Five Minutes of Encouragement

Five Minutes of Encouragement

I’m dropping in this week to hold you in deep encouragement, steeped in love and unwavering support. We are in strange times, that’s nothing new, and there’s a feeling that more change is coming, new transitions are starting to take shape on the horizon. And we are moving toward them. New ways of relating to self, other energies, daily life, work and purpose are all opening up. New love wrapped in new potential is coming through. It feels like the unknown, and we may be navigating something that feels wholly muddled right now. We need to feel encouraged, and I’m here this week to fill this need. We deserve to be wrapped in a comforting blanket of reminders that this isn’t all there is. That it’s ok to change forms, and change forms again. It’s ok to let go, be free, embrace a life that feels so different from what has been. Let my voice be your guide. Let my love light your way. Listen for these five minutes. And then, if you need to, listen again. I’m here, and I love you, deeply. I cherish your sacred journey. Medicinal blessings, Kristi

What is Mercury Retrograde?

What is Mercury Retrograde?

Ahh, Mercury Retrograde, that often mentioned astrological phenomenon. This occurrence gets tossed around a lot, often with the joking question of "Is Mercury in retrograde?" attached to it. But what does it really mean? I am answering this question from a symbolic and energetic focus, offering language around what the significance is when a sky body appears to move backwards. Hint, all bodies in motion affect other bodies, including our earth mother body, and our own human bodies. Mercury as a symbol represents the mind, communication, and intellectual processes. We use these processes to create relational energy and experiences. When mercury is retrograde, we are given the time to retreat, review, reimagine, and remember what we have been creating, with a deeper intensity. When used with intention, it is a fruitful time to close loops, and revisit past happenings to let them go once and for all. With the sacred numerology of 3 as a support during a retrograde, we are in a position to retreat and allow the life/death/rebirth cycle to come full circle. This is a very potent process, and it often asks us to be committed to our own rest and retread in order to allow it to fully land and integrate something that is asking for our embodiment. Where in our lives do we feel this call? And how are feeling this lately? What themes in our lives are recurring, coming up again, or having another go? Let the retrograde motion be your teacher and your guide to greater purpose, freedom and liberation from past experience, old choices, and outdated programming. Blessed to have you here. So much love to you. Retrograde blessings, Kristi

A Moment with Your Grief, with Kathryn C. Robinson

A Moment with Your Grief, with Kathryn C. Robinson

This week, I am joined by my friend and very wise woman, Kathryn C. Robinson. Kathryn is a beautiful, mellifluous being, who (you will hear!) expresses her unique essence and earthbound medicine through use of her voice. She is a movement and body-based practitioner who focuses her expressions on helping others unearth and release trauma often experienced (or expressed) by grief in its many forms. She uses various therapies, such as yoga, kirtan, and meditation, and her musical background and talent employs her into a wider range of modalities, including sound and vocal expression to help regulate and discharge emotional material from an individual essence. During our conversation, she takes us on a bodily journey; one that brings us to moments of hallelujah in the body. Though we can experience great pain, she urges us to understand that anytime we access and move emotion from within, it is deep cause for praise and celebration, as the result is a piece of the Self being returned, renewed and restored. From our own grief stories, to the empowered agency we can create from the physiological awareness generated by body based practices, you will find yourself having more than just a moment with your own grief. Our time together in conversation is one of reckoning, recognition, and true release, leading to wider understanding of our own expression and power. 

In our conversation, we discuss: 

  • yoga as a practice of self-inquiry 
  • resistance and blocks to meditation and what may actually be behind them 
  • latent, compounded and unprocessed grief 
  • how our culture discourages evolution by encouraging bypassing 
  • invitations to the internal 
  • deep intimate self-relationship 
  • moving energy in order to truly move into relaxation 
  • using romantic relationships to perpetuate first family dynamics (first family feedback/trauma loops) 
  • using a body-based practice to move through flight/fight/freeze nervous system patterns 
  • storing experiences on a cellular level 
  • liberating and freeing the voice 
  • expressing the ineffable through sound 
  • what it can mean to live cleanly 
  • power in the act of witnessing 

If you are ready to explore these themes and more in a loving conversation, please join us. We love to have you hear.

When the Energy is Heavy

When the Energy is Heavy

Welcome back to the show for my solo jam on how some very heavy energy is moving through (the already dense material of) bodies lately. There is a palpable set of challenging energies in the collective atmosphere, and they are coalescing and manifesting through each of us as individual bodies and unique essences, taking shape in different (and most likely relational avenues) in our lives. What a challenging time it has been for many of us. Some of us may have been feeling this ramped up challenging energy already back in Leo season, and many of us (myself included) are now experiencing the very strong disruption of these manifesting energies in the form of very real earthbound challenges. In this episode, I am taking us through a conversation that helps us name our challenges, and invite the awareness we need to stay on the middle path of balance and self honoring as we feel the disruptive nature of life on Earth at this moment. It is a great, alchemical, evolutionary time, and if you are wondering how you're actually feeling because it seems almost indescribable, I will encourage you to allow the deep biological and physiological processes to unfold as they are. It may feel like an emotional apocalypse somedays. The key to our survival, and ultimate liberation, is to be with it. Take your time. Honor your body's responses and be curious about them. Notice where your breath is shallow, notice where it has space to be deep. Connect to the patterns of your nervous system. We can do all of these things by taking space from all that the external world is trying to force us to hold, and being with the world within that is asking for restructure. It may feel like structures inside are truly crumbling. Hold yourself with grace as this happens. None of our experiences are binary, so we can hold ourselves open to what is beyond what we know. There is always more than just what we see presently, and when we tap deeper into presence, we can take a greater agency in our choices, even in the heaviest of experiences. The outcomes, at this moment, are fully internal. What are we in service to when we make our choices? And where are still too entangled to feel like we even have a choice? We will explore all this and more through a spiritual and embodied lens in our conversation this week. Blessed to have you join me. Sending so much deep love and support, Kristi

Change is a’ Comin’, Look for the Signs

Change is a’ Comin’, Look for the Signs

Recorded on the second full blue Moon in Aquarius of Leo season 2021, this episode is here to help you move and process this momentous amount of energy that many of us are feeling right. We are at a critical point, a pinnacle, in our lives. We are like writers with pen posed, ready to create that first line of the next chapter. This is the line that draws us in and sets the tone for the story. The one that gets us excited and passionate about what comes next. We have been working towards this moment for quite awhile. And now, the energies we are coalescing are ready to bring a culmination of changes in the earthbound realm. Look around. What do you see happening in your life? What have you been asking for? Can you see parallels between the two? Are you asking for signs and guidance? And are you spacious and open to receive them? Remember that the universe often speaks in a whisper, a subtlety, a small genauere. And if we tune in, and pay attention to the unity between heart and mind (instead of spinning out on the mental plane alone) and get back into our bodies (somatic experience), we will be able to see in the environment around us, and our internal, intuitive eye will be open as well. This is the power we need to move forward into a more liberated, peaceful state of being. In this moment, something is landing. And we have the power to bring it in and build upon it beautifully. Amen. Deep love and blessings for this experience. Thank you for being here. Love, Kristi

How is Your Heart? Where is Your Mind?

How is Your Heart? Where is Your Mind?

