Sometimes life happens causing us to be introspective and alter our views of reality, showing us a new perspective that we once resisted, but actually feeds our needs. I discuss Divine Intervention, spirituality, our needs and how they get taken care of for us and by the unseen- even something we misunderstood- when we slow down, notice the opportunities being presented to us, and are open to those possibilities. These are things I've been doing since I've not shared a podcast these past few months.

Welcome back to you. and welcome back to me.

The season of winter, with the holidays can be an immense time of overload, overwhelm and difficulty. Either with or without family members, it can be a challenge. That's okay, and it is temporary. Listen to todays episode as I discuss how and why this happens as well as how to get through it, for yourself, and to be there for those you love. Happy Holidays Everybody! We made it through almost another full year ;)

Halloween is my most favorite time of year. This year we encountered a warm fall day, able to accommodate trick or treating without being too cold. I reminisce a bit in the episode of my childhood Halloween memories and of Uncle Sam's Penny Candy Store, with its owners who opened the doors for me into consulting.. ;) edit: those candies came in little coffins I believe. The garbage cans came with similar tasting candies, but were shaped like trash- fish bones and other throw away-type things.

Enjoy some normalcy as we wind down another season of an altered world... Happy Halloween everybody-

Much love-

Dr Francois

Naturopathic Living- wholistically addressing our healthcare needs- is a stepping stone, a gateway if you wlll, for truly living a life that feels magical. In order to embrace our true purpose, living authentically in the present moment, able to manifest our deepest desires, we need to start with honoring ourselves, completely. That comes in Sacred Living. Listen to my latest episode to discover what that means, how to do it and the simplest ways to get started on your path in living divinely. :)

Life can get pretty chaotic and seem nearly out of control at times. What do we do when this happens? When we feel pulled in different directions at once? When calls are coming through and demands keep getting placed on us and we feel like its starting to become unmanageable- doesnt matter with what, doesnt matter from what- could be family, friends, work commitments, home life tasks, our healthcare concerns... the list goes on.

What can we do to get back on track? How can we refocus and make this something we can feel some semblance of regularity with?

It's simple. Get back to the basics. In this episode I discuss some basics of naturopathic medicine that can be used quickly, regularly and right now- to help bring you back to a state of being.

The Rosicrucian Order recognizes cycles through life including the 7 cycle annual period that starts with the birth cycle, and switches cycles every 52 days, ending the year with the seventh cycle- the last 52 days up to your birthday. For my podcast, its 7th cycle has been the past few weeks where I have been silent, not producing an episode. Listen as I explain some of the exciting things I've been doing lately as well as get an understanding of who's Leah, what anything has to do with ISTA and why any of it has anything to do with the death cycle. Welcome Back everybody- Season 3!! 

Time is a man-made construct that doesn't mean anything except when it comes to meaning making about events, and planned gatherings. As we reopen the world post-CoVid shutdown, how has your sense of time evolved? Living in the present moment, at every moment, leads to the capacity to resolve life's occurrences without focusing on either the past or the future. Listen to see how this might relate to you, and what you can do to become more mindful and aware of the present moment. #time #freedom #courage #awareness #resolution

The only way we can see anything is from our own unique perspective, which oftentimes doesn't actually see what's right in front of us, but rather, is overshadowed by our past, our beliefs and our insecurities trying to keep us safe. When we are able to step outside of ourselves, and view things from someone else's perspective, truly seeing the world through their eyes, we can broaden our capacity for empathy, open our awareness and expand our ability to understand another. Having the potential to do this also shows that if we aren't happy with our present, or have difficulties overcoming our past, all we need to do is gain a new perspective on it, ourselves, and our dreams and we can change our lives. Good luck everybody :) Dr Francois-

As we are hopefully coming out of this pandemic, there has become an intense need for addressing mental healthcare and the use of psychedelics/sacred plant medicines. Luc discusses intimately the use of truffles and how, in his organization, they are utilized beneficially. He explains how one would tripsit, what that looks like and offers support and guidance for not only those looking to experience psilocybin, but also for those looking to enter this field as a guide, therapist or entrepreneur. Luc and his team- Immy, Joanna, Ellen, Niels, Elsa and Liam, can be found at https://psychedelicinsights.com/ #veterans can access assistance for therapy via research opportunities through Heroic Hearts found at https://psychedelicwarriors.com/  End-of-life palliative care patients and caregivers can access more information at https://palliativepsychedelics.com/ Leadership development programs are available through https://psychedelic-coaching.com/

Collectively there is a lot of unraveling occurring in the world right now. Old ways of thinking are being challenged and we are facing having to reject the ways we are being misunderstood so that we can finally break free from old patterns. The time has come for us to face the music, represent ourselves authentically, and be willing to become vulnerable in our expression of authenticity. Why? Because we are so close to obtaining the lives of our dreams, right now- Also, Friday, April 16, from 6-9p CST, I will be offering an online workshop, "Uncovering Spiritual Bypassing" because once we are able to recognize that which brings us down, we are that much stronger against its efforts to keep us down. Spiritual Bypassing is the act of disallowing someone to feel their full authentic self, using guilt and shame, and never results in a healthier sense of safe. It interferes with our growth and ascension.

Oftentimes the thing that's standing in our way is actually ourselves.

When we fight and struggle with acceptance, ESPECIALLY when it's with receiving what it is that we want, and have been desiring and asking for, we torture ourselves by not allowing whatever it is to be appreciated by us.

