Practical Shamanism

Healthy lifestyle changes can become a complicated and loaded topic. The amount of information can be overwhelming and it's easy to feel like what we're doing is never enough. In this episode I explore some new perspectives that may help you set your compass for an aligned lifestyle without shame or self-doubt. I find that when we take care of our physical experience, our spiritual experience is profoundly enhanced. Having an elegant approach to self-care frees us for the fullest possible experience.

If you're hurt and angered by unsolicited criticism, you come by it honestly through human biology. It activates our instincts. In the modern world, we navigate so many intrusive opinions about how we live our lives coming from people who aren't stakeholders in how we do life.

Having a well-thought-out personal policy about who is and isn't invited to give advice, feedback, reflection, or criticism is useful in being able to navigate these situations effectively. Then we can fast track soothing our instincts and coming back to center, rather than ruminating on triggered, distorted reflections from unqualified sources. In our important relationships, it is vital to understand how we impact the other person directly, but we can still have boundaries about what opinions beyond their direct experience are invited.

When we raise our vibration (or make our energy brighter), we move through the world more easily. It improves our direct, in the moment experience as well as helping to manifest things that support us and deflect things that do not. There are many things we can do to raise our vibration. Ideally, you want to create a personal list of things that have a high return on investment of results for energy expended. These things ideally will also be highly accessible on an average Tuesday and be things that you enjoy doing. I give a number of possible activities and experiences that might support this.

In addition, I have some potent energetic techniques to help you if you'd like to work with me.

When we're stressed, our minds often ruminate on the past and worry about the future. When it comes to the future, we tend to imagine that we'll have the same or less (money, support, health, etc.) to deal with hard things. Meditation and moving our bodies are great medicine for this. But, for me, I also cultivate the ability to facilitate my mind into shifting away from overthinking the future. Creating authentic faith in future me to deal with situations as they arise is something that I've found helpful. I share more about that in this episode.

People often end up limiting their emotional experience to a handful of flavors. These could be unpleasant ones that they default into and/or favorite ones that they chase. This approach disconnects us from a lot of the opportunity of the human experience and tends to promote some health challenges along the way.

In this podcast I share a bit about a client of mine who had a number of lifetimes experiencing a particular flavor of difficult emotions. The result was that all of the healing she sought out and her own excellent mindfulness practices tended not to move the dial nearly as much as they should have. I think of it like an old mattress where it takes effort not to roll into the low spot, costing freedom of movement and access to the rest of the bed.

In this podcast, I hope to help you tune into your default emotions and expand the range of your life experience.

Most of us receive little or no training in how to use our psychic and intuitive abilities to effectively support our lives. The default can be hypervigilance even when we're enjoying excellent safety. In this podcast, I talk about how to redirect your third eye to maintain appropriate situation awareness, while mostly scanning for possibilities and ways forward. This simple redirection will refocus our psychic abilities and help us to create the life we want.

Our best qualities can also, if left unsupervised and allowed to run amok, be the qualities that most damage our relationships. In this podcast I pull from some recent moments in my own life exploring Destined for Doom ways of relating that we may feel are actually likely to create success, no matter how much evidence we have experienced to the contrary. I explore unsolicited advice, contribution, and arguing with the other person's truth if you're not getting what you want in relationship. I hope this will help you to see relationship dynamics more clearly and have some language to express and understand what's going on, whichever side of a dynamic you land upon.

I'd like to offer some insight on navigating weight loss with self-compassion. The less struggle we can bring to lifestyle changes, the more sustainable they become. As it happens, I wrote up some really cool show notes when I first recorded this, but I'm in the Yellowstone area when this is due for release and my cloud drive didn't agree with me about making them available as I roam. So, I'll let the title and episode mostly speak for themselves.
