6 MONTHS AGO. Balancing golf, class work, Model UN/Debate Team competitions and travel. More intense work with local policy to Global Affairs. Increased concerns about college programs’ involvement/handling of global affairs. Decisions about preferred colleges shift. Less talk about golf; more about international affairs, world religion, advocacy.

This isn’t the New Moon. But tonight IS the night of our first New Moon. Fresh start, blank page, new possibilities time. Packing up work; Preparing my space for a meditation ceremony to focus on some new health and wellness intentions (some that have only come to mind this week). Encouraged my patients to do the same. Light the candle. Breathe slowly. Ask. Write it. Place on the Flame. What are some questions people brought up in appointment today? What do I want? What is my sacred ask for my own body? How wonderful is it going to feel when I have it? Ahhhh, yes. Feeling my way.

What questions do they have? Should I take that medicine? Should I switch my health insurance or keep Kaiser? Should I have the procedure? Should I eliminate all meat? Should I stop the chemo? Should I risk another pregnancy? Should I stop the med and start a psychedelic? They asked a lot. I don’t have all the answers. I often don’t have their answers. Pointing to Alignment, Meditation. New Moon Meditation Tonight. May the answers, the solutions, the healing, the miracles all Flow in, In Grace, In a Perfect Way 🙏🏽

Happy International Women’s Day 2021 “Choose To Challenge”!
So honored to work with the Ascension women who Choose To Challenge Every Day, Every Show. I’m also So Thankful for the teachings of Professor Dr Gail Wyatt back at UCLA in the late 90’s. Check out her book, Stolen Women. Reclaiming Our Sexuality, Taking Back Our Lives. It was groundbreaking then and continues to be powerful, enlightening. Let’s continue to uplift, encourage, honor women. all parts of self *xuality

On Alchemy: Deep Dive on Liberation

What happens when one realizes one show alone, The Ascension Show, cannot possibly address the week’s topic “Liberation”, especially during Black History Month? Well, you produce another show on your platform that does, a show that addresses the feelings, triggers and questions around that word.

This week, on the On Alchemy show, Dr Denise and I address your (and our) questions, feelings, triggers around the topic “Liberation”. Listen to hear how to Alchemize, how to handle thoughts and feelings to then feel and Be Free, Liberated. We tackle the challenging questions: How do you feel Liberation, in this country, if you’re a person of color? How do we all effectively talk about, create, and experience Freedom? How do we give ourselves permission to Feel Free, Liberated… when the evidence around us appears to point to the opposite? Racism and inequality may be a daily reality that prevents freedom for some. The pandemic that isolates us, a collective reality, certainly doesn’t promote the feeling of freedom. Then also, Anxiety and Fear seem to whisper to many that there’s not enough of what we need, not enough to share. That doesn’t feel like freedom. For some others, who are not experiencing any discrimination, restrictions or suffering … we talk about steps to remove guilt about the enjoyment of things, importance of altruism/speaking up for others, and ways to give yourself permission to Feel Free To Feel Good. The path to Liberation. That’s what we’re for and about this week. Join us as we share our respective journeys and tips for Liberation.

The Pause ... The Ascenscion Team took a break. For me, that meant time away, on a friend’s boat. The short, audio only podcast before the break: https://www.drdenisemd.com/2021/02/the-pause/

The Ascension Show Two
Altruism in Action to Elevate All



SHOW DESCRIPTION:

As if the show didn’t have enough doctors!! Dr. Denise Berger of Pepperdine University joins us this week to talk about the Universal Truth of Altruism. Dr. Denise McDermott and Dr. Andrea Best, our MD-credentialed co-anchors, explore the science behind why giving feels so good. Ascension Medium Jennifer Shaffer helps us dig into the New Normal as we look at the positive ways the world is moving. Think , not just shift! We also will explore news headlines as they pertain to . And viewers looking for a kinder, gentler world, will see how we peacefully discuss The Vote 2020 while honoring divergent viewpoints, not creating even more noise. Also looking at our past will most likely get you pumped up for this little voting thing we have going on right now. Finally, get prepared to have a dose of Altruism injected into your life with your very own assignment from our Legacy of Love Ambassador G. Beverly Bergmann. Awareness, mental wellness, self-love and altruism — it’s all yours for the taking!

