Story Transcript:No: Det var en klar høstdag i det norske landskapet.En: It was a clear autumn day in the norske landscape.No: Trærne var kledd i gyldne, brennende blader som danset i vinden, og små gårder lå som perler mellom de myke åsene.En: The trees were dressed in golden, flaming leaves that danced in the wind, and small farms lay like pearls between the soft hills.No: Sindre, en ivrig bonde med et stort smil, speidet utover marken.En: Sindre, an eager farmer with a big smile, scanned the fields.No: Ved siden av ham stod hans trofaste venn – en geit ved navn Tuva.En: Beside him stood his faithful friend – a goat named Tuva.No: Høstens lokalfestival var rett rundt hjørnet, og Sindre hadde en plan.En: The autumn local festival was just around the corner, and Sindre had a plan.No: Sindre var overbevist om at Tuva kunne bli stjernen i talentkonkurransen.En: Sindre was convinced that Tuva could be the star of the talent contest.No: Han hadde sett for seg en komisk dans der Tuva elegant ville bevege seg til rytmen av den lokale folkemusikken.En: He had envisioned a comedic dance where Tuva would elegantly move to the rhythm of the local folk music.No: Men det var et problem.En: But there was a problem.No: Tuva, ivrig etter å bli underholdt, var mer interessert i å tygge på syndres stråhatt enn å lære noen dansetrinn.En: Tuva, eager to be entertained, was more interested in chewing on Sindre's straw hat than learning any dance steps.No: Dag etter dag prøvde Sindre å lære Tuva enkle trinn.En: Day after day, Sindre tried to teach Tuva simple steps.No: "Kom igjen, Tuva," sa han mens han danset rundt, "fot til høyre, fot til venstre.En: "Come on, Tuva," he said as he danced around, "foot to the right, foot to the left."No: " Men Tuva, hengitt til sin egen rytme, kastet seg over Sindre og rev av hatten fra hodet hans.En: But Tuva, devoted to her own rhythm, lunged at Sindre and tore the hat from his head.No: Hun tygget nøye på kanten, og virket helt uanfektet av dansetimen.En: She chewed carefully on the brim, seeming completely unaffected by the dance lesson.No: En dag, frustrert men fortsatt optimistisk, fikk Sindre en idé.En: One day, frustrated but still optimistic, Sindre had an idea.No: Han visste hvor mye Tuva elsket kål og bestemte seg for å bruke det som bestikkelse.En: He knew how much Tuva loved cabbage and decided to use it as a bribe.No: Han brakte ut en hel fjell av kål og sa: "Se, Tuva!En: He brought out a whole mountain of cabbage and said, "Look, Tuva!No: Dans først, så får du kål.En: Dance first, then you'll get cabbage."No: " Men Tuva, med sine store, nysgjerrige øyne, var allerede inni hodet dypt fornøyd med hatten.En: But Tuva, with her big, curious eyes, was already deeply satisfied in her mind with the hat.No: Dagen for festivalen kom.En: The day of the festival arrived.No: Gårdsplassen var fylt med folk, latter og forventning.En: The farmyard was filled with people, laughter, and anticipation.No: Sindre kjente sommerfugler i magen.En: Sindre felt butterflies in his stomach.No: Det var deres tur til å opptre, og han tok et dypt pust mens han gikk opp på scenen med Tuva.En: It was their turn to perform, and he took a deep breath as he went up on stage with Tuva.No: Plutselig, midt i folkemusikken, kastet Sindre hatten i luften i ren frustrasjon.En: Suddenly, in the middle of the folk music, Sindre threw the hat into the air in sheer frustration.No: Til alles overraskelse sprang Tuva etter hatten.En: To everyone's surprise, Tuva sprang after the hat.No: Hun jaget den rundt Sindre, og i et forsøk på å fange den, danset de alle sammen i en uforventet, men utrolig underholdende rutine.En: She chased it around Sindre, and in an attempt to catch it, they all ended up in an unexpected but incredibly entertaining routine.No: Publikum lo så tårene trillet, smittet av Sindres latter og Tuvas rampete sjarm.En: The audience laughed until tears rolled, infected by Sindre's laughter and Tuva's mischievous charm.No: Da showet var over, fikk Sindre og Tuva stående applaus.En: When the show was over, Sindre and Tuva received a standing ovation.No: Selv om planen ikke hadde gått helt som forventet, forstod Sindre noe viktig.En: Although the plan hadn't gone quite as expected, Sindre understood something important.No: Det var ikke perfeksjonen i dansen som betydde mest, men gleden og latteren de skapte sammen.En: It wasn't the perfection of the dance that mattered most, but the joy and laughter they created together.No: Sindre klappet Tuva forsiktig.En: Sindre patted Tuva gently.No: "Du er en stjerne, Tuva," sa han med et stort smil.En: "You are a star, Tuva," he said with a big smile.No: Og mens solen sank bak åsene, visste han at både han og Tuva ville bli husket for den morsomme, uforglemmelige dansen på den lille landsbyen festivalen.En: And as the sun sank behind the hills, he knew that both he and Tuva would be remembered for the funny, unforgettable dance at the little village festival.

