In this episode, Melanie shares her experiences as a trauma survivor, yogi, and trauma educator when she went to a yoga class in the Boston area that was NOT only as advertised – which created harm – but when the class actually triggered Melanie, the yoga instructor was dismissive of the harm the class had which created a secondary harm.
We talk about white washing sacred practices and the various unintentional harms committed by westerners.
Melanie shares 3 tips for yoga instructors and studio owners on how to improve so unintentional harm is NOT perpetrated, and she share 3 tips for anyone looking for a yoga class on how to find one that is more trauma informed.

We talk about
abuse,
turning points,
fears,
repetitive patterns,
healing root issues,
how the trauma is the experience, and the gift is fortitude, commitment, resilience, and decision to take case of self and to reclaim our life
creating the space needed to the inner work
understanding neurotrauma
creating access to healing, strategies, and tools
how trauma presents differently through medical or health conditions or experience.

This is a NEW collaborative program with industry experts, survivors, who have figured out the “how” to heal the effects from their trauma breaking FREE from the chains that bound them in ways society said was not possible.
We’ll feature a different guest w/ each episode sharing experiences & solutions w/ the greatest epidemic of our times world – an epidemic of unrecognized unhealed unresolved trauma that is placing misguided burdens on our society, increasing rates of chronic illness, mental illness, & addictions & stressing an already taxed broken healthcare system ill-equipped to treat root issues because it is NOT profitable.
Welcome to Episode #5 of Triggers & Spiritual Medicine Podcast with our Guest Rae Carter of EmpowR
Topic:How The Burning Times of Witches Influence White Women Culture From The Eyes of A Breast Cancer Survivor
In this episode Rae shares her breast cancer journey and what it is like to heal the root issues both within herself and as a society as she continued to deepen her healing and recovery. The deeper she went, the more she discovered.
What she discovered along the way is short of inspiring, it is eye opening with that Ah-ha moment of like “Oh crap, so this is where everything is rooted”.
Have you ever wondered why women do not support each other – especially white women? Especially in business and careers? Instead, we often feel envy, jealousy, or judgement?
Have you ever wondered why women are so darn critical of other women? Like where does this stuff really come from?
Have you ever wondered why women feel an instinctual need to compete against each other, but you do not know where it is rooted or why if we are hard wired to be in community and support of each other?
Have you ever wondered where the ideology of women serving the man ever came from?
I ask you to tune in to THIS very thought-provoking amazing episode as we shed the beliefs systems, we’ve been conditioned to believe that runs through our very DNA over hundreds of years.
I will add this episode may be triggering for some who are not ready to dive deep into the root issues many of us women – especially white women are experiencing and WHY we keep repeating cycles that do not serve us OR repeating cycles that serve us in a way that still keeps us chained to the patriarchal expectations.
This is sure to be a POWERFUL episode, and, in the end, Rae’s offers 3 things you can do today to make a shift.

Triggers & Spiritual Medicine Episode #4 with Guest Dr. Tawny Kross.
This is a powerful episode where we talk about Dr. Kross’s experience as a physical therapist in treating military vets and personnel for chronic pain and how the prevalence of unresolved unhealed chronic pain trauma can be linked to those with a trauma history.
With as much as 90% of her clients with clinical PTSD, Dr. Kross began to see the correlation of chronic pain and the connection to unhealed sexual trauma history.
One in four women report military sexual trauma – although this is under reported.
Half of those who report sexual trauma are men.
Dr. Kross shares 3 Tips on how to look at chronic pain differently and what to do about it.
She also offers tips on what to look for to find a trauma informed physical therapist.
ABOUT Dr. Tawny Kross:
Dr. Tawny Kross graduated with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Duke University in 2013. She has worked in a Veterans Affairs hospital for nearly a decade now.
Through the course of her practice, she has developed a very comprehensive and integrative approach to PT, which evolved from the necessity of such an approach in her work with the complexities of those who have chronic pain. This includes nutrition, hypnosis, guided imagery, mindfulness among other practices.
Focusing on mental health and being trauma-sensitive is of particular importance, as many of her clients have experienced military sexual trauma. She helps her clients move beyond pain and fear by connecting them with internal motivations, guiding them to see innate strengths and realize their inner healing abilities.
She recently started her own business, Kross Centered Care – Integrative PT, Health and Wellness in order to bring her expertise to more people.
Our mission is to be a catalyst to show others the way to become the solution to breaking the cycle of the epidemic of the perpetuation of unhealed unresolved trauma on all life.

