“Oftentimes, I share with the students. Everybody wants to do Psychedelic Journey these days. And I'm like, listen, if you are not cleaning up your diet and getting your body right, your mind is not going to be able to project the images properly.” says Speaker A, holistic lifestyle coach, shamanic practitioner, and expert teacher at the Czech Institute, who joins Mental Health in a Modern World for a riveting exploration of the intersections between ancient shamanic wisdom and cutting-edge biogeometry.
A lifelong seeker whose own childhood health struggles propelled her into the world of holistic healing, Angie Chek weaves together biology, energy medicine, biogeometry, and shamanism to reveal how unlocking mental, emotional, and spiritual health demands clearing not just the mind—but the body and one’s physical environment as well. She unpacks the surprising ways in which energetic imbalance, environmental toxins, and even soul fragmentation show up as chronic diseases or mental health challenges. Her stories of animal spirits, nature divination, and soul retrieval offer a fresh perspective on anxiety, depression, and the so-called “spiritual crisis” seen today in children and adults alike.
Tune in to this episode of Mental Health in a Modern World to learn why true healing requires a clean vessel, how biosignatures act as an energetic language for organ balance, and why our pain, rather than being suppressed, is often the very key to transformation. Discover practical insights for parents of sensitive kids, seekers of non-psychedelic shamanic practices, and anyone interested in bridging science and spirit for next-level mental wellbeing.

"Everybody wants to do Psychedelic Journey these days. If you are not cleaning up your diet and getting your body right, your mind is not going to be able to project the images properly."
"If you really want to dive into these realms, start with meditation. Get your mind to quiet—when you quiet your mind, then you can start to hear again, you can start to feel again, you can start to sense again. Then that whole world opens up to you."
"Don’t spend your life trying to convince someone to like peaches when there are so many people who love peaches. Find your people, find your tribe, be you, and watch the magic happen."

Oftentimes, I share with the students. Everybody wants to do Psychedelic Journey these days.
Speaker:And I'm like, listen, if you are not cleaning up your diet and getting
Speaker:your body right, your mind is not going to be able to project the images
Speaker:properly. And the analogy would be like, back in the day, when I grew up,
Speaker:we had bunny ears like little antennas on top of our tv. And when you
Speaker:change a channel, you had to change the ears in order get the right signal.
Speaker:So if you don't have a clear antenna, which is a healthy body,
Speaker:that's going to scramble it up and you're not going to see a good signal.
Speaker:So you're thinking, you see what you're seeing, but you're not. In a world moving
Speaker:faster than our minds were designed to handle, mental health is becoming one of the
Speaker:defining challenges of our time. Welcome to Mental Health in a Modern
Speaker:World with holistic health practitioner Greg Schmauss. After
Speaker:overcoming severe anxiety and OCD in his own life,
Speaker:Greg dedicated the past decade to helping others heal through a fully
Speaker:integrated approach to mental health, combining lifestyle coaching,
Speaker:psycho emotional healing, mindfulness, and archetypal work.
Speaker:Over the years, he's facilitated thousands of sessions guiding people back
Speaker:to peace, clarity, and a deeper connection with themselves.
Speaker:Each week, Greg shares powerful solo insights, conversations with
Speaker:leading voices in holistic healing, and immersive live coaching sessions that
Speaker:take you inside the healing process itself. New episodes every
Speaker:Friday. Follow the show and start reclaiming sovereignty over your mind
Speaker:in a modern world. Here's Greg. So, Angie, welcome to the
Speaker:podcast. Thank you. Great to be here. I'm excited.
Speaker:Yeah, I'm excited. So for any of my listeners
Speaker:that aren't yet aware of your work, I'd love for you to just share
Speaker:a little bit of your background and how you got into the field
Speaker:of holistic health and a lot of what you've been up to recently.
Speaker:Okay, well, that's a. That's a big question, because it probably started when I was
Speaker:just a little girl. I was like six months old, and I was
Speaker:diagnosed with croup. And so I had this whooping cough. And,
Speaker:you know, first they didn't know what it was from, and then they said, well,
Speaker:she just has croup. And because of that diagnosis, as you would call
Speaker:it, my whole life I've been trying to figure out why my lungs weren't working
Speaker:properly. You know, my brother was this really healthy kid, and I was this
Speaker:sick kid all the time. The weather changed. I couldn't breathe, you know, and I
Speaker:was always home from school. I was the Kid that loved school, My brother hated
Speaker:school. I was the one who had to stay at home because I was having
Speaker:ailments. And I just started getting into the health industry real early
Speaker:because I started reading about nutrition and health at a young age. Like
Speaker:my favorite book as a kid was the Medical Encyclopedia, because I was trying
Speaker:to figure out, well, what's going on with my body, what am I feeling, what's
Speaker:happening? And then I started reading about herbs and trying to figure out what herbs
Speaker:could help me. And, and so that's kind of like paved the
Speaker:way from where I'm at now. So I became a biology major
Speaker:at the University of California, Riverside, and then I went on to get my nutrition
Speaker:degree. Along the way I also became a personal trainer because I wanted to learn
Speaker:how to take care of my body and then help others take care of theirs.
Speaker:And that led me to Paul's work with the Czech Institute. And now I'm a
Speaker:holistic lifestyle coach, a teacher to teach coaches how
Speaker:to be coaches. And in that I also delved into all these other
Speaker:modalities. I learned about shamanism. I'm a three year
Speaker:advanced trained shamanic practitioner. Through Michael Farmer's work.
Speaker:I went into energy medicine and now I'm really deep into
Speaker:biogeometry. Yeah, it seems like it's a
Speaker:pretty common theme that our early childhood
Speaker:experiences or our own personal healing journey kind of sets the
Speaker:stage for a lot of our purpose or our mission in this work.
Speaker:How, especially in shamanism, they talk about the initiations that you
Speaker:go through. It sounds like you had your initiation quite
Speaker:early on. Yeah, right on. And that's exactly right. And I, I teach that in
Speaker:my holistic lifestyle classes. I teach that our pain is
Speaker:actually there to guide us in our direction in which we're supposed to go.
Speaker:So if someone just takes your pain away, you might be missing the message. And
Speaker:so my pain made me interested in nutrition and health.
Speaker:Yeah, absolutely. And so I'd love to get into
Speaker:biogeometry. I know this has been a huge passion of yours
Speaker:recently and it's something that's really interested me. So I'd love for you to
Speaker:just give us, to start, just a brief overview of what
Speaker:biogeometry is. Okay. So
Speaker:biogeometry, the way I like to explain it is that it's a relatively new
Speaker:science based on old Egyptian techniques. And so it
Speaker:was founded by Dr. Ibrahim Karim. He's still alive, in his 80s,
Speaker:and his background is he's an architect and he's
Speaker:Egyptian. And so he, his big Thing was how did they
Speaker:harness this energy, this healing energy in pyramids. And he was wondering
Speaker:how he could harness that energy to create homes for people like apartment
Speaker:complexes that would actually benefit the people living in it. In his
Speaker:quest put him all over the world where he was looking at sacred sites to
Speaker:figure out what it is that made these sites,
Speaker:healing sites. And he acted three energies there.
Speaker:And so we call them BG3 like biogeometry 3. And
Speaker:so it's the higher harmonics of ultraviolet, the higher harmonics of
Speaker:gold. And also of, it's also called horizontal
Speaker:negative green. I'm sorry, horizontal negative,
Speaker:Negative green, yes. There's vertical and negative. I had to make sure I saw the
Speaker:right one. So horizontal negative green, gold and ultraviolet, these three
Speaker:colors come together. And when those three colors come together, they
Speaker:enhance not only human life, but all sentient beings. So, so all
Speaker:things at the cellular level, plants, animals, everything has
Speaker:a benefit from these three light colors coming together.
Speaker:So is the technology of biogeometry taking
Speaker:the electromagnet magnetic field of an environment
Speaker:and organizing the energy within it? Like is it creating
Speaker:just a greater sense of coherence? So what it is it's doing, it's actually
Speaker:transmuting it into energy that is actually healing
Speaker:versus damaging to the body. And would you say that,
Speaker:you know, because the show is mental health in a modern world. Our modern world
Speaker:is filled with so many disruptive energies from non native
Speaker:EMFs to a lot of pollution. So I'm curious
Speaker:if you feel like this technology is probably more
Speaker:essential now than ever just given a lot of the
Speaker:energetics of our environment. Yeah, absolutely. That's one of the reasons I
Speaker:got into it because I was of that mindset. Let's, let's blow up the
Speaker:5G towers now 6G towers. And it's like. And I was like, how do we
Speaker:get rid of these? And when I started listening to Dr. Karine, he had this
Speaker:more gentle approach. He's like no, this is, this is
Speaker:modern science. How can we learn to work with it? So by
Speaker:simple techniques, simple solutions, we can change that energy coming out
Speaker:of the cell phone towers and create into a harmonizing energy. And
Speaker:that's when I was interested. I'm like, well let's see how we can do that.
