Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith Can you do this? Or that? Can you too become your own stunt woman or stunt man?? Join me as I interview Laura Lee Connery, stuntwoman and holistic healer. Yes, a real life WonderWoman. Ironically the noun and adjective for STUNT implies the need for great skill and mastery while the verb STUNT means to prevent the growth or development of something reaching its limit. This paradox can be played with as we investigate the hero's journey. We live in a civilization that praises mastery, growth, and full development of a skill -- it's all about learning and training and doing something often enough and with enough precision to become a master. And yet, spending so much time DOING may stunt our own inner game -- the game of the human BEING, the game of deep connection to self, to others, to love, and to freedom - to BE the human we were meant to be. That latter game may actually be a returning to the original soul, returning to our own inner child, pure and un-jaded, before civilization and life happenstance uploaded all its apps, limiting beliefs and a way to indoctrinate us to conform to societal rules and behaviors. Laura Lee was an X-games athlete and world class stunt woman who then became a master of Hypnotherapy, Time Line Therapy and NLP. Not just an athlete, she utilized the power of the mind to achieve a high level of physical skill and win world stunt awards. After 25 years of intense physicality and numerous concussions , her body started to speak to her. Her nervous system was fried and the only tool she had to calm herself then was alcohol. Finally her last big concussion knocked some sense into her and she began to utilize her above modalities as well as add new tools for deeper healing, not just to become the best stunt woman, but the become her best version of herself. The universe spoke, (well maybe screamed) and this time she listened. In fact, it literally was Plant-Medicine, AYAHUASCA, which got her attention first. This led her to Medical Qigong (Chinese Shamanism), this ancient healing art taught her how to use the power of the mind to heal, not just to perform. From there, she added meditation, Yoga, and a brand new lifestyle that accompanied these more eastern traditions. Like magic, this calmed her nervous system and allowed her to begin to truly listen to her body and meet its needs. Meditation showed her how to become aware of her thoughts but even more importantly, allow them to be present and then flow through. Presently, she is a master coach in training with Accelerated Evolution academy -- their numerous tools are like shovels that allow her to dig for and then excavate and release her limiting beliefs. She can now celebrate that she is truly a healer -- she has found my soul's calling and continues to walk this more authentic path. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0496726/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk What Am I – Children’s Book Author Dr. Tina Koopersmith https://tinakoopersmith.com/what-am-i-childrens-book/ ~ More About Your Healing Playground with Dr. Tina Koopersmith ~ Dr. Tina Koopersmith has practiced Western medicine for over 30 years. But she is so much more than a physician. An integrative medicine and fertility specialist, she is a transformational healer and coach who not only brings life to her patients but reminds them that it is their responsibility and, in their power, to bring themselves back to vibrancy and vitality. Root cause healing starts with energy, emotions, communication—between your cells and your soul. As a speaker-coach-author as well as mother, nonconformist, and recovering perfectionist, she is dedicated to modifying our health care system from one focused on illness and sickness to one devoted to prevention and wellness. She reminds us all that love, play, pleasure and purpose are the secret ingredients to wellness. She starts with the premise we all have the same parts and very similar DNA, and yet we all have different experiences and imprinting. Our unique signature means we are all wired to access safety and pleasure in a slightly different fashion; this diversity is to be praised and celebrated. When our body feels safe, we can move from our “childhood” survival stress mode to our “Wise Sage Self”. Healing, recovery and regeneration thrive only when we stop resisting what is and celebrate all of life with acceptance of the NOW. Health and Wellness is nourished with empathy, compassion innovation and connection—a total integration of the mind body, the heart body, the physical body and the energetic. ALL are worthy of self-care, self-acceptance and self-love.
