Navigating the New Normal w/Dr. Lara May S1E20
Friday, 27 March, 2020
Tools of Life is written and produced by Julie Ford of Julz of Life where we've been supporting parents and teens as they navigate the challenging richness of raising the next generation. This stage of life is full of our own "remember when" and "oh boy, here we go" moments that we can choose to either DREAD or RELISH. No stage of parenting (or life…) should need to be endured. Let's enjoy every stage. Today's Tools of Life is focused on Navigating the New Normal in the face of COVID 19 distancing orders. Parents and teens are navigating a tremendous number of uncharted territory on a normal day. With all the cancellations, postponements and uncertainties, those challenges have been amped up exponentially. We've asked Dr. Lara May to join us to talk a bit about energy and immunity and also to lead us in a grounding meditation. Dr. Lara moved to Lake Tahoe after completing her residency in Clinical Pharmacotherapy. She has worked as a clinical pharmacist in emergency rooms and adult acute care for a decade. Lara started studying and practicing reiki and energy medicine in 2014. Her passion has since grown from “band-aid medicine” into empowering people to truly heal themselves on the physical, mental and spiritual levels. Now, as a Functional Medicine Specialist, Lara has expanded her coaching practice to encompass energy medicine, intuitive healing and functional medicine. All with the intention of empowering the healing of her clients on multiple levels to restore their health and happiness. --------------------------------- At Tools of Life we offer you something to ponder, to practice and to play with. Here are today's: Ponder- “One day when you wake up, you will find that you have become a forest. You have grown roots and found strength in them that no one thought you had. You have become stronger and more beautiful, full of life-giving qualities. You have learned to take all the negativity around you and turn it into oxygen for easy breathing. A host of wild creatures live inside you and you call them stories. A variety of beautiful birds rest inside your mind and you call them memories. You have become an incredible self-sustaining thing of epic proportions. And you should be so proud of yourself, of how far you have come from the seeds of who you used to be.” – Nikita Gill, You Have Become a Forest Practice - Honor and mourn/acknowledge the loss of OLD Normal Be open to the possibilities and ways to thrive in NEW Normal Choose to take small, do-able steps toward creative solutions in NEW Normal. The meditation that Dr. Lara led us through - at min 26:30 - 32:00. It's a beautiful 5 1/2 minutes. So CALMING AND GROUNDING! Play with- Step 3 - creative solutions- Make it FUN! Have a dance party! Movement is GROUNDING! ------------------------ Resources: Website: drlaramay.com Social media @drlaramay Podcast-Light Body Radio (drlaramay.com/lightbodyradio) Blog: drlaramay.com/blog ------------------------ Tools of Life-For more tools, contact Julie Ford at julie@julzoflife.comor follow Julz of Life on Facebook and Instagram. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tools-of-life/support