Speaker:Because it's way more yin, you know, And I exploding things is just violence with
Speaker:violence. So it's like let's how can we change this and alter it?
Speaker:And his, his work, you know, originally started with in Hamburg, Switzerland.
Speaker:And that's how he he was actually commissioned to change the 5G towers.
Speaker:They were practicing it a long time ago. And they said, hey, these 5G towers
Speaker:are causing people to get cancer, tinnitus, hurting
Speaker:the animals. And. And so Dr. Karine's answer was like, well, if
Speaker:you know what's causing the problem, why don't you just get rid of the problem?
Speaker:They're like, ah, yeah, we can't do that, but we know you can fix it.
Speaker:And he's like, yeah, I can. So he went out there and he altered them
Speaker:with his solutions. He made these Hamburg emitters and he put these
Speaker:solutions pointed at the 5G towers. And sure enough, within
Speaker:seconds of getting the pollution corrected, people noticed. They're like, my ears
Speaker:aren't ringing anymore. And then shortly after, weeks later, people who had
Speaker:cancer, the cancers were going to remission. There was leukemia in the
Speaker:animals and the leukemia was now disappearing. And like, well, this is
Speaker:crazy. And at first they said, oh, it's just placebo effect that this
Speaker:thing, it's like, we believe it so therefore it's working. And he says, well, there's
Speaker:no placebo effect on animals. So he started doing more research on animals
Speaker:and showing the fact they don't know. He was like, unless they speak. I forgot
Speaker:what language they were speaking. He's like, unless they speak, you know, the language, then
Speaker:they wouldn't know what we're doing. So it be saw that the animals were actually
Speaker:getting healthier. Wow. So
Speaker:obviously there's been for many, many years
Speaker:a whole field of grounding. We go outside, we get barefoot on the
Speaker:earth, we expose ourselves to the Schumann resonance and it lowers
Speaker:inflammation and things like that. So is this kind of
Speaker:taking some of that technology just to a whole nother level?
Speaker:I think there, you know, there's so many different modalities. I think there's many ways
Speaker:to heal a person. And so I think they're all pointing in the same direction
Speaker:where, you know, recognizing that we're energetic beings and
Speaker:recognizing that we have to concentrate on the human being as a whole and
Speaker:energetically working on us. And that's why he created the
Speaker:biosignatures. And the bio signatures are a specific branch of
Speaker:biogeometry that works on balancing the energy in
Speaker:our organ systems and specific body parts so that they can become
Speaker:healed again. The way I like to explain that is, you know,
Speaker:you think about energy and it's like we're, we're getting scrambled
Speaker:by these 5G towers, microwave ovens and even chemicals, you know,
Speaker:and things, additives and things. They put in our food, it scrambled
Speaker:our energetic field. And then our body goes well, what's the optimal way to go
Speaker:through my liver? Or what's the optimal way to go through my lungs? And
Speaker:doesn't remember that optimal way. So it creates a new pathway and over
Speaker:time that leads to disease. And so when you
Speaker:understand these signatures that he's created, when you place those signatures directly
Speaker:on your skin, you could draw em on yourself or create an emitter, which I
Speaker:deal with paper emitters with a picture of the person. It sends that energy
Speaker:back to the person to remind them of the optimal balance and
Speaker:how the energy goes through these organs. And as soon as your body
Speaker:picks it up it's like yes, that's the right way. And immediately we see
Speaker:healing start to take place. So you're
Speaker:so part of it, you're using certain symbols, is that correct?
Speaker:They're called biosignatures. And Dr. Cream, during his
Speaker:quest of finding information about the pyramids, he was given
Speaker:these, these ancient scrolls. They were actually, I think a library
Speaker:in Cairo. And they said we need to entrust you with these. And there
Speaker:was these very ancient scrolls. And in that scrolls there was information about
Speaker:these signatures that were used in the ancient times.
Speaker:And so he learned about them and he was able to start creating his own
Speaker:based on the information and the scrolls. And now he's has over 158
Speaker:of these signatures for the body. It almost sounds like a language.
Speaker:It really is, you know, and it's interesting because you say that
Speaker:because I've been working with them for almost seven years now
Speaker:and I have created a book and I'm not publishing it
Speaker:publicly because I don't want it to interfere with Dr. Kring's book. He
Speaker:had the biosignature in his book. He just shows lungs 1,
Speaker:lungs 2, lungs 3, without any information about it. And I
Speaker:wanted to know more about the signature. So I actually started asking my
Speaker:clients questions like tell me about your heart condition, tell
Speaker:me about what's going on with your lungs. And I would write notes, I'm like
Speaker:oh, this, this signature supporting this condition. And over
Speaker:time I have information not only on the physical level, but the mental
Speaker:emotional level as well. So someone had might have a negative thought that's
Speaker:creating destruction in an organization. And so I write all this information
Speaker:down and that helps me figure out what signatures are needed and why
Speaker:they're needed. And so it's a language. And so
Speaker:that came very strongly. Just like a week ago I was working on this
Speaker:high profile case and what came to me is I
Speaker:have, I'm using the signatures and it's a language for me to connect
Speaker:to like different dimensions, just like some of my arrow and
Speaker:get information. Well, they have developed a language with those cards.
Speaker:This card to me means this, this card to me means that. And when those
Speaker:cards show up, it's like, oh, I need to tell this person about this. Because
Speaker:this card showed up with this meaning. And now it's a
Speaker:language for when those signatures show up. It's like, yes, this signature is going
Speaker:to tell me to tell them to look this in this direction.
Speaker:It's funny because when I was exploring what
Speaker:I wanted to talk to you about, the two things that came up were biogeometry
Speaker:and shamanism. And what I'm starting to hear is that they're not
Speaker:separate. It's almost like biogeometry is a form of
Speaker:shamanism. Because these symbols, like when, when
Speaker:I've worked with symbols in the past, they almost
Speaker:appear as entities, almost like
Speaker:energetic beings that carry consciousness that you can work with
Speaker:to create healing, which is shamanism. And so I'm curious
Speaker:if you've kind of explored like that, shamanism and
Speaker:biogeometry. There's a bridge between the two, that they're not so separate.
Speaker:Yeah. And I think like all these healing modalities, they're all
Speaker:ways of tapping into the unconscious, you know, And I think that, you know,
Speaker:whether you, like I said, whatever modality you use, ruin stone,
Speaker:you know, divination of some kind, all of that is connected. And
Speaker:if you're listening, like I even speak with animals. And so animals show
Speaker:up in my field and always giving me messages and warning. Like even
Speaker:yesterday I was driving home with the kids and bringing them home from school
Speaker:and his hawk comes diving down in front of my windshield and it was away.
Speaker:I'm like, well, that was a message for me about the hawk. The hawk tells
Speaker:me to pay attention, look around. I thought, okay, what do I need to be?
Speaker:So I immediately looked at my speed. Am I driving too fast? Let me slow
Speaker:down. Maybe something's going to be on the road, you know. And it just gives
Speaker:me that warning. So it's like a heads up, don't drive fast, something's happening. But
Speaker:it wasn't on the road. It was when I got home. I parked the car,
Speaker:we got out of the car and the kids came out of the car and
Speaker:Zomi starts to scream. This is just yesterday. And there was a big
Speaker:snake right on our driveway. And so it was like the hop was saying
Speaker:hey, be aware of your surroundings. You know, thankfully, it was just a garden snake,
Speaker:but we have a lot of rattlesnakes. So immediately thought, rattlesnake busted in the house.
Speaker:I said, well, you did everything right. You got away from the snake. That's what
Speaker:you want to do. But the hawk was there to say, hey, pay attention. There's
Speaker:stuff in your field. And so shamanism's alive and well in any
Speaker:all these modalities, and it's a great way to connect. So
Speaker:whichever way a person wants to connect is valid. And the more
Speaker:you do it, it strengthens the language. Yeah.
