[Ep. 147] What Is Manifesting? w/ Nisha Mody & James-Olivia May 21, 2023

Show notes

We welcome back friends of HLN, James-Olivia and Nisha Mody!
Nisha, James-Olivia, and Luis have a beautiful, existential conversation about a word that is all too easily thrown around -- manifesting.
They first explore what it means to decolonize manifestation, i.e. to go from being in domination of to relationship with, and then explore a myriad of topics including:

the literal definition of manifesting: to make apparent
spiritual bypassing
earning vs. manifesting
making apparent what is already present vs. seeking external validation or sources of safety
why we may not want to manifest certain things about ourselves

[Ep. 146] Navigating Whiteness: Honoring Indigenous Europe May 14, 2023

Show notes

Inspired by an article written by Lyla June, Reclaiming our Indigenous European Roots, Luis explores the dangers of denying and disowning our Whiteness.
He first discusses why an overcoupling of Whiteness with "bad" can actually lead to fawning or performative allyship, i.e. behaviors that in reality do not support those who may be experiencing racism.
But he further explores what many of us have not only gained but also lost in assimilating to the American White ideal and similarly, how only associating the parts of our lineage that may align with "Whiteness" with evil or destruction can eclipse a lineage that also may have aspects of beauty and connection.
Luis also reads for us Reclaiming our Indigenous European Rootsin its entirety.

[Bonus Episode] Relational Commerce: Indigenous Wisdom For Modern Creators w/ Asha Frost May 03, 2023

Show notes

On today's episode, Luis speaks with Asha Frost about the release of her oracle deck, while bringing in transparency around the full spectrum of emotions and experiences with its release.
Typically, whenever someone releases some offering or creation, we talk about it in a very stimulated and excited way. Rarely do we talk about how it can overwhelm the body, or how easy it is to burn ourselves out, despite going through a positive experience.
Asha shares how she was in a freeze response for six months after her first book was published, and how she brought that experience and awareness to the release of her oracle deck.
They discuss:

the capacity to witness one’s own truth, the capacity for that truth to be witnessed by others, and the capacity to sustain it over time
re-indigenizing how we relate with our bodies
capacity vs desire
learning to live and work within capitalism from a standpoint of embodiment and relational energy

[Ep. 144] Navigating Trauma as an Art Form Apr 30, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, Luis shares with us his perspective and personal experience as to why trauma and art are similar.
Like trauma, art is not the event itself but the expression. And "art" is simply how the body brings things from the unconscious to the conscious, i.e. anything we birth into existence. It can range from what we conventional think of as art, like painting a picture or writing a poem, to something more unconventional like building a toilet or how we may raise our children.
To further illustrate this, Luis takes us into his studio and walks us through his own creation process as a musician.

[Ep. 143] Trauma & Psychedelics w/ Dr. Will Siu Apr 23, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, Luis is joined by Dr. Will Siu, a psychiatrist who provides psychotherapy and medication management using a holistic and integrative approach. Luis and Will discuss the use of psychedelics.
Will first shares with us his own life journey and the various events that brought him to psychedelics. Luis and Will discuss why the use of psychedelics are not sufficient or necessary alone for healing but how they can support healing in conjunction with a learned and empathic healer.
They also both explore how the physical experience of the body -- with our with out Psychedelics -- is more important that the mental story. As Will shares with his clients, "You are going going to feel your way out of this, not think you way out."

[Ep. 142] Navigating ADHD Apr 16, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we explore ADHD or RITC -- a Radical Inability To Conform.
Luis shares with us his own childhood experiences with ADHD, Tourette's syndrome, and nervous ticks. Often people are prescribed medications to suppress these conditions but Luis questions what would it mean to allow ourselves to relate to them as expressions?
Luis begins to reframe the idea of ADHD; pivoting from "I can't focus" to "I have attention for what interests me." He also explains how guilt or shame resulting from an ADHD expression, i.e. a lack of attention to something you "should" be doing, can propel someone into a state of freeze, reinforcing the notion that they "can't" do something.
So whether we have ADHD or not, he invites us into a practice to explore the spectrum of tasks we have to do or should do and how can we interweave them with activities that genuinely interest us and rejuvenate us, thus giving us more capacity for doing the "have-to" tasks.
