Practical Shamanism
In this episode of Practical Shamanism, I dive into what might get in the way of fully living your soul purpose. Inspired by Julia Cameron's playful take on artistic blocks and insights from one of my own teachers, I explore some of the reasons we might feel disconnected from our path.

086- The Stories We Tell: Reclaiming Your Future from Toxic Narratives
Practical Shamanism
In this podcast, I challenge a popular meme that suggests we should be grateful for the present because in 20 years, we'll wish we could return to where we are now. I strongly disagree with this notion. Those who listen to this type of podcast are actively investing in a future where they have greater physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Modern culture bombards us with toxic ideas that chip away at our peace and happiness. Learning to "weed the garden of your mind" is an essential skill, and the belief that everything will worsen with time is one of the most damaging weeds to pull....

info_outlineLearn about the Solar Plexus Chakra and how to use it to support an effective and elegant life experience. When our solar plexus is in balance, we get the most out of our cognitive ability. We're capable of flexible thinking and resourcefulness. We activate self-trust and our ability to take in information and make good decisions for ourselves.
A healthy, balanced solar plexus allows us to move through the world with magnificent clarity about what works for us and what doesn't. We can use discernment rather than judgment. This positions us to find win/win situations with other people instead of being trapped in power struggles and right/wrong thinking. Balancing the solar plexus is the antidote to endless rumination and shame. This wonderful chakra holds a key to self-knowledge and offers a foundation of self-esteem!
