Overstretching, underrepresentation, and pressure from every direction… What's really happening behind the scenes in competitive dance?   John Corella sits down with Sharmila Mitra, a longtime friend and respected voice in the dance world. She's a competitive dance teacher, studio owner, and a Pilates and Gyrotonic instructor who's helped dancers heal, grow, and stay in the game for the long run. She's also the author of “The Power of Intention for Dancers,” and her story is one many in the industry will recognize: pushed hard, stretched beyond her limits, and told her work was “too ethnic” to compete.   John and Sharmila dig into some hard truths: Is a dancer's flexibility more important than their physical safety? How do we stop celebrating movement that could be damaging our joints for life? Sharmila shares how overstretching as a young dancer led to long-term injuries and why she's passionate about giving today's dancers a better way forward.   The two also talk about how Pilates, intention-setting, and proper cross-training can shift the entire experience of competitive dance. Can winning mean more than just a trophy? What if dancers were encouraged to check in with their bodies, not ignore what hurts?   This episode is a must-listen for teachers, parents, and dancers alike, especially anyone who's ever questioned the way things have always been done. You'll walk away with a fresh perspective, a few strong opinions, and maybe a little more compassion for the kid struggling through warm-up.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Meet Sharmila Mitra  04:33 Body Positivity and Representation in Dance 06:29 Challenging Norms: Bollywood, Identity, and Belonging 16:06 The Long-Term Impact of Overstretching in Competitive Dance 23:08 Protecting Dancers' Bodies During Competition Season 27:16 How to Train Without Overstretching 33:33 Setting Intentions in Dance and Competition 40:25 Teaching Dancers to Advocate for Their Bodies 47:04 Integrating Spirituality with Dance Practice 52:15 Healthy Boundaries with Dance Parents 56:00 Knowing Your Worth as a Dance Teacher 01:00:00 When Students Leave: Loss, Growth, and Forgiveness   Links Connect with Sharmila Mitra: Website: https://coreartscenter.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coreartspilates   Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dancedadwithjohncorella/ John on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/john_corella/ Patreon: https://patreon.com/TheonlyDanceDadwithJohnCorella Website: johncorella.net Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Imagine giving birth to a baby girl and noticing pieces of skin missing from her body almost immediately.  For Sharmila Nikapota, this was the case with her firstborn, Sohana. Genetic testing revealed that she was one of the over 500,000 people globally suffering from Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a “constantly painful and debilitating” skin condition where minimal contact can lead to blisters, wounds, tissue damage, eating difficulties, and eye injuries, among other symptoms. After seeking answers for her daughter's prognosis and not getting any, Sharmila started Cure EB to educate people and eventually discover ways to manage this painful condition. With the UK approving a first-of-its-kind topical treatment for EB, she hopes it's the first of many that can give patients like her daughter a better quality of life.Join Sharmila as she discusses how Sohana's experience with EB has shaped her personality, the origin and mission of Cure EB, the challenges of managing Sohana's condition, and what you can do to further Cure EB's ultimate goals.Show Notes Cure EB - Accelerating Research to End Painful SkinBirch Bark Extract: A Review in Epidermis BullosaCharles River | Cell and Gene TherapyCharles River | Rare DiseaseEureka Blog | Living RareKrystal Biotech Touts Topical Gene Therapy Uptake

This week I am very excited to welcome Sharmila Mehta, UK immigration lawyer and Partner at Keystone Law, into the studio to discuss how ‘Partner' can mean different things at different law firms. A self-proclaimed ‘lawyer through and through', Sharmila helped me obtain my British passport several decades ago and has worked in several different large UK law firms throughout her career.  In this episode, Sharmila outlines her fascinating journey into law having moved to the UK from Kenya at the age of 5, growing a curious and fearless attitude towards how the world and the UK in particular works, and working at several different UK firms before becoming a Partner at Keystone law today.This journey introduces a variety of other interesting points on law and life in the UK, including:·        Living in the UK as a dual citizen and the challenges of moving to the UK at a young age;·        Growing up as young woman in school in the UK in the 1960s and 1970s and being taught to be assertive, inquisitive and speak up.·        Taking calculated risks during a career as a lawyer and a mother; ·        What partner means these days vs what it used to mean and whether making partner is becoming a  business of running a law firm and not necessarily being a lawyer'?·        Realising that as a lawyer you're not just part of the wider brand of the firms you work for, you have your own brand that you build throughout your career. And stay tuned to hear about the driving force behind Sharmila's work as an immigration lawyer – how to make the UK better, through the energy, innovation and desire to succeed that migrants have always and continue to bring to this country. 

