In Chinese medicine there's a concept called wei qi - a kind of energetic barrier that protects us from pathogens. In this episode, Erik introduces a variety of tools and techniques that you can use at home to help boost your wei qi and prevent infection as the weather gets colder. Included in the discussion are guasha (skin scraping), fire cupping, moxabustion, herbs and vitamins. You'll also learn how to make your own immunity tincture. This recording was excerpted from a lecture given at Collaborative Natural Health Partners in Manchester, CT in October 2019.  Stay tuned at the end for a meditative moment focused on immunity.  You can become a supporter on Anchor for as little as $0.99 a month or at our Healing is in Your Hands Patreon!  Patreon subscribers get access to additional content.

Our guest Linda Lentini is the Director of Healing From Within at Toivo,  a Hartford-based program that focuses on making holistic healing and stress management techniques available to everyone. She is trained in Breath Body Mind, Aromatherapy, and is a certified Louise Hay trainer. In this episode, Linda, Erik and Kim discuss Linda's work inside inpatient psychiatric units, and the ways she's adapted her work to the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic. We also cover stress management, Louise Hay training, and more. Stick with us to the end for a special meditative moment led by Linda, focused on the breath.  Follow Healing is in Your Hands on social media: Facebook & IG  @Healingisinyourhands Twitter @HealingIsInYou1 Snapchat feral20 and earthwalker11 Linda Lentini can be reached at: Toivo website http://toivocenter.org/about-us/team/ Louise Hay’s website as a certified “You Can Heal Your Life” facilitator. https://healyourlifeworkshops.com/teacher/linda-lentini Breath Body Mind https://www.breath-body-mind.com/bio/linda-lentini Youtube video of Linda sharing a speech at a 2013 rally for human rights in psychiatry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzeBZ7g7cOk&feature=youtu.be Human Rights Rally in response to proposed unconstitutional laws which lead to forced drugging, human rights violations, and more people entering the broken psychiatric medical model for "treatment."  This was a day to challenge our communities to not perpetuate the statue quo, celebrate our uniqueness and interconnection in the human family, and promote communities of acceptance which encourage, allow, and facilitate individualized movement towards lives rich in texture and meaning.

With a global pandemic, gun violence, sometimes violent clashes between protesters and police, wildfires in California, devastating storms in the Gulf Coast and more, there’s an elevated level of fear in our country and on our planet that can prevent us from focusing on love and moving forward in life with ease. In this episode, Erik and Kim share their insights on coping with fear in our current climate. Several of our previous guests have been kind enough to share their thoughts as well. You can pre-order the upcoming album Crystal Vision from our guest HannaH’s Field, featured in our meditative moment, at  https://hannahsfield.bandcamp.com. Crystal Vision is a tool to aid you in your positive upful experience on this Earthly plane. HannaH's Field felt guided to include a Crystal Grid with the music to help us all expand and accelerate the collective manifestation of a loving tomorrow. The album is out on September 18, 2020.
