In this enlightening episode, we explore the transformative power of deep relaxation and its profound effects on healing our bodies and minds. Join us as our guest, Rain Elizabeth Stickney, shares her extensive knowledge and experience as a spiritual counselor and meditation teacher. With over two decades of expertise, Rain explains the emotional and physical healing benefits of deep relaxation. If you are looking to develop a regular meditation practice and want the support of a teacher and a community, check out Rain's website, podcast and youtube channel! Rain and I also talk about Learn about the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach to relationship counseling, developed by Drs. John and Julie Schwartz Gottman. It focuses on building healthy relationships through effective communication, emotional connection, and conflict resolution strategies. Rain Elizabeth Stickney is a spiritual counselor and meditation teacher who has been guiding others on their healing journeys for over two decades. She began offering meditation in the spring of 2001 and expanded into healing services by the fall of 2007. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Rain now lives on a serene, forested property in Vermont with her son, life partner, and their enchanting black bunny. Rain holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, specializing in Biofeedback and Somatics, and a Master’s degree in East-West Psychology with a Certificate in Expressive Arts Consulting and Education. Her approach is trauma-informed and integrates deep studies in psychophysiology and neuroscience. Trained in Hand in Hand Parenting by Connection to support children and families, and certified in The Gottman Method to enhance communication within relationships, she brings a compassionate, evidence-based foundation to her work. With 20 years of experience as a bodyworker, Rain developed Emotional Integrative Bodywork, a holistic modality honoring the four essential pillars of human experience: body, mind, heart, and spirit. Today, she continues her healing practice by offering mindful, therapeutic support to individuals and couples. Rain also hosts the "Every Moment Is Sacred" podcast, where she weaves meditation, healing insights, and practical wisdom into the fabric of everyday life, inviting listeners to find meaning and peace in each moment.
