Podcasts about SIV

In this illuminating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Siv Jøssang Shields, co-founder of Neurogenic Integration and longtime leader in the world of trauma healing and nervous system regulation. Siv shares how the body stores trauma—not just as memory, but as energy—and how neurogenic tremoring can help us release old patterns, restore flow, and reconnect with our innate intelligence.We explore the deep wisdom of the nervous system, the power of somatic work, and the importance of bringing pleasure and curiosity into trauma healing. Siv's grounded presence, vast experience, and intuitive insights make this a truly powerful episode for anyone on a healing journey.If you've been curious about TRE, somatic practices, or how to access deeper safety and resilience through your body, this conversation is a must-listen.Curious about Neurogenic Tremoring?

When we stop rushing it, we finally begin to listen.""Neurogenic tremoring allows the body to do what it was designed to do—discharge and regulate, without needing a story.""We're not here to bypass pain. We're here to move with it, befriend it, and let it guide us toward deeper regulation.""The body's language is sensation.

Send us a textHave you ever had a stressful or tramatic experience and your body begins to involuntarily shake?  Have you also tried to stop the shaking?  It is very common in our culture to do so, but this shaking is a key to processing stress and trauma.In this episode, I welcome Siv Shields, a chiropractor from Norway with a deep background in meditation and various stress relief practices. We dive into the fascinating topic of neurogenic tremoring, a natural mechanism our bodies use to release stress and trauma through involuntary shaking. Siv shares her journey, including her discovery and training in this technique, and explains how it can benefit those dealing with chronic stress, and trauma. We discuss the importance of understanding and allowing our bodies to naturally release tension, and Siv provides insights on integrating this practice into various therapeutic and daily routines for overall well-being. I'm excited to share this powerful tool with you and offer ways to learn more about it.In this episode:Siv's Journey and Professional BackgroundDiscovering Neurogenic TremoringUnderstanding Neurogenic TremoringPractical Applications and BenefitsChallenges and MisconceptionsHow to Learn and Practice Neurogenic TremoringConclusion and Special OfferLearn more about Neurogenic Integration:WebsiteInstagramYoutubeLinkedInDiscount Codes:1.

Trump administration policies have left about 40,000 Afghan refugees who served the U.S. military in limbo. The Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program has been paused under Trump's executive order, leaving Afghan allies as targets of the Taliban. In Rochester, the nonprofit Keeping Our Promise has expedited its work to resettle refugees, but that work grows more difficult by the day. This hour, we discuss the state of the SIV program and how it's affecting Afghan refugees who were approved to come to Rochester. Our guests: Ellen Smith, executive director of Keeping Our Promise Stephen Cady, veteran and volunteer with Keeping Our Promise Z.K., IT engineer

as part of the learning journey, not the ultimate goal.No: Med støtte fra vennene, en nyvunnen forståelse av balanse, og en dypere selvtillit, gikk Siv trofast inn i framtiden og satte pris på seg selv – ikke bare for prestasjonene, men for at hun hadde vokst, og var villig til å møte livet med åpenhet og varme.En: With support from her friends, a newfound understanding of balance, and a deeper confidence, Siv faithfully stepped into the future and appreciated herself – not just for her achievements, but for the fact that she had grown, and was willing to face life with openness and warmth.

V. E. Schwab, autorka bestselleru Neviditeľný život Addie LaRueovej, otvára nové dvere do sveta, ktorý poznáte z trilógie Odtiene mágie. Kedysi dávno existovali štyri svety, naskladané jeden vedľa druhého ako stránky v knihe, a každý z nich pulzoval fantastickou mocou. Spájalo ich jediné mesto: Londýn. Mágia však planula čoraz intenzívnejšie, a tak museli byť dvere medzi Londýnmi zapečatené v zúfalej snahe zachrániť ich obyvateľov. Mágov, ktorí dokázali tieto dvere otvoriť, postupom času ubúdalo, až napokon ostali len traja - Kell Maresh z Červeného Londýna, Delilah Bardová zo Sivého Londýna a Holland Vosijk z Bieleho Londýna. Posledných sedem rokov sa však v hlavnom meste veľmi nezdržiavali - a v Bielom Londýne sa objavila nová Antari menom Kosika, ktorá nastúpila na trón namiesto Hollanda. Mladá kráľovná ochotne kŕmi mesto krvou, aj tou svojou, hrozí však, že jej rastúci náboženský zápal všetkých pohltí. V Červenom Londýne zatiaľ musí kráľ Rhy Maresh čeliť rebelom, odhodlaným zvrátiť všeobecný úbytok magickej moci tak, že eliminujú kráľovskú rodinu. Mozaiku starých priateľov a nových nepriateľov dopĺňa dievča s nezvyčajnou magickou schopnosťou a prístrojom, ktorý by mohol zmeniť osudy všetkých štyroch svetov. Volá sa Tes a len ona jediná ich dokáže spojiť - alebo všetko zničiť. Číta: Zuzana Jurigová Kapráliková