The Ascension Show One
United in Integrity to Elevate the Human Spirit

Premieres Oct 11, 2020 1111ampst

Four women of diverse background come together to discuss Universal Truths and how to mindfully infuse them into all our lives. For this first episode, we tackle INTEGRITY. We examine current events, age-old wisdom and talk about being . We talk about The Vote 2020 and attempt to elevate the conversation with a look at history. We “tap in” to figure out some practices that might unite these United States. We also look at some of the hate and vitriol in our world and attempt to shine light into these dark spaces. Viewers will meet a special guest, an “Artist with Integrity,” who will share prose, examples and coaching to use intuition to enhance our inner awareness and to trust freely. You’ll walk away with an action item to bring INTEGRITY, love and light to your corner of our planet. Being will fortify your wellness.

Andrea Best, MD updated their phone number.

There are people who believe in Science, but not Inner Being/God/Source/Universe etc. There are people who only believe in Spirituality or Religion, and not Science. Anyone keeping up with the last decade of and current advances and understanding however know that the biggest non believers on both sides now know and speak differently. See Truth.
Science And The Art of Medicine. Spirituality And Science. Quantum Physics, Power of Faith, The Field, Energy— all proven. And not so complex. Sounds complex, but the simplicity is incredible and the true factors are now recognized in medical offices, spiritual centers, and all systems (including those wishing you Not to know) around the globe. Factors that are, yes especially and even now, relevant and necessary.
Like your Inner Being and You, there is Never any separation.
So many symptoms. Confusion. So many questions. Confusion. Many excellent guides to the answers but the answers, to all and every, ultimately relate to a deeper, yet accessible place in you. Just have to get quiet enough, still enough, and get to some basic powerful understandings. When you have the thought that deep down something else is going on here, in you ... do not move on and distract yourself from that. It is time.
The subconscious program is real and it is on always. Like the Lil man behind the curtain, the not so great Wizard of Oz, playing the program, the same old recording, the repeat, that which keeps on showing up, more or different symptoms, same old response you said you would change, the same old pattern, same old results. But yet... It is a liar and You do have the power to create a different outcome. God doesn’t condemn and we should not condemn ourselves. But we do have to make some changes because we deserve to feel, do, and have better.
There are just some things to Remember, not to learn... to Remember. Whether you read this excellent book with discussion of science, medicine, spirituality and How to clearly see and remember and Change/Get what you want in your health and life... or go straight to his guided subconscious programming meditation in the back or downloadable online, It is time.

Thank you Abraham!!!

We didn’t know what a late night misstep, then a few more mistakes, and a missed subway stop in Paris would get us. Then we walked up stairs from the subway station exit and immediately saw this. Magical. Beautiful. A reminder to me that there really are very few mistakes...and to keep on enjoying things, people, and moments when they are here :)

“Intermittent Fasting -- more a dieting pattern than a diet…”

What is intermittent fasting? Essentially it's you giving your body a break and choosing a set amount of time hours in the day that you eat that compliments the amount of hours your body is at rest while sleeping.

Would you try it? Get the first hand account of a woman that tried it for a week!

6 Things That Happened When I Tried Intermittent Fasting For A Week Is this diet trend too good to be true? I decided to find out.

How many moms do I have out there? Mom's of infants? Toddlers? If you're a working mother, no matter the child's age, it can be difficult to find time for yourself and carve out time to workout.

Below I found an article that has some great tips to do just that. Try now and thank me later. I promise that you'll feel a lot better : )

Exercise Tips For a Busy Working Mom Are you a working mom struggling to fit in time to exercise? These tips set a great foundation for making exercise an awesome self-care habit.

“Self-Care looks like deciding to love myself enough not to settle for less than what I deserve” -Alex Elle

If you have an active lifestyle it can sometimes be challenging to find time for yourself. Part of Integrative Medicine is to practice & develop skills in order to be consistent in your journey of self care and a balanced lifestyle.

Staying physically active can prove to be challenging especially while traveling. Before you take your next trip, either for business or pleasure, think about incorporating and setting aside some time to workout. Let your hotel room or where ever you choose to stay be your personal gym for at least 30min. You don't even need any equipment!

“Poor sleep habits have been linked to problems like depression and anxiety…”

Are you getting a restful amount of sleep at night? Do you go to bed at the same hour each night? Are electronics a part of your pre slumber rituals? It's important to make sure that the amount of sleep you receive is consistent and that you develop healthy sleeping habits as bad habits may lead to problems affecting your mental health.

Read this informative and helpful article to give you some guidance on how to develop healthy sleeping habits and the link between mental health and sleep.
