Another Way For Them

Summary

This week on the Wellness Matters podcast I had a very interesting conversation with Veronica Barragan. Veronica is a holistic therapist, wellness and spiritual counselor, and a certified KRI Kundalini Yoga teacher. She shares her personal journey of spiritual healing and transformation, starting with her introduction to A Course in Miracles during the 2008 real estate meltdown. She then delves into her experiences with psychedelic-assisted therapy in the Amazon jungle and the profound impact it had on her understanding of ancestral lineage and the mother wound. Veronica discussed how Kundalini Yoga became a catalyst for her healing and led her to leave the real estate industry to pursue a career in helping women disrupt generational karmic patterns. The conversation also explores the concepts of karma, epigenetics, and the importance of healing the inner child. She also discusses the power of Kundalini Yoga and meditation in healing trauma and restoring brain functionality. She explains that trauma can shrink the hippocampus, leading to constant stress and a feeling of danger. However, after eight weeks of practicing Kundalini Yoga and meditation, the cognitive function of the brain is restored and the hippocampus grows in size. Veronica emphasizes the importance of forgiveness in disrupting generational karmic patterns and shifting the perception of trauma. She also highlights the significance of authenticity and inner child work in finding one's purpose and experiencing joy.