Speaker:One of the things that I'm really curious about because I've experienced this in my
Speaker:own life, is, you know, in the Czech Institute,
Speaker:we explore a lot of, you know, parasite
Speaker:infections, fungal infections, the microbiome, how all of these
Speaker:organisms have a huge impact on our health, whether it's
Speaker:physically, mentally, emotionally. And something that I've been exploring
Speaker:recently is how different organisms
Speaker:vibrate at different frequencies and how
Speaker:whatever mental, emotional state we're in, if we're
Speaker:in resonance with a certain organism, we might be more
Speaker:susceptible to, let's say, a fungal infection. Like, I have felt
Speaker:people that have have stagnation in their life,
Speaker:they're more susceptible to fungal infections or mold, or
Speaker:if someone has a lot of suppressed anger, they might
Speaker:be more susceptible to like, a shingles virus or some other
Speaker:organism. And so I'm curious whether it's in
Speaker:biogeometry or just in your own work, if you've explored the
Speaker:connection between some of these chronic infections
Speaker:and how these organisms vibrate at certain
Speaker:frequencies and whether biogeometry is something that you
Speaker:use to kind of help clear things like that. Yeah, a hundred percent.
Speaker:Because when I'm looking at biogeometry signatures, I dived into
Speaker:people's mental emotional state. And to say, what is their dominant thought?
Speaker:And this is creating could create this problem. And so this
Speaker:signature is going to help balance. What also comes to mind
Speaker:is like Louise Hay's work, you know, you can heal your life, her
Speaker:book, and she talks about how we have this auric field,
Speaker:and when we have negative thoughts, you're actually burrowing a hole
Speaker:through your energetic field, which allows things to enter into your
Speaker:body. And that's why if a doctor's working with all these patients, they
Speaker:don't get sick because they don't have those negative thoughts. So their auric field
Speaker:is impenetrable. But as soon as we start having stinking
Speaker:thinking of any description, certain folds will show up in your field and that's
Speaker:where that energy leaks in. And what you said about
Speaker:the. Everything has its own vibration. It's true. I used to in my
Speaker:office carry this machine called a bio meridian machine. I don't use
Speaker:it anymore, but I did for years. And basically you could detect what's
Speaker:in a person's body energetically through the meridian points on their fingers and toes.
Speaker:And so I'd use a lot for parasites, you know, and say, okay, what's going
Speaker:on? So it's non invasive, it's electrical impulse and it would go to
Speaker:like the liver, you know, and you could test and you would send signals and
Speaker:it would do it. The, it was a line to things. You couldn't see what's
Speaker:happening on the screen. It was just these boxes and it'd go. And
Speaker:what happens is when, if it's something your body's been exposed to, it will
Speaker:react to that energy. But if it's something it's never been exposed to,
Speaker:there's no impetus to stop it. So there's no reaction. So the
Speaker:current goes through and no response. Goes through, no response. But when there
Speaker:is something like a parasite in your body, you'll go and it'll pop up
Speaker:and say this parasite, this specific parasite is in
Speaker:a person. And, and that was valuable information because now I'm
Speaker:like, okay, now I can look up the life cycle of this parasite and learn
Speaker:about it and know how to get rid of it in a person body. All
Speaker:of that is tied together and I in emotions and I love that you know
Speaker:how you've worked in thinking about diseases or mold of funguses and
Speaker:how they're affecting because yeah, that's more information that needs to be
Speaker:exposed because people don't put that correlation about why they're getting that.
Speaker:And yeah, maybe there's stagnation that is creating this
Speaker:fungus to appear. Obviously in our
Speaker:modern day world, the amount of technology and social media and
Speaker:screen time and all the things that we're exposed to now on a daily
Speaker:basis. My big focus, especially on the show is mental
Speaker:health. And so, you know, levels of
Speaker:anxiety, depression, adhd, ocd, all of
Speaker:these mental illnesses are just skyrocketing.
Speaker:And so I'm curious how you've seen
Speaker:biogeometry become a huge
Speaker:asset in terms of people's mental health, especially
Speaker:kind of in this world of constant stimulation.
Speaker:Yes. So Dr. Karim has a whole bunch of
Speaker:signatures for general stress and in that there's a
Speaker:four part series that he's created and it's for anxiety
Speaker:Nervousness, tension in the body, and so depression. And I
Speaker:find that those are extremely effective for people today. In fact,
Speaker:I had a psychologist actually hire me because he
Speaker:was depressed, and he was on three different antidepressants.
Speaker:And he was like, I've heard about this biogeometry. Can you help me with that?
Speaker:And I'll. Let's try. And sure enough, he had a couple signatures
Speaker:that he needed, and he reported back. But in 20 minutes, he felt
Speaker:significantly better. He was to the point where he was not even working
Speaker:because he was so depressed that he couldn't get out of bed. And when we
Speaker:applied the signatures and he was like, I've noticed improvement. And he slowly started
Speaker:taking himself off the medication because he's the one who put him off the medication.
Speaker:And he got to the point where he did not need the medication anymore, which
Speaker:was pretty powerful, you know, And I know, I know the medical companies do not
Speaker:want to hear that. And if I said that, you know, they probably want to
Speaker:burn me. But there is a lot of stuff coming out now that says,
Speaker:hey, maybe, just maybe. Like, I was just on social media
Speaker:this morning, and this mother was talking about how they wanted to
Speaker:put her kid on Ritalin, and she found out that
Speaker:Saffron had some significant effects on a child
Speaker:and calming effect, helping with clarity of mind and focus.
Speaker:And she was able to just do Saffron for her child. And he
Speaker:was. And the teachers were like, wow, he's doing amazing. Which drug did you choose?
Speaker:And she's like, I didn't choose any drug. And I think that's the message we
Speaker:need to go to instead of quickly going to the drug. There's a time and
Speaker:a place for medication, but it's not. Shouldn't be the first step. It's like, let's
Speaker:try some of these natural things, you know, biogeometry for sure. I mean, that's
Speaker:just a signature. And once you know which signature, you can draw it on your
Speaker:skin yourself, and it doesn't cost you any more money. You know, it's like you
Speaker:have it and it's yours, you know, and so why not?
Speaker:Wouldn't you try something gentle like that? That's harmonizing the body
Speaker:versus, yes, this is giving me the desired effects, but I'm getting all these
Speaker:side effects too. Yeah.
Speaker:What I love about this is how, you know, mostly people are
Speaker:focusing just on healing, like the individual, the
Speaker:individual body, the individual mind. But it seems like this
Speaker:really emphasizes how the body, mind
Speaker:and environment are all one that you can't
Speaker:separate the two, we know you can't separate the body and the mind, but you
Speaker:also can't separate the body, mind and the environment. You know,
Speaker:like Gabor Mate talks about it being biopsychosocial,
Speaker:where social being the environment. I think it's
Speaker:biopsychosocial, spiritual. So I think there's four there.
Speaker:And so if people were wanting to just get
Speaker:started, like just cracking the door open to biogeometry,
Speaker:what would you recommend for people as just like a
Speaker:starting point or an entry point? Well, for sure they can start with his books.
Speaker:Dr. Karim has written three books. His most recent book,
Speaker:Hidden Reality is a pretty deep dive, so it might be a little overwhelming
Speaker:at first. But his biosignatures or his future for mankind,
Speaker:those are his original books. Those would be a good starting point. And if you're
Speaker:really wanting to dive in, you can do the foundation training. The foundation
Speaker:training can be done online. So you just have to find a week where they're
Speaker:doing that and just book out your schedule for just learning about biogeometry.
Speaker:It will change your life. And I would say those would be a good starting
Speaker:point for that. Beautiful, beautiful. Thank you for that.
Speaker:And we'll link all of that in the, in the show notes there,
Speaker:there is a, a code. It's check 75 for
Speaker:discounts off the foundation training. Oh perfect. So they can try
Speaker:using that code to get the discount, but at least some something off that.
Speaker:Awesome. So we'll have that linked for everyone. I'd love to get into
Speaker:shamanism. I know this is another one of your big passions
Speaker:because obviously shamanism's becoming almost like a hot topic
Speaker:recently. But most people, when they hear about
Speaker:shamanism, they think about plant medicine and
Speaker:psychedelics. They think about going to the Amazon drinking ayahuasca.
Speaker:And obviously plant medicine is a beautiful tool and it's a big
Speaker:aspect of shamanism. But there's also a whole field
Speaker:of shamanism outside of psychedelics, which
Speaker:I know you do a lot of work around. And so I'd love to dive
Speaker:into more of the non psychedelic
Speaker:based shamanic practices and. Cause I
Speaker:think that's very overlooked. Yeah. Kind of in where
Speaker:shamanism is going right now. So I'd love to dive into that a little bit.
Speaker:Yeah, so when I did my three year advanced training, there was no
Speaker:psychedelics in that course there. And so you learn about the
Speaker:basic shamanism, the foundation of shamanism and
Speaker:it's shamanism.org if someone's interested in looking into that.
Speaker:And I actually found so much value in this.
