- 'Awakening Our Ancient Potential for Health, Happiness & Creative Emergence'
Jon Young will share stories of ancient people and what their patterns of connection and awareness teach us about what's best for our being, and what's missing in modern times. We will hear stories of basic routines and practices people are using in modern times that integrate with busy lives and yield amazing results for awareness and connection. The power of these simple and effective routines is self-evident. Jon will share how--even though simple--people "step right past" the importance and potency of these tools, which are often hidden in plainview. There's magic and medicine for modern times to be shared by the fire!
First broadcast July 10th 2016
And yes: some people crave holidays, but to me every day is a holyday; you wake up (you might indeed nót have woken up from your sleep), say hi to the 50-or-so trillion cells that are your awesome body, thank your bed for a lovely sleep, open the curtains and greet the morning and all that makes up this beautiful world, getting another day to follow your passion, another day of surprises, another day where you may witness changes/growth etc etc etc yeiy!!! 🤪💚💚💚
Thank you. This is one of the best things I've heard in a while.
What an amazing talk. Jon is a wonderful story teller. It made me want to go to the bush and live with the people of the land for a time. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, your medicine.
"for a time"... not me. I don't plan on returning to whatever this is.
Wonderfully inspiring talk for the power of connection, and the need for it. Many thanks.
Great information, connecting to nature is needed
I think I have listened to this talk at least 5 times, including the time I was there in person, witnessing it happening live! Every few years I revisit it and I have forwarded it to God knows how many people. I find it so inspiring ✨️ 🙌
It's unfortunate that the talk is cut short for some reason.
@@vivian.joyinmovement I wondered about this. Good for you sharing it so much. I'm starting to share it too now since i found it a couple days ago. Currently it's at 4.4k views... let's see that number go way up.
@vivian.joyinmovement And I am one of those "God knows how many people"! :-) - and am thoroughly following your example of sharing whenever I can! Extremely grateful for you having shared this with me. Am about to send it on to someone else!!🥰
@@edw9013 🥳👏🙌
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Absolutely áwesome (and yes i cried 🤣!) 🌳🌚💚 🕊
I found he is Jon Young
There are sooooooooo many timestamps to highlight in this video, each worthy of its own PhD dissertation. Take, for instance, 48:47 - 49:37. Radical? Not for me. My younger daughter had amoebic dysentery that she picked up in the maternity recovery ward in a shitty (literal shit, not merely figurative) hospital. She couldn't digest breastmilk, and she fussed for months, even after recovering from the dysentery. One time i won a gentle debate about her with someone who identified her, labeled her, based on this pattern of fussing. But i saw more context... I said 'Try taking her out under the sky." She stopped fussing. I said "Now watch what happens if you take her inside."
We went back and forth, and eventually we were howling with laughter. I had noticed the pattern and quietly tested it, but until sharing the revelation i couldn't be sure. As early as perhaps 2 months old she was communicating her desire not to be in any house. Even on the breezy porch she might begin to complain, and not until taking her truly outdoors was she happy. Fast forward 12 years later her mom commented, "You know, she still doesn't like being in cars or trucks or buses. I don't know how she'll handle flying."

Or 51:01 - 51:47 Again, nope, not in that crowd myself (well, see below). My mom taught me by example to trust whatever internal clock and scale and thermometer and accelerometer etc this incredible symbiotic system we call our 'body' is. So even though i chuckle at the crowd chuckling at themselves, I get it. I've definitely experienced this degree of disconnection too, just not as the only reality, the way it is for so many around me. Instead, when i had a fob watch (mine was steel, heavy, satisfying,) back in my lawn-mowing early teen years, people would ask me the time and i could tell them the exact time to the minute, without lifting the shiny face from its bat-perch on my belt. I had noticed that when i was doing hard physical labour i only thought of the time on precise 15 min intervals, and not every 15 minutes, but, say, at 12:45pm and again at 3:15pm, when i would suddenly wonder what time it was, and check, and the second hand would be just closing in on the quarter-hr minute. My internal clock in any given day can be accurate with high reliability to within a second or two. Fast forward to today when i have a mountain of commitments, some of which i fail regularly to fulfill, my ability to do this cocktail party wizardry is greatly weakened, but in a very specific manner: Usually these days i can't even guess within 5 min of the actual time, let alone 5 or 10 seconds. But when i can, i have this Different feeling... a calm assurance and detachment... i couldn't care less if i was wrong, but i know i'm right anyhow. And i can do it still. I did just two weeks ago, after not seeing any time piece in over 2 hours, i didn't hesitate to answer the question 'what time is it' ignoring my cellphone. I just answered, to the minute, accurately.
'Just' two weeks ago. Yeah. And when i was young it was most of the time, over 50% of my waking time i had that level of awareness, if i had to guess. Maybe not an accident i was given the book 'Grandfather's Gold Watch' for one of my birthdays... "What have you done with your time? What have you done with your name?"

55:11 - 56:24 This is really great... but... how do you wipe off those particles of dust associated with a culture (meaning every post-industrial, every industrial, and also every agricultural society i've ever heard of) which categorically denies young people the chances to experiment with erotic play? Might that 'We're just doing what's best for you' bullshit leave some dust clinging to our feet, and in the scenario of certain types of group efforts, like conflict resolution, national-scale dialogues, refugee crisis mitigation--or even just what movie to see tonight with the significant other--might this road dust generate connection interference? What greeting custom design considerations might this call for?
-------
57:10 - 58:12 "We thought all of you were gone!"
-------
1:00:34 - 1:01:56 Intersecting monologues, or unconditional listening?
-------
1:02:30 - 1:02:55 Empathy + Being Truly Helpful = responsible environmental behaviour = the end of consumerism. People aren't bad, shopping isn't bad, we're just out of touch with the cycles of things. This is why i don't worry about the astonishingly materialistic young folks i care about, instead, i model empathy and helpfulness. Ok, that's a lie. I worry too.
EDIT: i would be wasting a great opportunity to touch you, dear RUclips surfer with greater-than-average attention for comments, if i didn't share at least one link outside of the timestamp links within this video. So here's a bonus gift as a thank you for reading all my self-congratulatory, non-monetised advertising copy above:
'Grandfather' Stalking Wolf... was he real?
According to one poorly-edited but deeply-researched article, "La Blanca Bronca was the last documented Apache captured in the Sierra Madre. By 1935, the others had been exterminated or absorbed into the Mexican population." - southernarizonaguide.com/lost-apache-tribe-sierra-madre/
The war gene. Hm. One final question... do genes mean anything, without epigenetic factors being taken into account? Hm. Methinks the last deeply-nature-connected girl captured was not the last Apache out there...
Very interesting! Who is the exposer?
