Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) and Your Health
(My apologies... I labeled this as "CONFINED Animal..." and not "CONCENTRATED Animal...". I have actually heard them referred to with both terms, but Concentrated is the preferred term.) Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations are proliferating across America, and have even begun to spread to the…

In this episode, I talk about how failing to forgive others is more harmful to your own mental, emotional, and even your PHYSICAL health., than it is to anyone else. I talk about the scientific/medical indications of self-damage, and a few ways to help you forgive others.

Herbs for Good Health
There's no denying the power of some of today's marvelous pharmaceutical wonders.

Tobacco, Nicotine, and You
We've all heard or read thousands of warnings about tobacco use. But just because it's "Old News" doesn't mean we should ignore it. There is more to it than the risk of lung cancer, trust me. Take a listen, and learn! Main background music: "Evening Nights" CC-BY, Mehul Sharma

Psychosomatic Health, Good and Bad
So many times we hear the term "psychosomatic illness" used in a disparaging way, as though the sufferer is faking it or only imagining it. But the fact is, and research backs this up, that a person's mental and emotional state has a tremendous impact on their physical health. Sometimes that is a...

A Meditation and Prayer for Ukraine

Cultivating Loving Kindness
Loving Kindness is all about treating others, and ourselves, with compassion, kindness, and acceptance. It's not "tolerance" because that implies you simply are putting up with someone else, while (mentally or otherwise) rolling your eyes or gritting your teeth. It's not about sappy, moon-eyed,...

Releasing Negativity and Negative Energies
Since the end of 2021 has just come and gone, it wouldn't be at all unusual if we all breathed a collective sigh of relief... or maybe hold our breath in anticipation of what MIGHT be coming down the pike. But the truth is, holding onto the negativity and bad energy that has been so overwhelming...
-
The Sound of Healing
It has been FAR too long since my last episode, but with the holiday seasons upon us, life has become particularly busy. However, past that, in this episode I talk about sound healing, or more broadly, how vibrational therapy is used to help us... whether it is conventional medicine such as...

Dealing With Mental and Emotional Toxins
With concerns about pollution in our water, air, and food--microplastics, PFAs, lead, and so on, ad nauseum--we often forget about , or simply don't KNOW about, the toxins that can contaminate our thoughts and emotions. These toxins are insidious and often difficult to recognize unless they are...

Good, Good, Good, Good Hydration!

Oh, those Crazy COVID "Cures!"
You know, even though I am a Holistic Health Practitioner, and use a variety of non-allopathic therapeutic methods to help my clients heal, I have been flabbergasted by the number of (quite frankly) crazy ideas that people have come up with to prevent or "cure" COVID. This is especially...

Visualize a Healthier You
Visualization, also called guided imagery, is a powerful tool to help us be better at what we do. But even more importantly--at least from my perspective--is how visualization can help a person heal more quickly and be healthier in general. Scientists have shown that, when we think of an event...

Holistic Health and Fitness: interview with Chris Shingles
Holistic health is NOT just about burning some sage, meditating, using essential oils, and all that. Being healthy ALSO involves simple, practical stuff like good nutrition and proper physical exercise. No matter how many hours you meditate, how many singing bowls you have around you, if you…

Caregiver Self-care for Survival
This episode is a bit different, in that I don't talk about any specific holistic or alternative therapies. But after my own experiences of the last few months, I really feel it is important to address the idea of self-care for caregivers, how important it is, and how to improve it. Please feel...

Traditional Non-traditional Medicine

Why Do Reiki Masters Get Sick?
Time after time, I have heard people say that Reiki, Qi Gong, or other forms of complementary energy therapy must not work, because the people who perform them sometimes get sick. "Why do they get sick, if they are full of this magickal energy?" they ask. I'd like to talk about this fallacy…

Reiki, Complementary Health Practices, and Religion
Many times, people who are not knowledgeable about various energy therapies or complementary health practices, become worried that these practices are somehow evil... sometimes because a misinformed (or totally uninformed) minister has told them this is so. In this episode, I'm addressing some of...

Sometimes, people get confused about the difference between "Curing" and "Healing", and about where those processes have their roots. In this episode, I give you my ideas about that difference. You may agree... you may not... but I hope the episode makes you think, either way.
