What If Nothing Is Wrong With You? Understanding Threat, Ease, and the Nervous System

What if your biggest problem… isn’t actually a problem at all? In this enlightening conversation, Harmony and Russell welcome back longtime friend, acupuncturist, and author Dr. Jagdeep Johal. Together, they explore how unresolved threat—not personality flaws or psychological issues—drives our sense of suffering.Dr. Johal discusses his new book, Ease: Unwinding the Biology of Threat, which reframes trauma, burnout, and stress through the lens of the nervous system. From the body's threat-response system to the illusions of the left brain, this episode offers a paradigm shift: healing isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about remembering your capacity for ease.In this episode, you'll hear:- Why trauma isn’t always a “big” event—it can be the accumulation of everyday stress- How the nervous system registers threat even when we’re not consciously aware of it- The three phases every cell moves through: Threat, Motion, and Ease- Why the left brain constantly lies to us—and what happens when we quiet it- The “threat bucket” metaphor and how our bodies store unresolved tension- The difference between actual safety and perceived safety- How acupuncture, spinal energetics, and spontaneous movement restore ease- Why doing *nothing* might be the most healing thing of all- How Dr. Johal’s long COVID experience shaped his understanding of illness and healing- What dogs, trees, and artists can teach us about true easeGuest Bio:Dr. Jagdeep Johal is an acupuncturist, teacher, and author who integrates Chinese medicine, somatic healing, and Buddhist philosophy. For over two decades, he’s helped clients reconnect with the intelligence of the body and restore nervous system regulation. His latest book, Ease: Unwinding the Biology of Threat, offers a refreshing, practical, and poetic exploration of trauma, healing, and selfhood.

Yoga, Suffering, and the Search for Meaning in a Changing World

Harmony and Russell sit down with Paul Bramadat — professor, anthropologist, and longtime yoga practitioner — to explore the spiritual, cultural, and deeply human dimensions of modern yoga. Paul, who began his yoga journey in Harmony’s studio in Victoria, BC, now returns not as a student, but as the author of Yoga Lands, a fascinating book that blends memoir, ethnography, and cultural critique.
Together, they dive into the real reasons people are drawn to yoga: not just for fitness or flexibility, but as a response to suffering. From the spiritual to the sociopolitical, this episode weaves personal stories and academic insights into a rich discussion of cultural appropriation, inclusivity, identity, and the subtle energies that shape how we relate to each other in the yoga room.
This episode is essential listening for yoga practitioners, teachers, and anyone who’s ever felt the transformative pull of the practice — even when the reasons are messy, complicated, and rooted in pain.
🔍 Topics Covered:
The origins of Paul’s yoga journey—and his unexpected return as a scholar and teacher
How suffering draws people to yoga across cultural and class lines
The subtle politics of yoga spaces in North America
Cultural appropriation vs. respectful integration of Indic traditions
The rise of yoga among women and what that says about modern spirituality
Differences between Canadian and American views on wellness and healthcare
How yoga spaces function as secular sanctuaries
The “erotics of proximity” in yoga rooms—and why we need new language for it
What it means to honor yoga’s roots while making space for modern evolution
Why inclusivity matters—and how to create truly welcoming spaces
🧘 About Our Guest:
Paul Bramadat, PhD is a professor of religious studies at the University of Victoria, specializing in the cultural and political intersections of religion and public life. He is the director of the Centre for Studies in Religion and Society and a long-time yoga practitioner. His new book, Yoga Lands: In Search of Practice on the Mat and in the World, brings academic rigor and personal insight to the complex and beautiful messiness of modern yoga culture.

From Hyperfocus to Chaos: Real Talk About Neurodivergence

In this episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with Raquel Devillé, a skilled therapist specializing in neurodiversity. They explore the complexities of living with ADHD, autism, and sensory sensitivities, and how these experiences can manifest in daily life—especially for highly sensitive individuals.
Key Topics Covered:
The meaning and nuances of neurodiversity (beyond labels and diagnoses)
Executive functioning, rigid thinking, masking, and sensory overload
How somatic therapies like TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) and brainspotting support trauma healing
The difference between neurotypical and neurodivergent experiences, and why “normal” might not exist at all
Raquel’s perspective on labels and diagnosis—why she prefers to avoid them
The spontaneous tremoring response and its impact on healing
The overlap between ADHD and autism, especially in women
Managing everyday challenges like disorganization, distraction, and overwhelm
How Raquel organizes her spices alphabetically—and what that says about her brain!
How tremoring can reduce stress, sugar cravings, and even trauma-related symptoms
The importance of recognizing your own needs and finding therapies that work for your unique wiring
Raquel’s Approach:
Raquel explains her integrative approach, combining TRE, somatic experiencing, and brainspotting to help clients release trauma and stress stored in the body. She discusses why spontaneous tremoring can be a powerful reset for the nervous system and how somatic work differs from cognitive therapy by engaging deeper brain regions like the limbic system and the brainstem.
