The Motivation: End my Migraines! The idea for the award-winning CD, Seasons of the Soul, came from my own healing experience. I had struggled for years with all sorts of mysterious illnesses. None of my symptoms added up to a specific diagnosis, and so none of the treatments I tried worked completely. When the mystery illness evolved into a migraine that wouldn't stop, I became a gentle warrior for my own health. I worked with a talented acupuncturist on Hawai'i Island, and when I became too sensitive for needles, she taught me how to adjust my energy, and reduce the headaches, by what foods I ate. Connecting Food to SeasonsI ate what she recommended, and then gradually wanted to know why she was recommending these foods to me. She pointed me to a wonderful book called, Healing With Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford. It is a tome and dominates the cookbook shelf in the kitchen. Moving into Alignment with the SeasonsSince I had already experienced good results treating the still mysterious headache with other aspects of Chinese medicine, I decided it would be an interesting experiment to try on the other seasons with a Chinese flavor to them. Spring is the new beginning, the time of year to rise early with the Sun. Plants push upwards after winter's slumber. Any residual dissatisfaction, impatience and anger disappear at the sight of the green shoots of newness.Support the showCymber Lily Quinn is an award-winning professional harpist and sound healer, who has been featured on National Public Radio and Hawaii Public Radio.

She pointed me to a wonderful book called, Healing With Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford. It is a tome and dominates the cookbook shelf in the kitchen. As I began eating in order to stop the headaches, I began to notice that the foods that my acupuncturist was suggesting were following the seasons. My body actually wanted to eat what was in season. Eating foods that were out of season or shipped from somewhere else were contributing to my headaches.I continued to eat, following my body and following the seasons. I began to notice other patterns that followed the seasons, too. Different emotions or parts of myself seemed to step forward at certain times of year, and they seemed to be in a regular cycle. I began to regain my health when I allowed my body to follow the seasons. Enter the HarpWhen I got to the point where I was trying Reiki to treat the migraines, my Reiki master suggested that I connect with something in my childhood that was happy. I remembered a dream of playing the harp and gave it a try. I loved it. And when I discovered that it was possible to connect certain keys and styles of harp playing with various emotions, this was about the same time I was making the connection between the seasons, food, and my emotional and physical health. Research and ExperimentationI started improvising around the idea of creating musical seasons according to ancient traditional Chinese thinking. This idea excited me tremendously. And isn't this what composers are doing anyway? Translating their vision of the emotional and energetic world into sound and music? I felt right at home. As I learned the harp, I began studies with the International Harp Therapy Program in San Diego. It was through this program that I learned how to play the modes and how I learned to improvise on the harp. I am thankful to Susan Zevenbergen, my first teacher, and to Christina Tourin, who is the founder and director of IHTP. I worked with the modes while I was reading about Healing with Whole Foods. I discovered that I had a different musical landscape than what I found while researching Paul Pitchford. ~~~~~~~~~~Early SummerJune 21-Aug. 1 FireHeartExpansion, growth, lightness and outward activity.

Western science, traditional Chinese medicine, and Indian ayurveda all say, take care of your kidneys and adrenals, and you'll take care of pure vitality manifesting in part as your sexual energy. ~  That's one of the teachings of a textbook that somehow hit the bestseller lists, Healing with Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford. ~ This episode is a mix of those ideas with Taoist, tantric, and other teachings about how to grow, circulate, and share sexual energy. It also talks about what can happen when you live and have sex in a way that wastes the gift you have of life and pleasure. ~ Comments on this show and suggestions for future episodes?

Today we celebrate the grand finale of Women’s History Month with our magnificent guest Beatrix Ost.  Beatrix is an artist, writer, fashion designer, ambassador of peace, philosopher, mother, grandmother and a true conduit of light and wisdom for all women. Originally from Germany, Beatrix has courageously followed her intuition and artistic explorations throughout her colorful life,  which has landed her in the United States - where she now splits her time between her farm  in Charlottesville, VA and New York City.  We discuss food of all forms:  for the mind, body, and soul and how tuning into ourselves and our energy, embracing imperfections and distractions, the immeasurable power of the feminine,  Beatrix’s current body of work and artistic practice and how sitting in stillness and silence can be the most nourishing of all.  She leaves us with many morsels of wisdom that inspire immediate growth.  This conversation truly embodies the vision and essence of SOUNDFOOD and we are honored to have Beatrix join us at the table.    Mentioned In This Episode:    Nitsa’s Food Bible: Healing with Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford   Books Beatrix is Reading: A Heart So White by Javier Marias A Sport and a Pastime by James Salter   Where to find Beatrix Ost: BeatrixOst.Com Beatrix on Instagram Beatrix’s Virtual Film Screening (March 26) tickets by Museum Torosiete Live Q+A on April 1 with Beatrix about her film and practice by Museum Torosiete    TUNE INTO SOUNDFOOD: WEBSITE  INSTAGRAM   TEXT US ON OUR TELEPORTAL   for high vibrational updates on all things SOUNDFOOD @ 1-805-398-6661    MERCURIAL MAIL  Subscribe to our newsletter HERE.   If you haven’t already > join our GIVEAWAY!   Connect with our Host: @nitsacitrine Lastly, we would be so grateful if you felt inspired to leave us a review on APPLE PODCAST!

