In this episode Sophie and Katie explore how information can be medicine, and how too much information, or the wrong information, can be harmful. They are joined by Annalea Jayne, a former paramedic turned holistic health practitioner, who shares her journey from traditional medicine, to alternative healing practices and ultimately into working with German New Medicine (GNM) + Integrated Somatic Inquiry (ISI).
The conversation delves into our intention behind seeking more information, when is enough, enough, + the role of trust + neutrality in healing. Annalea shares about the valuable information we can learn about ourselves from connecting with our body and sensations.
Both Katie and Annalea have the 1/3 profile in their Human Design + they discuss how this impacts their need for more information, + how they know when to stop analysing + start implementing.
