Mind, Body, and Spirit: How Holistic Experts Approach Total Wellbeing

I was recently featured by Mystic Mag in a Mind, Body, and Spirit article that I’m thrilled to share. The piece includes diverse healing practitioners from various backgrounds, offering a rich tapestry of holistic approaches to wellbeing. Check out the full article here: https://www.mysticmag.com/psychic-reading/total-wellbeing/ 

My contribution focuses on preparation practices I use when guiding clients through spiritual ceremonies or work with sacred plant allies such as Hapé, African Dream Beans, and other traditional medicines. These insights are particularly valuable for those preparing their bodies for profound experiences like Kambo or Bufo ceremonies, or for travelers planning ayahuasca journeys to the Amazon. The guidance emphasizes how crucial pre-medicine dietary preparation is for meaningful transformational experiences.

I often find inspiration in the work of Rudolf Steiner, whose wisdom continues to influence my practice through his writings and sometimes even in dreamwork. Below is my contribution to the article:

“We Prepare Clients for Deep Healing Work”

Victoria Amador, Founder & Transpersonal Healing Practitioner, explores the Body-Mind Connection through a Transpersonal Approach to Clarity and Healing.

“As a transpersonal healing practitioner, I’ve witnessed how conscious dietary choices lay the foundation for emotional and spiritual breakthroughs. At Soul Healing Tribe, we prepare clients for deep healing work—whether through meditation, dreamwork, or sacred plant allies—by guiding them toward intentional eating that enhances their ability to access deeper states of awareness.

Preparing the Body for Transformation

When the body isn’t weighed down by stimulants or heavy foods, its energy can be directed toward emotional insight and spiritual growth. Scientific research, including Dr. Bessel van der Kolk’s trauma studies and Dr. Stanislav Grof’s transpersonal psychology, confirms what ancient traditions have long understood: the body stores experience beyond conscious awareness, profoundly influencing our healing journey.

Conscious Eating for Emotional Balance

Drawing from traditional wisdom, we recognize how specific organs process emotions:

• Liver — Processes anger & frustration
• Stomach — Facilitates emotional digestion
• Intestines — Absorbs life lessons & releases emotional waste

For deep healing preparation, we recommend:

• A 3-day cleanse of light, nutrient-rich foods
• Eliminating processed foods, alcohol, and stimulants
• Maintaining hydration with pure water
• Extended preparation (7-21 days) for intensive healing journeys with traditional medicines

Creating Space for Deeper Awareness

Mental clarity and spiritual insight emerge when we minimize interference. Like a still pond revealing its depths, reducing distractions—through mindful eating, periods of silence, and conscious choices—heightens intuition and emotional resilience.

This approach isn’t about achieving perfection but setting intention. When we nurture our bodies with awareness, we unlock the potential for profound transformation.”
