Welcome back to the Deep Dive. So today you brought us to, I think, one of the most fascinating and

challenging intersections in modern wellness. It really is. We’re at the place where ancient

indigenous wisdom, specifically the really potent concepts from Andean shamanism, meets the,

well, the rigorous data-driven world of functional medicine. And it’s a place that is just

dense with potential, but also, as you said, with challenges, so many communication hurdles.

Exactly. You have these practitioners who live in this integrated space and they have these

incredible tools. I mean, tools that can shift deep trauma or these big energetic imbalances.

But they really struggle to articulate what they’re doing, to talk about their work in a way

that, you know, respects both the sacred nature of the practice. And the skepticism of a scientific

audience. And I think that’s our mission today. We need to find the linguistic bridge, that

communication blueprint for anyone who sees themselves as a bridge builder. I mean, how do

you stand?

Confidently in both of those worlds. How do you explain the impact of something like a

soul retrieval to a conventional psychiatrist?

Or document clearing a luminous energy field in a clinical files without, you know,

completely sacrificing your professional credibility?

Yeah. We’re looking for that Rosetta Stone, something that translates

sacred terminology into, say, medical documentation.

That’s it. Exactly.

Yeah.

And the strategy, which is what’s so powerful in our source materials,

isn’t about,

hiding the spiritual work. It’s not about pretending it’s not happening.

It’s about tailoring the language. It’s about translating the core truth

of what you’re doing to fit the person you’re talking to.

So it’s for the functional medicine doctor who’s doing energy work,

or the therapist using shamanic concepts.

Or even just someone trying to explain these ideas to, you know, a skeptical family member.

You need these tools.

This sounds absolutely essential because if you only speak the language of biochemistry,

you lose all the depth. You lose the soul of the work.

But if you only speak the language of ceremony,

you lose the ear of the entire medical establishment.

That ability to code switch is paramount.

You need a language that gives you credibility when you’re talking to a doctor who’s

who’s only looking at TSH levels or inflammatory markers.

But you also need a language that honors that spiritual depth for the patient who’s ready for it,

who’s asking for it.

OK, let’s unpack this, starting with the fundamental idea of three language levels, because this blueprint,

it seems,

recognizes that communication is not, it’s not a one size fits all thing.

It’s dynamic.

Absolutely.

The source material lays out a really clear strategy.

It argues that every core shamanic concept, every energetic idea can and should be expressed at three distinct levels.

For clarity.

For clarity and for appropriateness for any setting.

OK, so let’s start at the top, the most traditional level, level one, shamanic language.

Right. This is the internal language.

It’s the sacred terminology that’s specific to the lineage.

So in this case, we’re using Andean terms like hoochah for heavy energy or a genie for sacred reciprocity.

You use this language for your own internal tracking of a client’s progress or for speaking with patients who are already initiated,

you know, who are spiritually oriented and are asking for that depth.

So this is the language for your personal notes for ceremony.

Exactly. It holds the cultural power of the lineage.

All right. Now for the linguistic opposite level to the scientific or medical translation.

The language of the skeptical world.

And this is the critical one for professional integration.

This is where you deploy research backed frameworks, evidence based terminology and scientifically recognized references.

So this is non-negotiable for like a doctor’s referral letter or insurance paperwork.

Absolutely. Doctor referrals, insurance stocks, academic presentations, any institutional environment.

Here you’re replacing indigenous terms with things like biofield science or

trauma informed somatic work or autonomic nervous system regulation.

It’s all about establishing common ground and professional credibility.

Precisely. Especially with peers who might not have any spiritual training.

OK, so that brings us to level three.

This feels like the most important one for day to day practice.

The patient friendly bridge language.

This is the sweet spot. This is for the general public.

It’s accessible. It requires no specialized knowledge, no scientific acronyms, no spiritual jargon.

So the goal here is to honor the energetic,

energetic side of things without just completely overwhelming someone.

Yes. For example, instead of talking about dissociative fragmentation, you might say parts of you that split off during difficult times.

Much more relatable.