There is a lot of energy coalescing right now. Here, on the continent of North America, fires are raging, consuming land and structure, billowing smoke for miles. Covid cases are increasing, sickness is spreading. Human life is being disrupted and displaced. There is grief. The energy is fraught. On a personal level, relationships are breaking down, partnerships are ending. Concepts of home, family, love and stability are changing. We are reaching critical moments in our collective and individual experience. Things have been set into motion, are culminating, the wheel of life is turning. Our hearts and minds are being barraged with a momentous amount of information, sensation, feeling, and newness. Our minds may be grappling to navigate, to get us to the next answer. To help us hold on to something. Our hearts may feel disconnected, overwhelmed, broken, or displaced. In this episode, instead of offering anything more for you to take in, I’m inviting you to join me in a space of meditation so that you may feel into, take in, and process what is already there for you. I’m offering a journey that will take you deep into the heart’s space of your embodied being, of your Holy Spirit self, of the symbols of this powerful entity. We will work with the breath, the heart, spine, and mind in an embodied way, as well as a poetic, symbolic way to help us see our experience as our inner worlds wish us to. These set of moments are for you. Come as you are. Stay for a sound bath from my singing bowls. Be blessed by the information, or the sense of peace, or whatever it is that comes through for you in this time. I am offering journaling questions at the end as a way to further this practice and bring you into a conversation with your innermost and honest self. If you need the time and sacred space to sit and breathe, experience, witness and feel, this one is for you. Love you all. ~Kristi

Avoidance, Bypassing, Ghost Culture

Avoidance, Bypassing, Ghost Culture

Welcome back to the show! After a few weeks hiatus, we are here on the New Moon in Leo, 2021, to share thoughts on a few patterns that dance around in our lives together: avoidance, which I define as not making the choice to orient towards something we know we need to; bypassing, which is what happens when we repeatedly move away from situations that ask us to learn from them; and ghost culture, which is what we get (presently) collectively from the pervasive individual patterns of avoidance and bypassing. We’ve all done it—actively ignored or shut out a person or situation we didn’t want to confront. We’ve ghosted and been ghosted. But what are we really doing when we make those choices? In this episode, I am revealing the ways in which we leak our power when we make the choices to avoid, bypass and ghost. We disempower ourselves, and we disempower others. And many of us are doing this without even realizing just how much energy is being leaked from our own reservoir when these habits rule our decisions. Here and now, we are presented with some new awareness of our own agency, and the power to choose ways of closing cycles, connections, and circumstances that leave us fuller, more aware of our own compassion, and more deeply steeped in our own medicinal nature. Bring your open heart and your open mind, and let’s jam together. Love, Kristi Show Notes: the book I mention is called Existential Kink, by Carolyn Elliot, PhD.

Conscious Grief Heals

Conscious Grief Heals

This week on the show, I am taking us into the lessons of grief: what it means to grieve, what we are actually doing and creating when we grieve, and how we are reckoning and retrieving pieces of ourselves and our power through the cycles of grief. Grief is a practice that takes us further through the doorway of our own medicine. The essence of it as a practice brings us to the understanding that we must grieve, and grieve fully in order to move through soul loss--that sensation of stickiness in despair and hopelessness that can grow if we don't move through it--and into the deeper work of reckoning, reclamation, retrieval and remembering. It can be a long journey, seemingly endless as we may find ourselves cycling through older energies that were not grieved fully at the time of their happening. Sometimes, we can carry grief for just a moment, which helps us redirect our presence and intention to a higher frequency of clarity. Often, when we are choosing to meet our grief consciously, we are blessed beyond our personal experience. Our grief has the power to write a new future for our children and creations because we are healing ancestral karma patterns that have swallowed grief and emotion and kept them held within the cells, as well as intergenerational pattern inheritance that showed us how to stifle our pain and instead let it blow wonkily out the side in some form of anger, addiction, abuse, or obsession or distortion of another kind. This lesson today about the awareness that grief brings us to, and the medicine that we find within our grief. The human experience can be a steeping process that sets us further into the medicinal essences we are here to embody and bring forth. Grief is a doorway into the medicine. And our sacred responsibility as we move towards our medicine is to walk through the doorway, and all doorways beyond the initial one. Because our healing requires it. Our legacy requires it. Our future selves require it. A'ho

Seeing through Eyes of the Divine

Seeing through Eyes of the Divine

This week on the show, we are recognizing the true essence of the nature of all things: divinity. That soul residing in an earthbound body that looks out into the world from our human eyes. Are we using our eyes to truly see the divine nature of all beings? Maybe. Only if we are willing to meet and greet our discomfort and say, "I don't know how I am going to move through this, and I am going to do it anyway." To give middle world illustration and anecdote of this, I am offering three very personal narratives of times when I saw the divine in beings that I would've not looked at previously. Yes, it is much easier to recognize divine qualities in people we love and appreciate and see already. Our sacred responsibility as embodied, empowered beings, though, is to love all. To See you soon, truly deeply see through the eyes of the divine and recognize and honor the godself of another. Can we see the god or goddess that we are? Have a returned to that true essence of our medicinal nature? If so, then we must turn our eyes to the beings around us, and acknowledge what is beyond the earthbound circumstance of another embodied soul. We must see past the outer vehicle, and look into the eyes of the divine. If we truly wish to lead a spiritual life, full of our own medicinal essences, and resonating with the higher frequencies of love and healing and embodied truth, we must go beyond. To look where we previously have looked away. To meet what we have thought to be unmeetable, or unworthy to be met. We have to go where we think we will never find spirit. And we must see the full divinity there. In ALL beings. In ALL life. And overlook nothing. We are all teachers for each other, we are all students on a sacred journey. We are all part of the same soul university. And we must recognize this now. More than ever the time is now. See through the eyes of the divine. And watch your life, your relationships, your medicine, transform in transcendental ways. A'ho

The Underworld, Myth and Beauty: Individuation

The Underworld, Myth and Beauty: Individuation

Continuing on our journey from last week, we are diving further into Ancient Greek myth to understand our own process of individuation and actualization. Referencing the story of Demeter, Persephone and Hades, I retell the myth and uncover its symbology to land the wisdom of the individuation process that actualizes our unique essences for you. Individuation takes place when we, out of rebellion or in answer to our soul's calling, deliberately and intentionally move away from the bonds of our first family and the history we have previously been rooted in in order to create the life we desire. This comes with a choice to move towards initiation (represented by the flower) and will move us towards confronting our demons (Hades) as they rise up into our consciousness. It is then that we move into the Underworld to undertake the process of individuation at a deep psyche level, and when we emerge, we are more of ourselves, standing taller as individuals with unique essences and medicine to offer. I offer the many polarities that we can access from the symbols that, when integrated, bring us into a wholeness that is required to recognize our divinity. If you are on a journey of realization what it is your want for yourself and your life, and are seeking ways to move away from essences that are keeping you from that path, this episode will help you understand the process of individuation in a larger, macro way, as well as the smaller micro lens situations that help push us out of the parameters of our first families and past histories and into the individuated seat of the soul. Be blessed in this journey and know that you are not alone. Love and blessings, Kristi

The Underworld, Myth and Beauty: The Fires of Hel

The Underworld, Myth and Beauty: The Fires of Hel

This week on the show, we are referencing ancient myth and goddess culture to recognize and understand the Beauty of our Underworld journeys and  experiences on the path of our soul's evolution I am taking us through the energy of the ancient birthing/destroyer goddess, Hel, who brings us through the fires of our initiation, and into the cavernous seclusion of our shadowy unconscious. We begin our descent with a crossover of the River Styx, the entangled, toxic emotions (water) that we need to face in order to reclaim our shadow. We get on a boat for the crossing, a symbol of the divine direction of the soul, and we pay the ferryman (the goddess as our guide) with something precious to us in order to make the crossing (our comfort / what we know / sacrifice of old ways of being). On our journey through the underworld, we recognize the beauty of transformation being offered to us as we confront the fiery essence of purification. What was is no longer, and we are using our time in the underworld for retrieval, reckoning and remembrance of our own divinity, and of the Medicine we carry and embody. If you are looking to understand the ways that the underworld can work in your life consciously, this episode will bring you on a journey of clarity and recognition. Ultimately, our time in the underworld sets us free, liberates the shadow to transmute into I AM qualities, and brings us further into standing deep and tall in our Original Medicine. Blessed Be. Much love to you all, Kristi

