- The Drunken Buddha Podcast exists to help people deepen on their healing or spiritual path by shining an inquisitive light on the ways that modern trauma understanding and ancient spiritual wisdom inform and support each other.
You will hear interviews with experts on trauma (nervous system, somatic therapy, emotional work, shadow work etc.) as well as teachers of spirituality, meditation and body-based practices like yoga. Plus stories of healing and spiritual transformation that help to illuminate the stages of the path along with the traps, joys, challenges and growth along the way.
You can check out the episodes on my main channel or on my website here: www.drunkenbud...
“Absurd carnival of suffering”…brilliant description! The search for enlightenment led me to reject attachments that were actually vital and healthy. The spiritual path I was on at the time encouraged a disembodied approach. That’s why the way you speak about somatic work is so important…it’s the key to fuller healing. I sincerely believe that authentic integration is nearly impossible until we marry the cerebral with the somatic. Very excited for this podcast…thanks for your content! 💜
Yes the somatic stuff has been the key for me, also. Glad you found it ;) - enjoy the interviews!
Excellent breakdown of a difficult topic. I couldn't help but wonder if some people would find themselves asking "how, or why, does meeting emotion head on - and directly feeling it - lead to its resolution?". Do you have a concise answer to that?
Thanks buddy - a belated reply to your excellent question. Think of it this way: imagine that an emotion is a superhero whose mission is to help you survive. Each emotion has a different superpower: fear helps you hide or act with appropriate caution, anger helps you take control or stand up for yourself, sadness helps you signal for help from others, give yourself space when you need it etc.
Each superhero turns up when needed to complete a given mission. When we fully feel the emotion that superhero feels like it has 'completed' its mission - it has been acknowledged, heard and felt. And it can return to superhero land - the emotion integrates, dissolves and actually leaves us feeling stronger and more whole.
If we resist and repress it, it will keep trying over and over again to 'save' you. Even long after the original threat is gone. And we keep having to push these parts away, overall feeling weaker and more fragmented.
Not that concise. But there you go :)
Do you have any physical symptoms when your nervous system was dysregulated?
Many. Arthritis due to crappy posture (holding in rage), addictions, brain fog, fatigue, skin issues like eczema and pityriasis rosea, frequent things like conjunctivitis, cold sores etc. Much of which has lifted (diet also helped a lot - healing the gut).
@drunkenbuddha4456 Ok, I love your channel. I can tell you really know what you are talking about. Is there a channel you would recommend to help heal the gut also?
Thank you. I'm glad! Hilarously, I do. I also struggle with gut problems. I've found Erik Bakker (his channel is called Canxida) to be an incredible source of gut health wisdom that gets to the root issue not just medicating away the symptoms. Look him up! @@gemdroppingaroc
