Cross-Pollinating Medicine with Jimi Wollumbin
Set in the shadow of Mt Wollumbin (Mt Warning) in the Northern Rivers of NSW at Jimi’s healing sanctuary, this interview was a lot of fun and went deep into the philosophy of healing. Jimi loves the healing path, and after years of studying and walking various ancient lineages (spliced with modern insights) has maintained what I can only describe as an impressive professional sovereignty that sees him going deep into the paths of learning the art of healing while not losing his identity within them (something that is rampant in the healing world), giving him the ability to stay malleable, insightful and cross-pollinating that many traditions as he continues to ask the deep questions that revolve around the mystery of healing.

Very quickly we’re talking about the relevance of “old world” healing techniques such as leeching, which opens us up to the conversation around medicine without boundaries; the different schools and transitions have a piece of the medicinal puzzle, but not all of it, and we must look beyond their individual boundaries. This approach requires moving around, looking at how health and healing look from the many perspectives that exist in the world so we can expand the approach on healing the human body, and we go RIGHT into the philosophy of this approach. The biggest insight we dive into though is how curiosity and love of learning, like a child, allows for this broader approach to healing to be possible.
Beyond all the above, in this interview you will learn:
- How to develop an ongoing capacity to come back into balance again and again
- How to overcome the minds desire to “arrive” at a destination in your health.
- These essence of Taoism, including the art of action less action
- The concept of age-ency, and how to not identify with age through your actions
- Jing, qi and shen philosophy
- How to take the “fascination” away from healing philosophy to make it accessible to the western mind
- The best qi tonics for cultivating qi
- The magic of royal jelly and what it can do for your body and jing
- Jimi’s relationship with the modern medical model
- Why we sometimes feel any and hurt by modern medicine
- The religion of science
- What it means to be a medical minority

Meanwhile, we discuss and laugh about the seriousness of the health scene and how to navigate it.
Tyler's Gnosis-Praxis distinctions for integrating health principles is brilliant and applicable for everyone to ensure a fluid inclusion of the those habits that will generate the greatest health possible. The discussion flows into an exploration of how to go beyond the marketing of health and seek out those nuggets of wisdom and truth that in fact are relevant to your personal health journey; this has particular implications for those looking to deal with degenerative diseases such as cancer who should be armed to move beyond the hyping of "curing" on the internet and distinguish the elements that foster healing in the long term, including the emotional origins of disease.
How to notice the confines of a “healthy lifestyle” and break them is talked about with many a belly laugh, bringing on conversation and jokes about beers, burgers, tobacco and a good ol' Facebook post.
You will thoroughly enjoy this one, I especially recommend taking on Tyler's insights into the essence of water!

We dive pretty deep into how to develop a relationship with these herbs, as well sharing insights into what makes them so special, where they came from and the possibilities that they open within our capacity for physical health and immunological freedom.
I think you'll particularly appreciate the simple yet deep way in which the information and insights are delivered, they go beyond just being another source telling you to include something in your diet because it's healthy, but offer the opportunity for you to get very clear and empowered around this conversation of tonic herbalism in a modern context.

Deep Body Perception and Movement with Benny Ferguson
To kick of The Mason Taylor Show I interview Benny Ferguson, a movement coach and evolutionary who for 11 years has delved DEEP into the realms of movement, mind-body unity and true physical potential. It is an absolutely fascinating and clarifying look at what the true essence of our movement practice is and how it can be embodied to build greater freedom, happiness, strength and unity within our physical (and beyond) body.

It is an absolutely fascinating and clarifying look at what the true essence of our movement practice is and how it can be embodied to build greater freedom, happiness, strength and unity within our physical (and beyond) body.
We end up coming back to the conversation of how we can bypass the noise and stress of the exercise and fitness industry and return to simply being in direct perception of our body, and how to move from that space. Lots of tips and insights are shared that you can take right away to embody what Benny is sharing and begin to truly release the tension that causes so much pain and stagnation in the body.
Pay spacial attention to the distinctions on how true relaxation and softness allow you to integrate the mind and FEEL yourself deeply within your connective tissue; the fascia. We especially nerd out about this topic and I feel it is a game-changing and beautiful emerging approach to moving our bodies that will see you kick-started into discovering that freedom and potential that has been within your body ALL along.
