New York.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Welcome back, beautiful Tri State Area. You're listening to a
Moment of Zen right here on seven ten WR, the
Voice of New York iHeartRadio. I'm your host, Zenzam's in
the WR unique business feature of the month where we
highlight and explore transformative businesses and organizations. I'm excited to
highlight Omnia Group Ashland. Today's focus is on wellness and healing.
(04:09):
We're diving into a topic that's as groundbreaking as it
is deeply personal to me. Salocybin assisted therapy. What if
I told you that a single journey could heal trauma,
restore balance, and help unlock your life's purpose. I experienced
exactly that at Omnia Group Ashland, which is a hybrid
wellness and therapy center in southern Oregon. That's pioneering the
(04:30):
way we approach mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. Enter Brian,
a perfect pitch of blended consultation with a sense of direction.
On the other end of the intake, he immediately assigned
my facilitator intuitively unbeknownst to him. From the moment I
entered their serene and meticulously designed space, I felt a
sense of safety and intention. Michelle clearly oversees this part
(04:54):
very well. My facilitator, Aaron, whose deep knowledge of salocybin
science and compassionate presence guided me every step of the way,
helped create an environment where I could fully let go
and embrace the journey. Over seven hours, that's right, seven hours,
I accessed every internal layer of myself, realigning my chakras,
healing trauma, and reconnecting with my soul family, my daughter Alexa,
(05:19):
my husband Brad, and the timeless bonds we share across lifetimes.
It all came through I also experienced the profound exchange
of energy with Aaron, my facilitator, uncovering not just my
own inner balance, but also a deeper connection to the
spiritual and scientific dimensions of this therapy. This is what
makes Omnia Group Ashland so extraordinary. Founded by today's guests
(05:42):
Michelle and Brian Linley, this hybrid wellness and therapy center
is helping individuals like myself discover new pathways to healing.
Michelle brings her expertise in psychology and trauma informed care,
while Brian applies his business acumen and passion for wellness
to ensure that omnia is a and for those seeking
meaningful change. Let's get into the details and explore how
(06:04):
Omnia Group Ashland is transforming lives. Michelle and Brian, Welcome
to the show, Superstars.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Hey you n Hello, good to see you.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
So excited to have you both here. I am very
passionate about this topic and can't wait to dive in. Brian,
let's start with you. You've transitioned from a career in
manufacturing and finance to co founding hybrid wellness and therapy
center focused on silas cybin assisted therapy.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
That's quite the pivot.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
What inspired this shift and how does your previous experience
contribute to the mission and operations of Omnia Group Ashland?
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Well, I guess I would start with I was working
a corporate job in big city, corporate America and kind
of developed my own trauma over a number of years.
And you can ask Michelle, I was kind of like
a ship passing in the night and had lost connection
to myself and just wanted to move somewhere and create.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
A different lifestyle.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
And when it came time to address those mental health
issues that I had developed, somehow I found still a
cybin and after having one journey myself and seeing my
mental health through a different lens, I just got relief
from all of that trauma and was able to reconnect
(07:26):
and my family noticed the change. So it was quite
transformative and just one of the most significant events of
my life.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
That's such an inspiring journey, and it shows how diverse
skills can come together right to create something truly impactful,
just like you've done. And I know that this therapy
is science researched and science almost back at this point.
Try to save a few probably hiccups that we're going
to encounter, because nothing is easy with the FDA, but
the most important part is that veterans, first responders, people
(08:02):
that have lost a loved one. This is right up
the alley of healing naturally from within, which brings me
to Michelle. Your background in psychology and trauma informed care
gives you such a unique lens in creating safe and
supportive environment, which is for me one of the most
important things. So how does Omnia Group ensure a safe
(08:25):
and supportive setting for individuals undergoing silocybin assistant therapy, especially
considering the diverse needs and backgrounds of each one of
your clients.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
The biggest factor is that we are operating from state guidelines.
We have one hundred and eight pages of rules. We
decided that we wanted to have a group of facilitators
who were dedicated to our center so that we could
work as a team. We have a fantastic group of
facilitators and we lean on them to continue to work
(08:57):
on establishing safety protocols and making sure that we have
the type of place where clients can come and feel
that sense of safety. In addition, we have wonderful referral
doctors that we can reach out to if we have
situations that are potentially complex. We're always very careful about
making sure that we screen people carefully and that if
(09:20):
we are bringing clients in that we're doing that in
a manner that is going to be safe for them.
And then in addition to that, spending time with preparation,
preparing for the journey itself, and then also on the
other side, working on the integration of the psilocybin experience.
(09:41):
That's a huge factor in success of a psilocybin journey.
