Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  Pleasure is critical to a well lived magical life. One of my mentors, Emily Fletcher, who teaches ZIVA meditation and ZIVA magic, reminds us of the importance of visualization and somatization of our innermost dreams and desires and simultaneously the necessity of vibrating high enough to attract our dreams. What she reminds us: is that feeling good, no matter what, but without spiritual bypass, is essential to magnetizing our dream fulfillment. Living a pleasure-filled life is possible for all of us, but it requires us to continue to play at life and move back to that pleasure-filled state. Again, if life is really lived in the NOW, in this moment right now—then all that really is, is only RIGHT NOW and we can make a decision, right now, that right now - I am going to feel good. With this tool, life is so much less of a struggle and instead a PLAYGROUND for new discoveries, always.  Lets learn how to bring more pleasure into your life!

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  Life is a box of surprises! In this episode, we step into the world of Mayte Garcia: a world where magic and fairytales really do come true. And yet, we learn that even in all fairytales, there is drama and heartache and pain. Life and healing are about how you approach your story, how you resonate and dance with the highs and lows of life. Nothing is ever perfect: humaning includes pleasure and pain. Everybody's magical carpet ride of life includes times when it feels like the carpet is being pulled away from you and we must learn to trust that the universe never abandons us, even when we feel completely lost and untethered. Her life as a dancer began at age 3; by 12 she was a professional and by age 16 she entered the musical world of PRINCE. One by one, her life has been punctuated by surprises both positive and negative. From a fairy tale romance with a celebrity to tragedy and despair after the loss of her son just days after his birth. Her life has been a roller coaster but no matter the ups or downs, she has survived, even when she thought she could not. Her saviours came in different boxes: from a furry puppy, to healing words, to an email that led to the magical and easy adoption of her daughter.  From ballet and belly dancing to writing and performing, she is proof that the human spirit and body has incredible resilience. Listen to her story and support her in her mission, and PRINCE's, to give back and bring more love to the world, one step at a time. Mayte Garcia is a world-renowned dancer, actress and internationally best selling author. Mayte is a talented entertainer and triple threat that can act, sing and dance – finding success on all fronts. Mayte’s success is evidenced by a drive and work ethic that goes all the way back to her childhood. Born in Alabama to parents of Puerto Rican descent, Mayte grew up all over the United States and in Germany (due to her father’s career in the military), and spent her summers in Puerto Rico with her extended family. A dancer from when she was basically out of the womb, Mayte began classical ballet and belly dancing at the age of just three years old. Inspired by her mother who was a professional bellydancer, Mayte became the world’s youngest professional belly dancer at the tender age of 8. She was even featured on the popular show, “That’s Incredible.” While still in Germany, Mayte went to a Prince concert with her family. At the concert, her mother and father noticed that his song “Thieves in the Temple” had a very Arabic vibe to it. Mayte’s mother told her to send Prince a tape of her belly dancing to his song to show him her talents. Although she laughed off her mother’s suggestion, she eventually obliged. At another Prince concert just a week later, Mayte’s mother convinced some members of the New Power Generation (NPG) to give the video to Prince. Ten minutes later, Mayte was asked backstage by Prince, and for two years, they kept in touch. Finally, when Mayte turned 18, Prince asked her to be a part of the NPG. From 1992 to 1996, she was a featured dancer and background singer with Prince and the NPG. As such, she appeared in several music videos, as well as performing on tours, award shows, national and international television shows, and more. In 2017 as the world was mourning the loss of Prince, Mayte released her memoirs of that time in her life - “The Most Beautiful: My Life With Prince.” The heartfelt and touching autobiography soared to the top of several best seller lists and has been translated into several languages. Soon after the book was released, Mayte – noticing that many in the musical community were still grieving, decided to go back to her belly dancing roots to help people move through their pain. She developed a belly dancing class – the “Shimmy, Sweat and Smile with Mayte” experience. When not dancing, teaching, acting or writing – Mayte’s other passion is animal rescue.  As Mayte says “Keep Moving…Keep Learning….and Keep Loving!” https://mayte.com/ https://live4lovecharities.org/ mayterescue.com https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Most-Beautiful-Audiobook/B01N6VFQII?source_code=AUDORWS0718179KY7 *Listen now on the Inspired Choices Network app!  https://www.inspiredchoicesnetwork.com/links/ 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.

