Season 2: Episode 48

This episode of the HRart of It podcast is all about a classic Qigong regulatory practice called the Microcosmic Orbit. Regulation allows us to balance our energy internally, ensuring that it is distributed in the most effective way for our healing. This simple exercise is Samm’s go-to whenever she feels overwhelmed or just generally off. It’s also a beautiful way that she concludes all of the healing qigong treatments with clients at the HRart Center.

For the month of November, Samm has shared the five most recommended Qigong exercises she has given to clients in 2021. Each week she covered the intention and power of the exercise, and then we practiced together. Find the other four episodes here.

Season 2: Episode 47

Join us in this podcast episode as we continue our work on releasing excess emotion through Qigong. This time we are targeting the heart and its’ commonly stored emotion of deep anxiety. Our current global climate has given birth to new levels of anxiety in several different arenas of life. Without a way to move this energy out of the heart, we have the potential to create dense stagnations that can trigger anxiety attacks and panic attacks. Follow along to learn this simple technique.

Season 2: Episode 46

Let’s discuss the art of releasing excess emotion through Qigong healing sounds. Anger, which resides in the Liver, will tax the organ further without a healthy release. Even if you don’t consider yourself to be an angry person, you could find yourself attracting anger, in which case, you could be storing the anger of others. Regardless, at the end of the day, our Liver always needs a little more love and care.

Season 2: Episode 45

In Chinese Medicine, the kidneys are known as the energy storage tanks, which our very yang-filled lives drain quickly. In this episode of the HRart of It podcast, we focus on caring for our kidneys. The exercise Samm shares with us is a quick way to refill these tanks. It will come in handy when you need that little pick-me-up.

Season 2: Episode 44

In this episode, we begin with the simplest form of Qigong: the breath. Abdominal breathing is referred to as natural breathing in Qigong and allows us to harness the power of the breath. As we breathe, we are naturally taking in new nourishing energy with our inhale and releasing energy that does not serve us with our exhale. When we add intention to something so natural, we magnify its healing capabilities.

Season 2: Episode 42

What is the world we want to leave for our children? What is the world we want our children to live in?

These are the questions that we inevitably ask ourselves. Regardless if you are a parent or not, we all have moments where we witness the upcoming generation and wonder about the world that awaits them. It is the upcoming generation that holds the hope for a much better future if we are willing to take a look at ourselves today. In this episode, Dr. Traci Baxley joins Samm to discuss how we need to show up for our children in an intentional way. This is a path that requires us to move away from fear and move towards radical love. Dr. Baxley brings to light the powerful tools for change we can access with a shift of perspective.

Season 2: Episode 41

That midday office slump may just seem like an inevitability, but it’s actually just one of the many common symptoms of the damage we are doing to our bodies with our unhealthy eating habits! Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo, founder of the Institute of Nutritional Endocrinology and our podcast guest for today, walks us through exactly what a typical high-sugar diet is doing to us as we move through our workdays. Samm and Dr. Ritamarie discuss some practical ways to incorporate better food choices into our lunch meetings, break rooms and office potlucks. Setting the tone for a healthy lifestyle for ourselves and our teams is a massive step toward a happier, healthier and more productive workplace.

We hope you’ll join us for this inspiring episode of the HRart of It Podcast!

Season 2: Episode 40

Let’s reimagine what wellness at work could look like with this week’s podcast guest Ari Gronich. Ari starts the conversation off with the fact that our current definition of wellness just scratches the surface of what our workplaces so desperately need right now. In fact, effective and caring wellness programs can be the key to fixing a company’s biggest problems. The rewards for taking care of our people fully — not just during their time spent in the workplace but also their overall health and their home life, can have a massive effect on the culture and bottom line of a business.
