Episode 5: Making Peace with Vulnerability and Reality

Allison pulled the Frog + Plantain card prior to recording this episode, and then thought she’d try another card to see if the message coming through was for her or for those listening…and then she pulled the Salamander + Aloe card. Seemed like the message was fairly clear from both: how are you being vulnerable…or not?

Without explicitly noting the totality of elements contained within these cards we spent this episode dancing around:

  • why vulnerability is so difficult, and what Shamanic perspectives offer to shift the spiral of vulnerability in a positive direction.

  • Maybe the biggest challenge about human minds…

  • The challenge with seeking ‘safety’ in the world before we practice opening up.

  • Potential teachings of the pandemic and this time of transformation: are we being called to simpler times?

  • Making peace with the First Noble Truth, and why this is essential to being a sane, empowered and loving human.

  • The part of your brain that selects for your reality without you even realizing it.

Please reach out if you have questions or would like us to focus on a particular topic or experience! We would love to hear from you.
