1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,519
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Coast to Coast AM. My guest is

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 2: Lisa Fazzio, and she has a book out called Della

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: Medachina and we're talking about the book is talking about

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: Italian folk medicine. And I'd love to find out from you, Lisa,

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: how what types of herbs that you can recommend for

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: just first of all, for healing if someone has, for example,

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: upper respiratory illnesses are going around a lot at this

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 2: time of year, can you recommend anything for breathing and lungs.

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: And I know that you have a history in herbal

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: first aid, and I think that's so fascinating. Can you

12
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: tell us a little bit about that. We can go

13
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 2: through a couple of different herbal remedies.

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 3: Sure.

15
00:00:52,640 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 4: So for respiratory conditions, my favorite and like the most

16
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 4: the one, the one plant that addresses almost every respiratory

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 4: issue is mullen.

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And what do you do with the mullein.

19
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 4: Well, usually we use the leaf mullen leaf and just

20
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 4: a simple tea is often one way to use it.

21
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 4: Now this time of year, for instance, as we're going

22
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 4: in the fall I live in the northeast New York

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 4: State and at around X so it's starting to get

24
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 4: cold and flu and all the things are starting to

25
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 4: will start to increase. So I start preparing this time

26
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 4: of year with different herbs, and mullen is one of them,

27
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 4: which I put in my tea almost every single day.

28
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 4: So a simple tea can be made with the leaf

29
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 4: and I have it growing here.

30
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: What about I mean our the drops good or with the.

31
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that so that tincture or the alcohol extract

32
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: or usually it's going to be an alcohol extract.

33
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: Uh, is great?

34
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 4: You know you just take a dropper.

35
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: So could that be used like cough medicine where it

36
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: would stop the spasms of coughing.

37
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 4: It's not particularly anti spasmodic, like we have others that

38
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 4: might do that. But yes, so mullin. So every plant

39
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 4: has a certain has a certain set of things that.

40
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: They're really good at.

41
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 4: So mullin is really good at like if you've you've

42
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 4: got like a lot of dryness, so like more for

43
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 4: dry cough like smoker's cough. But also it'll help pull mucus,

44
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 4: help a little bit with expectoration, and then it also

45
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: helps to tone the tissue so that the tissue can

46
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 4: your lung tissue.

47
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: Can function better and rebuild.

48
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 4: So it's kind of like an overall so you know,

49
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 4: there might be depending on the condition, there might be

50
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 4: other IRBs, like it's in an acute illness that I

51
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 4: would use with it. You could use it alone too,

52
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: like if that's all you had.

53
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: Well, it's always great.

54
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: So the other one that I really like is marshmallow

55
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 4: melova and the root. You can use the root, leaf

56
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 4: or flour, but the root in particular for dry hacking, coughs,

57
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 4: sore throat where there's just like a lot of heat inflammation.

58
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 4: I like to make a cold infusion. So cold infusion

59
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 4: it is really simple. You just have some marshmallow root,

60
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: which you can buy at any herb store. Usually you

61
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: can order online, and then you put you know, I

62
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 4: don't know, a table spoon in like like a little

63
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 4: jam canning jar. I don't know what size those are,

64
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: pint or half pint. Put like a tablespoon, pour cold

65
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 4: water over it, drill it on it. You can shake

66
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 4: it every now and then you can leave it in.

67
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 4: Just leave it like that. It really quickly develops into

68
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 4: like this really kind of slimy, mucillogenous drink okay, and

69
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 4: then you strain it and you drink it and it's

70
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: great for restaurants, sactions, digestion. An Italian folk medicine, malva

71
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 4: or marshmallow is kind of one of those elixir kind

72
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 4: of plants. It's like a panacea. It's like anytime you

73
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 4: need anything, you.

74
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: Can take marshmallow roots.

75
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: Partly because it'll leads very arid, you know, in a

76
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 4: dry place, a hot and dry place. So a plant

77
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 4: like marshmallow that's cooling, and it is very appropriate for

78
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 4: anything where there's hot, dryness.

79
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 3: Ah.

80
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: And yes, especially now where it's going to be getting

81
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: into the colder months and the the rise of these

82
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: upper respiratory flus definitely is on the rise as more

83
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: people are going inside. And good to know those are

84
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: really really good things to know.

85
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: Yep.

86
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: So the irvlism can be used for not only for

87
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: health reasons, but also for clearing reasons. What types of

88
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: herbs do you recommend for Like, you know how sage

89
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: is known as clearing the energy in a room. Is

90
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 2: there a particular urge the herb that you feel that

91
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: is good for energy clearing in a space?