Western US residents report the most UFO sightings — what are they actually seeing? News By Sharmila Kuthunur  published April 4, 2024 "It's difficult to explain why we have this many more sightings in the West." Those of us in the western U.S. who enjoy vast open spaces may also be more likely to report UFO sightings, a new study suggests. An analysis of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) reports (UAP is a new umbrella term that includes UFOs not just in the sky but also in space and underwater) suggests local environmental factors play a role in the number of UAP sightings reported. The study, based on about 98,000 reports over 20 years as cataloged in an open-source, online dataset maintained by the National UFO Research Center modeled how reported UAP sightings coincide with environmental variables such as light pollution and cloud cover, as well as things like proximity to airports and military installations. The results reveal - Read More

Jeevan Thondaman, a Tamil-origin minister in President Ranil Wickremesinghe's Cabinet, said, quote, "As far as Sri Lanka is concerned, Katchatheevu island falls within the Sri Lankan line of control. Narendra Modi's foreign policy with Sri Lanka is organic and healthy. So far, there has not been an official communication from India to return the powers of Katchatheevu island. No such request from India so far. If there is such a communication, the foreign ministry will reply to that."6 international aid workers with the World Central Kitchen charity and their Palestinian driver were killed in an “apparent” Israeli airstrike today, while they were delivering food to Gaza.

The book touches on the author's background life, the earlier days after encountering God, the journey with God, the special experiences with God, and the reflection of the journey after encountering God for many years. The main point in this book is to reach many people out there that wonder about God and whether there is one true living God that speaks, that leads, and guides, that heals their body and their broken heart and care for their life on earth and their future and life after death.

So what is Reiki anyway, Sharmila? Well, I am so glad you asked because that's what this week's episode is about! I give many examples of how we experience energy in our everyday lives and we apply that to healing.  I also give a  what a Reiki micro-session, so you know what Reiki feels like. It's near the end of the episode.  Hopefully, you will understand Reiki healing and energy healing more and if you would like to experience a session, you can book an appointment: https://www.ojaireiki.com/scheduleyoursession Shownotes: -I started my Reiki journey for my own personal self-healing. -What is Reiki? -A Japanese type of healing either hands-on or done remotely. -Can be done across time, distance;  you don't have to be physically touching someone. -We are all energy beings. -What does this expression mean:  I don't have the energy or I have so much energy right now. -Reiki/energy healing is a meditative state that facilitates healing with intention. -Practitioner channels infinite energy to another person, using their Divine Guides. -In last week's episode, “how to stop absorbing other people's energy” I mentioned that you don't need to fix; or use all of your energy, you can get help from your guides. -Some energy healers have a mentality that they need to fix the person because that's what healing is. -You can't fix this person, you can help alleviate a sense of relief. -Example of feeling drained of energy is child-rearing, so you can prevent physical exhaustion. -Reiki helps clear, ground, relieving some kind of stress in your life. -Does this make sense, if it is or isn't let me know you can leave me a voice message on theconfidenthealer.net website. -There is an energy exchange with this podcast, you are drawn to me because something about me resonates with you. -Reiki, energy healing allows you to work outside the box, you use all of your senses and more even when you are receiving. -Visualize how the energy works, it comes from your infinite source, and imagine the energy coming out of your crown, third eye, and or heart chakra, flowing down and out of your hands. -To help you understand what energy/Reiki is, you can give a texture to the energy to help you connect with it more, maybe it's like water or light. -Another example of energetic interaction to help you understand, is walking into a room and you know whether or not you want to be there,  there is something you are feeling that makes you not want to be there. That's an energy that you do interact with on a daily without realizing it. -That's where you follow your intuition and leave. -Some people have fear about Reiki or energy healing because they don't want someone messing with their energy. -Most healing practitioners aren't nefarious, they are very altruistic and want to help people because it's their calling. -Of course, there are people scamming others, but they are easy to spot if you are discerning enough. -My Reiki experiences after the 1st level were exciting because I felt like King Midas, I felt like I had a golden, healing touch. -Reiki changed my life in so many great ways and brought a deeper healing experience so that I could be more self-reliant. -I would practice before going to work, after waking up, I would practice Reiki on myself. -Reiki can validate you, like if you have psychic abilities that you shut off since you were a kid. -A little history of Reiki, started by a Japanese Buddhist, Mikao Usui. -Downloaded a healing system after meditating for 21 days. -Reiki is different from other energy healing systems because a Reiki Master Teacher initiates or attunes the student to Reiki. -Energy healing teaches you how to connect with energy, using meridians, and visualizations, but there is no attunement process like in the Reiki system. -Either way, they are both effective. -The way I teach, are the traditional Usui Reiki attunements and Reiki hand positions, plus teaching energy healing techniques, and helping you find your own intuitive healing gifts. -Practice is key to growing your healing abilities and growing your intuition. -Practice Reiki, tapping into that universal energy flow -I transmit Reiki through the episode so that you can experience it.

