The Field Dynamics Podcast

Field Dynamics

The Field Dynamics Podcast is setting the standard in understanding the nature of consciousness, healing and transformation from a holistic perspective, facilitating inspiring dialogues across disciplines, communities, and practitioners. Each episode features illuminating conversations with world-class experts providing you with cutting-edge perspectives in the fields of wellness, healing, self-realization, and science. We uncover the tools, traditions, modalities, and mechanics of consciousness transformation: from energy healing to family constellations, somatic therapies to vibrational medicine, neuroscience to meditation – we believe the most interesting things happen at the boundaries of disciplines. With a contemporary integrative framework, we see science and spirituality as complementary, not contradictory. Hosted by Keith Parker and Christabel Armsden, Founders of Field Dynamics.

Ancient-Future Medicine: Psilocybin Mushrooms and Psychedelic Therapy with Jahan Khamsehzadeh
Sep 14 2023
Ancient-Future Medicine: Psilocybin Mushrooms and Psychedelic Therapy with Jahan Khamsehzadeh
Jahan Khamsehzadeh, Ph.D has spent two decades researching psychedelics in the context of both evolution and psychotherapy and says he “knows of no more powerful means of transforming consciousness than those that use the assistance of psychedelics.”  In this in-depth and eye-opening discussion Jahan shares a pivotal psychedelic mystical experience. He presents key scientific research into the efficacy of psychedelic therapy for depression and other health issues, why modern Western culture has had such a legal and moral antagonism towards psychedelics and the emerging therapeutic landscape which integrates academia, science and traditional shamanism. He also gives context to microdosing with psilocybin mushrooms. ---Jahan's dissertation on psychedelics in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness program at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco was later published as the book The Psilocybin Connection: Psychedelics, the Transformation of Consciousness, and Evolution of the Planet - An Integral Approach (North Atlantic Books, 2022). He graduated from the University of Arizona with a major in Philosophy and minors in both Physics and Psychology then going on to earn a master’s in Consciousness and Transformative Studies from John F. Kennedy University. Additionally, Jahan has taken a comprehensive Hakomi somatic-psychotherapy training, assisted with the Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy Certificate training at CIIS for two years, mentored at the newly emerging School of Consciousness Medicine and trained in the Mazatec mushroom tradition. Currently, he works as a facilitator for legal psilocybin mushroom ceremonies in Jamaica with Atman Retreats, one of the few opportunities offered worldwide where people can legally experience psilocybin. Liked what you heard?

Aug 31 2023
The Wisdom of Herbs for Healing & Wellness with Matthew Wood
Matthew Wood has been a practicing herbalist since 1982. He studied botany at the University of Minnesota, receiving his Master of Science degree from the Scottish School of Herbal Medicine. An international lecturer, he has authored ten books on herbal medicine, including The Book of Herbal Medicine (North Atlantic Books, 2017) and The Earthwise Herbal Repertory (North Atlantic Books, 2016). In this episode Matthew shares with us early insights regarding the natural world and his realization that "nature is alive". An expert herbalist, he walks us through how he works with clients from intake through diagnostic approach and herbal remedy. Matthew shares how as his practice has matured over the decades he has learned to simply “follow the energy”. We discuss the homeopathic principle of treating like with like and what the extracellular matrix is and its role in whole organism communication. He describes the role of constitution in holistic health and gives examples from Ayurveda’s dosha system, Native American animal likenesses, and the modern “body types” idea of endomorph, ectomorph and mesomorph. We examine the healing mechanism of adaptogenic mushrooms like Reishi and Chaga and how they fit into a herbalist framework. He also recommends certain sustainable tonic herbs that can have long term benefits and explains the concept of “the green power” of Viriditas, espoused by the middle-age mystic Saint Hildegard. Matthew discusses the growing challenges in people’s wellness in a complex era of experimentation, sharing his vision of our relationship with the planet and Mother Nature in which our hearts are aligned with the love of the Earth. Matthew has helped tens of thousands of clients over the years, many with difficult health problems, and has maintained a practice of traditional Western herbalism during a period when many others have turned to the exotic traditions of India or China. While Matthew believes in the virtue of other healing modalities, he has always been inspired to learn, preserve, and practice the tradition of herbal medicine descending to us from our European, Anglo-American, and Native American heritage. He is a registered member of the American Herbalists Guild and teaches online through the Matthew Wood Institute of Herbalism.Liked what you heard? Help us reach more people!

