Today’s episode is with one of my dear friends, Noell Eanes—an Eastern Medicine practitioner, licensed acupuncturist, and wellness consultant in New Orleans, Louisiana. So much of our conversation today kept coming back to the theme of listening to our own inner guidance and intuition, which is something that Noell is incredibly skilled at, both in her own life and in her practice as a healer. Noell is a beautiful, intuitive human who exudes love in everything that she does. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did!

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT:

Noell’s long battle with an eating disorder and depression, her healing journey, the many tools she used to heal, and how it all led her to be the healer that she is today Plant medicine and connecting to the earth How Noell’s inner guidance led her to acupuncture Noell’s grandmother’s disease and use of pharmaceuticals, which led her question western medicine as a long-term solution The sudden death of Noell’s young boyfriend, which made her question her own beliefs about life and death, and showed her that we are energetic beings and not just “meat covered skeletons” Listening to your inner guidance and intuition (and how Noell’s guides are really freaking loud!) How working with our shadows helps to live more in our light, and how both are just different polarities of the same energy The different elements in 5 Element Acupuncture—earth, metal, water, wood, fire—and their shadow sides Carolyn Myss’ archetypes The shadow side of being a healer! How the stories we tell ourselves can manifest into physical ailments and how we all have the power to heal ourselves The importance of tuning in to ourselves and to the earth, especially in this modern age Plus much more…

QUOTES

“I practice acupuncture but I also have this bank of knowledge that I am there to share with people. That is my purpose in life.”

“Seeing my boyfriend’s dead body provided this inner knowing that energy is really what I was connecting to, and not just that meat-covered skeleton.”

“Each element has its manifestation in what we would look at as the most positive light; because it has that potential, it also has the potential for the shadow side.”

“If we don’t understand that we have a shadow side, we are more likely to deny it and then live in it.”

“Seeing that shadow as something to work with instead of deny will also help you to express more of the quote-on-quote positive qualities.”

“The more you identify with an archetype or you put yourself in a box and define yourself as one way, it becomes hard to acknowledge that there is so much more.”

“Part of the thrill of healing is doing it yourself. Feeling partially responsible, because then you can rely on your own strength in the future.”

“Because I have experienced transformation, I have so much faith in other people and the possibility of human beings to transcend a situation or an aspect of darkness in themselves.”
