Mountain Mantras: Wellness and Life Lessons
They say that there is a planetary SHIFT going on. Sometimes that SHIFT feels like S*&T. Como? (what?) Homo? (what?) Did I say “Homo Lumininous” in this podcast? Yes I did. If you want to learn more about this shift, I enjoyed this video and would love to share it with you: Here are the mantras from today’s show: I also mention “the Giving Tree” conundrum, and i invite you to listen to that episode, and check out the show notes here. Thank you for listening!

info_outline Midwest Mantras 131 - What is Love? Don’t Hurt Me (or Shakira) No MoreMountain Mantras: Wellness and Life Lessons
I had no idea that I’d break into tears during this podcast, but I did. The topic is love, after all. And my heart is broken BIG TIME. I am reviewing these notes on the morning of surgery to fix a deviated septum from middle school when my nose was severely broken. My mom had looked at me with my Marsha-Brady-episode-where-her-nose-blew-up-to-3x-times-the-size-and-black-and-blue-eyes (that rhymes) and said, “You’re fine.” So today, I don’t breathe as well as would be optimal. I believe this is part of my loss of health story. I’m finally getting it fixed....

I woke up this morning “on the wrong side of the bed.” (It’s likely the divorce I’m going through). Sometimes I turn to music to help me process the emotions I’m feeling. The word “emotion” comes from “emote,” which is about being in motion. I believe that feelings are meant to be felt, to be processed, which creates movement and allows them to move in and through our system. What I want to avoid is getting feelings stuck. Or repressing what is meant to be felt. Since I’m on an inner journey to uncover repressed emotions and better understand myself,...

I’ve been on the move a lot. I've counted up all the times that I've moved in the past six months and I moved 14 TIMES! How crazy is that? Anyway, I just did this incredible exercise with my coach, Jessica. And she helped me to identify my values. And I would not have guessed what they were. My number one was purpose. I'm always the person that asks why. My second is opportunity and third is recognition. Here are the mantras: Nothing is as constant as change. My questions for you are: Do you think that time is speeding up change? ...

Why have I been so grumpy?Why the under eye bags? What is this about imposter syndrome?I’ve been crying. And dealing with some health challenges. Health challenges always suck, but they are especially hard when you’re supposed to be some kind of “wellness expert”. In this solo cast “short”, I’m going to be brave, and I hope that by listening/watching this episode, you too can be inspired to be a little more brave.These days I’m not just crying about my health issues. I’ve got some broken plates I’m dealing with (LINK TO EP 124) as well as coming to terms with my tree stump...

After being MIA for over 6 months, I’ve decided to release several episodes in succession. Who is Kat “TK*”? I am playing around with the concept that I’m a cat, given that I recently had an NDE (Near Death Experience). I’ve had several NDEs before, and I’m starting to treat life like maybe this is the only one I’ve got left. A pretty basic concept, eh? LIFE YOUR LIFE. (What would you add?) Here are some ideas: Life Your Life. Like it’s your one and only. Life Your Life. Like no one’s watching. Life Your Life. To honor the one and only beautiful You....
info_outlineThank you everyone for your questions about plant medicine.
I enjoyed your emails, texts, and even those questions that I got while coming and going from yoga class. :)
To help us explore these questions together, I’ve brought some amazing guests together for a podcast series about healing through plant medicine.
Today’s guest is my dear friend Sam Liebowitz. Sam was a guest previously on my other podcast, Positive on Publishing (LINK TO HIS EP).
Sam returns to discuss his work in energy medicine and other healing modalities. Sam reveals his many projects as a multifaceted human on a mission to help others. Listen carefully for a discussion of Sam’s beta program around integration and healing in community.
Our discussion unveils 9 powerful mantras; enjoy the interview!
Mantra #1: Learning about healing can unveil the Healer underneath.
Mantra #2: You can heal and be healed in many ways/ many modalities.
Mantra #3: The Healer and the Healee co-create the healing (with the Healee, not the Healer, truly driving the process)
Mantra #4: Facilitation is not fixing.
Mantra #5: Facilitation is about holding space and creating safety for healing.
Mantra #6: Facilitation is about seeing people as already whole without expectations
Mantra #7: Preparation is key
Mantra #8: Less can be more (going slow can be the fastest way)
Mantra #9: Follow-up (integration) is crucial.
Sam mentions four key elements: rest, whole foods, hydration, and movement; a fifth would be spending time in nature.
Please listen carefully to Sam discuss the need for caution and discernment when thinking about plant medicines.
The Medicine Wheel
Sam described the medicine wheel as containing the four elements of heart, mind, body, and spirit.
In balance, they are:
Heart (water): self-love and connection to others
Mind (fire): analytics and planning
Body (earth): feeling grounded and safe in one's body
Spirit (air): feeling connected to something greater than one’s self
Heart (water): example- MDMA
Mind (fire): example- psilocybin
Body (earth): example- San Pedro
Spirit (air): example- ayahuasca