92
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: Sure?

93
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 4: So We have different names for this in Italian folk medicine.

94
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 4: Fumagaccione or a humigation is one of the work, one

95
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 4: of the herbs, one of the words, and yes there's several,

96
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 4: and one of my favorites is mugwar Artemusia, So several

97
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 4: different Artemisia species that are native to southern Italy and

98
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 4: the Mediterranean, and any of those can be used for

99
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 4: those purposes.

100
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 3: For clearing energies. Right, yep.

101
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: What do you think about sage? Does it do the

102
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 2: same thing or is that a different culture?

103
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 4: Well, there's different kinds of stages, right, so any stage,

104
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 4: any stage will work.

105
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now what does that do? I mean, what tell

106
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 3: me how that works?

107
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: The properties in a plant that could actually clear energy?

108
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: Okay, well that depends on your Yeah, so there's there's

109
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 4: many right, So if we look at it from like

110
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 4: the scientific view, we know that a lot of these

111
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 4: clearing energetic clearing plants are have chemical actual chemical constituent

112
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: that will actually like their anti infect their anti microbial

113
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 4: that they will clear actually clear the air in a space.

114
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: So that's one.

115
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, So that's one. That's one thing. And then energetically,

116
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: the idea is that the spirits the other animate forces

117
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 4: in a space will be repelled by.

118
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so that's two different ways of making of

119
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: clearing something.

120
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 4: Well the other so there's one other. So the other

121
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 4: one is it will repel or it will attract certain

122
00:07:54,640 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: protective energies. So h in like, for instance, different types

123
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 4: of trance work, which is a big part of Mediterranean

124
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 4: history and spirituality, in sense, different types of plants burning

125
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 4: would be used in temples and other sacred spaces during, before, during,

126
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 4: and after certain ceremonies and rituals to invoke particular deities.

127
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean historically you have the frank concense right right,

128
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: and those are biblical herbs.

129
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 3: What were the are those?

130
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: Do those also have the same meaning in Italian folk medicine.

131
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 4: Well, those aren't native to southern Italy. They're more like

132
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 4: going towards like North Africa. I'm not actually so sure,

133
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 4: but in the levant area.

134
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: So here's the thing.

135
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: Every plant is going to have a different You sort

136
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 4: of can think of it as a code, so it's

137
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 4: like a code or an energetic imprint, or you could

138
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 4: also think of it as a pattern of consciousness that

139
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 4: it will match with and each of the gods and

140
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 4: goddesses or the deities and folk Catholicism, you could say

141
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 4: also the saints will have a matching pattern, so you

142
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 4: would you would choose different formulas, mixtures of herbs, sometimes

143
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 4: with other substances, like for instance, with kiffy, which is

144
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: a Greek type of temple incense, and sometimes there'd be

145
00:09:54,120 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 4: like honey in it, in wine seeds, berries, and it

146
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 4: was made in a specific way and that would match

147
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 4: with it's coated for whatever energy you want to bring

148
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 4: into the space.

149
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 3: Oh, very interesting, and.

150
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 4: This would match with this also matches with rhythms, musical rhythms, sounds, vibrations,

151
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 4: as well as chance and prayers.

152
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: That would be something great I would love to have

153
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: in here. But we would set off the smoke alarms.

154
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: So is there a few other way to do that

155
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: that doesn't involve the smoke.

156
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 4: Yes, so it's not gonna be insane because smoke is clearing, right.

157
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 4: But you know, you know, one of the things now

158
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 4: people do I s people do is use like sprays,

159
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 4: you know, like you could use an essential oil in

160
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 4: a spray bot in a spray bottle or like uh,

161
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 4: some type of other display in a spray bottle. Sometimes

162
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 4: people use flower assences. So you could use a which

163
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: is a whole different thing, but you could put flower accents.

164
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 4: It's actually the most ecologically sustainable would be to use

165
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 4: a flower assence.

166
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: Okay and spray your space so that yes, that would

167
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: make a little bit more sense. So what flower essences

168
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 2: would work for clearing a space?

169
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 3: Yes?

170
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 4: And and the body?

171
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: Oh okay, ye yep, please the body important? Yes, yeah,

172
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: so rose or is there any te.

173
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 4: So there's there's flower assences that are just like smoke.

