The Apothecary Podcast With Lori Green

Hi Friends, Join me today for the introduction to our new series on The Grail. We begin by talking about the importance of myth and legend more broadly and then cover the highlights of Percival the Knight as he first encounters the mystical Grail. We then relate the plot moves and symbolism to the phases of consciousness we've been discussing in the podcast. As this series will focus on the female...

Hi Friends, Today we round out our summer sessions with a dive into Paramahansa Yogananda's ecstatic, radiant descriptions of the Authentic Self/I Am Consciousness in chapter 14, "An Experience in Cosmic Consciousness," of Autobiography of a Yogi. Indeed, one's "cerebral" knowledge of essence cannot compare to the experiential bliss and guidance available to each and every one of us. This precious...

Join me today for an amazing story: "The Tiger Swami" from Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda.

Join me today as we contemplate the deep mystery of the disembodied hands in the Baba Yaga folktale.

Hi Friends! Today's podcast is VERY IMPORTANT if you are working with strategies of quantum leaping. I am forever grateful to Lenka Lutonska's work and for her explanation of this PIVOTAL moment as we align with our desired dreams of the heart. Many practitioners of quantum strategy give up at this crucial phase. But Lenka guides us to an exciting and empowered understanding of what is actually ha...

Join me today for the final episode of our dive into the shadow functions of personality. In particular, we explore how to perceive and interact with the "unknown" at the borderlands of consciousness. Can we learn to feel comfortable in this ever deepening space?

Musical selection: Concussion by Nihoni

Today we begin a conversation about The Heroine's Journey, a journey that parallels our recent work with Persephone in her sovereignty as Queen of the Underworld. The Heroine's Journey differs from The Hero's Journey in several important ways, and we are indebted to Joseph Campbell, Maureen Murdock, and others who articulate and continue to expand upon these mythic, psychic realities.  Musica...
