The King Within: Modern Masculinity and the Sovereign Man 001: A Journey into Movement Medicine With Ya'acov Darling Khan
As the symbolic beginning of the podcast, this is the perfect way to start. Ya'acov Darling Khan has the wisdom of an elder and the humbleness of a friend. He is a modern-day shaman with over 30 years of experience teaching globally and is known for his down-to-earth strength, humility, and humor. In this conversation, he shares the knowledge he has gleaned from his studies with gifted healers from around the world, from the Arctic to the Amazon.
Ya'acov and I discuss:
- The physiological effects of the Shamanic drum on the human body
- Using dance to transform self-consciousness into a conscious presence
- The challenges of Western culture that lead to unbalanced masculine and feminine energy
- The power that comes from embracing anger
- Uncovering the roots of depression
- Ya’acov’s guided drumming meditation
