from 12-15% ROI. Check with your local laws regarding short term rentals. View the show notes here.  We welcome your questions!

When you are exploring the idea of working with a partner, keep these pros and cons in mind when making your decision. Either way, have a plan that utilizes models and systems to reach your goals.  If you are considering a partnership, get clear on the expectations. Use Career Visioning as a guide to really get to know the person before you partner with them in business. Pitfalls in partnerships happen when one person outworks the other person. Decide up front how to get out of business with your partner.  Have an operating agreement that spells out how to get out of business before you ever begin. Get clear on what you want to accomplish. Have an end goal that is so big and bright that it will pull you through the hard stuff. Want to learn more? View our episode show notes here! We welcome your questions!

If you don’t design your life, something or someone else will. In this episode, Linda McKissack and Dana Gentry share their interpretation of living a life by design. We are called to live our best lives possible. If we don’t do that, we can fall into living the life someone else wants for us. If we go through life and don’t have a decision made for very key areas, there will be a default decision made that happens automatically that we may or may not like. According to the 100 Man Story, a survey of 100 people at the start of their working career and follow them for the next 40 years until they reach retirement age, here’s what you’ll find:  One will be wealthy Four will be financially secure Five will continue working, not because they want to but because they have to 36 will be dead 54 will be broke and dependent on friends, family, relatives, and the government Monetarily speaking, that’s only 5% of us who will be successful in creating a life of freedom, and 95% who will continue to struggle their entire lives.  Source: Income figures, U.S. Department of Commerce Publication "What's It Worth?" 100 Average Americans, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, SSA Pub #13-11871, Vernon Publishing.

In this episode, Linda McKissack and Dana Gentry discuss how to build your business by focusing on listing homes for sale. Listings help leverage your time because you are marketing and prospecting for buyers, rather than spending time driving and showing homes to buyers.  Listings help you build your brand name recognition through marketing. If you have a lot of listings, you have a lot of signs in the yards. Listings sell if they are priced right for the condition of the home and the comparable properties in the market, resulting in consistent income. Want to learn more? View our episode show notes here!

www.nikigratrix.com One to one consultations: https://www.abundantenergyportal.com/consultonetoone   Mind-Body Connection http://learntruehealth.com/mind-body-connection-for-healing/ People don’t realize that our mind-body connection plays a significant role in healing. I’ve always said in past episodes that true health is beyond the physical aspect. And more studies have supported the fact that focusing on mind-body connection do wonders for our health.  To explain more about the mind-body connection, I have award-winning Nutritional Therapist Niki Gratrix in today’s episode. Shifting Careers Niki Gratrix was previously into banking and finance. But because she had an interest in gaining knowledge about the mind-body connection, she felt the need to have a career shift. The opportunity came around fifteen years ago when Niki Gratrix met her partner who also became her business partner. Her business partner had been suffering severely from chronic fatigue syndrome for seven years, where he was bed-ridden for two of those years. “He recovered when I met him, and I was relaunching my career. I was starting to train at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, one of top Nutrition schools in the U.K,” shares Niki Gratrix. “My partner is a psychology practitioner. We co-founded a clinic together, focusing on people with fatigue issues.”  She adds, “We realized most illnesses have a significant emotional component. When that is unaddressed, you don’t get any results.” Niki Gratrix eventually won awards for her work and even got published in a British Medical Journal Open in 2012. The published paper states there is indeed a significant improvement and better results than some of the standard conventional interventions for chronic fatigue. Moving On The next stage of the clinic involved a randomized, controlled trial. Niki Gratrix was always extremely motivated in learning about psychology consciousness and the mind-body connection. So even if she did Nutrition, Niki Gratrix swapped over to integrate everything. She acquired training in NLP, emotional freedom technique and energy medicine-related intervention for the emotional side as well. Five years after co-founding the clinic, Niki Gratrix moved on and got interested in energy medicine. This is because she is always looking for a new modality. She eventually got into running the Abundant Energy Summit in 2015, which was the largest online summit on overcoming chronic fatigue.  