And then in addition to that, we worked very hard
to make our wellness center be a place of serenity
and calm. One of the things that we do that
helps to ensure safety and feeling secure is have clients
(10:02):
come the day before their journey and they come into
the service center and they need all of us space
to face right. And I are there every day, all
the time.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
The whole thing is well, very well thought thought out.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I'm going to pivot to you, Brian, I want to
be mindful of the time. One of the most compelling
aspects of salocybin therapy is that it's plant based, non addictive,
and offers an alternative to big pharma. Studies like those
from John Hopkins Medicine show that a single dose of
salocybin can significantly reduce depression symptoms for up to one year.
How does Omnia Group Acheland approach the balance between offering
(10:37):
these alternative therapies and ensuring they complement or enhance existing
mental health treatments.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
It's a really great question because we take the health
and wellness aspect of plant medicine very seriously. So when
someone has, for example, some high trauma or complex case,
we make sure they have a support system at home.
We don't want someone to just come in and have
(11:05):
a psilocybin experience and then send them home and hope
they do okay. They need to have the support system
in place so that after such a significant experience they
can have continuing integration moving forward. Integration is extremely important
because that's how we create those positive mental habits moving forward.
(11:26):
I kind of say it's like going to the gym.
If you don't go to the gym, you're not going
to be in shape.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
If we don't after.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
A psilocybin session continue to work on those good mental
health habits, well don't expect anything to change. So we
start to kind of install those things in preparation and
during ceremony and then integration where people learn new techniques
on how to improve their mental health and that improves
their life overall.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
That integrative approach right there is so important and it's
exciting to see how alternative and traditional treatments can actually
work together for holistic hequey. So I love that you
combine both, and don't you dismiss one over the other. Now, Michelle,
preparation and integration are vital components of psilocybin therapy. Like
you just mentioned earlier, it's not just about the experience itself,
(12:13):
but also about what happens before and after. So I
just want you to touch on some of the protocols
and support systems that your group has implemented to prepare
clients for their experiences and a system and integrating these
experiences into their daily lives post therapy, which is what
Brian just spoke about.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
So one of the things that we learned early on,
the state sets a bare minimum guideline.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
For preparation and integration that dictates one preparation session.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
What we know is that above and beyond the state
mandated paperwork, that's important to complete with your facilitator spending
time creating that relationship, and then what we call resourcing,
understanding how to navigate your journey experience, and then setting
intention and having a really clear bowl about what it
is that you are wanting to get out of this experience.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Those are important, So that means extended preparation. So our
facilitators are doing a minimum of two preparation sessions. Most
of them are doing three plus. The crux of that
is that this is a really individualized process. Everyone is
different and everyone is going to need different resources. So
our facilitators are spending the time that's necessary with people
(13:26):
to prepare them for the journey itself and then being
able to take those skills into the integration process, reflecting
what Brian was saying about detailing with therapy and support
systems on the other end.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
So Brian salocybin therapy gains traction. Public education is becoming
increasingly important. Right, there's still so much stigma and misinformation
out there. How does your group engage with the community
to educate and to inform potential clients about the benefits
and the realities of stalocybin and system therapy.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Very low percentage of people know that this is available,
so getting the word out is very important, and how
you get that word out the information you're providing is
also important that people know that you're doing this the
right way. We've teamed with a lot of community partners
in the very short time sixteen months that we've been open,
(14:20):
so like Heroic Hearts, Different Veterans Group, Howably.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Care, End of Life.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
We've been work with professional athletes with traumatic brain injury.
We had a UN Climate group come in and it
was climate fatigue and they were really just duck in
a place where they've been working on this climate change
issues for so long that they feel like their creativity
has come to an end. And when the UN Climate
(14:48):
group came in, they had a beautiful ceremony and they
all published papers about the new realizations the creativity that
was unlocked with just one psilicybin session.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
It's fautiful and there you have it, right. Community and
education is critical, and especially when you're educating your community,
you're not just transforming individuals, but you're changing how society
views mental health and wellness. And that's what this is
truly all about now, Michelle. The relationship between facilitators and
clients play such a pivotal role in salo cybin therapy,
(15:21):
and facilitators like Aaron, whom I had the privilege of
working with, bring truly such depth and presence to the experience.
How does Omnia Group Ashland train and select facilitators to
ensure that they can effectively support clients through these very,
very profound journeys.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Well, first of all, all facilitators are licensed. They're required
to go through a training program and get a state license.
In addition to that, we because we work as a team,
we are constantly having meetings and developing those best practices. Again,
the facility diditators that we look for, and it took
(16:02):
us a while to learn about, Like what makes a
good facilitator. You can know the rules, but you also
need to be able to have that authentic connection with someone.
