How can plant medicine support healing? Plant medicine, through the grace of The Divine, got us here into the heart garden. (Thank you plant medicine!)

We keep hearing from listeners that they want to hear about this topic: our initial resistance to plant medicine, how it has supported our healing journeys — both individually and as a father and daughter, and the importance of preparing for your own ceremony and integrating with the invitations you receive.

In this episode, we share:

• Gratitude to the Indigenous keepers of these sacred medicines, and of course to the medicines themselves.

• The story from my first plant medicine ceremony.

• The catalyst for my Dad attending his first plant medicine journey.

• My Dad’s integration invitations.

• An invitation to you, the listener, who may be curious about how to best support or encourage a loved one, to attend their first plant medicine ceremony.

Key Takeaways:

• In the right set and setting, plant medicine can be a powerful healing modality for personal growth and transformation.

• Plant medicine can help us meet that which was previously met by fear, with love. (Thank you, Stephen Levine).

• Listening to and acting upon the invitations received in sacred ceremony space can guide us into deep healing.

• “Emanate love, not fear.” (Thank you, Ram Dass).

For this episode we selected these two Lotus Wei flower essences: Divine Truth Elixir and Sacred Heart Anointing Oil

Two weeks ago, while editing Episode 6, I was called to come into the recording studio to record and share these reflections with you. To both communicate my gratitude, and to invite you to use The Fall Up Method, as a means of connecting more with your heart, and what is present within it right now.

If you listened to our most recent Heart Gardening episode, which inspired this bonus episode, we shared about Marilyn Murray’s Three Little Children. One of the things that I love about practicing presence, with reflection and gratitude, is that these practices give us the opportunity to connect more with our Original Child, especially while moving through grief. Marilyn defines The Original Child as the child who we are created to be. It’s the child that embodies our soul and spirit in their original form, untainted and filled with potential.

Whatever is present within your heart gardens today, I hope that these reflections on how I’m relating to The Pause, The Breath, The Feeling, and The Healing inspire you in being more present – and alive – to your big feeling hearts.

How do we release the childhood messages that no longer serve us? Join us, as my Dad and I explore this question in today's episode of Heart Gardening.

Continuing with the belief that all of our stories contain medicine, we open this episode by sharing stories from our childhoods that speak to some of the early messages that we received.

My Dad, Robert, goes on to reflect upon his lifelong workaholic tendencies, which stemmed from the childhood messaging he received. He speaks candidly to the fact that moving from being a human doing for most of his life, to being a human being is an ongoing process.

As we close out this episode, we discuss renowned psychotherapist Marilyn Murray’s concept of The Three Little Children.

The topic of childhood messaging is a big topic, and through exploring how our childhood messages shaped our identities, we are invited to write new, healing stories for ourselves.

Key Takeaways:

• Reflecting on impactful moments from childhood can highlight a message that we may still be living out today.
• Allowing ourselves to feel deeply and live in alignment with our truth is an important part of reparenting ourselves.
• Marilyn Murray’s concept of The Three Little Children invites us to identify and connect with the child within us that needs attention, reparenting, and healing.

How do the messages that we received in childhood shape our lives?

In this episode, my Dad, Robert, courageously reflects on the key messages he received in his childhood, and how those messages informed the path that he has taken for the better part of his life. Specifically, going to an Ivy League school and achieving at a high level in the financial markets.

You will hear my Dad share about how his journey of awareness was catalyzed by his time in a recovery focused treatment center in the early 90s. He goes on to share the transformation he is leaning into in his retirement, listening to his heart and following his passions – proving it’s never too late!

We close this episode by inviting listeners to reflect on the childhood messages you received, and how you feel they have shaped your life up until this point. We acknowledge that awareness is always the first step in the journey transformation. If you’re waking up to the impact of your childhood messages, congrats and welcome to the club! We hope this new awareness will seed transformation and support you in creating the healing that you desire for yourself and your heart garden.

Are you feeling called to co-create in healing with a family member? But have perhaps been stuck because of longstanding resentment, estrangement, or xyz. Grab your favorite tea and mist yourself with some Lotus Wei flower essences, because you’ve come to the right place.

As the shaman I apprenticed often said, “You can have your story or you can have your healing, but you can’t have both.”

In today’s episode, my Dad and I reflect upon the stories that we had to let go of, in order to embrace the healing that started in the virtual therapy room, four years ago. Additionally, we speak about how to move from rupture to repair (hint: you have to let go of the old story), and share the practical steps we took to get ourselves into a place of intentional healing as father and daughter.

I was called to come into the recording studio today, on my Mom's 25th rebirthiversary, as I like to call death anniversaries, to intentionally honor this day with each of you who are here with me and my Dad in the heart garden.

The intention with this short bonus episode is to honor the milestone of 25 years, by taking a few moments to share what the invitations within The Fall Up Method's framework have brought forward for me.

Whatever is present within your heart gardens today, I hope that these reflections on how I’m relating to The Pause, The Breath, The Feeling, and The Healing, in light of this anniversary, inspire you in celebrating your big feeling hearts.

Keep gardening,
Jasmin

Can a retreat in the African wilderness change the course of your life? Join us as we explore a journey of intentional self-discovery and courage.

The release of this episode is another full circle moment. My Dad just went on his second Track Your Life retreat with Master Life Coach, Boyd Varty, at Londolozi Private Game Reserve in South Africa, and this episode is all about his first retreat there.

In this conversation, we share the story of how my Dad embraced the unknown on the Track Your Life retreat he attended in 2019. From tracking wildlife to sleeping under the stars with lions nearby, he found himself confronting some deep-seated truths. The awakening came in realizing that it wasn’t too late for him to get on the track of his life.

Key Takeaways:

• Animal tracking can be a powerful metaphor for connecting more fully with yourself.

• As you evolve, the track of your life will, too.

• Courage allows us to stay present in the face of the unknown.

• It’s not too late to get on the track of your life.
