Truly Whole Podcast: Heal Your Soul

Do you fall into the trap of believing that your spiritual leaders have to big perfect?  I'm going to let you in on a big secret.  No one is perfect not even, and sometimes especially, not your spiritual leaders.  In today's episode, I talk about how this a good thing for all of us and how to know whether a reading is helping you or is doing you a disservice.  I empower you to learn to trust your own insincts as your own best resource in this life, and let spiritual leaders be guides instead.  You're meant to make your own rules in this life, not follow those defined by others.

Today's episode covers all the ways we sabotage ourselves from getting the most out of life.  I talk about this rise of being "too cool" to celebrate and how damaging it is to our collective happiness.  Celebrations are our way to spread joy on a country-wide and even international scale, and by being "too cool" for it, you're putting a stopper on your own joy and the spread of joy through others.  I address someof the most common concerns for common holidays and celebrations and offer more productive solutions on how to address your concerns while still maintaining their joy.

Life is tough! Make it that much better for yourself by leaning into celebrations rather than cutting them down.

Did you know your posture can directly influence your energy levels?  In today's episode, I tell you how modern posture is preventing you from breathing in the most beneficial way. Then I offer a breathwork meditation to reconnect you with your breath and the true capacity of your lungs.  This meditation is great to do in the mornings when you want to fill up and tackle the day refreshed and restored.

I think it's time we start having meaningful discussions.  It's time to get curious.  To extend compassion to what (who) triggers us, rather than going on the attack or the defensive.  It's time we get to the root of these conflicts so we can create real change rather than the growing divisiveness we've been seeing.

-

Why is call out culture just as bad?  Because it doesn't give people a chance to learn from their mistakes.  99% of us are doing the best we can.  We want to do better and we want to be better.  But when we are called out and ridiculed, we are being publicly shamed and that leads to us either shutting down or jumping right into defensiveness.  In either case, there is no learning, no chance for growth.  It entrenches both the accuser and the accused in their own respective camps to protect the egos.

-

So it's time to be brave and learn healthy ways to point out flawed logic, or blindspots but then offer connection, and the chance for growth.  Shutting people down for their actions doesn't create positive change.  At best it just slows the flow.  Usually though, the real problem makers continue unaffected and the people with the desire to make real positive change are left shamed and stuck.

-

It's time we start offering solutions to the world's problems rather than stop signs.  Let's show how we can move forward in more responsible ways rather than just trying to halt things.  The world doesn't stop turning.  We can never just "stop." But we can find ways to move forward in better, more productive ways.  If we truly want progress, this must become our reality.

Today I explore the idea that before you can find love from anyone else, you must first start by loving yourself.  I'm personally calling a bit of bullshit of this idea and giving it a bit more nuance.  If you're eager to hear some excellent garden metaphors you've come to the right episode!  As always, check out my instagram @mearaluna and check out all my offerings at www.mearaluna.com  Apologies for the delay in content.  Had a busy start to the week!

Most people know that the mind influences the body, but did you know the body also influences the mind? In today's episode, I talk about the fascinating science between three different ways your body maybe impacting your mental health.  Stuck in a rut trying to heal your mind?  Your body may be holding the key to further growth.  I cover your "second brain" (hint: it's where you get your gut feelings,) I cover the effective of expressions on emotions, and lastly I cover how we physically store emotion and stress and methods to release it.

Hello wonderful listeners!  In today's episode, I talk about the fascinating science of nerve desensitization and what that means for your body and your mind.  Have you ever wanted to play a new sport but couldn't get past the initial pain of it?  Or maybe you live with anxiety and don't know how to soothe it?  We are covering the whole spectrum today because it is all connected to the power of your nervous system.  I know you'll get a lot out of this episode.  As always, I cover both the science and the tools to make your nervous system work with you rather than against you so you can live your most fulfilling life!

*Special Episode* Where does intuition come from?  Where does genius come from?  Are past lives real?  What does it sound like to speak to the Akashic Records?  What can you expect to get in a reading?  In today's episode, I cover the Akashic Records, also known as ether, also known as the 5th dimension.  These records have links to almost all religious and spiritual practices throughout time.  The concept comes up over and over that within a higher dimension, there is an energetic record of every soul that has ever lived.  More and more people in this time are becoming able to access these records, myself included.  I end the episode by channeling a message from the Akashic Records for the listeners of this podcast.  Even if you skip all the history at the beginning, make sure to check out that channeled recording because if you're listening, then it is a special spirit message just for you!

Hello Everyone and Welcome back!

Today's episodes is for you if you're looking into getting into yoga or are interested in trying new types of yoga but aren't sure what the difference between all the styles is.  Yoga is a great way to balance, mind, body, and spirit and as a yoga teacher, I highly recommend it.  I know walking into a yoga class for the first time can be super intimidating so this gives you a super quick run down of what is involved in the different styles and what intensity level to expect.  I also finish the episode with a rundown of what the different intensity levels from 1, 1-2 all the way to 3 means because not every studio is super forthcoming with what those levels are meant to imply.

I hope you enjoy the episode, please rate and review on itunes if you enjoyed and subscribe on your favorite podcasting network.  Also please share your favorite piece from the episode on you instagram and I will share it to my audience @mearaluna.com
