Ep. #233 - Redefining the Self - An Interview with author and visionary, Lindsay Fauntleroy I am so excited to have this interview and dance in this conversation with my guest Lindsay Fauntleroy. Lindsay is a visionary and an author. Before I move forward, I want to introduce her book as we will be talking about it throughout this chat. It’s called, In Our Element, Using the Five Elements as Soul Medicine to Unleash Your Personal Power. The foundation of this book follows the five elements that come out of Ancient Chinese Medicine – Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal. And she expanded those elements to show her readers how to utilize them in their lives.Lindsay has had the five elements as the center of her clinical practice for about 15 years. She explains that it’s not just about the body but about the patterns of thinking, of virtues and of unique ways of transforming and being in the world. Lindsay wrote the book from a very personal experience. She has been living with these elements for a very long time and wanted to create something authentic to her experience with indigenous healing traditions. She goes on to explain that according to the indigenous culture, the human mind is really part of the world mind. Said differently, our psyche lives in nature and nature reflects our psyche. Lindsay states, “This makes space for our healing to live out-loud. I think the elements make space for our lives to heal … and healing is not always serene, our lives are ridiculous and sometimes our pain can be exquisite!” It's all about balance, people. Each of these elements offers the sign of where our imbalance resides and it can also offer wisdom. By recognizing that you are heavy in one of the elements then you can do the work to re-balance yourself.