Speaker:Because one of the first things that ever happened to me when I
Speaker:was going into this work. So what happened is I was on my,
Speaker:my life path of learning things in this book with the way of the shaman
Speaker:just kind of appeared into my life. And I was like, wow, what's this? And
Speaker:it was by Michael Harner. And so it's like a. It's just like a little
Speaker:book. And in it it's like actual exercises and
Speaker:things to do as well. So when I got this book, I didn't just read
Speaker:it, I actually studied it and I would stop and actually do the
Speaker:exercise that he required. And on their website they actually have
Speaker:downloadable drums. So you can hear the right drum beat. So the work is done
Speaker:with the right drum. And that gets you
Speaker:into this deep like theta state. And where you can go, it's venture on and
Speaker:so powerful. And if you get it right, the really good drummer, you can
Speaker:go really far places. Yeah. If your drummer is not always on point,
Speaker:it's not very deep because it's like they're. The beat keeps on changing. So if
Speaker:you can get someone to do a steady beat for you for 30 minutes or
Speaker:even 15 minutes, it can take you on these wild rides. So I
Speaker:remember studying this book and getting so excited and then found out that he had
Speaker:a weekend course called the Way of the Shamay. And it was in San
Speaker:Francisco and I was a young girl at the time and I'm like, I'm going
Speaker:to. So here I was like, probably in my 20s and I was like, we're
Speaker:booking this ticket. I'm going to San Francisco. I'm gonna stay in this hotel. I
Speaker:take this course. This is what I'm gonna do. And it was one of those
Speaker:magical, magical weekends where I remember they had a
Speaker:really good drummer and they said, okay, we're gonna go and to go to
Speaker:the lower world. So they explained how to go to the lower world and see
Speaker:a power animal. And so it was a 15 minute only thing.
Speaker:And you're supposed to just go in, identify an animal there and then come back.
Speaker:Well, I was just like the fool, like the tarot card, like, oh, I'm just
Speaker:gonna go with this. But I had been doing meditation for over two, three years
Speaker:by then. And I was really good at stilling my mind. I think that's the
Speaker:key to this work. If you don't, if your mind is too buzzy, you're not
Speaker:going to be able to still and decipher all these messages. And I was just
Speaker:like, do to Do. And all of a sudden I was like, okay, I'm in
Speaker:this field. And all of a sudden it was like I got grabbed by my
Speaker:shoulders by this giant raven and flies me up into this
Speaker:forest and drops me in this nest. And I could feel my heart
Speaker:on the ground in that room beating. But I wasn't in that body anymore.
Speaker:So I was like parting sense my body's vitals there, but I was
Speaker:literally in this nest and I was having this surreal
Speaker:experience. Like, I remember the wind blowing through my hair. I could feel the
Speaker:sensation of something grabbing and pick me up and that feeling of getting off the
Speaker:ground and kind of scared of the height, you know, and then landing this nest
Speaker:and going, where the hell am I? And then this raven was feeding me like
Speaker:a worm and then a mushroom and then an herb. And then this combination
Speaker:molted me into this raven. And I was just like, so this is like
Speaker:being on a psychedelic journey without any drugs, right? And it was like.
Speaker:And I'm like, holy moly. And I'm looking at myself and I'm like, I'm a
Speaker:freaking raven right now, right? And the raven just looks at me like, come on,
Speaker:let's go. And so I started flying with this raven, and it would bring me
Speaker:down into these different sights. It was like, you know, at first, it was like
Speaker:that I realized there were tribes doing ritual shamanic,
Speaker:whatever things. And the first one, you know, it was just like,
Speaker:oh, they were kind of like almost like church. Like, they were sitting and praying
Speaker:and kneeling and praying and thinking and. And he just. The Raiden looked at me
Speaker:like, you got that? I'm like, yeah, okay, whatever. So we flew again
Speaker:and went to another tribe, and their stature started to get shorter and
Speaker:their teeth got a little more fang like. And the ritual got a little bit
Speaker:more primal. Like, all of a sudden, I start seeing them sacrificing animals
Speaker:and stuff. And I was like, but I got it. It was like, okay. We
Speaker:have kind of candy asked our rituals to the point where they're. They don't mean
Speaker:anything to people or they don't bring them into the now. They're not centering them.
Speaker:And so it doesn't mean you have to kill an animal do that, but that's
Speaker:how they did it back in the day. And it was like, when something is
Speaker:losing its life, you are fully focused on that. There's nothing else that
Speaker:you're not thinking about watching TV or your next bill you have to pay. You're,
Speaker:like, focused. And so what happened when it Kept on flying. I
Speaker:realized the sun was going. Instead of east to west, it was going west to
Speaker:east. So it was going back in time, and I was going back. And all
Speaker:of a sudden, all the way to the time where it was like the Ice
Speaker:Ages and there was this triang. And here I am, you know, I'm flying and
Speaker:I'm hiding out in these trees with this raven. But at the last scene, where
Speaker:are these big black birds in this tree of snow, right? And
Speaker:the sheep looks up and goes, oh, we've been blessed with some astral
Speaker:travelers right now. And I'm like, dude, of course he can see us with
Speaker:big white black birds and a big white tree, you know? And he said, could
Speaker:you please come down and show us where you've come from? I'm like, oh, okay.
Speaker:So as I came down, I molted back into my human form,
Speaker:and I brought my arms out, extended them out like a T,
Speaker:and I became this projector where everything in my life
Speaker:just shot out of me. And they were watching video. I remember they were just
Speaker:like a video. It was like they were just seeing my life. I even saw,
Speaker:like, 9, 11 come out of me. Like, things that I had been exposed to
Speaker:that even though I wasn't directly in within my field.
Speaker:And then I put my hands down, and he said, thank you. And then
Speaker:he handed me this white stone and said, and when it's your turn, we'll
Speaker:be there with you. Because I was in his lifetime. And I said, thank you.
Speaker:And then they had the callback. And so I explained all this to my teacher.
Speaker:And my teacher's like, oh, well, let's not try to be like Angie. And I
Speaker:felt almost embarrassed at that point because I realized I had done so much work
Speaker:to get to that beginner level, that I was already doing some advanced
Speaker:work. And that's when I realized, this is my calling. I need to do this.
Speaker:Because not everybody had that experience. They weren't meditating. They didn't study
Speaker:the book. They showed up for this class and they were like, oh, I think
Speaker:I see an ear. I think I see a nose. I think I see this
Speaker:tail. And they weren't getting clear images. And that's where I'm like, oh, my gosh,
Speaker:I have to do this. And that's what brought me in. So that,
Speaker:to me, was so profound that it was. If I was on psychedelics, I'd be
Speaker:like, oh, it's the drugs talking. You know, I was high and I thought I
Speaker:was a raven. Cool. But when you're stone sober and those things
Speaker:happen to you. You can't even fathom it. You can't wrap your head around it.
Speaker:You can't say it was just the drug talking. It's like this is proof of
Speaker:shamanism and this is the power of shamanism. And that's what got me into
Speaker:the studying. I'm like, I have to continue this path. I'm a big fan of
Speaker:the proper use of plant medicine and psychedelics.
Speaker:But as I've done my own shamanic training, for me
Speaker:it's always felt essential to be able to access
Speaker:those states, those dimensions and those realms without
Speaker:consuming anything. It's almost like if I can't get there without
Speaker:it, a part of me almost feels like a fraud a little bit.
Speaker:Almost like I'm still riding a bike with training wheels, but I haven't really
Speaker:learned how to ride the bike. That'd be good. And so I'm wondering if you
Speaker:also feel like it's important that if someone wants to
Speaker:explore the realm of shamanism, that they really go
Speaker:through non medicine type initiations. This sounds like an
Speaker:initiation. Yeah, 100%. And that's exactly what the three year advanced training
Speaker:is. We went through initiation after initiation. Some of the things I'm not allowed to
Speaker:talk about because they were so profound and they want to wait until you're a
Speaker:student. But things were, it just, I mean, I was like trying to figure out
Speaker:how in the world did that just happen? Like, and then you realize, no,
Speaker:when you call on spirit, spirit comes and if you're willing it
Speaker:can actually help you, it can heal you, it can move you. It
Speaker:can. If there's so much power in this dimension. And
Speaker:yeah, it's mind blowing, you know, and we kind of disregard it
Speaker:as like, oh, that's this old ancient thing. And those are such
Speaker:primitive people. And now we have advanced technologies and science. But
Speaker:wow, there is so much power. And I was grateful
Speaker:to have a really good teachers and see some. Really? Yeah. Thanks. And
Speaker:you know, in regards to psychedelics, psychedelics can show
Speaker:you those areas and sometimes in a way they always like, okay, I
Speaker:can use that to get to that point. But then learning how to use your
Speaker:mind to get there and not having to use it. And like you said, that
Speaker:can be a tool to jump start you into seeing things that you aren't able
Speaker:to see before. But ultimately the real work is when you're not on those drugs
Speaker:and when you're doing these things sober and able to access all these
Speaker:planes. Yeah. I remember hearing once that
Speaker:Ram Dass's teacher Maharaji would say to Ram Dass, you know,
Speaker:if you use psychedelics, you can enter the room
Speaker:with Buddha and Christ, but you can only stay for a few minutes.
