Ep. 168 - Emotional Freedom and Health

In my meditation this week, the topic of Emotional Freedom came up.This is a juicy lifelong concept that we will never finish discussing.I know that many people shy away from dealing with uncomfortable emotions, but we free ourselves when we are able to just BE.There's a flow state we can access, where you are surfing those ups and downs. And just like when you get really good at surfing, you don't mind the big intense waves as much. Emotional freedom also lets your body breathe and your cells sing!So, in today's podcast, I'll be unpacking the topic of Emotional Freedom and how to shift to access more of it.💫 In Stillness,Dr. Arlene DijamcoThe MultiDimensional MD0:00Introduction0:57What is Emotional Freedom?5:52Consciousness and Self-Awareness9:25Spaciousness and Gentleness13:15Grounding and Centering14:18Flowing through Change with Gratitude

Ep. 165 - Energetic Space Clearing - The MultiDimensional MD

Hi everyone,Happy Wednesday! For some reason I was called to share with you some ways that you can maintain the energy of your space - whether your home or office or other space you spend a lot of time in. To me it is a regular part of self-care. Then, the space that you live in can take on a more healing vibe.Here are other times you might consider energetic space clearing:- You’ve had a major life transition (death, divorce, new baby,new home, or other shift ) .- You’ve felt stressed out or anxious and can' t relax at home.- You feel like you are sharing the space with another presence.- The air in your home feels heavy.- You don’ t feel more relaxed when you get home.- You are having t rouble sleeping due to unease.- There always seems to be something wrong with the house —more so than expected for normal house maintenance.- Your neighbor keeps bothering you. (You need clear boundaries. )- You want to sell your home quickly and get the most value.I've done many energetic space clearings, but mainly, I would love for you to know how to maintain the health of your own space. If everyone tended to their spaces, then it would create a more loving resonance around the world. Of course, do what feels comfortable to you. This isn't something to be flippant about. At the same time there are easy ways to approach energetic space clearing that I'll talk about in this podcast. And, if you need more help, I'm here for you.0:00Introduction2:22When to consider an energetic clearing of your home or space4:19How an energetic space clearing could help6:42Physical preparation for an energetic space clearing7:58Creating sacred space11:54Assistance form herbs and flower essences16:07Incorporating the elements21:41Notes from spirit

Ep. 164 - How to Create an Emotionally Safe Space for Yourself and Others - The MultiDimensinoal MD

Each week, I meditate on what to talk about on this podcast. Recently, the theme of emotional safety came up. Kids not feeling safe to be themselves. Partners feeling like they can’t share with each other. Boundaries being invaded. Emotional safety is vital to healing on a deeper level.Emotional safety is also something that we can create and nurture, both for ourselves and loved ones. With all that is going on in the world, it’s important to take the time to check in with how you are feeling so that you can process and flow with life and all its emotions.0:00Introduction1:16What an emotionally UNSAFE environment feels like3:03What is Emotional Safety?4:54Love honor and respect yourself6:00Neutral acknowledgement - no defense or guilt-tripping7:31Be curious instead of judgemental10:08Show up10:56Let your thought, words, actions, body language align12:11When dealing with unknowns, say what you do know even if it's difficult14:42Give thanks and love17:00Respecting space and boundaries when needed17:58Repeat

Ep. 161 - Dietary Fats - An Overview - The MultiDimensional MD

Happy Wednesday!Today we are going to do a mini-med school on healthy and hazardous fats in our diet. I've noticed that people love to see photos and graphics in the podcasts!So, I'll tour you through some of the basic molecular chemistry structures of fatty acids.What are saturated vs monosaturated vs polyunsaturated fats?What are omega-3s vs omega-6s?Why does it matter?Every cell membrane in our body requires fats to ensure membrane integrity and proper protein signaling and function and more.Our brains are full of fats! The myelin sheath is a fatty later of cells that wraps and insulates the axons of nerve cells so that their electrical signals get sent smoothly. Your thoughts are literally electricity, so this is uber-important for cognition.Your body needs fatty acids to make certain hormones, including cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. If you have adrenal fatigue or other hormonal imbalances, then listen up.I'll also go over other illnesses that could benefit from adjusting what kinds of fats you eat.Join me NOW for Ep. 161 - What you need to know about - An Overview - on The MultiDimensional MD.Lots of love,Dr. Arlene Dijamco0:00Introduction3:37Hydrogenation and Trans Fats9:07Saturated Fats11:33Medium Cain Triglycerides and Fatty Acids15:01Monounsaturated Fats16:46Polyunsatureated Fats: Omega-3s vs Omega-6s23:31Omega-3s health benefits

Ep. 159 - Post-Concussion Syndrome, An Integrative Approach

In this week's meditation, post-concussion syndrome came up... these are a constellation of signs and symptoms that can linger after a concussion.Sometimes, the effects will be obvious with immediate headache and dizziness. Other times, the effects will be more insidious, occurring over time. You might not even realize that the way you are feeling can be due to a prior concussion.I see this commonly with attention and focus issues, brain fog, anxiety, depression, as well as ongoing headaches and even hormonal issues.An impact to the head can affect you in so many different ways. If you have any of the above issues and have had a known or possible head injury (regardless of how many years ago) please watch this video. Even difficult birth could possibly have post-concussive effects.In this video, I'll review how I tend to approach concussions and post-concussion syndrome from MultiDimensional perspectives, including- cranial osteopathy- homeopathy- nutrition and supplements- home exercises and other therapies0:00Introduction2:05Definition of Concussion and Post-Concussion Syndrome5:28Signs and Symptoms of a Concussion and Post Concussion Syndrome8:51Collaborative and Integrative Approach9:04Cranial osteopathy16:22Homeopathy19:10Nutrition and Supplements28:49Home Exercises and Other Therapies
