Podcast
What if your skin was more than just a physical barrier? In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the spiritual and cultural dimensions of skin, exploring how it reflects your inner emotions, beliefs, and even your mental state.
From ancient shamanic practices to cutting-edge psychoneuroimmunology, we uncover how skin conditions have long been viewed as mirrors of spiritual and emotional states. Learn how your mental health can manifest physically through your skin and why practices like mindfulness and gut health are integral to maintaining skin wellness.
We also explore how cultures worldwide use clothing as a “second skin,” expressing deeper values through traditions like head coverings and ritual bathing. Plus, discover how tattoos, piercings, and other adornments serve as powerful tools for storytelling and identity.
Whether you’re fascinated by the connection between mind and body or curious about the cultural narratives woven into skin, this episode will transform how you see and care for yourself—inside and out.
