Spiritual Techniques for Alleviating Symptoms of Anxiety

Spiritual Techniques for Alleviating Symptoms of Anxiety

In this episode, we'll be discussing spiritual methods for dealing with anxiety, a common and often debilitating condition that can interfere with daily life. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting about 40 million adults, or about 18% of the population. While there are many effective treatments for anxiety, such as therapy and medication, some people find that incorporating spiritual practices into their self-care routine can be particularly helpful in managing their anxiety. In this episode, we'll be speaking about specific insights and personal experiences with using spiritual practices to find peace and calm in the midst of anxious thoughts and feelings

Season 5 Episode 1: Media as a Medium 🧿🦠

Join me for a more in depth discussion about why we need to guard ourselves from the information that is considered “normal” nowadays. The news, social media, discussions with our fellow people — all of it can affect our psycho spiritual boundaries. In order to navigate a world that is increasingly bombarding us with more and more pain and calamity on a daily basis, we need to establish why they formulate the “media” the way it is 🧿🦠

Episode 4: Word is Bond 🔗

Episode 4: Word is Bond 🔗

Tune in to learn more about the self-imposed imprisonment that can become your own words and thoughts if we are not aware of our own tendencies. I give a brief overview of the concept of words and how they are used against us to create limitations and tap into our subconscious without our awareness. Learn to hone in your mind on the concepts of archetypes so that you can begin to use words effectively as a tool to craft your story rather than being crafted by it! # alchemy #selfhelp #concious #shamanism #podcast #blog #soul #soulbased #meditation #esoteric #spirituality #shadowwork #egomastery #psychology #history #truth #ancient #ancestors #knowledge #spiritual #magick #occult #astrology #numerology #pagan

Episode 2: False Prophets 👁

Episode 2: False Prophets 👁

After a technical malfunction where my first recording got deleted, I gave you some quick fire things to look up. Mainly — the prophetesses before the priests in Kemet, the connection between Dionysus and Osiris (Ausar), and the usurpation of the old order with the new one. All of these topics are things you can look into to be prepared for the next episodes in season 3! Thank you all for your support and feedback, aśe

EP 24: Metamorphosis 🧿

EP 24: Metamorphosis 🧿

Many changes occurring! As many of you know I always take periods of recalibration when sharing my journey on here. Caught myself slipping and had to hold myself accountable. This is my journal; my progress on a spiritual path that doesn’t have an end but many many destinations. Sharing with you my innerstanding is great but I’d be a fraud if I didn’t also share my short comings. This is for all of us who are constantly holding ourselves accountable even during the darkness. I will be releasing new podcasts every other week once graduation is done (May 22!) — consider this episode my official rebranding. I encourage us all to shed skins as often as we need to to make space for our truth. Peace and love to all, asè 🙏🏽