Or instead of biofield coherence therapy, you use deep relaxation work to help your energy settle.

It maintains the integrity of the work, but it’s immediately understandable.

That distinction is so important.

But I do have a question for practitioners who feel really called to the spiritual side.

Is there a risk?

Here are risk that if you rely too much on the medical jargon and level two, you kind of you strip the healing of its power, make it feel sterile.

That’s a really thoughtful question, and it goes right to the heart of the practitioner’s integrity.

The source material is clear on this.

Translation is not dilution.

It’s reframing.

It’s reframing. You don’t stop seeing the luminous energy field just because you document it as the biofield level two is purely a transactional tool for communication and credibility.

So the internal power, the level one understanding.

Has to stay intact.

It must remain intact for the healing to be effective.

If you lose sight of the sacredness just to fit a medical model, you lose the essence of the work.

The practitioner has to hold both truths at the same time without apology.

Okay, that makes sense.

It’s a tool for communication, not a definition of your reality.

So now that we have the blueprint, let’s move to the core framework for healing itself.

This is the four directions teaching from the Andes.

Yes, the four directions.

It provides this comprehensive map for the entire healing journey.

It’s a structure that links four animal archetypes to four levels of our experience, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, giving the practitioner a systematic way to assess things, a way to assess and a way to intervene.

Okay, so let’s begin in the south, the direction of origin with the serpent.

This governs the physical and instinctual body.

The serpent is fundamental.

Its core teaching is about grounding, about instinctual wisdom and about the ability to shed old skills.

What does that mean?

Shed old skins means constantly releasing the past, old habits, old wounds, old toxic relationships, anything that no longer serves your biological health.

Shamanically, it’s also tied to Aini or sacred reciprocity.

It teaches us how to live in balance with the physical world and with our own bodies.

Okay, so when we talk about shedding old skins, what’s the actual energetic mechanism there?

How does the serpent connect to, you know, modern physiology from an energetic view?

Trauma and stress leave what are called imprints.

They’re patterns of dense energy that get stored in the tissue itself.

When we engage serpent medicine, we’re working to release those stored energetic patterns.

Medically, this translates perfectly to somatic awareness and nervous system regulation.

It’s really about addressing the body’s hardwired survival response.

So let’s expand on that medical translation for serpent.

What specific concepts should practitioners be using?

We talk about bottom up processing of trauma.

Meaning you address the physical.

Physical sensation, the physiological response, before you get to the cognitive story.

Okay.

And this leans heavily on polyvagal theory, the scientific understanding of how the vagus nerve regulates our states of safety and defense.

Serpent medicine, in a way, is a deep vagal nerve toning protocol.

So it’s about helping the body feel safe enough to let go.

Exactly.

We also link it to mitochondrial function because the serpent governs our fundamental life force, which is the energetic engine of ourselves.

So if a patient is holding years of stress in their shoulders, and the shamanic note says work with serpent to release energetic armor, the medical note needs to be way more specific.

Correct.

The professional documentation would say something like, utilizing trauma-informed somatic techniques to downregulate the sympathetic nervous system and release stored trauma patterns from the fascia, focusing on achieving homeostatic balance.

And the patient, what do they hear?

The patient hears the simple, accessible level three language.

We’re going to listen to your body’s wisdom.

And help you finally let go of that heavy stress you’ve been carrying, so you can feel that natural balance again.

That’s incredibly clear.

Okay, moving west, we enter the territory of the jaguar.

This governs the soul and the emotional body, transformation, shadow work.

Jaguars is the master of transformation.

It teaches us about facing our inner darkness and embracing death, not physical death, but the death of the old self, of old wounds.

And it’s intrinsically tied to the luminous energy field, or the LEF.

The jaguar can track disease or imbalance in the LEF long before it ever shows up physically in the body.

It helps us face hucha, which is that heavy, stagnant energy from unaddressed trauma.

So this is where we get fully into energy assessment.

How does the medical translation ground a concept like the luminous energy field and tracking hucha?

Shamanically, it’s the luminous energy field and hucha.

Medically, the LEF is translated directly as the biofield, or the human energy field.

