Michelle Johnson on Collective Grief, Merging Yoga and Social Justice, and Dismantling Racism with Breath [episode 104]

Earth Speak is helping you to be your own best connection to your intuition, spirit guides, Earth, and the divine. Episodes feature  conversations with people, plants, nature spirits, and high-vibration places on Earth. For many episodes, we're giving EARTH the microphone with channeled messages from nature beings.  Human guests share their approaches to standing in their power, working with spirits, deepening their connection with nature, and shamelessly embodying their true selves. Topics covered include deconditioning your mind, working with ancestors and nature spirits, folk herbalism, plant-spirit medicine, true self-care, shadow integration, what it means to be a modern witch, conscious co-creation, (wo)manifestation, intuitive business practices, and more.

She guides her community to rewrite their relationship to safety, love, trust, and belonging so they are able to cultivate conscious relationships and manifest their Dao (purpose).  Kat believes that healing is a deep remembrance of who you are + recognizing that you are not broken. She believes that the Body, Mind, and Soul are interconnected and respond best to an integrated approach where all the parts of you are remembered. She believes in leaving room for magic. For slowing down to allow your intuition and Truth to rise to the surface. For finding validation through being rather than doing. For flowing through life being actively allowing rather than grasping. Kat’s role as coach and space-holder is to be your mirror and share tools and techniques that lead you back to the clarity of your own Heart and autonomy to make choices that are best for you, your body and your Spirit.    In this episode, we talk about:  Being a second-generation Korean-American woman On doing the things you are supposed to do, but feeling empty and burnt out The story of how Kat came to her work in the world Van life Embodying Daoist philosophy The ancient Daoist philosophers as the first somatic therapists How your Dao can help you remember who you were, before your wounding Breaking out of the should How our stories and conditions have kept us safe Why your wounding is so closely tied to your Dao On why you don’t need a guru Kat shares about working with yarrow and reading her I Ching Nature as our greatest teacher The five elements and how they relate to emotional cycles and seasons Why we need anger How Kat worked with the 5 elements to build an aligned business Setting boundaries in business to avoid burnout On finding the Dao within ourselves Why Kat is no longer aligned with the practice of acupuncture On looking at your body as the storyteller of your life How Kat chose to create her own curriculum in her journey to become a coach Blending Daoist theory with western science On symptom-based treatment within capitalism Shifting our signs and symptoms, by looking within  and prioritizing our Dao and our mandate On being ok with not having it all figured it all out On learning to survive in a world that doesn’t feel safe Love and light, and spiritual bypassing The duality of good and bad The limitations of talk therapy Kat shares about her upcoming workshop with Earth Speak And so much more!