Lighting Your Sacred Fire

Lighting Your Sacred Fire

Our Sacred Fire, how do we light it? One way to begin is to follow the trail to knowing what intimidates us, or what we admire in others that we think we do not have within ourselves. Often, these are the qualities that we feel are out of reach for us, and yet, if we pivot towards discomfort and go beyond the veil, we can retrieve these qualities and integrate them into our wholeness. On the other side of discomfort is a deeper knowing of our Medicine, is an actualization of our our sacred fire. Our ability to become the sun, the solar force, of our own lives and legacies is actualized through the awareness of what excites and arouses our passionate nature. What do we love to do, and can we allow ourselves to dream into the feeling of what it would be like to have more of it? And then, can we surrender the vision to the feeling and take the necessary action to keep stoking that inner fire until it becomes sustainably ablaze? Yes, we can. And it starts with making different choices. Lighting that fire does not come from choosing sameness. It comes from consciously choosing the thing that we don't usually choose to do. Making time for our art, our music, our creations, our voice, whatever that may look like, that is a tangible way to begin. We cannot have a life lit by passion and fueled by our highest essence if we do not make the time for that sacred passionate and fiery feeling to come in and live within the realm of our embodied awareness. In this episode, I am encouraging you and affirming you on the trail back to your own sacred internal fire. How to light it will be your choice, and I hope to provide a guided pathway of beginning and remembering the soul-ar truth that is you and your original medicine, your sacred flame. Blessings for the journey of discovery and may much love and joy be found along the way. Amen. ~Kristi

Pot is Plant Medicine

Pot is Plant Medicine

What is plant medicine? Plant Medicine goes beyond the realm of what we may think it is; it includes more than an Ayahuasca ceremony, it goes beyond the "spiritual" retreats we take ourselves on to experience these plant allies. Plant medicine is present for us daily. In fact, some of us are entangled in unconscious codependent habits with plants, and in these ways of relationship, have forgotten their medicinal and sacred essences, and instead sacrificing them to consumerism, recreation, and extraction. 

In this space, I am taking us into a conversation that opens our awareness around what it means to be in Right Relationship with plant allies and their original medicine. During our time, I will cover: 

  • what it means to respect plants as allies in healing 
  • habit use versus ritual or ceremony usage
  • honoring the web of all life and our sacred connection within it 
  • the practice of asking permission and the role it plays in creating synergy with plant allies and other spirit beings
  • plant medicine tradition versus numb out "recreational" culture 
  • how our lack of intention furthers extraction when it comes to plant allies and earth's sacred resources 

I hope you feel intrigued and encouraged to go deeper into your connection with the plant allies in your life, take on the curiosity to learn of plants and their medicinal essences, and are willing to make a conscious attempt to choose the path of the earth keeper through honoring intention when working with plant allies. Thank you deeply for joining and sharing this space with me. I am blessed to share with you. Love, Kristi

Divine Feminine Rising, with Malyssa Harelson

Divine Feminine Rising, with Malyssa Harelson

The divine Feminine is rising and creating, expanding us into a new realm of what is possible for our lives in this reality. I am joined by Malyssa Harelson, kundalini guide, artist, and divine feminine priestess, who free riffs with me on the experiences we have had recently that point to the shift in energy that brings us further into embodying the divine feminine paradigm. We are noticing the changes in the ways we create, the energy that we allow ourselves to create from, and how we approach the sacredness of creating. We get into what it means to create sustainably, rather than out of scarcity or pressure narratives. We talk about ancient feminine practices that are becoming more and more a part of the channeled reality that many of us continue to work towards establishing in our lives, families and communities. Malyssa goes deep into the need to tend ourselves, as space holders and facilitators, to help us replenish and nourish ourselves. The focus on community and connection in this episode is palpable, and we dance and weave together in a way that honors deep love and connection. Overall, we reflect on the question of what it is that we intend to do as we make our way back into the world as embodiments of a new dream. What is the feminine rising in your life? And how does that look and feel? What does it mean to have fun while also honoring your unique essence and your soul's medicine? Join us to spark a deeper conversation on these topics, and be invited to share your own thoughts and musings with me or with other sacred space holders in your life. Be blessed as you join us for the journey of the exchange. A'ho

Creating Art from the Feminine, with Param Akasha Kaur

Creating Art from the Feminine, with Param Akasha Kaur

This week's episode is a sacred co-creation with a beautiful embodied essence that I value and cherish deeply. Her name is Param Akasha Kaur, wisdom holder of the Rose lineage, Divine Feminine priestess, artist and photographer, and guide for kundalini experiences. She joins me to talk openly about the vulnerability of capturing a soul's essence through visual art, and what it has meant to her to open herself fully to the experience of being both in front of the lens as the subject, as well as the artist behind the lens. We get into the wounded feminine that carries through a first family lineage, and what it means to move through those challenges in a soul-led, truthful and honoring way. She brings us into her creative process, and what it means to be in a feminine vibration when creating for a masculine dominant society. Together, we honor the change we wish to see in the world, and how to invite the feminine voice and inner artist forward in order to create a higher order, and work with a healing set of processes that feel like deep truth. She walks us through the virtues of kundalini yoga and opens our minds to the experience that kundalini can create through our own embodied awareness and intention. She guides us gently, strongly, and with so much love as she walks us through her wisdom journey. We hear of a soul-led legacy that honors the divine mind-heart and leaves us with a gentle imprint of what it means to be Spirit in matter. A'ho Join us next week for a second conversation about the Divine Feminine Rising.

What is the New Dream?

What is the New Dream?

What is the new dream resting on the foundations of your true desires? This last bit of time has been a deep process of new experiences. It is where the end of one paradigm of self meets the new and gracefully gives way. It is home to both the witness and the dreamer. It is the time of the season in our lives where we can lay the foundations for the experiences that resonate with our deepest innermost desires for the lives we which to have, and the embodied essence we wish to resonate as we experience this life. The most beautiful part of knowing we are ready for a new dream is the affirmation we receive from ourselves as we meet old experiences with new medicine. In this way, the old becomes new, and we move through the tests that seek to help us know that we are ready to bring it’ll what we truly want and desire. So, what is coming through right now? Though it might feel familiar, we are within the energy of moving through old stories and situations--what I am calling test energy--in new ways that come from our efforts to heal and grow and evolve. This is the foundation for the new dream. If you find yourself thinking "what if this is as good as it gets? Can it really get any better?" I am here to tell you that it can, and it will. When we take the time to root into our attentively and intentionally laid foundations for the dream we which to live into in this reality, we begin to attract and build upon those foundational imprints. And the foundations sink us deeper into our own medicinal. We are the sacred temples being built internally before we then build these externally in the world. I offer a meditation that can be used as a visualization and channeling of the soul voice, and can also be used further as a set of journaling prompts to get you into the essence of your new dream. It is a sacred space, and it has much to be revealed, slowly, over time. Be blessed in this process. And be blessed in who you are throughout. Much love, Kristi

