The Art of Letting Go - Final Stages of Healing Part 2

Today for our second installment of the Final Stages of Healing Series, we discuss how to Let Go of inner turmoil, fix stinking thinking, and improve the relationships in our lives to achieve true wealth and support healthy sociological environments for healing and personal growth. We touch briefly on how real lasting health in populations around the world is a product of healthy family and community values, elaborating on the science behind how lifting the weight of poor inward and outward communication skills off our shoulders can actually bring us to greater states of health and vitality. We then provide action steps and review several modalities used to alleviate past traumas, get to know ourselves, and embody the highest self while interacting with friends, family, and colleagues. Embarking on this type of personal evolution brings about greater responsibility as a leader in your community, but it also allows us to move through life with less junk in the basement - and more space for giving, grace, and gratitude for what we do hold onto.

Final Stages of Healing: Radical Self Honesty, Consistency, & Longevity in Practice

This week Emilie Jones is back on the show as our official cohost and we are drawing from our collective experience to lay out step by step advice on how to leverage consistency in practice to evolve into a higher state of healing.We discuss what it takes, and how long it takes to reap the full benefit from a plan of action in overcoming states of dis-ease, and how to use radical self-honestly to track our progress. We elaborate on how this information is applicable to anyone who has ever sought to better themselves, and how the further we get in our journeys toward joy and vitality, the more susceptible we may become to losing sight of our long term outcomes.We also define the concepts of decision-fatigue and faith-fatigue. We give examples of how they can dissuade us from using fair judgement in searching for true, lasting states of health. We share how making choices using intuitive selection can help us avoid these common states that often squander our progress.

Dr Joe Carranza DC: Healing happens when we stop trying so hard

Dr Joe Carranza joins us this week to share his love and passion for the healing art, science, and philosophy of chiropractic. Although Dr Joe facilitates growth in his patients through the lens of a specific healing practice, the life lessons we dive into throughout our conversation are universally applicable, and more valuable than ever before given today’s sociopolitical climate. We talk about the meaning and purpose of tone, vibration, and intuition in our lives, how to remain constantly adaptive in the face of health challenges, how willingness to change is a major factor in healing, and how having unwavering faith is the ultimate tool for overcoming anything we come to face in life. Our discussion also gives listeners a deep inside look into the world of chiropractic. We dig into client progress in different types of adjusting environments, what it is like to treat people as a DC, how lifestyle factors effect change in the body, and what value the adjustment holds in the mind’s eye of those in-the-know when it comes to the origins, purpose, and power that chiropractic care allows us to share with Humankind.Show Notes:Dr Joe on InstagramDr Joe on FacebookDr Joe’s Practice in Long Island, NYTime Markers:@Start - 23:46 Introductions and Breathwork@23:46 - 38:20 Dr. Joe’s passionate past in the health and wellness industry, and beginnings in Chiropractic@38:20 - 46:43 Dr. Joe’s Philosophy and the meaning of Tone in Life@46:43 - 1:06:37 Holding Value and Instigating Change in High Flow Environments@1:06:37 - 1:15:41 Constancy in Healing and Adaptation, and the gift of Interference@1:15:41 - 1:24:06 Willingness to Change as a factor in healing@1:24:06 - 1:35:55 How do we focus on the value of difficult situations, and the value of healthy communication@1:35:55 - 2:03:05 Unique Challenges of 2021 in regards to personal growth and Human Connection, and unwavering Faith@2:03:05 - 2:13:10 Letting go and plugging into Innate in order to invest authentically in our experience@2:13:10 - When we stop trying so hard…

Today I have the pleasure of sharing a conversation with one of the most wonderfully introspective people I have ever met, Dr. Ambrose Koll DC. Ambrose joins us this week to share really powerful thoughts on what personal identity means to us in modern society. His amazing multi-career, multidisciplinary life story gives him a great deal of perspective on many topics most of us take for granted. We discuss the inherent importance of each individual journey we have as humans, overcoming the need for labels, how levels of sobriety can be considered altered states of consciousness, and what it feels like to change our relationships with technology. We also take a deep dive into Ambrose’s perspectives and experiences with the Fullness of Chiropractic.

