Occupy Your Heart

Occupy Your Heart Emotional Clearing, Shamanic Healing and tools for Radical Transformation. Let's get to the root of what's holding you back and clear it there!

Here's what clients are saying:

"I was surprised and pleased by the fluidity and efficiency that Langston brings to all of his work. By fostering a sense of true safety, he was able to help me dig deep into difficult emotions and long held traumas. We quickly worked to transform that energy, which completely shifted my perspective. The experience felt both poetic and surgical and my whole outlook changed such that fundamental difficulties I'd had now seemed strange... like how did that ever bother me so much?"
-Greg Kirkorian

I find [emotional clearing] very useful. Not only does Langston lead you through a session that is useful for what you bring up in that session, but he gives you tools that you can go back to and use time and time again.
-Jason Miller

Working with Langston helps me open a dialogue with my own history. By visiting what was unresolved and often painful, I have felt more confident to struggle in the present. Langston guides me through conversations with my younger self, we identify what made her feel powerless and what would give her strength. The question of what I would do as an adult to help my younger self is an important one. These sessions have been instrumental in facing traumas and discovering the ways they repeat in my life.
-Emmeline Wilks-Dupoise

Working with Langston was a decisive change in my ability to listen and love myself in a really wonderful way. His presence throughout the work gently supported my journey into a new inner landscape that was like a return to my true home. I have done many forms of therapy and mediation and have often found them illusive or distracting. But working with Langston trained me to journey in a way I could trust and let go.
-Mark Tan-Nomadiou

"I was right there with you as I listened to the images you described during the session. I cried as much as I’ve ever cried in my life."
-Arthur Lipp-Bonewits

Clearing with Langston is relaxing into the depth of your wisdom, allowing yourself to feel the fullness and complexity of emotions and memories, sinking deeply into your body and releasing the pressure of having to figure it all out or make sense of it as Langston is expertly tracking and guiding throughout...helping you move through stuck places, helping you feel things even deeper than you thought you could, holding space and accurately reflecting back to you...with every clearing session I felt a deep aha moment and could never have predicted the resolving wisdom that arose from the clearing session.
-Elana Smith

Working with Langston is the emotional equivalent of the show "Hoarders," in which experts come in and empty all the physical baggage hoarders have collected in their homes. Langston does this on an emotional level, sitting patiently with you as you examine the emotional baggage you have been holding onto and helping you let it go happily and without guilt that you were holding onto it, simply understanding and acknowledging it and then releasing it...a peaceful parting between you and the baggage. He is an expert at helping you see it yourself, and not feeding you insights or emotional prompts, he lets you tell him what's going on and then guides you through your own maze. After working with him, I have been able to understand myself in a way where once there was fog and confusion, now I can see clear steps ahead of me and appreciate the way my emotional body works for me rather than feel it's holding me back in some way. His naturally healing presence and energy also offer a powerfully safe space in which you immediately feel you have come to the right place.
-Mara Gilbert

My experience with Langston felt both restorative and transformative. He has a very attentive, calming presence and he created a safe space where I could speak my mind freely. I also found that he equipped me with tools for coping with emotions and experiences in a nonjudgmental, yet engaged manner. After the session, Langston made me feel more grounded and attuned to my body and mind.
-Eric Shahinian

The biggest challenge I faced before working with Langston was not having the necessary resources to truly heal many of my issues and just choosing to focus on the good things and staying OK, but not really enjoying being alive that much. It's become easier to take care of myself and give some priority to my own needs, and to have more fun, be more relaxed about things and enjoy daily life more, and move forward in the integration of shamanic healing that I received a while ago.
-Jose Zamora

THANK YOU! What an amazing story that poured out. Because of who you are, and how you share your gifts, I am able to better see myself and my gifts, and understand what it means to develop them. I'm proud of the trust that went into this work. I've felt so much lighter the past few days, and keep turning back to the story. The continuing unfolding layers of this work are remarkable!

I’m so excited to be collaborating with IDHA and on a class that kicks off their 2024 training series this Sunday 1/14.

I’ve admired IDHA’s work for awhile and meeting and co-creating with Selin on this offering has been wonderful. I can’t wait to share what we’ve developed with you.

The class will be recorded if you can’t attend live.

Facilitated by and , “Uprooting the Lie of Separation: Trauma-Sensitive Survival Strategies” will focus on the role that colonialism has played in creating widespread and chronic disconnection, exploring helpful and non-helpful survival strategies from a trauma-informed nervous system lens. This includes honoring the wisdom of dissociation, which can help people cope with the weight of a world in crisis. Rooted in Indigenous wisdom traditions of the African diaspora and body-based deep liberation practices, faculty will contextualize human disconnection on several levels, unearthing our inherent interconnectedness as a way to open up more choice, possibility, and healing. Participants will learn strategies for uncovering physical and emotional pain in order to gain access to parts of the self that previously were inaccessible, gain new perspectives, and usher in radical transformation.

Visit bit.ly/topographies-class1 or the link in bio to register. The participatory and practice oriented class runs from 12-3 pm EST. 2.75 CE credits are available at the general or supporter rate, ASL + captioning will be provided, and the session will be recorded and shared after for those who are unable to join us live.

Link in bio to register. If you register you will get the recording whether or not you can attend live.

As always, we’re going to have a good time together, share immediately useful teachings grounded in real life animist experience and also share some info about our upcoming course, Energy Body Mastery.

We will explore:
* 5 essential principles that allow us to create and sustain truly regenerative relationships

* The fundamental skills necessary to embody those principles in our every day life

* Stories of epic failures and surprising successes in building community in my own life that taught me what it means to truly co-create with humans and spirit in these times

* A useful tool for remembering to apply animist principles amidst the chaos of every day life

We must remember the skills of being in sustainable, diverse, intimate community if we are to survive as a species.

We can do this together.

You are an essential part of finding the way to a new future.

I hope you’ll join us!
