Today on Sense of Soul we have Jamie Lee Silver she is an Accredited Certified EFT Practitioner, EFT Specialty Areas: Grief and Loss, Relationships, Financial Abundance Other Training: Certified Energy Healer. She does Past, Present, Future Matrix Reimprinting, is a Skilled Intuitive and is a Certified Stone Medicine Practitioner. Jamie loved being a mother to her young boys. Best time ever. Her boys were both star track runners and people with huge hearts. Aaron is an Physician in Portland Oregon. Jamie is proud of Aaron's accomplishments, and even more proud of who he is as a person. His favorite days as a physician are the days he can spend more time with each of his patients.  Aaron and Jamie have gone through a rough road together. In 2013, Jamie's younger son Ben (and Aaron's best friend) hit a roadblock he could not get over. Ben was a singer, songwriter and poet. He had chosen a university where he received  a full scholarship for running. And, he had an injury that prevented him from running. He suffered greatly. And that suffering took its toll.  In 2014 Ben began showing signs of late-onset schizophrenia. It was a frightening and confusing time where he had frequent catatonic episodes and bursts of anger. The suicide attempts began soon after and in 2015 Ben's schizophrenia took its toll when Ben ended his earthly life, and Ben and Jamie's relationship transitioned to a non-physical one.  Jamie turned to hwe spiritual practices and began a written conversation with Ben. Their first year of correspondence is published in Jamie and Ben's book "Our Forever Ben, one mon's letters to her son-in-spirit and his poetic replies." Jamie's writing was a great source of comfort to her.  Jamie's other source of comfort through her grieving process was her growing practice of EFT tapping.  Because EFT helped her so much, she decided to become skilled and certified by choosing the best mentors in the field, Alina Frank and Craig Weiner. She earned her certification in EFT in 2019 through EFT International.   Jamie's been a mentor and a teacher her entire life. In 2021 Jamie earned her certificate in Grief and Death Studies from the Center for Life Transitions in Fort Collins, Colorado, honing her skills as a grief companion.  Jamie's sessions have immediate impact. Working with Jamie for just one session is life changing. She works worldwide via Zoom and in person in St. Pete, Florida.  Is is time for you to free yourself from sadness, grief, loneliness, and/or hopelessness?  Set up a free consultation with Jamie today by emailing her at tapforhappiness@gmail.com or texting her at 630-926-3001   Visit Sense of Soul website and check out 2025 new affiliates look for the Network of Lightworkers! www.senseofsoulpodcast.com

Welcome to America's largest clay focused art show. It happens every year in Portland Oregon. And thousands of people show up to check it out and buy pots. I got to be there as an "Artist's Assistant" to Jennifer Blais and Jessica Joner in booth 60. And it was awesome! I also got to walk around and talk to other participants of the show. Amazing people like emerging artists, first year participants, international artists, the chair of the organization, and more. This was my trip to Ceramic Showcase... Oh, and did I say that the event is put on by the Oregon Potters Association? https://ThePottersCast.com/1127

The environmental recording for Forest Park Rain suite was recorded about a year ago on the quiet northern side of Forest Park, here in Portland Oregon. It was a rainy day interspersed with sun breaks. Many migratory birds had buy then taken up residence here. Among them, Black-headed Grosbeak, Wilson's Warbler, Black-throated Gray Warbler, and Hammond's Flycatcher. Deer can also be heard moving among downed branches. I love the acoustics of the forest slope where this was captured. I love the soft rain sounds. Like all Listening Spot compositions, this one leans into atmospherics and emphasizes melody. Loping, synthesizer phrases are layered with vibrato synth pads and various soft, shimmering sounds. I've spoken a little bit about Forest Park in the past, but I've spent some time reacquainting myself with its trails over the last month. In particular, the 30-mile-long Wildwood trail that traverses the park from north to south. In the Spring of 1999 I hiked the entire trail (slightly shorter, then) in one day. A quarter century later I had the urge to complete it again, but not all at once, I'll be sharing the fruits of that soon! Til then, thanks again for your interest; for reading and listening along. I'm grateful for you. Forest Park Rain Suite is available under the artist name Listening Spot on all streaming platforms Friday, April 11th. Forest Park Rain Suite II will land next Friday, April 18th. This is a public episode.

