Beginning with a shamanic song that rocks me to my core every time I listen to it, the episode you’re about to participate in is more ceremony than interview. If you watch it on video, you will see the moment my heart cracks open — and it just gets better from there. Led by our guest Dr. Marie Mbouni, this is also one of the most meaningful and profound experiences I’ve been able to share on the show.
As the social unrest unfolded over the last few months, I did a lot of soul searching and contemplation on the cultural pain body with which we are now squarely faced. It’s so clear that humanity is in dire need of healing; the powers that be seem hellbent on creating more racial and political division and many are taking the bait.
The more I see, the more confident I am that the solution to all of this suffering is in discovering the truth about who we are — both as individuals and as one human race. We are spiritual beings having a brief life experience in bodies, and on the level of spirit, there is no separation between us.
The challenge is in helping those entrapped by the illusion of separation and the fear that that illusion creates. True, lasting change must take place in the quantum realm of energy before it can manifest here in the physical plane of matter.
Luckily, there are few voices more capable of helping people understand our shared consciousness and the collective power we wield than Dr. Mbouni. With years of experience as both a Western doctor and a spiritual guide, she’s able to make Shamanic healing practices more accessible to a Western audience. And the more I learn about them, the more I realize this is a huge piece of what’s missing in our society.
Without any further ado, please join us in this heart-opening and healing ceremony with Dr. Marie Mbouni. All of humanity is invited.