How to Have Conscious Sex; Exploring Tantra and Intimacy with Diana Richardson
Aug 17 2023
How to Have Conscious Sex; Exploring Tantra and Intimacy with Diana Richardson
Diana Richardson, author of The Heart of Tantric Sex; A Unique Guide to Love and Sexual Fulfilment (2003), is known as the pioneer of the Slow Sex movement. In 1979, she became a disciple of the Indian mystic Osho and her interest in meditation, touch and healing initiated an exploration into Tantra, an ancient body of knowledge originating in India. In this eye-opening episode we discuss Diana's personal journey and how she navigated tantric sex traditions, including the influences of teachers Osho and Barry Long. Diana shares the fundamentals of conscious sex, emphasizing the importance of awareness, non-doing and presence. She discusses how tantric sex creates an expansion of energy and consciousness, in contrast to traditional sex which is goal-oriented and orgasm-led. We consider the burdens of sexual conditioning carried by both men and women, such as performance anxiety and the desire to please. Demystifying the strategies of tantric sex and revealing the importance of receptivity, Diana shares how tantra is a practice of moving inward which naturally brings about healing and self-realization. She discusses how an erection is not a necessary part of conscious sex, and how tantric practice isn’t limited to heterosexual couples, but is available to all sexual orientations and partners. We cover the theory of the positive and negative poles of the body which circulate the magnetic energies, and how tantric sex is grounded “in the basement” of the body, the genitals and pelvis - thus creating change in the rest of the system above. Diana joyfully shares how becoming conscious of and broadening our relationship with sex can lead to all types of greater enjoyment and fulfilment in life. Other titles authored by Diana include Tantric Orgasm for Women, Slow Sex, and the co-authored Tantric Sex for Men with her partner Michael Richardson. Together, they are based in Switzerland, where they guide couples in the art of conscious sex in their highly successful Making Love retreats. Diana has been a speaker on TEDx, sharing her insights about how sex can be much more than our mainstream culture relates to it. Ultimately, Diana shows us how sex can be a genuine method for self-exploration and spiritual development.TEDx talk by Diana Richardson The Power of Mindful Sex (2018, Linz, Austria) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqyW35EMLuMLiked what you heard?

How to Practice Energy Healing Ethically & Legally with Midge Murphy
Midge Murphy JD, PhD practiced entertainment law in California for over a decade, working with prestigious clients such as 20th Century Fox and Disney. After attaining her professional goals, she found herself on a quest to explore her spirituality and the emerging field of energy medicine with luminaries such as Norm Shealy MD, PhD and Caroline Myss. In 2001, she became the first attorney to earn a PhD in energy medicine, becoming an energy healing practitioner. Given her prior experience, that same year she was asked to teach a class on ethics and legal issues and in doing so realized that without appropriate education and training, both licensed and non-licensed practitioners that incorporate energy healing methods into their practices faced possible legal risks. As a result, Midge opened her consulting practice in ethics, legal issues and risk management strategies in the practice of and training in energy healing methods. Midge shares her personal story, and her experience ranging from hospice care and therapeutic touch to reiki and shamanic studies. We discuss how energy healing practitioners are healthcare practitioners, and the importance of practising in integrity, both professionally and legally. We define CAM (complimentary and alternative medicine) and how it fits into the western medicine paradigm. We cover legal and regulatory frameworks for energy healing practitioners in the USA and the changing laws regarding the practice of energy healing. We also discuss important considerations about liability and risk mitigation, such as working across state lines and guidelines about how to appropriately market and describe services. Midge shares what to look for in a professional training body for those interested in becoming certified practitioners. We discuss important ethical considerations such as informed consent, client confidentiality and integrating other practices with energy work. Midge also shares her views on the future of integrative medicine, and how a holistic approach to healthcare simply has to include energy.  For over 15 years, Midge has been serving many of the best-known practitioners and training organizations in the field. She is recognized as a leading expert and a dynamic presenter and teacher, publishing her book Practice Energy Healing in Integrity, expanded and updated in 2020. Liked what you heard?