Speaker:Yeah. And that's always been in the back of my mind of,
Speaker:okay, these are beautiful medicines, but it's only a temporary
Speaker:stay. Yeah, yeah. And when you learn how to do it with
Speaker:your mind without anything, you can enter at any time and stay as long as
Speaker:you want. Yeah, yeah. And that's really the work I do with people.
Speaker:And I. I work even remotely and I can tap into these areas.
Speaker:I do a lot of work where I talk to deceased relatives as well.
Speaker:And I love that kind of work because it's valid, like,
Speaker:and they know it's valid because they know the relatives and I don't. And when
Speaker:I start saying things the relatives used to say, then they're like, well, how the
Speaker:hell would Angie know that? Or they tell me something and I have to go
Speaker:look at this. And then they do it and they're like, yeah, that was valid.
Speaker:That's why I love it. And like, I love having work where people can back
Speaker:it up and they. There's no way Angie would know that. And that's when you
Speaker:know. Yeah. And life becomes so much more
Speaker:magical. Yeah. And that's why I teach nature divination
Speaker:as well. And it's like, nature, plant, animal, they're always talking
Speaker:to you, and if you listen, it will enhance your life. I tell people
Speaker:that when you work with nature and animal, you're never alone.
Speaker:In today's day and age, I feel most people are lonely. They don't feel they're
Speaker:connected. Get out in the nature and connect your
Speaker:feet on the ground and start listening to the birds or the messages. They have
Speaker:the messages in the trees and it's like life becomes so
Speaker:magical and like, I live my whole life that way. I'm always looking out my
Speaker:windows thinking, what animals are coming to me to share a message with me because
Speaker:it's going to enhance my life in some way.
Speaker:Yeah. I would love for you to
Speaker:just break down briefly. In shamanism, there's the lower world,
Speaker:middle world and upper worlds. And in shamanism,
Speaker:we do various practices to travel to those dimensions.
Speaker:Would you be open to just sharing a little kind of
Speaker:summary? Give us a little kind of tour of what the lower
Speaker:worlds, middle worlds and upper worlds are in shamanism.
Speaker:Yeah, for sure. So upper world is kind of, you know, the way we, like.
Speaker:People always say, I'm going to go to heaven. Heaven is kind of like the
Speaker:upper world, upper world, when I see it, very angelic
Speaker:realm, angels, saints. For me it feels very sterile and
Speaker:like that realm of white light and everything.
Speaker:The lower world is not hell. In fact, I enjoyed the lower
Speaker:world more. It's more jungle and vegetation, nature,
Speaker:animals. I'm like, oh, put me in the jungle, man, this is great.
Speaker:And so people can be reside in the upper world, lower world.
Speaker:And you don't have to decide when you die. Oh, I'm going to go to
Speaker:the upper world. And you're stuck there. It's kind of like being born in California,
Speaker:where I can decide to go to Canada and visit you. It's like you don't.
Speaker:You're not getting stuck there, you're just this where your destination is at the beginning,
Speaker:but you can travel. So if you're upper world, sure, go to the lower world.
Speaker:So that's typically where we go upper and lower. And the middle world
Speaker:is where we're at now that we are living our life in the middle
Speaker:world. But what happens is when someone dies unexpectedly,
Speaker:then they get stuck in the middle world. And that's why you'll see ghosts, because
Speaker:they're not aware that they actually died. So they're still living their life,
Speaker:but they're not fully present. So they'll see them in that middle world.
Speaker:So a lot of psychopomp work that was done in a lot of religions
Speaker:was to remove your relatives from the middle world and release their
Speaker:soul so they can go back and go back into their. Well, they wouldn't read
Speaker:the heaven but to the other worlds. And so that's kind of the three
Speaker:designations. And so you can work at any of these three levels. And
Speaker:typically the middle world, when you're talking to people, like if I'm. I
Speaker:energetically see people, sometimes they're good people, sometimes they're lost
Speaker:souls because they're just walking earth still. And they don't know what to do
Speaker:or where to go, why they're even there. And so you can find a lot
Speaker:of strange beings in that realm. When you go to
Speaker:places like if someone has that like ability to clairsentience and they feel
Speaker:things, they might get a lot of chills or you might go to like a
Speaker:haunted house or a place where something has been bombed, Pearl harbor
Speaker:or something, and you go to these, travel to these places where a lot of
Speaker:people had died, you'll usually feel those souls still there.
Speaker:And I immediately will know when I'm in a place that's haunted. Because I'll be.
Speaker:Oh, there's souls still here. And you can feel them still lingering around,
Speaker:doing their thing and sometimes minding their business, sometimes not,
Speaker:you know, and so that's kind of the distinction between those realms.
Speaker:Yeah. One thing I notice when their soul is stuck in the
Speaker:middle world is when you pass by them, there's a big change in
Speaker:temperature. Yeah.
Speaker:Yes. Often almost like it gets. It drops. Like it gets cooler.
Speaker:Yeah. In fact, just recently, we had a cat die a
Speaker:couple weeks ago. It got killed by a coyote. And this was our. Her,
Speaker:Ash. And she was this badass cat, and Paul really liked her, and she started
Speaker:getting really comfortable with Paul's office. And that was kind of funny because Paul's not
Speaker:really an animal person, but he was adopting Ash to stay in his office.
Speaker:But at night, she was just. Had this free spirit. She wanted to hunt.
Speaker:And apparently one night was that she got attacked by a bunch of
Speaker:coyotes and didn't make it. But because she was such a bad. I don't think
Speaker:she realized she died. And so. But energetically, I'm
Speaker:connected to all my animals. So I didn't hear the coyotes that night. But that
Speaker:morning I woke up, I'm like, where's Ash? Like, I knew. Even though she's not
Speaker:always in the house, I knew something up. And when I was like, oh, my
Speaker:son's like, I just saw her. I'm like, no, you didn't. I mean, something's up.
Speaker:And so I mentioned to Paul, have you seen Ash? She goes, no, but I
Speaker:did hear coyotes this morning, and they were making that sound like they. They caught
Speaker:something. I'm like, I think it was Ash. And so the very next morning, I
Speaker:was walking over to Paul's office, and sometimes we get up early, so we're with
Speaker:the flashlight, and I saw this apparition, which I'd never seen before. It was like
Speaker:a light being of a cat through my flashlight. And I
Speaker:went. But it wasn't a fully figured cat, but it was moving
Speaker:like a cat. And I'm like, oh, that's Ash. And then when I opened the
Speaker:door, I could feel it go into the. Into his office space
Speaker:with me. And so I was in there turning on everything for Paul. And
Speaker:all of a sudden, I even heard a cat. And I'm like. And it was
Speaker:so real because. And. But then I do talk to the other side a lot.
Speaker:So I hear voices. Just like, they're here. And I'm like, that's a cat. And
Speaker:I'm like, wait a Minute, maybe she's stuck in a closet in here. Maybe she
Speaker:got stuck in the library. So I went in the library, opened it, opened up
Speaker:the closets, and there was none. I'm like. And then Paul came in afterwards and
Speaker:we're talking and he has the ability to see as well. And we are sitting
Speaker:there and he was having this espresso, I was having my tea and we both
Speaker:looked down and we looked, we went like this and we both energetically saw this
Speaker:cat run past us. And so, yeah, so these animals
Speaker:can also be in the spirit world. Just like you would see a human
Speaker:if they were in that house before they could be still washing their dishes. And
Speaker:we'd be like, whoa, we see this person here. Yeah.
Speaker:Yes. It's interesting that you and I are having this
Speaker:podcast today because my great Pyrenees passed away about four days
Speaker:ago. Oh. And she was, she was
Speaker:actually quite young. She was only four. Oh, no. And she and I
Speaker:were very close, but even the next day I was able to
Speaker:really connect with her in the spirit world. And
Speaker:so I really feel like these, I don't want to say abilities
Speaker:because they're actually skills that you can develop. A lot of people think
Speaker:that these are just talents or gifts that some people have, but
Speaker:others don't. But I truly believe that we can all develop them
Speaker:because what it, what we're really doing is we're accessing
Speaker:just almost like another radio station, like another
Speaker:frequency. And it's not like they're out there and we're
Speaker:here. It's just like another click of frequency that you're tuning
Speaker:into, which we can all do it. Almost like we're an antenna
Speaker:system picking up different kind of radio waves. And
Speaker:so would you say shamanism is very much building a
Speaker:bridge between worlds? Yes, definitely. That's
Speaker:what you're doing. You're strengthening. It's kind of like the analogy I like to give
Speaker:people is like, if you go to the gym, you're not going to initially pick
Speaker:up the a hundred pound dumbbells and start slinging those around. You're going to start
Speaker:with like the 10 pound dumbbells and then graduate to 20s and 30s.