Working with Spirit of Place

Working with Spirit of Place

On a solo jam this week, I am taking us deep into our connection with the Earth, and the palpable shifts many of us are feeling through the Earth energy we are gifted with and experiencing this season. Working with Spirit of Place is a deeply shamanic concept, and it is one that can apply to all beings. It is certainly honored by other life of the natural world.  For humans, working with Spirit of Place roots into the lifestyle and sacred commitment of the Earthkeeper. An Earthkeeper is an embodied Spirit (human) who takes and renews the sacred commitment daily to hold a vision and take action towards a life of purity that harmonizes and honors the Earth as a sovereign, abundant, blessed being and giver of All Life. When we connect with the Spirit of Place that we find ourselves living within, we honor our own Earth essences and relationship to the Great Mother in a deeper, more guided and connected way. I am using my own sabbatical to the desert of the southwest to speak of connection and catalyzation that can come from working with the sacredness of Spirit of Place. So many of us are sitting on the edge of big, glorious change. A ledge that is asking us "What is the dream? And can you feel it for yourself?" This episode is hopefully here to help you move with these questions and get the downloads and guidance you need in order to fulfill yourself as a sacred medicinal essence who is here to bring something beautiful to manifest. There is deep in the bones stuff resonating and taking place right now. Let this fill you up with affirmation and touch you into your body and your own roots for a sacred fulfilled life. How we are living counts now more than ever. What we are orienting ourselves towards and committing to stretch into is arriving for us to fill up with. Let the old drain away. Let the new take root, and let us consciously begin to lay the foundations for honoring the rest of our lives. Be guided to connect with Spirit of Place for your own Earth medicine to be actualized. Our sacred sojourn through the Earth plane is now. May we honor it as Earthkeepers who carry the blessing of Spirit of Place.  A'ho. Thank you for being here with me. With love and many Blessings, Kristi

Honoring Your Sacred Space (Boundaries as Medicine)

Honoring Your Sacred Space (Boundaries as Medicine)

I am excited to bring you this week's episode because I have wanted to create a discussion for so long, but it just wasn't the right time. And now it is! So this week, we are getting into honoring your sacred space. This is often called boundary work, and I am offering the practice of boundaries as medicine. Instead of using this common term, I am seeking to frame this practice as a way to honor your sacred space as well as yourself as sacred. This is a process of unlayering and retrieving the values with which we desire to align ourselves, and it can start with the question "what do I hold as deeply valuable, nourishing, sustaining, sustainable, and medicinal?" From there, we go on a deeper journey into the spirit of who we are and what we want to stand in as a being of truth. When we learn to assert the honoring of our sacred space, we are saying "this is how I reveal my sacredness to the world, and this is how I wish to be honored as I reveal myself." In short, this practice is a medicinal and healing way to teach others the ways we wish to be treated. This is a really wisdom-wealthy episode, so I would encourage you to join me here and listen with fresh ears, and see these ideas with fresh eyes, and an open heart, while also paying attention to the body response. I hope you will come away with some impactful aha moments, and some new knowledge to take into your practice of honoring yourself, others, and your sacred space within and externally. So glad you are here. Love, Kristi

When the Soul Lands, with Katie Buemann

When the Soul Lands, with Katie Buemann

With this episode, I have had a dream come true! My guest this month is a woman I have admired, tuned into, and have received guidance from through her voice. Her name is Katie B., she is the host of the Real Rebel Podcast, and she is joining me for this week's sacred wisdom jam. This episode is a beautiful snapshot of the human experience, covering all things from growing up as an outsider, being ridiculed for being "different", and the subsequent difficulties of individuation later in life. We cover feeling unheard (even when there is a huge audience listening!) and the low self-worth that can slip in some poisonous narratives when it comes to using our voice. Katie tells us her story. From having a deeply broken heart in Bali, to capturing her voice in new ways in order to create the podcast she always dreamed of doing, her stories of survival, overcoming and becoming are ones that resonate deeply. She is a beacon of light, a ray of sunshine, a true human, allowing her soul to land in her body where it can run the show. And we hear and witness all of that on this episode of the show. To end, we do a card pull and reading for each other, and what comes through resonates! The experience was genuine, and I was blessed to be joined by her, and I would encourage you to spend the next hour or so joining us, as well. You will be so glad you did. And maybe, just maybe, between all the words, resonance,  stories, and authenticity of two humans coming together to weave wisdom and experiences, you will feel your soul land. May it be so. A'ho. Love, Kristi

Q+A with Kristi, Three Recurring Questions

Q+A with Kristi, Three Recurring Questions

This week, I am bringing in some recurring questions that have come up in my work with students, in conversation with friends, and have just been on replay in my own awareness. How can we talk about spirituality in a mainstream way? How do I know when it's fear or when it's intuition speaking? How can I know if a boundary is being used for manipulation and when its actually asserted out of self-honoring? We are going deep to retrieve the answers to all three of these this week. I am using stories and examples from my own life to help land the wisdom I am offering on these, because they are not easy to answer! And yet, they are so important for our evolutionary understanding. They all have one very strong theme when it comes to answering them. Want to know what that is? Then I will see you here with me in this sacred jam. So blessed to have you. Love, Kristi

How We Nourish + Create with Light + Shadow (the Mother Archetype)

How We Nourish + Create with Light + Shadow (the Mother Archetype)

This episode is about the ways we embody the deeply divine feminine aspects of nourishment and creation. Have you ever wondered why you love to create beautiful things and share them with others? Or maybe why it lights you up so much to craft a beautiful meal and share it with people you love? Why is it so rewarding to bring people together and nourish them in an uplifting environment? These are all energies of the mother archetype that naturally can express through us, no matter how we identify in gender. The mother archetype is part of the creative force that we use to bring forth our most passionate and light filled creations into the world. These can be our work and our art, physical children, or ways we nourish others and use ourselves as a life giving force to serve others. Manifesting in its shadow aspect, the qualities of the mother archetype can lead us to burnout. They can lead us to over giving, blending our experience to create total enmeshment with others, and forgetting the sacred boundaries that honor our medicinal essence. Whether we are working with this energy consciously or subconsciously (or both!), we are still in the act of creator creating, and what and how we are creating is for us to examine and get clear on. Harnessing the brightest qualities of the mother archetype allows us to flourish, and encourages all life around us to flourish in kind. Join me this week for a solo jam to learn about the creative and nourishing essence of the mother archetypal energy, and let it be revealed to you where you walking in light with this energy, and where you might turn your attention to the realm of shadow to free this energy from entanglements that do not serve. So much love and blessings to you. Thank you for being here. ~Kristi

To Be Reborn Anew

To Be Reborn Anew

What is rebirth, actually? What does it mean to be a fully grown human and be reborn? How does that look and feel on different parts of the human journey? If these are questions you like to ponder, or are curious about them, you are (hopefully) going to feel some downloads come through during this episode! If you are feeling a more subtle set of energies in your own body, and in your heart, and within external exchanges and are wondering what this means, you will be very affirmed when you tune into this episode. If you are someone who has identified with big, overt and extremely palpable energies and are now experiencing or looking to experience more subtlety, you will be at home here. This week, I am offering guidance on how to tune into the subtler energies of being born anew. So often, we think that our rebirth has to conclude a series of huge changes, massive transformation, and intensive transmutation. And often, this is the case. This week, though, we are going into the power of what subtle energy brings to the rebirth process. In fact, subtle energy rebirths us anytime we take the intention to tap into it by just allowing ourselves to be. No pressure, no to-do list running in the back of our minds, no story that we have to do more. Just ourselves and our essence, vibrating fully in the present. The ability to hear our souls, meet our divinity, and resonate our highest medicinal frequencies come from the ability to tune in to the subtle messages that connect us to our great and beautiful power and to love. I am offering this week's jam with the intention to guide you into a subtler version of yourself and your life, and to encourage you to give yourself permission to just BE. And tune in. And feel that heartbeat that is yours as it syncs up with the greater heartbeat of all life. I hope its a beautiful experience to be here, both overtly and subtly.
Love and blessings, Kristi

