Conversations with Michael Stone and Guests

In this episode of WE Earth Radio, Michael shares a recording of a talk he recently offered, 'Why Can't We Just Get Along: How to Reconnect When Soul Loss Keeps Us Separate,' during the recent 2023 Shamanic Wisdom Summit on The Shift Network.Throughout time, shamanic practitioners have performed journeys and ceremonies that guide us to use the portal of our dreams to activate healings on multiple levels, including resolving generational trauma and tapping into the healing power of nature to access the deep wisdom of our ancestral heritage.They can also help us confront our personal, collective, and ancestral wounds, using transformational energy rituals to recognize the medicine within so we can turn limitations, traumas, and fears into light and energy to use for our growth.Michael Stone is a spiritual author, mentor, shamanic practitioner, radio host, producer, and trauma integration facilitator who co-creates individual and group environments and experiences that support people in transcending the myth of separation to experience deep and profound interconnection with others and all of life. He has been teaching and leading embodied experiential events, classes, teleseminars, and workshops on organizational development, embodied shamanism, moving meditation, personal growth, and spiritual fulfillment for over 50 years.This interview is part of the Shamanic Wisdom Summit a free online event.

In this episode of WE Earth Radio, Michael shares a recording of a live talk he recently offered, titled, Being Peace.Being Peace - Transforming Pain & Suffering'We can bomb the world to pieces, but we can't bomb it into peace.' -Michael FrantiIn the past week, I have spoken with, consoled, counseled, cried with, and held many of you in my heart as we experienced the overwhelming pain, violence, suffering, fear, and anxiety of the current global madness and disruption together. How do we meet this escalation and interruption of life and still maintain a sense of peaceful groundedness? How do we keep from shutting down our sense of humanity and caring? Most of all, what can we do to use the current disruption to open our hearts and heal our woundedness?I don't profess to know the answers to these questions, but I know that healing happens when we come together in mutual, authentic, transparent exploration and common unity.The focus of this recorded talk was on how to meet the current challenges and find ways to empower ourselves and our families as we meet the escalating separation, alienation, and divisiveness of our times.This is not a time to "go it alone" or stuff our feelings and suppress our anger, sadness, and grief. It is a time to come together, feel, reflect, digest, and integrate our personal and collective pain. To heal, we have to feel! Suppressing our emotions and bodily responses only causes dis-ease, stress, tension, anxiety, reaction, and separation.'The moment I react, I have no future; I become bound only to physical, mental, and emotional habits belonging to the past!-Thomas HüblThank you for listening!with love and gratitude,MichaelFor more information on the Well of Light Global Community, Programs, Radio shows and Services go to www.welloflight.comWell of Light Youtube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA5h3FC0A…annel=WellOfLightTo access other great interviews and offerings: www.patreon.com/welloflightYour donations are gratefully received and make it all possible!
