Integrated Awakenings with Maria

83 Grounding, Land Spirits, Belonging, how to do that in the Age of the Internet This one has been a long-time brewing: an episode on Land Spirits, (advanced!) grounding, and how can we really energetically and meaningfully engage on the internet? Topics might seem disparate at first glance, but so much of the integration needed these days are multi-faceted: our minds have access to so much inform...

Welcome to our first cafe-atmospheric podcast, we have a wonderful guest @jupitergrace sitting down with us and walking us through the primary roles, lessons and integrations of our Human Design (HD) Chart. An accessible system that combines, the iching, astrology and the body, Grace walks us through the main centers of our HD chart and what it really means to be closed/open in these specific aspe...

Back from a short break we have a solocast on one of the most underrated and quite frankly! misunderstood type of healing lineage. We often talk about ancestral healing, in the lens of our primary parental wounds, but this episode invites us into cultures, traditions and even concepts around land/minerals as A ancestor, to really make generous and wide our concept of family, ancestry and connectio...

This one is a certified banger, we have the lowdown on an often vilified but potent planet: Ms. Saturn. Maria has invited the wonderful integrative astrologer, Thea of @soulsoiltlc to walk us through what it really means to have a Saturn Return, lessons, and the elemental aspects of it’s cosmic-stuff and phases. We cover somatic expressions of these energetic integrations and talk about the soupy...

Let’s talk about the year of the snake and the archetype of shedding. Themes of collaboration are coming up for the Chinese New Year, and it becomes important not only to be honest with ourselves with our own needs but to be lucidly clear with what we can expect and exchange in our various relationships. We also cover plenty of learnings with regards to relating to crystals: choosing quality over...

78 Domestic Magick & New Year Purging WELCOME TO THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE NEW YEAR! Fresh from our little break we have a very conveniently timed episode: How to purge (the different ways of it), and How magick and wisdom is so available our everyday environment. Let me hang out with y’all as you reset for the new year, and how we so easily miss the present and blooming wisdom that can be righ...

By the end of the year we usually take stock of the past, and meet maybe (with some disappointment and frustration!) the gap between our previous new year’s intentions, goals, and maybe our own personal expectations. The energy of innocence, hope, youth, dreams, vigour is something that will always co-exist and lie in contrast with the energy of salt, mud, wisened protection, aged bitterness, the...

For our second outdoor episode! hang out with Maria and Charm Aradia (@charmaradia the practitioner behind @kandeladia), and some park cats as we talk about Charm’s wisdom journey, and some basic invocation techniques. Charm has a lineage of closed practice, so what is disclosed is a curious peek into a muddy, elemental and rooted practice that is not only local but is also respectful of the sensu...

A long overdue episode! Maria takes everyone on a tour of books, lineages and wisdom bodies that are good foundational starting points for spiritual practice. We cover the major categories of: Personal Development, Psyche Adjacent, Spiritual, Podcasts and Special Mentions to present a wide base of development that is most appropriate and integrative for every person/soul. Maria basically does a re...

In this episode of Integrated Awakenings we have a Philippine functional mushroom pioneer Jilly Lovegood talking to us about her relationship with nourishment, and trusting synchronicities to manifest access to wild, ethically sourced, and the heart aligned business that she has today. She walks us through her unique experiences of sharing a lot of food wisdom during the height of the pandemic, as...

OUR FIRST OUTDOOR Atmospheric podcast ep! Come hang with Maria and Lilay habang pinaguusapan ang mga bagay tungkol sa pagagawa ng sining tungkol sa ating mga puki, pagtatahi, at ang simpleng kapasidad ng pakikineg sa mga istorya. I personally feel really expanded by this conversation, as a very real practice of pakikinig at pagpapakilala sa sarili, at pagsasabuhay ng mga intention mo sa paglilikha...

Hot off the press we’ve got a very important solo-cast with Maria: talking about Life Transitions and the cycles of time. A lot of folks have a lot of tangled up grief and emotions around transitions: from being a child to a teenager, to what does adulthood even mea? what and where are the elders supposed to look like, why even bother looking forward to aging? The thing is most of these life cycle...

