Traditional Medicine Podcast with Caara Lovick

Our last episode discussed how worker-owned or community-owned cooperative business structures harmonize with Amazonian and High Andean Q'ero traditions. Democratic workplaces safeguard communities, ensure no abuse takes place, and helps distribute wealth more evenly. Although projects can take on a more conventional business model until the project is successful, anyone working with these traditions should prepare for the day that they have to convert their business into a cooperative. In to...

This episode discusses how worker-owned or community-owned businesses are the best structures for projects working with these indigenous healers and their communities. These businesses bring democracy into the workplace and harmonize with these healing traditions. The idea of capitalism is not native to the Americas. Although we live in a capitalist society, we must preserve these traditions by honoring them and creating businesses that are in harmony with them. Sometimes a conventional busin...

In this episode, we're discussing best practices for working with indigenous healers and their communities. To start this conversation, we must examine the science behind keeping human populations healthy and happy. We will review what anthropologists and epidemiologists (health experts who study large human populations) have found out regarding this topic and how this same wisdom is embedded into the fabric of both Amazonian and High Andean Q'ero healing traditions. www.traditionalmedi...

In our mini-series on what power is, we've talked about how power is the ability to hold space for good things to happen and how virtues like radical compassion and service to this planet are part of the keys to unlocking high levels of power. Now in this episode, we discuss Mother Earth and her energetic role in helping us to reach new levels of power. Just like a marathon runner would not be able to run long distances without the proper nutrition, we also cannot access high levels of consci...

In this episode, we delve deeper into the exploration of power, drawing from personal experiences.

In today's episode, we continue discussing power and what power is for wisdom keepers in the Andes and the Amazon. And it's not just the way wisdom keepers of the Andes or the Amazon view power; it is multiple religions and spiritual disciplines saying the same thing. Why? Because they are tapping into the same truth. Today we talk about how Amazonian healers and Q'ero healers walk the path to power and follow the same path as bible scriptures and other texts from other disciplines without ha...

For indigenous healers in both the Amazon and High Andes, power is the ability to hold space for good things to happen. To build and access power, healers must undergo a challenging, energetic, and spiritual refinement process that helps them bring powerful medicine into this world. In this episode, we discuss what power means in these traditions and how they compare to other traditions and religions that outline the path to power or enlightenment. www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps:/...

This episode discusses the genius of Q'ero's wisdom and healing tradition. The Q'ero Healing Tradition has simplified complex energetic and spiritual concepts to the bare minimum. It has established ways to bring their entire community effortlessly to higher levels of consciousness alongside mother earth and the sacred mountains. We cover how they see beyond the images and the symbols provided by our minds to translate energetic and spiritual phenomena, effectively seeing beyond these illusio...

In today's episode, we review how our minds interpret energy. First, we cover how our world is both physical and spiritual. We, as humans, are both physical and spiritual as well. Humans capture information regarding their physical environment through the senses and energetic/spiritual information regarding their environment through inborn intuitions. The mind then translates this spiritual and energetic world into dreams, symbols, images, and other forms of expression to help us understand t...

In this episode, we compare Carl Jung's work and the disciplines pioneered by Traditional Indigenous Healers in their efforts to work and understand the "unconscious," or what indigenous healers call the energetic and spiritual aspect of reality. We discuss that the main difference between these disciplines lies in their roots. On the one hand, Carl Jung's methods depend on the conscious side of life or the physical side of reality, where the intellect reigns supreme. On the other hand, indig...

In today's episode, we build the foundation to understand what Ayahuasca is. We review the basics, sneak in some neuroscience from Dr. Jordi Riba and his team in Barcelona, and review the framework these Traditional Indigenous Medicines live within, including Ayahuasca, to avoid unnecessary learning curves that can slow up progress. This is part 1 of our "What is Ayahuasca?" mini-series. www.traditionalmedicinemiami.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami

We discuss how important it is for mental health and traditional indigenous healing disciplines to work together, especially when clients decide to incorporate traditional indigenous healing services into their healing journey, as they complement each other significan...

In this episode, we identify the common challenges mental health experts and traditional indigenous healers face on their journey to helping people.

In bridging the two disciplines successfully, we can provide more continuity in the support we offer clients seeking traditional indigenous medicines. Mental health experts must avoid pitfalls when finding ways to complement traditional indigenous healers and ...

Today's episode discusses how Traditional Indigenous Healers expect to see new, more potent medicines coming into this world. The more challenging our times get, the more powerful the medicines will need to be in order to bring about balance. The Q'ero expect to see new levels of mastery achieved in their healing tradition. They also expect new souls with unique energetics and gifts to enter our world. These new "medicines" in the form of people will need help being birthed and can sometimes ...

In this episode, we talk about the sense of duty and responsibility traditional indigenous healers from Peru feel for the earth and for humanity.
