You Are Becoming the Elder of Yourself with Asha Frost
The experiences that are the most difficult to live through can also guide us to great wisdom. In this episode of the Bodyway Intuition Podcast, meet Asha Frost, Anishinaabe Kwe On Anishinabewaki, ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ, Huron-Wendat + Haudenosaunee Land. Asha is an Indigenous healer, author, mentor, and speaker who shares how illness became a gateway to her spiritual journey. As a child, Asha was called a seer by her relatives, and her ancestors visited her through dreams and visions. After being diagnosed with lupus in her late teens, her journey became one of reconnecting with her heritage as an Ojibway woman and the teachings and medicines that surround her. She shares how her intuitive gifts developed, her relationship with animal spirits and ancestors, and how working directly with people helped her recognize and strengthen her intuitive gifts. Asha also speaks candidly about living with chronic pain and what she calls “wintering,” including why healing does not always mean making pain disappear. She explores learning to see wintering as medicine rather than something to rush through, the difficulty of discerning intuition when fear becomes intense, and the wisdom that can emerge from experiences that society often treats as evidence that something is wrong with us. Together, Eboni and Asha consider how difficult experiences can make us more of who we are, what it means to stop trying to get over or push through pain, and how what we have lived can lead us toward becoming, in Asha’s words, “the elder of yourself.”