Speaker:And over time you'll be able to lift some really heavy stuff.
Speaker:So I said, when people are trying to learn how to do this, start
Speaker:gently, start with, with little things. Use your intuition more,
Speaker:connect with that, see if you're getting insights, listen to your hunches, you know,
Speaker:and that sort of thing. Over time you're going to develop a muscle, you know,
Speaker:energetic muscle that can allow you to start seeing. Some people do better with
Speaker:seeing. Some are hearing, some are feeling, and they'll start
Speaker:developing that. But it's not something that, oh, I wasn't born with that gift. No,
Speaker:everybody has the ability to do this. They just don't. And so they've never
Speaker:used it, they never go to the gym, they can't lift a weight. But over
Speaker:time, and I find that the more you practice, the
Speaker:more the helping spirits want to hang out with you. Now, if you were on
Speaker:the other side and you were a helping spirit, would you hang out with someone
Speaker:who doesn't practice? No, that would be a waste of your time. What
Speaker:involves, they're like, oh, look at this Angie girl. She's doing all these things every
Speaker:single week. Let's hang out with her. There's some excitement there. These people are wanting
Speaker:to get this done and so you're fine that you develop a relationship and
Speaker:they want to help you because you're helping them and so their energy's working
Speaker:through you. And I always tell that to people. It's not me doing the work,
Speaker:it's the helping, the spirits working through me, you know, and as soon as
Speaker:people get cocky and says it's there doing the healing, that's when they stop you.
Speaker:You're doing it, go ahead, girl, we'll sit back and let you watch you do
Speaker:it. And then you're like, I'm not getting results anymore. So you have to. And,
Speaker:and that's like when I went to school to for my shamanic training at
Speaker:the end of the three year program, they didn't give me a diploma hanging on
Speaker:my wall. They said, we're not giving diplomas because it's up to the
Speaker:community to decide if you're a shaman. So you can call yourself
Speaker:a shamanic practitioner, meaning I am practicing shamanism,
Speaker:but only the community can call you a shaman. And that's through
Speaker:proof. And that title can be gone any day based on
Speaker:how you're acting. So you have to be humble, you have to be open
Speaker:to recognizing it's not you, it's something through you. And the minute
Speaker:you start thinking it's ego and you, then they walk away and go,
Speaker:you're on your own. Right? So yeah, so that's what I love
Speaker:about shamanism. It's a relationship, you know, it's like your friend. If you don't call
Speaker:your friend up all the time, then when you call them, there's nothing to talk
Speaker:about because you don't know them anymore. But if you Hang out with them, you
Speaker:get to know them. You can have deep conversations because you've
Speaker:developed that relationship. Yeah, that's beautiful.
Speaker:One thing I'd love for you to speak towards, because, you know,
Speaker:you're the head instructor for
Speaker:Holistic Lifestyle Coach at the Czech Institute, and so you
Speaker:teach a lot about the Four Doctors Six Foundation Principles.
Speaker:And one thing I'd love for you to speak towards is, you know, when
Speaker:we're talking about these skills of shamanism and
Speaker:connecting with other realms, higher dimensions, and working with spirits, a
Speaker:lot of it, from my experience, is the
Speaker:healthier we become, the more of a clear vessel we
Speaker:can be for some of this work, and the healthier we
Speaker:are, it's like the clearer the signal becomes. Yes.
Speaker:Whereas the body gets unhealthy, more toxic.
Speaker:It's almost like the windshield of the car becomes dirty
Speaker:and cloudy and you can't see clearly. So I'd love for
Speaker:you to speak to really, the importance of Four Doctors
Speaker:Six Foundation Principles to clear the lens
Speaker:so you can become that vessel with clear sight.
Speaker:Yeah, no, that's great, because oftentimes I share with the students. Everybody wants to
Speaker:do Psychedelic Journey these days. And I'm like, listen, if you are not
Speaker:cleaning up your diet and getting your body right, your mind is not going to
Speaker:be able to project the images properly. And the analogy would be like,
Speaker:back in the day when I grew up, we had bunny ears, like little antennas
Speaker:on top of our tv, and when you change the channel, you had to change
Speaker:the ears and you don't get the right signal. So if you
Speaker:don't have a clear antenna, which is a healthy body, that's
Speaker:going to scramble it up and you're not going to see a good signal. So
Speaker:you're thinking you see what you're seeing, but you're not. And those images
Speaker:get very scary. So oftentimes people have really bad trips because
Speaker:they're like, oh, there's demons are trying to attack me and stuff. I'm like, you
Speaker:couldn't see what really was there. So get yourself clean
Speaker:so that you can actually have a clean screen so you can see what's really
Speaker:being told to you. So, yeah. So the four doctors, if your
Speaker:listeners don't know who the four doctors. Dr. Happy getting your mind right.
Speaker:What makes you happy? Having a dream in life. Dr.
Speaker:Movement. Moving your body. We're human beings and we have to move our body. We
Speaker:have a physical form, so it doesn't mean lots of exercise. 20, 30 minutes
Speaker:a day can probably do it for most, but most People don't even get
Speaker:that. So moving the body, Dr. Diet, eating right,
Speaker:the right food for you. And through our training, we tell you what, help you
Speaker:with questionnaires to figure out what's the right diet for you. Because nowadays it's
Speaker:like, well, should I eat this way? High protein, low carb, low fat,
Speaker:vegan, vegetarian, paleo, you know, it goes on and on and on. It's
Speaker:like, well, what's right for me? So we have questionnaires to say, how do I
Speaker:feel the best? And without those questionnaires, you can still do it. It just
Speaker:takes a little longer. But you have to be you know where and just. I
Speaker:tell people, get a journal and write down what you eat. And then 20 minutes
Speaker:later, write down how you feel. You will know in 20 minutes if
Speaker:that food made you feel better or worse. If you're feeling tired, you probably ate
Speaker:the wrong food. If you've got lots of energy and you feel balanced, that's a
Speaker:great food. If you're feeling overly zinging, that's the wrong food as well.
Speaker:It's right in the middle. And so Dr. Diet's important. Then
Speaker:Dr. Quiet, Dr. Quiet is getting enough rest. So many people
Speaker:are like, oh, I only have to sleep four or five hours a night. But
Speaker:that's when we do our healing, our body recovering. So if there's an injury in
Speaker:the body or you're fighting off an infection or something, you need to heal. Not
Speaker:only just physical healing, but psychological healing. And if those things
Speaker:aren't taking care of it, the nighttime, it's like having, like you said, dirty screens.
Speaker:It's like, what's his name? There's a doctor that
Speaker:talks about the glial cells in the brain and he says
Speaker:that glial cells need to be cleaned every night. And if you don't get enough
Speaker:sleep, they get dirty. And then now you can't think
Speaker:straight. You're foggy in the mind. And so all we need to do is sleep
Speaker:and it's free. But yet people are deciding that it's not important because they're not
Speaker:making money in that time. We talk about the four doctors and then extend into
Speaker:the six foundation principles which you mentioned, which is thinking,
Speaker:breathing thorough, getting your. If you're not breathing right, there's several things that are going
Speaker:on. You might be eating too much sugar, you might be under too much stress.
Speaker:So figure out why are you breathing too fast? Some people breathe too slow,
Speaker:not really participating in life. And then we have eating and
Speaker:drinking. So ideally it's drinking water Clear food. Like I
Speaker:have herbal tea, I drink, but I also have spring water here next to me.
Speaker:And I'm always making sure I've got enough hydration. You know, they say our
Speaker:body's over 70% water and if you're not getting enough water,
Speaker:your body can't function. They say there's over 600 billion
Speaker:biochemical reactions going on per second in your body that are
Speaker:all water dependent. And some people I talk to say, I don't drink
Speaker:water. What do you drink? Coffee and tea? Soda.
Speaker:And I always ask them, well, when you wash your clothes, do you put
Speaker:water in your washing machine? Yeah. You don't put Coke in there? Your
Speaker:coffee? No, that wouldn't make my clothes clean. I'm like, exactly. When you do
Speaker:your dishes, do you wash them in soda? No, that make them sticky. Well then
Speaker:why are you washing your body in soda? I think it's Mark Hyman
Speaker:says the solution to pollution's dilution. So drinking more water
Speaker:to dilute the toxins that we're constantly being exposed to.
