Forgiveness is a path to healing and peace. Forgiveness is a release or dismissal of something, encompassing both God’s forgiveness of our sins and our responsibility to forgive others, mirroring God’s mercy and grace. What does the Bible say about forgiveness?

Scriptures:
Matthew 6:9-14
Matthew 18:21-22
Ephesians 4:32
Mark 11:25-26
Matthew 11:28-30


Forgiveness benefits us spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. I will share some steps to consider in your process of forgiving others and yourself. Forgiveness is like a muscle, that when you exercise it, it becomes easier to do each time, it frees us and makes us stronger. Be quick to forgive.

Listen and be open minded to learn about what forgiveness is and how it can free you.

Meet Bill Brassow, founder and producer of PodWorks Studios in Mesa, AZ, where Physician, Heal Thyself The Podcast is recorded. We talk about the rise of mental health issues on the rise that we are both noticing. I appreciate the perspective of people outside the medical field, who are perceiving these social changes in our world.

When is medical cannabis use right? Is medical cannabis safe for consumption in Christians?

I will discuss the different ways to use cannabis, the different strains and their benefits, THC vs CBD, dosing; and the various conditions that people can benefit from using medical cannabis.

There are many medical conditions that people do better with medical cannabis vs medications.

Be responsible and reasonable with medical cannabis use. There is a time and place to use medical cannabis and should be taken into consideration for certain medical conditions.

Acupuncture is over 3,000 years old, used to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease.

The actual practice of acupuncture includes placing hair-thin needles into the skin on certain points of a meridian. The needles are sterilized to prevent infection and are only one time use.

Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system. This releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes may stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. They may promote physical and emotional well-being.

Conditions that it can be used for:

1. Any physical pain – musculoskeletal – arthritis, back pain, muscle weakness

2. Digestive issues – any, constipation, diarrhea, Gastritis, IBS, etc.

3. Emotional – anxiety, depression, insomnia, nervousness

4. Eyes, Ear and Throat / Respiratory– sinusitis, sore throat, rhinitis

5. Gynecological – menstrual imbalances, infertility

6. Neurological – headaches, migraines, seizures, Stroke, Guillen Barre Syndrome

7. So much more.

Is acupuncture demonic? Listen in to my theories, perspective and opinions; and debunk Christian opinions on this topic. I am trained in traditional chinese medicine, and this includes the study of acupuncture.

I want to dedicate this episode to the lovely Apostle Shirley Pace, a great woman of God, who joined the Lord in November 2024, and on her deathbed blessed me with a prophecy that edified my soul. As she told me, “Always be yourself, Dr. Lara. You bring light to the darkness in this world. Continue to be that pillar of light in this world by speaking God’s truth. Continue to bring healing to His people. You are a bold and courageous woman of God, don’t let anyone tell you differently.” I love her! She gave me courage to share this…….

In this episode, we will talk about why you are not healing, and how your doctor may be approaching your health concerns the wrong way. Oftentimes, if not, most of the time, doctors do not address the mental/emotional health of a person, the trauma they have experienced, and the soul healing that needs to happen. It is not completely their fault, they are not trained to handle all that. The healthcare system is divided and everything is compartmentalized into categories, separate from one area to another.

I will share what Craniosacral Therapy is, how it works and what conditions it is beneficial, but most importantly, how God has used this tool as a way for me to see the deeper wounds a person needs healing in. I will be discussing Somato-emotional release/healing, how emotions stay stuck in our bodies.

I will discuss how the soul is fractured and the need to restore the soul can only come from the Creator of the soul. While there are things that science can’t prove of the spirit and soul, the Scriptures in the Holy Bible, can help us understand God better.

Scriptures referred to:

Proverbs 12:23

Proverbs 18:14

Psalms 34:18

Psalms 38:8

Hebrews 4:12

1 Thessalonians 5:23

Listen and learn how trauma fractures the soul! And what does it take to heal holistically: physically, emotionally, mentally, and at the soul level.

Enjoy!

In this episode, God leads me to share about my family’s journey into the U.S., my upbringing and how my experiences have molded me into who I am today. I share about my desire to learn and grow, because of the limitations my parents experienced in their country.

Never make assumptions about others, get to know who they are. Everyone has a story of triumph, no matter how small or great. I talk about being a root type of person, and how root people thrive. We can agree to disagree, be respectful and still be united.

While I didn’t grow up religious, or was indoctrinated by religion, I have always had a relationship with God. This gives me a fresh perspective on Jesus and His teachings, as I don’t embrace “religion”, rather RELATIONSHIP with God. I learned to pray as a young child out of desperate moments of threats. Got will use you, even if you think you are a “nobody”, and make you into “someone” He can use for his glory. All we need to do is have faith, trust and be obedient to God. So when I share my faith in Jesus Christ, it is not because anyone forced me into a religion as I was growing up, or indoctrinated by anyone or any system. This will be important for viewers to understand as I share in future episodes: on spirit and soul teachings.

We live in a world where the family is shattered, and Americans raise their children with soft parenting approaches, and this leads to lazy and weak (without grit) children and adults who don’t take advantage of the opportunities offered in this wonderful country. We can change if we desire to change. Part of my mission in life is to inspire others, and let them know, “They can do it too!” God wants to use you as a vessel to bring glory to His Kingdom here on earth. Enjoy this episode.

A lot of detox products are pretty misleading, and while “detox” might be a marketing term, there are some ways that you can support your systems of elimination for optimal function.

In this episode, we will discuss the difference between a cleanse and detoxification; learn about the 5 systems of elimination, knowing the reasons to do a detoxification program, the appropriate testing of environmental toxin & heavy metals, appropriate ways to medically detoxify a person of environmental toxins, and learn some ways that our body is naturally doing a gentle cleansing and detoxing. We will discuss the importance of having consistent bowel movements, healthy levels of kidney and liver function before considering doing an actual detoxification program; and best if medically monitored by a doctor that is trained appropriately to perform detoxification programs.
