Tanmeet Sethi Takes Us On Journey of Justice, Healing, and Joy
In today’s episode, we speak with Tanmeet Sethi, a board-certified Integrative Family Medicine physician and Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
She shares her experiences in the US Healthcare system as a healer and medical practitioner. Tanmeet shares her perspective on balancing Eastern & Western philosophies, and why that balance is essential for her as a healer.
We also speak about bringing justice and equity to marginalized communities by provoking and encouraging a cultural shift towards self-care as a form of collective healing.
Listen in as we speak about:
Benefits of mindfulness
Alternative healing methods
Gratitude & Hope
Our culture’s view on self-care and wellness
Benefits of Mindfulness
Our culture pushes us to work, work, work, and maximize productivity. Sometimes, a side effect can be that we are less attentive to our own needs and the needs of those around us. Too often, we wait until health problems manifest to develop new self-care practices and then respond in a reactive way. Instead, Tanmeet encourages us to develop Mindfulness, Wellness & Self-care routines as a preventative measure. To live well-rounded, healthy lives, and avoid reacting to manifested health problems.
Alternative Healing Methods
We discuss provoking collective healing in communities by encouraging each other’s self-care journeys. The joy of communal healing is a radical act of justice and equity for marginalized communities.
We also touch upon the growing prevalence in the use of psychedelics as a tool for healing, self-growth, as well as personal and collective transformation. And how with tools like these, and others, we can tap into the ancient wisdom of healers from previous generations.
Gratitude & Hope
Always an important reminder. By developing a personal gratitude practice, meaning a personal reminder to acknowledge and appreciate the things that you’re grateful for, you can provide yourself with consistently nourishing and revitalizing personal growth.
With practices like these, individuals who experience low self-worth or isolation can find consistent hope, and a reminder for why they are important and loved. Having compassion for yourself is the first step towards having compassion for others and regularly expressing gratitude.