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  Surfing between my 2 brains - juggling my inner critic and inner best friend. For years, living with myself vacillated between a daily celebration of life and a trip to a torture chamber disguised as a palace. All children are trying to survive in an unpredictable world where all the rules are not yet known.  I am unconditional love, joy and never-ending play--always have been, always will be. I love to move my body, to learn new things, to befriend strangers, human and furry, and celebrate breathing and aliveness. I have unbounded energy that I couldn't contain AND sugar and spice and everything nice living in a dress with lace and frills was NOT my version of fun. Give me a tshirt and shorts and let me play in the mud or climb the trees or race around the yard playing tag. Years before Title 9 was law, this way of being baffled my parents and my teachers and I felt I couldn't fully be me. I became an amazing chameleon, fitting in everywhere but never really feeling I belonged anywhere.  My inner judge disguised herself well. Whereas my inner best friend loved me so much, always wanting me to be better and better. The purpose of life was to improve yourself daily - trying to be the PERFECT version of me, but PERFECTION is impossible, and so it’s a staircase that leads nowhere but to disappointment. When you are raised to be a brain on a stick, you can’t escape into your body. Learning to reprogram my operating system, I can now befriend myself by spending time in my body rather than my logical brain. Like a chiropractic adjustment, this readjusted my nervous system. Today I will share some of these fabulous mental fitness tools!

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  In today's episode Dr Tina chats with Justine Reiss. We discuss how the PAUSE during the PANDEMIC, was her PIVOT point to realign her body and her PURPOSE. She took the time to PAUSE to revisit her past, using her present self to re-understand childhood as well as her marriage and her bout with breast cancer. Looking through her life from her new lens of spirituality, it was like she put on a new set of glasses. She gained clarity of vision and changed her life to realign with a deeper version of herself. And now she wants to help others manifest this in their life. Justine remembers a time when her voice was small and hidden behind the scenes. She fell in love with acting as a child but something kept her from stepping up and out. Years of voice over acting honed her craft but still she was unmoored. After her bout with breast cancer as well the infamous pandemic pause, she emerged more empowered and more willing to take the stage. Moving in front of the camera, she now positions herself as a purpose driven woman and role model, empowering others to find their authentic voice, to step up and speak out. Whether she is in Los Angeles or around the world in Africa, she is dedicated to empowering and supporting women.  Justine Reiss is a multi-award-winning voiceover artist, bestselling author and Laughterworx Facilitator who teaches VO talent and C-suite CEOs to infuse emotional tone into their words - bringing presence learned from Justin Michael Williams to every performance and red carpet interview. With her voice heard in myriad commercials for brands like Mitsubishi and Starbucks and her cast role on Dining Divas CA spotlighting purpose-filled causes across Southern California, she ignites the voice, helping other step out of fear into possibility. A proud mom of two adult sons and globe-trotting humanitarian, Justine empowers African micro-funded women with menstrual equity solutions while continuing to inspire us all to reclaim our authentic voice. *Listen now on the Inspired Choices Network app!  https://www.inspiredchoicesnetwork.com/links/ 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.

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  Portals to the parasympathetic state and healing - pleasure, purpose, pause, and play. So how do we heal… Healing happens when we activate our parasympathetic nervous system. It all starts with safety. What does safety in your body feel like? When we are safe, the heart rate is usually low, but the variability between beats (or HRV) is high. The breath rate is slow, and there is a comfortable rhythm between breaths, usually with longer exhales. How to actively access this state varies from individual to individual: breath work, meditation, yoga, movement, touch, water, music, even gentle restraint, ensuring the right environment are all portals in. Sometimes somatic therapy or guided psychospiritual practices can help us access this state Once we reach this place of groundedness, energy can be released from struggle & resistance. It's like a recharging of our battery packs, energy is now free to move, problems dissolve with new thinking, clarity of purpose can arrive, creativity and activation of pleasure and play as well as service and flow becomes a new norm.

