Think About This

Jean talks about the Traditional Chinese Medicine theory called Wood Element. It the Spring element. It corresponds with the Liver and Gallbladder meridians channels. Listen in and find out some interesting facts about this time of year and how you can stay balance during this time.

We all know moving each day makes us feel better, but did you know why? Jean gives some insight on the why's. She is a "why" girl so hop on and learn something about your spine and brain.

Jean gives some insight on perfectionism and why we feel we need to be perfect in a very imperfect world. Let's face it being perfect is stressful! Did you know that shame and fear are behind being perfect? Listen in and learn a little about being flawless. 

Jean shares some insight on how challenges help us grow as individuals. What do you avoid so, you don't have to be uncomfortable is the question of the day.  

Jean loves to live by the Traditional Chinese Theory of the seasonal elements. We are ruled by the Water Element this time of year. In this water element we need to keep balance the kidney and urinary bladder meridian channels. She explains how you do that through this podcast and explain how we should be wintering at this time of year. 

What's the Vagus nerve. It is the ten cranial nerve, and it is the longest in the body. Why do you need to know about? To understand this nerve, we can bring our nervous system back to balance epically if you are stressed or have anxiety. Jean gives these very simple tools to assist you in that.

Jean shares her passion about a topic she loves... the mind. She shares her readings on the conscious/subconscious and how different they are. 

The mind is like a computer. The subconscious is the hard drive, and the conscious is the keyboard. If you feel stuck in life maybe, it's your subconscious mind holding you back. Take control of your life with a new way of thinking.

Jean shares some insight on Regret and the book The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. Do you have regret and why? Why do we do this to ourselves.... the "I should have done this" or "I wonder if" ect.  "The only way to live is to learn" Matt Haig. Every decision we make allows us to go in a direction that was meant to be. Period. No regrets. Just living. 

Jean encourages you to read this book it is very thought provoking and great for a women's book club. 

Jean explains about one of her favorite things to talk about The Chinese Traditional Medicine, Elements. The cycle of season has changed, and we are now into the Metal Element. What does that mean? When you study meridian channels, they corollate with a certain element with TCM. This time of year is about structure, boundaries and letting go. 

It also is a time of reflection, turning in and slowing down. Jean explains a little more in details on how you can go with the energy this time of year.

Jean explains the difference between conscious mind and subconscious mind. Our lives are based on thoughts, actions and awareness. It is our habits, patterns, and belief system that drive us each day.

Jean is literally obsessed with this word. Ever since she read the book "Grit" by Angela Duckworth her mindset has changed. We all have that drive within us we just have to wake it up. Grit takes courage and determination that is not something you learn it has to come from within. What she loves about this word is that it has NOTHING to do with IQ, your talent and even your job title. It comes from your soul. You have to dig deep to find it, but it is there.

Jean discusses the challenges between pleasure and pain. We all crave pleasure, and we all avoid pain. It boils down to attachment, aversion and ignorance. Remember, all of us are challenged with this. You are not alone in this nor am I. 

Our Sister Tribe 1.2 Mantra is " You are not alone". Jean explains how the tribe came up with mantra and how it goes with yoga.

We all have experienced some kind of suffering, trauma or disappointments in our lives and no one else has felt it or experienced it. But the truth is we all have had experience's and we are not alone. 

When we realize that we feel like we belong and don't feel separated any longer and begin to have self-acceptance and companion for oneself. 

Jean is very passionate about core values. She talks about why they are so important and how everyone needs to know their values. Knowing your core values help you in relationships, decision making and gives your life more meaning.
