Ep 156 Description:  "You birth the way you live. This is key." —Anna Lundqvist What if the very thing you've been taught to fear about birth could actually be powerful—even pleasurable? If you've ever wondered why your desires for a calm, connected, or sacred birth feel "too much" or "too radical," you're not alone. In a world where women are told to numb, silence, and surrender their bodies to systems, reclaiming joy in birth isn't just brave—it's revolutionary and rebellious. Anna Lundqvist is a former midwife and the founder of Sacred Birth International, where she mentors birth workers and empowers women through education on physiological, sacred birth. With decades of experience witnessing both clinical and intuitive birth practices, Anna offers grounded, spiritual insight into how women can birth with sovereignty and sensuality. Her global perspective and deep reverence for the feminine make this episode a transformative deep dive into what's possible when we invite pleasure into the birth space. Ready to challenge the narrative and rewrite your own birth story? Hit play to hear how reclaiming pleasure, presence, and power can change everything—from the way you prepare for birth to the way you meet your baby. Expect real talk on orgasmic birth, embodied wisdom, the mind-body connection, and why choosing pleasure is the most rebellious act of all.   Connect with Debra!

(Group Learning Program) - Chapter 10 - What is Merit? and Student DiscussionMerit is an important teaching to understand as it relates to The Path to Enlightenment. Merit is thought of as a unique type of wholesome Kamma. A Practitioner would be unable to attain Enlightenment without understanding "What is Merit?" and without producing merit.In this Podcast, David will help you understand what is merit, why it is beneficial, and how to create merit. There are multiple student questions related to the topic of merit and several others.——-Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The BuddhaDedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's Teachings to attain Enlightenment.https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com(See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)Group Learning Program - LIVE Interactive Online Classes, Book, Audiobook, Videos, Podcast and Personal Guidancehttps://mailchi.mp/f958c59262eb/buddhadailywisdomThe Words of The Buddha - Pali Canon in English Study Grouphttps://mailchi.mp/6bb4fdf2b6e0/palicanonstudyprogramFREE Book - Developing a Life Practice: The Path That Leads to Enlightenmenthttps://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/freebuddhabooksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DailyWisdom999YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyWisdom999Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/buddhadailywisdom/Support our efforts to share The Teachings of Gotama Buddha with you and worldwide for all people using this link.https://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/supportbuddha#buddhism #learnbuddhism #enlightenment #dhamma #dharma #buddha #meditation #meditationretreat #meditationcourse

If you've ever found yourself wondering: “Do I really need another training? Haven't I already learned enough?” — you're not alone. This is one of the most common (and most important) questions that comes up for transformational practitioners. And honestly? Asking it is a good sign — it means you care about discernment, integrity, and not hiding behind “one more certification” instead of actually putting your work into the world. In today's episode, I'm diving into this exact question — and not just in the context of my Sacred Depths Training, but in the bigger picture of how we make aligned choices as practitioners, business owners, and human beings. We'll explore: How to uncover the real motivation behind wanting another training (and how to know if it's expansion or avoidance). The difference between consuming training and investing in training (and why that matters for your growth). The cyclical nature of mastery — how learning, plateauing, and reinvesting are all part of the practitioner's journey. Why lifelong learning can be both a joy and a responsibility to your clients. A simple question that can help you make any big decision with more clarity and self-trust. Whether or not another training is on your horizon, this conversation will give you tools to check in with your motivations, honor your enoughness, and discern your next steps from a place of grounded wisdom. I can't wait to hear what lands for you.

Margaret takes a closer look at the work of the renowned 5th-century monk, Buddhaghosa, and his influential text, the Visuddhimagga, or "Path of Purification." With a focus on two specific types of equanimity—the "six factored equanimity" and equanimity as a Brahmavihara—listeners will gain insight into how these concepts can help us develop mindfulness and clear comprehension in our daily lives. Discover how equanimity can foster a sense of neutrality towards experiences and emotions, allowing us to respond to life's ups and downs without being swayed by bias or aversion. As Margaret highlights the distinctions between the equanimity of the renunciant and that of the householder, she invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences and understandings of balance. The conversation emphasizes that equanimity is not a state of apathy but rather an active engagement with the world that transcends personal biases. By nurturing equanimity alongside the other Brahmavaharas—loving-kindness, compassion, and sympathetic joy—we find ourselves better equipped to face life's adversities with grace and compassion.  