The spread of high-risk human and animal diseases across borders in the last five years has clearly demonstrated that the best-laid plans can go wrong when it comes to infectious disease control and prevention. In fact, North American and European countries proved decades ago that swine diseases like ASF and classical swine fever can be eradicated through effective government policies, even without ideal vaccines.

Odkiaľ prichádzajú námety a inšpirácia na tvorbu príbehov? Ide naozaj o príbehy, ktoré sa stali? Čo je v príbehoch založené na faktoch a čo je dofabulované? Prečo radi počúvame strašidelné príbehy a prečo nás fascinujú udalosti, ktoré sa stali v dávnej minulosti? Prečo nás aj v súčasnej dobe dokáže ovládať iracionálny strach? Prečo je počúvanie true crime a mystery príbehov zdraviu prospešné a prílišna racionalita nám môže škodiť? Vytráca sa zo sveta magickosť?

Nie je to tak dávno, čo vydajadychtivé ženy verili, že si pravú lásku dokážu pričarovať. Pomáhali si riekankami, bylinkami, rituálmi či rôznymi „magickými“ predmetmi. Jedným z nich bol aj sivý kameň. Povera o Sivom kameni je známa najmä v slovenských a českých tradíciách. Tento kameň je často spájaný s magickými a mystickými vlastnosťami, najmä v kontexte ochrany a predpovedania budúcnosti. V niektorých regiónoch sa tiež verilo, že ak si žena nájde Sivý kameň a nosí ho pri sebe, napríklad v náhrdelníku alebo ako amulet, môže jej to pomôcť pri hľadaní pravého partnera.Tento kameň sa tiež v niektorých verziách považuje za prostriedok na ochranu lásky, aby vzťah bol stabilný a odolal vonkajším vplyvom. Ak sa kameň vráti do pôdy alebo ho niekto stratí, môže to podľa niektorých verzií znamenať neúspech v láske alebo ukončenie vzťahu. Vypočujte si príbeh Zuzany, ktorá si za pomoci čarov chcela pripútať muža. Tie mu však zobrali to najcennejšie, čo mal – jeho dušu.

Jacqui Heinrich at Fox: Afghani Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, who is alleged to have been scheming up an Election Day terrorist attack, was supposedly vetted for Siv status, but it's recently surfaced that this wasn't the case. Meanwhile, Tren de Aragua added San Antonio to its list of hot beds. It's a scary thought, but do you think we'll experience a terrorist attack because of the Biden (Kamala) Administration?    Support the show: http://www.wbap.com/chris-krok/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Their typical daily interactions included the leaders of UNAMA, NATO-Nation Embassies, ISAF, the 3-star US Forces Commander, CENTCOM, OSD, the Joint Staff, the Intelligence Community, regional ambassadors, the Special Forces leaders training the ANA, and the US Ambassador.

In Kabul Jason helped GEN McChrystal form trusting relationships with the same Afghan leaders Jason worked closely with when they first formed the government in 2002.For the next 2 months Jason traveled with GEN McChrystal to over half the provinces to listen to NATO and Afghan forces, and Afghan leaders to better understand the war.  Jason assisted COMISAF during the strategic review of the U.S. and NATO Afghanistan policy, often quietly liaising between GEN McChrystal and Ambassador Eikenberry, his new and old bosses.After the strategic review was sent to CENTCOM Jason was selected to initiate and design the NATO interagency team focused on reintegration — i.e., how former insurgents could rejoin society.

