(image source: https://dinosaurpictures.org/Erketu-pictures) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Lawrence Mack discuss Erketu, an obscure dinosaur named after a principle deity in Mongolian Shamanism, which means the jokes we make on this episode will surely send us straight to Mongolian hell. From the Late Cretaceous, this 50-foot macronarian sauropod had the longest neck relative to its body of any dinosaur, leading to the aforementioned terrible jokes you all expect us to make that are somehow worse this episode than ever.

Author Matthew Pallamary discussed shamanic practices and ceremonies in the jungle, including the use of psychedelic plant medicines like ayahuasca. He detailed a 10-day program he does in the jungle that involves a cleansing diet and various visionary plants. "Your perception gets more refined. It gets very clear. You start having telepathic experiences. And you really feel like you become a part of the jungle," he said of the experience. Highlighting the importance of altering one's perception to gain new perspectives and understandings, he noted that insights from ayahuasca can be similar to what is gleaned from some types of therapy.You discover who you are by going into your shadow and integrating those parts of yourself that you have denied, he remarked, adding that every time you bring these parts back to yourself, you're bringing in the energy that you've had to use to keep various traumas in place, and as a result of this, energy becomes more available to you and your awareness expands. The center of the universe is located between one's eyes, he declared, and this represents the shift from personality-centered to essence-centered awareness. Pallamary also talked about his fiction writing process and how the art of storytelling is a form of magic-- the word 'spelling' actually comes from the notion of casting a spell, he pointed out.

Prior to the publishing of The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge in 1968, the role of the traditional tribal Shaman was little understood beyond the realm of anthropological research & schools of mysticism.  The present integration of Shamanistic concepts within the lexicon of personal growth & alternative healing modalities would most likely not have reached its present momentum in the absence of these iconic teachings of Juan Matus to Carlos Castaneda, his often clueless protege. "We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same." Although the authenticity of Castaneda's twelve book series has at times suffered academic scrutiny, the wisdom and applicable practices shared through this seminal work has left an undeniable and lasting impact on the mindscape of western culture.   Today's episode follows the shamanic footsteps of Juan Matus with special guest Joel Schafer, a life long student of medicine men and women, healers, seers and practitioners of the shamanic dreaming arts. Joel was trained in many aspects of intent over the course of his apprenticeships, which he now shares as a perceptual guide for individuals seeking greater clarity, the strengthening of will, and reclaiming personal sovereignty.  "All paths are the same, leading nowhere. Therefore, pick a path with heart!" This powerfully liberating process assists in the rediscovery of our innate intuitive nature, making it possible for untapped resources within our being to be accessed and utilized.  The gratitude that comes from this type of discovery process has the power to transform our entire perspective and strengthen our relationship to source, so that we can be personally guided, directly, deeper into our abstract purpose.

While the notion of extraterrestrial life has long captivated the public imagination, certain expectations regarding how such life might interact with us have also proven problematic. Primarily that's because, being the stubborn species we are, when data doesn't conform to our expectations, we tend to either ignore it, explain it away, or assume it has been gathered incorrectly, or is even the result of fraudulent reporting. This issue has been paramount in the matter of the modern UFO Phenomenon, because many elements of the reports that have arisen from eye-witness testimony contain elements that stretch our expectations - often to the breaking point and beyond. A term that has been put forward to explain the various elements that stretch our expectations of how sophisticated non-terrestrial intelligence would interact with us – even to the point of defying rational understanding altogether – is “high strangeness”. Here we see crossover into another domain, that of general paranormality. Now while we modern Westerners would like to keep these bodies of data completely separate – after all, why would extraterrestrials act in ways that are reminiscent of apparitions and poltergeist phenomena, or so the conventional thinking goes -- the reality is that these two kinds of data seem to regularly co-arise in people's experience. And that being the case, it would be unwise to let our pre-existing biases prevent us from seeing linkages that clearly exist in the raw data itself. Speaking of crossover between domains that tend to be kept distinct in our modern notions of how reality works, we also see startling parallels between the UFO Phenomenon and humanity's most ancient expressions of religion – collectively referred to as “Shamanism”. The most glaring similarities arise in the experience of reality people report in both Shamanistic journeys, and encounters with supposed “aliens” during contact experiences reported as part of the modern UFO Phenomenon. In both cases people report experiencing the encounter in a seemingly alternate realm or non-ordinary state of consciousness. The question then emerges, pertaining to the UFO Phenomenon, if these really are “space aliens” – that is, physical beings arising from some distant star system – then why would the encounters involve so much overlap with the visionquest encounters reported in Shamanism? While one can certainly attempt to explain away these parallels in the bodies of data, a more open-minded, objective, and sincere perspective might very well land on the notion that these clues are telling us something fundamental about the nature of reality itself; something that seems to inevitably lead towards a reframing of what it means to be a sentient life form living in a supposedly “physical” universe, as defined under the dictates of scientific materialism. But what precisely is the nature of the overlap between domains/topics such as Shamanism and experiences that fall within the modern UFO Phenomenon, and where might the implications of these alignments lead us? These are the mind-stretching and paradigm-collapsing matters we'll seek to delve more deeply into, in this, the 96th episode of the Point of Convergence podcast.

