Nisha Manek, MD, FACP, FRCP (UK) – Information Medicine; the Power of Intention; and Bridging Science & Spirit

By thehealingplacepodcast | July 3, 2020

I am sending much gratitude to the brilliant and enlightening Dr. Nisha Manek for joining me to discuss:

Dr. Nisha’s book release: Bridging Science & Spirit: The Genius of William A. Tiller’s Physics and the Promise of Information Medicine
the practice and power of intention
how trauma impacts our physical health
what is information medicine?
holistic healing
and so much more!

Bio:

“When she was eight years old, Nisha decided to seek the truth. She never changed her mind. A native of Kenya, Nisha’s humble background propelled her to transcend limitations: gender, ethnic, and financial. She started her rheumatology career at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. Nisha is an internally recognized leader in the field of integrative medicine. But she didn’t stop there. Nisha partnered with one of the world’s most innovative physicists: Emeritus professor, William A. Tiller of Stanford University and pushed the boundaries of what is possible in the physics lab. As part of her tenure with Professor Tiller, Nisha achieved an astonishing confirmation of Tiller physics by testing the sacred relics of the historical Buddha. One of her proudest moments was moderating HH the 14th Dalai Lama during a Mind-Life Institute conference at the Mayo clinic. With storytelling as a core skill, she has authored a one-of-a-kind book: Bridging Science and Spirit, closing the gap between two seemingly separate areas of knowledge. She is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of the United Kingdom.”

trauma-healing strategies
her LIVE daily meditation practice – join in for free every morning
Stillpoint courses and classes – such as Women’s Healing Trauma

“Lynn Fraser brings the depth of twenty two years experience teaching meditation. She specializes in holding a safe, trusted space for healing trauma in her private online sessions. Lynn lives near family, ocean and forest in Nova Scotia Canada.

She is a senior teacher in the Himalayan Yoga Meditation tradition; and an experienced Facilitator of Scott Kiloby’s Living Inquiries.

‘Fast forward 25 years from when I first learned meditation in the early nineties. I see and love myself. I am authentic and connect deeply. My body is relaxed and a known space. Trauma is largely healed and resolved. I am mostly free of reactivity and I have skills to work with thoughts and sensation. I know from experience I can be with whatever is arising in this space and time. I feel, at 66, that I am now an emotionally mature adult.’

‘Lynn has experienced a profound recognition of present moment awareness and embodies it naturally. That’s the kind of teacher anyone would want, for if one’s teacher does not have the direct experience of what is being taught, true transformation just cannot happen.’ Scott Kiloby“

Sobriety Celebration

By thehealingplacepodcast | January 17, 2020

Just a little announcement that sponsorship opportunities are available for The Healing Place Podcast at https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/the-healing-place-podcast. Thanks so much for supporting this hope-infused and healing-inspired space!

Tonight’s podcast episode was the result of an impromptu Facebook Live interview with my mom, better know as GJ for Grandma Joann, in celebration of her reaching the 6 month milestone of sobriety. The beast of her alcoholism has been something we have all battled in our family . . . from our co-addictive relationships as husband and children to my mom’s struggles with vodka, pills, and depression.

Part of my healing journey has been working through the traumatic events experienced as a result of this family affliction. The horrors of an attempted stabbing (she tried to kill my dad with a butcher knife), attempted drownings (of four-year-old me with my one-year-old sister beside me in the bathtub), incarceration (due to stabbing incident), suicidal ideation, countless bouts with detox resulting in hospitalization, as well as the humiliation dumped upon us children in her moments of rage and resentment, left me seeking a mother I thought I’d never have.

When sober, oh what an angel on earth she is. Truly. The kindest, sweetest, funniest lady around. She was brilliant at her job and known for her hilarious jokes. Wherever we go, someone is stopping us to hug on my mom.

However, when vodka hit her system and she was behind the closed doors of our little apartment on the outskirts of Cincinnati, a monster appeared.

In July, 2019, after receiving a call from my younger sister, as I stood atop a mountain in Estes Park, Colorado, I finally decided I’d had enough. I could no longer be the one to swoop in and clean up the mess. I was going to have to walk away. Turn my back on my then 83-year-old mother and let her flail alone. She would have to be the one to save herself.

Truly one of the most difficult decisions I had ever made. But, it had to be done.

And she did it! She started seeing two counselors. She stopped drinking. And she finally started mending her broken pieces and talking about her own ACEs (adverse childhood experiences). I didn’t speak to her for three months. Neither did my sister. Nor any of her seven grandchildren. We all left her alone to face and slay her own demons.

I am beyond proud of her for conquering her biggest fear. And learning to live life beyond the bottle.

We laugh. We talk. We sing. We go on shopping dates. Today I had her try sushi for the first time in her life at my favorite Asian bistro. She loved it!

All those precious gifts I craved as a little girl. I have been gifted with them at fifty-three.

I love you, Mom.