You need to be able to establish a trust and
a rapport with your facilitator in order to be able
to maximize the benefits of your journey. If you don't
(16:22):
have that rapport and that trust with your facilitator, you're
not going to be able to go as deep. So
bringing in people who not only know the rules and.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
Have rich deep experience in supporting people with trauma and
depression and anxiety and supporting abuse.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Survivors and you know, just an array of.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Experience that they have.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
They're deeply experienced people, but all of them are just
experts at creating that trusting relationship with a client that
really helps them to dive deeply into their experience.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Now, Michelle, reflecting on the client you've worked with, and
I know that now your facilitator yourself.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Congratulations.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Can you share any insights or common themes perhaps regarding
the transformative effects of psilocybin therapy, particularly in fostering connections
within oneself and maybe even the broader community.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
What I see is that what psilocybin allows people to
do is get in touch with their internal world and
release what no longer serves them, let go of what's
not working for them, which also opens up bringing in
what they do want, bringing in joy and creativity and connection.
There's a connection that happens internally with yourself. There's an
(17:43):
increase in connection with community. Oftentimes people talk about an
increase in connection with nature. So that connection is a
really lovely thing to see. I mean, we have a
fantastic job where we get to see people come into
this process and then talk with them at the end,
and it's a beautiful experience.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
These stories and this commentary is truly a testament to
the power of connection within ourselves and with each other.
So it's truly life changing work what you both are doing. Congratulations,
thank you, Thank you so much for our listeners. If

To ten wr iHeartRadio. Welcome back, Try State Area.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
You're listening to the Polish Beauty segment, where we explore
the cutting edge conversations redefining health, beauty and empowerment. I'm
your host, Zenzam's here to guide you through a provocative
discussion blending science, innovation, and the human experience. Today, we're
diving into some of the most critical and often overlooked
topics in women's health. Joining me are three trailblazing women
(19:39):
reshaping the conversation around menopause, beauty and wellness. First, doctor
Jessica Shepherd, Board certified OBGYN, author of Generation M, Living
Well in Perimenopause and Menopause, and a media personality inspiring
millions to embrace the stages of life with grace and empowerment. Next,
lot occur the visionary founder of c Lift and We
(20:00):
Miss Skincare, who's using medical grade carboxy therapy to revolutionize
skincare and vaginal health. And Finally, doctor Daisy aim, a
triple Board certified cosmetic surgeon and obgyn whose expertise bridges wellness,
beauty and health to create a holistic approach to women's care.
We'll cover myths surrounding menopause, innovative skincare treatments, and even
(20:23):
the mysterious condition known as frozen shoulder, often overlooked but
deeply impactful.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Buckle up because this is.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
One conversation you don't want to miss. Welcome to the show, Superstars. Hi,
everyone so excited to have you on. I'm gonna start
with your doctor, Jessica, So menopause. Let's chat menopause and misconceptions.
So menopause often carries the stigma, leaving many women to
basically suffer in silence, and according to the North American
Menopause Society, seventy five percent of women experience symptoms like
(20:52):
hot flashes and night sweats, yet fewer than twenty percent
see treatment. So, Doctor Shepherd, your book Generation M is
a rallying cry for women to reclaim their health during
this transformative phase. What inspired you to write this book
and how can it help dismantle the taboos surrounding menopause.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
You know, I think that my patients were the ones
who finally were speaking in my head over and over
over years to really get the word out on what
perimenopause and menopause is, because that's really a confusing time.
And even though you mentioned the symptoms of hot flashes
and knight switch, which are typically the most common, there
are so many other symptoms. And I found that women
(21:32):
were really trying to piece, you know, put the pieces
of the puzzle together, and they really couldn't or they
would go to another doctor and they were kind of
dismissed or not heard.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
So I really wanted to.
Speaker 8 (21:42):
Bring a really easy read for patients to be able
to read, get some insight, but realize that menopause is
not just about the pelvis and ovarieson estrogen. It has
it's a whole body experience and transformation. And so once
you realize really the impact on your entire body and mind,
I think that people have an easier time going through
(22:02):
that transition. And that's what I want them to do,
because this is going to be that new chapter of
your life. So I want them to be overjoyed about
it rather than dreading that new chapter.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
It's so empowering to hear a perspective that actually normalizes
this experience but also offers real solutions, and I imagine
many readers will feel seen and supported through this book.
I know that on our panel, doctor Daisy and both
Lana have your book and always speak your praises. So
congratulations on putting that together. I'm sure it was a
(22:33):
labor of love, if you.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Will, it was a labor of many paper cuts.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yes, Lana, CO two lift vaginal treatment, let's talk about that.
