On today's episode, my friend Ian Roth shares with us how integrating lessons from our past lives can help us heal in this one! He also shares how he got into performing past life regressions (or reviews, as he prefers to call them), why learning from our past experiences is so important, and how to find someone who can go through this process with you safely. If you want to find out more about Ian or get in touch with him, here's his contact information: [email protected] Past Live...

Today we hear from Amanda Kate, a practitioner of Energetic Kinesiology! Don't worry if you've never heard of it - I hadn't either! - but it turns out to be a healing tool that teaches us to change our subconscious patterning, leading to healed realtionships with our Self, our families, and possibly the world. She talks about how we can use this and other spiritual practices throughout our day to grow, heal, and THRIVE. Interested in the updated and refreshed 7 Day Chakra Manifesting Challenge? ...

It's the fourth and final "A" of healing from Dr. Gabor Mate's The Myth of Normal, and it's acceptance. Acceptance is a heart chakra aspect and can refer to accepting all kinds of things - the Self, the Moment, the Past, and more. It isn't about tolerating what we accept, though. It's about having a realtionship with the truth that allows us to be open to change and growth, if we want it. Interested in the updated and refreshed 7 Day Chakra Manifesting Challenge?

Can anger be used for healing? In Dr. Mate's book, The Myth of Normal, he says it not only can, but must be. We'll talk this week about how anger shows up in our lives (or doesn't, if you suppress it) and why it might be your process of dealing with anger that causes trauma, not the anger itself. Of course, we'll talk about healthy ways to experience and process anger that will lead us toward more balanced sacral chakras and energy systems overall. And I touch on long-term anger that can fuel ac...

The healing continues this week as we explore Agency, the second of the "As" Dr Gabor Mate offers in his book, The Myth of Normal. Agency is directly related to the Solar Plexus Chakra basic right of being able to act on your own behalf for your highest good. We'll learn how the skill of responding allows us to be sure we're showing up in the world in a way that aligns with our energy and values, as well as how we can have agency even when we don't have control of our circumstances. We'll also r...

One of the most common questions I get is "how do I start?" We want to start healing, start a spiritual journey, start manifesting, start something. And knowing where to begin can be confusing and overwhelming. Today I want to offer a first step in the healing process, adapted from Dr. Gabor Mate's work in his book, The Myth of Normal (if you haven't read it, I can't recommend it highly enough). Of course, I filter these ideas through the lens of the chakra system, and his first "A" of four line...

If you've ever been interested in manifesting, you've probably heard that positive thinking is the only way to go, and if you don't get what you want, it's your fault. Today we'll talk about how that's not even close to the truth. Negative thinking is normal and natural and unavoidable - so we just need to learn to use it to our advantage! When you understand WHY negative thoughts are showing up, you can start to use them to enhance your creation process. "Positive thinking" every minute of ever...

I'm back with part two of Nicole Kerr's Near Death Experience! If you haven't listened to part one, it might be a good idea so that this episode will make sense and you'll get to know Nicole some. We talk about five of the main lessons she brought back to us from the other side (Spoiler: You Are Deathless!) and her mission to help change the conversation around death. We touch on some sensitive topics including religious trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and a very brief mention of eating disor...

Today I'm talking with award-winning author, Nicole Kerr, who shares her story of dying in a car accident (and then twice more in the hospital!) and what she learned from her experience on the other side. Her book, You Are Deathless, is the accounting of how she spent 20 years trying to recover her memory of the event, then how she integrated it into her life and made it her mission to share the truth that our souls never truly die. You'll hear about her Guardian Angels and the some of the ten l...

As 2022 wraps up and 2023 begins, a lot of people spend time reflecting and thinking about where they'd like to go in the new year. Today we're talking about setting intentions through our energy centers, a different way to understand ourselves and what we really want out of life, rather than constantly setting the same goals and seeing them fizzle out after a few weeks. Let's develop a deeper understanding of what is going to bring us closer to our true, authentic self. Interested in the update...

How do you feel today? And how do you feel about feeling that way? It's an Inception-style question that seems like it could go on forever - a phenomenon known as "meta-emotions." In the Chakra world, it's when we take our emotions out of our bodies, out of our Sacral Chakras, and let our heads and Third Eye Chakras get involved. Sometimes that's okay - even good! - because we get to act as a witness to our thoughts and emotions, giving us a little space and preventing overwhelm. However, other ...

It's holiday time...again. And whether you love or hate the holidays, they tend to cause a lot of stress for a lot of reasons. Today's episode is a replay of part of a 2020 talk I did on manifesting a holiday experience, starting at the Crown Chakra and going down to the Root Chakra. It's not to create a perfect evening or event, rather to help you create space in yourself for ALL your feelings, accepting the reality of life, and then energetically shifting that reality towards something that wi...

This week is part two of my interview with Jen Moore, and empath and author who helps other empaths understand themselves and how to deal with the world. Last week we talked about what exactly an empath is, the unique challenges of existing in the world while feeling others emotions as your own, and why we can all benefit from moving towards empathy whether we identify as an empath or not, and today we’re talking about boundaries. This is another word, like empath, that gets used a lot, but we d...

Empath - the word gets thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean? Do empaths even exist? This week, I'm talking to Jen Moore, author of Empathic Mastery about what an Empath is and the difference between being an empath and having empathy. We'll discuss the history of the word and the experience, why it's coming to the forefront of our consciousness at this particular time in the world, and whether you might be an empath yourself. This is a two-part interview, so stay tuned for next we...

