32

She is a licensed clinical hypnotherapist.

33

And a doctor of acupuncture

and Chinese medicine.

34

So let's listen in to her message

for us today Well, hello there.

35

I'm so excited to be here with

you on the empath rising podcast.

36

I think that's a wonderful theme

because I think a lot of us are

37

getting a lot more attuned and

sensitive to what's going on around us.

38

We're living in

interesting times for sure.

39

So I find that a lot of people reach

out to me because they're experiencing,

40

feeling stuck or anxiety, stress they're,

they could have an addiction problem

41

because they're so desperate to get

out of whatever state they're in that

42

they are reaching for drugs or shopping

or sex or some type of distraction.

43

Another big reason that people

reach out to me is because

44

they're stuck in fight or flight.

45

And if you're in that state,

it's like the fire alarm going

46

off in your house all the time.

47

You know, it, how useful is that?

48

If you've got a fire, fire alarm,

that's blasting in your ear all the

49

time, it's not telling you anything.

50

It's exhausting.

51

It's stressful.

52

You start to tune it out.

53

You, you become numb, you, you

know, just basically tune out and

54

that's not a healthy place to be.

55

So in this little Demonstration

we're doing today.

56

I am giving you a bunch of tools that

you can use either on your own or if

57

you want to reach out and work with a

personalized program to get you from

58

where you are to where you want to go.

59

Either is great.

60

I would love to give you any and

all resources available to me

61

in this next 15 to 20 minutes.

62

My name is Dr.

63

Tara Perry.

64

I've been helping gosh first responders,

Celebrities, moms, dads, people

65

just like you for 25 years now.

66

I started out with acupuncture

and nutritional medicine and love

67

that and still utilize a lot of

those tools because if you're.

68

Blood sugar is going all over the place.

69

You're not going to feel good.

70

If your brain is in chronic

inflammation if you're not

71

exercising, bodies were meant to move.

72

So I, I make a very customized program

for people to again, get them from

73

where they are to where they want to go.

74

I often feel like Glenda, the

good witch I, I don't give people

75

what they didn't have already.

76

I just help them become aware of the,

the jewels inside of them that are

77

seeking to get out, that want to be

expressed, that want to be free, that

78

want to expand so that they're not living

in this dumbed down constricted place.

79

I had a medical practice for 25

years in Southern California, in

80

Beverly Hills, in Santa Monica.

81

I taught at Embers College and UCLA

and ended up in Belmont shore, which

82

was a great beach community until I

83

way that I'm very good at helping

people reprogram their subconscious

84

mind, find out what's stuck in there.

85

And then rewire it.

86

I find the brain is very

much like a computer.

87

And this is, these are not new concepts.

88

Anybody that, you know, Bruce Lipton,

Joe Dispenza, you know, there's lots

89

of people who have delved into this

area and talk about these technologies.

90

But it, it doesn't really

matter what happens to us.

91

It's our interpretation

about what happens to us.

92

That's so critical.

93

So you know, something happens to us

and it can be something minor like, you

94

know, dad's scolded us when we were doing

our homework or, you know, it could be

95

something very bad that a parent was

either physically or sexually abusive when

96

we were growing up, but it's, it's not the

event that ends up harming us over time.

97

It's our interpretation of the event.

98

It's you know, what is your

interpretation of yourself, the world,

99

other people that got wired in there.

100

And in order for that to change, it's

usually stuck way in the subconscious

101

mind, which scientists now know

is 90 to 95 percent of our brain.

102

So it's really, really hard to

solve that issue with just five

103

to 10 percent of your brain.

104

So I find a lot of people I work with

have been through years and years

105

and years of therapy, often decades,

and they're still having daily panic

106

attacks or health anxiety, or don't

feel good about themselves or having

107

work problems, relationship problems.

108

And it's not until we get in to

the subconscious mind, find the.

109

root of the problem.

110

Again, Chinese medicine teaches that

you always want to go to the root.

111

You don't want to treat a branch of

the problem because then if the roots

112

are still there, it, it will come back.

113

So a lot of people that I work with

often say, you know, I did this type

114

of practice, that type of practice

meditation this program, that program

115

read this book, did this seminar and it

was helpful for a while, but it didn't

116

change them, you know, permanently.

