Always so healing to spend time with my mother! She is a teacher and artist, poet and musician. Made of pure love and one of a kind. Filled with gratitude for her love and her health! Thrilled her recent medical check up and full body @ezrainc MRI came out all clear! Her coronary calcium score was zero, and her lung CT was all clear. Healthy and wonderful!
THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL: this is what happens when suddenly everything turns into fear. Psychological health is a delicate balance act of good relations, good sleep, passions that inspire us, love, sex, intimate connections, and more. But life isn’t always aligned this way. Things happen: loss, chaos, tragedy, confusion, and suddenly we can be thrust into the dark waters of our psychological underworld, we can become fear. Regaining agency and volition during this moment of powerlessness and despair is absolutely crucial. #darknightofthesoul #mentalhealth #healing #psychedelics
I’m passionate about preventative health. I’ve been doing @ezrainc full body MRI scans for the last few years. They allow a comprehensive look inside your body to screen for any issues and catch them early. I was particularly thrilled to organize a scan for my mom. She is the light of my life! I think it’s a great gift for someone you love. If you’re interested visit this link where you can get a $150 discount code: SILVA150 https://ezra.com/silva
BREAKING THE SPELL OF TRAUMA: think of trauma as an incident that happened to you that alchemized into some kind of haunting, a spell. It hovers over you, distressing you, tormenting you, hijacking your lived experience. To find freedom, healing and liberation, you need to break the spell! #trauma #healing #mentalhealth #anxiety #ptsd #depression

LOVE IS HAPPY SAD: “you know what your problem is? You’re not happy being sad. But that’s what love is: happy sad!” These lines are from the film Sing Street and they perfectly capture the wistful bittersweet nature of love. #singstreetmovie #cinema #love #romance #bittersweet

SPIRITUAL EMERGENCIES: human beings are storytelling animals, creatures of narrative and meaning. A spiritual emergency is a mental health crisis when a person’s inner narrative gets fractured and turns on itself. You can think of it like a psychological auto-immune disorder of potentially catastrophic proportions. If we don’t intervene appropriately it can lead to tragic consequences. #mentalhealth #psychology #spirituality

HOW TO STOP THE PANIC? Anxiety attacks are fascinating. The mind relapses into a fear response for no identifiable reason and experiences a “temporal dislocation” whereby we misread the present and conjure up a future identified with doom. #panic #anxiety #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness
