In this episode Engenoi speaks to Don Roberto, a shamanic facilitator who works within the Shipibo Amazonian tradition. They discuss their experiences working with plant medicine and how this ancient indigenous knowledge can be a powerful modality to heal.
Welcome to Healing In Harmony! This podcast is a safe space for me to share my journey with you and hopefully take a journey with you through your own healing. I will be showcasing different healing modalities from Ayurveda to plant medicine and the ways in which we can harness ancient indigenous knowledge and wisdom to heal ourselves and our communities.
Son,
You are my sun
Even on the days the light cast shadows across my face,
Drawing me into myself as my eyes became sunken coz my eyes could hardly open from the hammering in my head.
My skin suddenly seemed to fade.
Baraka,
You are going to have questions for mama
Yes, you were conceived in a year full of drama
The earth had never seen so much disease
We dreamed you up, an antidote to a virus
Where there was a lot more than the morning sickness to overcome
Raindrop, Ceiling, Me,
A million pieces scrambling to fit together
Against unpredictable weather
No one ever gave a voice to the voiceless so I had to claim mine.
This is my tagline
I exist because I resist
Survival is my badge of honour.
When you look at me you see past me
You want to define me but I'm unrefined, my spirit aligned, I was born in the sky, daughter of Geb, Nefretiti, Starseed
Created to succeed
My conception marked the inception of a new age
This body Gentle she sways, flowing,
Like the coolest breeze along the hot sands raising grains along her way, restless.
This body relentlessly stirring new strength I never imagined to own.
Hushed tones and tiptoes
Its 9pm don’t make a sound
Be invisible – don’t be seen
Act like you don’t exist
After all, you’re here to learn the game
We are the prophets
Poets of this world
It’s not something that’s learnt
It’s a gift that is earned
In this conversation, we discuss womb healing and what it means to access the raw power and potential of this sacred portal. The womb is the energetic centre of creative life force and feminine energy within the body where we birth all our magical potentials form: From birthing children, projects or ideas. What is the womb? How can we harness the power that is contained it? How can men connect with this energy?