Dr. Rajetha Damisetty explains how the entry of unqualified practitioners and a lack of regulatory oversight is impacting patient safety when it comes to skin and hair procedures being performed in India. The wellness sector is booming in India. Aesthetic, skin and hair clinics are everywhere, social media feeds are filled with advertisements and procedures such as hair transplants, skin lightening, botox and others are becoming increasingly common. In a few cases that have been reported in the news however, some of these treatments have gone horribly wrong – in May this year, two men from Kanpur died after botched hair transplants and another man in Kerala contracted a serious bacterial infection. Experts say that the problem is the lack of regulatory oversight – who is supposed to be able to perform these procedures and who is actually performing them in India? Are clinics where these procedures take place fully licensed and equipped to deal with emergencies? Are misleading claims and exaggerated advertisements contributing to the problem? And what is being done to ensure patient safety?

Planet Buzz's episode unearths '"ECLIPSE SEASON Unleashes Change" telling the resetting dynamics of the Pisces Lunar and the Virgo Solar Eclipses.Join us next Sunday to discuss the powerful lunar and solar eclipses. The Pisces Total Eclipse event, visible to 85% of the world outside of the Americas, holds a multitude of dynamic celestial patterns and is already creating a strong emotional pull. The eclipse will last for an hour and 22 minutes, and it's a perfect time for release. This particular lunar eclipse is at the North Pisces Node, a placement that encourages us to release what blocks compassion and to adopt a more spiritual view of our lives and the planet. As the Earth's shadow obscures the Moon from the Sun's light, we have a unique opportunity to reset our emotional attachments and direction. The Virgo partial Solar Eclipse will be visible from the South Pacific including New Zealand and parts of Antarctica. But here, 85% of the sun will be hidden behind the moon. At 29° Virgo, it adds to the paradox of energies of a Solar eclipse at the releasing South Node, besides the energetic degree one degree from the Vernal Equinox resetting new balances. However, this strongly powerful celestial event involves interweaving patterns of adjustments resolved over time. No matter, it initiates a map ahead for the next year to build on actions now.Talk Cosmos Planet Buzz connects with a myriad of new or returning Special Guests from around the USA and parts of the world contemplating potent subjects concerning us all.LOUISE EDINGTON: The Cosmic Owl wisdom keeper, Astrologer, Consultant, Teacher, Author, Blog Writer, Organizes Workshop Classes.

(Group Learning Program) - Guided Loving-kindness Meditation and Student QuestionsLoving-kindness Meditation was the second most primary form of meditation employed by The Buddha to attain Enlightenment.

So far, we've explored why you can't possibly implement every user experience yourself and how to scale your influence through services, resources, and standards. Those are essential, but they won't solve the whole problem.Here's the sticking point: your colleagues aren't UX practitioners. And if we're honest, most of them don't particularly want to be. They see UX as your job, not theirs. Left unchecked, that dynamic leaves you as the bottleneck every time.To truly scale UX, we need to turn colleagues into active participants in the design process. That's about more than handing them a playbook, it's about shifting how they see their role.Three Shifts That Make Colleagues UX PractitionersBefore we look at the practicalities, let's break down the three changes that will set you up for success.Transforming Your TeamRight now, your team is probably treated like a service desk. Others delegate UX work your way with the expectation you'll simply execute their requests. As long as that dynamic continues, they've got zero motivation to develop UX skills themselves.To change things, you need to step back. Redefine your role so you're less about implementation and more about enabling. That might mean saying “no” to certain requests or redirecting colleagues to resources rather than solving problems yourself. At first, that feels uncomfortable. But without this step, nothing else sticks.Democratizing Ownership of UXThis is a hard one for perfectionists. If you want others to take responsibility, you have to let go of complete control. That means colleagues will sometimes make decisions differently than you would. They'll cut corners. They'll miss nuances.But that's okay. Progress beats perfection. Your job becomes ensuring they have guardrails (principles, standards, and lightweight processes) so their work lands in the right ballpark. Over time, consistency will improve, but only if people feel ownership from the start.EducationFinally, there's the piece I teased earlier when I outlined your role: education. Colleagues won't suddenly know how to run a usability test or sketch a wireframe. They need skills and, just as importantly, confidence.This is where workshops, training sessions, lunch-and-learns, and simple how-to guides come in. The goal isn't to turn everyone into full-time UX designers. It's to equip them with just enough knowledge to make user-centered choices in their everyday work.Outie's AsideIf you're a freelancer or agency owner, this dynamic plays out with clients too. They'll happily leave all UX thinking to you unless you actively invite them in. That might mean coaching a client through a design sprint instead of running it solo, or providing them with a template to test their own ideas. It's not about doing less work; it's about shaping the relationship so clients share ownership. That shift is what transforms you from a vendor into a trusted partner.Where We Go NextOver the next several lessons, we'll be exploring all three areas we just discussed:Transforming your teamDemocratizing ownership of UXEducationIn the next lesson, we'll start with the most important piece: transforming your own team. Because if you don't change how you work, nobody else will change either.Talk soon,Paul