Medicine for Struggle and Surrender

Medicine for Struggle and Surrender

Welcome to the show! I am on a solo jam today, talking about what it can mean to experience struggle and surrender, and where we can find the medicine in both. I am doing things a little differently today: I am taking a three parted intention to first discuss a challenge, then tell stories about how this challenge can look and feel using personal narrative, and then I am offering medicine to help move through the challenge. Today, I am presenting the challenge of the struggle--those times when we feel so myopically focused on something that we get a sort of tunnel vision that blocks the rest of life. I use the word "obsessed" to mean that energy that completely sucks all of our cognitive, emotional, physical and spiritual energy into one desire. We have been so trained to hustle hard and focus on our dreams that we forget to take the pedal off of the metaphorical vehicle we are driving so intensely towards whatever it is that we want. I give several examples of times in my life where I repeat the pattern of myopically focusing and struggling to get the desired outcome. The medicine, I offer, is that we must learn to step away for a moment. Learn to play and find joy in other things in life. Bring a freshness and a more wide angle lens to life again. And many of us may be finding ourselves in this position right now, I know I certainly feel this very much calling me right now. Maybe it is time to stop hustling and starting trusting. To walk away to go play and let the desire and dream have its alone time. When we are ready, that surrender energy will sweep us right into the flow of our desired result, and we will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly, beautifully and readily it takes its form. A'ho. Blessings to you as you move through struggle and into surrender. Much love, Kristi

This week on the show, we are getting a little silly and bringing a bit of humor to the conversation! This is much needed for me, as sometimes it almost feels like I have forgotten how to have fun! So my deep hope is that you will be able to laugh along with me and our guest for this week, Dr. Daniel Domoloczny. Daniel is an acupuncturist, a Chinese Medicine practitioner, a breathwork and meditation coach, and a teacher of Shamanism. In our talk, Daniel takes us on his personal journey of the discovery of the practices that have led to his own awakening and transformation. He shares the wisdom he has learned by continuing to show up as a teacher and student, and what the long-term outcomes of devotion and acceptance can be. And, he brings it all together by noting the intersections of life as the transitional gateways to who we become.

The Volcanoes of Life

The Volcanoes of Life

Hello and welcome! This week, I am riffing on the archetypal energy of the Destroyer and how this energy mirrors the creative and destructive power of the Earth and all life on Earth. The destroyer archetype comes up when life becomes severe in some or many ways. I am using the analogies of three different natural disasters (Earth's destructive forces), and tying them to the ways that we, as humans, also use the forces of destruction in our lives. I talk about how space is created from endings, how best to prepare for filling that space after an ending, I offer ways to work with the shadow and the subconscious to reduce the amount of times we hit emotional overload that leads to a deep under-the-surface rupture. I also get into how to harness the power of destruction in a conscious way so that we can break apart containers, agreements, and patterning that are no longer of service to our growth or life path. I am also introducing some ways that the destroyer can be housed in the shadowy places of our subconscious to sabotage life-force and opportunity that is healthy for us. Join me for an empowering jam on integrating endings, transitions, changes, and transformations. I hope it is vivid, helpful, and resonating for your journey with change energy. A'ho!

You Are a Wide and Spacious Canyon

You Are a Wide and Spacious Canyon

Welcome to a solo jam where I am using metaphorical imagery to bring us into awareness of our spacious spirit nature! Imagine yourself on the rim of a canyon looking down. What do you feel? What do you see? In this episode, I am guiding you through the canyon of your life and essence to introduce you into the descent into the underworld of self. We are journeying into the canyon as a metaphor for the wide and spacious beings we are, stopping to reckon with and re-member parts of ourselves along the way. At the bottom, we reach the river of our life force, and we are confronted with what that river looks like--is it flowing freely and clearly? Are there boulders blocking its path? Is there poison in the water? How do we wish to allow our life force to flow into the future? And once we have established a relationship with our unique essence of life-force, or our soul intentions and plans, are we ready to be tested on it and our embodiment of what we say we are and can do as we make our ascent back up the canyon? The universe will always send us tests to make sure we are ready for what we say we want, and that is the journey we take when we have made changes and integrations and are ready to call forth something new. I am so happy and honored to be your guide on this riff, and I deeply appreciate you making this journey with me. I hope it is helpful, resonating and deeply nourishing. A'ho

Dark Nights + Planetary Lights, with Astrologer Carrie Gane

Dark Nights + Planetary Lights, with Astrologer Carrie Gane

Welcome to the second half of my beautiful conversation with astrologer Carrie Gane! In this episode, we are diving into her origin story and the path that led her to where she is now. She takes us through her personal account of struggle, and eventually finding the light of right relationship on her path. We weave many different motifs and bits of the human experience within our dialogue as we navigate the shared human experience of the dark night of the soul. There is plenty of room for discussion on topics like patriarchy, the collective transition and restructure we are riding through right now, and the ways we can show up to make the most of our time here on Earth. Carrie does a beautiful job of weaving her astrological wisdom throughout our exchange, and she lets us know that we are supported, now and always, by other bodies, other containers of energy, that come into our field to dance with ours.

Your Power Is Your Promised Land

Your Power Is Your Promised Land

This week on the show, I am talking about the seat of our power as a truest essence and the medicine we carry in to be created in this lifetime. We are inherently powerful beings. And, we have to reckon with who we think we are, and who we truly are in order to know and stand in our true and full power. Our reckoning is the gateway that takes us through the shadowlands of what has been giving us what I call the "roiling belly" feeling, which is the threat of being divided from our power. When we feel like other entities or beings are trying to take our power from us, this feeling becomes activated as a bodily (somatic) response. The reckoning comes when we being to ask discerning questions like: Where have we been leaking our power or outsourcing it to other places or beings? Under what falsities and narratives is our power buried within us? The truth about our true nature is that we cannot be divided from our power. It is ours to reckon with, retrieve, reclaim, re-member and restore on our journey of wholeness within the human experience. When we see ourselves as holy and sacred, and we intend to see that in every moment we are alive, we are honoring ourselves, our medicine, and our power in the highest way. We are delivered to the truth, and then to the reality that our essence of being, our medicine, our unique qualities are our power and that is our Promised Land. It is our queendom or kingdom. And as we move towards the promised land that we carry within, we can begin to see ourselves in others who are also going through the process of reckoning and reclamation. We no longer feel threatened by the experience of others once we have moved through our own reckoning and retrieval process. We recognize our experiences in those of others, and we do not need to feel threatened by them, because we know now that our roots lie deep within the soil of the promised land--our personal power and fullest expression. Join me for this sacred jam on journeying through the dances of reckoning and retrieval and deep into the beauty of the promised land of our personal power. A'ho

