Social Media and Original Sin Part 2 with Tristan Bray
PART 2
The world of social media is here, it’s pervasive and it is not going away; but how do we integrate with it in a healthy and sustainable manner? It’s this questions that lead me to sitting down with Tristan Bray to explore some of the physiological effects that Instagram & Facebook have when in excess and some very interesting distinctions that can help us to stay centred in navigating this vast, polarising, deep, shallow, complex, silly and meaningful virtual world. Get ready to get some wake up calls around the nature of this virtual world and learn the dynamic ways that it is being used by people and organisations around the world. Social media often sits on a knifes edge between being medicine for the world or poison (like many herbs based on their dose), let’s explore where that dynamic line exists.
Part 2 of this social media epic and we’re going deeper. Tristan and I couldn’t contain the amount of info we wanted to share with you in one interview and this episode contains all the juice that flowed forth as we started to jam. Get ready to change the relationship you have with social media.
In this instalment, we pick it up and run with the following topics:
- Creative exercise as part of upgrading attention span and cognitiion
- Social media excess and the distortion created by it
- Psychiatry and pharmaceutical withdrawal
- Navigating past trollers in the cyber world
- Letting go of social media's unwritten laws and rigor
- What we see VS what is reality through the social media lens
- Vulnerability in the social media world
Tristan has been a Regression Therapist for ten years. He brings his in depth background in Psychotherapy, Meditation, Quantum Healing, Cell Biology, Epigenetics, Kinesiology, Psychopharmacology, Sexual Health, Diet, Detox, Philosophy, Metaphysics, Taoism, Shamanism, Entheogens, Chi Gung, Kung Fu and Modern Medical Science to his clients, talks and workshops. He currently shares his skills as a therapist, life coach and counsellor.
Throughout his twenties Tristan has studied internationally in the healing arts. He is passionate in reminding people, that the human capacity for healing is limitless. Tristan helps to open his client’s minds to how many natural super abilities that we all possess to enhance our life that have been squashed out of the mainstream belief system by reductionist scientific dogma and disempowerment religions.
Tristan’s healing treatments, seminars and workshops are primarily focused around clearing trauma and sharing why this is so important to all of us. Trauma is the biggest cause of ill health in our world because it often will permanently change the body’s physiology, emotions and spiritual outlook if not released. Much of modern medicine looks at putting a ‘band aid effect’ over the current effect of trauma as opposed to clearing it, back at the creation point.

We dive pretty deep into how to develop a relationship with these herbs, as well sharing insights into what makes them so special, where they came from and the possibilities that they open within our capacity for physical health and immunological freedom.
I think you'll particularly appreciate the simple yet deep way in which the information and insights are delivered, they go beyond just being another source telling you to include something in your diet because it's healthy, but offer the opportunity for you to get very clear and empowered around this conversation of tonic herbalism in a modern context.
