Episode 130: Harvest Some, Compost Some
My Shamanic Life with Debbie Philp
09/01/23 • 26 min
It is time to harvest what we’ve been manifesting. In this episode, I discuss why not everything that we brought into being is going to serve in the way that we’d hoped, and why we might need to turn some into compost. The practice, a meditative visualization to work with suffering when you encounter it, was recorded over a year ago for an episode I never got around to editing and posting. Maybe Mercury Retrograde nudged me to go back and look for something to harvest from that neglected part of the garden when I didn’t come up with a new idea this week. In any case, it’s a good practice for your healing toolbox and I’m glad it is making its way to you.

Episode 157: Lawn Sunshine!
My Shamanic Life with Debbie Philp
04/26/24 • 35 min
Lawn Sunshine? Sheri said what she said. In this episode, monthly podcast guest Sheri Kurdakul shares some surprising benefits of dandelion, a plant vilified by those who want a perfect green lawn (why?!?). Sheri and I both think it’s a magical plant that spreads happiness. Sheri once again starts us off with an awesome herbal poem. Enjoy!

Episode 128: Manifesting Through Crisis
My Shamanic Life with Debbie Philp
08/21/23 • 26 min
In this somewhat late episode, I share the crisis that almost did in Fairy Fest and how my dear friend Sheri not only got me through it but reminded me what I was hoping to manifest. I share a meditation technique that helps me focus on my breath but is also easily made affirming. The practice has been helpful to me when I’m trying to manifest or just stay calm when the line in the grocery store is long and I am running late.

Episode 129: Bee Balm to Be Calm
My Shamanic Life with Debbie Philp
08/25/23 • 27 min
After our crazy weekend at Fairy Fest, my friend Sheri Kurdakul, a student of clinical herbalism, is back for another episode. Sheri shares about bee balm, a plant I thought was just for pollinators, but it turns out there are many benefits of growing and using bee balm, especially when the pressure to manifest is on. I talk a bit about staying calm and centered, or at least appearing too, even amid chaos. Give us a listen!

Episode 156: An Invitation to Rewild
My Shamanic Life with Debbie Philp
04/19/24 • 22 min
Earth Day is coming and I had great plans to do a special episode for that. Then I got caught up in recording a presentation of the paper I am writing for one of my grad school classes. It is a good topic for Earth Day, though, so I’m sharing the audio as part of the episode, after a bit of history about Earth Day to set the stage. Be sure to check out the links below for the events I mention, especially if you live near me. Happy Earth Day!
