  1. Body Scan Meditation

    JAN 6

    Body Scan Meditation

    This Body Scan Meditation is part of the meditation series on The Courage Checklist to help support you in your courageous action. Start the year with this Body Scan Meditation and Box Breath exercise. I like this as a calming practice to use whenever I need to feel grounded. Try a meditation practice like this one a couple of times a week, to start, and see if it helps you be less stressed. This is also a good exercise when you need calm or face a decision. Share your experiences and questions in a voicemail, and you might find yourself featured on an upcoming episode. (This podcast is not meant as medical advice and is not presented as such. Please consult a doctor with any medical questions regrding meditation or breathing exercises.)

    Holiday Help: a Meditation for Letting Go

    In an effort to share what I do when I'm not writing or podcasting, I want to share a seres of medatations to support you. I'm starting with "Holiday Help: a Meditation for Letting Go." I've had a lot of very fine teachers in my life. This year, I became cerified to teach Meditation and Breathwork through the Yoga Alliance. It's a tool I love to share in person, but I want to give the auditory gift of a few minute's peace to you each week. Starting today and going through winter, I'll share these meditations. Let me know if they are helpful or if there are any subjects you'd like meditations about. Auhors Mentioned: Alice Hoffman

  5. Enchanted Forest/Haunted Hot Lake

    Enchanted Forest/Haunted Hot Lake

    The Enchanted Forest amusement is a true labour of love for the Tofte Family and a real hidden gem of Oregon. Located in Turner, Oregon, just south of Salem, it is easily accesible on I-5. I will get my name engraved on the plaque at The Challenge of Mondor some day. Or maybe buy a brick to support them- go to their website to check that out. The Lodge at Hot Lake Springs was built at the site of a hot spring called "Ea -Kesh-Pa", originally used by the Nez Perce who lived there. It first became a lodge in 1906. It became a sanitorium, where visitors came for its healing mineral waters, and was a tourist destination for famous and regular folks alike, even visitors like Wild Bill Hickock. After it partially burned, it was only abe to use about a third of the rooms, and so gradually fell into disuse. After short stints as nusing training facilities and a nursing home, it was bought for use as a restauraunt/night club and a bath house, and then was closed due to vandalism and abandonment. It was redone in the 2000's by the Manuel family, and was reopened as a bed and breakfast, with a bronze foundry, musum and spa. It was bought by the Grande Hot Springs RV resort next, and is open now for day use and to stay. You'll have to stay there to find out the haunted part for yourself! Photos of these two will be on @j_b_chambers on Instagram. As always , the best way to help the show is to rate and review where you are listening. Thanks for tuning in, and stay curious!

  6. William Sullivan: Courage, Travel, and Support

    William Sullivan: Courage, Travel, and Support

    William Sullivan is the author of 23 books in historical fiction, fiction, plays, & even children's genres, but he is most well-known for his Oregon Hiking Guides. He’s been featured in many features & columns in papers like Oregon newspapers like the Eugene Weekly, The Register-Guard, and the Salem Statesman-Journal. I first met Bill as a shaky, nervous first-time author in Bill's capacity as the organizer of author tables at state & local fairs. Warm, kind, and encouraging, he let me have a seat at what felt like the "big kid's tables" with my first book, and I'm pleased to say he's been inviting me back ever since. Bill speaks a dizzying number of languages (listen to find out how many), travels and hikes all over the world, and he and his wife built their own log cabin in the woods... with hand tools! He wrote a great book about that, too, on a typewriter at the cabin. We chat about his writing career, travel, and his incredible support system in his wife Janell Sorenson. Find Bill at his website, https://www.oregonhiking.com, and contact him by email there as well.

    Gilly The Legendary Sunshine Wizard Part 2

    Gilly is not just a wizard, but a sunflowery force. I was lucky enough to sit down with their Wizardness over a couple of hours and had a magical conversation about faeries, activism, and doing what feels right for your shiny soul by spreading love wherever you can. I’m honored to have Gilly as my featured guest. This week we chat more about having the courage to be yourself on the internet, his wizard alter ego, and his book… and I get a Wizard ceremony of my own! You'll have to listen to see my new wizard name. Here's a hint (It's the name of a summertime fruit). Find Gilly on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, & Patreon, where you’ll see him under @gilly_shine. You can also support him with Cameo, or by his links on his Linktree, https://linktr.ee/gilly_shine.
