The Holistic Ease Podcast: Recent Episodes
Erin Oberlander, Certified Holistic Aromatherapist
Welcome to the Holistic Ease Podcast. I am your host, Erin Oberlander, Certified Holistic Aromatherapist, herbalist, holistic health expert, and modern homesteader. This podcast is where you can come to learn and be inspired about a wide variety of topics all related to holistic lifestyle. Drawing upon ancient wisdom from Ayurveda, TCM, and modern sciences as well as the art of aromatherapy, we start to connect more deeply with our innate wisdom and our inner voice. Nutrition, essential oils, herbs, spirituality and faith, movement, seasonal living, permaculture, and an occasional digression into the land of the weird and funny-- all these things we candidly and honestly discuss here. Why? Because I believe it shouldn’t be hard to live a life closer to the cycles of Nature that improves your quality of life, health, and relationships. So come along with me and let’s learn together how to life a holistic lifestyle with ease.

It's May which means Beltane, a cross-quarter day in the wheel of the year halfway between our spring equinox and our summer solstice. This signifies both the fire of purification and the blooming of returning fertility to the land. What does this mean for us? How can we walk better through the fire of refinement, and how can we start moving into a season of action where we can bloom in the important areas of our lives?

We are part of Nature--and Nature has inherent balanced built into it. Because of this, when we learn to observe Nature, we can find a better sense of balance in our health and lifestyle. The elements prominent in each season often need to be balanced with the opposite element in order for balance to be achieved--and the same is true for us.

Our disconnection from Nature has left us with a poverty of spirit, in a state of perpetual burn out. When we give ourselves the freedom for a natural ebb and flow in life, though, we may find we are actually more productive overall.

We are so disconnected in our world. Whether it is the distraction of technology or the fact that we no longer grow our own food, we have little to do with what truly keeps us alive: Nature. Because of this, we have lost the knowledge of what in Nature can create leverage for our well-being. When we learn how to work with the cycle of the seasons, we find leverage points to increase our health quotient in our mental health, with our stress levels, with how we cleanse our bodies, how we exercise, what we eat and drink, how we supplement, and even our sleep patterns. Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and other traditions have retained much of this wisdom, so we can look to them to re-learn what our bodies already know.

Sound is a powerful healing tool. As a musician, I thought I knew a lot about this until I attended some sound healing training and then the Globe Sound Healing Conference.

I also play a crystal bowl for a little practice in the middle of the podcast. I will be bringing sound healing into my practice soon, including sound baths.

The element for late summer season is Earth. This element has to do with nourishment. We gather our nourishment as fruits of the soil. No one knows more about soil health than my dad, Kerry Swindler. After we review some of the aspects of late summer and earth element from Traditional Chinese Medicine, my dad shares his story about getting into no-till farming. He talks about soil erosion, organic matter, the soil microbiome, emerging breakthroughs in regards to soil health, and more. I share my permaculture standpoint to those subject matters throughout. Lastly, we discuss the spiritual implications of soil through the parable of the sower and eastern traditions.
Letting go of diet mentality can be so difficult. Why is the number on the scale so important? But does it really tell us anything? Here is how we can start focusing on true health and a lifestyle that is sustainable and honors our bodies.

I give tips and tricks in three major areas related to this time of year. Hydration, gut health, and gratitude all play a roll in making the most out of late summer from a holistic standpoint.
