South African Shaman John Lockley returns to the Mindrolling podcast to share his experiences as a Sangoma in the Xhosa tradition and speak with Raghu about bringing indigenous wisdom into the modern world and opening the doors of our perception.
In this episode, Raghu speaks with John Lockley about:
Different methods for opening the doors of one’s own perception
How plant medicine is used in the Xhosa tradition
Shamanism as a path for exploring the ineffable experiences had through inner work and psychedelics
Working with dreams and the spirit realm
“The next part of the circle is going into the wilderness and seeing what needs to be done to stretch consciousness and help bring more healing. To maintain some mindfulness is extraordinarily important, which includes meditation and walking.” – John Lockley