We use terms like biofield assessment and mapping to track the imbalance.

And hucha.

That heavy energy.

That translates to unprocessed emotional load, or stored trauma density, or even psychophysiological stress residue.

The key insight here is that the shamanic observation of dense energy corresponds to measurable stress markers and coherence patterns in the body.

Let’s talk about the supporting references here, because grounding the biofield is so essential for that level two credibility.

Absolutely.

We rely on decades of work.

We can reference Dr. Beverly Rubick, who has championed the study of the biofield.

We can also cite Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp’s research on biophoton emission.

Which is what, exactly?

It’s the measurable, faint light that’s emitted by our cells.

It suggests there’s a really sophisticated communication system governing our cellular health.

Fascinating.

And of course, the HeartMath Institute, which has measured the heart’s electromagnetic field extending several feet outside the body.

It proves we are constantly broadcasting energetic information.

So if a practitioner sees, say, a significant ancestral imprint of fear stored in the jaguar layer of the LEF.

How do they document that for a medical file?

They document.

Biofield assessment indicates significant energetic imbalance and localized congestion correlating with familial stress patterns.

Intervention will utilize biofield coherence therapy combined with depth psychology techniques to process the unprocessed emotional load.

It’s a clear method with a measurable goal without using the word imprints.

Precisely.

OK, next we travel north to the hummingbird.

This is the mental and soul body.

The journey of courage and destiny.

The hummingbird is the archetype of the epic journey.

I mean, it’s tiny, but it flies thousands of miles.

It represents the courage that’s needed to do the deepest psychological and spiritual work, which is primarily soul loss and soul retrieval.

OK.

In this tradition, trauma doesn’t just wound the psyche.

It causes parts of our core essence, our soul, to split off and hide just to ensure we survive.

That idea of fragmentation sounds, well, it sounds mystical.

But you’re arguing it maps almost perfectly.

Almost perfectly to mainstream trauma psychology.

It really does.

Soul loss, that feeling of I haven’t been myself since or feeling incomplete.

It maps directly onto dissociation and fragmentation.

Medically, we translate soul losses, dissociative patterns and the healing, the soul retrieval that’s translated as trauma integration therapy or even more specifically, the use of internal family systems or IFS.

Let’s define IFS for the listener, because it seems like a key reference for that level two translation.

OK.

Ifs was pioneered by Dr.

Richard Schwartz, and it views the mind as naturally multiple.

It’s a collection of parts, and each part has a positive intent.

OK.

When trauma happens, certain protective parts take over and the wounded vulnerable parts get exiled, pushed away.

Soul retrieval in IFS terms is the process of safely locating, unburdening and reintegrating those exiled, wounded parts of the self.

You’re restoring internal harmony.

Exactly.

So the translation is really clear.

If a practitioner is working.

If a practitioner is working with someone who lost part of their spirit during a childhood illness, the shamanic documentation might be journeyed to retrieve the terrified child part that split off at age six.

Right.

But the clinical summary for their doctor would state, patient presents with significant dissociative fragmentation from medical trauma at age six.

We are utilizing an IFS informed approach combined with somatic resourcing to consolidate fragmented self states and restore a sense of internal wholeness.

You’re using a.

This is what they call.

Speech.

Any type of language.

A kind of language.

All right.

This is where I talk about emotional and social and emotional über-tropicalness and the work of the brain.

The best way to talk about emotional over-tropicalness.

It is to do it with a blunt and direct approach, and that is to understand the root of the purpose of life.

And then you have the ability to interpret the emotional.

Okay.

Finally, we saw to the east the direction of the EEG le.

This is the spiritual and vision body seeing the big picture.

Eagle soars highest.

It sees the entire web of life.

So this is the domain of meaning of perspective and alignment with your highest truth or destiny.

Shamanically, this is about finding your sacred purpose.

And a clinical translation for finding one sacred purpose

medically.

this is where we adopt a systems perspective. We’re understanding that the patient’s health

is interwoven with their environment, their relationships, their life choices. We use

concepts like metacognition and existential or transpersonal psychology. And destiny. The idea

of destiny retrieval translates beautifully into values-aligned living and meaning-centered therapy.