117

So what I'm looking for is that

permanent change, taking people out

118

of that stressful, nervous anxiety,

you know, in whatever form that

119

takes to that deep confident piece

that really is available to you.

120

It's just obscured by filters

that got placed in along the way.

121

And if you look at babies, they

are, you know, generally happy.

122

They.

123

yell and scream for what they need

but, and if something bad happens, they

124

typically, you know, react, but then

they're back to you know, their normal,

125

happy, giggly self, which is why we

love interacting with them so much.

126

So my personal journey I graduated

from UCLA and ended up working in the

127

entertainment business for five years.

128

I ended up at one of the biggest,

arguably at the time, the biggest

129

talent agency in Hollywood.

130

The head of that company was always

rated the most powerful man in Hollywood.

131

And I was approached to work

directly for him and for the head

132

of the television department.

133

And I just...

134

didn't feel like I could stay

in that environment anymore.

135

I felt like I was suffocating.

136

So I called up my homeopath and said, what

would I do if I want to do what you do?

137

Cause I was really impressed

with how he healed people.

138

And when he told me the answer, I,

the, basically the lights went on.

139

It felt like the clouds parted and

God said, this is what you're going

140

to go do, which was crazy because

nobody at that time had basically even

141

heard of acupuncture months, much less

had an acupuncturist at that time.

142

I hadn't even tried it myself.

143

When I.

144

Decided to go down that path.

145

But I did know that I wanted

to profoundly help people.

146

And when I saw that this fellow was

doing that, I wanted to be part of that.

147

So I started night classes a couple

of weeks later and then gave notice

148

a quarter later and ended up going to

China for a year to study at one of the.

149

Top five traditional

medical hospitals there.

150

And that was just two years after

Tiananmen Square had occurred.

151

So it was really a very, very different

world at that time, but life changing

152

for sure, and a great experience.

153

I'm, I'm deeply grateful

for, for having done that.

154

So I would say that, you know,

for many, many years, I, you

155

know, had imposter syndrome.

156

I felt like I wasn't good enough.

157

I would always be getting another degree,

another certificate another award because

158

I felt like something was missing.

159

And yet I would achieve something and

then five minutes later, literally, I'd be

160

like, okay, that wasn't such a big deal.

161

I I'm looking onto the next thing.

162

And by the way, there's a

Fantastic book written about that.

163

It's a tiny little book

called the gap and the gain.

164

And what it teaches you to do is look back

as well as looking forward because looking

165

forward gives you your kind of North star,

what the direction you want to head in.

166

But in order for your nervous system

to feel good about itself, it also

167

has to look back in time and measure.

168

What has been accomplished in the last

like three months, six months, years, it

169

helps to look at it in varying chunks so

that your nervous system can go, oh, okay.

170

I'm not wasting my time.

171

I'm not stupid.

172

I'm not spinning my wheels.

173

I'm actually heading in the direction

and applying the tools that I'm so

174

desperately want to enjoy in my life.

175

So that is another precious tip if you

go on my website, I do have I'm starting

176

on Tuesday's Tara's Tuesday book read

because I hear from my clients on a

177

fairly regular basis that they, they

think I've read every book on the planet.

178

And it's just because I'm insatiably

curious and I probably have over

179

400 books on my audible account.

180

And love to share that information.

181

So people that do work with me directly

get a very customized program from

182

where they are to where they want to go.

183

And some people need

extra help with nutrition.

184

Some people need extra help with exercise.

185

Some people need extra

help with business goals.

186

Some people need extra help

with relationship issues.

187

So.

188

I, I listen deeply to what their needs

are and then customize a program for them.

189

So if that's of interest, you're welcome

to go onto my website consult Tara.

190

com and just click the button and

fill out the 10 questions and, and

191

see if it's a good fit for you.

192

But throughout this

interview, I'm going to.

193

Make available to you any other tools

that I use and have found valuable for

194

myself and my clients because I think

nothing makes me happier personally than

195

seeing people discard what no longer

serves them and claim a freer, happier

196

life because that spreads not only am I

helping you but you go on and help other

197

people, and that ripple effect can be

tremendous just smiling at somebody at

198

the grocery store can, you know, prevent

a suicide and that's what we're here to

199

do is just make the world a better place.

200

So as I, and I I'm

201

When, when people say, well, what was

the pivotal point for you and your

202

personal journey to better health?

