Lora Solomon is a family nurse practitioner, mother, teacher, visionary, author, retreat facilitator speaker, ordained minister, and podcaster. With over three decades of experience as a healthcare professional and wisdom teacher, she shines a light on the role of survival programming on our health and our relationship with our divinity.     In this episode, Kim Andryc and Lora Solomon discuss:   Lora’s newly published book Wounds to Wisdom The power of owning your entire story (even the dark parts) The healing power of bringing forth what is within  How our biography (story) becomes our biology (body)   Key Takeaways: Own your story, even the painful parts. “Your baggage is your power that is yet to be unpacked.”  If you bring forth what is within you, it will heal you.  If you don’t bring forth what is within you, it will destroy you.  Beliefs and programming which were installed when you were young and dependent were a matter of survival. When you start to challenge those beliefs, it will feel like you’re going to die but challenging them is necessary so that you can heal and bring forth your unique gifts. We can’t let what we do define who we are. We are human beings, not human doings.   "You have to own your story to own your power. It takes power to heal.

Tam Psychedelic Integration, which offers donation based integration circles in the bay area.   In this episode, Kim Andryc, Lora Solomon, and Daniel ‘Sitaram Das’ Shankin discuss: Misconceptions about psychedelics Differentiating escape versus deep inquiry  Holistic practices to support psychedelic integration Accessing the ecstasy in our nature   Key Takeaways: One of the biggest misconceptions about psychedelics is that they are not wholesome, or that they can never be something holy, spiritual or healthy.  How to discern if you’re using psychedelics to escape yourself versus going deeper within. Using psychedelics to heighten your meditative experience can be very effective if you use it to look inward. You’ll be able to gain awareness of how you look at the world, and restructure your perception or just sit in reverent remembrance of the experience.  Ecstasy is in our nature. Psychedelics, sex, and even a good chocolate croissant are all touch stones to who we really are - it helps us remember who we are.  "There are things that we’re concerned about and things we’re not, there’s things we have any control over and things that we don’t. People tend to be the happiest when they line up, give or take. When we’re mostly concerned about the things that we have control over." — Daniel ‘Sitaram Das’ Shankin Sign up for the 2nd Annual Integration Jam by clicking on this link, input the coupon code “REBELLION” to receive a 15% discount: https://integrationjam.com/  Connect with Daniel ‘Sitaram Das’ Shankin:  Website: https://tamintegration.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/tamintegration  Instagram: https://instagram.com/tamintegration  Facebook: https://facebook.com/tamintegration  Connect with Lora and Kim:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LoraAndKim  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sacredrebellionpodcast/ Email Lora:  connect@lorasolomon.com Email Kim: kim@kimandryc.com   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Has there ever been a more challenging and confusing time to be in ownership of a human body?  The Pandemic has illuminated just how lost we have gotten from outsourcing our health instead of owning responsibility for our bodies.  Dr. Kelly Brogan is a beacon of clarity for those who are willing to embody their own darkness as well as their light.  She shares intimate details of her own awakening and her continued efforts to stand in alignment with her values as a woman, mother and doctor.  For many years, most of us have accepted the narrative that the health care system can be trusted to fix us . . .  That we are broken and  need to be fixed by an external authority.   Now is the time to deeply challenge that narrative.  To navigate our choices in a brand new way.  Stepping out of "victim consciousness" is not for the faint of heart.  But the liberation that comes from standing firm in your own embodied sovereignty with humility and respect for others is the dance we are being invited to.  In this podcast we touch on the topics of what our shared values as human beings really are, what individuation requires, sitting in the tension of "I don't know" and trusting the dark night of the soul as a portal to giving birth to something better. Don't miss it!!!

Mothers and daughters. . . is there a more complicated relationship?  This episode is an intimate conversation between three women, friends, mothers, and daughters.  We share our challenges with our own mothers, grandmothers, and our adult daughters. In this time when we are aware enough to understand more about trans-generational trauma, how do we treat ourselves and our ancestors with respect and gentleness while accepting the challenge to heal our wounds? How do we recover from well-meaning conditioning and embody a more whole version of what it means to be a woman?  How do we nurture the next generation while we are still in our own recovery?  Laugh and cry along with us as we explore this rich topic. 

How can you tell when your spirit is trying to awaken you to your own potential for healing? For Elizabeth Becker, a seasoned counselor specializing in trauma, her awakening came with the dissolution of her 30-year marriage and two unwelcome diagnoses of breast cancer.  The awakening has blossomed into a whole new approach to her life, work and relationships.  In this conversation, she shares about her own healing, the role of plant medicine, and the unique way that she now works with clients who are willing to walk the path of transformation in their own lives.  Contact Elizabeth at elizabeth4innersolutions@gmail.com and through Instagram @mindmattersjourney.

What is Rolfing and what does it have to do with spirituality and healing? According to Ida Rolf, "we move through a room the way we move through life." In this episode, Lora and Kim interview Jill Coyne from Queen City Rolfing.  Jill enlightens us about the transformative practice of fully occupying our bodies in order to fully occupy our lives through structural integration. We all unconsciously hold patterns of protection in our bodies that prevent us from reaching our full potential. This amazing practice provides a framework for integration and allows us to walk through our lives in a more whole and powerful way.  Contact Jill at Queencityrolfing.com

In this episode we create space to talk about the hero's journey and how it is an effective framework for claiming the power to heal.
