In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Amanda Whitehead, who after years of suffering with irritable bowel syndrome, a sluggish liver, and SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth), turned to learning about alternative methods of healing, analysing what she chose to put into her body, both with the foods that she ate and the thoughts she allowed into her mind.
Through the changes she made, she was able to reverse these afflictions, leading a balanced lifestyle that suits her unique body. She now supports others in doing the same through exploring nutrition and well-being.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
We need to address the underlying issues as to what is causing imbalances, not just mask over them.Supressing emotions is unhealthy.Gut health impacts your physical health, mindset, and your emotions.There is more to healthy eating than just counting calories.In order to feel well, we need to look at what nutrients our food is giving us.Mindset is an important consideration when making changes to your diet.It is important to listen to your body’s needs.For your well-being, it is essential to be able to express emotions in a healthy way.BEST MOMENTS
“We've got to look after ourselves and we've got to nourish ourselves and we've got to feel safe.”“When I'm working with my clients I try to encourage them to actually not look at the calory content and to actually ask themselves ‘How is this nourishing my body? How is it actually fuelling my body?’”“So sometimes it's actually training your brain because at the end of the day, a lot of the addictions that we have towards food, is actually our brain that gets fixated on it.”“My passion is the gut and the liver and it's those organs that regulate pretty much everything about us.”“Actually, I need to accept that this is where I've been. This is what I've gone through. And these are possibly the reasons why I'm eating like I am, or I have the habits that I have.”“But it wasn't actually allowing me to express what I needed to express.”“We are all the experts of us because nobody else is walking in our shoes. No one knows really how you feel or what you're thinking. So, once you actually help start building their confidence and give them that power back, I think sometimes that's actually really transformational on its own.”“And we're not meant to be the same person. So, even tomorrow you're meant to be someone different. You know, you're meant to constantly be evolving and changing.”HOST BIO

“I felt like a round peg in a square hole. I loved working one-to-one with the students, but I didn't like being institutionalized.”“And I started to say yes to my soul, you know, which these souls’ callings that I had to sing, to act, so I was performing on stage, you know, this scared person found this performer and this singer.”“I found this course one day, I stumbled on this course that would train you to be an essence practitioner, but I didn't want to do the course to be a practitioner. I wanted to do the course to write the poems.”“I followed my soul's calling to be a gardener. And then I followed my soul's calling again to be an essence practitioner. And it's all about saying yes to your soul.”“I genuinely believe, and I have believed this for a long time that everybody, everybody would benefit from using essences.”“Do everything you can to become aware and to listen to your soul's whispers.”HOST BIO

“The first sort of drive we did, there was an elephant at the side of the road ripping up a tree and then eating the roots. And it was just, yeah, ever since that moment I was hooked.”“I just love seeing everything out there. And it does really ground you because…I suppose it's because it feels like it's how the old world was, if that makes sense. You know, when we first sort of, I don't want to get too philosophical about coming out of the primeval soup and all the rest of it, but it's that kind of thing, isn't it?”“And I came up with this phrase of even when there's nothing to see, I can see everything. And that was just that basic, you know, my mind was emptying out, but …I just felt at one with the ground, which is just kind of, I don't know, it sounds really spiritual and that's not really who I am, but it is in the sense of, that’s why I love the whole thing about safaris.”“People could actually take people to Africa and be in literally in the middle of nowhere and stay at an amazing lodge and stuff and have, you know, giraffes and zebra and things walking by the pool and stuff like that.”“But I think mentally, you're rejuvenated, but physically you're quite tired.”“And that's when the mind gets more creative and that's when you then start to, I guess you then become more able to see things more clearly.