203

And for me personally, there were a lot

of key points, but I, I do feel that

204

people are often like onions, myself

included, you know, you, you peel

205

off a layer and then you feel so much

lighter and so much healthier and so

206

much better able to navigate life, but

life happens and things come up and.

207

Each opportunity that comes our way,

if we look at them as opportunities

208

rather than obstacles or points of

pain that have to be suffered through,

209

then that shift in awareness can

make a big difference all by itself.

210

So other tools that I found useful

along the way definitely meditation.

211

I'm a big Joe Dispenza fan.

212

So if you go online, you can find

countless Joe Dispenza meditations.

213

If that's not your style, cause some

people prefer a different voice.

214

meditations available, but,

or, and sometimes you don't

215

need To have anything at all.

216

I often choose to just

meditate in pure quiet.

217

That's a little harder until you've

gotten the hang of it and you understand

218

what meditation is actually giving you.

219

But the, the beauty of meditation

is coming into that stillness.

220

Coming into that peace, coming into that

quiet, and whatever is unquiet in there,

221

whatever is painful, rather than pushing

it down, pressing against it, trying to

222

run away from it, if we can go into it

my meditation teacher described it as,

223

you know, sitting with it and allowing

it to open like a flower in the sun.

224

Or many meditation practices describe it

as like a knot in the body, and if you can

225

go deep, deep, deep into the knot rather

than fighting it it often just lets go.

226

I mean, that's typically what happens.

227

So for sure, meditation

is a big tool that I use.

228

I'm a big fan of cold therapy.

229

Wim Hof is teaching

that all over the world.

230

If you go on YouTube and type in Wim

Hof 11 minute breath work he does a

231

very, very powerful 11 minute breath,

which has been viewed by I think almost

232

70 million people all over the planet.

233

So that's extremely powerful.

234

Of course, do it someplace, you

know, not when you're driving.

235

Just be someplace, you know, safe that you

can relax and, and participate in that.

236

He also is the probably the forerunner

worldwide in terms of notable figures

237

who meditates on icebergs and swims

in ice cold waters, but because of

238

him and the science that's coming out.

239

As a result of people studying him and

other people doing this, I stopped taking

240

a warm shower probably, ooh, three years

ago and in the winter time here, that

241

gets pretty crispy but it, it has such

tremendous effects on your hormones, on

242

your Your immune system that they even

injected him, I believe with salmonella

243

and it did not even give him a fever.

244

He's become so strong.

245

And he was not originally, I

mean, he was a mail carrier in

246

the UK that had to help his wife.

247

His wife suffered terribly from depression

and ended up committing suicide.

248

He then was so distraught and in such

a horrible place that just out of sheer

249

desperation, he turned to cult therapy

to regain his desire to live really his

250

sense of peace, his will to live and

in that state of cold and, you know,

251

some people fill up a bathtub with ice

cubes, I've done this more than once,

252

and just go in that some people have

actual tubs outside that in the colder

253

weather get very chilly, some people

have regulated tubs which are quite

254

a bit more expensive, but if you can.

255

Submerge yourself in cold water safely.

256

And if you've got any medical

conditions, you have to, you know,

257

check off the boxes and make sure

that that's not an issue for you.

258

I don't know of any contraindications

off the top of my head,

259

but just getting into cold.

260

And I don't mean a cryo and there

is no such thing like is available

261

in your chiropractor office.

262

Although that does have medical value

you, you, by submersing yourself in a

263

cold tub, a cold plunge, some people call

them you, you have to get very present

264

and it's a beautiful meditative state.

265

I recently spent seven

minutes in 47 degrees.

266

And I always get Celsius and

Fahrenheit confused, but it's

267

obvious I can think when you,

when, you know, both of them and.

268

I stayed in for seven minutes,

which is a good amount of time

269

to stay in that chili of water.

270

But it really, really is delicious when

you, you can drop in, become fully, fully

271

present and stop being in fear of course.

272

You take the steps and do it at

whatever pace is right for you.

273

But that is a tool and

Vimhof has an app for that.

274

A very, very simple free tool

that's available to you is

275

forgiveness and gratitude.

276

The scientific evidence out

on that is also tremendous.

277

And it takes some awareness and some time

to really master those because We often

278

carry around a lot of not forgiveness

and a lot of not gratitude and sometimes

279

we're not even really aware of it.