What are your best practices on how to stop absorbing other people's energy?  Or are you trying to figure out that one yourself? This week, I walk you through 8-9 techniques that I use as part of my energy hygiene practices and setting boundaries.  This is really needed if you practice energy/Reiki healing, psychology, or in any healing art (including medical doctors).  This is great for empaths, and Highly Sensitive People (HSP). Implement some of these techniques, and you will feel so much lighter, the heaviness will dissipate and you will feel so much more expansive and comfortable in your own skin. This is a module I have taught in my past Reiki workshops and in my new 9 month Confident Healer Training Certification that starts in May. Shownotes: -We are energy beings, we are emotional beings. -We are all empathic, we all have different levels of how much energy we take from others. -Why it's important to have clean our energy and have boundaries. -This is something Sharmila teaches in her 9 month Confident Healer Training certification which starts in May. -Especially for empathic healers, energy healers, it's very important to establish boundaries and know how to clear your energy, and how to stop absorbing other people's stuff. -Imagine energy like shit, people emanate their shittiness by smearing it on the wall, and you walk in and you see and smell the shit. -That's how our aura works, and that's how it affects us, the stench of their shit affects you. -You can learn how to not absorb someone's energy. -Give the conversation a time limit when you don't want to spend too much time with the person. -Tip #1 ground yourself when you talk to this person. Hang up on them, and then call them back once you ground yourself. -Tip #2 do the 3 layers of protection from Fairy godmother Georgie Weston. -Tip #3: 1st layer of protection is a few inches or many feet in front of you, imagine something hard, like Teflon. -2nd layer of protection.  Make this layer another few inches or feet from the first layer, again, imaging a hard, protective layer, i.e. Teflon. -Imagine these layers like a cylinder around your body, this is your where your aura is. -3rd layer is another few inches or more surrounding the 2nd layer, and you imagine a puffy, pink cloud of unconditional love. -Tip #4 to cleanse your aura rake your area, spread your fingers like a rake, or imagine a rake and extend your arms and hands as far as you can and rake in front of you from top to bottom, your sides, and the back of your body. -Make sure you shake your hands with that energetic debris and shake off the energy with the intention of sending it to the earth to recycle. -Tip 5 being aware of any beliefs you have about helping someone, that you must take their pain away and you hold on to it, not realizing it. -Not being aware of your philosophy about taking on other people's pain leads to burn-out, fatigue, and not wanting to do healing work anymore. -Tip #6: go to an energy healer to help clear your aura on a regular basis -Tip#7 Call in your divine guides, goddess, whatever deity you resonate it you call them in to hold space for you, you can do this per hour, or for the day, etc. -For agnostics and atheists, you can imagine a comfy chair for your people to sit in and lean on the arm of the chair instead of leaning on you. -You will still hold space for people, you can't help it, but asking a divine entity to hold space for you, will relieve a lot of energy and you can keep 95% of your own energy, you don't need to drain yourself anymore. -Calling in your Divine Guides, is like a prayer, you get into meditation and ask them to hold space. -Tip 8 take a salt bath, or salt scrub, or if you can get to the beach and get into the water by wading or taking a dip in the ocean. Salt cleanses the aura. -Practice these techniques for good energy hygiene and watch how much happier you feel by doing it. -Sharmila teaches these techniques in her 9-month Confident Healing training certification starting in May, grab the application on www.ojaireiki.com, and for more information contact info@ojaireiki.com -She is starting 2/month Reiki Soundbath, starting April 15, it will be 2nd and last Friday of each month, www.ojaireiki.com for more information -Grab your free Energy Hygiene checklist until the end of May 2022 from https://www.ojaireiki.com/theconfidenthealerpodcast Mentioned in the episode: Here is the application  link for the Confident Healer Training Certification https://forms.gle/qHAXxuxW6geUCK4S9 Reiki Soundbath, starting April 15, it will be 2nd and last Friday of each month, www.ojaireiki.com for more information.