On this episode of Good Day Health, host Doug Stephan and NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner Dr. Jack Stockwell (866-867-5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com) take a holistic look at the week's biggest health stories.They discuss:

Feeling buried in admin when all you want is to focus on your patients?You're not alone. The naturopathic profession has long struggled with burnout as practitioners juggle clinical work, business management, marketing, and ongoing education—often single-handedly.In this groundbreaking conversation, Amy Skilton and business mentor Tammy Guest explore how artificial intelligence is creating unprecedented opportunities for naturopaths to reclaim their time, amplify their unique gifts, and ultimately become more human in their practice. Beyond the fear-based headlines, AI offers practical solutions to longstanding challenges in our profession.Discover how practitioners are using AI to transcribe and summarise consultations, freeing them to be fully present with patients. Learn how research that once took hours can now be completed in minutes, with practitioners maintaining discernment while AI handles the heavy lifting.

For many lawyers, being a practitioner can become the dominant part of one's identity. Here, Christina Yi reflects on how a girls' trip helped remind her to do the things that bring joy and fulfillment, so that one can ultimately better be of service to clients. In this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Allegra Family Lawyers legal practitioner director Christina Yi about the “urgency” involved with family law and the flow-on impacts for lawyers in this space, how being a lawyer can shape how others perceive you, how lawyering can become part of your identity, and what this means for one, both personally and professionally. Yi also discusses a recent holiday she took to revitalise and relax, the positive impact the trip had on her, why she'll be making more time for future getaways, the warning signs lawyers should look out for when it comes to having lawyering become too big a part of one's identity, and what excites her about the new parameters she's set up for herself as a practitioner.

About Michael and Jennifer Petracci:Dr. Michael Petracci, DC, and Jennifer Petracci, co-owners of Foundations Chiropractic, turned their daughter's neurological challenges into a mission of neurologically focused chiropractic care. A 2013 University of Western States graduate, Dr. Mike specializes in pediatric and prenatal care with multiple certifications, including Pediatric and Family Chiropractic and Activator Methods. As a PX Certified Pro Doc, he uses INSiGHT Scanning to help kids with ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, and Sensory Processing Disorder.Jennifer, formerly an artist, became COO after their daughter's “perfect storm” inspired her to champion this approach. She leads operations and education, helping families discover its impact. Together, they serve their community with neurologically focused care, creating a foundation for health and wellness that starts with the nervous system. In this episode, Dean Newlund, Michael, and Jennifer Petracci discuss:Starting and running a family business inspired by personal experienceEducating and building trust with families about neurologically focused chiropractic careOvercoming skepticism and the challenge of parental commitmentBalancing emotional investment with the need to let go when families aren't readyStaying motivated and resilient by focusing on positive outcomes and “expecting miracles” Key Takeaways:Families seeking neurologically focused chiropractic care must commit to structured care plans with frequent visits, because only repetition and consistency allow the nervous system to rewire and regulate effectively.Educating families about chiropractic's neurological benefits demands patience and clear communication, since many initially dismiss it as unnecessary or “snake oil” until they personally see results in their children.Practitioners need to balance their desire to help every child with the reality that some parents will not commit, which means learning to let go without guilt while focusing on those ready to embrace the process.Viewing each child's transformation as a potential miracle keeps both parents and practitioners motivated, reframing frustration into gratitude and fueling the perseverance needed to sustain long-term impact. "One of the most important parts of taking care of somebody, from a neurologic perspective, is care planning, and making sure that the care plan is right… It takes repetition in neurology.” — Michael Petracci "A lot of what I see helps this to work is a trust in the other person.” — Jennifer Petracci Connect with Michael and Jennifer Petracci:  Website: http://www.foundationschiropracticllc.com/Email: foundationswellness@yahoo.comLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/DrMikePetracci-FoundationsChiropracticllcFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/foundations.chiropractic.llcInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/foundationschiropracticllc/   See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