An Ayahuasca Journey; Shamanic Plant Medicine with Hamilton Souther
Hamilton Souther is a Master Ayahuasca Shaman, founder and Chairman of Blue Morpho retreats, and an important voice in Amazonian sustainability and conservation. In this fascinating episode he shares his original calling and experience with ayahuasca, as well as his intense apprenticeship and training process while living deep in the Amazon jungle. Hamilton describes how we are in a unique time of convergence regarding consciousness, technology and cultural change. We discuss ayahuasca's healing potential which may include treating depression, trauma, PTSD, physical pain, ailments and more. We also discuss the neo-shamanic revolution and the role of plant medicine in the awakening of humanity, and icaros - the magical language and song of the shaman. Hamilton shares the importance of integration following ceremony and suggested supportive practices as well as his personal journey working through duality and fear-based consciousness. He talks of the shaman's skills in facilitating ceremony such as holding safe space, keeping the group field grounded and navigating perception in different realms and visionary states. We discuss the range of effects of ayahuasca such as purging, communication with nature, various psychic phenomena, accessing higher dimensions, visions of sacred geometry and the experience of spiritual unity or oneness. He shares how ayahuasca may be viewed as an accelerant to personal transformation and can integrate contemplative and shamanic practices.

Exploring Kambo; Shamanic Frog Medicine
Jul 6 2023
Exploring Kambo; Shamanic Frog Medicine
Andrew Mulquin is a Master Kambo practitioner and teacher, and was the first practitioner world-wide trained to Master Kambo Practitioner level by the International Association of Kambo Practitioners (IAKP). Andrew holds group Kambo ceremonies, private treatments and trainings in both the UK and abroad. We discuss the history of Kambo, its indigenous origins, and how Kambo has been used for community building, negative energy (panema) and detoxification. We discuss how unlike many other Shamanic medicines, Kambo is neither psychoactive or psychedelic. We cover the chemistry of Kambo, especially the unique peptides contained within it. Andrew shares his introduction to the medicine and subsequent journey as a practitioner and teacher. He shares client healing stories highlighting Kambo's assistance with fertility issues, depression, pain relief and gaining greater clarity in life. We discuss how a Kambo ceremony is facilitated and what to expect. Crucially, we chat about how Kambo is best harvested, and the importance of sustainable and ethical practices regarding the beautiful Amazonian monkey frog. We cover some of the controversies about Kambo, and contraindications such as heart-related issues, strokes, certain mental health conditions, electrolyte balance and much more. Andrew shares his knowledge of the current scientific studies into Kambo pharmacology and how aspects of Kambo are currently being isolated for multiple patents in the USA. As a Kambo practitioner, Andrew sees his role as a guide to help his clients through an intense, personal journey with the medicine. During a circle or treatment he is careful to allow space for each person’s process, and to make the experience as easy and as comfortable as it can be. Andrew sees Kambo not as a cure in itself, but rather as a means of allowing a person’s mind and body to function as they should. He feels blessed to have witnessed Kambo affect positive changes in the lives of the many people he has treated. He acknowledges that Kambo is not a medicine for everyone, but for those who it is, it can be a powerful catalyst for healing and transformation. Liked what you heard? Help us reach more people!