In the last segment of UnMind, we touched on the typically fraught turning points in normal life of changing jobs, going through divorce, and becoming empty-nesters when and if the kids finally move out. And if they don't move back in again. They say you should write what you know, so I am living up to that dictum. In this installment we will touch on the traditional “marks” of dukkha: sickness, aging and death, and then turn to the subject of turning points in zazen itself. It is important that as we experience these pivot points in our practice, that we resist the temptation to interpret them negatively, as evidence of failure, and that we persist through thick and thin, assuming and accepting that we are no more in control of the progress of our meditation than we are in control of the pilgrim's progress of our lives. Zen, and zazen, work on subtle and subliminal levels, beyond our control. We should take the advice of the third patriarch in China, and “trust in Mind.” In closing the last passage, we mentioned that the various time-of-life changes that we all go through, if we live long enough, are generally exploited in the service of selling ever-more narrow-niche categories of products and services, including ever-increasing scams inflicted on the unwary. Sickness & DrugsIf you still watch the news on television, you belong to an ever-shrinking segment of the population, and can see this process in extreme. Commercials hawking every kind of cure for every imaginable disorder of body and mind, some truly unimaginable. The firehose of drugs coming out of Big Pharma's pipeline is overwhelming, ostensibly to treat an ever-expanding cascade of illnesses of the aged and infirm, who are typically shown in highly affluent situations, joyfully engaging in cool, strenuous activities in luxurious settings. Each new wonder drug comes with an endless list of side-effects that make the cure sound worse than the illness. It leaves me wondering what they are going to do, when they finally run out of names for the next generation of cure-alls. Expect to see companion drugs designed to treat the endless litany of side-effects. According to a Zen student who works in the industry, and who just happens to be a PhD neuroscientist, most of the new drugs are actually old drugs, in which a single atom of the molecule may have been tweaked, yielding the minimum legal requirement for calling it new. So much for claims of return on investment for multi-million dollar research. Aging & DeathSpeaking of aging, most of the turning-points that we associate with time-of-life — and other transitions in the normal process of “living la vida loca” — are basically attributable to aging. If we did not age, many of these passages would be impossible. Or at least, more of a choice on our part. Death may be the penultimate turning-point in aging. That's right, not the ultimate, but next to it. There is yet another, final turning point, even after death. It is called rebirth. Or its earlier version, reincarnation. In any case, something comes after death. As with divorce, it is tempting to say that if you are against death, don't get born in the first place. Birth is, after all, the leading cause of death. Birth is, we might say, an indeterminate turning-point. What comes after birth depends upon you. In one of the most startling developments regarding cultural coping strategies for these turning-points, I recently came across a news article entitled “Putting the fun in funerals.” I am not making this up. Because you can't make this stuff up. In his teaching titled Genjokoan, which translates something like, “actualizing the fundamental point,” and which seems to touch on nearly everything in life, Master Dogen weighs in on the nature of birth and death, in the process refuting reincarnation: Just as firewood does not return to firewood after it is ash you do not return to birth after deathThis being so, it is an established way in buddha-dharma to deny that birth turns into deathAccordingly birth is understood as no-birthIt is an unshakeable teaching in Buddha's discourse that death does not turn into birthAccordingly death is understood as no-deathBirth is an expression complete this momentDeath is an expression complete this moment Then, with his usual default to concrete examples from the world of Nature: They are like winter and spring You do not call winter the beginning of springNor summer the end of spring Thank you Dogen, for clearing that up. I don't pretend to understand this fully, but then Master Dogen himself does not claim to understand it. He merely lays it out as it is, take it or leave it. Interesting to contemplate that birth does not turn into death: Hallelujah! But wait a minute; death also does not turn into birth. What does that do to our aforementioned concept of rebirth? As usual for vintage Dogen, after he bludgeons us with