174
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: There's flower acids and incense. There's flower assences that are

175
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 4: more have more of an affinity, have more potency in

176
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 4: terms of like protact and clearing. So you know, garlic, okay, garlic,

177
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 4: garlic in any form uh is used that way. So garlics,

178
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 4: you can use the garlic flower essence.

179
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 3: Yarrow, yarrow, yarrow. Yeah, I've heard of yarrow rue. Oh yeah,

180
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 3: mm hmm. Rosemary mm hmmm.

181
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 4: I like to burn rosemary, but you can also do

182
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 4: the flower essence.

183
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: So rosemary is wonderful. Even to cook with rosemary is wonderful.

184
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 4: Yes, rosemary is wonderful.

185
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it's across the board. And so also

186
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: so we've talked a lot about protection. What about blessing?

187
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: What about blessings? Ways, Yeah, in terms of either rich

188
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: or plant dialects or anything between herbal healing and the

189
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 2: traditions quick blessings.

190
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 4: Right, So yeah, So blessings again is the invocation of

191
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 4: a pattern of consciousness, right, such as in a Talian

192
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,599
Speaker 4: folk medicine, a saint or some type of other type.

193
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: Of deity where a lot of.

194
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 4: Times in Italian folks, and we're going to be using

195
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 4: a prayer, so for instance, the Hail Mary, okay in

196
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: that will invoke the Virgin Mary and other other ways

197
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 4: that we would do. That would be like petitioning a

198
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: particular saint. And there's different ways you petition saints. So

199
00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 4: Sandiseppi or Saint Joseph is well, we petitioned Saint Joseph.

200
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 4: This is kind of funny, and probably many of your

201
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 4: listeners have heard of this. I don't know. Is that

202
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 4: say you want to you have a house that you

203
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:17,599
Speaker 4: want to sell, yes, because he rules real estate and

204
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 4: and it's not selling. So one of the praes is

205
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 4: have you heard of this?

206
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 3: To bury the statue upside down or something?

207
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 4: Yes?

208
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: Yes?

209
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 4: And then the thing is you have to go back,

210
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,479
Speaker 4: and you're you're supposed to go back and get him

211
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 4: once you sold the house. So that's that's the tricky

212
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 4: part of somebody's already living in.

213
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: So why does that work? Why the upside down? Where

214
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: does that stem from?

215
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 4: I'm not sure, honestly, I don't know why he has

216
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 4: to be upside.

217
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: Down and buried and buried.

218
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 4: That. I'm not sure where that comes. Where that comes from?

219
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 4: You know, I think probably if I had a guess,

220
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 4: I'd say, you know, we're putting him into the other world.

221
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 4: We're connecting. We're taking this solid material object imbibing it.

222
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 4: You know, there's a certain prayer that you say, So

223
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 4: you're going to say the prayer and then you're going

224
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 4: to put him underground because that's like our access to

225
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 4: the underworld. But I don't know, I'm making this up,

226
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 4: like I'm just one. I'm guessing just knowing what I

227
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 4: know that that's probably that could be one of the

228
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 4: ideas is like, so the thing is that the saints

229
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 4: and the deities plants is there are threads that connect.

230
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: Us to.

231
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 4: The social field beyond what we can see. Right, So

232
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 4: it's like the field of not just the human relationships

233
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 4: that we're in, or the material or physical relationships that

234
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 4: we're in, but also the spiritual relationships that we're in

235
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 4: that are actually part of social life in this tradition,

236
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 4: and so these things. But because we're in this, we're

237
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 4: in this three dimensional form, we have to there's things

238
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 4: that we humans have designed and developed to help us

239
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 4: to connect or link or build bridges to the spiritual

240
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 4: or the divine.

241
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what the entire concept around full medicine is

242
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: is that it's possible, and it's been done throughout history,

243
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: and I love that you're bringing it to modern times

244
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: through the book and teaching us different ways to connect

245
00:16:54,520 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: with the ancestral traditions and they have worked in the passage.

246
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen an apparition or some type of

247
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: thing that has actually manifested itself?

248
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean I don't know. I'm not sure what

249
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 4: do you mean by manifested itself? Like, I've never tried

250
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 4: to make anything man like. I've never tried to do.

251
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 2: That, Okay, Yeah, I mean in terms of making it

252
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 2: seeing an actual spirit or anything that could help elaborate

253
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: something like that.

254
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 4: I mean I've seen things that I might you might

255
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 4: say were like a ghost.

256
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, something like that, right, Yeah, but not.

257
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 4: I've never intentionally tried to see They've never done anything

258
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 4: to try to do that.