I'm Not Coming Back: Experiencing Enlightenment with Ananda Abinou
Ananda Abinou achieved his enlightenment in 1973. Since that time he has travelled extensively, giving freely to whomever sought his knowledge. In 2001 he released his teachings to the public in the book I'm Not Coming Back; Talks With Ananda Abinou (Epinoc Publishing). Ananda muses on all things consciousness related, from esoteric teachings to the nature of reality. He has been called a Black Buddha and the Sage of the West. In this meditative episode Ananda shares his awakening process, the act of letting go at a radical level, and how he didn’t come to awakening through any spiritual system. We discuss what enlightenment is in relation to what he calls "the moment", how psychological tension effects the body and the physical adjustments he experienced after his spiritual awakening. Ananda shares how reality is a “vibrational frequency”, and the importance of the power of choice, focus and responsibility. He highlights how we limit ourselves through our investment in beliefs and how an individual contributes to the collective. He discusses moving beyond duality and coming to wholeness, the singularity of consciousness and our responsibility to truthfulness. Finally, Ananda exemplifies the importance of laughter, joy and why it's important not to take things so seriously!Liked what you heard? Help us reach more people!

Wilka invites us to broaden our relationship to transitions, and emphasises living fully and dying gracefully. She explains how death is happening at many levels, much of the time, and how grief can be dealt with wisely. We also discuss death denial, how dreams inform life, altered states, and the possibilities for integrating Curanderismo, Tibetan Buddhism and other approaches to the death process.

May 25 2023
The Colon Tells a Story: Colon Hydrotherapy with Bill Haggard
Bill Haggard is a highly experienced colon hydrotherapy practitioner with a knowledge and wisdom for the therapy born of great passion and experience. Twenty-two years ago, Bill found himself suffering from a life-time exposure to toxic environments including Agent Orange used in Vietnam and chemicals from his family’s farming amongst others. Diagnosed with several inconclusive conditions, including liver ailments and chronic fatigue, Bill began researching alternative therapies and discovered colonics. Bill shares how the colon and our colon health tells a story, the various systems for colonic irrigation and his personal journey of recovery. We discuss how stress, refined food, dehydration, chemical exposure, and unprocessed trauma and emotions can impede your colon’s ability to eliminate efficiently. We discuss why gut health and maintenance is often under the radar in health and wellness, the benefits of colonics and enemas, and how colonic irrigation is an ancient practice. We consider the controversies and contraindications regarding colonics. Bill shares what he feels are the best complimentary practices, the value of using filtered water for hydrotherapy, the role of constipation and diarrhea, the popularity of coffee enemas, and the use of additives to enhance detoxification. We discuss the connection of the gut, nervous and immune system and the importance of getting back to the basics of health. Bill shares how a healthy colon can lead to greater vitality and clear thinking, what a healthy digestive system looks like, how a person can start on the journey of greater colon health, and what to look for in a colonic practitioner. Bill now lives a life free of the 'ailments' previously diagnosed, and has been offering colonics as a practitioner for more than twenty years to a thriving clientele.Liked what you heard?

"Resonance & Craniosacral Therapy" with Scott Zamurut
May 4 2023
"Resonance & Craniosacral Therapy" with Scott Zamurut
Scott Zamurut is a practitioner and teacher of somatic and energetic healing arts with over thirty-three years of experience in the field. His training background includes massage therapy, Polarity Therapy, private mentoring in structural integration, group leadership and dynamics, and ontological coaching, all of which support his current work in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, and Pre and Perinatal education and healing. Scott shares his journey into the healing arts and what distinguishes the biodynamic approach amongst other approaches to craniosacral work. We discuss how energy is the “agency of healing”, the experience of sensing the body and the energy field in an integrated way and even integrating chakras within the craniosacral paradigm. We cover the importance of being present with the body, the earth and the energetic midline. We also investigate a core concept called primary respiration: how the body not only breathes physically but also energetically. Scott talks about developing palpation and perceptual skills, trauma healing, how to integrate classical psychic perception in touch therapy and the importance of maintaining healthy boundaries as a practitioner. He shares how working energetically gets us beyond the narrative and how the body resets and self-heals after energetic resolution. Scott entered his teaching path in 1990 with Polarity Therapy. As a student and teacher trainee in the first BCST training with Franklyn Sills, he is among the longest tenured Biodynamics teachers in North America. Scott was also fortunate to work extensively in the Pre and Perinatal field with Karlton Terry, who mentored directly with William Emerson, Ph.D. These two streams of healing work are alive as the core focus of Scott’s healing and teaching practice. He served as a founding board member of the Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Association of North America, and is a past Vice President of the American Polarity Therapy Association. He is based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.Liked what you heard? Help us reach more people!