Rather than refusing to acknowledge what is, and letting ourselves enjoy the benefits of what can nourish us, simply trusting we are worthy enough to get what we actually want can help us immensely.

The key is surrendering... to what is, what can be, and ultimately, who we really are. Powerful.

As we get closer to reaching our goals, visions and dreams, we can feel overwhelmed at the realization that what we've wanted for so long is finally well within reach. This alone can be frightening, as merging realities of not having, to having can sometimes be incredibly scary and feel like we are not in control of the situation. This happens when the momentum we've built up takes over and change happens... leading to a dissolving of our boundaries and a resetting of our edges.  Explore a little of what this looks like as well as how and why we get limited in the first place! #changehappens #levelingup #newrealities #transfomation

I've decided to create a YouTube Channel and call it "Dr Francois and My New Best Friend". I'll be interviewing some truly inspirational people, helping spread the word about who they are and what awesome things they do. Why? Because many people haven't learned about all the wonderful opportunities there are. By knowing certain people, and understanding age-old teachings, you'll be able to access yet to be discovered parts of yourself through the wisdom they provide. Whenever I meet someone that I find over the top that keeps me sitting on the edge of my seat, I'm going to be bring them straight to you. Before that gets in full swing though, I'm sharing the audio for the first episode.  Please let me introduce you to Arja Hendrikx. I discuss how I met her, why she's so amazing, what kinds of things she's doing moving forward and why I call her #mynewbestfriend Her course starts soon!

With the recent discovery of the loss of my son's older half-brother... I'm pulled into reflections on life, and the temporariness of it all. Meaning, purpose, choice and directionality all are prominent in my thoughts.

Where does this take you? How can this be a wake-up call for intentionality for your life?

I offer a practical application of a technique often used to move us through difficulties, please join me-

As we continue forward beyond the havoc of 2020, we are witness to the calamity of a display of unaccountable toxic masculinity in the political arena of the United States. Toxic masculinity, as evidenced imo through Christianity (and although unmentioned, all patriarchal monotheistic religions), and therefore encouraged, enforced and downright expected from society actually causes monumental damage within society.

Honoring both the feminine and masculine while owning ones choices and actions, while sitting through the discomfort of uncomfortable conversations, is the only way of being authentic. Moving forward isn't scary because of moving into the unknown, it's because we are afraid of being surprised yet again by unexpected trauma, like we've experienced in the past. 

Rather, let's move into the unknown of 2021, and bring with it our ability to see clearly that which we witness, calling out what we see and holding each other and ourselves accountable. Sovereign beings abound!

Holidays are times for sharing of experiences... multi-dimensionally- we exist in a complex way with differing dynamics. Not only in the constitutions of our families, but in how we relate to and with them, and of how we show up in that dynamic. Once we are able to recognize that we in fact exist in mind, body, heart and soul, we can allow ourselves to recognize all the ways we receive our loved ones- even well after they are no longer here with us. If CoVid has shown me anything in 2020, it's that our experiences are always our experiences and the love we've shared within our families (chosen and otherwise) exists long after they are no longer in our physical presence- for whatever reasons.

Today's episode discusses this, as well as offers insight into a present I received this year- a perfect example of the reality of the life we live.

Enjoy everybody, and Happy Holidays!!

Much love-

Dr Francois

In this episode I talk with Chi, a man I recently met during the online Oneness festival. I wanted to interview Chi and have him share his story because I witnessed an amazing transformation within him that I wanted to spotlight and encourage him to grow and feel into... being his authentic self... to really support his successes moving forward. Also, to let him share his journey and the decisions he made along the way which led him to him deciding the risk was worth it to change. 

He attributes his inspiration, successes and decisions to Dr Donny Epstein, DC, Jiddu Krishnamurti, rapper Eyedea, with shout outs to Tony Robbins and Gary Vaynerchuk. To contact Chi and connect on discord to be a part of his hip-hop community, please find him on IG @infinite_c_h_i

New acoustics today. Why? Because I was multi-tasking... and recorded from my tub 😉Why? Because I made a commitment to you, and to myself, and to @David Molan and all of the techs and attendees and facilitators and @Eugene Hedlund with One World Tantra Festival and @Shakti Elara with The Pursuit of Pleasure tantra festival, and I was the only one that could get done what needed to get done for what I've commited myself to. Huge shoutout to all our beautiful @TechNinjas that have spent the past 1+ week and will continue through a few more days providing support for these amazing tantra festivals... tickets may still be available- as recordings come with your ticket price and are available for a month. I'll let the episode speak for itself- Many thanks my loves!!  tantrafestival.online/LEEANNE25 (OWTF) festivaltantra.com (PoP)

Especially right now, we are in need of connecting, worldwide. The Tantra community has adapted well and is offering festivals virtually... Tantra is a way of life, of existing, being and connecting with yourself as well as others. It can involve love-making and sex but doesnt have to. Many people practice tantra without engaging in sex. It's a way of being conscious and authentic.

Join me in the upcoming online tantra festivals to discover more about this wonderful world of self-exploration, self-discovery and healing so essential for us all, right now.

One World Tantra Festival: tantrafestival.online/LEEANNE (discount code LEEANNE25) is happening Nov 20-27, and the Pursuit of Pleasure: festivaltantra.com will be directly after, Nov 27-29. Check them both out- see who will be facilitating workshops, read about what you can partake in and learn. Tech and emotional support volunteer roles can be traded in lieu of purchasing a ticket (discount code available for 25% off through OWTF) .

See you soon!
