Anam Cara Energy Healing – Details, episodes & analysis

For some time I have wanted to go on a personal retreat from people, devices, distractions and my familiar surroundings. Inspired by my partner, I took myself off to an island to stay alone and most importantly include a long fast.

I found somewhere quiet, three hours away from where I live and stayed four nights.

The purpose was to have an inward journey to investigate my most important issues and bring to light the conditioning beneath the surface.

This episode is a recording made at various intervals during those four days in isolation and without food.

This episode is about discovering your innate ability to self-sense the energy system, with expert Janell Rae. We talk about the nature of the human energy system and its relationship with the physical body. Janell uses her near 30 years experience as a healer to guide you towards sensing your own body.

She explains that everyone has an innate sensing ability and shares a simple technique for bringing your awareness into patterns, places of stuck-ness and discomfort.

She also sheds light on how resistance and interruption from the mind is a useful tool to focus on what most needs our healing attention.

A secular meditation sign posting listeners to a special place in the heart, where you can feel safe and secure.

Simon introduces this episode with a personal story about overcoming his survival issues and explains why people often feel unsafe in the world today.

From the moment of separation at birth, we are constantly looking for a safe place. When this is no longer provided for us by our parents or if there is a family trauma that interferes with the nurturing process we actively seek a safe haven.

Often we look for someone else to provide this safe place for us, usually in our relationships, but this can put a huge strain on us and the other person.

Ultimately, we have to find our own secure place and no longer rely on others.

Meditating in the spiritual heart is a helpful support for this journey of self enquiry and particularly useful during times of anxiety, low mood, constant worry and depression.

Low mood, excessive worrying, anxiety and depression are the result of our Survival Issues getting the better of us. The majority of Survival Issues are stored in the Root Chakra and Second Chakra and this guided meditation shows you how to work on clearing them using the power of universal love.

The meditation asks you to welcome feelings of low mood, worry, anxiety and depression as old friends, which is a healing technique designed to change the way your mind attaches itself to Survival Issues.

By finding love in your heart and sending it to heal Survival Issues in either the Root or second chakras, you can start moving them away from being centre stage in your energy system.

Any movement of Survival Issues in your energy body allows you to physically relax and gain a renewed sense of freedom.

This episode is dedicated to giving you a new perspective of the meaning of love.

It takes us away from seeing love as a personal possession and into an understanding of love as a universal form.

Listening will move you into an intimate conversation with your heart where you will find the light of Divine energy residing within.

Author and researcher Dr Dawson Church recently published a ground-breaking book about meditation called 'Bliss Brain'  making him the ideal guest to talk about meditation.

We launched in the big question from the start. Is meditation a spiritual practice or simply brain training? Dawson had much to say in answering this core question.

We then talked about what happens to the brain during meditation and Dawson outlined his unique stack of seven mind and body techniques found in his popular 'EcoMeditation' guided practice.

Here are the links talked about during the podcast:

The magical and somewhat mysterious Yew tree is known to help support us through the grieving journey. Simon talks about this healing aspect of Yew and its ancient connection to the creation cycle. 

Yew is also synonymous with Winter Solstice as it acts a a still-point in the forest, very much like the celestial pause the sun appears to make around the shortest day of the year.

Recorded live in ancient woodland for authenticity, meaning it includes all the natural and unnatural sounds found in the landscape.

Simon explains why Autumn is the traditional time of the year to connect to your ancestors and why this is a helpful practice.

Created to coincide with outdoor ceremonies, this episode takes you on a journey to your internal ancestral land.

It includes practical tools and a guided meditation explaining how to use your navel to make a profound ancestral connection.

The intention is for listeners to build it into a practice of creating an altar space for ancestors and using it to ask for wisdom and guidance.

This is particularly helpful when going through the grieving process.
