My guest is Dr. Manish Plaha MD

Show Notes - in February I interviewed Doctor Plaha on my podcast, Empathetic Witness. I reached out to him after I began taking a course he is delivering online, and in one month I have already experienced a profound shift in who I am and discovered a way to see a possibility to have healthy whole relationships. Who should listen to this podcast:

  • People having a difficult relationship with others, family, in-laws, business partners, spouse or life partner.
  • People who recognize there is more to life and wish to show up big in service for others
  • People who are curious about our limiting beliefs and how to change that narrative
  • Meditators who want tap into a deeper state of being
  • People on a self-growth journey looking for a pathway

He is a UK trained medical doctor and General Practitioner. He designs transformational experiences involving the heart, mind, body connection resulting in shifts in health and mindset energy which leads to the discovery of improvement in well-being. For example recognizing that life has even more to offer than what we've experienced, and the way to discover our true potential and highest quality of life is through an exploration and transformation in the inner landscape. In this podcast we discuss many practical ways to accomplish this.

He designs transformational experiences involving the heart, mind, body connection resulting in shifts in health and mindset energy, leading to the discovery of improvement in well-being. For example, recognizing that life has even more to offer than what we've experienced, and despite achieving our goals, there's a feeling that something profound remains untapped, preventing us from reaching our greatest potential.

Our conversation covered the following

  • Breathwork
  • Indian residential schools in Canada
  • recalibrating body energy centres
  • Aphantasia, the inability to voluntarily form images in one's mind
  • Shadow work
  • Ayahuasca, an Indigenous medicinal plant
  • Meta meditation

  • legacy question
  • An effective method to share insightful and beneficial tools with family and friends

About the Podcast

Empathetic Witness
Personal stories that will encourage and motivate listeners to thrive rather than survive
Season 1 of Empathetic Witness produced seventeen (17) episodes and was my debut into the podcast world. I found the process to be exciting and exhilarating. The podcasts satiated by curious nature, aided me in meeting and getting to know new people, and discovering new knowledge and information. Sharing is an important part of Indigenous Peoples ways of being and doing. I want to share the experience of discovery of new skills and the feeling of purpose and a reason to be and to wake up each day with podcast listeners.
 
Empathetic Witness wants you to challenge assumptions about Indigenous Peoples. It encourages Indigenous and non-Indigenous persons to embrace true reconciliation as we examine truths, explore reparations, and show up in the world willing to learn and accept the responsibility of reconciliation. Empathetic Witness addresses a whole array of topics encompassing the impact of the creation of residential schools, cultural genocide, the Indian Act, mental health, resilience, and survival. The end goal is to have every listener finish the podcast of the day with a sense of hope and optimism no matter how difficult the conversation.
 
Each podcast is an hour long. Listening can occur in a commute to and from work, a road trip, an hour set aside for self actualization, or even while preparing a meal.
 
All podcasts involve conversations with Indigenous people who share their experiences and honour each and everyone of us with their enthusiasm, presence, and wisdom.  
 
Season 2 has begun with the same enthusiasm and a new focus. The new focus will include generating more podcasts with a larger audience and an expansion of learnings.  
The initial 1st season had a vision of supporting Seventh Generation Indigenous Foundation and Training (GIFT) seventhgift.ca and its focus was trauma related.

The 2nd season will concentrate solely on Empathetic Witness and its journey. It will include less conversations on addictions and trauma and will concentrate more on triumph and resilience. Empathetic Witness guest will be inspirational First Nation community leaders who will share personal stories that will encourage and motivate listeners to thrive rather than survive. 
 
Future episodes will include interviews with a human rights activist from Lima Peru, an Indigenous Musician, a Dene language keeper, a political leader on economic development, exciting and motivating First Nations self-sufficiency narratives, and much more.
 
Grab a tea, listen and take part in the Empathetic Witness Podcast journey of discovery, excitement, and pride.  
 
See You There.