Boundaries, Self Love, and Having Grace in 2021 with Jordan Neer

This week I have the pleasure of sharing a very special, heartfelt, & valuable conversation with my friend Jordan Neer. Jordan is the type of healer where experiencing her presence, energy, kindness, and lightheartedness goes beyond any title or label one would use in trying to describe her. Her unique, whimsical, and divine expression of life can only be taken in as an incredible example of human potential when we learn to feel our true needs and respond accordingly. She is wise beyond her years, and has in her journey of self-discovery learned to balance humility and assertion with grace. Jordan is everything a healer and doctor of the future should be, and all the qualities above are on full display in the power she brings to this conversation. We reminisce on major healing experiences we’ve both had on our paths within and beyond the chiropractic journey. We then discuss simple ways people should be taking time to allow for healing and self-love in the current socio-political climate, and ultimately we take a deep dive into what it means to have and hold sacred boundaries for yourself while living a life awareness, and what that could look like for people in different walks of life.Jordan is a chiropractic student at Life University in Marietta, GA who has spent countless hours beyond the classroom pushing her limits of perception and skill under the tutelage of our profession’s best. She is also apprenticing as a Shamanic Light Worker under Dr. Suzan Rossi DC, a living legend in the field of chiropractic and one of the most powerful women I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Needless to say, this week’s episode is the kind of discussion that makes me happy to be alive, and excited for more. I hope that if you listen in, it will provide the same effect.Show Notes:Jordan on InstagramJordan on FacebookChicken Soup for the Chiropractic SoulTime Markers:Start@16:59 - 25:41 Jordan Neer’s Beginnings and Journey as a powerful space-holder, healer, and expression of Love@25:41 - 30:37 Personal investment, dating ourselves, personal fulfillment@30:37 - 38:10 Jordans stat into chiropractic care and investment in the philosophy@38:10 - 52:38 Over the matter of time in a growth process: nonlinear and multidimensional healing@52:38 - 56:42 Throw Grace on it: Being okay with frightening moments and incomplete journeys@56:42 - 1:11:41 Self Love and Self Worth in 2021 - Large Impacts from Small Acts@1:11:41 - 1:23:39 Is Personal Growth in response to Societal Outcry Necessary??? & an introduction to Susan Rossi!!@1:23:39 - 1:34:19 Jordan’s Boundaries Practices @1:34:19 - End: Balancing Sacred Feminine, and Empowerment through Divine Choice within the Duality

Tantra - Sex Magic - Procreation - Sexual Orientation & Healing with Kevion Devanté

Come get your Sexual Orientation!!!This week I am joined by Kevion Devanté, Sound Shaman, Crystal Reiki Master, and Instructor of Tantric Healing Arts to discuss the all encompassing human experience of sexual energy. We all have it. We all have a relationship with it. Few have a fully healed, loving, healthy, compassionate, and empowering relationship with their sexual-being. This conversation has the power to change that. Join us and learn that everything within the grand duality of human existence is intrinsically sexual, inseparably intimate, and that embodying the Whole-Being of the Human Experience by Embracing Sexual Presence is not at all a shameful path. Like any other Innate aspect of Creation, sexual energy can be in soul-alignment… And as Nature’s greatest potential act of Creation, it can be a powerful instigator for growth. No words can really describe the level of Wisdom on display in this conversation so please just invest the time. Come for the relief of healing and stay for limitless ability to manifest your best life through the power of connection.Show Notes: Kevion on FacebookKevion on InstagramKevion and Ashley on Only FansUpcoming Tantra Workshop in ATL!!Livin' InnerG Shamanic Healing Arts Services(book) The Multi-Orgasmic Man on Amazon Time Markers:Start @13:54 - 17:44 Introductions and breath work @17:44 - 26:54 Practicing Semen Retention - Why should we, How can we?

Flow Mastery: Overcoming Limiting Beliefs & Creating Higher Realities with Justin Faerman

This week’s show features the type of conversation we all need more of right now. Justin Faerman joins us on the podcast this week to discuss how effortless growth is available to anyone in any given moment.

Not flow states, but flow consciousness. The ability to live in a heightened state of ease and of energetic attraction at all times brought on by an unwavering dedication to following one’s own intuition. Justin co-founded Flow Conciousness Institute with his partner Jackie Knechtel in order to teach people how to release limiting core belief and trauma patterns, and replace them with expansive belief systems based on total abundance through their Flow Mastery courses. In other words, based on many years of personal research and exploration across many health related fields including neuroscience, quantum physics, metaphysical theory, and sociological development, they have designed a scientifically backed, tried and true system for altering our waking realities through a combination of neuro-feedback, brain training and trauma release techniques which allows people to freely experience higher planes of reality.Show Notes: Conscious Lifestyle MagazineFlow Conciousness InstituteJustin Faerman on FacebookTime Markers: @9:15 - 20:57 Breathwork and Introductions@20:57 - 23:20 My experience taking Justin’s Flow Mastery courses@23:20 - 28:31 Justin’s beginnings in personal growth & his journey that led him to finding Flow in his life.@28:31 - 35:27 Finding attunement within oneself, Justin’s Life Vision and the nature of his work.@35:27 - 39:10 Flow Mastery compared to Chek Institute and other personal development tools.@39:10 - 51:13 How how growth is available to us whether we believe in it or not, how to find a Mentor on your path toward self-actualization, and the depth of Justin’s journey that led to Flow Mastery being born…@51:13 - 1:02:07 Flow Mastery as a Swiss army knife for all life’s encounters, what Flow Conciousness is, how to reach our full potentials, and how Flow works.@1:02:07 - 1:05:45 What ends up happening when our entire reality expresses results of abundance and of the greatest good?@1:02:07 - 1:09:35 Challenge is inevitable, struggling and suffering are optional: Perspectives shift and reality evolves in ways beyond our scope of reason once we acknowledge that everything is conspiring in our favor…@1:09:35 - 1:15:12 Is Intuition worth investing in for those of us already “successful”?