This is a must watch or listen for any parent with guest, Ukumbwa Sauti who is an expert in all things men’s work, dismantling patriarchy, & conscious consent.
We talked about a recent incident locally where adults “innocently” published a photo of minor boys insinuating they were naked behind signs saying they will wash your adult cars for you.
We ask that you watch with an open mind through a different lens than maybe what you had before. We understand you might find this conversation triggering. We ask you to pause before jumping to reactionary mode.
This conversation is NOT to blame anyone, but to open a conversation about a topic that is typically silenced and how we, as a society, as a culture, have normalized certain unhealthy behaviors that can have detrimental consequences for generations to come.
1:5 women in the United States experienced completed or attempted rape during their lifetime.
24.8% of men in the U.S. experienced some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetime
1:3 female victims experienced rape for the first time between the ages of 11 and 17.
1:4 male victims experienced rape between the ages of 11 & 17
Only 25% of rapes in 2018 were reported to the police.
1:4 undergraduate women experienced sexual assault or misconduct at 33 of the nation’s major universities
In this episode, we talk about
the community backlash when addressing this issue
the subtleties of mixed message signaling
the harmful influence it has on children
the bystander impacts
how systemic issues created blind spots that on the surface can appear comical & funny
Why this kind of messaging is problematic
The “NOT intentional sexualization of teenage boys” (as someone in the local community put it) – and the gateway to unintentional grooming practices by predators & rapists that blur healthy boundaries & potential put our children in harm’s way.
Most survivors I’ve encountered self-shame because of imprinting placed upon them by a culture of abuse.
Let’s change this narrative.
In this episode we offer 5 things we can do now to begin that shift & BE a part of the solution.

ABOUT LAURA & “MY WHY” (on this series specifically)
I am a truth seeker & change maker. I highlight the shadows on topics most shy away from & invite difficult conversations on topics typically silenced. I’ve been this way for over 50 years.
As a professional healer, spiritual mentor, advocate & multiple trauma survivor (child abuse, sexual assault, attempted sexual abduction & domestic violence) who witnessed a lot & experienced my fair share of issues & my dedication spanning almost 20 years in healing the roots to the broken me, I see what is broken.
I’ve learned what works & what does NOT and I am here to share what works through the muck of what does NOT. Together let’s break the cycle of the continued perpetuation of unresolved unacknowledged unhealed trauma for a healthier world for all.
After partaking in another Patreon as a member with strong social justice goals, and watching the benefits unfold, I finally created a Patreon account to give you a better virtual experience, expand our virtual reach, offer exclusive specials and offers while broadening my social justice goals that are so important to me.
I want to share with you more about myself with you. So, I would be honored & grateful if you could take a moment and read my WHY I launched on Patreon.
My why
What I have done in the past
What is happening NOW
What I can offer It take a community to make this happen.
Let’s join forces AND BREAK The CYCLE of the Perpetuation of Unresolved Unhealed Trauma TOGETHER.
To be honest ….
I am a bit Nervous.
Excited.
Anxious.
AND that is all ok.
I am putting the trust and faith in this journey and allowing it to unfold as it needs to.
Have you ever heard of Patreon before?
Here is the dish … It is a wonderful subscription service for content creators and in my case content creators with a social justice or social impact mission in mind.
What is unique about this platform, it lets people financially support and reward content creators — such as podcasters, writers, and YouTubers — through a monthly subscription.
Creators can set up multiple membership tiers with various rewards so each subscriber can choose the amount of money they feel most comfortable giving to a project and in my case – healing the perpetuation of unhealed unresolved trauma that is plaguing our society.
So, please check out my “My WHY” Patreon post, and if the message resonates, please consider
commenting on the original post
sharing with loved ones or those in your community who identify with my mission.
joining to support my social justice impact goals
or joining for the great benefits such as FREE 1:1, FREE events, and up to 40% off classes offered.
Would LOVE your thoughts AND …
I am new to learning how all this works and working on building a team to make my dreams and missions come to light so I can show up more effectively and more impactful for YOU.
Me doing THIS work is and always has been about BE-ing of greater service to the community & our Mother Earth.
Like everyone else, I am learning HOW to show up BETTER to meet that soul journey mission.
If you decide to become a patron on Patreon, you become active participants in the work I am doing while supporting a cause we all love and NEED especially during these challenging times where the trauma epidemic is running wild like an uncontrolled unchecked avalanche or a volcano that is about to explode.