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  From Alienation and Addiction to PRESENCE and COMMUNITY—Sage Robinson is on a mission to eradicate the American epidemic of drug addiction that starts in childhood. Bouncing back from losses due to addiction - not just surviving the grief, but changing the planet one human at a time. Addiction to drugs is but one addiction of our modern age, but it may be the most deadly—killing so many young people before they are able to heal from the pain that caused the addiction in the first place. Accidents are the #1 killer in young adults, suicide is #2, drug overdose has skyrocketed since 2020 with overdosing now the #3 killer of teens and adolescents, usually from FENTANYL—a synthetic opiate made for anesthesia purposes. Sage Robinson is on a mission to change this trajectory. Well acquainted with drug and alcohol addiction, she has been sober for many years. In fact, she is a masterful life coach who is active in the recovery community helping people transcend their childhood traumas and heal their inner psyche through psychospiritual techniques. As much as she loves the one on one healings with adults, she is on a mission to HALT the growing disconnection so prevalent in American youth. To PREVENT this epidemic, her new nonprofit: nobodyplansondying.org is dedicated to ROOT CAUSE Healing by getting into schools to help our young teens learn how to NOT disconnect, how NOT to distract, and how to NOT fall into the path of experimentation or checking out.

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  It’s killing us. It tries to kill me—daily! And I have learned to befriend it, rather than compete with it. Competition with myself or others hijacks our nervous system and promotes illness. And in today’s age of social media and the information explosion—it can become a daily struggle — SOCIAL MEDIA magnifies comparison, and with it rising rates of anxiety, depression (especially in our younger years). Chronic illness is on the rise as is many diseases that heretofore were adult only diseases and now they are presenting in our youth and young adulthood — SOCIAL MEDIA also magnifies the information explosion—there is so much out there. Weeding through it all to find truths can be overwhelming and can really negatively affect our nervous system. We will dive into this—and play with opposites. How can we hold our inner judge and our inner best friend simultaneously? How can we “compete” to be the best version of ourselves AND simultaneously remember collaboration and interdependence is really our secret sauce? How can one individual make a difference in the world, or even just make one decision and ensure they are doing life RIGHT?

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  Healing yourself from Crohn's disease? What is an autoimmune disease and how do you get it? What happens when you hear "you have a serious, life threatening illness", especially when you are so young, and how do you choose your path to healing?   When faced with scary illnesses, most people go to their doctors & follow the Western medicine path--how does one learn there are other avenues, other roads to healing?   Alexander J Fox will discuss how illness was pivotal in his transformation from sick patient to his own healer. Not only does the body keep the score but the body is a healing machine-- how did you not only find your instruction manual but learn to decipher and read it so that you could repair your own body? Alexander J. Fox was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2015. His world turned upside down.  Severe anxiety and depression consumed him. Nothing brought him joy, not even being with the love of his life. Alexander lost weight, self confidence, the will to enjoy life and even the love of his  life. He lost so much, all that remained were feelings of shame, guilt, and despair. Then, in 2018, something life-changing happened. While traveling across Europe and the US, he experienced a Spiritual Remembrance. Walking the streets of Scotland, he found himself on a familiar path, a place he knew from a dream. It was here that Alexander began exploring spirituality and energy healing. This journey led him to Reiki, Yoga, Breathwork, Mindset Coaching, Sound Healing, Psychic Mediumship, and other practices—tools that helped him break through personal barriers. Alexander's struggles had given him purpose and a new found passion to help others.  Today, he feels confident, grateful, and blessed. Since 2022, through the FOX WELLNESS DEN, Alexander haas inspired and shared his spiritual gifts with thousands of people from all walks of life, across 6 continents, 15 countries, and 33 US states. https://www.thefoxwellnessden.com/ *Listen now on the Inspired Choices Network app!  https://www.inspiredchoicesnetwork.com/links/ 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.