Here's to in-person connections! Most people don't know that up until just a few weeks ago Thomas and Panu had never met in person. They had connected over long distance and constructed their podcast dialogue over the last few years solely through electronic means. So, it is very special to us that this episode was recorded over Thomas's living room table in Portland Oregon while Panu was visiting during his tour of the United States. So, join us as the pair discuss their podcast relationship, current events, and what Panu has been seeing and learning during his visit to Charlottesville, Virginia and across Northern California, and his hikes in the redwoods. This episode goes well with our recent theme of eco-friends, and we hope it encourages you to re-connect — in person — with someone you care about and who also shares your care for people and planet.

a report from 1970 Portland Oregon talks about how one experiencer walked right up to some reptilian Men in Black and had an experience of transmogrification and much much more!!

Pink Martini is celebrating 30 years of global music, and for the band’s pearl anniversary, China Forbes and Timothy Nishimoto dish on oysters (get it?!), the group’s unusual origin story and Thanksgiving dinner. It may be March, but thanks to lead vocalist China Forbes’ last meal, we’re talking turkey! China is very particular about which seven dishes should appear on her Thanksgiving table, so host Rachel Belle consults with a food historian about what was eaten at the very first harvest feast. Pink Martini is a Portland, Oregon-based band, but they sing in 30 languages and have played with more than 70 orchestras in the world’s best concert halls – which means they have eaten their way around the world! Timothy reveals his last meal, a spectacular feast eaten on one of those tours abroad. Sign up for Rachel's new (free!) Cascade PBS newsletter for more food musings, coming April 2025!

Interview with: James Cook of Captain's Audio Project   New release by Portland Oregon songwriter James Cook. This collection of finely crafted tracks is titled “Waiting For The Moon”, and will be available on vinyl, CD, and digitally online. Release date is February 21st, 2025. The original concept for the recording was to be basic and raw, recorded live with tenor guitar and vocals. With decades of experience playing vintage jazz and swing on the upright bass, James' sense of timing made it all to easy to embellish and round out the recording with other great musicians. First, James added the warm and sultry anchor notes on his 100 year old upright bass. James's Info: trashcan.joe.5

Full episode now on our Patreon. Born in Portland Oregon and raised in Oklahoma City, Nuge is an icon in skateboarding who made a name for himself with classic parts in videos like Foundation's Cataclysmic Abyss. Born to Vietnamese parents who came to America for a new life, Nuge's childhood was largely spent coming up in Vietnamese pool halls. Eventually relocating to California to pursue skating, his early days saw him living in a legendary skate-house on Melrose dubbed “Hellrose”, an apartment that housed Nuge and 5 of his friends.

After migrating to Oregon in 96', it became obvious he landed on a much bigger island than he grew up on, with more forests, wildlife, and people. It was here Dylan found his calling to share his love of nature with everyone through Arboriculture.  He worked with a local tree company as a "branch manager", and literally learned the ropes of aerial access in trees.  10 years went by, worked with several premium tree care providers, career volunteer with multiple green industry nonprofits, and became a municipal Arborist with the City of Portland.  It was in this role he utilized all his career experiences to reach an entire city of tree-centric communities!  Dylan spent years volunteering with the PNW-ISA regional chapter as a judge for the regional climbing competitions, as the Editor of the Chapter publication, speaker and presenter at multiple Annual conferences, and co-founder of the PNW Tree Failure Database with Chris Rippey and Jonathan Pywell. Dylan has now been in the industry for over 20 years, and still sharing the ALOHA he was gifted long ago.  He enjoys spending time with his son Ronin and daughter Hana, and teaching them the same connection with our planet.  _______________________________________________________________________Patreon: http://patreon.com/TheMunicipalArboristInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_municipal_arborist/Questions or comments?themunicipalarborist@gmail.comThank you to our sponsors:Davey Resource GroupArbsessionWinkler Tree & Lawn Care

