014: Dr. Helena Estimov on Health, Education Reform, Body Intelligence, Acupuncture & the True Self

In this episode, Dr. Helena Estimov joins Linh here to share her wisdom after 35 years of practicing acupuncture and helping people with on their health journey. She is a well-known acupuncturist in a small town called Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. She has been living here for 30 years living from her heart, helping others on their healing journeys, and communing with nature and friends. I invited her on the stage today for her to share her message on the need to reform education about the human body and for her to share her experiences from years of practice. She speaks about the body's intuition and inner intelligence, creation as being an essential part of nature, the healthcare and medical system, and the true (Soulthentic) self!Thank you for joining us both here and enjoy!For more, follow Linh's journey on Instagram at @linhembodied or visit Linhembodied.com for more content like this!Here is a breakdown of the episode: 3:38 - we are creation4:35 - babies as creation5:10 - we are made up of the five elements6:15 - the potential of our being6:30 - talking with our creative energy7:00 - natural medicines7:26 - we were given everything to keep healthy7:40 - what a pandemic is showing us how global health8:40 - finding a quick fix is not the solution to the root problem8:50 - humans are intelligent, we must act like so9:25 - treating creation like babies, babies like creation9:30 - evolve beyond the matrix with David Brown10:00 - healing the family constellation10:15 - education must incorporate how to live11:30 - education needing reform12:30 - healing the families help heal the world12:40 - the missing parts of modern day education13:10 - raising children with abundance13:20 - authority over your body14:20 - developing a deep connection with yourself & your body15:40 - body’s intuition16:45 - acupuncture as a powerful tool for maintenance17:00 - how to use aromatherapy as a simple self-care tool17:20 - self-care everyday18:10 - the body guides you18:20 - practitioners taking care of themselves18:40 - the body is balancing itself19:35 - the body is a perfect machine20:00 - helena’s path to acupuncture20:30 - path to healing20:50 - using elements as a framework to healing21:20 - nature is setting us up for success21:40 - allopathic medicine being used for emergencies22:15 - herbal system22:20 - how medications are made from herbalism23:00 - nature is a whole complete system23:15 - acupuncture is about telling your body and the systems to turn on and off23:30 - your body’s own system24:25 - everything in the body is connected25:15 - the simplest things, yet difficult to understand25:45 - kidneys connected to the winter26:00 - how acupuncture works energetically28:30 - allopathic medicine seeing the body as a whole30:00 - what ancient Chinese knew way before science32:30 - helena’s approach to treating patients34:00 - the body is always sending you messages35:30 - helena’s story with health36:28 - everyone has an higher self36:40 - our purpose is to be our true authentic self41:30 - feeling of needing change43:00 - helena’s path to acupuncture45:25 - when you take care of your body, it takes care of you46:20 - self-love in education48:30 - if every person is in their authenticity, they can make an impact to the world49:20 - your purpose is in the heart--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/soulthenticpodcast/support To hear more, visit returntoyin.substack.com