“And you would have to deal with it totally different, so it was constantly challenging my mind and my abilities really.”“He said, ‘Oh, that's interesting. What do you know about hypnosis?’ I says, ‘Oh, mate, I've been fascinated. I love magic. I buy magic tricks to see how they work. I never use them. I like them to see how they work.’”“I was quite upset that I couldn't go, but then my wife said, ‘Well, just a minute, we've just had your latest payment in from the job centre and there's a note that, it's like an invoice type thing, you know, and at the bottom she says, I'm sure I've seen something. And it says there is a grant of up to 2, 500 pounds for further education.”“I always tell people when I meet them, you know, even when I'm just talking to them, I say, look, go and try to be a hypnotherapist. You'll love it.” “I speak to them in a different way in the morning. And they're actually eager to get up and go to school now, whereas they couldn't be bothered before.”“I can't worry about something I have no control over.”“Stop creating thoughts that you don't want.

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Dr Piero Calvi-Parisetti, a medical doctor, who upon hearing an anecdote about his wife experiencing poltergeist activity, began to investigate research indicating survival beyond death.
Through his personal journey of using cognitive behavioural therapy to overcome depression, Piero discovered that by becoming aware of our thought processes and exposure to new information, we have the potential to heal. This motivated him to use this understanding, alongside research, to support others experiencing grief. Piero created a resource ‘Love Knows No Death’ which he donated to the Forever Families Foundation, as a way of sharing this information.
Piero can be contacted through his website www.drparisetti.com
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Significant aspects of the human personality appear to survive death.Exposure to survival research can assist individuals with their grieving process. There is a significant amount of research into survival beyond physical death. Our thoughts create our feeling states.A belief in life after death can provide comfort and assist with grief.Being curious and having the ability to learn and explore is a beautiful part of human experience.BEST MOMENTS
“I'd say all this because to stress that I am a Western educated medical doctor, i.e. I grew up in an intellectual environment which is dominated by materialism and physicalism... a simple philosophical doctrine that maintains that everything that exists...is matter.”“Unfortunately, I did not have a spiritually transformative experience, I did not see a ghost. I did not meet God or anything. It was a simple anecdote narrated by my wife.”“Evidence tells us that personality survives physical death...we have... colossal amounts of evidence from about 12 different independent areas of investigation, all pointing coherently and consistently to this survival hypothesis.”“This information has a phenomenal, transformative potential for two categories of people, those who are in pain over the loss of a loved one, and those who are in fear over impending death, either their own or a loved one.”“I suffered from severe clinical depression for about a year and a half. Frankly, suicidal, and I was cured.”“But it was also very significant intellectually because having learned about the relationship between thoughts. and moods, thoughts, and emotions. I always thought that emotions came first and thought came later. Well, that is obviously not the case”“That death is not the end of existence, it's the end of material existence, ourselves, our mind, our memory, our thoughts, our personality, and critically for people who have had a loss, our affections go on existing after the death of the physical body.”“I encourage people to read, to learn, to study, to explore. It's beautiful.”HOST BIO

“You probably won't meet anyone as joyful and happy as me today.”“I grew up in a quite an unusual environment. It was very negative. I was always told that I was never going to be able to attain anything. I was stupid. So, I grew up, basically believing this about myself, which does not help in life.”“I went to an ashram for six months in India, away from everything, you know. I mean, this was back in 1999, so we didn't really have social media like we have now. But it was just fantastic to go to this place, and it was like a dream come true, I was meditating every day, and I was doing yoga. I met some incredible people. And I was really able to spend that time to go within myself.”“Everyone's different, you know, everyone's individual.”“Now you've come to a realisation that you do have choice within situations. How do you get yourself to that point where you recognise that? You know what? It's because my epiphany told me that all of this was illusionary, right?”“And once you've broken that loop and you've got that awareness of this, then you have choice.”But I have to say, you know, one of the most helpful things that's really helped me along my journey, is positive self-talk and recognizing negative self-talk. I do believe this is a bit of a pandemic in the world today. I believe it's responsible in some shape or form for all psychological and physical ailments. I truly believe it's very overlooked and not talked about enough, which is why I want to talk about it.”HOST BIO

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Nicola Ellwood who is a Master Coach and NLP Master Practitioner.
From an early age Nicola discovered that she had the innate skill of communicating effectively with others; something which was nurtured within her professional career, as she acquired skills in personal and leadership development. Through this work she unearthed the transformational power of coaching, assisting people to move, progress and make the changes they want to make both personally and professionally, therefore enabling them to be their best self and reach their potential.