"Awakening to the Truth of Who You Are" with Laurie Keene
Laurie Keene is an author, international teacher and speaker of spirituality, personal transformation and the evolution of human consciousness. She has spent three decades as a leader in the mindfulness movement. We discuss Laurie's personal journey of healing, the importance of discovering one’s passion in life and the meaning and process of awakening. We consider what multidimensionality means, how the aura is structured and how this factors into developing high sense perception (HSP) or extrasensory perception (ESP). Laurie explains how all energetic blockage shows up in the body, that trauma and suffering are doorways to freedom, and what obstacles stand between us and finding our divine purpose. She shares her story of awakening, the role of grace in enlightenment and what she calls "learning to follow the soul". She describes how we can all remember that we are all that is. Laurie is a Brennan Healing Science Practitioner and teacher, a Living Practice Mentor, Core Energetic therapist and Continuum teacher. Working side-by-side with Barbara Brennan for over 25 years, she was Dean of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing from 1993-2016.

"Conscious Dreaming - Learn to Talk and Walk Your Dreams" with Robert Moss
Apr 14 2023
"Conscious Dreaming - Learn to Talk and Walk Your Dreams" with Robert Moss
Robert Moss is a dream teacher and the creator of Active Dreaming, an original synthesis of dreamwork and shamanic methods of journeying and healing. A former lecturer in ancient history at the Australian National University, he is a best-selling novelist, journalist, and independent scholar. A central premise of Robert’s approach is that dreaming isn’t just what happens during sleep; dreaming is waking up to sources of guidance, healing and creativity beyond the reach of the everyday mind. We discuss dreaming as a form of travelling, how there are different types of dreams, and his initiation into other realities. We consider dream etiquette, the transformational power of symbolism and imagery, and the potential diagnostic function of dreams. Robert shares the idea of dreams as a form of soul communication, and how we can learn to “talk and walk our dreams”. We consider what aspect of ourselves might survive physical death, the subtle or astral body as the vehicle of dreaming, and the importance of psychic protection. He shares the great importance of dreaming in many cultures, and how in indigenous North America the dominant word for shaman (and also for healer or spiritual elder) means dreamer. Robert has published twelve books on dreaming, shamanism and imagination, including Conscious Dreaming: A Spiritual Path for Everyday Life (Harmony, 1996) - his first and foundational book introducing his marriage of shamanism and dreamwork. Born in Australia, Robert survived three near-death experiences in childhood. He has led seminars at the Esalen Institute, Kripalu, the Omega Institute, the New York Open Center and many others, and offers a three-year training for teachers of Active Dreaming. He has appeared on many TV and radio shows, including the Today Show and Coast to Coast. His books have been published in more than twenty foreign languages.Liked what you heard?

