On this episode of the Alchemi-Culture Podcast, join Phoenix and Liev Dalton in a discussion of topics including:

*As one focuses on holistic health, a helpful order to address things is: 1) Spirit, 2) Mind, and 3) Body.

*The psychological and spiritual aspects of health and wellness

*The differences between emotional toxicity and trauma. Emotional toxicity arises from improperly expressed emotions, causing energy flow issues. Trauma is an intense emotional perception often tied to identity, and is connected to fear of experiencing pain.

*Many emotional toxicities trace back to a single traumatic childhood event, and the healing process involves exploring significant memories to address emotional root causes.

*Birth trauma and its long-term effects

*How Hypnotherapy aids in recognizing and healing from core traumas

*Healing is a continuous process that involves embracing crises and developing personal resilience.

*Aligning with one's higher purpose is vital for personal and practitioner growth and spiritual development.

*The role connection with nature plays in enhancing feelings of spirituality and goodness

*Ethics in health cannot be solely based on what is natural due to human complexities.

*The limitations that empirical methods have in understanding psychological health

Growing up on a small island, Prince Edward Island, community and family were values ingrained in Liev from a young age. He had a natural curiosity to science and how our world functions. This led him to taking a science degree in biochemistry at Dalhousie University. After completing his undergrad in Biochemistry, he came to realize there was a greater force at play. The material theory of Biochemistry did not resonate with him, which led to Liev’s pursuit of looking deeper and seeking the truth. Through this exploration, the most profound idea he came across was that germs do not cause disease. This discovery completely changed how he looked at science and nature as a whole. Now when he thinks about health, he looks at it from a holistic lens. Currently Liev is pursuing his Masters of Counseling Psychology, where he plans to apply his revolutionary learning and address all problems at the root of the problem, starting with the Terrain. He believes in healing through the spirit, mind, and body, and in order to do so, we need to understand where our problems are stemming from.
