Self-Care with Jean

This week I want to talk about three glass jars. It is extremely difficult to see a higher learning when we're in the middle of a health scare. The stay in early January that I had at the hospital set me on such a journey to look for the greater learning in a pretty traumatic moment in my life. So what was the greater learning? ----- Subscribe to Jean's podcast updates Follow Jean on Social Media:...

This week I want to talk about napping. How many of us are not getting the rest that we need? And we do need to reset and replenish ourselves and as I am still doing - recover and recuperate. And this is what I'm learning after my recent health event, listening to our bodies when it tells us it's tired. ----- Subscribe to Jean's podcast updates Follow Jean on Social Media: Instagram Twitter YouTub...

Life is about our inner journey. And when the external life gets so hard on us and keeps pushing on us, or when we have health events, these are the times that we need to go in and invite in our spirit family. ----- Subscribe to Jean's podcast updates Follow Jean on Social Media: Instagram Twitter YouTube Listen to Jean on your favorite podcast app: Google Podcasts Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube i...

Teachers in our life can be people or events. This past January, I had a tremendous teaching moment when I landed in the hospital with viral bronchitis. As I was watching the EMT and the air docs and the nurses swirl around me, I surrendered and trusted I was in good hands. But I started to think about what it was that landed me in this situation and what was it that I needed to learn from this li...

This week, I wish to talk about me, if you will indulge me for a few minutes to share with you how it was that I came to spend five days in the hospital in early January. As I was experiencing this health event, I was holding what is it that I need to learn? ----- Subscribe to Jean's podcast updates Follow Jean on Social Media: Instagram Twitter YouTube Listen to Jean on your favorite podcast app:...

Recently, Ric and I found Turner Movie Classics (TMC). They were playing 24 Hours of Cary Grant. Wow. So much fun. We recorded all of them. And so when I went back, there was this movie I'd never seen before. It was called Houseboat. I'm going to play a short clip of the movie for you. I was so moved by this one scene. Cary Grant, he's divorced from his wife and she passes away. And so he returns...

I've learned with traditional Chinese medicine that the winter is also associated with our kidneys. Each season has an organ system that it relates to. And so now with winter, it's our kidneys and we really want to take care of our kidneys. And that means warm -- warm tea and warm soup and warm food. We don't want to be eating cold salads and lots of fruit and ice cream and icy drinks. These are a...

Great to be with you. This week I have my buddy here, Hoshi. So, she's going to be with us today. Today I want to talk about journaling. I've talked about it many times, but did you know or are you familiar with all the various types of journals? I thought we could talk about it today, and then it would be fun to see what resonates with us each day, and then we could have some fun with it. Subscri...

Hi, I'm Jean Edelman. Welcome to my podcast. Each week we'll explore a word that I hope gives us perspective and provides an opportunity to pause and check in with ourselves. For decades, I've been a student of the healing arts, Reiki, traditional Chinese medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, plant-based cooking and macrobiotic lifestyle. Join me on this journey and hear my word of the week. This wee...