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  Why personalized medicine and healing needs to be adjusted for you. Not too much, not too little, just the right amount.   Life is like a see-saw with ups and downs, ins and outs, past and future.

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  HOLISTIC healing means we treat and help the WHOLE human heal. What does that even mean?? For me, that requires a new interpretation of what it means to be human. In this episode, I will dive deep into the myriad ways that I have re-imagined what being a human means and how and why wholistic root cause healing is critical. We will discuss: Are we human or humanoid? (lets remember our microbiome) Are we one body or 4? Mind body, physical body, heart (emotional) body, energy body. Are we energy or matter? Both. Are we spirits having a human existence or humans who are spiritually inclined? We are symmetrical except for our PINEAL gland—what is the significance of that?

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.

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Western medicine has so totally monopolized our mindset, that we have begun to believe:  1) that if you don’t go to the doctor yearly you will get sick, as if the visits are what prevent real illness &  2) that medicines and surgery are the only options to fix disease.  Yet with the plethora of drugs that we now have and the incredible advances in surgery and surgical devices in the last century—we don’t have less disease, but rather exponentially an increase in chronic physical and mental illness.   Western allopathic medicine has been my home and my career for my entire life, I appreciate and welcome and celebrate the evolving science that continues to help us make sense of the human body.  But I am here to speak the praises of INTEGRATIVE AND ROOT cause medicine which utilizes a multitude of healing techniques.  Today we will talk again about the intersection of  your erotic blueprint and choosing healing tools that work for YOUR Nervous system—because pleasure and activating your parasympathetic nervous system is essential to your healing.

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  It’s never too late to find new gifts to share with the world. Our healing journey is so personal and healing can include healing our story, our thoughts, our perspectives. It can mean confronting our heart and all our emotions—those that have been suppressed or perhaps overly emoted. Healing may also include repairing our relationships with our younger selves or with others we have met along the way. The story arc for so many is education—career—perhaps family—and then retirement. But as we live longer and longer—what does retirement or life after kids have to look like? And is this a good time to go on our personal healing journey—our modern day vision quest? We are taught to find the path, the career, & get the education that will ensure we can wake up every morning to go to WORK and “BECOME” something. Simultaneously, we are pushed to find a mate so we can have a family and reproduce—with the unspoken assumption that we are supposed to be married AND monogamous. That we are not whole or complete until our new adult reality show includes the following:  mom/dad, brother/sister , 2 pets and a house with a picket fence. This path to adulthood is well mapped out. BUT what do we do on the other side of life—after kids grow up. After 10 or 20 or 30 or 40 years in the same line of work or family building. Do we change our life? Do we go back to school? Do we change our relationships with ourselves? With others? With life itself? Is healing somehow tied to our personal life path? Is illness perhaps tied to rocks and obstacles on our personal road—and does illness show up to metaphorically and physically force us to confront challenges that we have been stuffing away and hiding from? These questions and more will be discussed with an exceptional life coach that chose the coaching path after a lifetime of experience. Who better to be coaching life, than those who have lived it? Sue-Ann MacCara has over 30 years of experience as a coach, facilitator, and corporate trainer.  She will guide you to discover your soul's purpose, your truth, your voice.  She calls herself a "coddiwomple coach", because the word coddiwomple is British slang for “to travel in a purposeful manner towards an as yet unknown destination”.  Her purpose is love, and the journey she takes you on is to lovingly unleash your freedom with ease, and grace (and a little bit of naughty!). Sue-Ann is a master coach and trainer with Accelerated Evolution Academy, helping individuals transform their lives.  As a blueprint-informed coach, she will help couples create intimacy and restore trust. She is trained as a facilitator for Lou Tice’s Investment in Excellence program and has assisted as a Landmark Forum SELP coach, helping individuals and teams develop the skills and mindset needed for success. As a corporate trainer, Sue-Ann specialized in communication skills, customer service, and time management.  She has extensive direct selling experience, including being in the top 10 for team sales country-wide and receiving the highest award for promoting leaders. Her passion for making a difference in the world extends beyond her coaching and training work. She has assisted in the creation of the Great Room, a sacred space for prostituted and addicted women to find safety and worked in that arena for 8 years. She has been married for 36 years (along with its twists and turns), is still deeply in love, and her 2 adult children never cease to delight me. www.coddiwompler.com Favourite topics, what brings you peace, what lights you up, relationships (specifically with yourself), not being enough, not belonging. “Be freedom unleashed with ease and grace (and a little bit of naughty!).”    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.