NES Health Niki Gratrix was also interested in bioenergetics, which is the study of energy in living organisms. She has a system that assesses and scans the energy field and energetics of the body. Primarily, the system helps optimize the body and make organs work better. The NES Health, the organization that Niki Gratrix is connected with, primarily focuses on bioenergetics. NES meant Nutri-Energetic System and was co-founded by Harry Massey in 2000. Incidentally, Harry Massey suffered from chronic fatigue and was bed-ridden for seven long years. Harry Massey’s co-founder Peter Fraser, was an acupuncture expert from Australia. Peter Fraser was the one who brought acupuncture into Australia after researching extensively on Chinese medicine.  “Anytime you’re doing something that works with the energy field of the body, essentially that is bio-energetic medicine,” said Niki Gratrix. “We don’t think about energetics and mind-body connection enough when it comes to healing the physical body, yet the mind and body are truly one thing.”  She adds, “So what’s happening for you psycho-emotionally, is going to get translated into physical expression. I reset the nervous system and the immune system. Minute by minute, you can change the way your genes are expressing epigenetically by the way you think and feel.” Adverse Childhood Events If anybody has doubts whether your emotional state impacts your physiology, Niki Gratrix says there’s a significant study that doesn’t get enough exposure, called the adverse childhood events study. The adverse childhood events study was a study of over 17,000 people done by the CDC and Kaiser Permanente. The study discovered that 67% of all people had one adverse childhood event.  “If you had a high level of an adverse childhood event, you have an increased risk of seven out of top ten causes of death. Then if you have a moderate level like six adverse childhood events, you have a 20-year reduction in lifespan,” shares Niki Gratrix.  “You have a 400% increase of depression, Alzheimer’s and dementia if you have four adverse childhood events,” Niki Gratrix enumerates. “Plus, a chance of getting chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. If you have eight adverse childhood events, you have three times the risk of heart disease, and triple the risk of lung cancer.” Autoimmunity Niki Gratrix says autoimmunity is strongly co-related, like smoking and lung cancer for women. She says there’s a study that has ten categories and they look at things like parents separating or divorce. Some other factors are also taken into consideration like physical, sexual or emotional abuse, physical or emotional neglect, domestic violence, incarceration by a family member and substance abuse. “When we talk about emotional neglect and emotional trauma, this is subtle. And yet it can be devastating. Your stress levels directly impact your biology, and your system is reset,” explains Niki Gratrix. “Once you get into adulthood, there might be another trigger. But actually, it has already started 20 to 30 years before that.”  Understanding Trauma According to Niki Gratrix, if there is a singular event, we’re likely to develop a post-traumatic stress disorder. And there’s a lot of technique out there to cure that. “But the most emotional trauma isn’t from a single event. It’s relational trauma and has something to do with our relations with other people,” said Niki Gratrix. “It’s really when were not seen or heard. When that isn’t there in childhood, that trumps the event. And what trumps the event is developmental trauma.”  Furthermore, Niki Gratrix says that when you have that type of change, it leads to symptoms of things like perfectionism and lots of self-care. A lack of feeling of safety in the body can also lead to a sense of shame. All the addictions come from this as well. Because of all that, Niki Gratrix says it’s probably also one of the underlying causes of mental disorders like depression, anxiety and bipolar. Cultural Link We often don’t talk about the cultural aspect of illness. But Niki Gratrix says the culture has a profound impact on our physical health. For example, third generation survivors of the Holocaust victims have the same physiological and psychological expressions of their grandparents. The trauma is inherited, and you’ll see this where there are war and famine. “The stigma of an illness like beliefs of the conventional medicine system around chronic complex illness has a profound impact on the person. That kind of social stigma suppresses your immune system. And studies show you’re most likely to die from it,” Niki Gratrix said. Social Support Niki Gratrix also relates that there is a massive study