Your Mission is Blessed by Spirit

Your Mission is Blessed by Spirit

This week's episode is a two parted riff on belonging to your mission because it is blessed by Spirit, and what to do when external forces try to divide you from your mission and its blessing. We start off by getting back into our bodies and allowing the words "your mission is blessed by Spirit" to wash over us. What does your body want you to know? How does your heart respond? We are all looking for the mission that lights us up and feels like YES. This comes through different ways of accessing and reintegrating with all parts of us. And we will receive signs and affirmations from the universe, both large and small, to let us know that we are on the right path. And this is important for when the times come when the external world tries to shame us out of and divide us from our mission. I give three examples of when this happens that provoke big waves in a storm that threatens to unmoor us from our spirit blessed mission. These are so common to the human experience, and each of us faces these, no matter what our path looks like. After each example, I give encouragement and ways to get out of the storm of shame and challenging emotion to step into deeper rooted strength, stronger discernment, and greater courage. Because the reality is that when we start stepping out with our mission, and we put it out for more of the world to see, we will get critics. We will get people who, though they are also spiritual beings, have forgotten who they truly are and will use tools of separation to try to divide us from our spirit blessed mission instead. And to navigate these experiences, our commitment has to be that we will continue to walk our evolutionary path that keeps us working on refining our boundaries and our discernment, and will show us the way to stand tall in who and what we are in this world. And to not lose the roots of our spirit-selves and the blessings we carry from Spirit for our mission in this lifetime. A'ho

The Celtic Light Festival of Imbolic

The Celtic Light Festival of Imbolic

In this episode, I am sharing wisdom about the Celtic Light Festival of Imbolic, the first festival in the wheel of the year. This festival honors the middle of the season--the transitional time between winter and spring when the days are beginning to get longer and we are seeing the first rays of longer light. This is the festival that honors the goddess Brigid. She is a triple goddess that assist with the gifts of Smithing, Healing and Poetry. She also is the holder of a sacred flame. The flame is representation of two things, both of which are also integral for this Light Festival, and they are the home hearth and the flame of creativity. The Celts made no distinction between the two because one was inextricable in its representation of the other. When the home hearth is not tending, it goes out. Darkness ensues. Coldness dominates. So it is with our flame of creativity; if we do not tend it, we also become cold, lost in the dark, and feeling without the warmth of purpose and imagination. We want to reconnect, rekindle, and re stoke up those fires that are so important for sustaining a healthy life force. I also include some suggestions on how to celebrate this sacred three day festival by reconnecting with our fire element within ourselves, in the energy and in the body. Many blessings to you as you honor this Celtic festival of light! Awen.

True Belonging + Validation on a Shamanic Path

True Belonging + Validation on a Shamanic Path

This week is a solo jam on a sticky topic for a lot of us; one that feels very collective as well as deeply personal. Belonging. Validation. What are these things? What do they look like when they are in their light qualities? What does it mean to truly belong? These are the deep questions that I am riffing on through the lens of my own experience as I walk a shamanic path for my life. I'm discussing this within two different realities: one is the very real experience of being socially isolated due to our technological culture (everyone constantly looking at their phones) coupled with the required isolation brought by the pandemic. Then, there are the deeply entrenched emotional beliefs about belonging, which also create our realities. And I have recently uncovered a very pervasive, poisonous set of beliefs that I carry about my own ability to belong. I walk through my reckoning with belonging and how I am traveling towards the road of liberation in belonging to myself. I also include validation and how it is a required biological need for humans to be validated by other humans. It is also required of us to be able to validate ourselves in order to stay out of enmeshment and identity loss through codependency (and the ways we lose identity by outsourcing our validation power and abilities to meet our own needs for validation). learning to belong to ourselves fully and be fully able to validate our own experience is a retrieval process that requires us to continue to walk into the wilderness and move towards our hearts + spirits. It can feel isolating, it can feel like losing touch with what once was, it can affirm our worst fears about loneliness. Especially when we start ramping up on our spiritual quest for our original medicine and wisdom: it is an untethered and untraveled path. This removal of poisonous beliefs about myself and my belonging is the next quest on my journey that I am currently moving through. What I know for sure right now is this: I belong. You belong. Wherever we are, on whatever journey we take, we belong. A'ho

Re-Membering Our Sovereignty, with Rebecca Anne

Re-Membering Our Sovereignty, with Rebecca Anne

In this beautiful episode, I am joined by Rebecca Anne, researcher and re-memberer of the Divine Feminine, for a deep dive exploration of re-claiming and re-membering our sovereignty. Rebecca is a researcher and academic, and she is a deeply spiritual, wise and sacred woman. Her work is centered on the transitional period between childhood and adulthood--that sticky phase we name adolescence. Our exchange takes us on a dance with religious constructs (particularly those rooted in particular denominations of Christianity), the challenges of the distorted masculine, and brings us into a space of reckoning, retrieval, and re-membering. She takes us into her own experience of growing up within a first family that held religious views as a way of life and how the young, formative and especially adolescent mind integrates with the strong beliefs of the first family to form perceptions, and often distortions, of the world around. Throughout our conversation, we recognize that our concept of the masculine comes in from many hierarchical structures, and the truth is that we must discover the masculine within ourselves, learn to dance with it in divine union with the feminine, and co-create a deep remembrance of our sovereignty as whole and complete embodied beings of the two. A'ho.

Out of My Own Light, with Louise Bichan

Out of My Own Light, with Louise Bichan

This week, we welcome Louise Bichan, a wonderful Scottish fiddle player and photographer from the Orkney Islands, to the show. In this episode, Louise takes us along on her journey, from growing up in Orkney with the music and culture of her true home echoing in her bones and flowing through her blood, to her time in Glasgow and expanding out into the music scene there, to an adventure across Canada on a project to uncover the stories of her matrilineal line that led to the birth of her album "Out of My Own Light. She takes us on a lyrical discovery of who she is, and ultimately, who we all are: Creators creating out of our own light. And her light is certainly one to be experienced. She radiates the essences of true joy, awe, wonder, welcome and expansion, and the ability to trust her journey and let it unfold exactly as she desires it too. The motif and manifestation of true community is strong for her, and it is so inspiring to hear how she has welcomed that and called it into her life, no matter where she found herself along the way. This episode is medicine, reminding us that we are called from our spirits to be joyful, to be open, to be welcoming, to have experiences that please us and feed our curiosity and creativity. She draws us into the stuff we are made of by being that sacred mirror for us, and by lending her voice and her energy to help us re-member what it means to be in a state of pure openess and joyful receptivity. There is a lot of magic here, and she weaves the human experience together so beautifully, that one can feel such a creative surge at the end. And that is where we want to be, friends. Re-birthing, co-creating, experiencing out of our own light. On the sacred day of the Winter Solstice where light is being reborn, coming into our joy and our creative desire to unfold the life we so desire, we too, can rebirth into light. Awen. Many blessings of love and remembrance of your own light. You are the gift. Love, Kristi

The Shaman's Death

The Shaman's Death is more than a topic for this week's show, it has been the reality I and many others have been living over the last 13 lunar cycles of the year 2020. The shaman's death is an initiatory process, a rite of passage, that brings us from one form of existence and shapes us into a completely new one. In our process of dismemberment, we become the shapeshifter, and in this episode, I am taking you through what it means to die the shaman's death. The Shaman's Death is the experience in life when one moves through a loss or a change so profound, that they wonder if they will ever be able to come back from it. Here, in the dismemberment of life, or an annihilation as it may feel, is the death passage to becoming more of who we truly are. I have written about change before, as change is thoroughly a part of our human existence, whether one decides to honor a shamanic way of living or not. When the crash down, removal, dismemberment, dismantling comes, the cracking open to the voice that chants and the drum that sings is what merges the shaman's death into rebirth with the total psychic, physical, emotional and energetic breakdown that comes with this total change of life as we knew it. Transcending the wounds we carry creates the doorway to the New Life that we so deeply want and desire. That our soul is ready to create. Even when we don't know exactly what we want, or think we do know, we probably don't. Not when the voices of the past are carrying on our conversations and exchanges for us. It was surprising (and not!) to me how much of my life had been created by a voice that was not my own. I had mistakenly believed it was. Until now, it had been a combination of ego, inheritance, and somewhere in there, the voice of Soul. What I have inherited, though, is not a curse. My ancestral line and lineage is a great blessing to me because it has showed me the areas of life where I experience limitation, where we in my bloodline have experienced it for generations, connecting all of us as we move through our epoch of time on Earth, and it has shown me how I can heal it. Love and honoring, and surrender to death. That is the way. That is the way of the Shaman.The light heals, and one can Know the Light through a great and mighty death process. Surrender to death, and death with surrender you to rebirth back into the light. A'ho. I am including a riff that was recorded from my car a year ago about my experience during a shamanic breathwork workshop because it also was an important and transformational piece of dying the shamanic death. Thank you for being here and walking this path with me. I honor you in all your death and life processes, with so much love. Amen.