This week, we have a serene and gorgeous soul, Yolanda Williams, Self-Mastery Mentor, certified Reiki Master, and host of the Reiki Radio podcast. Like many people, Yolanda found Reiki because she was seeking a way to alleviate her stress and anxiety from transitioning out of the financial corporate sector. Her natural confidence, a great sense of self-worth, and self-esteem didn't waver too much as her Reiki practice organically began to form as she joyfully practiced on family and friends. She started the Reiki Radio podcast, (now it's in its ninth year), to discuss her experiences with Reiki in hopes to help other Reiki practitioners because she couldn't find enough information about what happens after you take a Reiki class and start to practice on yourself and others.  She also interviews other spiritual healers about their work and self-improvement.  Check out her new deck coming soon, The Energetic Alchemist oracle deck a blend of Tarot and oracle with beautiful original art. You can purchase those on her website, www.energeticalchemist.com Show Notes: -Introduction to the guest, Yolanda Williams, Self-Mastery Mentor, certified Reiki Master, and host of Reiki Radio podcast. -Discussion of Yolanda podcasting for 9 years, why she started, and how it's grown -Yolanda started podcasting because she wanted to create a community to discuss how Reiki works and to answer questions. -Are clients different now during the pandemic, and coming out of it discussion -Yolanda notices clients are hungry to self-soothe, self-heal to navigate the enormous changes -prior to the pandemic people came to her to heal others, to start their own Reiki practice. -Most clients come to her to learn Reiki to focus on their own well-being and self-care. -Yolanda's tools to get through lockdown were to be with her family, she became bi-coastal after family and friends passed away that lived in the East coast. -Yolanda's Alchemy Circle, a community for Reiki practitioners to offer support, and guided meditations was borne from being in the pandemic lockdown. -Serendipity played a big part for Yolanda after being laid off from the corporate sector -She started to feel very stressed and anxious, and an astrologer recommended she take a meditation class and get Reiki sessions. -She started to take Reiki classes and started to practice on friends and family, and organically, her friends started to refer people to her. -She was detached from the results so she didn't feel any pressure, and didn't feel the need to convince people about Reiki. -Yolanda was sharing from her direct experience, she thought Reiki was amazing, and other people thought Reiki was amazing, too. -As her Reiki practice grew into a more formal practice, she made sure to NOT put pressure on herself. -She went through her own dark night of the soul in the beginning of her practice. -She would work on people, and she was also going through her “ick” and she started to feel resentful. -Realized she was holding space for others and realized her self-healing practice wasn't enough, she needed someone to hold space for her. -Her goal was never to be a healer, and she still doesn't put that pressure on herself or label herself a healer. -She studied with different 8 Reiki teachers, to get different perspectives, and spent a lot of money on Reiki classes, and retreats. -Realized that many people in the healing communities struggle with charging money for their work. -She came from a corporate background and understood that your time is valuable, you invested a lot of time and money to develop your healing abilities, why wouldn't you charge for that exchange. -How long did it take from taking her first Reiki classes to formally charge money for Reiki? -Understands that in the spiritual community people struggle to take money in exchange for providing services. -She instills to her listeners and Reiki students to honor their time, their training, the financial investment they made to hone their craft. -It's all mindset, if it's valuable to you, act like it, how long are you going to hold on to that story of not charging money in exchange for providing healing services.  -Yolanda stated that she invested in building a website, making the podcast, and newsletters. -If she is investing that, she needs to have an exchange of monies in order to continue sharing her love of Reiki. -Sharmila explains her view of self-worth and self-esteem in terms of an economic chart, there is a baseline, anything below, to her, is the poverty level--very little to no sense of self-worth or self-esteem, anything above the baseline is good to a high sense of self-esteem and self-worth.  -Yolanda answers that she did have a healthy sense of self-esteem and self-worth and that it's true that low self-worth and self-esteem attributes to struggles with money with spiritual services. -Yolanda talks about how people have a certain idea of what you are expected to earn money for and paying for, it's okay to earn money at a corporate job, for instance. -She says more people are becoming spiritual entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs in general in the past few years. -And if you are working, you are showing up then you can expect to charge for the services that you are offering.