In this new solocast on Integrated Awakenings, we have Maria walking us through a new way of thinking about the energetic body. Instead of thinking of chakras specifically or thinking of auric layers, we talk about the major systems that make up and fuel our energetic body, referenced and synthesizing multiple energetic body systems. We talk about major considerations with: natal energy, land/ecos...

Have you ever felt a violence possess you and felt overwhelmed, bad, unacceptable? let’s Unpack that. In this juicily thorough episode we have Vicky Marquez, a great thinker and friend to walk us through why is it really that we feel uncomfortable about power, justice, gender, oppression and all manners of Systemic Violences, and what it has to do with both our personal and collective healing. We...

Hello and welcome to a thorny banger! This is honestly a very tricky topic to discuss as most folks can have a lot of built-up trauma around money, systemic power struggles, and perceptions with income classes that’s just got it good. As much as spirituality and Love steeps all things, very “societal” constructs: like classism and privilege are these very real karmic-imprints/thought-forms/collect...

Today we have a long-awaited guest, a long time collaborator of Maria, Anna Dominique Santos, an artist-healer from Bulacan comes to talk on the show about the spiritual aspect allowing yourself to be a conduit of Art and a creative force. We also talk about the usual hang-ups of student’s and client’s she’s come to address and talk about the power of a radically compassionate and authentic art pr...

Hi! This episode doesn't have an ep intro so that it's optimized to be looped when you're sleeping or resting, or when you feel like you want to actively journey/visualize reclaiming your own energy. This is specifically designed to help folks recharge, outside the bounds of time, as well as to tap to their original frequency, supportive energies, and their innate magick, dimensions/levels/version...

Hi and welcome to an exciting episode from Integrated Awakenings, we have a special guest Amara Strand, a wonderful contemporary example of enlightened living, talking to us about Advanced Dreaming techniques. We both share expanded experiences, immense downloads, and specific technique developments when transitioning and weaving alongside the different dimensions of the dream realm! Whatever the...

It’s been a while since we had a magick episode so let’s do comeback with a banger: Let’s Interrogate What Really Is The Source of Magick, and what is really holding you back from having an infinite tap to it? Is it a thing you buy off the shelf? Something specially gifted? Something unconditionally and totally faced? Are we sapped of it by the dredges of bad thought-loops, and vampiric societal a...

Continuing an old series (since feb pa!) — the creative process as spiritual discipline. In this episode we’re talking about how to feel very enabled and liberated to translate our curiosities and creativities in between creative mediums and expressions. We’ll talk about how that might just bust you out of a creative rut, and also activate parts of you that have felt dormant or under stimulated an...

Manifesting! Money! Miracles! Is always a high priority for so many of us. In this episode, we tackle alongside our guest Azaza, common blocks, belief systems and nuances that usually brings practitioners out of alignment. Wether it’s your definition of abundance-plenty, generosity, or perceptions about fate/deservingness, we’ll definitely be introducing shifts into that language. If you’ve ever w...

I CANT BELIEVE I HAVEN’T HAD AN EPISODE ON THIS. In this ep of Integrated Awakenings Maria covers a few unexpected examples of how spirits/god/love “sees you” and your truth. Often times, a radical self-knowing and acceptance, is cushioned with out accountability, or the emphasis of being able to advocate your gifts and your work. Maria covers the necessary labor of coming into really knowing ones...

In this solo-cast of Integrated Awakenings, we’ll be covering very useful developmental concepts with regards to how and why parents seem to be such a source of disappointment, trauma and unhealthy patterns we bring even to old age. Is adulthood always marked by this loss of innocence? Does anybody ever really grow up? What if our parents still act like children, what grief is that now? This episo...

In this new podcast episode we have as our guest, Nix, a practicing korean folk-shaman and anthropologist sitting us down and easefully combing for us the core differences in thinking around western and eastern mystical-spiritual practices. We have a holistic discussion on how western philosophy may relate to things via pictures (the snapshot of a situation - eg: a tarot spread) versus the dynamic...

This is not a podcast ep! THIS IS A POWERFUL SESSION. In this episode we have Maya Banawa conducting a healing ceremony for Maria’s voice, intuitively feeling into, and sharing her process of guiding people into unlocking their authentic voice. For this session, what was released were warrior chantings, ancestral rememberings, child embracings — and meanderings around frogcroaks and what is really...
