Peace flow

Tags

Peace originates with the flow of things—its heart is like the movement of the wind and waves. The Way is like the veins that circulate blood through our bodies, following the natural flow of the life force. If you are separated in the slightest from that divine essence, you are far off the path. Morihei Ueshiba

“Hilton Koppe was a beloved country GP for 30 years before an unexpected health crisis of his own forced him to reassess everything (R)

Hilton Koppe grew up knowing his parents wanted him to become a doctor and so when he got the marks to make it into medicine, they were overjoyed.

By the time he was 30, he’d started working as a country GP.  Hilton then became a beloved local doctor in Northern NSW, and he worked there for more than three decades.

But a few years ago, Hilton’s own health suddenly went awry. He started experiencing constant neck pain, and then the side of his face went numb.

He was sent him for an MRI, which revealed nothing.

But then Hilton’s own GP gave him an unexpected diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, related in part to his work as a doctor.

This news up-ended almost everything about Hilton’s life.

This episode of Conversations explores medicine, Australia’s medical system, Judaism, migration, post WW2 migration, Jewish families, Australian multi culturalism, family dynamics, health, wellbeing, PTSD, trauma, mental health diagnosis, South Africa, fascism.

Hilton’s memoir is called One Curious Doctor.”

Movement Therapy

Tags

Dance movement therapy (DMT) is a form of psychotherapy that uses movement to improve a person’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It’s based on the idea that there’s a connection between our bodies and our minds, and that movement can be a way to express and explore our thoughts and feelings.
DMT can be used to help people with a variety of conditions, including:
* Mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD
* Physical health conditions such as chronic pain, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke

In a DMT session, a therapist will typically use a variety of movement techniques, such as improvisation, mirroring, and guided imagery, to help the client explore their emotions and experiences. The therapist will also observe the client’s movement patterns, which can provide clues about their emotional state and coping mechanisms.
DMT can be an effective treatment for a variety of people, and it can be particularly helpful for those who find it difficult to express themselves.

I’ve been trained as a Dance Movement Therapist starting in 1981 with the Halprin Method for 15 or so years, various expressive arts workshops over the decades, and lastly a masters in counseling and dance movement therapy from one of the few universities that offer such a program in the U.S.A..

An ai rabbit hole is called what?

So what do you call an ai rabbit hole?….. “The concept of corporate personhood is a legal doctrine that grants certain rights and responsibilities to corporations, similar to those held by natural persons.”
… so I go a little deeper


“A person is recognized as having certain rights and responsibilities from birth, whereas a corporations legal standing is derived from and defined by the laws under which it was formed.”
…. ok, maybe deeper

“The issue of campaign donations by corporations is significantly intertwined with the legal doctrine of corporate personhood, particularly in the context of the First Amendment  guarantee of free speech.”
…and the deepyest yet ….

“A key element in the debate is the legal concept that spending money in political campaigns constitutes a form of free speech. The argument is that by donating to or spending money to support or oppose candidates or political ideas, corporations are expressing their views.”
