Healing is in your hands - Empower yourself through holistic healing – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Friends, it's been a beautiful journey. Our podcast is coming to an end, as Kim and Erik each go on to pursue new and exciting projects. In this final episode, our producer Andrea Muraskin joins us to look back at some of our favorite episodes and guests that made us laugh and cry, and some that frankly blew our minds! You'll also get updates on some of our guests' new work and reflections on what we've learned about ourselves in the past 2+ years.

In Chinese medicine there's a concept called wei qi - a kind of energetic barrier that protects us from pathogens. In this episode, Erik introduces a variety of tools and techniques that you can use at home to help boost your wei qi and prevent infection as the weather gets colder. Included in the discussion are guasha (skin scraping), fire cupping, moxabustion, herbs and vitamins. You'll also learn how to make your own immunity tincture. This recording was excerpted from a lecture given at Collaborative Natural Health Partners in Manchester, CT in October 2019.  Stay tuned at the end for a meditative moment focused on immunity.

Kim is taking a health and wellness break so we decided to bring you the recording of a lecture that Erik gave last summer at the Red Barn in Durham, CT, entitled the "Four Pillars of Optimal Health." (Please excuse the whirring sound -that's the air conditioner kicking in- it was hot that day!) Erik delivered this talk with people with chronic pain and chronic illness in mind, but the information can apply to anyone.  Some pillars may be familiar, some not so much. And If you've been wondering about the diverse modalities Erik uses with his clients, this episode is for you! Enjoy.

In this episode, Kim goes on a 6,000-mile round trip journey to Northern Ireland to meet our incredible guest, Amanda McTaggart. Amanda has a rare connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS).  EDS affects every function in Amanda's body and causes severe pain, dislocations, heart problems, stomach issues, sleep disturbance, lack of concentration and overall poor mobility. She has a long list of other severe conditions that are connected to her EDS. Amanda’s situation is so severe that she is at risk of rupturing any large organ or artery at any time. Her five year-old son Ethan also exhibits some traits of this condition.  Despite all this, as you'll hear, Amanda is warm, bright and resilient.  There are no specialists who can treat Amanda's condition in Ireland, so she must travel to London every eight weeks to meet with her medical team. Amanda's treatment is not covered by the British National Health System, so she relies on crowdfunding to keep going. Visit Amanda's Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/action4amanda/) for updates and her Go Fund Me (https://www.gofundme.com/f/action-4-amanda) page to help out. Get in touch at action4amanda@hotmail.com.  Do you or someone you love have EDS? If so let us know. We want to hear about your journey and how Amanda’s story touched you. You can use the Anchor app to leave us an audio message. Or, use your phone’s voice memo app to record a message and email it to us at healingisinyourhands@gmail.com. We’d love to hear from you, and you may hear yourself on a future episode of Healing is in Your Hands. Production of Healing is in Your Hands is by Andrea Muraskin with musical interludes by Craig Norton.  Our meditative moment this time is by Nicole Thorp. Erik Harris will be back next episode!  Follow us on all our social platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and on Snapchat at Feral20 and Earthwalker11
