Podcasts about healing traditions

Have you ever wondered how the wisdom of your ancestors could guide you today? In this video, I explore the power of reconnecting with our roots—honoring the land, the traditions, and the sacred images that shaped those who came before us.I'll share three key ways to start unlocking the healing wisdom of your lineage:1. Inquiry – Asking questions, seeking out family stories, and researching your heritage.2. Iconography – Discovering the symbols, plants, and figures that held meaning for your ancestors.3. Rituals – Embracing ancestral foods, seasonal practices, and creative handiwork.I'll also share my own journey of diving into my Sicilian and Lithuanian roots and how this process has brought me deeper peace and meaning. In a world that often feels disconnected, reclaiming our ancestral traditions can be a powerful way to ground ourselves, find belonging, and embrace the wisdom within our lineage.Join me as we rediscover these lost healing traditions together!

My conversation with Sudhir Kakar took place five weeks before his untimely death on April 22nd.  “Freud obviously is very brave and courageous to accept that the world is inadequate and that my desires will never be sufficiently fulfilled. My question - is this in fact the case? I think that everyone has had some kind of spiritual experience, some more than others and in many different contexts, not just religious ones. Spiritual experiences contradict Freud's notion of common unhappiness and the idea of the world as inadequate. What reason do we have to assume that all such common experiences are simply false, that they are based on some kind of false consciousness? Rather, I believe that the inadequacy lies in our own awareness rather than with the world. The world allows for many experiences that would be highly adequate yet we block them - what we call the mundane world is much more enchanted than we think it is."    Episode Description: We begin by considering the embodiment of one's cultural imagination - "one's mental representation of culture" - into one's unconscious mind. Sudhir describes different early child-rearing practices and invites the question about their influence on our later inner lives. He shares with us his early idealization of Freudian/Western ways of thinking and his later development, which returned to the enchanting aspects of his Hindu youth. We discuss the similarities and differences between a Judeo-Christian-based psychoanalysis and one founded on a Hindu imagination. We consider the different notions of God, ritual, and illusion. He distinguishes an 'autonomous person' from a 'communitarian person' and describes the pleasures and burdens of each. We close with his sharing his lovely psychoanalytic origin story connected to his meeting Erik Erikson and discovering "I want to be like him."   Our Guest: Sudhir Kakar was a psychoanalyst, scholar, and writer. He had been a Lecturer and Visiting Professor at Harvard University, Visiting Professor at the Universities of Chicago, McGill, Melbourne, Hawaii, and Vienna, Fellow at the Institutes of Advanced Study, Princeton, Berlin, and Cologne, and was on the board of Freud Archives. He had received the Kardiner Award of Columbia University, Boyer Prize for Psychological Anthropology of the American Anthropological Association, Germany's Goethe Medal, Tagore-Merck Award, McArthur Research Fellowship, and Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. `As ‘the psychoanalyst of civilizations', the French weekly Le Nouvel Observateur listed Kakar in 2005 as one of the world's 25 major thinkers. Sudhir was the author/editor of 20 books of non-fiction and six novels. His books have been translated into 22 languages.   Recommended Readings: Kakar, Sudhir - The Indian Jungle: Psychoanalysis and Non-Western Civilizations, Karnac.

For more than three months, residents in south Plaquemines Parish didn't have safe drinking water. The cause? Intruding salt water from the Gulf of Mexico caused by two years of back-to-back drought. When news broke of approaching salt water in more populous areas further up the river, state and local officials took immediate action. Today, the Coastal Desk's Halle Parker reports on the residents in Plaquemines who felt forgotten.  The Louisiana Book Festival is returning to Baton Rouge at the end of the month. Two of this year's featured authors are Mary Perrin and Beverly Fuselier, the authors of, “Healing Traditions of South Louisiana, prayers, plants, and poultices.”  Perrin and Fuselier released the book one year ago this month. They dig into health and wellness traditions of Louisiana's Cajun, Creole and Native American communities. Today, they join us for more on the history of community healers — known as “traiteurs” — and the modern influence of ancient healing techniques.  Internationally renowned Complexions Contemporary Ballet co-founder and choreographer Dwight Rhoden and six-time Grammy-nominated Jazz trumpeter and composer Chief Adjuah, formerly Christian Scott, are joining forces for a special season-opening performance with the New Orleans Ballet Association. Dwight Rhoden joins us for more on this upcoming performance, which features contemporary movement and the music of Lenny Kravitz. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Diane Mack.