What are the contents of Out of Body Experiences? How closely do they map the actual physical world? Is it possible to induce them purposefully? How do modern practices compare to indigenous shamanic ones?In this Episode we look at the scientific, religious, cultural and historical contexts of Out of Body Experiences, also known as astral projection - so the experience in which an individual appears to leave their body and be able to travel around the world and into other dimensions, often meeting other worldly entities, similarly to DMT psychedelic experiences, (see Episode #73, “DMT Entity Experiences”). So, we get into the phenomenology- the various things people experience; potential neurobiological explanations; and the possibility of inducing the experiences on purpose and of exploring alternate realities; we get into indigenous traditions of ‘Shamanic flight' and which people might be predisposed to these alternate states of consciousness; and we end up talking about a potential connection between OBE, sleep paralysis and ludic dreaming.To discuss this slippery topic, we have a researcher who is also a lifelong experiencer, who has devoted her career to trying to understand these phenomena, the medical anthropologist and author Samantha Lee Treasure; she has an MA in Medical Anthropology from SOAS university in London, has been a brain science research assistant at the University of Liege, and has just released her first book on the topic, “Out of Body experiences”, the release of which this episode is timed to coincide with.What we discuss:00:00 Intro.11:30 What is medical anthropology?16:00 OBE entity research.22:15 Samantha's New Book - getting beyond preconceptions.25:50 OBE vs Astral projection - bypassing the taboo.30:00 Common reported OBE experiences.33:00 Mental body schemas and projected models of the world.37:00 Do OBE's map the real world accurately?45:00 Olaf Blanke - the Temporoparietal junction discovery.48:45 No sense of smell during OBE nor processed by the TPJ.49:40 Techniques to induce OBE's intentionally.53:45 Bob Monroe's perspective switching technique.55:30 Shamanic flight practices in Tuva, Siberia.59:35 The sonezen - the perceiving mind self.01:01:00 This is not for everyone, it can be scary.01:05:00 The predisposition for some to have these experiences.01:10:45 Crossovers between NHI Contact and OBE entity experiences.01:14:20 Genealogical predispositions.01:18:25 “Reality Shifting” and the role of intention in OBE.References: Samantha Lee Treasure, “Out-of-Body Experiences: Explorations and encounters with the astral plane”.Stephen Le Berge, “Pre-sleep treatment with Galantamine stimulates lucid dreaming” paperOlaf Blanke, “Linking out-of-body experience and self processing to mental own-body imagery at the temporo-parietal junction” paper.

Tuva Fellmann har gjort seg bemerket med en imponerende karriere innen radio og TV. Selv hevder hun at drivkraften ikke nødvendigvis har vært ambisjon eller en tydelig plan, men snarere nysgjerrighet og mot til å ta utradisjonelle valg. Hun forteller ærlig om hvordan hun sa opp en trygg fast jobb i NRK for å følge en mer usikker, men spennende vei. Tuva har to barn, deler i samtale med Hanna ærlig rundt sine egne fødsler, hvor den første var nok så dramatisk. I ettertid har hun gjort seg mange refleksjoner og én ting står klart: fødsel blir sjelden slik man har sett for seg. Episoden er produsert av Synne Johansen. Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 87 Tuva Nilsmark: BridgeQueen Today's guest is Tuva Nilsmark, who goes by BridgeQueen on YouTube. As a bridge lover and social media user, Tuva saw a gap in the YouTube landscape for bridge videos that are light, short, easy to understand, and fun to watch. She fills that gap with her tutorials and weekly Funbridge Friday videos, hoping to inspire new players to hone their skills. Bridge isn't just community for Tuva – it's a part of her family. Tuva's boyfriend is Simon Ekenberg, whom she met through bridge. She also picked up bridge as a teenager to play with her grandparents, whom she promptly abandoned for stronger players.  Boye Brogeland suggested I interview Tuva for this episode. You can listen to my conversation with Boye here: https://www.thesettingtrick.com/https/thesettingtricklibsyncom/ep-84-boye-brogeland-bridge-at-the-edge-and-in-person  Subscribers to The Setting Trick email list check your email or to subscribe click here: https://www.thesettingtrick.com/  You can follow Tuva on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bridge.queen/?hl=en  Tuva's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@bridgequeen Episode Highlights: 2:00 – Tuva is in a fantasy football league with her boyfriend Simon Ekenberg other bridge players: “Really good bridge players; they suck at fantasy football though.” 4:58 –Tuva started her YouTube channel recently, to a largely positive reception.

She wants to counter the overly serious image that bridge can have.  29:17 – Tuva and Simon played a bridge and golf event and beat Ola Rimstedt. 36:30 – Tuva's first partner was her father 42:32 – The BridgeQueen YouTube channel has a video called “Learn Bridge in only Three Minutes:” https://youtu.be/MxWO8EFujbw?feature=shared  49:01 – The most pressure Tuva has felt playing bridge so far 55:04 – Tuva's ultimate goal is to win the Venice cup 58:55 – Another long term goal of Tuva's is beating Simon