"Deep Loyalty to the Family System" with Marina Toledo
Mar 30 2023
"Deep Loyalty to the Family System" with Marina Toledo
Marina Toledo is Founder of the Hellinger Institute, Canada and a leading facilitator and trainer in Family Constellations, offering workshops and trainings internationally both in-person and online. She founded the Hellinger Institute in 2011, based on a vision to open hearts and facilitate reconciliation and transgenerational healing worldwide. We discuss the philosophy of Family Constellations and how unprocessed ancestral trauma continues on in the subsequent generations. Marina shares insights into the relevance of exclusion in the family system, the concept of the “orders of love”, and how this healing method uses the phenomenological approach. We talk about the various levels of conscience - individual, family & spiritual, working with what Hellinger called the knowing field of individuals and groups, and the connection to Rupert Sheldrake and morphogenic fields. Marina shares her first experience with Constellations, and how we can in fact constellate any issue relevant to us, which may have no apparent connection to the family. She also covers the importance of working with interrupted movements towards our mother, why we sometimes need to say "no" as a practitioner, and challenging circumstances that may arise during a constellation. She also describes the skills needed to do this complex and deeply moving work well. Marina experienced her first constellation in 2002, and after years of participating in Constellations as a client in Europe and feeling significant shifts in her life, she felt called to bring this work to Canada where it was not well known. She began her training in 2009, and is certified by both Bert Hellinger and Sophie Hellinger from Hellinger Sciencia in Germany. In addition, she has studied with nine other trainers worldwide to gain an international perspective of this work, and she remains grateful to all of them. As a practitioner, Marina felt a calling to train others in this powerful methodology in order to further expand and extend the positive impact of this work. Liked what you heard?

"Pre & Perinatal Trauma Healing" with Kate White
Mar 10 2023
"Pre & Perinatal Trauma Healing" with Kate White
Kate White is a somatic trauma resolution therapist, Biodynamic craniosacral and advanced bodyworker specializing in prenatal and perinatal therapies. She specializes in healing early trauma by helping people work through and resolve the adaptive strategies initiated in their earliest years of life. Throughout her career Kate has helped to "educate professionals and the public, worldwide, that a baby’s experience of conception, pregnancy, and birth creates lifelong consequences for individuals, families, and society."  In this episode Kate gives us an overview of pre and perinatal care, her skillset in presence and reading the space between people, and the influence of pioneers in the field Ray Castellino and William Emerson. We discuss the body as memory, and the layers and imprints of pre-conception, pre-natal and birthing trauma. She shares the commonality of the "double bind" and a "stuck place" in life as a result of inherited or birth trauma. We consider the regularity of ancestral imprints and their effect on the family system. Kate addresses the importance of our self-healing, and how treating a baby is in fact treating the whole family. She also shares her insights with regards to best birthing practices such as midwifery, the role of a birth doula, and extended support of the broader family.  Since 1999, Kate has studied alongside many of the pioneers in prenatal and perinatal trauma healing, with extensive education in anatomy, physiology, neuroscience, embryology, interpersonal neurobiology, craniosacral biodynamics and somatic experiencing. She is Founder and former Director of the Department of Education for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health, and offers online training in both Prenatal and Perinatal Dynamics. Her work combines somatic therapy with brain development to help give families with babies and small children the best possible start. Liked what you heard? Help us reach more people!

"Exploring Magical Consciousness" with Dr. Susan Greenwood
Dr. Susan Greenwood is a renowned author, lecturer and shamanic practitioner in the fields of magic, anthropology and consciousness. She specializes in magic as an altered mode of awareness, well-known for her fieldwork with British witches, druids, and shamanic practitioners. A past lecturer and Visiting Fellow at Goldsmiths, University of London, she completed her PhD on British magic in 1997. We discuss how she defines magical consciousness, the importance of the experiential in relation to the theoretical, and academia’s response to subjectivity. Susan talks with us about working with altered states of consciousness, shamanic extraction versus journeying, the imagination as a doorway to other realities and the art of walking the dimensions. We talk about shamanism as humanity's first type of spiritual experience and the importance of the concept of a 'whole soul' to our health, healing and well-being. She discusses the danger of Western arrogance and the limitations of what is currently seen as knowledge. She places emphasis on the wisdom of indigenous cultures and how critical it is for us to integrate this knowledge in order to re-envision our world. Susan is perhaps best known for her writing on consciousness and magic, The Anthropology of Magic (Berg, 2009; Routledge, 2020) and her collaborative work with neuroscientist Erik Goodwyn, Magical Consciousness: An Anthropological and Neurobiological Approach (Routledge, 2017), and Developing Magical Consciousness: A Theoretical and Practical Guide for the Expansion of Perception (Routledge, 2020). She was previously a lecturer and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Sussex, where she taught courses and workshops on shamanic consciousness and altered states of consciousness for many years. Susan’s research focus is now on exploring alternative modes of knowledge through storytelling, and in particular the work of William Blake.Liked what you heard? Help us reach more people!