an uncomfortable truth, he turns to Nature to soften the blow. Some of us, however, would petulantly argue that winter is, indeed, the beginning of spring, and summer its end. The monkey mind is stubborn in all seasons. I find it a particularly compelling expression of Dogen's understanding that he refers to both birth and death as “an expression complete this moment.” It begs the question, “An expression of what?” An expression of lifewould seem the logical answer, but Master Dogen's worldview does not depend upon simple logic. Turning Points in Zen MeditationSpeaking of Dogen, we owe him — big-time — for the point when each of us turned to Zen. If he had not made zazen his cause célébre, we would probably still be smudging ourselves with smoke, engaging in Shamanistic shenanigans, hoping for some kind of revelation. The turning points in zazen are too many to catalog. The Ox-herding Pictures touch on eight or ten of the main ones. I want to mention just a couple that come up frequently. I recognize that you, like me, are not 100% responsible for your short attention span, or your attenuated threshold of patience. Especially if you are in the midst of a turning-point of your own, at the moment. First is comfort-level. To those of you struggling with a critical turning-point in your life — or just the aches and pains, not to mention anxiety, confusion, and generalized angst that can sometimes accompany zazen, and not only at the beginning — it may be cold comfort, but zazen is supposed to be the “comfortable way.” I think the most reasonable rationale for this assertion is that any and every other way of meditation you may take up is at least as uncomfortable, in the long run, at least. It has been my experience, and is my testimony, that there is a turning-point in zazen that comes about, when the posture does actually become comfortable. I can also assure you that it becomes comfortable not only in the physical sense, but that the nattering nabob of the monkey mind finally wears itself out, like a kitten or a puppy dog, and lies down to take a nap. Mental and emotional comfort ensue. Of course, your results may vary, especially with any significant change in your circumstances. That pesky turning-point, again. Eventually, you may even become socially comfortable with zazen. That is, even though your spouse and other family members may not practice Zen, or even bother to understand it; and even though your in-laws insist on making a wedge issue of your devotion to Zen, this is okay with you. You no longer feel the need to explain, let alone to apologize, for doing zazen. Of course, this turning-point may precipitate a turning-point in your relations to the others mentioned. But you may find that you are comfortable with that, too. Another is the plateau effect. After practicing for some time, even over many years, it may begin to dawn on you that it seems that nothing is happening in your meditation any more. Curiouser and curiouser, interesting things that used to pop up from time to time — in the form of creative ideas; resolution of a nagging problem; or cool sensation, vision, or hearing experiences — just aren't happening. It seems clear that Zen isn't working, or else you are not doing it right. You have flat-lined, plateaued. Interestingly enough, Matsuoka Roshi mentioned this, and introduced me to a new Japanese word: cho-da. He said it means a “fall up.” You go along for some time, practicing your little heart out, but are getting nowhere. Nothing seems to be happening. Then, one day, if only you do not give up, you go through a cho-da. You fall up! It may be a small cho-da; it may be a large cho-da. But, you fall up — to the next plateau. A plateau is, by definition, flat. So, once again, just when you thought it was getting good, nothing happening. The good news is you never go back. The bad news is that the plateaus just keep coming. No one knows how many there are. Traditionally, there are said to be three major barriers in Zen. The first is physical, getting beyond your comfort zone to true comfort. The second is said to be sleep. Once you are cozy and comfortable in zazen, naturally, sleep would raise its ugly head. I have not heard what the third barrier is, but I suspect that it would involve some kind of plateau. Perhaps it is simply self-doubt. Matsuoka Roshi pointed out that by far the greatest cohort of Westerners who engage in Zen meditation are those who give up too soon. So if you see yourself in any of these pictures, welcome to the club. If you are uncomfortable in zazen, welcome to that club. If you are plateauing, welcome to the flatliners club. Zen is the most exclusive club in the world. But it is all-inclusive. The only dues it demands of you is everything you have. But the payback is huge. What else can you do that will give you your whole life back? as Matsuoka-Roshi would often ask.

