Inner Guidance Daily

A gentle loving-kindness reflection on the past year + the year ahead. In this meditation, we reflect on the following three questions.

1. "What feelings arise when I think about the past year?"

2. "What in the past year am I deeply grateful for?"

3. What wisdom have I gained about myself this year?"

Our reflection ends by cultivating loving-kindness towards ourselves. Planting seeds we can nurture in the year ahead. Stay connecting below.

"This is a time on our planet when we will have to learn to take care of each other."- Mary Magdalene Collective ( channeled message)

This episode is a real and soulful conversation to help you navigate our world right now. You will learn what it means to channel messages from non-local beings ( ie. spirit guides, angels Pleiadians, etc.). 

Adalina East shares with us her journey into spiritual healing work and why the alchemy of spiritual healing + neuroscience is so important to her. We talk about finding your life purpose, understanding the earth as a "life school", and healing as a foundation for growth. 

Adalina also shares a channeled message for me and my daughter, which left me grinning ear to ear. Her laugh is infectious, her heart is SO BIG, and this conversation will leave you with expert insight into how to show up in our world right now. 

Adalina rediscovered her abilities as a clairaudient, clairvoyant, and claircognizant, realizing that she could channel Spirit Guides such as Archangel Gabriel, Archangel Michael, the Mary Magdalene collective as well as star collectives such as the Pleiadians, the Sirians and more. These multi-dimensional beings brought forth clear instructions on how to heal herself, as well as the development of Transformational Healing™ and its ability to lead others to heal themselves too.
