In this episode, we chat about all things meditation and The New Guided Minds Meditation Teacher Training Course at the NCCH.Neil our meditation teacher began his journey to spiritual freedom in November 2017 beginning with Meditation classes.The joy and blissful state of being that Neil began to experience with meditation was more than enough to convince him that life is a truly magical gift and that the changes to come would be for the highest good of himself and all his relations.Meditation reconnected Neil with his creative spirit and this took him to sing in concerts in Italy, the Czech Republic, Macedonia, and New York City as well as bringing an abundance of joy to his life. His dedication to meditation under the spiritual guidance of Sri Chinmoy enabled him to flip unhealthy and addictive behaviours bringing centredness and grounding to his whole life.Before meditation, his life was extreme but he found his 'here and now' on the middle path of enlightenment, and knowing this place of balance he lives a fully expressive and empowered life. Neil's exploration of the healing arts blossomed under the tutelage of Sheila Whittaker at the College of Sound Healing,  Suzy Crockford for Ancient Ways, Leo Rutherford for his expertise on the teachings of the Medicine Wheel, and in addition Angelic Reiki, Cacao Ceremony Facilitation, Ho'oponopono, Mindfulness, Hatha Yoga and most recently with the guiding light of Hypnotherapy, Amanda Joy at the Northern College of Clinical Hypnotherapy.All of the teachings Neil receives, he shares in facilitating and holding space for his events with The Soul Sound Spirit www.thesoulsoundspirit.com.Neil loves to share sound healing and meditation in his spare time he performs at festivals and concerts and has performed at the Yoga Show in Alexandra Palace, The Durham Festival of Well being and Ferne Cotton's Happy Place Festival, and many more to come! Neil currently leads and facilitates classes for adults and children in Meditation and Mindfulness bringing presence and grounded living to all who seek it. 'The building blocks of an enriching spiritual life are found in meditation and mindfulness, from there you can blossom and flourish on your own spiritual journey to enrich the mind, body, and soul.It's really an immensely rewarding calling to teach meditation, you find yourself within each and every student you teach.' Neil is very excited to share the wonderful gift of becoming a teacher of Meditation with the Guided Minds Meditation Teacher Training - 'It's about being a bright guiding light in your world, to love, grow and create the world that you share from the pure light of the heart.' Support the Show.This podcast is sponsored by The Northern College of Clinical Hypnotherapywww.thenortherncollegeofclinicalhypnotherapy.com

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition caused by a traumatic experience.Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder include flashbacks, nightmares, feeling very anxious and difficulty sleeping.The main treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder are antidepressants and talking therapies.Any situation that a person finds traumatic can cause post-traumatic stress disorder. Examples include a road accident, an assault and childbirth.Complex trauma describes exposure to multiple traumatic events often of a wide range of types, long-term exposure to trauma and/or repeated trauma. These events are severe and pervasive, such as abuse or profound neglect.Roderick Aungier Known as Rod is an independent Gestalt Psychotherapist with a small private practise. He has also helped set up an online Institute called Complex Trauma Institute where provides various online active learning groups, the occasional webinar and some training as and when.Qualified in Gestalt and Somatic Developmental Psychotherapy – qualified in New York.  He has various diplomas around Embodied Relational ways of working – because he found that connecting at a bodily level worked for him and his trauma process and he sees incredible results with clients.  Before Gestalt training – in 2002 I worked at various jobs which all seemed to relate to trauma, notably working with acquired brain injury for ten years. He studied natural science at university later in life (36) and did Analytical chemistry for five years and discovered an analytical side of him that he didn’t know existed but he never felt like a real scientist.Rod sought help and therapy for many years after leaving school after realising that he was pretty damaged. He found very little help or understanding from any of the available resources provided until one day when he told his Doctor that he was suicidal and was referred to see a Gestalt therapist.This Gestalt therapist was pivotal for his awareness of what happened to him and years of peeling away the layers of the onion followed – and still continue. When he felt, he had come to a good point in his personal therapy and understanding he engaged in Gestalt training – and of course became much more aware of how him and his damage had affected everyone he was in contact with.Further understanding led him to investigate embodiment and embodied work and the connection between one lived body and another – which. If paid attention to, can lead to profound healing.That seemed to be the place he needed to be so his therapy approach is a mixture of Gestalt and Embodied work.Rods childhood from a very early age involved a confusing – charming for a lot of the time but brutal, controlling and physically violent at other times– father.  All of his adjustments and adaptations and unawareness’s came about because of one man, and he say that sometimes when he looks back and sees how one person’s actions can affect a whole family system its staggering.There were five in his family and not once was his father ever confronted with the truth of his actions and if Rod looks at the world today you can clearly see the benefits of being an autocratic and brutal leader everywhere you look which is a sobering thought.Rod is passionate to share that trauma and even complex trauma _ the enduring kind, which he suffered, can be worked with, processed and transformed – it’s just not the easiest nor the shortest of journeys. So the real driver behind writing the book was what I saw as a real split in therapy and healing. On the one hand you had the absolute expert scientific approach and on the other you had the spiritual hippy very unscientifSupport the Show.This podcast is sponsored by The Northern College of Clinical Hypnotherapywww.thenortherncollegeofclinicalhypnotherapy.com

