Host Natasha Levinger and her co-host/husband/producer, Brett welcome Mariana Louis, archetypal taroist, psycho-spiritual educator, sacred feminist and author of Tarot and the Psychology of the Soul. In this episode, they discuss: Healing as a process of clearing out what is in the way of your already whole self How resistance to difficult experiences keeps you from growing from them Shame wants to keep things in the unconscious What is depth psychology and how does it work with the unconscious? Some things may be beyond our ability to every consciously examine Archetypes and how they function in our life How tarot is a communication between your conscious, unconscious, and the collective Mariana wants to move the way people approach the tarot from divination to individuation How seeking "clarity" from the tarot can sometimes just be an attempt at ego validation If your goal when consulting the cards is connection, it will help keep you in the present Learning to connect to your own knowledge can be very daunting, but very rewarding Finding "the better question" instead of "the best answer" when reading the tarot The importance of finding neutrality as much as you can before pulling cards Why Mariana doesn't like it when a tarot deck renames cards to "less scary" things And more!

In this episode, they discuss: How Mark Slaughter features in the Sliding Doors version of Natasha's life The unbelievable true story of Natasha and the belching massage therapist Kayse is the least likely person to work with magic mushrooms She avoided all kinds of mind-altering substances due to gran mal seizure disorder Microdosing healed Kayse's seizures, but also brought a host of other benefits She started a microdosing community during Covid That community effort has grown to include a podcast, a website, and training others to do the work of guiding people through microdosing The different medicines that can be used for microdosing Microdosing is a sub-threshold dose, which means you don't feel altered. It allows you to get the benefits of these medicines in a bite-sized way that is easier to incorporate into your day-to-day life Microdosing is a different experience for everyone How to make sure you're getting the dose you expect How Kayse guides people remotely The gift of everyone going online during the pandemic was being able to spread communities around the globe Some popular misconceptions about these medicines These medicines should not be called "drugs" Are there specific medicines for specific conditions? The power of restful sleep for a regulated central nervous system How modern society contributes to nervous system overload The surprising overlap of microdosing guides with corporate HR The spiritual side of microdosing for Kayse How plant medicine quiets the "me" part of our brains Common misconceptions about microdosing What if microdosing doesn't seem to work?
