Interviewee: Dr. Pete Poullos Description: In this special 2 part series, Dr. Neera Jain interviews friend and colleague Dr. Peter Poullos on his experiences as a person with a disability. Dr. Poullos candidly reflects on his journey coming into a disability identity and how learning from a vibrant community of diverse individuals has elevated his thinking about disability justice. He shares insight into the power of community and how transformational it has been in forming the disability resource group at Stanford Medicine.

This is a fascinating discussion with Terry Tillman as he reveals how he went from being paralysed to walking again against all odds, using visualisation. He used the same technique to regain his eyesight and at 79 does not wear glasses. He has been implementing teachings such as those by Dr Joe Dispenza, with no prior knowledge of his work. Terry knew intuitively that he could heal himself.  SHOW NOTES Video (edited due to censoring) can be found here: https://vimeo.com/715346793 2mins - a “recovered business man”  The trappings of success, houses, cars, football seats, inside was bankcrupt  4 - Paralysis, healing old wounds 5 - Terry's intuitive knowing - “Nothing special about me, I just did it” 6 - “The doctor said one thing and I knew it wasn't true”. Experience in large groups of people.  7 - The “human potential" movement.  8 - Worked with psychologists, experimentation, testing, finding things that worked.  10 - Description of back injury, not able to move his legs. Wheel chair for 6 months. Orthopaedic surgeon after X-rays and ultrasound and other tests: “You're not going to walk again”. Second opinion said something similar and advised surgery. “My only thought was, well, you can't help me.”  11 - Previous experience with healing his own body, avoiding surgery. “I knew I wasn't going to take drugs.” 12 - In terrible pain, with no drugs. “The pain has a message. If I shoot the messenger, I won't get the message.” 14 - Reference to cancer and making peace with the tumour. “I did things to relieve the pain, I just didn't want to take drugs.” 15 - “Visualise Packmen eating up cancerous cells” - 86% remission rate.  16 - If you create it, you can uncreate it. We were taught a pain process…talking to the pain. “A headache is not caused by lack of Aspirin in the system” - first time I did this, my headache went away.  17 - Silva Mind Control - The Silva Method. “The main thing I have used to heal myself.” NLP. Getting to know the founder of NLP.  18 The Sanctuary - getting into the alpha state to visualise.  20 -  The science is interesting - and it's always changing.  22 - One of my main takeaways at Stanford - a HUGE emphasis on Critical Thinking.  23 - Talking Us Through The Visualisation - (See Podcast 48 as well for Visualisation with VR.) I spent a year plus research, finding anecdotal evidence, all approaches to healing. Met some great practitioners and healers and sampled everything. Learned about how diet affects the system. Energetics.  24 - “I knew the body knew how to heal itself.” It also repairs stronger.  25 - “I grew up thinking women were intuitive, men aren't” - we know there is more intelligence in heart and gut than brain. Reference to Heartmath institute. This is what I did without knowing what I was doing.  26 - “More of a stage than an age” - 79 years old. 28 The history of the AMA, Carnegie & Rockefeller, Flexner Report 29 - "Energy follows thought. Manifestation follows energy.” We can direct that energy. The main thing I do to heal is direct that energy. Fear is focusing on a made up outcome. It is not real. The source of it is not real. False Evidence Appearing Real.  32 - “A Characteristic of all illness is low voltage to an organ”  34 - “You have to dig, past the mainstream news”  35 - Why didn't MSM pick up on the biggest story in March? 36 - I was teaching meditation to my business clients 35 years ago. I called it a stress reduction technique.  44 - Challenging the status Quo. 45 - Processes, tactics, strategy. The main thing is the belief and the intention. “I always ask two questions” - 1) do you want to do it? 2) do you think it's possible? There must be a clear yes. And if there is an unconscious block, we have to remove it.  46 - Unless the yes is clear, we do not move on. “Eye glasses to me are an easy one” Books have been written about regaining eyesight, so it's more believable.  47 - You must believe it's possible.  49 - Using kinesiology to determine whether the person is aligned. First ensuring alignment, then getting to work. “We first work with beliefs.”  50 -  Beliefs are not necessarily true and you can change your beliefs.  51 - Being open to the process. It´s a waste of time to go further, without that belief work first.  52 - Discussing The Placebo Effect. “You see through your belief system. (Not the other way around, as we have all been told.)” 53 - Beliefs are powerful. Getting a yes first. Cancer is a symptom. I treat it all as a symptom.   54 - Eyesight example. Finding out where it started. “What didnt´t you want to see? Who didn't you want to see you?” What´s the positive benefit of having cancer? Or being paralysed?  55 - Finding the positive benefit (weird to say), find alternatives. “Even being paralysed there is a positive benefit to that” 57 - Seeking pleasure, avoiding pain.  58 - Cause versus catalyst. Running on hard ground example. Finding the cause is not what most people thing. What is the source of the dis-ease?  59 - “I have seen quadriplegics step out of a wheel chair and take steps as soon as we get to their beliefs.” 60 - I dropped everything. I stopped everything.   61 - What led to the block and the energy flow?  62 - Find the cause. Discussion of consciousness. Levels: Physical, Astral, Causal, Mental, Etheric (unconscious), Soul (connection to higher realm). If I can connect with the Soul…anything is possible. There is a hierarchy.  63 - “THERE IS NOTHING THE BODY CANNOT HEAL" 64 - Start with Physical, then The Sanctuary (imagination, alpha state, techniques) - primary thing that healed a severed nerve.  65 - Discussing Visualisation of spine. Chiropractor had skeleton in his office. “Show me what is wrong with my spine” 66 - Different ways to focus with “sub- modalities” - visualisation technique.  68 - Combining this with physical, diet, exercise… 69 - Dr Joe Dispenza reference. Visualisation of spine repairing. Terry did something very similar.  1.11 - “I didn't need the science” - the power of anecdotal evidence - just as valuable, if not more.  1.16 - Revealing the results of a stress in his life releasing him. WHEN YOU GET THE CAUSE AND CLEAR IT, IT CAN BE THAT FAST 1.17 - Understanding the energetic cause before the physical.   1.18 - A quick visualisation exercise  1.19 - Just because we don't see it, does not mean it is not true.  1.20 - Look at how polarising the current situation is.  1.21 - Biggest tip: Know it's possible. Then find people to support your journey. People can assist. The answers are inside, not outside.  1.22 - Can Terry help? He works with people of Influence - they can then have an impact.  1.25 - Email Ttillman@227company.com.  1.27 - Terry's #1 Vitality Secret Go to VitalitySecret.com for books, an online program and private coaching options to help you reverse illness and pain by getting to the cause.  Video here: https://vimeo.com/715346793 If you are interesting in private coaching or joining my online program, please go to: https://VitalitySecret.com/Coaching