Permission to Rest

Permission to Rest

Welcome to all of you who are tuning in to the show this week. I am so joyful and glad to have you. This has been quite the year, much has happened, much has been moved through. There is change around every corner and beneath every layer, and I have uncovered SO much of what I didn't even know I was looking for. As we move through this season, I am reclaiming time and space for my vision as it opens up and offers more clarity as I move into a new direction on my path. That means that this show may take a hiatus for a few weeks, or however long it takes for me to understand how this will look and feel for me going forward. I am giving myself permission to take space, rest, redesign, and allow for the new to come through fully. And I would highly encourage you to give yourself permission to do whatever feels like it is calling for you. I am here to jam on a bit about what I am experiencing right now, contextualized with how I offer myself to this platform and to the world at large. I am taking you through my thoughts that are guided by my heart and body as I share them. And I will take us through a meditation to help us connect with some very powerful places in our body (the basin/pelvis, the sacral area at the base of the spine, the shoulders, and the head) that are often held tight with layers of emotions and experiences that keep them squeezed up and without extra room for any spaciousness. The intention of this meditation is to feel into these places and acknowledge them for what they are and all they do, and to offer them the ability to release what they are holding and carrying so that it may be processed by our consciousness and released from our Beings for good. While the show takes a pause (if it does!), please go through and find other episodes that may resonate for you. There is a lot here! And there are lots of other ways to connect with me and my work in the meantime, so be welcome and encouraged to do that as well. Thank you for being here. I am so very deeply grateful. With love and blessings, Kristi

Weaving Beauty + Re-Birth into Being, with Kylie McBeath

Weaving Beauty + Re-Birth into Being, with Kylie McBeath

On this week's episode, I am hosting Kylie McBeath, a vibrant, abundant and deeply wise and intelligent woman. Kylie is unapologetic about her purpose and the truth that she embodies to fulfill it. Our time together takes us deep into the origins of our human existence, beginning with our first families and the patterns, beliefs, and teachings that we receive from it to navigate our world. We get into the richness of what happens when we move from survival strategies and enmeshment to initiation into individuation. This includes the healing journey of sourcing anything from the external (think perfectionism, being "the good girl", constantly high achieving, wanting to be "cool" and "chill"). We recognize that much of the fears that we may operate under are inherited, and we are invited, at the latest during a big painful ending (or rupture, as she aptly describes them) to examine and investigate how we got here, and how we wish to create our lives so that we do not need to revisit this place again. Big painful endings are, in fact, initiations, and they have the power to break us open to our truth. Through a process of moving into deep trust from within, we can find our way into liberated love, both for self, and for others. Ruminate with us in all the joy that comes from sharing and exchanging. There is SO much.

The Wild Path

The Wild Path

This week on the pod, we are covering the poem that I wrote about the commitment and devotion to the Wild Path. The Wild Path is the one chosen by your unique voice, your soul self, who is ready to take the lead to guide you through and on, beyond all limitations and fears, and bring you Home to the truth of your life in this incarnation. This episode is going to be wisdom with a touch of literary analysis to pull forward the archetypal wisdom and patterns that I have woven into the writing piece. After we dive into what is there for us, we will move into the segment where I will offer you affirmation, and sparks for meditation and and journaling on the seeds we are planting when it comes to love, service, compassion, devotion and commitment to these. This episode is intended to help set up you for this next season of the journey, where we deepen our agreements with our Self to be present and allowing the experiences of awe, wonder, love, joy and gratitude to fill our earthly time. During the holiday season, it is easy to get swept up into other energies, and in this episode, I am intending to assist you in maintaining your own space, continuing to open to your own unique voice, and aligning with the vibration of your souls Destiny and Dharma. May it be blessed. Aho.

Shadow Work in the Season of Shadows, with Rev. Katherine Bell, PhD, DD

Shadow Work in the Season of Shadows, with Rev. Katherine Bell, PhD, DD

This episode is all about shadow work and soul work during the season of both the shadows and the soul, Scorpio. This is a deep, deep episode, and one with the great undulating motif of shadow work, the jungian concept that Katherine breaks down for us clearly and with much compassion. We are talking all about Scorpio season and the literal and physical darkness we will enter into with its energy. With it, comes Samhain and the veil being lifted for humanity to step through and begin the cultivation of light into the shadows. By moving from the outer realm and deep into the inner realm, we come to Know the Truth about our Selves and our lives. Scorpio offers the invitation into the deep entanglements of relationship, especially the parts we tend to cover up or handle covertly. So what do we do with all of this darkness and all of these shadows? We may find ourselves asking how we can possibly turn towards something that looks like total darkness. We must gather our courage, and then Surrender. The Law of Transformation will take over from there (Scorpio). With it, the energy of Pluto (Scorpio's ruler) comes the Law of Soul Evolution. Together, they unleash, and unite us with, the power within to free our Selves from the tight, constricting grip of the lower ego and all the things we cannot control. And Instead, harness our True Power of Self to Become the change agent we are meant to Be in this lifetime. From there, we ‘see’ and feel and experience the power, wisdom and True voice of the Soul, and the gifts of these are truly endless--limitless. We are made for More, more than just one thing. Our true purpose is multi-layered, multifaceted, just like we are. The axis of this Scorpio energy is Taurus, the voice of the soul, and the Law of Life Mastery, which helps us to master the wisdom to hear that voice and summon the power to draw forth soul consciousness. This axis occurs at the Full Moon, where the moon will also lend us Her intuitive wisdom. Within this seasons energy is the potential to unite with Spirit, individuated in the Highest Self, and allow it to flow through the personality; to take that connection to Self and bring it to every moment, both mundane and divine, boring and beautiful. And find that unity, that absolute connection to Self and to all Others. Awen

When the Veil is Lifted

When the Veil is Lifted

The archetype of the veil is one that we use when we talk about making the transition from what is to what will be. We, like a bride, stand ready to remove the covering that keeps us from our future destiny; one that may include big endings, losses, changes and that ask us to move through them as grace agents. On the other side of the veil is also connection to our sacred dreams and desires and re-union with All that we are and will Become. Scorpio energy lends itself heavily to the investigation and journey beyond the veil. What we find there is our brightest light and our most Highest Selves, as well as our deepest depths and shadows of wounding and trauma. Both are necessary to be united in our bodies as we move forward on our journey of Re-membering our Selves Home. Included in the lifting of the veil is the life/death(Death)/rebirth process that always comes when we remove illusion from our lives. To every ending is tied a new beginning, and both take courage and intention to move toward and through. I invite you this sacred jam as I sit with the New Moon energy and prepare to lift my own veil on my life and my sou's purpose. I am so glad and grateful that you are here with me. So much love and Blessings from me, your host, Kristi Derkacy. Awen.

