9. Who Am I If I'm Not a Receptor? Healing the Soul in Psychiatry: A New Thought from Dr. Anand

9. Who Am I If I'm Not a Receptor? Healing the Soul in Psychiatry: A New Thought from Dr. Anand

Join forensic psychiatrist Dr. Sumit Anand and I as we explore one of psychiatry's oldest—and perhaps most neglected—questions: What role do the soul, spirit, and human experience play in mental health? Drawing on over 30 years of experience in psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, and psychotherapy, Dr. Anand shares his ideas on the limits of a purely biological approach to mental illness. While modern neuroscience continues to deepen our understanding of receptors, brain networks, and medications, he argues that something essential can be lost when we overlook meaning, connection, creativity, spirituality, and the subjective experience of being human. When I asked Dr. Anand what new idea he wanted to share, he told me ". I think it's for exploring the true mind/ body/spirit connection, because as practicing psychiatrist and now nearly 60-year-old man, I am realizing that there are distinct but separate aspects each human being's life entails, including their mind, their body and their 'spirit'. With our current zeitgeist being so computer/AI oriented I think the popular culture and media discussion is 'losing the plot' with respect to the real meaning of human life. Then, there's the enigma of how all these three entities interface with one another. This begs revisiting the meaning of the word 'psychiatry,' which originally comes from I think Aristotle, who talked about "care and healing of the soul."

8. Exercise Doesn’t Change You, It Reveals You: A New Thought from Tae Bo®️ Master Instructor Lucija

Join Tae Bo®️ Master Instructor Lucija and I as she breaks down her new thought: exercise doesn't change you, it reveals you. Inspired by her experience teaching Billy Blanks’s Tae Bo®️, Lucija believes that exercise is not about changing who we are, but revealing who we already are. Together, we explore how joyful movement reconnects us with our inner child. The confidence, freedom, and authenticity we naturally possessed as children never left us: we just have to remember to reconnect with our inner child more than we currently connect with any societal pressure or self-judgment we carry into adulthood. When I asked Lucija what idea she wanted to share, she said "We don’t exercise/move to become someone else, we move to recognize who we already are. Most people workout because they want to fix something (lose weight, get stronger, look better…). But what if that’s backwards? What if the movement isn’t about changing yourself, but about revealing yourself?" Thank you Lucija, for sharing you thoughts with me, and for helping certify me as a Tae Bo®️ instructor!

5. Acrogems: A New Thought from Robert

Join Robert and I as he breaks down his new thought - Acrogems - a concept that helps us empower ourselves through the WORDS (We Openly Reveal Divine Spirt) we choose to speak. When I asked Robert what idea he wanted to share, he told me "The idea I want to discuss is something I call Acrogems, it's based on the thought that words also contain hidden acronyms that further provide clarity to the meaning of the word like LOVE stands for Lasting Obvious Varying Emotions meaning some days the emotions you feel will vary but the lasting basis is I love you or TIME Taking In Momentary Events or Thriving In My Experiences which are by products of time itself. I really love words and want people to understand how powerful they are so they can be used more productively. Just the words "Let there be light" placed the sun in the sky words are amazing in my opinion." Thank you Robert, for sharing your light and wisdom with the world.
