39. Using Witchcraft to Connect with Our Chinese Ancestry ft. Mimi Young

Mimi Young is a spirit communicator. She left the corporate 9-5 world to invest in a relationship with the unseen. In this episode, we explore how Shamanism is a way to honor our ancestry, what is dream hygiene and how you can benefit, and how to get back in touch with your cultural roots that have been lost through migration and cultural revolutions. 

“When we can return to our roots, practices and customs, in the context of magic and spirituality, it is an act of decolonizing because then you are saying - I am Chinese, and this is what we do” - Mimi Young

Takeaways:

• Listen to your surroundings and traditional folklore stories
• Reconnecting with your spirituality IS claiming your culture and identity. It is part of decolonization.
• Traditional Chinese Medicine is an art & science with connections to mediumship 
• Treat going to sleep like going out with friends; spend time to get ready for it 
• Politics IS informed by spirituality 
• The concept of permission is rooted in enslavement
• Learn to build systems that cultivate more serotonin rather than dopamine
