Self Talk with Rachel Astarte

✨ 100th EPISODE SPECIAL ✨

Join me in this special, one-hour interview with Abdi Assadi, a remarkable healer and counselor I've had the privilege to know and work with for over a decade.
____________________________

The whole woke movement is an extension of this culture's narcissism on steroids... Woke is a fortification of the head. Awake is a softening of the ego and an opening of the heart.
—Abdi Assadi

Abdi Assadi is a spiritual counselor and healer with four decades of clinical experience in acupuncture, body-centered psychotherapy, indigenous shamanic practices, and many meditative techniques. He is also a practitioner of internal and external martial arts. The real crux of Abdi’s work is integrating the human shadow, the disowned parts of ourselves that cause much of our disease and dysfunction.

In this episode, Abdi and I delve into some unpopular territory—questioning the virtues of the "woke movement" and considering its ultimate deleterious effects on our psyches and spirits.

Instead, Abdi offers the alternative of being "awake," so that we are "seeing—and more importantly feeling—of the whole while having compassion and love for those that have a different or damaged way of seeing… "

We also talk about individuation—what it means to be a true ally, and how to stay awake in a woke culture.

For the first 20 years of his life, Greg Weiting was in debilitating and insufferable chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. He decided that a life of pain was unacceptable and that he had to do whatever it took to heal.

After traveling across the United States in search of a cure, his travels took him to India and Asia, and eventually down to South America to study with the some of world’s greatest teachers and healers.

Today he is pain-free and helps others to heal the anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and trauma they can't think or talk their way out of.

In this episode, Greg and I talk about how healing happens after intergenerational trauma, and how we can better understand our innate healing capacities.

Art does not want anything else except to be created.
—Michael Magrutsche

Michaell Magrutsche is an Austrian/Californian multidisciplinary artist, creativity-awareness educator, speaker, and author. He works on raising awareness of our limitless human potential and comprehending wisdom. Michaell is also an advocate for helping understand neurodiversity.