The source material connected chronic physical pain directly to a lack of meaning. That’s a

really profound observation. It is profound. The ancient wisdom suggests that when you ignore your

calling, your sacred purpose, that misalignment will manifest as chronic illness or pain you can’t

get rid of. And there’s a medical correlation for that. Oh, absolutely. It aligns perfectly

with Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy. He argued that the primary human drive is the search for meaning.

And studies show that people with a strong sense of purpose have less chronic inflammation. They

even modulate their pain perception more effectively. So the spiritual distress literally

becomes physiological dysregulation. It does. So if a practitioner observes,

the eagle is showing me that your persistent back pain is a demand to change your career.

How do they document that? They document. Patients’ chronic somatic pain correlates

strongly with periods of existential distress and occupational misalignment. We are addressing

this through meaning-centered therapeutic intervention to foster values-aligned decision

making, which is expected to modulate pain perception. It provides a coherent rationale

within the accepted biopsychosocial model of health.

Really interesting. Now that we have the full framework, let’s drill down into the core

concepts, starting with the luminous energy field, the LEF, or the biofield.

Right. The LES is the invisible scaffolding. It’s the matrix of energy surrounding and

interpenetrating the body. The shamanic view is that this field holds the energetic blueprint

for our health and all the imprints of past trauma, personal and ancestral.

And it’s the first place a shaman intervenes.

Often years before a physical symptom ever appears.

You mentioned bio photons earlier. Can we

explain that mechanism a bit more clearly? What was Dr. Popp actually measuring?

He was measuring ultra-weak light emissions from living cells. And this light

is coherent, meaning it’s highly organized. It’s not just random heat.

So it’s a form of information.

He theorized it might be the mechanism cells use to communicate, a master

regulative system. So when a shaman perceives imprints or tears in the LEF, they might be

sensing disruptions in this fundamental biological communication network. The medical term,

biofield, lets us reference this research without having to say aura.

Okay. So let’s run that clinical scenario again for chronic fatigue, but with more depth in the documentation.

Okay. A patient with chronic fatigue syndrome, or CFS, tied to unresolved childhood sexual abuse.

The shamanic documentation would be something like,

significant tear in the LEF around the second chakra from trauma at age seven. Energy is

hemorrhaging from the field, leading to chronic depletion. We’ll perform elimination to clear the

imprint and seal the tear.

And how does that look in the medical file that gets sent to the primary care physician?

The professional documentation has to avoid the spiritual language completely.

It focuses on mechanism and outcome. Patient presents with CFS, normal labs,

history of complex childhood trauma. Protocol includes biofield coherence therapy combined with

trauma-informed somatic work aimed at restoring the energetic integrity and functional coherence

of the autonomic nervous system, thereby mitigating chronic energy dysregulation

and reducing HPA axis dysfunction.

You’ve translated energetic drain into energy dysregulation and

healing the tear into restoring functional coherence.

Exactly.

Okay. Next, let’s decode energetic cords. This is such a powerful metaphor for our relationships.

In the energetic view, a cord is literally a stream of energy linking us to others, family,

partners, even places. A healthy cord is reciprocal. A toxic cord is draining. It

keeps you tethered to old patterns.

And scientifically, how do we translate the impact of a toxic cord? It sounds like it’s more than

just emotional stress.

Oh, it’s profoundly physiological. We translate toxic cords through the lens of

attachment theory and relational neuroscience. A toxic cord represents a persistent,

dysregulating attachment pattern.

So it’s constantly activating your defense system.

Constantly. It floods your system with cortisol, keeps your vagus nerve in a state

of chronic defense. So cutting the cord translates to establishing the necessary

psychological and energetic boundaries that allow the nervous system to finally rest and regulate

itself.

Let’s use that example of the patient with fatigue after a divorce.

Right. The shamanic assessment is toxic cords to ex-husband are still actively draining

the root and solar plexus chakras, maintaining fear and powerlessness. The action is a cord

cutting ceremony.