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  I can never get enough PLAY—I am a Shapeshifter — what’s your Blueprint for Pleasure?? Understanding Jaiya’s Blueprints for Pleasure …. Is a secret tool for wellness. Pleasure is your superpower tool to guide your body back to health. The body wants to be well, but the brain’s well intentioned but misguided survival, judges keep your body on high alert always scanning for danger. With the machine in ON mode for hours and days at a time without downtime to truly change state to recharge — the body’s energy stores soon get depleted. Living in energy debt — affects all Body processing— mental Physical emotional and spiritual. When one body is rundown, it may borrow energy from another— and soon there is a chain reaction and all systems start to fall apart. Illness can start physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually and spill over to affect the other systems.. Conversely healing in one realm can radically change the others. For instance—when we think differently —our emotions change— this changes behavior, which affects our actions and connections and  consequences— which in turn changes the next thoughts etc. Behavior changes and habits can change energy states - this ripple effect may change emotions and thoughts and so on. Also knowing our blueprints can help us laser focus and choose our actions, thoughts and behaviors which increase our pleasure and energy states— and this ripples out to help us heal. Conversely— knowing our blueprints can advise us when and where and how we are likely to be triggered— to prepare or intervene before any energy vampire sucks the life out of us. And knowing the blueprints of those around us— healers and patients alike —as well as knowing which healing therapies are likely to appeal to which blueprint may help design the best treatment plan if you get sick— or the best wellness regimens/rituals to stay healthy. Furthermore, all of this is a process and somewhat fluid so allowing for variations or evolution is also critical.

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  Emotions are our guidance system; our North star helps us navigate what we want and don’t want. They are not something to be bulldozed, ignored, or transmuted into something else. Pain and other uncomfortable emotions are part of being human—they are to be embraced to be loved to be felt—We need to learn how to PLAY with our emotions—rather than making emotions the enemy. We need to stop trying to ignore emotions, stop hiding from them, stop stuffing them away, stop distracting ourselves from them or numbing ourselves with pills or other substances just to not feel them. We treat them like enemies to be avoided at all costs—rather than getting to know our enemies—after all enemies, like strangers, may just be friends we haven’t met yet. As children, if it was not safe to experience and express anger, shame, or sadness, we don’t have the preparation to understand how to use them as guides to help us move from the unwanted to the wanted. We judge them as ‘wrong” and then do not learn how to process them through. This will be mirrored in our relationships and careers. The unexpressed, unintegrated feeling states will remain as orphans, constantly trying to be recognized and seen. We become enemies to ourselves. We think emotions are the problem and try to sedate them or make them go away.  But to be whole, all parts of us must be acknowledged and included, even the messy ones. This is integration. This is love. Jason Brody, M.S. in Psychology, had his first spiritual awakening when he was 28. This impelled him to go on  a search to study the role emotions play in creating perspective, and to deeply explore effective healing modalities. This involved going through processes with over a dozen Awakened Masters of various disciplines from the Eastern Mystical and Western Psychological traditions. Bringing together the best, Jason developed The Awakening Intensive, a step-by-step process for coming into right relationship with our feelings and deconstructing childhood trauma.  Awakening is a portal to a level where you deeply explore the roots of unhealed trauma and directly experience the power to move on from it. Jason Brody received certification in the Fischer-Hoffman (Quadrinity) Process, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and Ericksonian Hypnosis. He is also trained in Rebirthing, Sandplay and Dreamwork, and Family Constellation Therapy.