Or worse, forgotten what love is? This week we take a deep dive into our romantic life, share the reality and the challenges that relationships bring.  We look at why relationships don't work out and how we can get through tough break ups. How would you currently rate your relationship out of 10?Where would you LOVE your relationship to be out of 10?Wherever you are at, we will show you have to take it to an 11! You can listen at 8 pm on DH9digital on Wednesday and on Nova Radio North East 102.5fm on Sunday afternoon or on Amanda Joy's Podcast.Support the Show.This podcast is sponsored by The Northern College of Clinical Hypnotherapywww.thenortherncollegeofclinicalhypnotherapy.com

This week on the #Wednesdaywellbeing show I'm chatting with Clare Evans Co founder of Defi Health Solutions (DHS). As our NHS faces unprecedented challenges, it's going to require an equally unprecedented, and long term, response from the government. Firstly to deal with the backlog of both physical and mental healthcare that the pandemic has caused, and second to create a system of health and care that tackles both the health inequalities and the other weaknesses that covid-19 has exposed. Clare has a background of 26 years in health as a registered general nurse. She has worked within most specialities in health and across all of the main health systems during her career. Her clinical background is acute general medicine, multiple complex chronic conditions management, hospital avoidance, disease prevention, education and her specialist area, is respiratory disease, asthma and COPD. For over 26 years Clare has studied and analysed health systems and is an expert in systems and solutions development.In 2017 Clare developed Global Health Solutions for respiratory conditions, asthma and COPD. She took them to the WHO, as well as other global leaders and respiratory organisations between 2017 and October 2019 however, they were not ready for a radical change in health systems, disease management and prevention of disability. In February 2022 she met Adam Ahmed co-founder of Hybridtech Group (HTG). Adam, is a global business development and marketing strategist. He was creating a powerful ecosystem of partners to create global change, empowering people with knowledge and education to create smart entrepreneurs and wealth, amongst other things. Clare and Adam have come together to change Global Health.

This week on the #Wednesdaywellbeing show I'm chatting with Antonio De Sousa.Anthony is a Self Belief & Self Joy Facilitator, mentor and coach specialising within spiritual frequency areas of self love, self care and self mastery. He’s the author of a brilliant brand new book that was launched just a few weeks ago. Antonio, formally a plasterer, in his new book gives his true account of what it is like to be a man who once hated himself. He acknowledges that life hasn’t been easy for him, codependency and a predisposition for drugs, and a break up that led him to question if he even wanted to continue living. Antonio has embarked on improving the fragile relationship he had with himself, in his debut book; 📚The Lockdown on Self-Love📚 Antonio promotes transparency and advocates that vulnerability is real strength. He gives voice to sensitive subjects that many men have suffered with and certainly don't talk about. He loves to share these principles with others, with a dose of personal development and spirituality, to inspire others to realise that the most important relationship there will ever be, is the one you have with yourself. He is also a proud father of two young children. In his book Antonio wears his heart on his sleeve. One thing that screams out from each chapter and each page of this book, is the realness through the way he expresses his experiences from his perspective. He quite refreshingly owns his part throughout from very early childhood having to flee South Africa, to landing in a foreign land in Portugal, to then finally relocation within England. I can only imagine what an experience it must have been to revisit some of the tough times in his life facing them head on and writing them down. He has let go of traumatic life experiences, childhood sexual trauma, violence, prison exposure, drugs, illusions, educational challenges like dyslexia, in such a creative  inspiring way. From challenging the status quo on mental health, spirituality, awakening, living an authentic life, its all in his book along with the depths of chaos he experienced. Now out in public within the world spreading his very special message of self empowerment, self belief, self joy, and ultimately self love, his presence is a real gift THE LOCKDOWN ON SELF-LOVE: How to make suffering work for you https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09WQ17YHS/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_66C9PFT9QJB93DXEEJX0Support the Show.This podcast is sponsored by The Northern College of Clinical Hypnotherapywww.thenortherncollegeofclinicalhypnotherapy.com
