Healing is in your hands - Empower yourself through holistic healing

Picture  yourself relaxing on an anti-gravity chair, rocking your white socks,  head back, listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean. 

Your mind drifts off as the stress of day releases from your body and mind.

You are at rest in the comfort of the salt cavern, your body interacting with the salt that surrounds you.

The salts are providing your body with the support it needs in that very moment in time. 

Your session ends and you leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.  

Amazing right? 

Well  not only is it relaxing but it’s healing too. Erik and Kim welcome  guest Lisa Radzunas who breaks this salt cave phenomenon down for our  listeners one Himalayan salt granule at time.

Lisa  discusses how she came to be the owner of the Soulshine Salt Cavern,  which recently opened up at the Red Barn, in Durham, CT. Kim and Erik  have a good laugh over white socks and Lisa fills us in on all the salt  cavern has to offer.

Sit back, relax, clear your head and let’s talk salt! 

The Soulshine Salt Cavern is located at 352 Main Street, Durham, CT 06422. *In The Red Barn*

Erik and Kim welcome their first musical guest into the tree house - Hannah's Field. Hannah and Andy are a gypsy reggae band from CT that have a lot to share with the world besides their groovy music.  They crafted their sound “in the fertile  artistic landscape of the Pacific Northwest”. Portland, Oregon which is “an  area argued by many to possess the last true remnants of the hippie  movement”. Their music’s “organic feel urges listeners to embrace the  same sort of free spirit and open mindfulness championed by the  counterculture of flower children”. (-Trevor Dye review)

Is love healing? You bet. And we’re not talking about just romantic love. A chef, blogger and actress, our guest Karen Geraghty has a life purpose of bringing love to the world. Karen has dual citizenship in the USA and Ireland and currently resides in London. Her blog, Yankee Doodle Paddy is a way to stay connected to all things American and Irish while exploring the deep connection she has to her American motherland and her Irish soul-land. In February Karen hosts the “Month of Love” on the blog, where she invites guests to submit their stories of all sorts of love. (It’s not too late - Karen takes submissions up until the end).

Kim, Erik and Karen discuss self-love through health challenges, finding community through Snapchat, Karen’s Woman Crush Wednesday blog feature celebrating women chefs, and her upcoming Woman Crush Wednesday cookbook. Plus, Kim and Erik talk about their submissions to the Month of Love, and we ask the question 'Who would play Erik in a Lifetime movie?'

Donate on Karen’s GoFundMe page for the Women Crush Wednesday Cookbook. Proceeds from the sale of the book will go to the Women Chefs and Restaurateurs scholarship program. 

Try the recipe for "Healthy Breakfast Bars" aka Portable Porridge. 

Read Kim's stories "Love from the Inside Out" and "Love is a Four-Legged Word," and Erik's story "A Christmas Engagement" on Yankee Doodle Paddy.

Spiritual teacher Kristina Luce (aka Anandi) joins Erik and Kim to discuss developing a meditative practice in our fast-paced world. The conversation touches on reconciling science with spirituality, the power of mantras, and of course, meditation. There is some beautiful and powerful sacred singing at 27:40 and 42:20. (If you are driving we recommend you pull over!)

Find Kristina at spiritualvoyagers.com, on Facebook, and LinkedIn. Follow her YouTube project, The Human Experiment.

Life coach Angela Mendes joins us to talk about vision boards and other ways to counterbalance the human fight-or-flight instinct and manifest our intentions. Erik and Kim also share their experiences with vision boards over the years. (If you’ve ever thought about doing a vision board with your romantic partner, listen to these words of wisdom first!)

Bone broth - a bone-based soup simmered on low heat for a very long time - plays an important role in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and in hosts Kim Fleck and Erik Harris' healing journeys. Kim and Erik discuss Chinese Medicine theory, sourcing ethically produced and clean foods, selecting herbs, and setting intentions. Kim speaks about her commitment to animal advocacy and her struggle with accepting a necessary meat product into her diet. Plus, a live cooking demonstration and a meditation performed over the soup. To learn more about Erik’s work with herbs and wild foraging, check out episode 3: Fall Forage Walk. Visit Erik’s website, chiforhealing.com to browse his herbal formulas.

It says in the Tao Te Ching, "Forcing a project to completion, you ruin what was almost ripe." Today we were planning to publish an episode on bone broth as medicine. Appropriately enough, the Healing in Your Hands crew has been experiencing some seasonal illness. We did record an episode, but we had technical difficulties - and we didn’t want to hand our listeners a piece of unripe fruit! So for today, we’re sharing a meditative moment on its own. We’ll be back next Wednesday, December 19 with a full episode on the magical medicinal world of bone broth. Healing is in Your Hands is excited to welcome a new sponsor: The Wu Healing Center. The Wu Healing Center provides world class Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tai Chi and Qi Gong in West Hartford, Connecticut and Maynard, Massachusetts. www. wuhealing.com. Go back and listen to episode 2 to learn all about Wu Healing Center founder Dr. Ming Wu and hear from some of his patients and students (including Kim!)

In this episode, we’re exploring drumming as a tool for healing. This is something you can literally take in your hands - you don’t need to be a musician! And it’s even more powerful when a group of people are drumming together. Our guest Craig Norton offers community drum circles throughout Connecticut. He leads participatory drumming events in schools, libraries, museums, wellness programs and more. Craig also plays percussion in a variety of bands including Cosmic Hue, Bodhi Groove and Kalidasa Kirtan. He has studied or played with Babatunde Olatunji, Mickey Hart, Angelique Kidjo, Glenn Valez, and Arthur Hull, among others. Craig’s upcoming documentary on drum circles, "Rhythms of Life," is expected out in February 2019. You can watch a preview and contribute to the documentary at www.gofundme.com/rhythmsoflifedoc.
