The MultiDimensional MD - Waking Up Medicine

Ep. 174 - Olfaction, Emotions, and Intuitive Smell with Dr. Jim Gaydos - on The MultiDimensional MD

Hi everyone!Each week, I'll meditate on a topic to talk about, and today I thought we would discuss olfaction and how it relates to emotions and intuition. We don't always realize how important our sense of smell is until it is affected by a virus like COVID-19 or a physical injury. You can also use your sense of smell to learn about your emotions and possibly stuck stress or trauma patterns. Joining me in this podcast is my friend and colleague Dr. Jim Gaydos, who is an osteopath and co-teaches courses with me. He has an intuitive knack for smell and he'll share some of his stories with us as well.Join us for this podcast if you or someone you love has experienced- anosmia or altered sense of smell- food addictions- stress or anxiety- memory issuesor are highly sensitive or are interested in intuitive development.0:00Introduction1:33Smell is a Primal Sense3:09Olfaction and Emotions8:48Olfaction Taste and Your Relationship to Food14:01Intuitive Smell

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