In this post, we will explore the following to address perceptions, boundaries, trauma, predatory behavior, healing, and healers.
My goal is two fold:
to awaken reiki practitioners and healers to their full optimum potential while understanding their ethical responsibilities to their clients and/or students,
and to help guide those seeking healing services for themselves or a loved one.
In this post, we will address the following:
Introduction to this sensitive topic from a personal and professional perspective
#TimesUp healers and reiki practitioners video
12 Tips To Choosing A Reiki Practitioner
Questions to ask a prospective reiki practitioner
Introduction to This Sensitive Topic
In search of “healing the broken me” as I would like to call it from years of abuse that resulted in complex C-PTSD or complex post traumatic stress disorder, I originally delved into the traditional American Healthcare System in hopes I can quickly return to my unbroken self. Like many others, I have felt that I was not getting better and band-aids were being applied to my mental, emotional, and physical symptoms that were not getting better and began to spiral out of control.
I realized there had to be more to all this and began looking into the spiritual aspects of my issues that the healthcare system couldn’t figure out.
I started reconnecting to my spiritual path. I began meditating. I eliminated inflammatory foods. I sought out reputable teachers and healers. I started connecting with the divine within me and my divine team. I learned and studied multiple holistic health modalities and spiritually based practices.
These practices saved my life and has been allowing me to reclaim my life in ways to defy all logic. I was fortunate in who I sought out as healers and other professionals to help guide me.
However, abusers and predators are still very skillful at their tactics, which is what sparked this post. I have been doing this work since 2006, and I have experienced numerous situations that were quite disturbing that made me wonder how to communicate such a delicate and serious topic that would hopefully be welcomed and received both by the healing community and trauma survivors.
This leads me to the next point …
#TimesUp Healers and Reiki Practitioners Video
I need your help on what I consider a very sensitive topic.
This video which was recorded in April 2018 took over 4 years to make due to concerns of my ability to communicate what needs to be said in a way that is heard and openly received.
What healers and survivors need to know.
Have you experienced THIS?
My goal in this video is to help healers and practitioners to awaken to their full potential while understanding their ethical responsibilities to their clients and/or students. Abusers are infiltrating the spiritually based communities and healing arts.
Are you aware?
What steps are you taking to ensure the safety of those around you?
What are you doing to help break the cycle of abuse?
Ironic or what … that this article was published on the same day as my live video on same topic from the NY Times. “In the space of a few short hours on Monday evening, Eric Schneiderman went from being known as one of the nation’s most progressive and influential attorneys general to being cast as a drunken, abusive monster who terrorized women in his personal life even as he publicly advocated women’s rights.”
This NY Times article is worth the read to tie into my argument. In the meantime, I will share with you 12 tips in choosing a reiki practitioner and questions to ask.
12 Tips To Choosing A Reiki Practitioner
Healing varies from person to person and what some call “reiki training” varies from teacher to teacher since there is no standardization of training in the Unites States. Most reiki training teaches the basics centered around stress reduction and relaxation. While others who call anything involving some form of energy healing or hands on energy work, reiki, can sometimes be misguided.
Let’s be clear first and foremost, reiki is a Japanese complementary alternative mind body medicine therapy, self care and meditation practice that works with the human body’s bioenergy field. I won’t go into details here. You can click here for more elaborate description.
Administering or facilitating a reiki session to someone who has been traumatized or abused is NOT part of the standard training curriculum for most reiki practitioners.
I hope what I wrote helps someone out there in need who needs something to help them survive in order to thrive.For healers who read this, my hope is that this inspired you to be better than you already are. The world needs more healers. We need you to step up and help be the best version of you.
