    Emotional Well-Being in 6 Minutes

    As the world spins with endless streams of input, this short excerpt from my recent interview with Jondi Whitis, a master trainer in EFT, offers what I hope is a soothing salve for chronic anxiety. Here, Jondi gives us a gentle reminder that we are in control of ourselves — what we're thinking and what we choose to do about what upsets us. And also that we can be healing agents for ourselves and others. How empowering is that? This is Kate Jones. Thank you for listening to The Gale Hill Radio Hour!

    Emotional Well-Being with Jondi Whitis

    Jondi Whitis' calling is helping others feel better fast. She's a master trainer in EFT, which stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques, otherwise known as “tapping.” In this episode, Jondi talks about what we can do to alleviate chronic anxiety. So many of us are feeling anxious these days because it seems that everything is coming at us all at once and all the time. To get off that merry-go-round, you need tools that you can access at any time. Jondi says it doesn't matter whether you choose tapping or some other modality. Just find a practitioner you feel safe with, someone who can help you find the truth in what's bothering you. With the right technique for you, you'll have the power to help yourself — and others. To learn more about Jondi and her work, please visit her website. Also, you could listen to a previous Gale Hill Radio episode that focuses more on tapping. It's episode 27, titled "EFT Trainer Jondi Whitis on Tapping for Emotional Freedom." This is Kate Jones. Thank you for listening to The Gale Hill Radio Hour!

    Discover the Glow of "The Light"

    'Tis the Season for an illuminating storybook, and here's one I definitely recommend: "The Light," a tale compassionately told by Scarlett Lam and vibrantly illustrated by Mindy Lee.  Published in November 2023, this board book has the potential to be an enduring favorite among kids and all of us who are kids at heart.

  7. Healing Your Bodies — All of Them!

    Healing Your Bodies — All of Them!

    Sandra Tjoa teaches Qi Gong and Tai Chi, ancient practices that helped her reclaim her health and have now become an integral part of her daily life. In this episode, she explains how these practices may benefit you. Chi, also spelled Qi, is life force energy. This energy travels in pathways in the body, but it can become stagnant or stuck due to unresolved emotions. The practices of Tai Chi and Qi Gong focus on the body's energy pathways, helping us loosen stuck energy and open us up to more flow. Sandra explains all this way better than I do, but at least that's a start. In this episode, she emphasizes the power of the body to heal, and she offers tips for starting your day and decreasing stress. You'll also learn that we actually have five bodies: our physical body, of course, and our mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic or energy bodies. As Sandra explains, paying attention to the health of the energy body also will support our other bodies, which have energetic aspects as well. Before she began practicing Qi Gong and Tai Chi, she was not in good shape. As she tells it, she was depressed, sleep deprived, haggard. Now, she's the picture of strength and good health, as you can see from her photo. For the complete story about her health turnaround, please visit her website. A resident of Nelson, British Columbia, where she lives with her family, Sandra teaches Qi Gong and Tai Chi classes online, where she also conducts month-long healing programs. You can learn more on her site and find her on YouTube, as well as on Facebook and Instagram. This is Kate Jones. Thank you for listening to The Gale Hill Radio Hour!

    Hunger and Personal Power

    Best-selling author Tony Robbins wrote about hunger in his latest newsletter on LinkedIn, and he included his own childhood experience with food insecurity. He also shared a decision he made long ago to take action to help solve this worldwide problem. His post is a powerful piece of writing that ended up inspiring a meditation with a message, which I talk about in this episode. You can follow this link to Robbins' newsletter to learn the outcome of his decision and much more. I recommend it highly. For more thoughts about inner power, please go to Gale Hill Radio's "The Force is With Us," episode 72 . This is Kate Jones. Thank you for listening to The Gale Hill Radio Hour!