And the level two medical translation.

Patient experiencing persistent psychophysiological stress and fatigue

correlating with ongoing unresolved relational dynamics post-divorce.

Intervention focuses on establishing clear relational boundaries

and utilizing somatic resourcing to restore autonomic nervous system stability

and improve self-efficacy.

We’ve swapped draining chakras for psychophysiological stress.

And reclaiming personal power for improving self-efficacy.

Okay, now for the most grounded concept you mentioned, ancestral healing and epigenetics.

You said this is one of the most scientifically validated shamanic concepts which

that feels revolutionary.

It truly is. Shamanic traditions have always known that the anti-dismissal mechanism使用的自身操作的,

that the anti-dismissal mechanism使用的自身操作的,

that the anti-dismissal mechanism使用的自身操作的,

known that we carry the burdens and the strengths of our ancestors. That trauma

doesn’t just die with the person who experienced it. And epigenetics provides

the mechanism. It provides the mechanism. It’s the study of how our environment

and experiences affect how our genes are expressed without changing the DNA

sequence itself. So what are the key studies that give this translation its

credibility? The foundational research comes from Dr. Rachel Yehuda. Her team

studied the children of Holocaust survivors. They found changes in the

methylation patterns of a specific gene, FKBP5. And what does that gene do? It’s

crucial for regulating the body’s stress response. It’s the shutdown mechanism for

cortisol. In the children of survivors, that gene was effectively stuck on alert,

making them hyperreactive to stress. It reflected their parents’ trauma. Wow, so

the trauma literally left a chemical scar that was passed down. Precisely. And

we can also cite the Dutch Hunger Winter Studies. They showed that the

grandchildren of those who suffered famine during World War II had specific

health markers, increased risk for things like diabetes. The grandmother’s

environment affected the grandchild’s genes. This gives so much weight to the

shamanic work of clearing ancestral imprints. So let’s translate that complex

anxiety scenario. Right. The patient with anxiety, their grandmother, was a

genocide survivor. The shamanic view is clearing ancestral terror and deep

energetic imprints of genocide trauma held within the luminous lineage. And the

level two translation has to be rigorous here. You use the most powerful language.

You use the most powerful language. You use the most powerful language. You use the

most precise language possible, addressing intergenerational trauma and

epigenetic influences on current symptomatology, utilizing protocols to

regulate the HPA axis dysregulation, potentially influenced by ancestral

stress programming. You’re connecting the shamanic observation to a known

biological mechanism stress hormone regulation. And that level three

communication for the patient is just so powerful. We now know your grandmother’s

trauma can literally affect your DNA. That’s not mystical. That’s epigenetics. It validates that.

It’s their feeling that the fear isn’t their fault. It offers them release and objective

proof for something that felt purely spiritual. Okay. Last core concept. Let’s revisit

soul loss and retrieval through that psychological lens. As we touched on with the

hummingbird, soul loss is that defensive splitting of the psyche. In the structural

dissociation model, trauma creates these discrete personality parts. You have an

apparently normal part that handles daily life and then emotional parts that are stuck in the

traumatic moment. So the hummingbird’s journey to retrieve the soul part. Is the

therapeutic journey to locate that emotional part, bring it into safety and

integrate that frozen emotional energy back into the whole system. What are the

practical signs a practitioner should look for to know if soul loss is the

right diagnosis? Key indicators would be things like a persistent feeling of

emotional numbness or emptiness. The patient saying, I feel like I haven’t

been truly present since that event or I lost a specific talent or joy

after that trauma. So if a patient uses those phrases, it’s a pretty good sign.

It’s a very good sign you should be moving toward a trauma integration

protocol that addresses fragmentation. Let’s do the documentation contrast one

more time. A fragmentation from an abandonment trauma at age 10. Shamanic

notes. Journeyed to retrieve the abandoned child part hiding in the dark

well. Found the part and restored its sense of safety by integrating it with

its power animal. And medical documentation. Trauma integration

protocol combining internal family systems parts work with somatic

resourcing to integrate the dissociative parts stemming from abandonment trauma

at age 10. Goal is improved sense of presence and reduced emotional numbing.

