Rob Stewart – Becoming Curious About Your Inner Landscape

In this Conversations With Healers episode, my guest is Rob Stewart, Hypnotist, Past-Life Regression Practitioner, Astrologer, and a Scientist. Rob and I talked about:

  • His physical, emotional and spiritual healing journey from Lyme disease and mold toxicity,
  • How self-understanding may lead to self-love, forgiveness, and acceptance. How metaphors that can help us get close to our physical symptoms and conditions,
  • His curiosity in the unknown and unseen leading him to the healing practices he offers today,
  • What hypnosis and past life regression are and how they can be helpful for you. How do past life regression and hypnosis relate and differ,
  • How our subconscious works with symbolism and metaphors,
  • Trust and vulnerability during a healing session,
  • How it feels to be a male in the predominantly female healing business,
  • The importance of healing the inner male and offering healing services geared towards men,
  • And more.

My favorite healing nuggets from Rob are “When I am out of alignment when I am in anxiety or fear, the body hurts, I get instant feedback.” and “Real men look at their wounds.  Modern culture conditions men to disconnect from our emotions and be ‘tough’.  What if true strength came from looking at our own vulnerabilities?”

You can find out more about Rob and his work at his website. Rob offers all his services in-person in NH and online through Skype, and is available for a 30-minute meet and greet to learn more about what he offers. Rob is offering a two-hour free healing session to one of our listeners. All you need to do is share this blog post with someone you love by January 24th 2020 and comment and say ‘shared’ on the A Drop Of Om Facebook post with this podcast.

Have You Listened To Your Needs Today?

Creative Mornings Talk

My talk on taking care of the many layers of your needs is available to watch. This is a super important subject near and dear to my heart. Healing begins with recognizing, naming, prioritizing and tending to your needs. I hope you can find five minutes to listen to this talk at the lovely Creative Mornings Portsmouth November gathering (my portion starts at minute 8:20). If you have the time, I really recommend you to listen to the entire talk, there were some amazing speakers there that day.

I am currently working on a deeply healing online course on this subject. More info on that soon, stay tuned!

Epsom Salt Bath Favorites

Epsom salt baths are a wonderful way to not just relax your body but also help integrate any healing work you may have done. I often recommend my clients to take the time for a salt bath right after a healing session. Here’s why:

  • Being in saltwater deeply relaxes your nervous system. Being in saltwater is a lot like being in the womb, you get to be held and deeply cared for. Our bodies innately know this feeling and love when we are able to reproduce it intentionally.
  • Epsom salts help pull impurities out of your system and deeply nourish you. Magnesium and sulfate ions seep in through your pores and deeply nourish your body. Epsom salts also help you release any energetic particles you need to release.
  • Being deeply relaxed enhances your system’s (body+energy field) ability to move through the transformation of receiving energy healing. It helps your body redistribute, digest and absorb any new energy you received while releasing what needs to go and catalyzing the transformation that is already happening.

Here’s how I recommend you to prepare your salt bath:

  • If you have a bathtub, fill it with lukewarm water to your comfort level. Add at least 2 cups of Epsom salt. People usually assume that just a little bit of salt would be enough, you need at least 1 lb. of salt to feel the benefits.
  • If you have a foot wash container, fill it with lukewarm water and add at least 1/2 cups of Epsom salt. While I definitely prefer a bath, I find that a foot bath can be just as effective and relaxing if you are short on time or don’t have a bathtub.

I recommend using an earplug to avoid ear infections and buying your salts in bulk. You can see some of my salt bath favorites below. You can also add a few drops of essential oils into your bath if you would like a scent element but you don’t have to. You can also consider adding your favorite crystals into the saltwater to increase the healing powers of the bath. Here are some of my crystal recommendations.

Once you are in the bath, you can listen to your favorite guided meditation or relax with some soothing music. Check out my salt bath playlist for inspiration.

Stay in the bath as long as you are comfortable, at least 15 minutes or longer. Gift this time of deep relaxation and rejuvenation to yourself if possible weekly or whenever you can.

With love and light,
