I’ve spent the last two decades making documentaries about ancient medicine traditions and the science behind their effectiveness.
While working on these projects, there are some clear through lines that almost every traditional school of healing shares. Ways of diagnosing and treating illness based on far more than surface symptoms.
An experienced shaman / healer / seer will observe ALL the ways you show up in the world, mapping everything out into the unique constellation that is you. The stars, moons, and planets in this constellation are everything from your posture to your coloring to your mannerisms to the words you use… the habits, proclivities, and cravings you have… your dreams at night… your triggers… even the aura and energy fields you project outward.
Once you know your constellation, this complex blueprint can dramatically expedite the healing process and aid you in your spiritual evolution.
There are parts of you that you may have never met, because the cultural patterns we’ve been forced to adhere to are so strong.
Ever thought about where your thoughts come from? Where the words that make up most of those thoughts originate? What the makers of those words prioritized, in terms of what you need to know and what we, as a human race, should be concerned about?
Colonialism is not just the capture and control of physical terrain. We all know how the Roman Empire, the English Empire, and the current American Empire operate on the physical plane. They take over countries, exploit economies, and control everything they can. But what do they do to the Earth’s population on a mental, emotional, and even spiritual level?
Have you ever wondered why it is that almost all world religions preach peace, and yet most of what we see in our societies are the exact opposite? Driven by fear, greed, shame, anger, and distrust?
A powerful exercise might be to ask yourself – Is it possible that I can access my highest powers and potential while harboring these types of emotions on a daily basis?
“Culture is not your friend.” – Terence McKenna
Ridding yourself of destructive cultural mindsets is just the beginning. It’s the demolition that needs to be done before you can build your palace, your mothership to other realms and dimensions…
The tricky part is that it’s sometimes hard to see the truth until you unplug yourself from today’s poisonous culture of fear and get your cockpit’s navigation system firing again.
This is what all the ancient ceremonial practices and interventions are for. Whether it’s deep meditation, sweat lodge, plant medicine, or shamanic journeying. They are remarkably effective at dissolving the toxic societal beliefs and neural signaling that are keeping us in our pain body.
Like Grandma always said, sometimes we all have to take our medicine.
There are so many time honored rituals and remedies to choose from. Just make sure you dive in with all your heart.
Stay curious,

As a poet, I have wondered, yes, about how language shapes, feeds and limits our sense of reality. As a very curious person, I have searched for cultural causes to account for destructive, self-distorting behaviors (like those my parents displayed as I was growing up in their household). As a chronically ill elder now, I have turned my back as much as I can on the allopathic medicines that have caused at least some of my body’s dysfunction, and sought to support its own healing drives with supplements and herbs and, well, respectful conversation.
I am impressed by your thinking. I wonder if I might actually break free of the physical restraints that dysfunction and pain have imposed on what’s left of my life. I wonder as well if there is a way to redirect, redeem, or at least neutralize the power of the destroyers of natural resources and of the interdependent functioning, the sacred dance of life — that evil whose presence has grown so much these last years, and grows exponentially and obscenely in my country now.
Thank you for this opening into hopeful possibility.
Wow. Honored to read your words Leah!

Natural remedies are God given.
God given , indeed ! Yes they are , and some of the most strongest , most nutrient dense plants are not in the forefront , where they need to be, hidden treasures hidden by science because they are so powerful modern medicine wouldn’t be needed , there is actually fear around that , a huge culture forced upon each and every one of us . Imagine high density nutrient rich foods part of our daily diets , can this really be achieved thru naturally slow processed low heat drying and turning into a powder or long fermentation processes that can preserve all nutritional value yet make it available worldwide for all to be able to use .
I’ve studied herbs and such for many years. And today we all do have access to these plants in powdered or fermented forms , it is really great enough so we do have access to them , and store them when having the real live fresh plant is just not practical ? Ihave thought long and hard on this , have you ? Interested in sharing the concept , we all do and can have all gods natural plants available to us , daily if we accept we can’t have the fresh off the tree or out if the ground , but we can thru old fashioned process , slow processes yet made available for all to enjoy , and to live a healthy life span . Modern ways to enjoy ancient healing foods from around the world ! Made so chikdren and babies can have them as well. Elderly with no appetites or capable of eating or desire to , ruined from disgusting additives , pharma drugs they fear not taking , but hate taking, not knowing better , a life time of being told medical professional not learning health , learning how to fix they medicine with side effects , yet that medicine orginated from natural foods tropical plants , taken apart and only parts used which cause and create gods design to be used in whole , yet taken apart on the molecular level creates side effects that become deadly or can become deadly! Reverting back to be used whole yet in a practical way , without loosing enzyme , keeping it whole all together yet making it useable world wide ? Thoughts about this please do share. Thank you .
Do you have an example of how to map everything into your unique constellation? I would love to have a personal map of healing. What would such a map look like?