Okay, now let’s talk about the actual translation of treatment modalities.

Starting with illumination. It sounds like the central healing act. It is the

core healing ceremony in the Andean tradition. It involves intense focus,

breath, and intention to clear the huje, the imprints of trauma, from the luminous

field and the chakras. You’re essentially burning off the heavy energy. So how do

you translate that powerful symbolic act into level two language? It becomes biofield

clearing therapy combined with focused intention and breath work. You focus on

the mechanism of release. The goal is releasing stored physiological and

emotional patterns that are creating chronic dysregulation. And for a skeptical

patient. That’s where level three is key. Say it’s similar to therapeutic touch or

Reiki, but more targeted. We work with the electromagnetic field

around your body that modern science can now measure to encourage your system to let go of

old stress. Okay, next up chakras. These are key energy centers, but they have clear physical

correlates we can use for medical translation. They do. And the beauty of the system is that

the seven major chakras align with major nerve plexuses and endocrine glands along the sky.

So it allows us to translate an energetic assessment into physiological terms that

make sense in functional medicine. Give me a detailed example for the fifth chakra,

the throat, which is about communication.

Physiologically, a fifth chakra blockage is often about unexpressed truth or swallowed anger.

Physiologically, the fifth chakra corresponds to the thyroid gland. So the level two translation

links that energetic holding pattern directly to functional issues. Chronic suppression of

self-expression leading to chronic stress activation that correlates with autoimmune

thyroid dysfunction like Hashimoto’s. You’re connecting emotional suppression directly to

the gland that governs metabolism and energy. That’s powerful. What about the third chakra?

The solar plexus power and boundaries, right? The solar plexus wounds there manifest as

powerlessness, a lack of boundaries. And a tonically, it corresponds to the celiac plexus,

a huge bundle of nerves behind the stomach and the adrenal glands. So medically,

medically, this translates to gut brain axis dysfunction, things like IBS or SIBO linked

to chronic autonomic dysregulation and low self-efficacy. The psychological stress is

directly activating the guts, immune and nervous systems. Let’s briefly touch on the

more transformative work, destiny retrieval. Destiny retrieval is about helping the client

connect with their pure potential, you know, before the wounds and the cultural conditioning

took over. And medically, how is that framed? It’s framed as meaning centered therapy and

values clarification. When you’re documenting it, you can reference the research on purpose

Ikigai in Japanese culture, for example, and it’s linked to longevity and resilience.

Okay. And the final most transformative work, death rights.

These are not always literal, of course. Shamanically, they often involve ego death,

dying to an outdated identity that’s holding you back.

How do you translate that for a patient without scaring them?

The level three translation has to be really supportive and metaphorical. We are helping

you navigate this major life transition, helping you let go of who you’ve been so you can step into

who you’re meant to be like a butterfly leaving the cocoon. It’s a recognized psychological concept,

identity transformation. This entire framework,

it only works if the practitioner uses the right level at the right time,

which brings us to practical application, the art of progressive disclosure.

This is the most important skill for any bridge builder. You have to assess your audience

and your context first, always. Writing an academic paper, level two, at a dinner party,

level three. And with a patient who says,

tell me the spiritual truth. Then and only then do you move to level one.

So what are the signs? How do you know a patient is ready for

deeper shamanic language. Readiness is signaled by their own language. They might use words like

karma, past life, spirit guides, or energy. They might ask directly about the spiritual meaning of

their illness or mention synchronicities. If they use that vocabulary, they are inviting you to meet

them there. And conversely, what are the absolute red flags? When do you stick strictly to level two

or three? Any sign of instability or really concrete thinking. If the patient is experiencing

active psychosis, if they’re court-ordered for treatment, or if they’re extremely skeptical,

literal thinkers who only use clinical terms. In those cases, using level one can break rapport,

create fear, or even be clinically irresponsible. So you stick to the neuroscience and the functional

protocols. You must. Okay, let’s walk through an initial consultation scenario. The patient is