Speaker:Food, getting organic, good quality food. Get the best food you can with the
Speaker:less human intervention. Right. And it's like
Speaker:we're always trying to splice things, make it bigger, better, tastier,
Speaker:and let's just get natural foods back in our body. And
Speaker:then sleep, you know, so movement and sleep, those are those foundation principles. And
Speaker:if you're not getting those, you're out of balance. And as you said, the, when
Speaker:you're out of balance, your mind and your body are one. And
Speaker:so if your body's sick, it's always your mind. And then when you're trying
Speaker:to see in these dimensions, you're not going to see clearly or you're not going
Speaker:to feel like you can do it at all, or you can't stay focused enough
Speaker:to actually get the message. Yeah. You know, obviously in
Speaker:conventional Western medicine there's a lot of, you know, we say
Speaker:putting the cart before the horse, prescribing meds before
Speaker:diet, exercise, sleep. But also in the plant medicine
Speaker:world, there's a little bit of putting the cart before the horse, of
Speaker:doing deep medicine journeys before just a 20
Speaker:minute working in practice or a 20 minute meditation
Speaker:practice. So I love how you and Paul, even though you teach
Speaker:shamanism and you teach all of these beautiful skills, you always
Speaker:set the foundation first and you kind of make sure
Speaker:the four doctors, almost like four legs of a table are set
Speaker:first and then everything else is kind of built on top of that, Right?
Speaker:Yeah. You know, and it's amazing how the mind. It's like
Speaker:when you go. You start looking at the body, it always comes
Speaker:to the mind. It's. The mind is bound with, the body heals. It's when we
Speaker:get our head in the way that creates anxiety, tension,
Speaker:fear. And it creates the signals to your body that something's wrong and the
Speaker:body starts to attack itself. Like the other day I was doing a
Speaker:biogeometry reading on a friend of mine. She's in her 70s, and
Speaker:she's a meditator, and she meditates every day. And all her organs were
Speaker:beautifully balanced. And I'm like, wow, you are amazing. And
Speaker:so there was very little that was out of balance in her body.
Speaker:It's like most people needed about 20, 30 signatures, and she five. And they were
Speaker:small things, you know, it was just like nothing doing with the organ. And that
Speaker:was a tribute to that mind, body connection. And for those
Speaker:listening, you know, I think that if you really want to dive into these rounds,
Speaker:start with meditation. Get your mind to quiet. When you quiet your
Speaker:mind, then you can start to hear again, you can start to feel again, you
Speaker:can start to sense again. And then that whole world opens up to you. And
Speaker:it's not easy. I remember when I first started meditating, it was like, oh, I
Speaker:learned about this meditation thing. All. All these successful people I knew were meditating.
Speaker:It was hard for me. Cause I think, like, most, like, there's two
Speaker:switches on or off. It's like I'd go like hell or fall asleep.
Speaker:And I remember, like, I was in my early 20s, and I'm like, I couldn't
Speaker:even stay awake in a movie because the minute I sat down and started like,
Speaker:oh, it must be sleep time. I'm like, if I can't stay awake in a
Speaker:movie when I'm 20, imagine when I'm like 80, right? So I was like. So
Speaker:I recognized that this was important. And it took me months before
Speaker:I could actually sit still for 20 minutes to meditate. But I just stuck with
Speaker:it. Every day I'm like, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this
Speaker:until my mind and my body stopped fighting it. And I don't know which one
Speaker:was worse. It was just like, okay, we'll do this. And then it's like,
Speaker:it's not that I have to. I get to have this timeout in my day.
Speaker:I get to spend 20 minutes in silence to be
Speaker:with myself. And when you switch over that thought that I get to.
Speaker:Instead of, I have to. That's when the magic starts happening. And then next thing
Speaker:I knew, I could meditate for hours on end. I'm like, where was I? I
Speaker:was gone for two hours. Whoa. You know, it was powerful.
Speaker:You might find that your listeners will be fighting it at first and it's just
Speaker:to stick with it. Yeah, absolutely. One of the
Speaker:practices that we do in shamanism is soul
Speaker:retrieval. And in shamanism they talk about
Speaker:soul loss, where let's say someone experiences a trauma,
Speaker:some aspect of their psyche, fragments off and gets almost
Speaker:frozen in time, stuck in that trauma. It doesn't develop patterns past
Speaker:that point. And so they might be 45
Speaker:years old, but there's a nine year old fragment that's still stuck in
Speaker:the past. And so I've seen this
Speaker:to be a huge cause of a lot of mental illness,
Speaker:a lot of anxiety, a lot of depression, a lot of adhd.
Speaker:Because I find what happens is the, the
Speaker:psyche starts to create a protective system around that
Speaker:fragment, whether it's hypervigilance
Speaker:or ADHD or like I said, chronic anxiety.
Speaker:I'd love for you to share a little bit about your experience
Speaker:working with soul loss, soul retrieval, and
Speaker:how that has a huge impact on people's mental health.
Speaker:Yeah, I do a lot of soul retrievals. That's my other specialties.
Speaker:And basically any time in a person's life where they
Speaker:felt like they were going to die could be a reason they have so lost,
Speaker:like a car accident, some significant event where they thought they were going to lose
Speaker:their life. The soul kind of spits out of the body and goes, oh, I
Speaker:don't want to be experience that pain. And then it doesn't die and then that
Speaker:part still stays out of the body. Times in their life where they
Speaker:thought they were going to die or wish they were going to die. So times
Speaker:where you're like, things are so bad, I don't know the end, I can't get
Speaker:out of the situation. It'd be better just to end my life. That feeling, that
Speaker:part, part of you dissociates from you.
Speaker:We also see at times when they didn't feel like they belonged.
Speaker:So like with family gatherings and stuff, or they feel like an
Speaker:outsider school events where they just feel like they weren't part of the tribe
Speaker:that can create soul loss. And also times, I always say,
Speaker:when they can't stop thinking about it. A time in your life where you keep
Speaker:on going back to. And you're like, my mind just keeps back to that time
Speaker:I was 9 or whatever age it was. That's usually Indicating
Speaker:some soul loss. And so the way I like to explain is
Speaker:it's like kind of like Groundhog Day. That part of you gets
Speaker:detached and it's reliving that moment day in and day out.
Speaker:So maybe you were physically abused as a child, that there's part of that person,
Speaker:they may be, like you said, 50 years old, they're still getting physically abused by
Speaker:their father day in, day out. And it's affecting them in the now
Speaker:because that there's part of them still there. And so what we do is we
Speaker:energetically go back together. It's kind of like a meditative state I put them in
Speaker:and we go to that time to talk with that part
Speaker:of them and bring it back into the now. Super
Speaker:healing. Because now they can let that part of them rest, that
Speaker:part of them that was agitated, always on, is now relaxed and they can let
Speaker:go and say, okay, that was my past. And staying in the path. I am
Speaker:in the now, I am safe now, I am no longer that.
Speaker:And I find that I always start, like you said, the foundation
Speaker:levels. And when that is, there's still something lingering,
Speaker:something's not quite right. Their vitality isn't a hundred percent yet. What's holding
Speaker:back. It's usually soul fragments. And we go back,
Speaker:change that, that can change their world. And I see it instantly,
Speaker:immediately after a session, they're like, I feel
Speaker:different, I feel something has changed and that change
Speaker:continues to last and that it's powerful. I was going to write a book on
Speaker:all my stories on that because I've seen so many lives change and
Speaker:it's, it's so interlinked with, like you said, the environment
Speaker:as well. So our mind, emotions are linked. I always like to share a story
Speaker:about a client I had in England. And she was
Speaker:working with me for a couple of years and what happened was over time she
Speaker:was like, you know, I haven't shared with you. I tell people when they're coaching
Speaker:people, it's like unpeeling an onion. They come to you with this problem and you
Speaker:help them solve that problem. And there's an underlying problem, another laying problem. And usually
Speaker:the deeper ones are the ones who don't want to talk about them. And all
Speaker:of a sudden they feel safe enough. I'm like, let me share this thing with
Speaker:you. And so this particular client said, you know, I have this anxiety every day
:00'. Clock. And I'm like, what? She was, that's why I work from home,
:because I had two o', clock, I have to take a break. I have to
:lay down. I can't answer the phone. It just rattles my bones. I've been to
:counselors, psychologists, but on medication. And it's always at the time
:I'm like, that sounds like either soul loss. But for me that's also
:sound like past life. So I also do past life
:aggression. And in that particular case, it was past life where she,
:her past life was in the military, got shot down. She was an air force
:pilot. And so when her plane went down, it was at 2 o'
:clock in the afternoon. And we were able to see that event and
:recognize it. And actually there was soul locked there too, which is the first time
:I'd seen something like that. It's like people always say, have you ever seen this?
