Today, we speak with Lorah Gerald (aka The Adopted Chameleon). It was a delight to have a light worker with such a profound grasp of a plethora of healing modalities. Lorah is a trauma-informed Kundalini Yoga instructor, Intuitive, Tarot & Tea reader, and Reiki healer. You can find her on Instagram @theadopteechamelean sharing her gifts as a healer through movement and mindful practices.
We talk about:
- The adoption summit she attended called “Untangling Our Roots”
- Lorah’s Medium energy worker
- Her Kundalini Yoga practice
- The healing powers of wearing colors to brighten your mood
- The Baby Scoop era that she was born into and the complexities of same race adoption. The difference between acute trauma, chronic trauma and complex trauma
- How she became “The Adoptee Chameleon”
- We end with how you can change your energy through breath work, where she leads us through practice.