"The Internal Causes of Disease" with Peter Mole

"The Internal Causes of Disease" with Peter Mole
Peter Mole is one of the UK's leading practitioners of acupuncture, the Dean at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, Reading and a founding member of the Executive Committee of the British Acupuncture Council. Peter’s particular interest lies in how Chinese medicine understands how people’s internal worlds - especially their emotions - affect their physical and psychological health. He states that “Western medicine is a great system yet it lacks an understanding of how stress and distress affect people’s health. However, this is one of Chinese medicine’s greatest strengths".  We discuss the role of constitution in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), the difference between prana & qi, diagnostic methods in acupuncture and how Peter connects to and tracks the flow of qi through the needle. We cover the vital role of the emotions in health, and his experience of physical versus psycho-emotional orientations to treatment. Peter shares his thoughts on the value of finding meaningful work and loving relationships and the importance of building resilience in mind, body and emotions. He contextualizes the term Spirit in Chinese, shares a little of his personal travels in India and the importance of living in harmony with nature and the Tao. Peter is the author of "Acupuncture for Body, Mind and Spirit", directed at patients and prospective students, and co-author of the major textbook "Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture". He has lectured extensively in Europe, Israel, and the USA. Peter received an M.A. in Modern History from Oxford University. He has been practising acupuncture since 1978.Liked what you heard?

"The Layers & Levels of the Cosmos!" with Steven Forrest

"The Layers & Levels of the Cosmos!" with Steven Forrest
Our special guest for today’s New Year episode is world-renowned astrologer Steven Forrest. Steven is the author of a dozen astrological bestsellers including the classic, The Inner Sky. Over the course of his stellar career Steven has travelled world-wide teaching his brand of choice-centered Evolutionary Astrology, which integrates free will, grounded humanistic psychology and ancient metaphysics. We discuss how a person’s astrological imprint might be mapped onto their aura or energy field, how astrology is a method of understanding the hermetic adage "as above, so below" and how astrology can provide a useful roadmap to a soul's journey. Steven describes the approach of Evolutionary Astrology and how it incorporates the conditioning of past-lives to understand our karmic patterns in the current one. We discuss ways of considering how astrology works and why the moment of birth is so integral to our astrological mapping. Steven shares some of his personal journey, and how he views astrology as a path to self-knowledge. We discuss the role of the planet pluto, known as the lord of the underworld - the shamanic planet, the journey of the soul or mindstream (citta-santāna), the relationship of astrology to co-creating the evolution of consciousness and how collective or mundane astrology is performed. In this inspiring and informative conversation Steven shares how knowledge of his own astrological chart has informed and contextualized his life journey and the potential that astrology holds in empowering individuals to understand themselves and navigate life in a deeper, more meaningful way.Of Steven's work, the musician Sting says he "...manages to disarm the sceptic, as well as debunk the charlatanism that surrounds popular astrology, with language that is as intelligent and cogent as it is poetic"  whilst Rob Brezny, in his popular Real Astrology column, simply calls him “the most brilliant astrologer alive”.Liked what you heard?

