Ancient Wisdom Today

My heart exploded with expansion when I had the chance to connect with Mark Groves, the human connection specialist who empowers people with tools to reclaim the sacred relationship with themselves and those around them. We align in our belief that, to come together, we have to break apart what is and dismantle the structures that imprison us—particularly the roles, labels, and boxes that keep us playing small. Get prepared for some serious mic drop moments, as we consider how one can find a sense of belonging when we have been programmed to self-abandon, stigmatize, and segregate. Resources: Website: markgroves.com Instagram: @createthelove Podcast: Create the Love  Song by Oskar Lindskog: Embrace the Dark  Advertisers + Sponsors: Shaman School: www.theshamanschool.com Lit Verified Store: www.shamandurek.com/store Healing Temple: www.shamandurek.com/healing-temp Learn more about your ad choices.

Rodrigo Garcia Platas has facilitated so much change in systematic psychology with his multi-faceted approach to human identity and development. He is a pioneer of information, and I'm so excited for you to learn more about his practice – and yourself – today. After years as a transformation master coach, Rodrigo became versed in Unani BioTypes: An ancient method of identifying and categorizing the different types of humans. He began applying these principles to his work with great success, diagnosing people's personalities from facial expressions and body language alone. Today we deep-dive into each biotype's characteristics and explore how they help us construct meaning in our world. Resources: Workshops into biotypes: rgpdevelopment.com Instagram: @rgpdevelopment Soul talk meditation from thelife-code.com Advertisers + Sponsors: Shaman School: www.theshamanschool.com Lit Verified Store: www.shamandurek.com/store Healing Temple: www.shamandurek.com/healing-temp Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Caroline Leaf’s beautiful mind drops into the Lit-sphere today to talk about reconstructing the neural pathways of our brain to remedy what she defines as our “mental mess.”I love sharing with Dr. Leaf because she openly listens to shamanic principles, such as time travel, and grounds them in hard science. We delve deep into the mechanics of the brain/mind and the library of information we have stored in our non-conscious, which plays itself out in our everyday interactions.I strongly encourage you to take this mind-game to the next level by investing in her transformational book, “Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess: 5 Simple, Scientifically Proven Steps to Reduce Anxiety, Stress, and Toxic Thinking” Your mind (and heart!) will thank you for it.

Today I’m joined by Drew Canole, a man so connected to Mother Earth’s forces that he has dedicated his life to bringing people back to the natural world through what they consume. Drew is an example of how high-vibrational thinking, eating, and drinking can amplify every aspect of our material and emotional self. What I love about him is that he articulates from the place of a true creator, having weaponized his past trauma to birth the exact life he wanted to manifest. He’s a reminder to us all that the power to change our lives comes from nourishing what he calls the ‘eternal nowness.’Head to organifi.com to start nourishing your meat-suit, and use the code SHAMAN at checkout for 20% off your entire order. Resources: Website: www.organifi.com Instagram: @drewcanole Facebook: www.facebook.com/drew.canole Poem by @lizzshaktilarouge Share your gifts with me: info@shamandurek.com  Advertisers + Sponsors: Shaman School: www.theshamanschool.com Lit Verified Store: www.shamandurek.com/store Healing Temple: www.shamandurek.com/healing-temple Learn more about your ad choices.

Years ago, Adam Ian’s herbal concoctions enabled me to undertake a worldwide tour after a kidney transplant. Thanks to his wizardry, my body was super-charged (naturally) and I could spread the message of love far and wide. This guy is truly the salt of the earth, who seeks to serve through the healing magic of plants, biochemistry, and microbiology, which he has been studying for over twenty-seven years.
