Here’s a fun fact.

If you lived in an old-school shamanic society and went to the local medicine person complaining of feeling completely drained or disheartened, the first line of questioning probably wouldn’t be about your physical symptoms.

It’s highly unlikely anyone would check your blood pressure, ask about your sleep hygiene, or verify that your retirement fund was safe.

Instead, according to author Gabrielle Roth, you’d more likely be asked one or more of four seemingly unrelated—to the Western mind anyway—questions:

When did you quit dancing?

How long ago did you stop singing?

When was the last time you were enchanted by a story?

When did you last find comfort away from the madding crowd in your own silence?

This is Sol Luckman, and you’re listening to SOL SPEAKS.

Today I invite you to shift your paradigm in terms of what causes illness and what we can do ourselves to address many of our own health and mental health problems.

The diagnostic framework that allopathic medicine is based on views our modern epidemic of exhaustion as just some sort of “chemical imbalance.”

But what if, instead, we’re looking at something else entirely?

What if we’re confronted with a severe and dangerous loss of connection to the fundamental physical rhythms of being human?

Moving (or should I say, grooving?) on now …

In today’s deep dive, I’m honored and thrilled to have you with me as I explore actionable strategies for getting back our groove—individually and even collectively—in a world that seems stuck in a deep, dark rut of its own.

Some of this material will be intense in the way it invites profound and possibly uncomfortable introspection as to why so many of us in modern society feel so fundamentally drained by it.

I’m going to look at the architecture of daily anxiety, and even more importantly, I promise to unpack a surprisingly ancient and eminently physical antidote to this problem.

This podcast builds on my most recent book, GET OUT OF HERE ALIVE, and also looks forward to the forthcoming sequel that I believe will absolutely knock your socks off.