:And I never say it's not possible because just when I say, oh, that doesn't
:happen. It happened. And so this was like a full retrieval and a past
:life regression all in one. And it was like, wow. She
:fragmented into her past life. And so she was not fully present in this
:life and had to retrieve that fragment into this life.
:And in industry that her all her pain went away and
:her anxiety, she was able to function. She never had a problem again. This has
:been years later. And it was just like that. It was just like we had
:to bring that fragment back. And another story comes to mind about
:a lady who had a miscarriage. And when we went back,
:there can be soul loss and it can be linked to another
:soul. So a fetus can be still in your field. And she
:had bought this tree in her house when she lost the baby, and she planted
:in her backyard. And the tree never did good. And the gardener was always saying,
:cut down that tree, you know, it's just, it's not doing well. She's like, no,
:leave that tree, leave that tree. And he was like, whatever. And so for years
:the gardener was like, this tree doesn't isn't doing well. And it was for tribute
:to this child. So she's like, no, that tree stays. And after we did the
:work, within a week later, the tree starts to flourish.
:And the gardener knocks on the door and it's like, hey,
:what did you do to this tree? She said, what? And she went out there
:and it was full of blossoms for the first time ever in his life. And
:she's like, you know, I could have told him of all the stuff we did.
:She goes, she's like, oh yeah, I just put some fertilizer in it. She didn't
:know what to Say, because it was like, it was so out there, what she
:had done to make this tree come back. But it was that connection to that
:soul and releasing that soul and the tree with the connection
:to that soul. And all of a sudden, this tree was alive and well for
:the first time ever. Amazing. Yeah. And those are the
:stories that kind of make things almost undeniable. Right. It's like, how
:can you explain that? Here's this tree never got better, and now we do this
:work, and a week later, it's healing. Beautiful.
:One of the questions that I have for you is,
:obviously you do a lot of shamanic work, a lot of healing work, and you're
:also a mother to two beautiful children.
:And one of the things that I've seen with my focus being
:a lot around mental health, is a lot of children
:and young adults expressing certain
:symptoms that are being pathologized as, like, mental
:illness, whether it's anxiety or even
:sometimes like, schizophrenia and things like that. And a lot of times
:they'll come to me and I'll get this intuitive sense
:that they actually carry a lot of psychic gifts
:and they're actually existing
:at a vibrational state on a soul level
:that they haven't yet really integrated into their
:physiology, into the nervous system. And so
:it's almost like the symptoms of mental illness are
:actually symptoms of spiritual awakening. And I'm
:seeing this more and more in young people. So I'm really
:curious, as a shaman and as a mother,
:what have you seen? What have you sensed in terms of
:some of what we're seeing with younger children or young
:adults? That's actually a little bit more of a spiritual crisis
:than a mental illness. Yeah. They say in mental hospitals,
:most of the patients are actually shamans that don't know it, you know, and
:so they don't have a place in society. And they think, oh, they're crazy. Let's
:just put them away. But the voices in their hand are actually real, and
:the things they're seeing are actually happening at a different frequency.
:And so they're like, this must be crazy. But, no, it's fairly
:valid. And nowadays, I think we're seeing a lot more children with these gifts because
:the world needs them. We need to shift gears. We need to
:change our mindset. We need to start looking deeper. And
:so we're seeing a lot of them, as, I think they were called Indigo children
:for a while. And there's just vibrational children that are showing up, rainbow
:children. All these things are coming in. And I think that there isn't really
:a place for them, which is kind of a sad thing because if they don't
:have someone who's doing the kind of work that could be a very scary
:situation for a child where they might actually experience
:soul loss. And I have actually seen in my work that
:powerful, powerful people often are exposed
:to entities or dark forces at a young age because
:they want to off center them before they notice how, what their
:gifts are. And I'm like, wow, this person was
:attacked energetically because of, they knew that this person had
:the gift to do such and such. And so I think that they,
:I wish there was more guidance for all these children because if they stepped
:into their power at a young age, they wouldn't be off roaded, you know, because
:these kids go into drugs, into medications, all sorts of things. They might
:self medicate because they don't know how to react or fit into society.
:And if they realize, hey, you are actually here with a big
:mission. You have a, you came here with a lot of knowledge and you
:need to ground yourself and learn about what it is, be human so you can
:share that. The world would be so different. Yeah.
:And so what would your advice, recommendation or
:guidance be for parents that have young
:children that might be carrying some of these gifts
:but either they don't know it or their parents are not aware of it.
:What would you advise in terms of how to
:raise children that are carrying some of these gifts but also
:might be expressing symptoms of anxiety or
:things that could potentially be pathologized? Yeah. At
:first I would say don't poo poo it. You know, like a lot of times
:parents like oh, there's no person there that's you, that's just an imaginary friend. That's
:not make believe. Open your heart and say, well tell me
:about this little person or what is it that they're saying? And validate
:that they're, whatever they're saying or feeling is real and see what they share with
:you. If a child feels safe, they'll share more. And you
:might find like, oh my gosh, they're talking to my grandmother. You know, it might
:be find out that they're actually very valid. But you don't take the time because
:you're like I don't have time for this. They're acting crazy. I also feel
:like limiting their social media, the screens
:that creates way too much better than a child. All children, whether how
:gifted they are, they're all affected by social media. My
:kids go to a wilder school and we have times where we
:Zero media for a whole month. I can see a significant difference in my
:child when they're not on a screen, when they go back to seeing
:a screen, even if it's just a little bit like they don't watch TV Monday
:through Thursday and it's Friday, Saturday and Sunday, only in small amounts.
:But I can see a change in them from the weekend. It's like they immediately
:can't do simple tasks. They can't think about what shoes to wear. They
:can't get themselves dressed. They're agitated. It's overwhelming to do
:simple tasks around the house. As soon as we take away the screen.
:Wow. They're fully capable of doing all these things. So I think
:part of it is too much stimuli. So they're getting stimulated on these different dimensions
:and they're getting overstimulated in these screens. And it's just too much
:for a small child because they haven't fully come into their body. Like at the
:Waldorf School, they talk about it. It takes usually seven years for a child to
:a soul to fully get into a human being. And they
:do testing to see when they're ready to go into first grade, because if they're
:not fully in the body, they stay and play in
:kindergarten until they're ready. And often we're like, oh, you're five
:years old. Go to first grade right away because you. Let's teach you how to
:read and do all this stuff. It's like, what's wrong with letting them play for
:a couple more years? So Walter says, wait till they're seven, till
:they go to first grade. Why are we rushing life, why are we
:rushing them into thinking and doing all these things? So
:get them to spend more time in nature. I think that's a key thing, is
:get them away from all the buzz, and you'll see that's going to have significant
:effects. Take out all the additives, chemicals, preservatives, dyes in the
:food. That's going to change your child. And then, you know, seek help.
:Find someone who is maybe a holistic lifestyle coach or someone who has these skills
:that I do, someone who can help them and maybe connect to
:their child and help them understand what they're going through.
:Yeah. Beautiful. And so, Angie, thank you so much.
:It's such an incredible conversation. And so if people
:would like to learn more about your work or they're interested in some
:coaching with you, where would you like to direct them? Let's give them my
:angieeckinstitute.com address.
:I get a lot of emails and so I always tell people, if they email
:me and I don't respond within a week, email me again. Because it's
:typical. I have over 20,000 emails in my mailbox at
:a time. I thought about hiring someone, but people
:send me such confidential information, like when we do soul retrieval. They
:tell me about their most significant events. It's not something I can trust another
:person with. So I'm like, I have to do my emails myself because of
:the content that's in there. So email me. If I don't get them, email
:me again. You can also reach out to me on social media. I don't check
:all the time. I'm not on social media all the time, but I do go
:into Facebook, so Messenger or Instagram. I
:do check that every once in a while. So those are other ways they can
:connect to me. Beautiful. Any
:parting messages that you'd like to share? Oh,
:my favorite thing to tell people is just being you.
:Everybody else you take in.
:I love to share. The story I like to give is about if you were
:a peach tree grower and you had the most beautiful peaches on the planet
:and you grew any just beautiful peaches, inevitably there's
:someone who just doesn't like peaches. Don't spend your life trying to
:convince them to like peaches when there's so many people who love peaches.
:Find your people, find your tribe, be you and
:watch the magic happen. Beautiful, Angie, thank you so much for coming on the
:show. Welcome. It's great to be here.
