Listen now (65 min) | In episode 69, Chris and Emma talked with Lian Brook-Tyler, shamanic healer, teacher of unity, podcaster, and co-founder of the Be Mythical podcast. In this rich and wide-ranging conversation, we dive into the intersections of mysticism, neurodivergence, spirituality, transformation, and awakenings—connecting these profound experiences to Dabrowski’s theory of positive disintegration.
We explore:
How neurodivergence can shape mystical and spiritual experiences.
The connection between shamanic practices, inner work, and positive disintegration.
The importance of doing the work of inner transformation and embracing the unknown.
The parallels between psychological and spiritual frameworks in understanding human development.
Lian’s mythical journey truly began when she was ruptured open to Spirit with the sudden death of her father—which led to her mysteriously recovering from 15 years of chronic pain, panic attacks and anxiety. That inexplicable transformation inspired her to leave a leadership role in the corporate world to immerse herself in discovering what creates pain and struggle, and conversely, how to create a life overflowing with love, magic, beauty and truth
Thank you for this ! I have been on a journey trying to understand non-ordinary states and how they lead to breakthroughs and inner transformation.... I am new to the theory but a myth junkie from childhood on and when you made the connection between Dabrowski's theory and the Kabbala (that I am only a dabbler in as a lifelong spiritual seeker) some of my own intuitive sense clicked into place about why this work is so important.....
I'm glad to hear this one resonated with you, Chris. I've been thinking so much lately about the process of learning to trust my intuition, especially when I have that internal click of information falling into place. I loved having this honest conversation with Lian, and I'm happy to know others have found it a valuable listen. Thank you for sharing this feedback!