So your treatment is a game changer, especially in an
era where women are taking control of their intimate health.
Twenty twenty one study in the Journal of Women's Health
found that nearly fifty percent of postmenopausal women report symptoms
of vaginal dryness or discomfort, yet many don't realize there's
(22:57):
an effective, non invasive treatment actually available. Can you explain
how the CO two lift vaginal vulva treatment works and
why is it such a breakthrough for vaginal health.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
I think that there are three things that we kind
of focus on with the CO two lift. You're talking
about blood flow because the clitterus needs blood flow, the
tissue be thinning tissue as well as pH And just
to show the power of the CO two lift, carboxy
it can close a non healing diabetic.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Ulcer in eight days. And you think about a diabetic
what are.
Speaker 9 (23:30):
The issues circulation, so blood flow and then regeneration of tissues.
So CO two lift, make it together, create CO two
gas which tricks the body into like pushing oxygen rich
blood to the area. So it's going to address those
things for a woman in a painless way, immediate and
from the privacy of their homes.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Well, it's it's incredible how science is catching up to
meet the needs of women in such a personal and
impactful way. And I can see that this has become
a must have treatment for women at any stage of
their life. And Lana, you have done something very proprietary,
and I love that you use your own perimenopausal and
menopausal experience to cater and craft this for women out there.
(24:10):
You're doing a real service because your product is simple
and very effective, and I love that it's clinically researched
and clinically verified. Now I'm going to pivot to doctor Daisy.
We're gonna talk about myths of perimenopause. So doctor Daisy,
as someone who bridges that gap between cosmetic surgery and
obgyn care, you have a quite unique vantage point on
the misconceptions women face during perimenopause. One of the biggest
(24:33):
myths is that this phase is purely hormonal when it
also impacts mental health, sleep, and even relationships. So one
of the most common myths you've encountered, and how do
you help your patients navigate this complex journey.
Speaker 10 (24:45):
Yeah, the most common myth is that perimenopause happen in
your early fifdays, as we know, can start as your
late thirties and early forties. Myth number two, the most
common symptom is hot flashes, while hot flashes everywhere. Actually,
the other symptoms that are more prevalent. As we've already mentioned,
Doctor Jessica mentioned, the disturbance is a big one. Irregular
(25:06):
period is actually the most common one because that's what
signified that your impairmentopause, mood changes, brainfall that also happened.
Another myth is that homonotherapy is unsafe. While education is
needed on that it's not unsafe, it can be very
beneficial to the patient.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
So consulting your physician or.
Speaker 10 (25:26):
Your gynecologists or healthcare provider to really navigate that space
with you is very important. Another myth is that impairmenopause
fertility is gone.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Well, it's not completely gone.
Speaker 10 (25:36):
It might be slower than before, but it doesn't completely disappear,
so pregnancy can still happen. So it's not as common
as in your twenties, but you still can. Those are
some of the common myths that I've seen here in
my practice, and the way I go about approaching to
my patient is really just listen to her story and
help her navigate that path so that she doesn't feel
like this is just unusual.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
It's very common.
Speaker 10 (25:58):
A lot of women are experienced it, and they're not
really talking about it except now, which I really like
that a lot.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Wow, your insights really remind me that perimenopause isn't just
a physical change. It's truly what you just said, a
deeply emotional and personal experience in breaking these myths definitely
makes all the difference, uh, Doctor Jessica Shepherd, Okay.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Frozen shoulder.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
So, one condition that often flies under the radar is
frozen shoulder, and research shows it disproportionately affects perimenopause and
postmenopausal women, but it remains undiagnosed and misunderstood. Why is
this condition so prevalent among women in this demographic and
what are the latest treatments available.
Speaker 8 (26:38):
Frozen shoulder really is when you have like this adhesive
type of capsule that forms around the head of the
biggest bone and the arm is the humorous and what
happens is it causes stiffness and limited movement in that area.