Lyda Newman @ 7:45Irom Sharmila @ 17:10

Growing up in the American South during the 1960s, I was surrounded by ethnic tension, inequity, and violence, perpetuated by people who claimed to love Jesus but persecuted others in the name of God. Even as a child, I questioned the hypocrisy of those who believed they were entitled, in the name of their God, to treat their fellow dark-skinned human beings or those who practiced other religious faiths as less than themselves.  In this episode:  Four of my friends of color, Shanti, Crissy, Sharmila, and Miguel  join me to provide a glimpse into the world in which they grew up and how it remains much the same for them today; I ask us to consider how a Jewish, dark-skinned Jesus would be treated in today's world, where white people walk through life unconcerned about their skin color, while brown and black people still do not have this freedom; I propose we do not have a race problem but a respect problem; and, I suggest that to love Jesus and God, we must embrace all of our brothers and sisters who are part of the human family.

This week, I welcome back my guest from a few episodes ago, (S2E4) Jonita D'souza to discuss how South Asians teach people that the most natural event that happens to a person is a time of impurity: menstruation. .   If you are squeamish about this topic, I suggest to lean in because you know someone that menstruates no matter who you are, and since more than half the population bleeds every month for 5-8 days, understanding how old-world cultures view menstruation might give you more appreciation and how resilient menstruaters are.    The stigmas in my Nepali culture about menstruation in my opinion are archaic and steeped in some patriarchal bull shit. Plain and simple.   Please tell me how, if you believe that god created you, then god also created you to bleed every month, but during that time, god says you are dirty, impure? Naw, dude.  God didn't say that. Who made that rule up? So if a menstruater believes in god, and that during that time you are impure, dirty, you are not allowed to perform your aarti? Or like Jonita who grew up Christian, she along with other menstruaters are not allowed to take holy communion. Or a  Muslim menstruater in India, that you aren't allowed to pray (she mentions that in the episode)? Yeah, it boggles my mind that people still carry on these traditions, but maybe, just maybe we can evolve, and people can stop putting their young girls and women all alone in period huts in rural areas of Nepal where danger and death can befall them. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/menstruation-huts-destroyed-nepal-exile-persists-68346515 We discussed our experience of our respective South Asian families and South Asian society's rules we had to abide by when we were on our period. Jonita offers some of her teachings on how to reclaim and be empowered while on your period.  It was a fascinating and eye-opening conversation for me, because I feel disempowered and drained when on my period. Topics discussed: - Sharmila talks about her experience growing up Hindu in America and being on her period - Jonita also talks about growing up in India as a Christian menstruating woman, witnessing her Hindu and Muslim friends traditions around their periods - Conflicting message equating menstruating to being dirty - Jonita found reverence with her period through Ayurveda - Jonita discovered that in ancient India women were honored when they were on their period -Jonita also talks about how in other cultures, thousands of years ago there is evidence in other cultures about the reverence for women and their menses. -Jonita talks about changing your perspective starting with being okay with your blood -Self-care during your period with nutrition, meditation, etc -Advanced practices for using your menstrual blood About the guest, Jonita D'souza Jonita D'souza is a Feminine Lifestylist, an Author and Creatress of Exploring Femininity Ltd., assisting modern-day busy women who struggle with burn-out, overwhelm and body love to reconnect with their feminine and sensual energy using the ancient Taoist and Tantric arts, so that they can create a lifestyle that is fulfilling, nurturing and pleasurable.

She is a Senior Fellow at the Milken Institute.Our conversation starts with Sharmila's move from law into the world of investing, and the policies and priorities that were at the forefront of her mind in her role as Deputy CIO of a large public plan. Sharmila was an early trailblazer for the building and promotion of diverse portfolios in her role at Texas ERS, and the strong performance of these portfolios serves as a powerful proof statement of the win/win nature of diversity. Now, as she builds out her portfolio of Board roles she is committed to using this experience to pave the way for smaller and more boutique organizations to see and enjoy the benefits of diversity. We speak about the figures in her life who have inspired her, and her current agenda to promote change.

