Not sure which country you were trained in , tho the top photo here seems to be one of the waterfalls i bathe in ?? Anyhows , from my experiences having had a long term doctor/pharma partner and many friends who are doctors, and an ex who taught tibetan healing I have to say the West has a lot of doctors who are interested in and well versed in ancestral methods of healing. We also have a lot who have been so pressured and busy they had little access to this stuff. While the world comes together at rapid pace , sadly the medics are becoming increasingly divorced from these traditional areas of knowledge. Real healing is pretty obvious when you stumble across it. For whatever odd reason I've been able to see what may be termed 'kundalini' since my earliest memories and so I believe it to be an innate sense of health .. In recent years I was finally able to discuss this in great detail with many doctors and psychiatrists and neurologists who were very keen to integrate these things into their understanding and practise .. so basically people *know... I think our main battle now is preserving our rights to bodily autonomy and freedom to explore and exercise these deeper more archaic methods of health .

“Unfortunately, we live in a time that normalizes and glorifies discarding our forefathers.”

Agree! This is so true of many aspects of modernity!! Just watched a couple documentaries, one on the trappers of the Taiga in Russia and another of the Bajau aka Sea Gypsy. It makes me mad to think of the “technology” we are losing by forcing indigenous people out of their way of life. We don’t respect our elders/ancestors and their amazing wisdom. We wouldn’t be here if they were so stupid.

Anyhoot…I hope you’re able to integrate what you’ll learn from your reading of the wise ones which I believe comes down to being in harmony with nature.