But guess what a lot of that has to do
with the decline and estrogen, which is such a rich
hormone in the sense that it brings blood flow to
(27:01):
that area. And so when you have a decrease in estrogen,
that's going to lead to a decrease and some of
this blood flow and some of the lubrication in the joint,
and therefore you start to build like this capsule which
then freezes it and you're not able to move and
have that range of motion. And many women feel it
like very suddenly in a sense, not like overnight, but
(27:21):
you know, over the course of maybe a month or like,
why am I having this issue in my shoulder And
I didn't necessarily have an injury, but now there's this
limited range of motion. So the goal really is to
identify it to body awareness is always important and the
ways that we can really kind of treat this is
thinking about hormone replacement therapy or menopause hormone therapy, and
(27:43):
also some innovative ways that you can use shock wave
therapy or even injection of PRP. So there really is
a rich amount of treatments that can be done and
not necessarily surgery. So the key thing is early diagnosis
with self awareness and then looking at some of these
other modalities that might be able to help, especially giving
yourself back that estrogen.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Oh boy, I think I have this.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Now this condition sounds very debilitating, but it's encouraging to
hear about these treatments that offer hope and.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Really for those areas.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
But I have to say this sounds very familiar and
very close to home. So thank you for putting an explanation. Yeah, okay,
So Lana, the science of skincare. So your brand has
revolutionized skincare with carboxy therapy. While most people are familiar
with products like retinol or hyaluronic acid COEO two lift
takes a completely different approach. So what sets carboxy therapy
(28:32):
apart in terms of results and how does it benefit
not just the face, but like we talked about, other
areas of the body as well. Volva vaginal healing, diabetic ulcers.
Speaker 9 (28:42):
Yes, so you know many people are familiar and many
of your listeners may be familiar with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Well,
that's what COEO two lift is there has been compared
to because it's going to increase blood supply, it's going
to increase oxygenation. But I think what sets COEO two
lift apart is a fact like unlike Irari, you can
do it in the price for home, but it's really
putting your body in a position to start healing itself.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
And I think that's very important because then.
Speaker 9 (29:09):
You can regenerate your tissue and along with the help
of these other modalities that even doctor Jessica mentioned, it's
going to work along with them. But one of the
things as we get older, hydration is important. The lack
of it is seen in shriveled skin. You know, you
think of that great raisin analogy that I like to use.
(29:29):
The difference with the grape and a raisin is the
water content. So CO two lift, because it increases hydration
one hundred and seventeen percent after one application, you're going
to see that visible results in your skin. Another thing
that I think is really crucial is elasticity, and we're
talking about the face and neck. We're also talking about
our intimate areas as well. Elasticity increased twenty six percent
(29:53):
after only six applications. So that's if you think about
bounce back in the skin, what's giving us that vibrant
life look in any part of our body?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
That that's what the Seal two lift is doing.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
And we're talking about an aesthetic component, but there's also
the medical component.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Anything that requires blood flow, you can actually use it.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
Over generation, you can use it so it can be
used in any part of the body.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Now, Doctor Daisy, cosmetic surgery and confidence. So your work
in cosmetic surgery goes beyond aesthetics. It's about empowering women
to feel confident and whole. And in a society that
often shames women for seeking cosmetic enhancements, how do you
approach these conversations to ensure patients feel supported and respected?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Oh man, that's a loaded question. You know.
Speaker 10 (30:38):
It always starts with listening to the patient and from
that conversation listening to them, then I derived a plan. Ultimately,
I always hard into the three pillars of why you
should do this. Number one is your lifestyle, what is
your lifestyle before you came to see me is very
important because a good lifestyle will give you great results.
(30:58):
A poor lifestyle is not going to give you great results.
That's sustainable. So your lifestyle, we focus on nutrition, what
is on your plate, then exercise.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
So this is a holistic approach.
Speaker 10 (31:11):
I really hound it on my patient and I want
that before I operate on you. And honestly, I'm known
for turning down patients that I feel you don't have
the lifestyle in place. So with that said, society expectation
and negative perception doesn't matter because now we'll focus on you,
the person, and what results you want to have. And
(31:31):
because I'm big on sustainability longevity, it really boils down
to what you do after my work is done.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
It's refreshing to hear such a thoughtful perspective that really
honors the emotional and psychological aspects of cosmetic care. So
thank you for that, doctor Daisy. Doctor Jessica, So holistic
health and menopause, you advocate for a holistic approach to menopause,
blending traditional and even alternative therapies with more are women
(32:00):
seeking non hormonal options? How can they strike the right
balance between evidence based medicine and holistic practices.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
Yeah, I think that there's a way to beautifully blend
both of those. And you know, as much as I'm
a hormone advocate, and I realize that as we start
to decline our hormones over the perimenopausal phase into then
really having a really reduced amount in the menopausal phase,
I find it important for women to understand what hormones mean.
