Subtle energies, our essential health, joy, and pleasure, with Terna

In this episode of Infinite Earth Body, I interviewed my dear friend and Qi Gong Teacher, Terna Tilley-Gyado. Terna is also a life coach and Jin Shin Jyutsu - Facilitator Healer, and has experience working as a clinical trauma responder, writer, performer, and has master’s degrees in counseling and global mental health, among many other realms of deep study and practice.

Terna shared about:

• Tapping into deeper awareness and subtle energies in your body
• Healing as coming into wholeness and having fun
• Coming home to be held by our ancestors
• Feeling into our essential health & harmony, despite chronic pain and health challenges
• How mental health issues are not only individual, but systemic, and a reasonable response to an oppressive world
• Allowing ourselves to soften from chronic tension patterns from trauma
• Connecting to ancient ancestral frequencies that all of us contain