It's time to expand the definition of “medicine”. Healed people, heal people.Welcome back, dear HMA listeners!Join us as we immerse ourselves in the captivating world of curanderismo.Curanderismo is a form of traditional medicine that has its roots in the indigenous cultures of Latin America and has been passed down from generation to generation. It combines elements of herbal medicine, spirituality and energy healing to treat a variety of physical and emotional ailments.One of the most interesting aspects of curanderismo is its holistic approach. Healers believe that body, mind, and spirit are intrinsically connected, and that illness or imbalance in one of these aspects can affect the others. Therefore, treatment focuses on restoring balance and harmony at all levels.In this episode, we had the pleasure of welcoming "Chio" as our special guest. Chio is the owner of Sacred Semillas, a nurturing space located in Oakland, CA. At Sacred Semillas, they offer various services such as Limpias (spiritual cleansings), Retreats, Forest Bathing, Self-Care Socials, and even a Mercadito (marketplace). In the previous episode, some of you might recall that Lizette's mother underwent surgery at the end of June, and her recovery has been quite challenging. Despite the difficulties, Lizette and her family were able to bring her mother back home. It was during this time that Lizette's mother expressed a desire for a "limpia," a spiritual cleansing. Determined to find someone trustworthy, Lizette reached out and met Chio, who played an instrumental role in their journey.To discover the rest of the story and gain insight into the world of curanderismo, we invite you to listen to this episode. We'd love to hear your own experiences with curanderismo or if you know someone who has benefited from its practices. Share your thoughts and stories with us.Remember, while curanderismo offers valuable healing approaches, it's always essential to seek professional medical advice.And recuerden, "When you know better, You do better."GUEST:“Chio”IG: @Sacred.Semillas https://www.instagram.com/sacred.semillas/SacredSemillas@gmail.comDOWNLOAD and SUBSCRIBE to Hijas Madres Y Amigas & FOLLOW US ON:INSTAGRAM@hijasmadresyamigashttps://rb.gy/v3kfq@seelenaaa_https://rb.gy/suy5y@lizetteaguilera_https://rb.gy/81p2gSPOTIFYLizette - https://tinyurl.com/328abak3Selena - https://rb.gy/ohw0oTIK-TOK@hijasmadresyamigashttps://tinyurl.com/2aw88byhSubscribe to our newsletter at www.justjmarc.com/hijasmadresyamigasPlease email us here with any suggestions, comments, and questions for future episodes. hijasmadresyamigas@gmail.com

Panquetzani honors the over 4,000-year-old traditions of her foremothers and integrates her 16 years of study into her practice. She comes from a matriarchal family of folk healers, growing up with bedtime stories of magic, miracles, and deep transformation. These impactful narratives have led Panquetzani to believe that all people have innate wisdom that can revolutionize their well-being and that of their families. As a holistic womb counselor, complete wellness coach, traditional birth attendant, and foundress of Indigemama: Ancestral Healing, her goal is to support, educate, inspire, and gently guide her clients and students.In this conversation, Panquetzani and I explore the profound impact of traditional Mexican healing stories on her work, how colonialism tragically disrupted and eroded ancestral healing practices and wisdom across cultures, the current resurgence of traditional medicine, and the stark differences between mainstream health and Panquetzani's unique approach, which is grounded in ancestral wisdom and guided by a holistic perspective.To learn more, visit https://nicolejardim.com/podcasts/honoring-and-preserving-ancestral-wisdom-healing-traditions-panquetzani-of-indigemama/.Podcast Production Support: Amazing Gains | https://listenerstoclients.com

