23. Practicing Ayurveda for Human Health & Wellbeing - with Amish Shah Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

What if there was a healing modality that viewed your body as the perfect healing system that it is?

In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This? Emily is joined by Amish Shah where they explore Ayurveda, an ancient practice used to bring your body into balance.

Amish found his way to Ayurveda when it felt like there was nowhere else to turn.

He was in his twenties making tens of millions of dollars as a stockbroker... and simultaneously suffering from a host of health issues – vitiligo, constant migraines, extreme stomach pain, depression.

When he was 29 he went to the doctor to get a blood panel done and it came back that he had high cholesterol, fatty liver, was pre-diabetic and was near adrenal failure.

At one point he said he was living in a 6,000 sq ft home with a pool on the roof, a theater room, and an elevator. He owned a Ferrari, a Maserati and an Audi.

And yet he was in massive pain, battling severe depression and suicide.

That all changed when he found his way to meditation, yoga, and eventually, Ayurveda.

Now he has launched The Natural Law: A film and global movement committed to bringing Ayurvedic natural healing back to modern life.

By the end you’ll be asking yourself, Why Isn’t Everyone Practicing Ayurveda?

Shah's most recent project is "The Natural Law", a documentary and platform centered on Ayurveda, accessible at thenaturallaw.com.

20. Turn Up The Dial on Your Own Divinity - with Layla Martin | Priestess Pilgrimage Part 3 Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

What would the world look like as a matriarchy? Today on Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This? We’re launching Part 3 of the Priestess Pilgrimage and taking you on Emily and Layla’s journey through Crete - one of the last matriarchal societies.

ICYMI: Emily and Layla Martin took a recent trip through Greece where they traveled to sacred sites where high priestesses were serving medicine and practicing sacred sexuality rituals that helped to form the very fabric of Western society. Catch up on Parts 1 and 2 at the links below.

While in other ancient cities, the priestesses were consulted by sovereigns and people in leadership, in Crete the high priestesses WERE the sovereigns. Layla walks us through the migration of our ancient ancestors from ancient Turkey and the Middle East who had worshiped the Goddess and has deep reverence for feminine expressions of marriage, childbirth, fertility and sexuality.

Layla and Emily also give practical ways to start with a psychedelic journey if that feels charming, including why it’s integral to be led by a therapist or an experienced guide who can help you move through the full spectrum of your human emotions. Discover how you can prepare your body, heart and soul to experience these initiations if and when you feel ready.

Plus, they define Kundalini energy and why so many ancient depictions of women in Ancient Greece are shown with snakes.

So why isn’t everyone turning up the dial on their own divinity? Discover the reason in this week’s episode.

Here are all 4 episodes of Layla and Emily's Priestess Pilgrimmage:

19. Using Psychedelics to Tap into the Divine - with Layla Martin | Priestess Pilgrimage Part 1 Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

Today we’re kicking off a 4-part series with return guest Layla Martin, where they will take you through their recent Priestess Pilgrimage through Greece. Together, they traveled to several sacred sites to have a visceral experience of the very same places where priestesses were serving medicine and practicing sacred sexuality rituals that helped to form the very fabric of Western society. Things like democracy, theater, even religion.

In Part 1 they discuss what it means to be a high priestess, and why reclaiming words like “witch” and “priestess” empower people to connect with their own divinity. They also introduce the religion that has no name – something that humans have been practicing for millenia in order to connect with God through Nature, plants, animals, their own bodies, dance, music, medicines, breath, trance and meditation.

Layla and Emily also give a history lesson on why people used to travel to Eleusis to change their perception of death and the afterlife. Plus, they explore why it’s so hard to control people who have access to psychedelics and modalities such as breathwork, yoga, meditation and sacred sexuality.

So why isn’t everyone using psychedelics to tap into the divine? Discover the reason in this week’s episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?