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  If healing requires play, how do we continue to play as adults. First we need to know how we like to play. There are more than 7 billion people on this planet –do we really think we should all be the same? Bees spend their day BE-ing a BEE. Trees stand tall and grow as a tree. We humans spend our days HUMAN-ING?? No we spend our days working and have forgotten HUMANING really means connecting and loving—this is more important than the DO—ing we get so busy DOING. But how we connect, what we love to do—that’s where we differ.  Water droplets are all the same, but those same water droplets get cold and become snowflakes and not 2 are alike. We humans are 2/3 water in our human form—we are both the same and different. There are so so many “typing” systems to understand ourselves better under all the layers, all the shells and skins. Today I am going to review the EROTIC BLUEPRINTs and the 5 archetypes because they really help people understand their pleasure map. And again prioritizing pleasure and play in your life may really turn that PNS back on and encourage your body to live in vitality and we want to maximize your HEALTH span and not just count the years. We all want a life of JOY and ECSTASY but so many think its out of reach—NO WAY! Its available to all.

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  Last episode we chatted about how to PLAY. We discussed how to rediscover your TURN ON, rediscover your inner child, how to remember yourself back to wonder and curiosity. ALERT: its when we stay turned on and curious that we activate that PNS, that part of us that keeps us healthy. SO why don’t we stay youthful and turned on? It’s because somewhere we got stuck asking the wrong question: What do you want to be when you grow up? Which really meant what do you want to DO when you are an ADULT. That question is a killer!! DON’T GROW UP: growing up equates to death. Adulting is not an endgame in itself. Life is not a destination, life is a journey. When you stop traveling, you stay stuck, let down your curiosity, start judging everyone doing things differently from you—because you are doing it “THE RIGHT WAY” as opposed to your unique way.—their way may be perfect for them. You get to DO many things in this lifetime. Yes it’s an amazing goal to become a MASTER at something…. You train and learn with teachers, but your goal is to perfect your own unique style of mastery not to become a carbon copy of them. Moreover, at different times of your life you can pivot—using the skills you previously mastered and re-purpose them in your new career or life experience. A therapist might be the best therapist but she may take time off the career path to focus on her children— starting from scratch with a newborn all the while using her skills of communication and translating these to build her family relationships. You can be a black belt in karate, but when you want to learn jujitsu or kravmaga—you have start again at the beginning at the white belt. Education should continue all through your life. The fundamentals of education at the younger years and college years are better spent teaching resilience and persistence as well as values. Let’s teach WHO are you? What are you? HOW do you want to feel as you travel your life path. What values do you value and can you remain true to your values as you choose careers and partners and friends? How do you want to play in your life so that work IS PLAY and you live in a turned on state? And is there a system to help you get back to that PNS, that Turned on state—can you stop RESISTING life, stop JUDGING life and others and JUST GO WITH THE FLOW. How do some people manage that?? TUNE in to learn how you too can manage this with ease and grace.

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  The system I was trained in: Western medicine, is a reductionist system. IT breaks the body into its parts and then names and blames illness based on where the symptoms appear. Healers are trained in one system or body part and as science advanced, our specialists became ever more specialized. Yet..We forget the old adage/song:  Song by The Delta Rhythm Boys ‧ 1956…our toe bone connected to your foot bone Your foot bone connected to your heel bone…its all interconnected All organs connect to each other, the heart connects it all together, our breath breathes life into all our parts and our mind and body cannot be separated. Our thoughts and emotions are sounds, feelings and sensations that affect our body, just as our experiences do and just as the food and water we eat and drink. We need to put it all together and remember dis-ease in the body is just the body and microbiome speaking to us to change our life in some way to get back to healthy. AND the way back to healthy by necessity means we need to activate our PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM(PNS) —the rest and digest, relax and reproduce nervous system and modern society , especially in the USA, does everything to PREVENT our activation of this healing system. We will chat about the super easy and free ways to TURN on this PNS—and guess what the best way back to PNS is; through PLAY and through SAFETY. 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.

Monocultures and monopolies are never ideal—nature loves diversity and so does healing—we need to begin to pull from ancient and modern, mind and body, energy and matter to help our patients –YOU—discover what will help them live their best life in the best health.