We have the resources within us, coaching can help us access them.BEST MOMENTS
“I was asked to manage a team of coaches and that's where I discovered coaching. And, and I just loved it, and I thought, right, well, if I'm going to manage it, I kind of need to know the depth of it. I really want to know what it is that I'm talking about.”“When you're dealing with personal coaching, you're dealing with the person's life. So, if you're not skilled, competent, and flexible with the breadth of tools, techniques and the ability to be completely client centred, then you're doing your client a disservice, potentially, because you're muddying it with your lens or your experience or your world.”“Sometimes if you're quite people centred, you're quite externally validated.”“To have, you know, almost someone telling me that my instinct was right. It was the first time where I ever really tuned in and became more congruent with myself.”“I choose to work in the executive leadership space because my belief is if I can use who I am and if I can use my skills to help people, towards the top of the organization, then that's going to filter through the organization, it's going to affect more people.”“Many people come to me wanting to thrive, you know, believing, that presupposition that we hold, which is, you know, whatever we think we are, we are capable of so much more, you know, we're so much more than we think we are.”“I would say you already have it within you, whatever it is that you want, whatever it is that you think you need, you already have it. Ask yourself what you want and ask yourself a time when you've had it before because it's pretty likely that you've had it before. You have all the resources within you to be who you want to be."HOST BIO

“But I went with it and researched it, and I found that they helped me, you know, I say that fluorite saved my life, you know, that's how much, how strongly I believe in them.”“That's how it felt, isn't it? It definitely feels like there's something behind the scenes, like there's something orchestrating it all.”“And I just said, it's okay to have a breakdown. It's just the universe's way of making you stop Nikki. And I said, but you will come out this and you'll see the world different. You'll see it with a through different eyes, everything will seem brighter and better.”“But when Sharon spoke to me for the first time, I heard it. If you know what I mean, it resonated with me what she was saying. Nobody else had sort of got through to me. And it was just a strange feeling. And then I went back in the house, and I can remember saying to my partner, I trust her. I don't know who she is, but I trust her, and I love her.”“I don't know what it is, but I felt like, there was an instant recognition there. It was like I knew her. I already knew her.

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Joanna Waddell who is a counsellor, and a breathwork and meditation teacher.
After rushing around and attempting to do it all, Joanna became ill with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). As she began to search for answers to assist with her recovery, she came to realise that we are encouraged to spend so much time being busy that we spend little time on our self-care.

“I found myself listening to their stories. It felt really important to listen to people's stories. And I found I worried that I didn't know how to listen appropriately to people's stories.”“And then I was kind of doing self-care, sort of tacked on to the end of a very long day if I had anything left. And yeah, I just started to become really ill. I got brain fog, that was so bad. I couldn't recognize people's faces. I couldn't drive. I was so exhausted.”“I felt a great deal of shame about getting so sick when I kind of should have known better because I was caring for other people's mental health and the knock-on effects on their physical health and yet managed to get so ill myself.”“And so, I sort of created it as, you know, a gentle way of living for people, for communities, and for the planet.”“I realized that actually a big part of what people need is community and, places to be together with other people who, you know, want to live more gently, to sort of share ideas, but also to learn practices of rest.”“Whereas now I if I have those sorts of playful thoughts, I think that's what my body's asking for you know and go and do it.”HOST BIO

