#032 Social Media and Original Sin Part 1 with Tristan Bray

The world of social media is here, it’s pervasive and it is not going away; but how do we integrate with it in a healthy and sustainable manner? It’s this questions that lead me to sitting down with Tristan Bray to explore some of the physiological effects that Instagram & Facebook have when in excess and some very interesting distinctions that can help us to stay centred in navigating this vast, polarising, deep, shallow, complex, silly and meaningful virtual world. Get ready to get some wake up calls around the nature of this virtual world and learn the dynamic ways that it is being used by people and organisations around the world. Social media often sits on a knifes edge between being medicine for the world or poison (like many herbs based on their dose), let’s explore where that dynamic line exists. In the first of this 2-part episode, we delve right into: Anxiety in today’s generation and the internal & external influences driving its presence The fight or flight 'maladaptive response syndrome' in the 21st Century How dopamine plays into addictions within the realms of modern technology ­ Scientism and modern cultures quest for scientific validation Epigenetic changes in response to perceived stressors The concept of purposelessness The Nocebo Effect Sexuality, shame and the effects of internalised sexual emotion Tristan has been a Regression Therapist for ten years. He brings his in depth background in Psychotherapy, Meditation, Quantum Healing, Cell Biology, Epigenetics, Kinesiology, Psychopharmacology, Sexual Health, Diet, Detox, Philosophy, Metaphysics, Taoism, Shamanism, Entheogens, Chi Gung, Kung Fu and Modern Medical Science to his clients, talks and workshops. He currently shares his skills as a therapist, life coach and counsellor.  Throughout his twenties Tristan has studied internationally in the healing arts. He is passionate in reminding people, that the human capacity for healing is limitless. Tristan helps to open his client’s minds to how many natural super abilities that we all possess to enhance our life that have been squashed out of the mainstream belief system by reductionist scientific dogma and disempowerment religions. Tristan’s healing treatments, seminars and workshops are primarily focused around clearing trauma and sharing why this is so important to all of us. Trauma is the biggest cause of ill health in our world because it often will permanently change the body’s physiology, emotions and spiritual outlook if not released. Much of modern medicine looks at putting a ‘band aid effect’ over the current effect of trauma as opposed to clearing it, back at the creation point.