In this inaugural "next chapter" podcast episode, we hear from four extraordinary leaders in investment management circles - each pathbreakers in their own right, and each of whom is dedicating this current chapter of their career to a portfolio of Board and other roles.Many executives enter a portfolio or "plural" career once they finish up a traditional executive role, but there is a distinct lack of guidance as to what it is that makes a good director or investment committee member, and particular a good chair.  We hear from these experts about the benefit of perspective, the mantra of "eyes on, hands off", the role of providing counsel to executives and to contributing to the efficacy of a Board. We hear what it is to coach and nurture the next generation of leaders, and why helping to shape diversity on Boards is an important way of bringing about lasting change.  We hear about the importance of an organization's mission, how a good chair will draw out the optimal contributions of everyone around a table, keep time and bring about effective decision-making.This podcast series was made possible by the kind support of Darwin Alternatives.Darwin Alternative Investment Management Limited offers innovative, alpha-driven investment solutions that are uncorrelated with traditional asset classes and feature business areas which have not previously been considered by investment funds. The firm aims to create new opportunities for investors to further diversify their portfolios and achieve stable absolute returns. 

While the Philippines does well in global gender indices, there is clear and present gender inequality in the country. A closer look into the Philippine gender situation exposes the challenges that women, the LGBT, and other gender minorities face daily. But what about throughout Philippine history? With the help of Sharmila Parmanand, we revisit the evolution of gender issues in the Philippines through time in this new episode of PODKAS.

In this episode, I answer questions that my friends and brother wanted to know about the Akashic Records. I did the reading the day before I made the episode.  The way I read my own Akashic Records is by writing it by hand or on a laptop.  I don't get information any other way.  So I am reading the transcripts from the Akashic reading I gave myself the day before recording this episode.  However, when I do a reading for a client, I get information right away by hearing, feeling, being shown scenes, or words flashing before my eyes.  I don't need a pen and paper, or a laptop.  I am a conscious channel for the Akashic Records, I keep my eyes open, and I am fully grounded and aware of what is happening, as opposed to closing my eyes to focus. This is how I was taught to read the Akashic Records. Topics discussed: -My process for reading the Akashic Records -I learned how to do Akashic Readings for myself and for others from Cheryl Marlene -Explaining how I did two different readings to ask questions to explain about the Akashic Records -Opened my records to ask what is an Akashic Record -My Akashic Record explains the human history of accessing information beyond the 5 senses -My Akashic Records explain that it is the name given to the oracle of your soul, that you are accessing the origin of your soul -My Akashic Records explain how language limits but they do the best they can to conceptualize -I open the Founders of the Akashic Records -I got the inspiration to open the Founders of the Akashic Records from my level 3 class with Cheryl Marlene -Who/What are you is the question I asked The Founders of the Akashic Record -They explain they are the energy, the consciousness of earth and its inhabitants -They go into a lot more paradoxes -I explain that when I did this reading the day before I was very overwhelmed by their answer and couldn't comprehend -What is beyond universal consciousness is what I asked the Founders and they answered in a very esoteric way that goes beyond my concept of universal consciousness -They tell me to move forward with the questions because I was trying to wrap my head around that concept -What is an Akashic Record I asked the Founders, the term “akashic record” is human language to help you grasp the concept and give it context -When you get a reading, you are accessing it from who you are in that moment, it's a dynamic, evolving just like a human -They explain how it can differ from a card reading or other types of psychic readings based on where the non-Akashic Record reader is accessing the information -This is due to where the reader is accessing the information from and they distinguish from a higher self to your soul's point of origin -Also these distinctions matter to people, because this is how humans process information -They describe the type of reading that can happen during an Akashic Reading -What is the purpose of an Akashic Reading? The Founders answer in logical ways and more personal to a recipient of an Akashic Reading -They talk about how I was taught to give a reading and let me describe how my fears can come up when doing a reading for another person -I gave an example of how I was doing a reading and I was afraid of telling the person the answer because of the nature of the question -The person's Akashic Record gave me a surprising answer -How can the info be used for transformation? The Founders respond that it's infinite and give some examples. They also say that a reading is always transformational. -Do the guides ever decide if they can give you an answer? The Founders give a surprising answer -How do you choose an Akashic Reader? The Founders answer any way that makes you feel comfortable and give other examples of how random humans can be with their logic. -The Founders have a great sense of humor -How can you prepare? Is it advisable to? The Founders respond that to be present and do what makes you feel comfortable to prepare and give examples, basically, there is no wrong or right way -Is it better to be free of recreational substances and meds that make you drowsy/numb, they suggest that if you cannot be present then to not take those substances or wait until it wears off. -I talk about how Cheryl in her guidelines for readers and clients, to be free of substances for 24 hours, so if you took some sort of recreational substance the night before, don't do a reading and don't get one. -I talk about why I think that guideline is there -Reading ends and I close out the episode Resources mentioned: Sharmila highly recommends Cheryl Marlene for a reading, and to learn how to open the Akashic Records. www.cherylmarlene.com About the Hostess: Sharmila Mali, in case you didn't know, is a Self-Love Expert, intuitive healer, Reiki Master Teacher, Akashic Records Reader (in addition to being a podcaster) and for the past 15 years or so, most of her clients have been women, who want to get over their ex.