And if we're spending forty percent of our lives in
(32:29):
the postmenopausal phase, we're living longer, we're thriving, we're doing
things into older age. You want to be able to
do that with about the best well span ever. So
you want to be able to be in your seventies,
eighties and nineties and not be frail, and not be
weak and not you know, be able to kind of
carry yourself around and do the daily things. So hormones
really has an important part in how we look at longevity,
(32:51):
But it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone wants to take
it or can take it, or wants to take it.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
So in respect to that is.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
One fully understanding what hoones are and all of them
and how they benefit your entire body. But on the
other side of it, I do think that there's so
much space for other modalities, and when we think of that,
that's going to be the non hormonal. Whether it's with supplementation,
whether you're doing holistic practices such as yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, acupuncture,
(33:19):
these all can be blended together. And I really think
that it's not all one thing or the other. I
think everyone's journey should be looking at both of them
and how does this integrate with my individual self? But
not only yourself, but your stages and phases. Because as
you're maybe entering menopause it maybe fifty one, fifty two,
your demands and your needs are going to change by
(33:39):
the time you're fifty nine to sixty and then again
at sixty five and seventy. So this could never be
looked at as just one thing that's going to work
for the rest of your life. This really should be
looked at as a beautiful journey. How is my body
adapting to this, what's my mindset, and what are the
things that I'm going to carry on throughout that journey
that's going to change. This should really be looked at
as I want to be able to look into all
(34:01):
these different things and be open to the process so
that you're not limiting yourself to just one way of
doing something for the rest of your life. That sounds
a little boring. I want to be able to change
and have different things and be open and curious, and
I really do think that curiosity breeds growth.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Well that wraps up this enlightening conversation and menopause panel
on women's health and wellness. I thank you all so
much for coming on.

Are you looking for the ultimate winter escape that's close
to home and packed with fun. Let me tell you
about my recent experience at Campcom Mountain, the perfect spot
for snow tubing and winter thrills right here in Bergen County,
New Jersey.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Last weekend, I celebrated my.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Daughter's ninth birthday there with twelve of her friends, and
let me tell you, it was an absolute blast.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
From the moment we arrived.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
The team at Campcom Mountain went above and beyond to
make sure everything was perfect. They were incredibly accommodating and
super communicative, which, let's face it, is a must when
you're wrangling a group of excited kids.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
Their attention to detail really stood out.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
They ensued that every child had a safe and fun
experience while making the process seamless for us parents. The
staff organized everything so efficiently that all we had to
do was show up, enjoy the day, and make amazing memories.
The tubing lanes, Oh, there's so much fun. Picture this,
the kids racing down the snowy slopes, the laughter echoing
in the crisp winter air, and the convenience of a
(36:34):
carpet lift that takes you back to the top in
no time. No dragging tubes uphill here. They've thought of
everything to keep it stress free. Campgaw Mountain is not
just great for birthday parties. It's perfect for a weekend
get away with a family, a group outing, or even
just an impromptu snow day adventure. And the best part,
it's super close to Brigand County, just a quick thirty
(36:55):
five to forty minute drive that means less time commuting
and more time tubing.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
So whether you're planning a special celebration.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Like we did, or just looking for a winter activity
to get the kids outdoors.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
I cannot recommend campgal Mountain enough.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
With their top notch facilities, friendly staff and focus on safety,
You'll leave there with smiles, great photos, and memories that
will last a lifetime. So if you're in the Tri
State area and creating some winter fun, make Camp Gaum
Mountain your next stop you count head to their website,
grab your tickets in advance, and trust me, you'll be
coming back for more. This is your friendly reminder to

your host, Zen Sam's welcome back to the Hydration with
Heart segment. We're going to give you some food for
thought without a doubt. In this segment, I'm your host,
(38:17):
and today we're diving into a compelling topic that has
sparked curiosity and conversation across generations, reincarnation, past life, regression,
and the soul's journey. Joining us is Taylor Who's a
content creator, an entrepreneur whose thought provoking posts on Instagram,
including discussions about renowned authors Michael Newton, who is the
(38:38):
author of Journey of Souls, Brian Weiss, the author of
Many Lives, Many Masters, and Dolores Cannon, the author of
Between Death and Life. His posts have captivated audiences. His
ability to bring these conversations into the mainstream has helped ignite.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Interest in the spiritual realm.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Today, the headliner is tapping into past lives, exploring reincarnation
and the soul's eternal journey. Welcoming now to the show
is the incredible Taylor Perkins.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
Welcome, superstar.
Speaker 12 (39:06):
Hey, what an intro.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
Yeah, let's dive right in, because you are just talking
my language. So, studies show that belief in reincarnation is
in fact growing, with thirty five percent of US adults
and over sixty percent of Hindus worldwide embracing the concept
of rebirth. And this is according to Pure Research Center. Now,
(39:28):
Michael Newton describes reincarnation as a purposeful journey for the
soul to grow, and he's the author of Journey of Souls,
while Brian Weiss focuses on healing emotional and physical trauma
through past life progression and he's the author of Many Lives,
Many Masters. And then we have the third one, Dolores Cannon.
