The Power to Heal is in Your Breath, really!!

Flashback! Enjoy this episode from the Powerful Questions Podcast.
This week I welcome one of my beautiful friends, Jen Quade to the show. She is a holistic nurse who runs a woman-centered practice here in Minneapolis focusing on mind-body-spirit work.
This is the first of a two-part episode because our conversation was just so good! We talk about: Her experience growing up in a very masculine environment Her life-changing trip to Brazil Breathwork Mayan abdominal massage.
Jen feels that our culture—as a whole—Is a masculine culture. So her experience of growing up as a tomboy on a farm and eventually becoming establishing a woman-centric practice with uterine massage and feminine movement has some powerful lessons for all women.
She sees her work as “building a bridge” for other women who are also looking to trust their intuition and build community. After a spot opened up in an oncology class, Jen took a deep dive into holistic healing. Several opportunities arose and she found herself studying ways to calm the nervous system.
Ahe became particularly interested in the power of breath control. Those of us who practice yoga completely understand how important breath can be!
Jen also walks us through a fascinating discussion of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and how our flight or fight response often registers everything as a threat, which can be exhausting.
She uses soft-bellying breathing which triggers the Vagus nerve. Even five minutes of breathing can pull you out of the storm and back into the calm.
This breathwork eventually lead Jen to Belize, where she studied Mayan Massage under Rosita Arvigo.
Today, interested students can find teachers all over the world by visiting arvigotherapy.com. Jen tells us about why Mayan Massage is so beneficial; the uterus is at the center of our well-being. Alignment in this area can help our entire lives flow better aiding everything from digestion to creative energy.

Be the change you wish to see in the world
Flashback! Another goodie from the Powerful Questions Podcast vault!
Today’s show is going to be a bit of a departure from my format. It’ll be a little more personal and a little more off the cuff. You see, my grandpa has been in hospice and may be passing on in the next few days. [update - the day I recorded this podcast May 9th, 2017 my Grandpa passed away]
It’s been a difficult time for my family as we have to say goodbye to this incredible man.
One of the things I love my grandpa is that he is genuinely interested in the lives of everyone around him. And not just “how’s your business going?” But he really wants to know the inner workings of my practice. And he is like that with everyone in his life his kids, grandkids, and now even the great-grandkids.
In just the past year he had to give up driving his own car, at the age of 92. And at 88 he flew out to Denver to be at our wedding.
In the past few months, I’ve been visiting him often and bringing him orange juice, coffee, and donuts. We’ve had some very authentic conversations, and we come from very different generations and disagree about many of the major issues facing the world right now.
But that doesn’t stop us from having heart-centered conversations. And I’ve come to really cherish that because there are very few people I’m close to right now who have such a different worldview.
Right now there are so many divides in the world. And when I see cruel responses posted to cruel status updates, I find it heartbreaking. When I am tempted to fire off a response I try to remember Gandhi's famous quote, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”
We must take responsibility for our own actions and contributions in the world. Looking at the other guy will not create the change we are looking for. Ask yourself, where do I need to take responsibility to be the change I want to see?"
To honor my grandpa, I am committed to putting my judgments aside and having more heart-centered conversations with others, even those I disagree with. When we do the inner work, it will create real change in the world.
It’s one of the things I love most of my work as a mindset coach. When I am able to transform limiting beliefs of just one person it can have a profound impact on the world and its consciousness.
Now, go get BIG!
