Podcast #19: Holistic Addiction Recovery & a Shamanic Journey to The Web of Lies

Disentangling oneself through the awareness, power, and practical spirituality of the journey

If someone’s engaged in active addiction, they’re also engaged in active lying.

This includes lies they’ve told others as well as ones they’re telling themselves—untangling the two can get complicated.

In today’s podcast episode, I discuss one method for freeing ourselves from The Web of Lies. Through the practice of shamanic journeying, it offers medicine in the form of awareness, experience, and practical spirituality.

Basics, examples, practice

If you’re new to shamanic journeying and want to learn the basics, find them here: The Shamanic Journey and Addiction Recovery - Part 1.

If you’d like to hear an example of what a journey might look like, give a listen to today’s podcast at the video link above.

And if you’re ready to undertake the Medicine Journey to The Web of Lies for yourself (without my voice guiding you), here’s an audio drumming file and some follow-up questions:
