Awakening Aphrodite

Have you ever read a book that immediately changed your life and touched your Soul?

My guest in this episode, Molly Larkin, and her co-author and mentor, Native American Shaman and Medicine Man, Bear Heart (Marcellus William) of the Muskogee Creek tribe, did just that.

I was so humbled and deeply grateful when Molly agreed to come on the show so she could share with you these profound wise teachings with the hopes that they will help you find more meaning, peace, purpose, connection and joy in your life - I know it did for me!

Molly has been a spiritual seeker since the age of seven, when she learned about the scientific understanding of the time that human beings only utilize 10% of their cognitive capacity. That moment sparked her intrigue into the vast possibilities of human potential and her desire to utilize the entirety of her brain's capacity in her life.

Molly has studied with various indigenous elders from around the world for over 30 years and was Bear Heart’s apprentice for 15 years, learning many of his medicine methods. She is a Sun Dancer, a Vision Faster and a Pipe Carrier. Molly has also studied with Lakota elders Wallace Black Elk and Maya Priest and Master Teacher Miguel Angel Vergara. She is an energy healing practitioner and works with an international clientele of people and animals, both in person and via long distance. She teaches healing classes in the U.S. for the largest healing organization in Europe: NFSH-The Healing Trust. Molly has taught personal growth and spirituality workshops in the U.S., Europe, and Australia (whew!). Molly also teaches classes in spiritual healing and is available for private consultations and readings online.

As I mentioned, most significantly, Molly co-authored, with Muskogee Creek elder Marcellus “Bear Heart” Williams, the international best-seller “The Wind Is My Mother; the Life and Teachings of a Native American Shaman” -- a book that touched my Soul. Find this fantastic book now at my eStore!

ENJOY!

78. Connecting With Nature: A Discussion on "Animal Speak: The Spiritual, Symbolic & Magical Powers of Creatures Great and Small" by Ted Andrews

Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite!

Do you have a pet? Do you love animals?

ME TOO!

In this episode, we explore the classic book, “Animal Speak: The Spiritual and Magical Powers of Creatures Great and Small” by Ted Andrews who was a pioneer and leading expert in helping us understand animals and nature as well as the metaphysical and spiritual fields of life at large. Although I never had the opportunity to actually meet Ted, I consider him to be a mentor of mine because his work has profoundly affected my life.

We explore modern technology’s interference with authentic connection and look to Ted’s 10 tips for regaining our lost gift of communication with wildlife, omens and the symbolism that emerges from our subconscious awareness:

  1. Experience nature firsthand.
  2. Examine the wildlife in your environment.
  3. Orient yourself in your landscape.
  4. Pay closer attention to physical signs of nature.
  5. When in nature, pay attention to what stands out most strongly.
  6. Notice the colors you encounter in nature.
  7. Attend to the numbers associated with the animals you encounter.
  8. Notice the four directions and their significance.
  9. Pay attention to the animal activities you come across.
  10. Make a conscious effort to connect with nature.

80. Understanding the Influence of Culture on Aging, Biology, Illness and the Immune System with Psychoimmunologist, Author and Longevity Expert Dr. Mario Martinez

What a pleasure and honor to have world-renowned cultural psychoneuroimmunologist Dr. Mario Martinez on the show today. I've had both of his ground-breaking books, The Mind Body Code and The Mind Body Self in my library since college when my acute fascination with the mind-body connection really kicked in so I was thrilled to be able to sit down with Dr. Martinez and learn from a true pioneer in the industry and founder of Biocognition, or what he calls, the mindbodyculture.
Dr. Martinez is a licensed clinical psychologist who argues that current mechanical models of the life sciences study disease by reducing the body to pathological parts. He proposes that the healing process must include the cultural history that contextualizes the mind-body expression of health, and challenges the cultural beliefs that perpetuate genetic helplessness. Biocognitive theory integrates research in psychoneuroimmunology, neuroscience, and cultural anthropology to conceptualize and address the causes of health, the learning of illness, and the biocultural ingredients of longevity.
