The feeling of home is as universal as it is personal. Home can be a place of safety and refuge, or chaos and instability. No matter which, home is the place you identify with in some way, it carries meaning, memories and shapes your identity. It's the mysterious and universal feeling of home that seems to root us in our very being, providing a shelter for those days and times when all seems lost.
Kevin and Niseema discuss how homesickness is a powerful feeling that something isn't right, coupled with a longing for things to be stable, familiar and safe. It is a fact of life that everybody has to leave home; how a person manages that stress can say a lot about their relationship with themselves and their ability to take a sense of "home" with them wherever they go.

We hope you have found a feeling of "home" in The Positive Mind Radio/Podcast community. As we experience growth, this is the last Positive Mind Radio Show/Podcast for the year.

Starting in January of 2023 we are transitioning to a monthly broadcast. As always we will feature mental health professionals and authors who will discuss topics in depth bringing you "some ideas, concepts, and guests to try and help you lead a more positively minded life." The newsletter will contain information about our guests, insight into the topic discussed and have the current show, just as we do no so you can listen at any time.

It is a privilege to be welcomed into your lives for an hour and we look forward to bringing you more of the same programming on a monthly basis.

Be well,

This week Kevin and Niseema talk about the Danish word "Hygge," which is a way of creating comfort and ease in your life. It is amazing how many ways we can create more comfort and ease in our daily rituals, from how we wake up in the morning, to how we live our day, to how we go to sleep.

In the fall/winter season, there are so many ways to add pleasure to our lives, like wearing cozy wool socks, to making a cup of hot apple cider or hot chocolate. For the Danish, Hygge is a way of life, which explains why they are one of the happiest countries in the world. PODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-positive-mind/id1511809100

This week, Kevin and Niseema talk about the Vagus Nerve, a major nerve in the body that begins at the brain-stem and travels all the way through the vital organs to the sacrum. The Vagus Nerve helps control several muscles of the throat and voice, plays a major role in regulating the heart rate and keeps the gastrointestinal tract in working order. The Vagus Nerve has also been shown to have a very strong connection to how you manage stress. A weak Vagus Nerve is a major indicator that you have been suffering from prolonged and chronic stress.
Niseema introduces a powerful tool for healing and balancing the Vagus Nerve called The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP). The SSP delivers a passive stimulation of the Vagus Nerve to help increase its capacity to regulate the "fight or flight'' part of our nervous system which contributes to symptoms of anxiety and PTSD, and access feelings of safety and connection.
