Today we are speaking with Ariel, who is a consultant who deals with ethical, legal, technical and policy issues around autonomous weapons and artificial intelligence. Ariel is a scientist and has created a website to help other Long Haulers and people with chronic health conditions, called Science Ghost.com, which focuses on teaching about the overactive nervous system and the various mind-body techniques she herself used to gain her health back.
Ariel caught Covid in July 2020 which after a very mild acute phase progressed into Long Covid. At her worst, she was bed bound for months and could only tolerate three different food items. Her Long Covid journey had ups and downs, she felt like she was gradually improving, to only hit rock bottom again in November 2021. However her rock bottom as she calls it led into discovering the tools that helped her to fully recover her health.
We discuss the ten techniques from her website that helped Ariel recover her health. These range from Tolle Dr. John Sarno's treatment of Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS), meditation and deep relaxation through Yoga Nidra, somatic therapy and of course, radical rest. We discuss Nicole Sachs’ JournalSpeak extensively in this episode.