Courage, Bravery + Resilience

Courage, Bravery + Resilience

Welcome to this week's solo jam on Courage, Bravery and Resilience, friends! We are getting deep with these qualities, which the foundations of the embodied Warrior archetype. To help get us into this riff, I am telling (reading) a story that I wrote about my journey with these qualities, and how they came up differently in past phases of my life. Archetypal wisdom is all about listening beneath the surface, connecting story to your own story and truth, and holding yourself open to the striking of resonance that may come from 'hearing' what is being shared. I'll invite you to pay attention to what arises for you as you listen to this episode. We have all embodied courage, bravery and resilience at some point(s) on our journey. We have also embodied anger, either expressed or unexpressed. Anger is another piece of the Warrior, and a whole and healed Warrior expresses clean anger that does not obstruct their vision. Anger that is repressed, or expressed blindly scalds those with whom it comes into contact. And it leaves its mark on relationship, both with self and with others. This is the shadow side of the warrior. I will talk about the Savior archetype and how it relates to the Warrior, as well as the Saboteur as it pokes the unhealed warrior attributes, too. This is a fiery jam, harnessing the wisdom that I have been recently brought to pay attention to that is related to how I have manifested and presented the warrior qualities, both light and shadow, throughout my life. I hope this is an interesting and empowering jam for you. And I hope it spurs you to turn bravely, courageously, and resiliently towards your inner warrior. Love, Joy and Blessings from you host, Kristi Derkacy.

Finding Balance, in Relationship

Finding Balance, in Relationship

This week's riff on the Wisdom of Wyse Women Podcast is a continued flow of last's weeks, where I was jamming on finding balance in flow. This week, we are getting into finding our balance, returning to center point, when we are relationship with beloved others. At the time this episode is being released, we are about halfway through Libra season of 2020, and many of us are feeling the pull of that energy to align with our own sense of balance through Right Relationship. Through this energy, we can attune to the desire for flow and harmony in the spaces we create in our lives, particular when it comes to energetic exchange with others. We are going to cover the sort of push / pull dynamic of giving and receiving, of desire versus obligation, and for Right Relationship as we evolve on our journeys of Becoming.
Our meditation will take us into an intention setting practice where we will be called to witness ourselves within the energetic exchanges we create, and will guide us back to our center point.
It's a sacred jam for anyone who is navigating any kind of relationship in their lives right now, including the one to Self. So join me! It's a sacred space, and you are so welcome and encouraged to share it with me. Grateful and blessed to have you. A'ho.

Finding Balance, in Flow

Finding Balance, in Flow

This weeks episode is all about finding balance in the flow of life. This is such a difficult and deeply needed process of change right now. So many people have been expressing their inability to sustain themselves in the life they once had. That pull, the constant grind, just wasn't or isn't feeling Right anymore, With the worldwide changes this pandemic has brought, most of us have experienced change that has touched every part of our lives. We are being nettled with small d and big D deaths, and most of us are here in some rickety old boat, rocking back and forth, helplessly watching water spill over the sides as the waves rash and rage, while there also may be a slow (or fast) leak letting in more water from the bottom. With all that imbalance, we may even experience the "seasickness" that comes from allowing other things, people, places, etc to control our flow one life. In this state of absolute imbalance, we find ourselves with the realization that this is not working out so well at all for us. asking the question, "How the hell do I make it out of this alive?" Maybe we desire more than just to make it out "alive. Maybe we desire to make it peaceful, make it smoothly, make it balanced and in flow. In this episode, I am here to flow with you, and serve you with a jam on where we may be and the processes and practices that may get us to where we desire to be. In this case, in Right Relationship to balance in flow in our lives. A'ho
Love that you are here. Welcome to All of You. Sending you Love and Blessings always.

Letting the Masks Fall, with Mona Luna

Letting the Masks Fall, with Mona Luna

Welcome to this week's episode of the Wisdom of Wyse Women Podcast! This week, Mona Luna is joining us to talk about the masks we wear, and how we let them fall.. Mona is an intuitive life coach, and the holder of sacred women's circles. In this episode, she shares her story of Becoming, the unique ways in which her path unfolded, and the masks (false identities) that had to fall away as she moved ever closer to the desires of her heart. We get into deep conversation about breaking out of an old life, into the void of the new. She shares openly about her experience of depression, and the limitations it places on the mind and our beliefs in what is possible for our lives and ourselves. Through the practice of Ashtanga yoga, she tells us how she opened to invite great change to herself and the ways she experienced life. She jams on the struggles of crippling perfectionism and the continual process of moving through those narratives. It's an exchange that is jam packed with sharing, surprises, and celebration! Mona also takes us through our meditation this week with guidance to get us back into our bodies and tap the wisdom of our sensory experiences.
Other topics we riff on this week are:

Money Stories and scarcity narratives
avoiding the word "should"
awakening to our wisdom instead of silencing it
reclaiming our power to Know
codependency, self betrayal, avoidance patterns
shifting into a level "hierarchy" on which every voice matters and has something unique to express

Resting + Water Energy

Resting + Water Energy

Welcome to the Wisdom of Wyse Women Podcast, all you wyse souls who are finding my voice this week! I am your host Kristi Derkacy, and I am so excited + grateful to have you here with me as we riff on resting + water energy. You may be looking for the connection there, and I am going to say this: water as a symbol can represent the emotions, the womb, healing, and the depths of the subconscious. So when we are resting in a watery state, so to speak, we are probably doing some really deep work. There is likely some deep down psychic alchemy taking place, and that is why we feel foggy, or tired. Our energy is being pulled deeper, out of reach of the light of consciousness. Something new is being forged to be rebirthed when the energy resurfaces. Even when we are resting, we are still doing work. And the way we experience this is often within the workings of water energy.
Join me for the two part meditation to honor and connect with water energy and ground our energy in the polarity of water, earth energy. We return to steady breath as we float in a healing visualization.

Go Where You’re Guided

Go Where You’re Guided

Welcome to this week's solo jam on going where you're guided. Part of the way we walk in an aligned way is by heeding the advice, guidance, and feelings we get from our Higher Selves and the external guides in our lives. These can be people who understand our path and have a solid voice of mentorship for us. They can be spiritual beings, like angels, power animals, or beings from other realms. They can also be plants and earth spirits who wish to share a message with us. This divine, higher guidance is always available to us, and when we learn to open ourselves up to it, we are more easily able to hear exactly what is coming through and form where/whom. Because what we definitely do not want to do is give over the guidance or advice-giving to people who do not understand the path we are on. They cannot support us and validate us in the way we need and desire because they do not know how. Sometimes, these are the relationships that we will be guided to bless and release as we move through and towards a new space and phase of life. Anytime we move towards alignment, we are moving into some discomfort that change will inevitably bring. And that includes endings. I share about times when I experienced guidance, including times when I didn't even realize what I was hearing at the time. I begin the jam by answering the question: how do we know when it our Higher Self/Spirit/Guides speaking to us? I explain how this starts with sensations in the body and recognizing the meaning that each sensation carries when it comes to rightness for our life path. Once we learn to trust our bodies and our internal voices, like our intuition, we can begin to receive the validation and affirmation and the further guidance of beloved others. It is always available and accessible to us, and this episode is intended to offer you the strength in Knowing that you are being divinely and rightly guided on your path now and always. Just listen beyond just using your ears, and you will 'hear' what is being offered to you. In this weeks meditation, we work on calling on our guides to receive a message that is important for us to hear right now. I encourage you to do this several times throughout your week. So deeply joyful to have you, and hoping you feel sparked and guided by this episode and by my voice. Blessings to you as you move through your week.