Today on Courageous Wellness, she shares with us a more personal story -- of suffering a stroke in her spinal cord, prior to her 50th birthday. This spinal cord injury created paralysis for Stephanie from the waist down.   By sharing her very courageous story with us, we dive into Stephanie’s experience from being a temporarily abled body person to a person living with a disability. She not only shares with us concepts and language that are important to be aware of for individuals living with disabilities but also that we are all only ever having an experience of being temporarily abled.    Stephanie shares the ups and downs of navigating a new normal and inspires us with her intelligence and sense of humor surrounding how she navigates experiencing physical paralysis.  She remains an incredibly active and dedicated member of her community as the Co-President of the PTA at Greenwich High School, Vice-Chair to the First Selectman Advisory Counsel for People with Disabilities and has previously held a long list of leadership positions including the United Way of Greenwich and the Junior League.   Stephanie lives in Greenwich, CT with her husband Jim, their son Sean, and their English Golden Retriever Walter. Her interests include golf, spending time with family & friends, singing, playing basketball with her son, travel and volunteerism.

In Episode number 31 of the Mindful life Podcast I talk with 20 year old Maya Dove. Maya is the picture of strength, determination and resilience. At 6wks of age Maya was found to have cysts on her Spine which resulted in a Spinal Chord Injury. Maya is a T3 Paraplegic, which means she has no control or sensation from her stomach down and everything up to her chest is numb. In Australia there are 12,000 people living with a spinal cord injury and each year there are approximately 400 new cases. Maya has spent the vast majority of her life in a wheelchair. But this has not stopped her, to date she has lived a full and determined life. Her humour, her strength of character and her can do attitude has seen her compete here and throughout the world in wheel chair sports. Maya also recently embarked on a solo 7wk Eurpopean trip, which was mainly for pleasure, but she also snuck in a couple of races in Switzerland in week 1. Maya is a force to be reckoned with. But like all of us, she faces challenges and obstacles on a daily basis but she approaches these with determination and positivity. Maya is a shining example of living a Mindful Life, her acceptance of what is, positive outlook and attitude and her ability to live her life to its fullest in the NOW are an inspiring lesson for us all.