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Samantha Dolling who is a medical herbalist, reader, energy healer, and witch.
During their discussion Sam notes how she has been drawn into researching the lives of witches throughout history and has developed a calling to heal the witch wound within herself and within others. Sam highlights that the historical treatment of witches still has an impact and plays a role within modern society, with many individuals feeling afraid to tune into their energy, wisdom and magic due to the perception of others.
To help overcome this, Samantha notes that it is important to connect in with what you enjoy, find like-minded individuals that you can share openly with, and also to do the self-healing work that you require.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There has been a re-emerging interest in witches and witchcraft in recent times.Healing the witch wound is a re-occurring theme that comes up within the therapy setting and within the life of many individuals. Healing past life trauma can help release the witch wound.Working on healing the self is part of the ascension path.As we heal, we step into our power.Life is about finding out what you enjoy and connecting into that.BEST MOMENTS
“I think it's one of those subjects isn't it that everyone, you know, most people have some kind of interest in witches, whether it be the Disney side of things, or the magic or nature, because it seems to thread through so many different layers of things, doesn't it?”“They were just women who were natural healers and midwives, herbalists, and people who knew that there was energy.”“And you know, these doors are opening, but they're opening as well because we're moving through a time where we need to heal karma. You know, we need to rid everybody of all their karma so we can move into a more peaceful way of living.”“And these women are our ancestors, you know, we're all connected, all of us, and these are real women with real children and real lives.”“There's no wonder that many of us who have come down to earth at this time are here to find our voice again.”“The water holds energy and consciousness, the trees, you know, it's all just energy, whether we call it, energy or whether we call it quantum physics, science. It's the same thing, isn't it? It's just different ways of practicing and there's no right way and no wrong way, you know, we're all different, but we all have something to give.”“We're all supposed to be in jobs and living our life with things that are fun. You know, we're not meant to be doing a job from eight till six every day that we absolutely detest just to pay for the roof over our head.”HOST BIO

Stuart came to Reiki 16 year ago when his wife had a treatment. Upon seeing instant improvement, they embarked upon their reiki training journey, setting their intention on helping and supporting as many others as possible.

“I cannot help every single one, but we can help one. And if each of us help one person, I'm sure we'd make the place, you know, the world a better place.”“At the time my wife had, problems with her mental health, and it helped her change the way thinking more or less overnight.”“And then when you’ve taught them all they need to know, they completely change. You become more confident, more outgoing, you know, and that's the whole idea of these things.”“And when she passed away, it was, I will honestly say, it was some of the darkest times of my life ever. And then I sat there one night thinking, well, yeah, okay, I've lost somebody, but they have as well. So, the students have lost a mentor, a friend, a confidant, that sort of thing. So, I went back and opened the doors, and it was one of the hardest things I've done.”“Reiki gives you that bit of extra confidence.”“Healers need healing too. It's as simple as that. We are not infallible; we are only human. For me, there's five, ten minutes, you know, sitting down, cup of coffee, hand on your heart, just topping your energy up.”HOST BIO

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with John Bowtell who helps individuals explore their emotions through the use of drama and play using developmental transformations.
Through his theatre background, John became aware of dramatherapy, a type of psychotherapy; and how the intentional use of drama techniques and ideas could assist in the therapeutic encounter.
During his work with his clients, John becomes a part of the unfolding drama to safely co-create the experience with his clients, exploring whatever roles or scenarios are relevant to meet their therapeutic needs at that time.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
We play different roles within our daily life.Through the use of drama therapy, we can work through what is stuck mentally or emotionally to transform it into something different.Drama therapy can be a safe way to explore aspects of ourselves that we do not feel able to show the rest of the world.Through dramatherapy, an individual can not only explore their obstacles but also how to successfully move away from them.Drama therapy can be used to explore different power structures within our lives and within society.Play is important for wellbeing.BEST MOMENTS
“It's something that kind of comes naturally. So, I think of drama as an art form. It's the one that's closest to normal life. So actually, we're all doing, you know, we're doing an improvisation now. We're playing our roles, we're performing. This is very natural human activity.”“But in order to do your role effectively, it's going to change in relation to your client. So, the way that you show up for one client is different from the way you show up for another client.”“It's much more fun playing the bad guys, playing the people that you're not, right? And you can then present aspects of yourself that are not socially acceptable or they're not potentials that you can bring forward in your everyday life.”“These things, if they're unexplored or unexpressed, then they can cause blockages in us.”“Basically, we agree it's pretend. We agree that it's play. It's not for real. That's the deal. It's defined by restraining from harm.”“This is a kind of everyday miracle to me. That however heavy the material is, actually it can all be played with, and it can all be transformed.”HOST BIO

