Heal Thy Self with Dr. G: Spirit Hacking for Better Health with Shaman Durek

eps. #259 (March 14, 2024)

This podcast gives deep meaning as to why we are burning ourselves out to meet other people's expectations (i.e. perfectionism, people pleasing) and how this can lead to decisions of self destruction due to a lack of awareness of our own selves and our own needs.

The interview with Shamen Durek focus on the relationship we have with ourselves, or the lack of a relationship we have with ourselves because we don't know how to talk to our bodies, or understand our bodies, and explains how wellness trends aren't for everybody. He further explains body awareness and how to use it to understand our emotions, allows us to break free of only analyzing life through our minds.

"You're evolving. People like to make evolution this thing that 'I'm working on myself and then once I do then it's going to be gone...'. You're going to be evolving for all eternity. so get comfortable with evolution. And what does that mean?...That means stop trying to be perfect, because perfection stops evotion. Because perfection means that you don't beleive that you can evolve."

--Shaman Durek on Perfection (about 42 minutes in)

This podcast also has great explanations for people-pleasing and perfectionism and when we understand ourselves better, it's easier to shift our mindset to see things differently and process information that allows you to change with more ease.

You will also hear discussions on main stream religious beliefs, and ancient teachings along with his description and understanding of the universe and energy. If you are on step 1 (negative reel) or step 6 (breaking down the woo-woo), this podcast is great for deeper understanding and perception shifts.

The interviewee Shaman Durek also has written a book titled Spirt Hacking (which m+m has not read or veiwed yet).
