Building Bulletproof Backs Ep 1 - Ascend the Pain

Episode 1: Ascending the Pain Podcast : Building Bulletproof backs 

Show notes: 

Welcome to the First ever episode of Building Bulletproof Backs podcast. 

This podcast aims to empower listeners with HOPE that healing is possible when you know how. We discuss strategic tools addressing mental, physical and emotional Health. 

I am your host, Marion McRae, a physiotherapist & movement addict on a mission to see the existing model of treating back pain evolve. The current model is broken. It focusses almost entirely on the physical body, neglecting the fact that we are all both thinkers and feelers. When the thoughts in our head, and the the emotions in our bodies are less than optimal, we fail to thrive. 

Our Guest for the first episode is my long term physiotherapy client, and now friend, Kay Savory - who shares her story of how her decision to “not suffer” led her to find her greatest salvation tool - Ascension Meditation. 

In this podcast episode, she shares with us how she clawed her way out of the rut, and is now able to co-exist with reduced pain, has withdrawn from some of her prescription medication, and has found inner joy and peace - regardless of her pain status. 

Kay’s tools: 

Use Mental strategy to redefine your relationship with the pain Stop labelling things, so that the relationship with it also drops. Start meditating -Kay’s preferred method - Ascension meditation. Goto https://www.thebrightpath.com/ to learn more. A core belief which serves her well “The body reacts to the mind and the mind reacts to the soul” 

Kay’s Top 3 tips 

Research as much as you want to, but within a limit. Find a meditation practice that works for you. Go on a journey to find a different way. Be open to knowing there is one.