done on over three hundred thousand people, showing that social support is a more significant predictor of survival than your body mass index, and factors like how much you smoked or how much exercise you did. She says social exclusion, feeling alienated, rejected, and unlovable, can make us start to deteriorate physically. It does have a massive physical impact on our health. The interesting factor is, Niki Gratrix says other people can be the most damaging thing, yet they can also be the healer as well. Indeed, the power of other people has been profoundly underestimated. “Part of recovery and improvement is a release of certain people that are not supportive and toxic. There’s often a journey that people need to go through to release lower energetic vibrating people. Otherwise, we’re not going to get to a full health potential,” said Niki Gratrix. Impact Of Stress If you look at stress physiology, it does have a strong mind-body connection. Stress affects everything in the body. Niki Gratrix says it resets the stress systems, so you have a low threshold response. “The brain changes. It goes into a state where it is more easily triggered,” explains Niki Gratrix. “The autonomic nervous systems get upregulated at the cost of this parasympathetic side of the nervous system. And the parasympathetic side is the rest, digest, detoxify, feed and breathe side.”  She adds, “When somebody is in stress, what’s going on in the brain will translate into the gut. Stress changes the bacteria in the gut and leads to intestinal issues. When we have stress and trauma in childhood, we often lose our boundaries because the immune system is mirroring your emotional place.” Niki Gratrix also mentions that there is a research about the cell danger response. It shows that the mitochondria also had a defense job. They are part of the immune system, and if they sense stress and threat, they will just shut down energy production. People who wrote the paper even said that early life stress could trigger it. Practical Solution Niki Gratrix assures everyone that for every problem, there is a solution. Mostly, the goal is not to lose hope. If you want to have optimal energy and optimal health, make sure you are healing and not in a chronic stress state. If you already had a nervous system reset from childhood or living a life of high stress, all of it is directly preventing optimum health. But if you want to stay in a healthy state of mind and energy, you can take steps to trigger a possible healing state. Niki Gratrix explains that the techniques to get into that healing state varies from person to person. Just talking to somebody can be a stress release. Journaling also helps. There are also biochemical interventions you can do. “Eating a diet for balancing blood sugar can eradicate half the anxiety problems. And eating enough protein, cutting out starch, carbs and overly sweet things can rebalance the nervous system,” advises Niki Gratrix. She also strongly advises going to bed at 9:30 pm. According to Niki Gratrix, it changed the life of so many of her clients. Like many experts I have interviewed, Niki Gratrix is also against using gadgets and wi-fi devices before going to sleep. She recommends blue light blocker glasses to aid you in going into a destimulating state. Apart from getting enough sleep, Niki Gratrix also encourages people to learn deep breathing exercises, yoga, and exercise.  Having positive social relations and affirmation also helps. Other helpful solutions are laughing, journaling, singing, meditation, cold showers, eating green leafy vegetables. You can also learn emotional freedom techniques, enjoy nature, do water therapy, Tai chi, and use essential oils. “The higher the emotional state you’re in, the higher the heart rate. Set your intentions how you want to feel for the rest of the day,” said Niki Gratrix. “Have a positive visualization. Because a lot of people don’t take action needed. They don’t commit, so they don’t get better.”  Bio Niki Gratrix is an award-winning nutritional therapist, bioenergetic and psychology practitioner, helping people to optimize energy and overcome emotional stress and trauma. In 2005 she co-founded one of the largest mind-body clinics in integrative medicine in the UK with patients in 35 countries where she worked as Director of Nutrition until 2010. The clinic specialized in treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME.  The results with patients at the clinic on the nutrition protocol she designed were later published as a preliminary study in 2012 in the British Medical Journal Open. In August 2015, she hosted the largest ever free online health summit on overcoming fatigue interviewing 29 world leading experts on optimizing energy with over 30,000 attendees.  Niki Gratrix has spoken on over 25 online health summits and been the keynote speaker at live conferences internationally. She writes regularly for a range of health magazines in both the UK and the US.
