Traditional Medicine Podcast with Caara Lovick

In the last episode of the mini-series "Best Practices for Working with Indigenous Healers and Their Communities," we're sharing a coca reading about Traditional Medicine and Caara's work. We asked the Q'ero to ask Mother Earth and the Sacred Mountains what they think of this project and if it's good. We're working to have the coca reading up on Youtube by the time this episode is released so you can read along. After this episode, we will take a break to work on a free webinar to give you everything you need to navigate your healing using Traditional Indigenous Medicines of South America. www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

Our last episode discussed how worker-owned or community-owned cooperative business structures harmonize with Amazonian and High Andean Q'ero traditions. Democratic workplaces safeguard communities, ensure no abuse takes place, and helps distribute wealth more evenly. Although projects can take on a more conventional business model until the project is successful, anyone working with these traditions should prepare for the day that they have to convert their business into a cooperative. In today's episode, we discuss what could happen if you decide not to respect these traditions and don't walk this path of power with the communities you're in business with.  www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

This episode discusses how worker-owned or community-owned businesses are the best structures for projects working with these indigenous healers and their communities. These businesses bring democracy into the workplace and harmonize with these healing traditions. The idea of capitalism is not native to the Americas. Although we live in a capitalist society, we must preserve these traditions by honoring them and creating businesses that are in harmony with them. Sometimes a conventional business is more practical at first, but our goal should always be to convert these businesses to maximize their value for these communities. www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In this episode, we're discussing best practices for working with indigenous healers and their communities. To start this conversation, we must examine the science behind keeping human populations healthy and happy. We will review what anthropologists and epidemiologists (health experts who study large human populations) have found out regarding this topic and how this same wisdom is embedded into the fabric of both Amazonian and High Andean Q'ero healing traditions.  www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In our mini-series on what power is, we've talked about how power is the ability to hold space for good things to happen and how virtues like radical compassion and service to this planet are part of the keys to unlocking high levels of power. Now in this episode, we discuss Mother Earth and her energetic role in helping us to reach new levels of power. Just like a marathon runner would not be able to run long distances without the proper nutrition, we also cannot access high levels of consciousness and power without this planet's energetic and spiritual nourishment. www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In this episode, we delve deeper into the exploration of power, drawing from personal experiences. I share insights gained from Ayahuasca training, recounting simulations in ceremonies that illuminate the essence of power. Join me on this journey through the Amazonian and High Andean Q'ero healing traditions, uncovering valuable lessons along the way.www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In today's episode, we continue discussing power and what power is for wisdom keepers in the Andes and the Amazon. And it's not just the way wisdom keepers of the Andes or the Amazon view power; it is multiple religions and spiritual disciplines saying the same thing. Why? Because they are tapping into the same truth. Today we talk about how Amazonian healers and Q'ero healers walk the path to power and follow the same path as bible scriptures and other texts from other disciplines without having a book of their own. Instead of reading about the way to power or enlightenment, they are walking it and crossing into the spiritual side of life.www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

For indigenous healers in both the Amazon and High Andes, power is the ability to hold space for good things to happen. To build and access power, healers must undergo a challenging, energetic, and spiritual refinement process that helps them bring powerful medicine into this world. In this episode, we discuss what power means in these traditions and how they compare to other traditions and religions that outline the path to power or enlightenment. www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

This episode discusses the genius of Q'ero's wisdom and healing tradition. The Q'ero Healing Tradition has simplified complex energetic and spiritual concepts to the bare minimum. It has established ways to bring their entire community effortlessly to higher levels of consciousness alongside mother earth and the sacred mountains. We cover how they see beyond the images and the symbols provided by our minds to translate energetic and spiritual phenomena, effectively seeing beyond these illusions and placing their finger on the pulse of reality at its most accurate source. www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In today's episode, we review how our minds interpret energy. First, we cover how our world is both physical and spiritual. We, as humans, are both physical and spiritual as well. Humans capture information regarding their physical environment through the senses and energetic/spiritual information regarding their environment through inborn intuitions. The mind then translates this spiritual and energetic world into dreams, symbols, images, and other forms of expression to help us understand this energetic/spiritual event.www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

We're continuing our mini-series on the Amazonian Healing Disciplines with Part 2. In this episode, we're focusing on the healers. What does it take to become an excellent Amazonian healer? We will discuss how healers embark on a lifelong journey of self-development, service to others, building connections to sacred Amazonian beings, and integrating divine energies into their field to help them perform powerful healing for others. www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