"Electrical Engineering for the Body" with Dr. Dan Keown

"Electrical Engineering for the Body" with Dr. Dan Keown
Today we are joined by Dr. Daniel Keown, author of the ground-breaking book "The Spark in the Machine: How the Science of Acupuncture Explains the Mysteries of Western Medicine" (2014) and more recently “The Uncharted Body” (2019). Dan has been a practicing doctor for over twenty years, and an acupuncturist for more than a decade. In 2010 he studied alongside the renowned Dr. Wang Ju-Yi at the Institute of Channel Diagnosis in Beijing. We discuss the importance of electricity in the health and function of the body, and how the meridian channels correspond to fascial pathways that surgeons routinely use. Dan suggests that dis-ease is fundamentally about dysfunctional qi flow, likening acupuncture to electrical engineering for the body. He explains how channel palpation works in relation to diagnostics and how fascia is the primary tissue allowing electrical movement throughout the body. We discuss how shen - or spirit - is an integral component to the health and happiness of an individual, and perhaps the most important indicator of health. We explore the fascinating connection between embryology and acupuncture, morphogenetic fields, the mystery of how a single cell becomes an entire body and how the six divisions in acupuncture theory serve as embryological planes. Furthermore, we discuss the extraordinary channels and how he views chakras as nerve ganglions, or mini-brains. Dan shares his frustration with the western medical model's reductionism, where he feels it does and doesn't work, and highlights how it excels with emergency medicine. He also shares a controversial viewpoint in which he feels that western medicine is a broken system. Dan envisions a future in which acupuncture is the first line of therapy in healthcare and hospitals worldwide - providing an inexpensive, intelligent, and effective way of supporting people's health and well-being.Dan received a degree in medicine from Manchester University in 1998, and 2008 he completed a degree in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture from the College of Integrated Medicine affiliated with Kingston University, and has been a member of the British Acupuncture Council since. He practices in Tunbridge Wells, UK and runs an online teaching institute The School of Scientific Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture which he founded in 2015.Liked what you heard?

"You Open Your Heart and You Honor Your Parents" with Susan Ulfelder

"You Open Your Heart and You Honor Your Parents" with Susan Ulfelder
Today we are joined by Susan Ulfelder, Director of the Hellinger Institute of DC and both graduate and former Dean at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. We discuss Susan's current work in Family Constellations, a powerful approach to individual and family healing developed by German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger, her experience as a hands-on healer through modalities such as Polarity Therapy and Brennan Healing Science and her personal development of high sense perception (ESP). We consider the powerful process of "representation" in family constellations, and what it is to expand our focus from the perception of the individual field through to the systemic or family field. We discuss some of the more fascinating energetic dynamics of the family field such as how energetic cords or entanglements between people function, and how issues and themes travel across generations. We also cover the power of healing words and phrases in Constellation work, and Susan shares her experience with founder Bert Hellinger, who emphasised the honouring of our parents for giving us life, which restores the flow of love through generations past. Liked what you heard?

"Connecting to Who You Are" with Michael Oruch

"Connecting to Who You Are" with Michael Oruch
Joining us today is President Emeritus of the Zero Balancing Board of Directors, Michael Oruch, an established Zero Balancing teacher and practitioner based in New York City. Michael views Zero Balancing as a vehicle for health, wellness and positive change both personally and collectively, and was inspired to teach Zero Balancing (or ZB) following years of study and tutelage with the modality Founder, Dr. Fritz Smith. We discuss how Zero Balancing uses fulcrums to clear vibration held in the bone, joints and the energy field of clients, how working with bone connects to our ancestors and why releasing held tension in the body catalyzes self-reorganisation. We address the key ZB concept of "interface" - how the practitioner navigates the boundary between structure and energy through touch. Michael shares his insights regarding how healing is about accessing that which is hidden, as we free ourselves from suffering and resolve trauma in the body and the mind. Key aspects of Zero Balancing are discussed including expanded states of consciousness and what it means to “hurt good’. Interestingly, we explore how a touch-based modality can be used for remote healing through the use of surrogates.  Michael has taught Zero Balancing extensively in both the US and internationally, and has additionally spent many years studying Qigong, Tai Chi and related forms, which he has taught at New York University. He has made significant contributions to the ZB community as a Mentor Faculty Advisor, through teacher trainings, and serving on various committees. He has also personally developed three Zero Balancing classes and two Zero Balancing training DVD's. Michael believes Zero Balancing can help a practitioner to be more present and clear in the world, with themselves, and each person they contact.Liked what you heard? Help us reach more people!