The world's most longstanding and populous health traditions recognize that we are born with a certain nature, partly inherited from our ancestors and culture and partly a unique and spontaneous invention, and from there we are influenced by the environments and people we hang out with, including the food we eat and the experiences we choose or encounter. ~  Whether in the Indian Ayurvedic system of water, fire, and air constitutions or the Traditional Chinese Medicine five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, humans are part of a continuous field of energy and matter with all of nature. The better we get to know our ourselves and make good choices, the more fully we achieve our potential for happiness and to make the world a better place. ~  Spiritual sexuality teacher David Deida takes this so far as to say, pay close attention to how you feel with someone energetically when choosing a partner. There may be times we need someone to be like us and reinforce our nature, meanwhile for sexual vitality and teamwork difference may be not only interesting but necessary. A person can have it all, we may need one more than the other, and of course we don't have to get everything from one relationship. ~  A half-million-copy-selling resource on how to think in traditional Indian and Chinese medicine terms and find your own answers is Paul Pitchford's Healing With Whole Foods. ~  Comments on this podcast and suggestions for future episodes?

Anthony “Prem” Carlisi and Heather “Radha” Carlisi came together as a teaching team in Sri Lanka in 2007.  Soon afterwards they taught through Northern Europe and realized that together their combined energies created an even more powerful synergy. Prem had begun writing his book “The Only Way Out is In” in 2006, and with Radha’s help he completed the project in 2007. In 2008, they decided to explore Bali and quickly discovered that Ubud was their new OM away from home. The Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute was born in Ubud in 2009. Prem and Radha both had the good fortune to study with Guruji personally for many years. They maintain the traditional system as taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, their beloved Guruji who passed away in May 2009. Prem began learning from Guruji back in 1978. Radha’s Ashtanga journey began by studying with Chuck Miller in 1990 followed by her first trip to Mysore in 1995. They bring to their teaching the individualization that Krishnamacharya taught and passed to Guruji. Working in a personable way, they make the needs of each individual student a priority. Prem is considered a “Doctor of Ayurveda” from his teacher Dr.Vasant Lad and has maintained a deep connection to the practice of Ayurveda as a lifestyle. Radha also has a deep interest in Ayurveda, particularly in the area of food and nutrition. She has studied with Maya Tiwari and Amadea Morningstar and she credits Paul Pitchford , the author of Healing with Whole Foods, as being a big inspiration. She shares her love of Ayurvedic cooking on a regular basis with cooking classes and as nutritional guidance in consultations. You can find them on their website at www.ashtangayogabali.com

¿Recuerda, que hemos entrado en la estación del invierno, a partir del 20 de Diciembre pasado? ¿Y estaremos ahí hasta el 20 de Marzo de este año? Esta época está regida por el elemento agua y su órgano el Riñón. Es un periodo muy importante para todas aquellas personas, cuyo órgano más sensible es el Riñón. Al igual que personas que sufren de patologías relacionadas especialmente con los huesos y articulaciones. Paul Pitchford, autor de de “Sanando con alimentos integrales”, habla sobre el invierno así: “El invierno es el final de todas las estaciones. Para unificarnos con el invierno, enfatizamos el principio yin para volvernos mas receptivos e introspectivos. Nos orientamos hacia la labor de almacenar y guardar. Se nos enfría la superficie de nuestro cuerpo y se nos calienta el centro. Es una época de descanso, de meditación profunda, de refinamiento de nuestra esencia espiritual y de almacenamiento de nuestra energía física….FIN Te dejo mis enlaces de: Mi web: https://fabiolaortizcarrillo.es/ Mi Blog: https://fabiolaortizcarrillo.es/blog-2/ Recuerda que *** TU PRIMERA CONSULTA ES GRATIS *** https://fabiolaortizcarrillo.es/contact/

During the seventies and early eighties he did dreamwork with Charles Poncé, bioenergetic therapy with Ian Grand, Lomi work with Polly Gamble, and gestalt and movement work with Richard Strozzi Heckler. He also took Breema classes from Manocher Movlai (the nineties) and yoga classes from Patricia Fox (the aughts). More recently he attended “psychic kindergarten” at the Berkeley Psychic Institute (2008-2009) and then continued his psychic studies under Sethian John Friedlander.

If you've learned many different meditation, qigong, breathing, and movement practices over the years, you may be faced with the problem of trying to decide what to practice each day. In this episode of Qigong Radio, I'll show you a framework for thinking about your different modes of practice and show you the single most important goal of an energy arts practice, regardless of the mode or specific techniques. Specifically, we'll look at: Your spectrum of practice. Bill Ryan's helpful rule: your mind moves your chi and your chi moves your body and vice versa. The pros and cons of a sitting breathing practice. How to use light movement to prime chi flows. The benefits of looking for larger practice patterns.