*** This episode talks about suicide. If you are suicidal, please call/text/chat *988 *** My friend Kyle Dunshee (age 30, married father with new baby, suicide survivor) joins us to share his journey with mental health. Kyle starts with his journey with severe OCD/anxiety which led to a suicide attempt at age 10. Kyle talks about his great parents getting him help—including being institutionalized (helpful experience). Kyle also talks about self-harm and gives insights on why people engage in this behavior and how it is able to put this behind him. Kyle talks a Book of Mormon scripture story that gave him hope and his decision to serve a mission—but the painful/angry experience when he was denied this opportunity. Kyle talks about his pain, anger at the institutional Church, and the deeply spiritual experience in an empty movie theatre watching an R rated movie—a powerful experience where he felt the love of God and a desire to become more active in the Church. Kyle talks about why he decided to resubmit his mission papers and his call to serve in Portland Oregon. Kyle talks about how his mental health is on ongoing part of his life—and why it is (at times) a beautiful struggle. Kyle's story is in his new book called “At the Bottom of Bountiful” (see show notes). I was so impressed with Kyle's courage and vulnerability to share his story. It is a powerful story that helps others walking a similar road with mental health issues and those with difficult church experiences who want to stay in the church. I encourage everyone to listen to Kyle's podcast and read his book so we have more insights to help ourselves and our friends/family working with mental health issues. You are a good man, Kyle. Honored to have you on the podcast.

HOUR ONE: An eerie tombstone stands watch over one of Portland Oregon's oldest cemeteries. And the story behind that tombstone is a strange one. (The Guardians of Lone Fir Cemetery) *** Don't take a gift from Little Gracie's grave... or her life-like statue might cry tears of blood. (The Ghost of Gracie Watson) *** When it came to her daughter's Elsa doll, one mom was eager and ready to “Let It Go”. But the doll supernaturally refused to be let go! (Haunted Elsa Doll) *** An ancient stone cross is said by locals to be cursed, and the curse infects anyone who dares to disrespect it. (Curse of the Saxon Stone Cross) *** Christopher Slaughterford was seemingly a completely ordinary young Englishman – but he has earned an unenviable place in the legal books. (T
he Trials of Christopher Slaughterford) *** Two authors reported a very strange encounter with a mysterious entity they believed was not of this world. What did they see and why were they under the impression this being was not of this world? (An Author's Encounter With A Not-Of-This-World Entity)==========HOUR TWO: A 178-year-old mystery comes to the surface in a Philadelphia suburb. (Grandfather's Ghost Story Leads to Mass Grave) *** Recently a wrecking crew began tearing down and old building in Rhode Island. But the big burly men on the crew got so frightened they refused to continue the work. Does reconstruction of a home or building anger the souls who once lived there? (Does Remodeling Your Home Disturb The Spirits Who Died There?) *** The way life has grown on our planet requires that all living things feed off each other and must kill others in order to survive.  That's the way of the world if you want to live for any more than a few days. But some people are now claiming they can live without food at all… indefinitely. (Life Without Food) *** Three men were in a shed selling gardening supplies when some strange powder suddenly hit the ceiling. Before they had time to react, a small jug on a shelf abruptly flew across the room. One man picked up the jug and placed it a covered box. Instantly, the jug was...somehow...back on the floor. And that was just the beginning of the strange haunting of a community's garden shed. (The Poltergeist In The Allotment Shed) *** In the movie Salt, Angelina Jolie plays a double-agent who is mind-controlled by scary remnants of the USSR secret service. And in real life, the 1940s bombshell Candy Jones was apparently brainwashed with drugs and used as a CIA covert operative.  (The Supermodel Who Was Brainwashed Into Becoming a Spy) *** No one knows exactly when she was born. Some think, maybe, she was a gypsy. Others say she was the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter. The life of Elizabeth Barnes is a mysterious one, filled with many loves, losses, and prognostications. (The Witch of Plum Hollow) *** Some travelers, arriving late at night to board Oliver's Ferry the next day, stayed at Oliver's house. But they were never seen making the ferry crossing the next morning. Is it possible that the rumors are true – that they never left the house alive? (The Frights of Oliver's Ferry)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: For Allen Taylor, January 15, 1919 was just another day on his farm near Prescott, Iowa. That is, until his 15-year-old neighbor Irene Hoskins came stumbling down the lane with a gash in the side of her head.  (The Hoskins Family Murders) *** How did someone get the job of an executioner in medieval times? We'll find out!