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Nawab Pasnak, the head of the International Sufi Movement.
During this conversation Nawab will discuss how he came to learn about the Sufi movement and how this led him to be a seeker of wisdom as he embarked on a process of purification, unlearning preconceptions and dogmas that he had been carrying around with him.
Nawab focuses on the importance of working on ourselves, unlearning the preconceptions and limiting beliefs that hold us back so that we can connect in to love, hope, and joy. A significant aspect of this is through connection to the breath and our intuition guiding us to recognise we are all connected.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The attitudes and assumptions that we learn throughout life can become a barrier to true connection with ourselves.When working on the heart it encourages compassion, kindness, generosity and acceptance.For our happiness, we need to recognise that we can control our mind, and we can change it.Our breath is a current of energy that flows through us which his directed through our words, thoughts, actions and feelings. When we listen to our intuition, we discover a connection that we are part of everything and everything is part of us.BEST MOMENTS
“So if we think that Sufi is about wisdom, then it means that it's someone who is looking for wisdom, not somebody who claims to have wisdom, because anybody who says they're wise is obviously a fool.”“There's a couple of chronic illnesses that the world suffers from right now. One is that we think too much, or we overthink everything. Another is that we're extremely materialistic. We try to quantify and measure everything, and it's all in terms of our sensory experiences, which is always limited, that can only take you so far. And the third illness, common chronic illness that we suffer from, that the world suffers from, is to have a frozen heart.”There's meant to be a stream, a well that flows out of the heart, but you have to dig for it, because often the well has been, you know, there's a lot of sediment in there, and you have to dig down. And if you're willing to do the work and get through the mud that you do encounter when you start to excavate your heart, then in time the stream flows, and that flowing helps to purify the channel.”“If you're playing with a child, if the child says something rough or hurtful, well, you wish they would behave better, and you try to teach them better behaviour, but you don't feel crushed because a child says something rude to you. Well, in fact, most of the world, with all love and respect to them, they're still children."“The spirit of guidance works on different levels. On the physical level, spirit of guidance, you could say is about reflexes... When the Spirit of Guidance speaks through what we call our mind, we call it intuition. And if we listen, our hearing becomes sharper. We begin to hear more messages.”HOST BIO

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Carol and Don Harradine who practice Tai Chi, Qigong, and a range of Malaysian arts.
A number of years ago Carol suffered an injury during a sword fencing competition. Looking for gentle exercise to aid her recovery, she stumbled upon a Tai Chi class. After they both attended the classes, they were amazed by the benefits, which encouraged them to pursue 33 years of studying various energetic wellbeing practices. As part of this journey they have followed the Sufi path, helping them to incorporate a spiritual element to everything they do.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Tai Chi and Qigong can be used for spiritual development, health and wellbeing, concentration and self-discipline.We get the most benefit when we practice any well-being and healing practices regularly. Having an awareness of the breath helps with healing and balance within the system.There is an overlap and a connection between different philosophies and forms of well-being practice.The breath is the essence of everything.BEST MOMENTS
“So there's no excuses anymore for people saying, I can't do that. As long as you can sit up straight or lie straight or whatever, you can breathe and you can concentrate, then you can do qigong, tai chi.”“It's really trying to be a pupil of humans because what you have to do is you listen to people and find out what they want to achieve, what we think they need. And then we try to give them that. It's easy being a teacher, but the truth of it is, you've got to go back and you've got to be a pupil, you've got to study and you've got to study the people that come along to you.”“If you can breathe properly, if you can just imagine for a while that what you're breathing in is not just gas and chemicals, but it's an energy.”“So you're breathing that energy in. And then you're moving that energy around the body, and you know, and some people take it further, they move the energy around and they give it to other people.”“Trust me, your mind wanders off and you have to bring it back. It's one of the most hardest things. So all of this is teaching you willpower to do that.”“To get the real benefits, you have to do a little bit very often, a little bit, and the old Chinese masters always say, it's like putting down a piece of rice paper on the ground, put a bit down one day, two days, three days. After a year, you can actually see you've got a pile of paper.“So, when you start to think about your thoughts, and then to say those thoughts, you have to have breathe to say the thoughts, to say the words, and that then gives you the impetus for the good deeds."“Get to the nuts and bolts of them all and dig deep. You'll find the same message and philosophy going through the whole thing.”“Live your life by that, good thoughts, good words, resulting good deeds.”HOST BIO