She explores the spiritual lessons souls learned between lives and
(39:50):
she's the author of Between Death and Life. Now, you
drew commonalities, and in your post you highlighted their works.
Let's start so a foundational question. What draws people to
the idea of reincarnation and how do these authors in
particular describe the soul's journey through multiple lives?
Speaker 12 (40:09):
Yeah, so reincarnation. I think the reason why a lot
of people are drawn to it is many people, especially
in the Western world, kind of grew up in a
spiritual culture that is kind of like, this is your
one chance and you better not mess it up. And
this one chance is going to dictate where you end
up for eternity, whether it's heaven or hell. And I
(40:30):
think what strikes a chord with a lot of people
within these books isn't just the experiences or the knowledge
that they share, but the fact that it's like, Okay,
this is a universe that is created out of love.
It is for our experience. You know, these experiences that
we have on this earth aren't necessarily just to test
(40:52):
you to see if you're good enough to return or
something like that, but rather to teach you. It is
a physical school, you know. It's one of the best
ways to aggregate and collect information is through experience, and
I think that's what resonates with a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
It's fascinating that, despite their differring approaches, all these three
authors paint a picture of the soul's purpose being deeply
tied to what you just said, growth, healing, and understanding.
And it's fascinating that none of them spoke to each
other when writing their books, right, But it's that concept. Now,
the concept of past life regression is intriguing but often
(41:30):
met with skepticism, and a survey conducted by the American
Psychological Association found that up to forty percent of individuals
believe in accessing subconscious memories through hypnosis. Michael Newton developed
regression techniques to explore life between lives, and Brian Weiss
focuses on unlocking past traumas stored in the subconscious, and
(41:50):
Delor's Canton speaks of tapping into universal collective consciousness. So
what do these authors say about the mechanics of regression
and how how does it tappen to me memories of
past lives?
Speaker 12 (42:01):
Yeah, so a really cool piece of information. You know,
I talk about this a lot in my content. But
you can look at technology, the expansion of technology AI
quantum computing, and really it mirrors the machine that we
are right. They computers are patterned after how we think
(42:22):
computers have a conscious and a subconscious, just like we
have a conscious and subconscious. And one of the most
interesting things when you look at the human computer is
if you take all of the data centers throughout the
entire world, it comes out to be four hundred and
seventy exhibytes of data one gram of DNA one gram
(42:44):
of human DNA can store four hundred and fifty five exhibytes,
almost all of the data that we have stored in
the entire world. And so if you look at like cell,
your memory and just this information that is literally in
code it into your cells, into your body, and you
look at the massive storage potential what I believe past
(43:07):
life regression using hypnosis, these different tools, it's purely to
access the subconscious where all of this data is stored. Now,
there's a lot of people who make the argument that
a past life regression is actually just remembering your ancestral
memories and pulling information that has to do with you
or could build you up. I think there's an argument
(43:29):
for that. I think there's an argument that every life
that you encompass as an eternal soul, you hold that
data within you, and when you come to this life,
the illusion is that you're starting fresh, that you're starting new,
but you hold all that data and you can access it.
And so hypnosis is an incredible tool, but there are
(43:51):
hundreds of different tools to access your subconscious mind and
these memories.
Speaker 4 (43:55):
Wow, So I'm a computer. I love this. We're all computers.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
Now, we now know that trauma can be passed down generationally,
suggesting connections beyond our immediate lifetimes. And Michael Newton discusses
soul groups in which the same souls reincarnate together to
play different roles and that there's a book called Destiny
of Souls that's amazing. And Brian Weiss has documented patients
(44:21):
recognizing family members in past lives and then you have Dolores.
She highlights the karmic contracts that bring families together for
growth and resolution and reincarnation, often ties the soul's journey.
Speaker 4 (44:34):
To familial bonds. Tell me in your opinion.
Speaker 3 (44:38):
Do these authors explore how families and relationships carry over
across lifetimes. I have not deld that deep into the books.
Speaker 12 (44:46):
Absolutely, And you know, I think that's one of the
core concepts that a lot of people align with, is
the idea of soul families. And one of the really
cool things about it is it's basically these karmic groups,
these souls that you are aligned with that you are
able to essentially work through this karmic debt that you have,
(45:07):
this learning that you need to go through, and it
doesn't always present as a familial relationship, you know, like
sometimes it's your best friend that when you meet you're like,
I know this person, I have known them forever. There's
a high likelihood they're in your soul family. You know.
