Deep Healing: Body-Mind Connection, Psychedelics, and Emotional Wisdom with Shuna Morelli

 In this rich and engaging episode, we meet Shuna Morelli, the creator of the Body-Mind Bridge Institute, and explore the fascinating interplay between natural healing, the body's wisdom, and the power of psychedelics for deep emotional and physical healing. Shuna shares her comprehensive journey, starting as a high school teacher, evolving into a licensed hypnotherapist and massage therapist, to ultimately founding the Body-Mind Bridge Institute. Through her journey and written work, including titles like 'What if Symptoms Are Your Friend?', Shuna advocates for tuning into and interpreting the body's signals as a pathway to healing. She delves into her evolution into a 'psychedelic doula,' guiding individuals through transformative experiences with psychedelic substances, emphasizing safety, preparation, and the honoring of ancient wisdom from indigenous cultures. The conversation weaves through personal healing stories, the integration of Body-Mind Bridge techniques with psychedelic experiences, and the critical role of approaching oneself and these powerful tools with intention, respect, and openness. Shuna's work illuminates a path towards self-discovery, healing, and ultimately, a deeper connection with the self and the universe.
