Why microdose with ritual and reverence?

This week’s show is a special one in which Be Mythical Soul Guide Sara J. Sanderson interviewed Lian about microdosing in a way that brings consciousness, reverence and ritual to the relationship with the teacher plant concerned.

Lian and Sara begin by exploring the usually stated benefits of microdosing, such as reducing anxiety and stress, and opening up creativity, then delve into the deeper question of why microdosing might have these effects.

They then talk the importance of developing a conscious relationship with the teacher plant, and the unique nature of each individual's relationship with the teacher plant.

The conversation concludes with a reflection on the purpose of microdosing, within the context of doing the Great Work of individuation and union.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Microdosing has known benefits such as reducing anxiety and stress and enhancing creativity but when we enter a conscious relationship with the teacher plant concerned we might open to deeper benefits.

• Each individual's relationship with the teacher plant is unique and requires conscious awareness and intention - when we work with ritual, we begin a conversation with the teacher plant concerned, the first steps of creating a conscious relationship.

• Working with teacher plants is a gift that requires deep respect and a willingness to do the work, which includes taking action on the guidance received… And of course, the purpose of doing this work goes far beyond reducing stress or increasing creativity… It is to illuminate, heal, live out our unique myth, and experience union.

Resources and stuff they spoke about:

• The conversation with Jessica Howard on How to embark on the journey of working with a spirit or deity.

• The episode on The Great Work they mentioned.

New guest Mike Bais is a physiotherapist, counselor, university lecturer and author, also having had his own practice for many years. He is a trained priest in the esoteric christian tradition, which lead him to follow the mystical side of this lineage called the A.S.A. (Apostolic Succession of Arimathea). He believes that the Teachings of Christ are universal and should not be limited to a religious structure.

His esoteric training comes from the western mystery tradition and the Toledano Kabbalah. 

Mike is the author of 3 books: Paths on the Tree of Wisdom – A course in 21st Century Kabbalah, A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 1 and A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 2.

In this show, Mike and Lian discuss the relevance of the Kabbalah Tree of Life to the path of the soul in today’s modern world.

The Tree of Life is a central concept in Kabbalah, representing universal principles that can be applied to any person or spiritual path - it provides a mirror that reflects the 10 principles of life and the modes of experience. The Kabbalah provides a complete path for those in the Western tradition, offering a way to relate inner realities to the modern world and move towards unity.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• The Toledano Kabbalah is a branch of Kabbalah that is inclusive, universal, and pragmatic, it provides a map for understanding the path of the soul and the different levels of reality that can be relevant and available to anyone, regardless of their background.

• The material world, including the body, is seen as an expression of divinity in Kabbalah, and so it is an immanent as well as transcendent path.

• The Kabbalah provides a complete path for those in the West, offering a way towards what might be described as awakening, enlightenment or unity, in the same way Eastern traditions do.

The LIVE making of Lian's monthly solo show All The Everything (ATE) is recorded in our Facebook group and for the first 30mins before Lian hits the record button you are invited to a pre-show party to get up close and personal with Lian and have your questions on the show's topic answered.

To receive a reminder of when the pre-show party and LIVE making of ATE is happening, make sure you’re subscribed to our email list and are a member of the Facebook group. All the details you need are HERE!

In this show, Lian tells the story of the Lindworm, setting the stage for a shamanic and alchemical journey through the tale.

Spoiler alert! The story of the Lindworm follows a prince's quest for a bride, which becomes entangled with the monstrous Lindworm's demand to be married first.

The tale explores themes of infertility, wisdom, rejection, regression, the power of love, and union, and Lian invites listeners to enter the story in a way that allows for these symbols to be revealed in their own psyches and lives to create illumination, understanding, and healing.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• The telling of a story is an alchemical process that brings the tale to life and allows for personal interpretation and reflection, as Joseph Campbell said “A myth is something that has never happened, but is happening all the time.”

• The Lindworm shows the consequences of rejecting and neglecting unwanted aspects of oneself, leading to regression and monstrous manifestations. As Jung said “Every part of us we do not love will regress and become more primitive”

• The Lindworm is emblematic of the journey of individuation, healing, and inner union - and what’s required for that to occur, including the role of wisdom and intuition in guiding one's actions and decisions, and the transformative power of love and acceptance in healing and uniting fragmented parts of the self.

Resources and stuff Lian spoke about:

• The episode about Fox Woman

• The book ‘More Than True’ by Robert Bly

But, what are the ancestors?

Caitlin Matthews, is an internationally renowned author, a teacher of shamanic training programme, a facilitator of Systemic Ritual® and the co-founder of the Foundation for Inspirational and Oracular Studies (FÍOS).

In this conversation, Caitlin and Lian dived deep on the topic of ancestors, the need to include them in our lives and how to do so.

They discuss how different cultures view ancestors, from indigenous people who include land, animals, and nature as ancestors, to Western societies that often only consider immediate human ancestors - and barely have a conscious relationship to them.

They highlight the importance of maintaining a connection with our ancestors and the impact it can have on our sense of belonging and purpose. The conversation also touches on the challenges of reclaiming ancestral relationships and the ‘small print’ that comes with ancestral gifts.

We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Western societies have largely forgotten or ignored ancestors, focusing only on immediate human ancestors… Ancestors are not just human, but can include the land, animals, and nature.
• Reclaiming our ancestral relationships can provide a sense of belonging, purpose, and a deeper understanding of our gifts and who we are.
• Honouring our ancestors involves being thoughtful of future generations and the impact of our actions on them… Becoming good ancestors ourselves.