A walking the land episode with Sarah Hellebek, deputy head at Krogerup Højskole, who spent years at the heart of Denmark's climate activist movement. By most measures, she was successful, climate made it onto the political agenda, though never strongly enough. But the fight came with a cost: it also made her pretty depressed, she was- in her own words- mostly shouting in front of the Parliament. Until a tour visiting progressive Danish farmers exposed her to the world of regeneration and she dove right into it. After spending a lot of time on different farms she noticed the need to train the next generation, as the current ag school system in Denmark (and everywhere else for that matter) doesn't prepare you to run farms and embrace complexity. So she started her own school, outside the free super subsidied Danish school system.We talk about why the next generation of farmers has to be trained by practitioners not teachers and why your holistic context is so important and pretty scary to dive into that in week 1 of your education. She felt she had to get some dirt under her nails and set up a market garden which hosts a lot of activities. We end with a deep dive into our role as positive key stone species.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

Most burnout for healers doesn't come from “doing too much.” It comes from a subtle form of self-abandonment. In this episode, I share the #1 shift that prevents burnout for healers: energetic sovereignty. If you've ever felt drained after sessions, caught in cycles of overgiving, or struggled to hold strong energy boundaries as an intuitive healer, this transmission is for you. What you'll discover in this episode: The real cause of healer burnout (hint: it's not overwork)  What energetic sovereignty actually looks like in practice → beyond the buzzword The hidden ways self-abandonment shows up in your sessions → and how to spot it How meeting others “sovereign to sovereign” unlocks deeper transformation  Simple but radical practices that restore your energy  Why sovereignty amplifies your intuitive channel

This talk was given by Andrea Fella on 2025.08.30 at the Sati Center in Redwood City, CA. ******* At the time of the Buddha, someone is said to come to the Buddha and asked “[Why] though beings wish to be free of enmity, violence, hostility, and hate, they still have enmity, violence, hostility, and hate?” (Digha Nikaya 21.2.1) We are still asking that question. Conflict seems to be deeply embedded in being human, and is quite pronounced right now. Practitioners now often ask the same question that was asked of the Buddha, and the teachings that were offered then are quite relevant now. During this two part class, we will explore some of the Buddhist teachings that can help us to understand conflict and how to navigate it more skillfully. The first week we will explore the Buddhist understanding of how conflict arises. The second week we will consider some of the teachings about working with conflict and the path to non-conflict. ******* Video of this talk is available at: https://youtu.be/6vloI3BiTkE. ******* For more talks like this, visit AudioDharma.org ******* If you have enjoyed this talk, please consider supporting AudioDharma with a donation at https://www.audiodharma.org/donate/. ******* This talk is licensed by a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 4.0 License

(Group Learning Program) - Guided Breathing Mindfulness Meditation and Student QuestionsBreathing Mindfulness Meditation was the primary form of meditation employed by The Buddha to attain Enlightenment. There are many aspects of The Path to Enlightenment that one would need to learn and practice with guidance from a Teacher, however, Breathing Mindfulness Meditation should be among the top priorities for any Practitioner aspiring to attain Enlightenment.The goal of Breathing Mindfulness Meditation is to develop “Right Mindfulness”, “Right Concentration”, and to eliminate the unwholesome root of craving/desire/attachment.All discontentedness is caused by craving/desire/attachment so it is important to train the mind to not have craving/desire/attachment as part of "Developing Your Life Practice”.In this Podcast, David will guide you in a Breathing Mindfulness Meditation session and will accept questions from Students to help you develop your meditation practice and progress forward on The Path to Enlightenment.——-Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The BuddhaDedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's Teachings to attain Enlightenment.https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com(See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)Group Learning Program - LIVE Interactive Online Classes, Book, Audiobook, Videos, Podcast and Personal Guidancehttps://bit.ly/GroupLearningProgram|The Words of The Buddha - Pali Canon in English Study Grouphttps://bit.ly/PaliCanonStudyGroupFREE Book - Developing a Life Practice: The Path That Leads to Enlightenmenthttps://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/freebuddhabooksFacebook: https://bit.ly/DailyWisdom-FacebookYouTube: https://bit.ly/DailyWisdom-YoutubePodcast: https://bit.ly/DailyWisdom-PodcastSupport our efforts to share The Teachings of Gotama Buddha with you and worldwide for all people using this link.https://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/supportbuddha#buddhism #learnbuddhism #buddhismclass #buddhismcourse #enlightenment #awakening #dhamma #dharma #buddha #meditation #meditationretreat #meditationcourse #meditationclass