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Heidi Dawson, a coach and therapeutic practitioner who works with both individuals and within the corporate world.
As part of what she does, she works alongside her team of horses to help others to heal and learn about themselves as they explore a range of different areas such as social and emotional development, mental health, wellbeing, leadership, and team development.
Heidi believes that horses are the epitome of emotional intelligence, being able to see into our souls; this allowing for authentic interaction, providing a safe space for individuals to explore who they are.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Horses and animals are adept at reading our energy.By tuning into our emotional intelligence and what our bodies are telling us, it can help us to find solutions and move forward. Being with the horses creates a safe space to explore emotions. Animals can communicate with us to show us what we need to know about ourselves and each other.We are all connected to one another energetically.We can influence our environment by working on ourselves.BEST MOMENTS
“Ironically it was a riding accident that, because I haven't really done anything with horses for many years apart from every now and again go through a ride with a couple of friends. And on this occasion, I had a hideous accident, ended up in being airlifted to hospital.”“They just see into our souls. And they require us to be authentic because they don't know how to be anything other than that. And they're the epitome of emotional intelligence as well.”“That's just something special to be around that kind of energy and what they need from us is for us to get out of our heads and work with our own emotional intelligence and listen to what our bodies are telling us.”“They can't do role play. They don't, it isn't on their agenda. They don't know how to do it. So, every interaction is completely genuine and honest.”“The horses were where I found my safe place, so I just used to ignore the horrid girls who were picking on me and just go and spend time in a field or a stable with a horse and I was as happy as Larry and they just create that safe space.”“We've got a great connection. And so, I kind of feel what they're showing me and what they're telling me, but, and I've always assumed it's just because I've grown to know them.”“And that's something that I believe very strongly, that on that energetic level, we are all connected and anything that I do in the here and now ripples out and affects, you know, completely everybody and everything.”“I think the main one for me is get out of your head and listen to what your body is telling you about the situations that you find yourself in and the relationships that you find yourself in. Really tune into those gut instincts and listen to your emotional intelligence.”HOST BIO

