Beyond Cancer Conversations Janelle Shoebridge

Find a quiet space where you can be uninterrupted while you complete this mediation. I suggest listening to this mediation when you are called to spend time in nature, feeling stress or anxiety, or simply wanting to relax into your body. In this episode, you will go within yourself; your body will heal, you will find joy, peace, tranquillity, abundance and happiness. 

Having a connection with nature is having a relationship with self as we are a manifestation of nature – giving our appreciation and time to nature leads to the balance of disharmony built up in our bodies, and with harmony comes healing and ultimate health. This episode is about how humans can use nature to heal physically and mentally. 

In this episode, we cover gender terms, what it means to be transgender, the physical transition options, common questions, things to say to a loved one who is transgender, and how important acceptance is.
