Dr Leandra Brady-Walker, the Institute's resident Medical Intuitive, and I discuss the evolving role of intuitive teachers and healers in an age of AI. Leandra shares her journey from a successful chiropractic practice to becoming a medical intuitive in Portugal, and the importance of lived experience and deep knowledge. We explore the potential of AI in diagnosis, noting its limitations and benefits in treating the person. We are delving into the concepts of genius, originality, finding our unique voice and energetic signature, and how easily we can lose these qualities when we hand over our work to AI. But, it's not all bad news for AI. The accuracy of AI as a diagnostic tool far exceeds what humans can achieve alone. But diagnosis is just the beginning. If you're a healer, therapist, spiritual teacher or practitioner or body worker interested in the role of AI in your service, you don't want to miss this rich conversation.In this episode, we discuss:The need for authentic, lineage-based teaching and healingThe radical role of healers as teachersThe importance of teachers being willing to evolve, challenge students, and embrace the discomfort of growth rather than adhering to the falsehood of 'perfection'About LeandraI was born in Sri Lanka, raised in Australia and currently live in Portugal. I am trying really hard to learn Portuguese, but after 1 year I can only order at the shops and cafes. My heritage is Tamil and Portuguese. My grandmother was an Ayurvedic healer but practised as a nurse. Just like her, I pursued a career in Chiropractic as a "legitimate" healer. I love to sing and have won awards for my voice, so if you work with me, I can guarantee you will hear me sing in the form of chanting matra. I have practised in Dublin, Darwin, Ballarat and Tavira. I have won a business award, written 3 books (you can download my ebook here), started multiple businesses, including a paleo birthday cake business and a chiropractic marketing agency, moved countries (twice) and states (three times) and mothered 2 amazing girls. And after all that...I've ended up here.Connect with Leandra:www.leandrabradywalker.comwww.lumosenergybody.comlinkedin.com/in/leandra-brady-walker-67757b24instagram.com/dr_leandrabwFind out more about our Acarya Program here:http://instituteforintuitiveintelligence.com/certified-intuition-teacher