Dr. Li Min is a professor of prehistoric and Bronze Age Chinese archaeology at UCLA, who focuses on state formation, social memory, and story telling. He is also a key player in the excavation of Shimao, a site on the Yellow River in Northwest China that displays iconography from four thousand years ago that looks strikingly Mesoamerican. We discuss the context in which Shimao rose to become a major regional power, the heady interaction sphere between the city and the shamanic Steppe and Altai cultures that surrounded it, the persistence of imagery unchanged across thousands of years, and much more.

Shamanism … there's a lot of confusion as to what it entails. Is it a belief in unseen beings, some good and others evil? Does it truly involve dealing with spirits or is it just spiritual energies? Can anyone practice Shamanism, or do you have to be from a certain race or nationality to get the full impact?

Episode Overview:  This 51st episode of the Girlfriends With(out) Benefits goes behind the scenes into the spiritually whole program we lead with other healing partners. Shamanistic healing takes preparation and integration before, during, and after, for both client and healer, making these ceremonies and sessions rather intensive. To protect the identity of the client we worked with, we'll call him John Doe, but otherwise we open up to share the ins and outs of the work that we do in the spiritual realm. John was seeking healing and open to the work, so it wasn't always pretty and pleasant. This is where it becomes a magical, symbiotic relationship between healers and clients.Listen in to the journey of healing from the healer's side of things and let us know what stood out for you! Did anything surprise you? Links:Interested in working with us yourself?Girlfriends with(out) Benefits YouTube ChannelQuotable Moments:“I'm gonna damn it to hell with its proper name!” - Cass“She's in her woo state but she's still gonna be dropping some F bombs” - Kaylin“Jade said it was the most ayahuasca mushroom ceremony that she has ever done in her life” - Cass“I feel like that was a really important part of the journey is that we went with him” - Jade“He didn't want to believe what he knew was happening” - Jade“He was like ‘absolutely not, that smell is making me sick.'

Watch the YouTube version: https://youtu.be/1nf7iXOiWj8 In this episode, I take you through a set of shamanic psycho-technologies that I learned during my time with The Shaman. This is from a left-brained perspective so I hope you enjoy this decontextualized Western exploration of this ancient tech. In my opinion, meeting with a metaphysical guide is a staple in understanding and releasing blocks and making friends with your shadows. Thanks for listening! Jess I'm on Youtube!

On Episode 54 of Finding Your Way Through Therapy and Episode 4 on You Tube, we talk to Pat Rice, a returning guest from the previous 3 seasons. Pat discusses shamanistic rituals and how they all relate to our lives and how it can embody our mind-body-spirit connection. Pat also discusses his friend Kerry who had three near-death experiences and how guides can show up in your life and the fact that we have to be open to these ideas in order to be able to look for that sign and information. Pat also discusses Reiki again and how it has relieved many of the stressors in his life. Pat can be found on Instagram hereKerry Keagan's book can be found at this link

Please join Bryan Rawls and me as we talk about The Pleiadian Line Up and so much more, as well as live Q&A and processes. On this call Bryan joins us to discuss: - The Pleiadian Line Up  - Integration of Pleiades Light Codes Activation - What is coming up for humanity in the next half of the year?  - What happening in our Body Systems? Since Bryan was a young child about the age of 7, he has been able to see beyond the veil into the world of spirit. From the time he started school he knew he was different and felt that he did not belong on this plane of existence. About the age of 13, he realized that he could also feel people's moods (happy, sad, etc.) One day a friend asked him, “Who are you talking to?” and he replied “My Indian friend." That is when he realized exactly how different he really was, and that no one else could hear or see his “invisible” friends. He finally decided to speak with his idols. His grandmother and aunt explained to him his family heritage; a lineage dating back to the 1400's and helped him to understand his place in the plan of “ALL THAT IS”.  He is the first male in his family to have this blessing and that his mission in this life is to make a difference in the world. With great patience they began to teach him more about honing the abilities that his bloodline and his guides have bestowed upon him. These include clairvoyance (the ability to see), clairaudience (the ability to hear), clairsentience (the ability to feel), claircognizance (the ability to know), telepathy (the ability to send and receive messages with-in the mind), and as well as being a Shamanistic healer. He began reading tarot cards and angel cards for family and friends with great accuracy. His family encouraged him, but his friends thought he was weird and strange. By Middle School he had become a misfit, having trouble with the teachers for talking in class to people only he could see. When he left school in 8th grade and began home schooling, things got easier. He had split his day between schoolwork and spiritual studies. At 17, he got his first job as an Intuitive Medium on Circle of Stars, at the same time, going to school to get his Certified Nursing Assistant. At 18, he became a CNA, using his healing hands as part of his work, but it became too much, so he listened to the call to work full time for Spirit. Bryan has worked as an Intuitive Medium on high-volume hotlines such as KEEN, Psychic Live, Psychic Source, and Hollywood Psychics through which he has undergone a battery of tests. From 2006 to 2010 he studied Reiki, becoming a Reiki Master in 2010. He can channel many energies to help you with your questions, from spirit guides, angels, archangels, faeries, elementals, gods, goddesses, celestial beings, and other galactic energies. He devotes himself to helping people find purpose in their life, provide guidance, as well as provide closure and comfort to those who have had souls dear to them pass beyond the veil, without the opportunity to say goodbye.

What is Plant Spirit Medicine? Join speaker Diana Sproul as she describes plant spirit medicine as explained in Eliot Cowan's book of the same name. Plants, trees, rain, lightning and the Chinese elements (like water, metal, earth) are each represented by a consciousness. These may appear through meditation or dreaming in human, animal, insect or other form. Healing an imbalance or lack of a certain element in a person's spiritual make-up and life can help a person become well and whole again without addressing the illness itself. The book is highly recommended. The author says that is ordinary, and that all of us can learn to do what he does.

Marilu Shinn has held a private practice as  a Shamanic Practitioner since 2012  Her formal training includes the Four Winds Society  as well as an ongoing apprenticeship with the Nusta Medicine Women of Peru.  Her own healing journey and reclamation of her Ancestral Wisdom brought her to embody the Ancient Wisdom Traditions of Peru and  to share the Medicine and Beauty of this Lineage as a path towards Empowerment and Embodied living.  Her mission and passion are to reconnect Women with their Authentic Selves; to awaken their somatic awareness through Shamanistic practices and to reconnect them with their innate Sacred Womb Wisdom as the foundations for leading fulfilling, whole lives.  Marilu holds international retreats and Earth Based Ceremonies  in the Santa Cruz mountains and anywhere where Medicine is needed. She works privately with both men and women.  In This Episode:  Marilu defines decolonization as a process of remembrance and reclaiming our knowledge and wisdom from the lands our ancestors came from.  Reclamation as a way of healing. Purging the ways in which we were conditioned by Whiteness. Integrate and call back which belongs to our ancestors. Is there ever an appropriate time for White and White passing people to practice indigenous ways? Marilu's views on calling out on social media. Is the responsibility on BIPOC to call-in, out, forward? Spirituality and social justice go hand in hand. True spirituality is acknowledging shadow aspects. Reparations includes speaking up and giving back. The sacred medicines lose their groundedness and power through non-indigenous practitioners. Grandmother ayahuasca has a symbiotic relationship with indigenous people. The work that BIPOC have to do which includes speaking our truth and reclaiming our abundance. The work that White-bodied people have to do. Marilu explains why the New Earth is not the new age. Decolonizing starts with what you put your energy towards, how are you colluding? Why 5D living is bypassing.  FULL SHOW NOTES Mujer Medicine Instagram Kawak Energy Medicine Website Laura Chung Instagram Brittany Simone Anderson Instagram The Werk Podcast Instagram Awaken and Align Instagram Awaken and Align Website YouTube Channel Connect with Awaken and Align & The Werk: If you enjoyed the podcast and you feel called, please share it and tag us!

There you are, staring into their eyes as they convey words that you never thought you would ever have to hear let alone feel; and in that moment you wonder whether your dreaming or whether gravity pulled the eject button on your heart as you see the fragments of it floating away in all directions as he/she leaves the room, and your life forever.  What do you do when your heart breaks into a million pieces? Where do these pieces go; And where do we even begin to find them?  In the moment of a break up we become so consumed by what ifs that we don't even realize how much of ourselves we leave in these moments of despair.  One part of you is left in the bed where you used to make love, another part of you is left in the memory you have of the first time you kissed.  Its surreal how loving memories that once made you feel loved, can quickly transform you into a living embodiment of the ten of swords in the tarot; and just like that, you have hundreds of pieces of  your soul thrown around and lost in different memories of your past.  This is just one example of how we leave certain aspects of our soul in traumatic experiences. Whether it's the death of a loved one, emotional/physical abuse or an experience of physical pain during a car accident; we've all experienced what it's like to lose a part of ourselves in something or someone else.  When we leave certain aspects of our spirit in these memories we can often feel fragmented, lost and afraid of living the life we deserve to live.  This episode is about what we can do to retrieve these pieces of ourselves, so that we can live the life we truly deserve. Soul Retrieval in an ancient Shamanistic practice stretching over 40,000 years and practiced all over the world.  In this episode we discuss the dynamics of Shamanism and the powerful and sacred practice of Soul Retrieval.   In this episode we discuss,   What is soul loss How we experience soul loss in life What is soul retrieval Is soul loss meant to protect us To shaman or not to shaman Methods of soul retrieval Feeling vs resistance to trauma Tribalism and community Shamans &  sound healing Watch Divine Nobodies Episode on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8G1nWWLugE Divine Nobodies Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/divine.nobo...

Sylvie Fraley is in her junior year at the University of California, Berkeley. She is pursuing a degree in Molecular Environmental Biology and plans to attend medical school. Sylvie is well-spoken, no topics of conversation are off the table, and finds guilty pleasure in playing the devil's advocate so that one has to really dig deep to defend their convictions. She recently relocated to Hawaii for a semester of distance learning. Meeting new people & exploring new environments is a fundamental part of how she lives her life. Check her out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sylviefraley/***TIMESTAMPS***3:20 - Graham Hancock and ancient civilizations; Shamanistic debate and usage of psychedelics (medicinal vs spiritual) 23:00 - Religion; how it originated and the purpose to cope with what comes after death; social value it has in society33:00 - Thomas Kuhn and the idea of the paradigm shift; the role this has in understanding technological advancements and science39:28 - Alcohol; understanding why people drink alcohol is it for the taste or for the experience 52:48 - Coffee and Adderrall; understanding the utility of coffee and the social implications it has towards productiveness as well as its effect 60:48 - Only fans, porn, prostitution, and SEX our thoughts; this conversation dives into what is the point of sex the sacredness of this experience, and the issues surrounding the ultimate goal versus enjoying the journey  1:30:40 - Aliens; the speculation in regards to the advanced technology and the sightings from Naval pilots, citizens, and breaking down the government's records 1:54:00 - Trusting the government and discussion on the media; issues with the left and the right and what people need to do in order for the country to become less polarized; my BIG ISSUE with Santa Cruz and California in general2:11:00 - Questioning extreme opinions in an empathetic and fragile way; the importance of approaching these charged conversations and fully understanding the other opinion rather than attacking them~YouTube EPISODES & CLIPS:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyLKzv5fKxGmVQg3cMJJzyQ/videoshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2mktRli1yyQ1mBNB_7PXg~Song provided by: Ooyy, Come 2gether

Who is Jesus? What was he like? What is he like today (assuming we can have a relationship with him)? I'll discuss Christian, New Thought, Buddhist, and Shamanistic views of Jesus (at least my understanding of those traditions) and discuss how I relate to Jesus and why I think it's not all that important as to how you define him (Him?).

