    How to Manage the Symptoms of Anxiety Instantly

    How to Manage the Symptoms of Anxiety Instantly

    Episode 38
    What is anxiety??
    Well that's an extremely nuanced subject and it's obviously extremely hard to answer especially in a short Podcast episode.
    What is a little easier to explain is what happens to you on a biological level when you suffer from this often debilitating condition.
    Once you understand the mechanism of action involved you will have a much better understanding on what you can do to manage it.
    Whether you suffer from anxiety, stress, panic attacks or you are just generally of a nervous disposition having this understanding really can help you to mitigate the effects of anxiety disorder and in many cases you can even solve the problem completely.
    It's all about managing your nervous system, something which we all have the power to control with just a few simple breathing exercises and the added bonus is that their effects are often immediate.
    It's not only backed by science but by our very own biology.
    Your nervous system is intrinsically linked to the way in which you breath. Most of the population allow their nervous system to dictate how they breathe and in turn how they feel, usually at their detriment.
    Well, I'm here to tell that shouldn't be the case, we can reverse this issue and take control of our nervous system and in turn the way that we feel, simply by breathing with intention for 10-15minutes a day.
    The positive health benefits really cannot be understated and it is my strong belief that everyone of us would benefit a great deal by adding this to our daily routine.

    Sacred Insights: My Ayahuasca Experience

    In this week's episode, I invite you to embark on a deeply personal odyssey as I share my transformative encounters with ayahuasca. From the depths of my own consciousness to the boundless realms of spiritual exploration, join me as I recount the profound insights, challenges, and revelations that unfolded during my experience.

    But my ayahuasca experience was not just about personal exploration—it was also a profound lesson in humility, surrender, and reverence for the wisdom of indigenous cultures and the interconnectedness of all beings.
    So, whether you're a seasoned psychonaut or simply curious about the healing powers of plant medicine, join me on this unforgettable odyssey as we explore the transformative potential of ayahuasca and the profound mysteries of the human psyche.

    This Life is Not a Dress Rehearsal

    This Life is Not a Dress Rehearsal

    Episode 36 is an episode with a difference. Today as I went to upload my planned episode Apple photos had other ideas.
    It suggested an old video that I posted on social media back in January 2023. Back then it led to some great engagement. It certainly got a few of my loyal followers thinking about life.
    In the last 10years I have gone through an enormous shift in what I put importance on, don’t get me wrong I am extremely grateful to have had a successful career in my earlier adult life, it brought me a lot of materialistic rewards, but now it’s all about making memories, experiencing things that I love, spending time with my family and making tough decisions to ensure that happens.
    life is not a dress rehearsal, there aren’t any do overs so make every moment count.
    I hope you enjoy the show, please comment, like share and if possible please rate the show on whichever podcast app you may be listening, help us beat the algorithm

    Unconscious Words

    Unconscious Words

    In Episode 35 of "Alternative Experience," we embark on a journey deep into the realm of unconscious language and its profound impact on our lives. Beyond the surface of our conscious thoughts and spoken words lies a hidden world of linguistic influence that can shape our very biology.
    Join us as we unravel the intricate connection between language and biochemistry. How do the words we unconsciously choose to speak and think trigger physiological responses in our bodies? From subtle shifts in tone to ingrained patterns of self-talk, we'll explore how language acts as a silent conductor, orchestrating the symphony of hormones and neurotransmitters that govern our well-being.
    But it's not just about understanding the mechanics of this intricate dance. We'll also delve into the practical implications of harnessing the power of unconscious language to cultivate health, happiness, and resilience in our lives. How can we reprogram our subconscious minds to speak a language of healing and empowerment?
    From the groundbreaking research in psychoneuroimmunology to ancient wisdom traditions that have long recognized the link between language and health, we'll draw upon a diverse array of perspectives to paint a comprehensive picture of the transformative potential that lies within our words.
    So, tune in as we navigate the labyrinth of unconscious language, uncovering its hidden power to shape our biology, influence our emotions, and ultimately, redefine our reality. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, prepare to be enlightened by the profound insights awaiting you in Episode 35 of "Alternative Experience."

    Talk Therapy

    Talk Therapy

    In Episode 34 of Alternative Experience, I delve into the age-old debate: Is modern talk therapy a boon or a barrier to personal growth? Join me as I explore the nuances of talk therapy, its effectiveness, and whether the continuous rehashing of problems without a clear end goal truly serves our well-being.
    I examine the traditional model of talk therapy, where individuals often find themselves endlessly dissecting their issues with no apparent resolution in sight. Does this cyclical approach lead to progress, or does it inadvertently perpetuate feelings of stagnation and frustration?
    I also weigh the benefits and limitations of talk therapy in various contexts and explore alternative therapeutic modalities that prioritise actionable goals and tangible outcomes, offering a fresh perspective on navigating mental health challenges.
    Listeners are invited to reflect on their own experiences with talk therapy and consider alternative approaches that may better align with their goals and aspirations.
    Ultimately, this episode intends to spark a thought-provoking conversation about the role of therapy in our quest for healing, growth, and self-discovery.
    Tune in to Episode 34 of Alternative Experience to uncover the truth behind talk therapy and discover new insights into cultivating mental and emotional well-being.

    Do Doctors Know They Are Working in a Broken System??

    Do Doctors Know They Are Working in a Broken System??

    I wrote a series of articles last year on Substack about the state of modern medicine.
    Surgery aside, I have always held a low opinion to mainstream mecicine, which is almost exclusively based on matching various pills and potions to whatever symptoms are being suffered.
    This opinion hasn’t improved.
    In this follow up podcast I discuss why I think it’s worse than I had originally thought as I ask the question, do doctors know that the system that they work in, is so broken?
    Surely with their deep knowledge of the human body, along with the deteriorating health of the population they must know something is not right?
