Nature The Drug of Choice Valerie Grimes, Clinical Hypnotist

Nature the drug of choice and more specifically a human’s nature.

There is nothing more natural than what the hormone system of the body does, especially related to the hormonal changes during a woman’s 30-60s.

But rather than relaxing into it most women resist and dread those years of menopause, aging, and all that goes with that.

However, dreading and fearing only reinforce the neg effects as a self fulfilling prophecy especially when you add in the identification and association factors of what a woman’s mother and grandmother told her about Menopause.

Listen to our conversation about MENOPAUSE AND HYPNOSIS with Dr Kate Naumes, ND.

Dr. Naumes specializes in menstrual and hormone health for women, helping her clients live healthy, vibrant lives from preconception through menopausal stages. Her deep knowledge of the female hormonal journey enables her to create highly tailored and effective healthcare solutions that cater to her clients’ unique needs.

She holds a Doctorate in Naturopathy and a BA in Biochemistry, among other certifications, and is a highly trusted naturopathic doctor with over 16 years of experience.

Jeff Clardy loves nature and Zen meditation and words, put it all together and that spells for a meditative poetry reading in this episode.

Here are some of the references Valerie and Jeff mention in this show.



Poems by Jeff Clardy



A gentle rain dances

On the windows lure

Its peaceful tapping

Is delusions cure

A blackbird barks

It’s only word

A deeper zen

Is what is heard

Nothing here

As all has gone

In nature’s breath

And this moments song

--

It's quiet now

All thoughts are gone

All that's left

Is the morning birds song

So sweet this peace

This moment brings

When I choose to let go

The 10,000 things

Each breath is felt

Each song is heard

Everything is perfect

Without a word

--



Morning blossoms

From the songs of birds

Letting go the thoughts

So nothing is heard

Only that

Which forms this now

As stillness brings

The unanswered how

It's here my friends

The truth you seek

So silent your burden

So your soul can speak

In Texas we sit at 600 feet above sea level, the summit where the lake is is about 11,400 feet. I can hike 10 miles in 100-degrees with no slowdown, but up that high, it turned out that I was the slow poke. The caboose. The last one, lagging behind about 100 yards short of breath.



I started to complain to myself about myself. I showed no mercy: “Come on! You can hike faster. They are going to think you are out of shape or worse hung over. “Why is this so hard, I thought I was in better shape. “Okay Val, you need to start hiking more.” (I had already hiked 80 miles in the month of July, which didn’t count waking the dog or other steps in the garden or the lugging of 40 pound bags of manure and building my green house in the middle of the day in 100 degree temperatures.) “I need to be in better shape.” I needed to justify why I needed to stop and catch my breath. No mercy.