Their book provides a fascinating history of South Louisiana's traditional healing arts from the dawn of civilization to today. Part One is about traiteurs (male) and traiteuses (female), their prayers, and rituals. Part Two presents the native medicinal plants that grow wild in South Louisiana, their properties and their traditional uses. Mary and Beverly are traiteurs who treat whatever is ailing you, such as back pain, wounds, warts, anxiety, sunstroke, etc. Traiteurs work with healing plants, occasionally “making medicine” when needed. And Mary and Beverly are dedicated….right before we began taping, they worked all morning at the Healing Garden at Vermilionville! Pictured is La Maison du Traiteur ("The Healer's House) at Vermilionville, surrounded by Le Jardin du Traiteur (The Healer's Garden), sponsored by the Lafayette Parish Master Gardeners Association (LPMGA). The site is open for tourists to visit all year. Mary Perrin recommends the best time to visit is on one of the Culture Days held during the summertime where you will enjoy a guided tour. To view the complete garden guide, visit here. Healing Traditions is a beautiful testament to our Acadian culture and the traditions that have been carried down by one generation after another. It is also a beautiful testament to the Native Americans who first arrived in South Louisiana more than a thousand years before European settlers, who had discovered "a rich diversity of plant and animal life in its bayous, prairies, and marshes....they uncovered a multitude of powerful natural curatives, plants that could stop bleeding, cure infections, relieve pain, reduce fever, stop swelling, soothe troubled minds, and more. In short, Mother Nature's medicine cabinet was well stocked." These generous Native Americans shared their plant curative knowledge with the Acadians' traiteurs as they settled into their new home in South Louisiana. According to Healing Traditions of South Louisiana, Elderberry was "revered for its medical and reputed magical qualities" and the Acadians and Native Americans considered it vital to their medical needs. It is considered to be the "queen of the Healer's Garden." The book is a beautifully written account of local healing herbs and the healing touch and prayer of traiteurs. A beautiful gift to give, Discover Lafayette thanks Mary Perrin and Beverly Fuselier for the time and talent they invested to make Healing Traditions a reality! Healing Traditions of South Louisiana is available for purchase at Beausoleil Books, Vermilionville, the Acadian Museum of Erath, Books Along the Teche, and Longfellow State Historic Site.

I guess you might call them faith healers, but they are more than that description because they often rely on certain herbs and plants, as well as handed-down prayer and sometimes even a gentle touch to heal certain maladies. They have long been a part of Cajun culture especially in rural areas away from standard medical treatment. Mary Perrin and Bev Fusel, two traiteuses (the female equivalent of “traiteurs”) from the Lafayette area, and the authors of a newly published book "Healing Traditions of South Louisiana, prayers, plants and poultices" join Louisiana Life Executive Editor Errol Laborde, along with podcast producer Kelly Massicot to talk about what maladies are best treated by traiteurs and why. Oh yes, we will also hear about the power of elderberries.

Native Americans in professional healing professions may creatively incorporate Native ways in their work, but the path is not easy.  The same is true for those coming from a Western background that realize there is something lacking in modern medicine and are attracted to Native ways of healing. Western and Native approaches to healing may seem incompatible—linear-mechanical, biological or genetic causes versus interdependent, community and natural world imbalances—but there is a way to integrate them, to see and walk in two worlds. Not easily and not without pushback perhaps, but there is a way. Our two guests, one Native, one non-Native, have both been powerfully influenced and transformed by Indigenous wisdom and also other ways of knowing and have done the work to integrate and implement a more holistic vision of medicine. Join us as we explore how to integrate healing traditions on the next Circle for Original Thinking podcast.

Episode 128. “Even a true, traditional guru — his only intention would be to introduce you to the teacher that exists within yourself.” ~Mason Pain Throughout this entire pandemic (hello, first anniversary!), I've grown more keenly aware of my need for:  A protective bubble for my mind, a metaphysical helmet if you like, to protect my synapses from the torrent of bad news and keyed-up discourse and… A phrase to describe the practices that contribute to my sense of inner + outer wellbeing – something beyond the retail boon of self-care and… While I'm at it, a true reckoning around those beneficial practices with problematic roots It's a lot to unpack in a year that has served up more than its share of awakenings. Gong resonance sound therapist and yoga teacher Mason Pain has a strategy for calibrating his thoughts and actions around all those weighty issues. He advocates that we all develop more discernment and build intuition into our everyday lives. He's well aware of what a challenge that can be having wrestled with the recent (as well as the long-standing) revelations accusations of disturbing abuse committed by Yogi Bhajan, the now-deceased spiritual head of Kundalini yoga.  Oh, self-care, why can't you just be about delicious cupcakes and cat/cow pose (delicious as well, but in a different way)?! I struggled with what to call this episode... Slow down, go deeper Meet your inner teacher Move and breathe Protect your mind and your heart ...They all apply to both the episode AND the deep healing that any of us could use right now.