This week I want to introduce you to Lion Goodman - subconscious pattern detective, belief therapist, and healer of the psyche. His work centers around clearing our limiting beliefs so that we can create the life we want to live. We'll talk about what a limiting belief is, where they come from, how to identify them, and what to do about it when you find one. We also talk about the kinds of limiting beliefs that can live in each chakra. Lion hosts free monthly events to help us clear beliefs arou...

It's time to talk about the final stress response of the series - the Fawn Response. In the fawn response, we’re trying to diffuse a dangerous situation, but not in a way that is helpful to us. It's one of the least studied responses, but one that I think a lot of us use and will recognize. When we fawn, we're trying to placate our aggressor at the expense of our own mental and emotional health. It can look like being overly agreeable, people pleasing, or even abandoning our authentic Self - thi...

It's time to talk about the Freeze Response - the Throat Chakra's reaction to stress. Freeze isn’t complicated. We’re faced with a threat and we freeze. Physically we take no action. We don’t say anything. It’s as if our bodies have shut down, that any message from the brain that we’re in danger and might do something about it never gets translated to the body. We start to take up less energetic space, maybe even physical space, our heart rates slow, and we start to feel detached, like we’re not...

Today we're talking about the Flight response to stress! This is a very common response and can show itself as avoiding, distracting, and procrastinating. We'll learn about how this response might be useful when confronted with a physical danger, but how the emotional and mental dangers that we most often encounter in our modern lives can't be run from. This stress response is based in fear and lives in the Root Chakra. When we're unbalanced here or chronically stressed, the blocks that we exper...

Today we’re talking about the sympathetic nervous system stress response. You might have heard this called fight or flight, to which we'll add freeze and fawn in the upcoming weeks. We'll talk about all of these stress responses - why they happen, why they’re great (and not so great), as well as which chakras might be imbalanced by them if we’re in a constant state of stress arousal. And I’ll give you some techniques to help soothe the stress response and rebalance the chakra. First up is our Fi...

I'm finally answering my most asked question - how can I do chakra work with my child? As someone who is absolutely not an expert on parenting or child development, I hesitated to answer this until I realized that the parent/child relationship is just that - a relationship. And all relationships benefit from us doing our energetic work. I'll go over some broad ideas for how to introduce energy work to your children, as well as touch on a few specific chakras and how they're impacting by our past...

This week I'm chatting with Ananta Ripa Ajmera after reading her amazing book, The Way of the Goddess. In it, she takes us through each chakra and a goddess that represents the aspects of the energy center. She shares the mythology of various goddesses, and how the lessons apply to our modern lives, healing, and spiritual growth. Each chapter has chakra healing practices to help you connect with the goddess and to tap into the divine feminie power that already exists in you. Along the way, Anant...

How many of us are holding on to old stories, old thoughts, old feelings that are holding us back in the present moment? My guess is almost all of us! In the Full and Waning Moon episodes, I mentioned using rituals to let go of those things and in today's episode I elaborate on what those might be. We'll talk about how you can use elements, color, writing, nature, and a variety of other things to create your own ritual for letting go. I'll give you some examples of rituals I do that you can use ...

This week wraps up the Lunar Cycle and Your Chakras series with the Waning Moon. This is the time when the moon starts to grow dark in the sky and we have the opportunity to reflect on the work we've done and begin to draw inward towards rest. This autumnal season is a time of change and growth, of detail and reconnecting. The chakras associated with this phase of the moon are the Root, Solar Plexus, and Crown chakras so we'll discuss why, as well as some ways to use the moon's natural energy to...

Today we're talking about everyone's favorite part of the lunar cycle - the Full Moon! As we touch on this magical time, you'll learn about how you can use the Sacral, Heart, and Throat chakras for relationship building, manifesting, and letting go of some pain and finding more self-compassion. We'll also talk about how the yang, or masculine, energy exists within the overall yin, or feminine, energy of the Moon overall. Just because there are times when one type of energy is more present doesn'...

Today we’re discussing the second basic phase of the lunar cycle, the waxing moon. This process of the moon appearing to get fuller in the sky takes place on days about 4-12 of the cycle. It's seasonal association is Spring, a time of new life, growth, and creation. The associated chakras here are the root, sacral, and solar plexus, the lower chakras responsible for drawing the upper energy of the New Moon down into the physical plane and manifesting your ideas. We'll also continue the discussio...

We begin a new series this week on how to use the Lunar Cycle to benefit your chakra work. We'll go over the four basic phases of the Moon, what they represent energetically and seasonally, as well as which chakras are associated with each and why. I'll also offer some practices to help align our chakras with the natural energies of the world. We start with the New Moon, a dark, quiet, healing energy associated with the sacral, third eye, and crown chakras. Learn why rest is so important during ...

Today we're talking about the practice of "setting an intention" before yoga class - why we do it, what it is, and how we can use it to bridge the divide between what we do on the mat and off. We'll also discuss how and why we might set an intention in our chakra balancing and healing practices, since we know that yoga isn't just physical postures - it's a lifestyle that we live, not just something that we do. This powerful tool can be life changing, and open you up to growth and expansion, even...

Pranayama translates to breath control, and it truly is a superpower that you can carry with you everywhere to reduce stress, calm your nervous system, and clear your chakra energy system. The research showing the physical benefits of proper breathing is unquestioned and the ancient sages created a variety of techniques for us to use to access all of them, as well as the mental, emotional, and spiritua...
