The root cause of sickness is disharmony inside, which filters outward from our inner landscape to the outside world. Our inner mental and psychological states can have a profound effect on our physical bodies. To correct this, we each have a responsibility to listen to our hearts.
Ever wondered how ancient wisdom can guide us in modern times? In this eye-opening episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles sits down with John Lockley, a fully initiated African shaman, or Sangoma, from the Xhosa nation in South Africa. John’s journey is nothing short of fascinating; from being one of the first white men to be recognized as a Sangoma post-Apartheid, to bridging the gap between Western psychology and traditional African healing practices.
John and Valeria start by discussing how inner disharmony can manifest as physical illness. John emphasizes that the root cause of many health issues is the imbalance within our minds and hearts. He passionately shares how reconnecting with our inner selves and listening to our hearts can lead to profound healing. The conversation then shifts to the unique aspects of South African shamanism. Unlike its often glamorized Western counterpart, South African shamanism remains deeply rooted in indigenous culture.
John’s personal story of becoming a Sangoma is filled with challenges and triumphs, offering a raw and authentic look into this ancient practice. John also introduces his 'Way of the Leopard' audio course, which aims to help people connect with their inner wilderness. He touches on the universal fear of death and how finding one’s purpose can alleviate this fear.
The episode wraps up with John sharing the importance of dreams and how they can guide us towards a more meaningful life. For those intrigued by the blend of ancient wisdom and modern life, this episode is a treasure trove of insights. Whether you're looking to understand the power of dreams or seeking ways to harmonize your inner world, John Lockley's teachings offer valuable guidance.
