In this episode of The Makaranda Podcast, Eleanor welcomes the insightful Dr. Elise Sulser for an eye-opening conversation.

Dr. Elise explores the profound intersection of life and death, discussing how our culture often numbs both physical and emotional pain, robbing us of the spiritual depth that comes with fully experiencing discomfort. Together, they examine how numbing—whether through medications or avoidance—prevents true healing and personal growth.

As they delve into these themes, intuition emerges as a key element in navigating life’s greatest thresholds, from birth to death. They explore how bypassing pain can block us from integrating the lessons that come from heartbreak and loss. Eleanor shares powerful insights from her work with hospice care patients, highlighting the importance of confronting and embracing pain instead of running from it.

For anyone curious about the wisdom that comes from embracing the full spectrum of the human experience, this conversation will be thought-provoking and transformative. Tune in to explore how embracing discomfort can lead to true healing and spiritual expansion.

This meditation focuses on trusting ourselves. Eleanor Evans Medina guides deep, mindful breathing, centering on the womb space. You can gently rock forward to back or sit still as you ground yourself. It is best to sit outside in nature. Tune into trust and love.

The practice encourages releasing stress, connecting with the nurturing energy of the Divine Feminine, and cultivating gratitude.

We pray you can carry this sense of trust and calm into your daily life.
