Integrating Our Shadows by Navigating our Personal Labyrinths to Come out Stronger + Neurodiversity❤
So...pretty long & unusual title. I open up about my recent self-discoveries & some groups, situations, & resources that have helped me accept where I'm at & feel more uplifted then the end of last year, which I will list here in case it's helpful to anyone else!
-NAMI-https://nami.org/Home ❄️
-Personality Hacker https://www.personalityhacker.com/ ❄️
-Natasha from the Temple of Akasha- https://www.templeofakasha.com/ (I am not sure if she still offers the one-on-ones but she has an online meditation community space & offers retreats from time to time & is just a dope & amazing human being to connect with and get spiritual guidance from, if anyone listening leans spiritual or feels like they're having an awakening, processing an awakening, or have other related questions from a spiritual lens). I met with her summer of 2023 so it's been a while, but one of the exercises I shared in here as being super helpful came from a session with her that was very transformational & has just come full circle with its impact, so I wanted to give credit and recommend her as a guide. ❄️
Existential Kink: Unmask Your Shadow and Embrace Your Power (A method for getting what you want by getting off on what you don't) https://bookshop.org/p/books/existential-kink-unmask-your-shadow-and-embrace-your-power-a-method-for-getting-what-you-want-by-getting-off-on-what-you-don-t-carolyn-elliott/13067847
Book's on my wishlist! I've listened to the author talk about the beauty of paradox, something I've always innately known! 😁✨️
Some more personal resources & shifts in attitude that have helped include:
❄️
-My recent mini family "retreat," which
helped begin the healing of some difficult patterns within my family that were becoming very problematic for my health before this trip happened.
❄️
-My one and only lucky brother (he's just a lucky person in general & I'm lucky to have a sibling who's got my back)
❄️
-LOTs of Neurodiversity Affirming & Strenghts Based Podcasters & Therapists or Healers in the Online Space...along with the good ole MBTI typology theory & Jungian Archetypes
❄️
-Sleeping under the stars (or almost "under them,"/next to a wide window to the night sky...)
❄️
-My best friends (including a new friend I made & very much needed maybe more in my life growing up Desi-American & 1st generation Desi-American to add! Shout out to all my 1st generation Asian, Native American, African, & any other 1st generation American that's listening🙏🏼✨️
❄️
-Silence
❄️
-Special Songs
❄️
-Poetry & Art Therapy
❄️
- & Loki, can't forget Loki lol

I am going into the New Year with more acceptance and grounding, & a returning connection to my heart-body-spirit space, integrating my recent dive into super heady intellectual thinking world with my intuitive & empathetic side again...very slowly but surely it's happening. I don't hate people, I just have stronger boundaries & more space from them so I can appreciate my own wounded self and heal it better! Which helps me value the time I spend with my inner circle/people that really matter...more. I'm finally finding that balance between the bliss of solitude & the shared joy of connection by spending more quality time with myself so that my quality time with people means more & feels less depleting! Basically recharging my batteries more (& maybe using a better battery/charging environment) so I can show up better and be more present when I am interacting with other humans, & loving myself more in the process. It's really amazing how our confidence is so intricately connected with our ability to sit with whatever we're going through without evading it and learning to befriend our shadows. I'm basically doing therapy with myself, & the occasional nudge and reminder from other people that are supporting me😌🙏🏼💓 Thank you if you are one of those people listening & I wish the same, however scary and intense, but ultimately liberating process of healing...for you! Thank-you for listening.

Sporadic Specks of the Tao 2! Laughing at the Tao (or laughing WITH the Tao?) + other random muses.
NOT a Short Episode although when I 1st started recording, I thought it would be... Reflections on laughing at the Tao & the paradoxes it presents, alongside sharing personal anecdotes (both joyful & not so joyful) about how my "holidays" and this time of year has been so far... I go on relevant tangents but reign it in back in to the Tao at the end. Disclaimer: Passive SI mentioned. If you or anyone else is struggling with this, call 988. Also, for anyone that's worried about me because of the passive SI disclaimers on so many recent episodes, I am going to start going to free (essentially group therapy) NAMI Support groups in 2024 & also find an individual therapist again once my Medicaid gets approved, so hang in there with me! Everyone's support & listenership means a lot & my audience may be quite small on here but I do it for you all! For you reading this & for you listening to the end. I hope it brings some value & #realtalk in your life! ☯️
"Possessing The Tao" -- "There was once a diligent & serious student of the Way, who one day asked his master, "Can you possess the Tao?" "You can't possess even your own body" answered his master. "How could you possess the Tao?" "If I don't possess my own body," asked the student, "then who does?" "It has been lent to you by heaven & earth. Life itself is not your possession," said the master. "You don't possess your own nature or your own destiny. They have been lent to you by heaven & earth. Your children & their children are not your possession. They are as molted insect skins, lent to you by heaven & earth. So when you walk, you don't notice where you are going, when you stop you don't know where you are. When you eat you don't know what it is that you are eating. The Chi of heaven & earth is so much stronger than yours but even it can't possess the Tao." -Chuang Tzu. After reading this a 2nd time, I wonder if the Tao is basically the neutrino stream...which we can't possess or even make complete sense of! Anyway, the next part of this tale is a little poem by Lao Tzu, "When the superior person hears of the Tao He diligently studies it. When the inferior person hears of the Tao Sometimes she remembers it, sometimes not. When foolish students hear of the Tao They laugh at it. If they did not laugh at it, It would not be the Tao." & there you have it! Hope that you can still laugh in the face of absurdities in life, & the face of conflicts or confusion. Don't worry cuz the Mercury Retrograde is supposed to end on January 1st lol