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Emma Chandler, a bodywork practitioner who specialises in massage and yoga, looking at how the nervous system interplays with the muscles and joints.
Emma always had a passion for helping others, initially wanting to train as a nurse, however opting to study chiropractic’s. After suffering from a broken bone, she was re-directed into hands on work in the form of massage; adapting her practice to support the clients she worked with within the family therapy practice.
A big lesson for Emma has been to learn the balance between giving and maintaining personal boundaries, something which many of us have to learn how to navigate.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Yoga can be for anyone.Taking time to look after your body should be seen as a necessity rather than a luxury.The body is a complex system that can be impacted in lots of different ways.Having a safe and supportive space to explore your wellbeing can be transformational.It is important that people feel listened to and heard.Self-responsibility is an important aspect of healing.In order to help others, we can’t do the work for them. They need to be ready and willing to put the effort in.BEST MOMENTS
“I wanted to, like, practice yoga and even become a yoga teacher for a long time but didn't think that I would be able to do it.”“And I just took up the thing of studying it (yoga) and kind of fell in love with it and then started teaching it within the practice from a sort of functional perspective and movement perspective because that's obviously what we're all about.”“I think working within sort of like the spinal health and chiropractic clinic, it helped me see the body from sort of the nervous system perspective as well and how the joints and the bones work and how all the muscles really truly attach and move and everything.”“I was one of those people that thought that you know, you had to be a certain person to go and do yoga. You know, you had to be able to stick your leg behind your head and everything like that.”“And yoga is, it's about the movement. It's about the breath, but everybody is different, and everybody can adapt it and it literally is for everybody and can be for everybody.”“I think first and foremost, your true passion has to be about helping people.”“It's a hard journey, isn't it? It is hard, and sometimes you still, feel like,’ Am I doing the right thing here? Am I, or am I being mean?’”“You have your body for life, so you need to take care of it. Your body takes care of you. You need to take care of it.”HOST BIO

The healing journey is an ongoing process.Having a safe space to explore who you are can allow you to come to your own conclusions.We can change our timeline and that of the collective for the better.BEST MOMENTS
“I do try to kind of keep the mind, body, soul aspect, depending on a person’s personality, like where they'll resonate the most, you know, cause some people it will be with the body, they want to physically release something. Some people will be with the mind, so we can do like guided meditations and stuff, and some people are on a real, you know, spiritual level where it really is just a spiritual healing.”“I'm finding that at the moment I'm definitely attracting like the women who are already on a precipice of knowing I'm changing, I'm evolving, there's something more out there that I need to discover. Maybe just a little bit, feeling a little bit mundane, maybe in ordinary lives and stuff. So it's, it's women who are already intrigued, who are already interested in sort of I can move it to the next level or something like that.”“It fills you up and just to watch, you know, humanity, just make this leap forward in consciousness.”“But being in a space where you're held, where you're listened to, where you're not questioned, where you're not said, oh no you're wrong, don't say that. And it's just a sense of, like, unleashing something inside people that they just feel they're so empowered.”“I often wonder in society, what would society be like if we actually nurtured each other to be our own expressive, unique selves, rather than putting all of those confines and constraints on each other.”“We've got another aspect of ourselves over here, who is I'm called the wild person, the wild person that is saying, I'm not this person with the mask, I am this, I am that, I want to be free.”HOST BIO

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Ana who reads the tarot. Ana, who is from Brazil, was brought up to explore various healing traditions, her father being a healer within their community. From a young age, this opened her up to the complexities of how our energy and intentions have an impact on our wellbeing.
When Ana was first guided to read the tarot, she was initially overwhelmed, unsure as to how this would be incorporated into her life. Over time however she began to find it an insightful tool to create a picture and to tell stories to guide the individuals that she worked with. Over time she developed additional skills such as studying astrology which she incorporates into her readings.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Having a reading can help to give confirmation about how we feel and where we want to go within our lives.A good quality tarot reading can help to show us what we need to know or what is playing out within our subconscious mind.To learn the tarot takes time and patience.When tuning in to another’s energy, or giving a reading, it is important that the practitioner is in a good place mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Astrology can give a lot of insights into a person’s character, their past and the challenges that they face.Tarot cards work best when they are read in conjunction with one another to give a deeper insight.BEST MOMENTS
“I think that it was back in 2014, one of my guides said to me, you need to start being very prepared because you are going to be a healer of healers and then I was just like, oh my God, you must be joking.”“I think, I believe that it's the most precious thing that I ever came across in my life because it shows exactly what the eyes cannot see, you know? So, shows things about the subconsciousness. It shows like really, really everything that it's behind.”“You must be joking. I'm not going to buy tarot cards. And they were like, yes, you are going to buy tarot cards. And then I got really upset. You know what I mean? Because my first deck, I was just open it. And then I was just spreading the cards and I couldn't read anything. And I was just like, why are you doing that to me?”“But nowadays when I spread the cards in there, I see as they become like motion pictures.”“My father was a healer. So, six years old he was already like initiated me. Nine years old I was already like giving Reiki to people. So, they are like, it's studying and studying. I'm someone that studies a lot, quantum mechanics, archetypes. I study numerology, astrology.”“You know, every single card, it's so precious on its own and has its own, like, story to tell.”HOST BIO