Here is another fun and insightful interview with my friend and my business coach I used to work with Alexi Aldine. I worked with her for 4 years to understand how to deal with my low self-worth when it came to business and putting myself out there to let people know about my work. It has been a journey (and still is!) and this is the main person that helped me love myself more and have more confidence and *have* self-worth. She is funny, compassionate, and a wonderful coach. She will be your best cheerleader, and I am so grateful to have met her.  I had all the marketing tools (website, flyers) but I didn't believe in myself, and if you don't have that, you don't get very far in what you want to achieve. This is what Alexi teaches in her Dare to Be You Academy, a mix of getting through your blocks by taking bold steps in your business! We have a great conversation about Scientific Hand Analysis and how your level of confidence shows up in your hands. This is not to say all is lost, my friend, no, not all, it is just learning why and how you get stuck in certain areas of your life, and how to get unstuck. She had to look up the definition of confidence because it's not how she would describe herself, she was just “being herself” and doing things she set out to do.  It never occurred to her that she was being confident, as she puts it, "I'm just being me."  Somehow, we end up talking about my journey and struggles with being a healer in business, and we use my hands as a mini sample scientific hand analysis reading. We also talk about what is in her hands and where she gets stuck, all through the lens of Scientific Hand Analysis which is a modality she uses in her work. So, let's listen to what it is like to live life without doubt about yourself, and learn more about Hand Analysis with the great Alexi Aldine! Topics discussed in this episode: -What has the past been like for Alexi during the pandemic -Alexi talks about where she gets stuck and how she gets unstuck --Alexi mentions Scientific Hand Analysis --Her childhood as a Filipina immigrant --Her family thought children should be seen and not heard --She talks about her ambitions and didn't see that as being confident --She explains where her confidence comes from, that she is just being herself --Explains Scientific Hand Analysis --gives a mini hand analysis of Sharmila's hand --Sharmila and Alexi discuss some of where Sharmila can get stuck, which are written in her hands --It's all about self-acceptance, warts and all as they say --Alexi analyzes her own hand in-depth --Alexi talks about her free masterclass in May   Resources Mentioned: www.askalexi.com where you can find out about her free masterclass in May. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Ahmaud_Arbery www.blacklivesmatter.com/survival-fund/ About the Guest: Alexi is a Certified Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), an Award-winning Speaker. She is certified in Theta Healing and Scientific Hand Analysis and has analyzed more than 2,200 hands.

Alexi's signature approach includes uncovering your Life Purpose blueprint which is found in your fingerprints and lines in your hands. She says, “within 30 seconds of looking at your hands I can tell you why you're stuck and how to get you unstuck so you can share your gifts and get your business off the ground.” To find out how you can get your Life Purpose blueprint, go to www.askalexi.com Contact Guest: www.askalexi.com About the Hostess: Sharmila Mali is the host of The Confident Healer podcast and is a Self-Love Expert and Reiki Master Teacher that works with womyn who want to get over their ex.

Hello!! We are back this week with an actual convo with someone else! YAAY! In today's episode, I bring back my 2nd guest that I had on the show last year, Deepa Pulipati,  to talk about empowering South Asian women and strengthening their leadership skills in the workforce.  Deepa brings up some interesting facts she discovered in her research about South Asian women in the US corporate world, things that reflect our South Asian upbringing in a patriarchal society. It's complicated, but she and I have a great talk about the corporate world and how we can be agents of change to create a more harmonious place at work where productivity, creativity, and self-compassion create a bottom line of job satisfaction, better leadership, and a better product.  Plus, she gives two very simple exercises to create more balance between the inner critic we all have and developing the inner champion we need more of.  We had such a great conversation and we are so excited about the South Asian Womyn's Leadership program! Topics discussed in this episode: -People tend to lump South Asian and SE Asian womyn together, but there are some unique differences between the 2 groups -Deepa and Sharmila are working together in the South Asian Womyn's Leadership Series, a bespoke 5-week program to provide South Asian (here on out S.A.) womyn with tools for advancement, build confidence, and learn how to share their stories amongst other important tools just to name a show -How do South Asian womyn advance in the workplace -Deepa observed her South Asian womyn clients and South Asian womyn associates that worked in felt like they didn't had a clear path to "get ahead" and a lack of representation of South Asian womyn mentors, or South Asian womyn in a leadership role -Deepa personally knows many South Asian womyn that are successful in South Asia and in America -There are very few studies and articles about South Asian womyn in the workplace in the United States       --why is this? -A study showed that womyn are not confrontational nor do they take risks at work -American corporate culture needs to change. We need to think differently and revamp the corporate structure -Solutions offered for clients in the SA Womyn's Leadership series, create community, i.e. "your ideal day" exercise, taking inventory throughout your day, focusing on all the tasks you did -What 3 things do you appreciate about yourself exercise Resources mentioned:  South Asian Womyn's Leadership series deepa@tulacoach.com for more info www.nytimes.com/2019/03/21/business/indra-nooyi-corner-office-pepsi.html   Asian Amerian & Pacific Islanders stopaapihate.org About the guest: Deepa Pulipati is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.

