Work Life Balance With Ben Strahan

Podcast Host Thomas Wurm and Co-host Anne Martin welcome Ben Strahan, the Superintendent for the Eldorado Hotshots, an elite wildland firefighting crew out of California. Ben has years of Hotshot experience, provides quality insight on mental health in the wildland community, and shares his story of suicidal thoughts and his beneficial journey with plant medicine.  We dive into how identifying ourselves as our jobs can be problematic but serve up solutions to become more than just what you do. We learn the importance of life and how to share that gift with our crews, our families, and everyone we love doing life with.  We cover mental health, depression, suicidal thoughts, plant medicine, resiliency in the wildland fire community. Ben gives us the best metaphor for peaks and valleys we've ever heard and Ben's super effective list of daily check-ins that keep him healthy, sound, resilient, and the best leader he can be.

Scalar Energy with Tom Paladino

Tom Paladino is a researcher and humanitarian seeking to make a difference in the world by providing people with the education and tools to restore optimal health, and by helping enhance their quality of life.
Tom began research with Scalar Energy during his undergraduate years after developing a deep admiration for the father of Scalar Energy research or knowledge, Nikola Tesla. He was also able to study the work of a man Hieronymus who continued research on Scalar Energy. Hieronymus’ major contributions included unbinding the RNA/ DNA bonds of microbes plaguing the agricultural industry (rendering them harmless).
The existence of such energy not found within the electromagnetic spectrum fascinated Tom. Inspired by these findings, he pursued a course of independent study seeking to better understand and subsequently harness Scalar Energy, through the development of an instrument called “Scalar Light”.
Scalar energy is prana, chi, qi, or Ki is relatable to some traditional cultures or spiritual seekers in general. In the scientific and physics community, scalar energy is known by various names. Radiant energy, eloptic energy torsion energy, Tesla energy, Physicists now agree to adopt mainly one of a few terms: THE FIELD or the unified field or the zero point.
A Tale of Two Energies
The two MAIN energies in the universe are electromagnetic energy and scalar energy. One vast difference between the two is that electromagnetic energy degrades over distance.
For instance, a radio wave only travels so far before the signal fades. Scalar energy or scalar light is a light wave. At times it is in particle form, while at other times, a waveform. Hence, the duality of scalar energy. Scalar waves are the creator of MATTER.
When electromagnetic energy degrades over time or distance, the term used is “entropy.”
Scalar Light energy can travel from one side of the earth to the other instantaneously with NO loss of power. The scientific term is known as syntropy or negative entropy.
Neither time nor distance affects the power of a scalar wave. Scalar waves (Scalar Light) are “superluminal,” which means that they are FASTER than the speed of light.

Conscious Fire Culture Inception

Welcome to the next evolution of the Sacred Ancestry Podcast. I am so excited to be launching the Conscious Fire Culture podcast.
The Conscious Fire Culture is about alternative mental health for wildland firefighters. Every episode we break the stigma about mental health with the intent of saving as many wildland firefighters from suicide as possible. We want to help wildland firefighters connect with alternative ways of healing by interviewing a network of practitioners that want to serve the wildland fire community.
I am so excited to be collaborating with Melissa Moore on the podcast and beyond. In this episode, we dive deep into her journey and how plant medicine has launched her into a healing journey. How she found inspiration to start the Wildland Wellness Foundation and her vision for helping wildland firefighters with plant medicine.