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Zoe Smart who is a creative mindful practitioner who works with children to access and understand their feelings and emotions, using mindfulness-based practices to assist with this.
During this conversation Zoe highlights that we all have our struggles and difficulties, but we are not taught how to effectively deal with these from being young. Zoe believes that if we were, we would be able to regulate our emotions with increased ease which would in turn improve our connection with ourselves and others.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Emotions are there to give us a message.When we understand the messages that emotions give us, we can make positive changes.Mindfulness based techniques can help us to regulate our emotions and reactions.Emotions are transitory.We are not our behaviours.We can learn from our mistakes.Other people feel similar things to what we feel at different times of our lives.BEST MOMENTS
“I just think it, for anybody, it can only be a good thing to understand yourself better and be kind to yourself as well.”“Just think from my own experience as well, of having mental health conditions from, so I had OCD from when I was six, and it's been a very hard journey for me. And we didn't have the kind of understanding, or it was like, ‘Oh, don't cry’.”“We're not alone. We all feel like this sometimes. Because I think that was a huge thing for me, actually, when I was little, I thought I was the whole world, like, and I just felt like nobody understood. I was all on my own, but we all have our struggles, and we all have our things.”“I think often we can be so critical and so harsh on ourselves. Far harsher than we would be if anyone else came to speak to us and said they were having a problem.”“You can't always control external life events but what you've always got that you can control and keep your power with is how you choose to think, feel and react.”“And you just think it's such a shame. I think because of the school system and how I feel really sorry for them because I know they try really hard, the teachers, but obviously there's so many children with different learning styles and different interests and not everybody is going to fit into that umbrella.”“Do you need a little cry? What do you need? Why are you here? Is there a reason you're visiting me?”HOST BIO

In today’s episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with David, a yoga practitioner who is also an experienced nurse and mental health practitioner.
David initially began his yoga practice for fitness, in time noticing that the benefits went way beyond this, assisting with mental and emotional wellbeing, and spiritual connection.
During this conversation, David discusses the parallels he has made between the medical model and within therapeutic and energetic practices such as yoga and different types of therapy, noting how these can play a vital role in supporting our health and well-being.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There is often an overlap between different types of therapies and well-being practice.When we resist life’s circumstances, we struggle. We have innate wisdom within us to heal and release.Acceptance is an important aspect of healing.When we take care of our needs, it is easier to make better judgements and decisions.It is important to be able to honour and release different emotions.BEST MOMENTS
“I see it in the way we respond when we have to go into a particular posture in yoga or one of the asana. This, and a lot of the grounding techniques that we accept, you know, that calm the nervous system, science recognizes them, they have been around for millennia.”“I think we still have the wisdom; I think innately we have it; I think it's ingrained. If you look at animals and kids for instance, like if a dog's stressed and it gets away and shakes off, doesn't it? You know, we do that as humans, but we kind of stop ourselves doing it because of the way we might look, you know, or how we're perceived.”“I mean the asana, the postures themselves, there's no hierarchy in them. So, I struggle in Sukhasana, which is easy pose. I struggle in that. But these postures I think are meant to represent the challenges in life. You know and completing them isn't the aim, it's how you respond to them.”“The most important relationship in the world is with yourself.”“And that's what suffering is, isn't it? It's resistance.”“And the more we do this, these little maintenance things for our lives, whether it is exercise, sleep, hydration, you know, co-regulation, you know, being with others, these little, tiny things, what that does to you is it affirms you, and you're then able to make better, more well-informed judgments and decisions.”HOST BIO