We're starting a mini-series on the Amazonian healing disciplines in today's episode. This discipline is best known for its work with sacred plants like Ayahuasca and even the sacred frog known as Kambo. Today we'll cover the three critical ingredients which made this Amazonian traditional indigenous discipline possible, along with the High Andean Q'ero healing tradition. We'll also talk a little about how healers learn in this tradition and how healers are brought into this tradition as well. www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In this episode, we're going over why your client must find the proper discipline and medicine to help alleviate their problem, the 3-step process indigenous healers use to help clients, and what you need to know as a mental health expert to support your client before and after these healing sessions. www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In this episode, we compare Carl Jung's work and the disciplines pioneered by Traditional Indigenous Healers in their efforts to work and understand the "unconscious," or what indigenous healers call the energetic and spiritual aspect of reality. We discuss that the main difference between these disciplines lies in their roots. On the one hand, Carl Jung's methods depend on the conscious side of life or the physical side of reality, where the intellect reigns supreme. On the other hand, indigenous healers have built their disciplines and methods using the very framework of the unconscious or the spiritual/energetic aspects of reality.www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

This episode discusses the importance of listening to indigenous healers regarding their medicines and traditions. We go over what microaggressions and microinvalidations towards indigenous healers look like, along with the dangers of these attitudes and behaviors running rampant in the online communities which emerged because of their innovations and pioneering work.  www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In this episode, we finish our mini-series on Kambo. First, we review what modern science has found about Kambo secretion and what peptides are all about. Then we cover what to expect when taking this medicine and more. www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In today's episode, we continue our conversation about Kambo by sharing personal first-hand experiences to provide you with insider knowledge of what lies behind the veil of this incredible medicine. We will discuss what it looks like energetically to introduce this medicine into the body, what it's like to come in contact with the sacred Kambo being, and why it's always important to see this medicine as more than just a physical medicine.  www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

Kambo medicine comes from the Amazonian Giant Tree Frog. In this episode, we will build the foundation you need to learn about this beautiful Amazonian medicine and sacred being. This episode will be a part of a mini-series on Kambo. www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In this episode, we continue our conversation about Ayahuasca, narrowing the explanation down to one single word or term to answer the question, "What is Ayahuasca?" www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In today's episode, we build the foundation to understand what Ayahuasca is. We review the basics, sneak in some neuroscience from Dr. Jordi Riba and his team in Barcelona, and review the framework these Traditional Indigenous Medicines live within, including Ayahuasca, to avoid unnecessary learning curves that can slow up progress. This is part 1 of our "What is Ayahuasca?" mini-series. www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In this episode, we continue our conversation with mental health experts offering integration (or preparation) services to clients who have opted to incorporate traditional indigenous healing services into their healing journey. We discuss how important it is for mental health and traditional indigenous healing disciplines to work together, especially when clients decide to incorporate traditional indigenous healing services into their healing journey, as they complement each other significantly throughout the client's healing process. In addition, by allowing traditional indigenous healers to monitor the energetics of the client before and after their traditional indigenous healing services, we provide the client with continuity in the support being offered and ensure the best possible results.  www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In this episode, we identify the common challenges mental health experts and traditional indigenous healers face on their journey to helping people. In our challenges, we find common ground and an opportunity to bridge both disciplines. In bridging the two disciplines successfully, we can provide more continuity in the support we offer clients seeking traditional indigenous medicines. Mental health experts must avoid pitfalls when finding ways to complement traditional indigenous healers and their work. True collaboration is imminent and necessary to provide clients with the best services and support.www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In today's episode, we go over some of the challenges High Andean Q'ero and Amazonian Indigenous Healers and their communities are being challenged with.www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

Today's episode discusses how Traditional Indigenous Healers expect to see new, more potent medicines coming into this world. The more challenging our times get, the more powerful the medicines will need to be in order to bring about balance. The Q'ero expected to see new levels of mastery achieved in their healing tradition. They also expected new souls with unique energetics and gifts to enter our world. These new "medicines" in the form of people will need help being birthed and can sometimes come into this world with a rigid set of challenges meant to help them mature into their calling and purpose. Healers are here to help guide them onto the path of blossoming their powers and abilities, using traditional indigenous medicines and wisdom.  www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In this episode, we talk about the sense of duty and responsibility traditional indigenous healers from Peru feel for the earth and for humanity. Their healing and teaching, like in the case of the High Andean Q'ero  Community, have been preserved to fulfill that duty and responsibility in aiding humanity into a new era.www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

In today's episode, we explore why cultivating empathy and compassion not only benefits the people around you but can even save your life. Empathy and compassion can serve to protect you on your journey through life, guide you down your true path, and help you build the highest levels of power.www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

So what are Coca Readings all about? And why are they so important in the High Andean Q'ero tradition? In this episode we go into the importance of the coca plant, its energetics and how the Q'ero came into this method of communication with Mother Earth (Pachamama) and the Sacred Mountains (Apus).www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami
