Episode #222 ~ On Embodiment, Trauma and Plants

The Medicine of Being Human | Plants, Stars & Everything In Between

What does it mean to be embodied? In this episode I talk about: - how being in a body allows us to heal dense trauma and karma in tangible ways - what it means to 'leave' when it gets tough - why grounding our energy is imperative to the human experience - why it's so hard and scary to be here - how we have been conditioned to leave our bodies, keep our energy UP and disconnected from the natural timing of the earth - how being ungrounded has resulted in anxiety, ADD, and other disorders prevalent in our society - how Ayahuasca opened up my lower energy centers, and helped me live a more embodied life - practices to ground your energy, clear energetic density and anchor into the core of the Earth - ancestral trauma and healing through our bodies - stopping the trauma cycle so we don't pass it on to our children - a common spiritual path that takes us up and out, and how we need to balance this with going down and in - how we are the ones here bridging between old and new paradigms - the shadows within the lower 3 chakras and the power that lies within them - our transition to a symbiotic, reciprocal relationship with the Earth - how plants are our guides, and wisdom keepers supporting us on this shared journey - how to foster a connection with plants and the Earth - how plants are more tapped in to the greater web of life, and what they have to teach us about embodiment.