I am back from my week-long break from The Confident Healer podcast.  This week's episode is my solo cast.  I have been thinking about making a solo cast about my bff's mother since her online celebration of life I attended in early March. One of my bff's mother passed away in the hospital after battling covid, she must have been there for a month.  In the episode I used fictitious names to protect their privacy, so when you hear “Clara” that is my bff's mom. She had quite the impact on me, she used to always say, “I am blessed” whenever you asked how she was doing. And I never understood what that meant until years and year later, like over a decade later. When I was writing the script for this episode I must've cried a couple of times, even while editing it days later. I guess it's part of the grieving process.  After I finished recording this episode, I drove to the grocery store and on KCRW one of the interviews was about Karla Funderburk's origami memorial crane project. She started making origami cranes last year for every person that died of Covid. Maybe you remember that story because it made the national news last year and then earlier tonight on KCRW. I guess part of the project is people left voicemails and emails that memorialized their loved ones. It was so hearbreaking to hear their stories.  I was crying when I parked the car when I got to the grocery store. And I cried on the way home. Also, March 15, is @fairygodmothergeorgie birthday! It's a big one, too 70, so please wish her a happy birthday, it doesn't matter if you see this after the 15th, she will still love birthday wishes! About me, Sharmila Mali,  I am a healer, and for the past 15 years or so, most of my clients have been women, who want to get over their ex. I use different modalities to help women get over their ex and I also teach intuitive energy healing and Reiki.  Sharmila Mali contact: www.ojaireiki.com, Instagram: sharmila_the_self_love_expert, FB: Intuitive Consulting with Sharmila ​Music: New Day by Tokyo Music Walker Stream & Download: https://fanlink.to/tmw_new_day​ Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0, Tokyo Music Walker: https://soundcloud.com/user-356546060 Edited and produced by Sharmila Mali Links mentioned: Wish Fairy Godmother Georgie happy birthday (March 15).

  Happy New Year! This week, I am the confident healer! Muhaahahahaaaaa, it's my show so I can do what I want! :D Here is your invitation to this solocast, where I reflect on some of the things that the pandemic taught me. These were: forgiveness, finding my voice and expressing myself in a more public way *cough* The Confident Healer podcast cough*, and figuring out how to deal with your loved ones when you have opposing political viewpoints. I mean we are all humans living on this planet, we have to help each other.  I also miss hugs. The other major lesson last year taught me even more so is the power of touch.  I get hugs from my partner and our cats, and I miss hugging all my loved ones, too. *sigh* Soon, it will happen. I had my ups and downs, and had plenty of time to reflect, grow, retract, grow, reflect…well, you get the picture. Honestly, there were some deep pitfalls than I had experienced in a couple of years, but I found a way to climb out.  Part of climbing out was *not* turning off my phone, staying in touch, seeing uplifting posts, and seeing friends in the safest way possible.  And getting many covid tests. I have never swabbed my nostrils and sinus cavity (in some cases) so many times like I did last year.  It's not over so I expect to get more nasal penetration until we are all somewhat safe and immune. I do hope you are all well and have found some sort of refuge from the chaos happening in our country. Turn off the news, close your laptops and get outside-- weather permitting of course! And if you can get outside, take me along with you, and allow me to add a pep in your step, and let you know that we all struggle and we all recover. Find your light and shine bright, my friends, shine so bright other people shine, too. Much love.