There's also a high likelihood that if there are people
in your family where you're kind of at odds with,
(45:29):
you know, there's a little bit of friction, there's probably
a karmic relationship from a past life that you are
working through. And what these books explain is a lot
of times you know someone that you have a big karmic,
you know, problem that you need to work through. They'll
send you almost as family members because there is a
(45:49):
bond in the physical realm when it comes to family, right.
There are people that are born to narcissistic parents, but
they still love that parent even though they hurt them.
And that comes from Okay, there's some karma that needs
to be worked out. Let's see if you're a mom
and daughter, if you guys will be able to work
that out together and overcome or learn these lessons that
(46:11):
you're meant to learn. But soul families are a super
fascinating topic, and I one hundred percent I'm on board
with it.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Yeah, I mean, I can agree more The idea that
our relationships transcend lifetimes is not only both comforting, very profound,
and it suggests we're deeply connected to those we love
even beyond this existence. Now, the International Journal of Clinical
and Experimental Hypnosis reveal that regression therapy can alleviate symptoms
of anxiety and PTSD. And we have authors like Brian Weiss,
(46:42):
he famously documents the healing of his patients to regression
in Many Lives, Many Masters, and Michael Newton describes the
catharsis of understanding the soul's purpose. And then we have
Dolores Canon again. She notes that regression can resolve long
standing fears or habits rooted in past experiences. Many believe
that understanding past lives can lead to healing in the
(47:04):
present moment. What do these authors say about the therapeutic
benefits of accessing past lives.
Speaker 12 (47:11):
Yeah, so, you know, one of the most interesting things
is your physical body truly is a mirror to your
spiritual body. And so a lot of times, you know,
like there's some very famous books about you know, the
body keeps score, or how a spiritual issue or a
conscious issue will present itself as like a physical problem.
(47:33):
And I think a lot of times people with a
physical problem or with a fear that they feel is unrooted,
that they don't know what the source is. It's not
that they don't know what the source is, it's that
they haven't accessed that source. Because again, most of our
memories within the subconscious mind are hidden to the conscious mind.
(47:54):
We don't remember them. They're not all up here. It's
way too much data for all of us to rem
we'd be living in chaos. And so I think what
they tap into, whether it's a generational trauma or whether
it truly is a trauma that you're bringing with you
from a past life, or even just your subconscious mind,
is trying to highlight a problem that you have. Anything
(48:16):
that accesses the subconscious, like you were saying, psychedelics, breath work, meditation,
all these different things that you can do to go
into the subconscious. You can sit with those shadows and
see what is the problem, learn listen to the shadow,
and then you know how to address it. And it's
fascinating in the book just to hear people's experiences where
(48:38):
you know there's like extreme fears of drowning or something
like that, and then they get a past life regression
and find out that they had a traumatic death in
a past life where they did drown and they're still
carrying with them that fear of water, and so you know,
they were able to address it, realize what the source is,
and then overcome it. And so you know, the subconscious again,
(48:58):
everything is within you. It hold all the answers. The
trick is to access it and listen to it with
unconditional love.
Speaker 3 (49:07):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, everything you're saying really resonates in
alignce with all of the belief systems that I know
to be true that within me. And it's funny because
when you look at many individuals and you read the
research who've had in your death experiences, they describe vivid
interactions with spiritual realms. And one of the books I
(49:29):
did read is Michaelmuton's Journey of Souls. He details souls
meeting spirit guides and planning their next lives right and
Dolores speaks of what she called the library of Knowledge,
where souls review their past actions. It's fascinating and these
concepts really feel very comfortable to me. But it's interesting
that how would you describe this transitional phase of the
(49:52):
soul's journey man.
Speaker 12 (49:54):
That's such a good question. Again, I think it's one
of those things where in the physical form we process
the data I have had very many mystical, very cool experiences,
and then translating it under the I guess the confinement
of like language is sometimes very hard. But I would
(50:17):
say I'm very aligned with what they say where there
is a planning that goes into this. That does not
mean that everything is predetermined, but it does mean that you,
in that state of consciousness, understand the various paths that
your life could take, the good the bad that is
existing as a potentiality, and you sign up for it
(50:38):
to come down. And I just think having the mindset
of this physical realm is a gift. Your life is
a gift. You have everything that you need to be
happy right now. And truly, it's funny as you review
all of those books everybody's past life regressions when they
(50:58):
get into that that space between lives. All of the
reviews always have to do with I should have loved
myself more, I should have been happy with what I had,
you know, like I was so distracted, And I think
those are the most powerful lessons is to not get
distracted by what's going to come after death, but realize
what a gift it is to be alive and make
(51:20):
the most of every moment.
Speaker 3 (51:22):
You said it, Amen, And with that we are at