educated but guarded. They ask, I appreciate the functional medicine, but I hear you also do

other work. What is that? You start with a level three,

test the water’s response. You focus on wholism. You say, my approach is unique because I don’t

just look at your biochemistry. I look at the whole system, mind, body, and spirit. We look at the root

cause, whether it’s nutritional, emotional, or energetic, and we adjust the depth based on what

feels right to you. Okay. And if they lean in, let’s say they reply, I believe in the mind-body

connection, but I’m wary of anything too woo-woo. What do you mean by energetic? That’s your cue to

move to a hybrid, a grounded level three, level two response, you say.

I’ve trained in practices that help me see patterns forming in your body’s regulatory system

before they become fully physical. Science refers to this as the biofield, the electromagnetic field

your body generates. Think of it like accessing your body’s energetic blueprint. We can work with

that blueprint alongside your lab work to make sure the changes last. It references science

without demanding belief. And what if they stay skeptical? They say, honestly, I just want the

rigorous evidence-based protocols, no blueprints. Then you respectfully pivot,

back to pure level two. You say, that’s perfectly fine. We will focus only on rigorous functional

medicine protocols, comprehensive testing, and nervous system work. You absolutely do not have

to believe in the energetic aspects for the somatic and biochemical work to be profoundly

effective. We’ll meet your needs with the science you trust. That’s meeting them where they are,

honoring their boundaries. That’s progressive disclosure. But let’s talk about the pitfalls.

What are the common mistakes practitioners make?

Just inappropriate jargon. Mistake one, using shamanic jargon without explanation. You cannot

tell a new patient, I need to clear the hoochah in your pachak. It’s alienating. It’s unprofessional

in a clinical setting. You have to translate it. You have to translate it into a meaningful level

three statement like, there’s heavy emotional stress stored in your gut, and we need to clear

that to restore your vitality. Okay, what’s mistake number two?

Overmedicalizing to sound credible. This is when the level two language gets so verbose and dense

that you lose the patient. If you tell them, we will initiate biofield coherence therapy,

utilizing theta brainwave entrainment to integrate the dissociative architecture. You just sound

like a robot. You’ve lost the connection. So what’s the better level three phrasing?

We’ll do some deep meditative work to help your nervous system reset and feel safe so

you can integrate these old memories. And the third major mistake.

Hiding the practice. If you’re an energetic practitioner, hiding it implies shame or a

lack of confidence. It could be a lack of confidence. It could be a lack of confidence. It could be

a lack of confidence. It could be a lack of confidence. It could be a lack of confidence. It could be a lack of confidence.

It creates this weird dissonance for the client. The goal is open, honest, translated integration.

You stand in both worlds without apology. The practitioner’s power really does come

from that both and approach. Yes. We’re not choosing between

the laboratory and the ceremony. We hold both rigorous science and ancient wisdom,

both measurable labs and energetic assessment. And every successful case you manage,

where you effectively use level two language to collaborate with a conventional doctor

and achieve a healing outcome based on a level one assessment.

That provides undeniable proof that these worlds can thrive together.

The practitioner truly becomes the bridge builder, demonstrating they can see the luminous

body and read the lab report with equal skill. With equal skill, equal integrity and equal

confidence. And for you, our listener, mastering this translation is an act of service. It

allows these profound, deep healing modalities to reach a much broader population that would

otherwise be gated by skepticism. It’s about accessibility. It is. So keep those key references

in mind. And if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them in the comments below.

Thank you for taking this deep dive with us. And here is a final provocative thought for you to

consider. Based on our discussion, connecting that ego medicine to meaning and chronic pain.

If this framework suggests that chronic illness is often rooted in a misalignment

with one sacred purpose, what if that physical pattern you just can’t seem to shake the symptom

that functional medicine alone hasn’t resolved? What if it isn’t a physiological deficiency?

What if it’s a direct physical demand from your body and your energetic system to step

out of your comfort zone and into a new, higher purpose? What if the blockage you’re treating

is simply the shadow of your unlived destiny demanding transformation?