280

And I have found with my clients

that the last person, and I would

281

say this is true for myself as

well to forgive is often yourself.

282

So if you're carrying hatred or grudge

or something for somebody else, it's.

283

been likened to drinking

poison every single day and

284

expecting somebody else to die.

285

It's not helping you.

286

I do have additional stories about

that, but in the interest of time, I'm

287

not going to go into them right now.

288

But gratitude and forgiveness are

two amazing keys for instantly up

289

leveling your life and your health.

290

And there are many resources for that.

291

I just interviewed a

keynote speaker on that.

292

Who's an author on my, Podcast

next level healing, you can

293

go on there, check that out.

294

There's a variety of resources

on next level healing cause I've

295

interviewed people from all walks

of life and different disciplines.

296

Whenever I find something that I think is

really helpful for people, I'll interview

297

the subject matter of expert on that.

298

Thank you.

299

Thank you.

300

So I think we're getting close to running

out of time here, but I want to just

301

mention a couple of other things I think

focus is really critically important.

302

So if you're focused on failing, whatever

that looks like for you, then we tend to

303

attract whatever it is we're focused on.

304

So one of my favorite quotes is whether

you think you can or think you can't.

305

You are correct.

306

So if you're focused on thinking

you can't accomplish something that

307

you're not worthy or you aren't

good enough, you will attract that.

308

If you shift the focus to what is

worthy about you, what is amazing about

309

you, what is resourceful about you,

what is lovable about you, and really

310

give that your energy, your juju, your

focus, your attention then it can grow.

311

It's like watering a plant, really.

312

There's the theme of the good wolf and the

bad wolf and which one's going to survive.

313

Well, it's the one that you feed.

314

As far as reading recommendations,

there are so many, I wouldn't

315

know where to begin to start.

316

One of my favorite books that I

find I recommend to my clients on

317

a regular, regular, regular basis

is Loving What Is by Byron Katie.

318

She is a master.

319

I hope to meet her one day.

320

If you are an audible person, you

will actually listen to her working

321

with people and they typically come

in in some state of complete disarray

322

complete upset and in 15, 20 minutes,

they are laughing and completely

323

seeing it from a different perspective.

324

And I would say that is part of the

magic that I do as well when I'm working

325

with people is shifting perspective.

326

I, I am kind of a hybrid.

327

I've had a multitude of different.

328

Areas in which I've studied acupuncture,

nutritional medicine, hypnotherapy

329

I've trained with some of the greatest

people on planet earth as far as rapid

330

change and am incredibly grateful

to be in a time where we get to

331

stand on the shoulders of giants.

332

So I think we're getting a

little close to time here.

333

I just want to again, thank you so

much for having me on the program.

334

I hope that was helpful.

335

If anybody would like I am

offering a new free meditation.

336

You can just message me on the comment

section of my website consult Tara.

337

com, or you can find

338

340

And just message me that you heard

about me on this show, and would

341

I please send the free meditation?

342

I'd be happy to get that to you.

343

It's called Unzip, and it's just a

way to unzip all the problems, the

344

stress, the personality that you're

currently enmeshed with, and step

345

out of that into something freer and

not inclusive of all the limitations.

346

And if you are interested in learning

more, there's a button that says let's

347

talk on my website and you can go on there

And I look forward to whatever

the next step is together.

351

Bye.

352

So as you can hear.

353

Your empath, your journey to

claim a freer and happier life

354

begins with self-awareness.

355

And self care.

356

Don't put your health, your mental

health, or even your spiritual

357

health on the back burner.

358

By understanding your gift,

setting boundaries, practicing

359

mindfulness, meditation, physical

cold showers, and mental mind reframe.

360

You can harness the power

of empathy to create a more

361

balanced and fulfilling life.

362

Remember, your wellbeing is just as

important and as the wellbeing of others,

363

and it's okay to prioritize yourself.

364

On this incredible

journey of self discovery.

365

When you invest in yourself

and heal within yourself.

366

It pours over and heals others

around you, especially your children.

367

Embrace your empathic nature and

watch as you bloom into a happier.

368

And more liberated version.

369

of you.

370

Raven: Thank you so much for

investing in yourself today to become

371

more empowered and listening and

tuning into your own inner voice.