This talk was given by Andrea Fella on 2025.08.23 at the Sati Center in Redwood City, CA. ******* At the time of the Buddha, someone is said to come to the Buddha and asked “[Why] though beings wish to be free of enmity, violence, hostility, and hate, they still have enmity, violence, hostility, and hate?” (Digha Nikaya 21.2.1) We are still asking that question. Conflict seems to be deeply embedded in being human, and is quite pronounced right now. Practitioners now often ask the same question that was asked of the Buddha, and the teachings that were offered then are quite relevant now. During this two part class, we will explore some of the Buddhist teachings that can help us to understand conflict and how to navigate it more skillfully. The first week we will explore the Buddhist understanding of how conflict arises. The second week we will consider some of the teachings about working with conflict and the path to non-conflict. ******* Video of this talk is available at: https://youtu.be/0C65-9EzdIg. ******* For more talks like this, visit AudioDharma.org ******* If you have enjoyed this talk, please consider supporting AudioDharma with a donation at https://www.audiodharma.org/donate/. ******* This talk is licensed by a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 4.0 License

Finalist, Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion, Constructive-Reflective Studies, given by the American Academy of ReligionExplores how Black Buddhist Teachers and Practitioners interpret Western Buddhism in unique spiritual and communal waysIn Black Buddhists and the Black Radical Tradition: The Practice of Stillness in the Movement for Liberation (NYU Press, 2022), Rima Vesely-Flad examines the distinctive features of Black-identifying Buddhist practitioners, arguing that Black Buddhists interpret Buddhist teachings in ways that are congruent with Black radical thought. Indeed, the volume makes the case that given their experiences with racism—both in the larger society and also within largely white-oriented Buddhist organizations—Black cultural frameworks are necessary for illuminating the Buddha's wisdom.Drawing on interviews with forty Black Buddhist teachers and practitioners, Vesely-Flad argues that Buddhist teachings, through their focus on healing intergenerational trauma, provide a vitally important foundation for achieving Black liberation. She shows that Buddhist teachings as practiced by Black Americans emphasize different aspects of the religion than do those in white convert Buddhist communities, focusing more on devotional practices to ancestors and community uplift.The book includes discussions of the Black Power movement, the Black feminist movement, and the Black prophetic tradition. It also offers a nuanced discussion of how the Black body, which has historically been reviled, is claimed as a vehicle for liberation. In so doing, the book explores how the experiences of non-binary, gender non-conforming, and transgender practitioners of African descent are validated within the tradition. The book also uplifts the voices of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer Black Buddhists. This unique volume shows the importance of Black Buddhist teachers' insights into Buddhist wisdom, and how they align Buddhism with Black radical teachings, helping to pull Buddhism away from dominant white cultural norms.

What do you think of when you hear “topical herbs”? Chances are, you think about putting herbs on your skin, perhaps in the form of creams, salves, or poultices.  But this is only one type of topical application.  In herbal medicine, topical use is much broader than applying medicine to the skin (though this is also a critical treatment). Any time an herb comes into direct contact with the tissue it's meant to treat—whether the skin, or the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract or digestive tract—it is acting topically. Here's what you'll learn in this post: The broader definition of topical application, beyond application to the skin How herbs act topically in the respiratory tract, digestive system, female reproductive system, and on the skin Key herbal actions like vulnerary, antimicrobial, demulcent, and more for topical use Preparations for topical use, such as poultices, infused oils, liniments, and medicated neti pots Recommended herbs for each organ system and their unique roles in healing Important cautions and considerations for using topical herbal remedies safely   ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at:  http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com   Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ   Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/   Shop our herbal products:  https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

This is only achieved through understanding and working with the chemical, energetic, and spiritual properties of the plants. His teachings embody a heartfelt respect, honor and reverence for the vast intelligence of plants in a way that empowers us to look deeper into the nature of our medicines and ourselves.
