Viewer warning: Sam and I recorded this during the eclipse. I was on Benadryl and running on whatever *this energy* is (gestures around at game-changing solar flare, white hot Schumann Resonance, and a very disruptive Spirit Guide) and Sam was enjoying an adult beverage. I say fuck a few times. Either roll with it and be cool or don’t watch this one:
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
As we’ve written about HERE, HERE and HERE, this Wood Snake Year is certainly living up to its promise— and we’re all feeling the effects just a few short months in!
So, I decided it was high time to tap the incredible community of clients, collaborators and friends around our work here at TOTEM and The Skeptical Shaman podcast to bring all of us short, snackable, and human-scaled tips and tricks to stay sane in this Wood Snake Year!
In this video, I chat with
about how he’s leveraging Buddhist meditations to protect himself during this VERY bumping energy— and increasingly feisty astral entities.According to Sam, listeners don't need to be Buddhist to practice these Brahma Vihara meditations. And the overlap with (wholesome) Magick will eventually be self-evident.