Cédric Lebigre, an NLP practitioner, hypnotist, and musician living and working in France, scores his truth bombs with beats. If you're binaural beat curious, fascinated by music and science, or want to cultivate a better understanding of what Shamanism is (and isn't), welcome to a conversation with its own soundtrack. I've been listening to Cédric's work via Insight Timer for a while now. There's a science as to why this “brainwave entertainment” makes my mind happy: it's feel-good music, elevated. He employs specific structures in his compositions, creating patterns that allow listeners to settle in deep enough that they experience a trance-like state (been there!). Binaural beats are potent allies in reducing gamma waves (faster) and increasing alpha waves (slower), but you don't have to geek out on the science behind the sounds to benefit. Some of Cédric's music has a Shamanistic quality (think rhythmic drumming) thanks to his training in that sacred space. He's quick to rebuff anyone who burdens him with that title, or that of a healer. The language and cultural differences of being French add an interesting dimension to the healer/wounded healer questions. No spoilers! Instead, I'll say that, ultimately, we heal ourselves; It's not about what is done to us. That's a significant shift within me lately, recognizing that nothing outside of me will do the work; I have to do it internally. Of course, a binaural beat soundtrack helps make lighter work of all that healing. EXCLUSIVE OFFER Like what you hear? CWH listeners get 30% off the purchase of Cedric's music on Bandcamp with code headheart2021. GUEST CONTACT BIO Cédric Lebigre is an NLP practitioner, hypnotist, and founder of Alpha8Origin. Initially trained as an engineer, Cédric has been working for 10 years in different companies before an unexpected encounter with an urban shaman. After this life-changing episode he developed a passion for consciousness' explorations and words' magic. Fascinated by sounds since childhood he decided to merge these practices by creating mind-altering music, specifically designed to enhance meditative experiences and assist human beings in their own evolution.

We are art galleries, filled with paintings that are our expression as life, a life that comes alive by making choices. I'm joined for this episode by Tatyana Rae, a true Lover of Life. Tatyana, a public speaker, and spiritual teacher bring a unique offering to her clients, by using her traditional Shamanistic guidance provided by her Apache Great Grandmother and Father. We discuss freedom, love and so much more in this episode, so join us as Tatyana explains how she helps us understand our choices, work through the lies we tell ourselves to serve the pattern of our behavior, and how to share the beauty of observing these lies without judgment.

The Naked Dialogue Podcast w/ The Phaneron EP#17: Dr. Rick Strassman | The Existential & Anthropological (Prophetic & Shamanistic) Implications of DMT-Use | w/ Sanjana Singh & Abraham Munoz Bravo Sanjana Singh (The Host): https://itsa2amgrunge.com/ Abraham Munoz Bravo: https://www.abrahammunozbravo.com/ The Phaneron: https://anchor.fm/thephaneron | https://open.spotify.com/show/088mJcjUvWnCw842DbP3IQ Dr. Rick Strassman: https://www.rickstrassman.com/ Rick Strassman is an American clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. He has held a fellowship in clinical psychopharmacology research at the University of California San Diego and was a Professor of Psychiatry for eleven years at the University of New Mexico. After 20 years of intermission, Strassman was the first person in the United States to undertake human research with psychedelic, hallucinogenic, or entheogenic substances with his research on N, N-dimethyltryptamine, also known as DMT. He is also the author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule, which summarizes his academic research into DMT and other experimental studies of it and includes his own reflections and conclusions based on this research. As a result of his research, Strassman came to call DMT the "spirit molecule" because its effects include many features of religious experience, such as visions, voices, disembodied consciousness, powerful emotions, novel insights, and feelings of overwhelming significance. During the project's five years, he administered approximately 400 doses of DMT to nearly 60 human volunteers. Strassman was the first to administer legally psychedelics to people in the United States in 20 years, and his research has widely been regarded as kicking off the "psychedelic renaissance", in which many psychedelic compounds have begun to be scientifically studied for the first time since the early 1970s. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sanjanasinghx/support

“Aloha refers to the divine spirit of love that flows through all things.” When I read those words, I was reminded of a truth I learned years ago—the most important spiritual concepts are common across all religions and belief systems around the world. Our practices are different and many of the ways that we implement the concepts are different, but the core beliefs are the same. The excitement is in the differences because each culture brings their unique awareness, expression, and gifts. What a wonderful time we live in where we can honor and respect what we share and then benefit from the different healing approaches that have evolved in cultures around the world. My guests have combined Hawaiian philosophy with medicine ways and many healing techniques including bodywork, breathwork, prayer, ho'oponopono and more. All of this is designed to cultivate the Aloha Spirit. Please join us Thursday to learn about and experience Hawaiian Shamanistic Healing.
