In our final episode of the Trauma Series, we talk about one of the most ignored abuses - spiritual abuse - and how it can lead to challenges in our lives now. We also discuss how, if our universal right to know is violated, the effects on the entire energetic system can be lasting and painful. However, there are some excellent healing modalities to lead us through any trauma and out the other side, closer to our highest self and where we want to be in life! Warning up front: we'll be talking ab...

As we start to really get into the upper chakras, the trauma becomes very intellectual and more about what we see and how we process it. Third Eye Chakra Trauma can happen any time, but particularly in adolescence. If you ever have trouble trusting your own eyes or doubt yourself, this may be a place of injury for you. We'll finish, of course, with some ideas for healing and how to gain a better understanding of ourselves. Warning up front: we'll be talking about some things that can be hard to ...

Trouble expressing yourself? Afraid to speak up? Or maybe you find yourself talking, wishing you could stop but you feel compelled to just keep going.

Today we talk about the lies that can cause injury in the fifth energy center, how you might see it affecting your life now, and how to begin the healing process. This is a major area of trouble, especially for women, so listen with an open heart and mind, letting energy flow thr...

It's another quick break in the series to answer some of the most pressing questions from you! Where do I start - does it have to be at the root? If I don't have trauma but I still feel unbalanced, what can I do? And the big one: How do I know when my chakras are balanced? Thank you for your questions and for your engagement in this series! We'll be back next week with the Throat Chakra, but this week, enjoy getting some answers. Warning up front: we'll be talking about some things that can be h...

It's the middle of the energetic chain and the middle of the series on trauma: the heart chakra. It's a unique energy center because it can easily reflect trauma that happens in other chakras, as well as show it's own injuries. We'll talk about where that trauma can come from, how you might notice it in your life, and what we can do to take steps toward healing. Caring for yourself during these episodes is key, so take a moment for quality self-care, please! Warning up front: we'll be talking ab...

If you've ever found yourself making a decision that you *knew* wasn't good for you but you just felt like you couldn't stop, you may have experienced Solar Plexus Chakra Trauma. Today we talk about how damage and injury to this energy center can show up in our lives now as poor decisions, the inability to say no, and the feeling that whatever you do, it's never enough. If that resonates, this episode will be helpful in exploring the roots of those thoughts and feelings, and how to start reframi...

Warning up front: we'll be talking about some things that can be hard to talk about in this series. If at any point you think you need to turn it off, please do. Take care of your emotional and mental health FIRST. Last week's episode really struck a chord with a lot of listeners - I got quite a few questions that I felt needed answers before we moved on. So I offer you the first ever double chakra episode! If you haven't listened to episode 63, you might go back and start there. This episode gi...

Warning up front: we'll be talking about some things that can be hard to talk about in this series. If at any point you think you need to turn it off, please do. Take care of your emotional and mental health FIRST. Events in our lives, both acute and chronic, can have an impact on our energy centers. We store memories and unprocessed emotions that can affect our behavior and current situation, even if it's unrecognized on a conscious level. Today we'll be talking about Root Chakra Trauma, threat...

Thoughts become things. And no where is that more true for manifesting than in the Third Eye Chakra. Can you see your future, really see it with clarity? Yes, there is worldly work to be done in creation, but the Third Eye imagination acts like a map, showing us the destination so we can plan the best route. This week we talk about how to picture what CAN BE, not just what IS or WAS. Follow me on Instagram and Facebook , and join the Patreon for the full Chakra Manifesting Course and other perks...

What we say to the universe matters, so we better be intentional about what we communicate! This week we talk about the throat chakra - the energy center some say is the most important one when it comes to manifesting. No matter what you're trying to create in your world, it won't show up unless you speak to yourself (and others, perhaps!) honestly and directly. Don't let your heart's truth get stuck in your throat chakra! Follow me on Instagram and Facebook , and join the Patreon for the full C...

We're finally out of the the lower chakras and into the heart - where we experience joy, love, and gratitude for what we're manifesting. Even if it isn't here yet. Today we talk a little about the energy of manifesting, touch on the science behind it, learn how it works. We'll explore how the heart chakra can help us balance the fears of the lower chakras with higher vibration feelings. I'll give you a couple of different ways to practice this in your own life and in your creating! The podcast I...

It's a quick break in the series to have a conversation with my friend and coach, Donna Thomas. Donna is an expert manifester and during this interview, she shares with us how she learned to see obstacles as strategies, not road blocks. We talk about her process for reframing tragedy and setback into success. Her motto is "I'll figure it out!" She's a fascinating example of how the creation process works and how it really can bring you to where you want to be. Find Donna at www.joyfulrebelcoachi...

Let's keep creating! When you're ready for something new in your life, it's important to bring it toward you with purpose and focus and good emotional health. That's what today's episode is all about. We need to stop fearing our emotions, stop giving them control over us, and learn to nurture the kinds of feelings that will give rise to the kinds of experiences we want to have. Remember that like attracts like in the world of energy, so if you're operation from a place of scarcity or fear, that'...

An interview with the beautiful soul, Terri Cooper Space! We discuss the 3 biggest myths around chakra balancing and you can prepare to be empowered and inspired. Terri is a chakra *obsessed* guide who takes us through some of the "wrong thinking" we can fall into around chakra work. But like she says in the episode, you don't know what you don't know, so no judgement in our learning process.

Self-Unity may or may not be a real word, but it's the topic of today's deep dive. Do you ever feel like you're of two minds? That your heart wants one thing and your head wants another? That's dis-unity (another word I may have made up), and it's a sign of imbalance in your sixth energy center. This episode discusses how and why we might feel this way and why it's really important that we start to merge the two sides of ourselves to feel whole and at peace. If you're interested in the Chakra In...

On the heels of the self-acceptance episode comes the next step in our journey: positive self-talk. All communication stems from the Throat Chakra, but what if the things we tell ourselves aren't true and aren't helpful? What if our inner voice is actually the Shadow Side of the Throat Chakra (see episode 31 for more!)? This episode explores where self-talk comes from, how and why it matters what we communicate to ourselves and the world, and how to begin replacing self-sabotaging lies with life...

Time to let go of the things, people, and attitudes you don't need any more and take back your personal power through solar plexus chakra work.

It's a big one this week: emotional boundaries. Where are yours? Where are other people's? Why do they matter? What are emotional boundaries even?

We finish the episode with a meditation/affirmation practice that can help you build and sustain your emotional boundaries. Meditation Music: https://titaniumelephant.bandcamp.com...
