In this insightful episode, Roland Torikian recounts his profound journey into Maya medicine, finding his spiritual calling in the heart of Mexico. Delving into the transformative power of community and ceremony, he explores how these ancient practices connect us to both the seen and unseen worlds. Initiated into Maya Medicine under the guidance of Lauro de la Cruz during the tumultuous Zapatista uprising, he shares how immersing himself in the culture felt like a homecoming, as he served the local Mayan community. Central to Maya healing practices are sweat lodges, which symbolise the womb of Mother Earth and serve as spaces for communal healing and transformation. Through the harmonisation of elemental forces and the acknowledgment of the visible and invisible realms, participants are invited to confront and transcend their inner imbalances. Roland emphasises the importance of intention setting and integration after sweat lodge ceremonies, urging participants to release unwanted states and embrace healing qualities. By reflecting on personal needs and contributions to the wider community, individuals can embark on a journey of self-discovery and collective healing. Roland also addresses misconceptions surrounding sweat lodges, highlighting the importance of preparation and caution for individuals with certain medical conditions. Ultimately, the sweat lodge becomes a microcosm of the world, stripping away inauthenticity and fostering humility, as participants reconnect with their bodies and breath, and listen within for guidance and healing. Listeners are left with a profound understanding of the transformative power of Maya medicine, community, and ceremony in restoring balance and wellbeing. --- Maya Medicine, originating from the Mayan civilization over 2,500 years ago, represents an integrated system of natural healing deeply rooted in the understanding of the interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world.  Central to this medical system is the harmonization and balance of the five elemental forces: earth, water, fire, wind, and space, as well as the recognition of the relationship between the visible and invisible realms. Roland Torikian's journey as a Maya healer spans nearly three decades, encompassing both Mexico and the UK. His initiation into Maya Medicine occurred under the tutelage of Lauro de la Cruz in the Maya highlands of Chiapas, Mexico. Following his apprenticeship, Roland established a clinic in Dharamshala, North India, while delving into the study of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy. In his practice, Roland bridges the worlds of Maya and Tibetan medicine and healing, drawing parallels and connections between these ancient traditions. He emphasizes the utilization of ceremonies, meditation, and shamanic practices derived from the Kagyu lineage and Bon Buddhism. By integrating these modalities, Roland offers a holistic approach to healing that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of individuals. Through his extensive experience and training, Roland embodies a unique perspective that embraces the wisdom of multiple cultural and spiritual traditions. His work not only serves to heal the ailments of the body but also to nourish the soul and facilitate deeper connections to the natural and spiritual worlds.

Welcome to a deeply transformative episode of The Psychedelic Podcast. Today, we embark on a journey into the profound teachings of tantra with our insightful guest, Valentina Leo aka Mrslove.  Valentina begins by unravelling the layers of tantra, drawing from the wisdom of Osho to illuminate the Western world's wounded relationship with eroticism and sexuality. In a society where the spirit and body have been tragically divided by religious dogma, tantra offers a path to healing this rift and accessing a deeper connection with divinity. But what is tantra really about? Valentina explains that at its core, tantra is an exploration of our erotic relationship with divinity—a practice that goes far beyond mere sexual activity, requiring a deep understanding of its overarching philosophy. As we delve deeper into the conversation, Valentina challenges the prevailing winner and loser mentality of our society, reminding us of our inherent authority over our own experiences in life. In tantra, every aspect of our being, even our egos, is seen as an expression of the divine, calling us to embrace both freedom and responsibility in equal measure. We confront the impact of patriarchy and the call for a collective endeavour towards freedom, recognising the true power of the feminine in letting go and embracing inclusion. Moving beyond the narrative of healing as fixing what's broken, Valentina invites us to embrace practices that acknowledge our inherent wholeness, celebrating every aspect of our existence. From the intersection of sex and dying to the power of visualisation and imagination, Valentina guides us through the profound journey of entering the body and accessing the depths of the heart. Tears become the lubrication of the heart, leading us to the transformative realisation that grief is not a hindrance but a gateway to expansion and understanding. In this episode, we confront the core of our being, celebrating every experience as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Join us as we embrace the wisdom of tantra and embark on a journey of profound transformation and celebration. --- Valentina Leo is passionate and extremely well regard Italian born Tantra teacher based in Cape town.  At the core of Valentina's philosophy lies a profound reverence for truth and the marvels of embodied existence. She sees the human body not merely as a vessel but as a sacred gateway to deeper understanding and connection. Her teachings extend beyond the realm of intimate relationships, touching upon every aspect of daily existence.  In essence Valentina encapsulates traditional tantric wisdom for modern living and loving.