One of his team's key efforts was monitoring and helping U.S. leaders prepare for diplomatic negotiations with the Taliban.2015-2021After retiring in 2015, Jason continued his focus on Afghanistan and Islam as a professor at numerous institutes and continued to advise the U.S. and Afghan governments, and international bodies.From 2016 to 2017, he served as an advisor on the Presidential Transition Team's National Security cell focused on the Afghan peace process and foreign relations with Islamic nations.

His topics included the future of the ANDSF, and the Unconventional Warfare efforts of Pakistan against Afghan and NATO forces.Jason led a USIP project team to assess post-conflict security in Afghanistan that culminated in a an invitation from the Afghan President and UN Chief in Kabul to give a presentation to over 70 nations at the 2020 U.N. Donor Conference on Afghanistan in Geneva.A second USIP project allowed his team to remain involved in the peace process until August 2021 as part of a U.S. Institute of Peace project authorized to conduct Track-2 diplomacy while talking to the Afghan government, various parts of Afghan society, and Taliban supporters.From 2019-2021 during both USIP projects his team took part in the USIP-led discussions that contributed to the congressionally-mandated Afghanistan Study Group Report. “A Pathway for Peace in Afghanistan” was published in February 2021.August 2021 OnwardsAfter the collapse of the Afghan republic while Jason was virtually assisting the evacuation of at-risk Afghans from Kabul, he and his colleagues formed the Global Friends of Afghanistan non-profit (GFA) to speak and write about Afghanistan and ensure the topic of Afghanistan was not removed from the daily news, and to help Afghans raise their voices to the outside world.

In this episode, Michael Thompson discusses his writing path which began at the age of 13. Learn how one teacher's attempt to devalue his doodling led to his creative mentor. I pop into my local Barnes and Noble bookstore several times a month just to feel surrounded by books. When my trip happens to be on a weekend, I often come across local authors signing their books. A few weeks ago, I met Michael Thompson who told me, “Oh, I just sold the last copy of my book.” I congratulated him and discovered that he has quite the writing story to tell and invited him to be on my podcast. I think you'll delight in his journey as an author! Head to https://www.youtube.com/@fierceconversationswithtoby to find all video interviews! Transcripts available at https://tobydorr.com/podcast-schedule/ Some of our fierce topics today: [02:07] Becoming a full-time author is kind of a scary decision. It's not exactly a traditional job and you wear a lot of hats.  [03:54] I was always creating from a very, very young age, and I was always drawing in class and creating all kinds of different characters. Epic battles were filling the margins of my notebooks. I couldn't help myself. And some of my teachers didn't like that. [04:36] It was at summer school that I met the greatest teacher that I'd ever had, Mr. A. He said, “we're going to make our own comic book”. And that was the first assignment. My mom contacted the principal and had me transferred into his class for the fourth grade. And it was there that I created Chicken Boy, my first ever character. [07:48] I loved reading my stories with my grandfather, and he had a great voice. And I always really enjoyed writing something just so I could hear him read it to me in his voice. [08:57] My grandpa passed away when I was in the middle of college. And the book hadn't come out yet. And I had just kind of a placeholder name for the currency. It was like, you know, kind of like your classic gold doubloon type looking thing. And I just called them pieces and I didn't know what to call them yet, but I wanted something unique. When it came time to do those final polishing up edits. I still needed a name for the currency. And I found a stack of my grandfather's edits and in his handwriting, he had circled that placeholder and I think he meant to write silver or something, but he abbreviated it SIV, S I V. So I named the little treasure pieces Siv. [33:05] I love the research process of these books. I call it the real-world tether. Each story has this root in reality or in real-world legends. So if you happen to search any of the creatures that Winslow sees on his voyages, you'll be, really excited to see it's like a whole bunch of old newspaper articles detailing other people's alleged encounters with those same myths.

My neighbor and mentor Nate Scales has been flying paragliders at a high level for over 30 years. He competed in the 2007 Red Bull X-Alps. Owned the US foot launch record out of Idaho, where conditions can be about as rough as it can get. He has been flying 2 liners since their inception in 2009. But until this week had never done an SIV, and never stalled a glider. He finally decided the time was right and it was time to conquer his fears. This is his story. Let's call it a PSA for those on the SIV fence. Nate has had a nearly accident-free flying career. Chalk it up to skill and making good decisions and a good dose of luck but we all know this sport can bite, and it's never too late to mitigate some of the risk.