It's human nature to get excited by the latest and greatest treatments, from outer space to muscle tone pelvic pain, we're captivated by scientific advancements. But this enthusiasm has a dark side, causing many clinics and patients to exchange simple and effective strategies for flashy new treatments that come with a hashtag. Dr. Rachel Worman is a licensed physical therapist (PT) who has experience in acute care physical therapy and extensive dual training, clinical and teaching experience in musculoskeletal and pelvic health physical therapy. After 13 years of clinical practice, Dr. Rachel earned her PhD with a focus on pelvic health outcome measures and male pelvic health. We cover topics such as: 1:15 What to call it? Hypertonic pelvic floor, overactive pelvic floor, tight or non-relaxing pelvic floor muscles? 8:55 How and who treats pelvic floor dysfunction 10:30 Educating patients with pelvic pain and choice of language 16:37 Uncertainty and the biopsychosocial model 17:40 Pain and hypertonicity 20:00 ICS and reasoning scale 36:00 EMG biofeedback for pelvic floor physical therapists 45:00 Internal and manual therapy for male pelvic pain 51:30 Psychosexual measures and sleep, hormonal, or musculoskeletal factors 55:00 Bridging research with clinicians on social media Pelvic floor physical therapists and patients have to be mindful of the influence that media (including social media and speakers at conferences) has on trending treatment ideas and how common it is for a 10-second video on social media to hijack a patient's treatment plan, simply because it wasn't a good fit. There's no one-size-fits-all treatment strategy for pelvic pain, which is why there many treatment strategies. Through critical evaluation, clinicians must determine the most appropriate and effective treatment strategy, or combination of strategies, for that single patient. Dr. Rachel shares how important it is for clinicians to be flexible, individualized, and science-based, and to avoid getting caught up in clinical habits of using one hallmark treatment for all patients. In such a difficult field, where all the measures we have for tone are problematic, these  generalizations and trending treatment ideas, while good for marketing, ultimately delays effective treatment and harms patients. It's necessary to prioritize the knowledge of evidence-based practices and personalized care to ensure optimal outcomes for patients.

Joel Kim Booster (stand-up comedian, writer, actor) opens up about bipolar disorder, his early sexual identity realizations, and the challenges of living at the intersection of a variety of cultures. He discusses the complexities of being adopted as a baby by a white American Baptist family, his tumultuous teenage years of finding himself while grappling with his deeply religious and conservative parents, and how the arts helped him with his coming out process. Joel details how his bipolar diagnosis helped him reframe his life experiences, his “productive” hypomania, the benefits of medication, and why it can be difficult to let go of mental illness. He reveals why social media has been the biggest stressor on his mental health, how the depiction of Asian men fed into his depression, and the frustration and freedom that comes with being “stereotypically gay.” Mayim breaks down the different types of bipolar disorder and how the condition manifests.See more of Joel Kim Booster here:Fire Island is available now on Hulu.Joel's first hour-long comedy special, PsychoSexual, is available now on Netflix.LOOT is available now on Apple TV+. BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialik

Joel Kim Booster jokes about being safe in his Netflix special, "Psychosexual".

Joel Kim Booster is everywhere these days. Fire Island, the romantic comedy he wrote and stars in, debuted last month on Hulu. It's a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice. His latest stand-up special Psychosexual is currently streaming on Netflix. He's also starring on the new Apple TV+ workplace comedy Loot. He talked with Bullseye in 2018 about his religious Illinois upbringing, and the parts of his career he's most proud of.

Comic Joel Kim Booster speaks with guest interviewer Sam Sanders about his new film Fire Island (which he wrote and stars in). Inspired by Pride and Prejudice, it's a rom-com about a group of gay friends and explores racism and classism in their community. Booster also talks about his Netflix stand-up special Psychosexual and growing up Asian with white, evangelical Christian parents. Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh.

Comedian Joel Kim Booster talks to Jesse about the evolution of his late night sets and career, focusing in partiuclar on his January 2019 performance on The Late Late Show with James Corden. Joel addresses Asian and gay stereotypes as they've appeared in comedy, as well as why he adopts a "hot idiot" persona onstage despite only being one of those two things. (He's hot, not an idiot.)
