The Highly Sensitive Soul Podcast

Today is a very significant full moon in Libra. The Sun is making an exact conjunction to the wounded healer astroid planet, Chiron, at 16 degrees Aries, just hours before it opposes the full moon in Libra. This means that a part of the story of this full moon is centered around healing: your own healing, healers and mentors in your life, as well as your deepest wound. In tandem with this theme, i...

Today I'm talking about three very significant things that will block our healing process. Just like we can't expect to get physically healthy if we keep ingesting toxic foods, our mental and emotional space also needs to be curated in order to create an environment ripe for healing. In this episode I go into three areas that may be holding you back from making the breakthroughs you desire in your...

In this episode I talk about how to track your process of moving into states of more harmony, or coherence. It can be easy to feel lost in life, so this episode helps give us a rudder: a way to tell if you are "on track", by tracking synchronicities, messages and your intuition. This is a practical application of using our "spidey" senses to line yourself up with your most fulf...

Today, in honor of the Spring Equinox, I wanted to offer a short releasing ritual that you can listen to and come back to any time you are feeling the heaviness of your own mental space. There is plenty around us in the external world to sift through, but all we can control is what is happening inside of us. When we can shift this, we can have a new experience and begin to attract better things. A...

Spring is JUST around the corner. Equinox is March 20th, and at that point we will officially be in Spring. This episode is about how to prepare for the Spring by doing some Spring cleaning. Specifically I talk about doing some cleaning and clearing out around your home and belongings, as well as entering into some sort of focused cleanse for your body. I offer a 3 week gentle cleanse protocol, wh...

This episode is based on a statistic in the Edelman studies on Trust. Do you know that 67% of people choose not to trust unless given a reason to? For me, this statistic explains so much about the hostility we feel in our modern world. 2/3rd's of the population chooses not to trust.  This leads to judgement, projection, othering, polarization and negativity, all of which severely dampen our human...

I have a quick episode this week, just a few comments on the astro-weather. Please tune back next week or dive into the archives for more extensive content! If you want to reach out, you can find me at www.juliabernbaum.com . Thanks again for dropping by to say hello!

This is one of those episodes that felt divinely inspired (well, most of them do...). But it felt particularly special. It's about that trap door out of the rat race mentality when we can recognize that all things serve a purpose. The darkness can have just as many gifts for us as the light. The slowness, as many gifts as the fast lane. It is a reminder not to favor preferences in life, but to kee...

You, yes you! Are you holding yourself back? If we are honest we are always on that edge: should I go for the job, the raise, the date, the car, the house, the role, the limelight? We all have reasons, inner children, who hold us back out of fear, anger, hurt and pain.  Life is wild and unpredictable and it's just SAFER to stay small, right?  Well, it can be. But how are you doing over there in th...

This episode is about learning how to discern if your choices are life-giving or life-draining?  It is so important to keep our energy flowing to life giving choices including people, places, food we eat, etc. How do you know if what you are choosing is life-giving or life-draining? It's actually not always so easy to tell.  I offer an exploration on this subject including some homework...

This week's message is about self acceptance. Can you fully embrace and accept yourself exactly as you are? Sure, you could work on changing and improving yourself 'til the cows come home, but what about just letting you be you? This Sunday we have a full moon in Leo, and Leo energy is all about claiming who you are, loud and proud. Try it out if you have not taken the time to appreciate and accep...

This episode is all about the ways you may be getting in the way of your own success. I talk a little bit about the Ayurvedic Dosha's: Vata, Pitta & Kapha, and how they can manifest in keeping us from our sense of peace (Sattva) or getting what we want in life.  I list several ways we can actively be blocking our success, often through no fault of our own, but through our patterning and c...

This week I decided to go over the transits of the week since they were just so interesting. The movements include Mercury turning direct in a trine to retrograde Uranus, Sun conjoining Pluto, an Aquarian New Moon, Venus conjoining Saturn, the Lunar New Year of the Water Rabbit, and Uranus going direct.  I thought it would be interesting to break it all down for you, new and seasoned astrologers a...

This episode is about how to tell if you are making the right decision: Go towards the light!  I break down what this means in regards to our habits and patterns, and how to tell if you are making a life affirming, or life-dulling choice. Sometimes, it can be hard to tell. Uplevels are waiting for us around every bend, so how can we continue our climb in the right direction, so that we have a...

Welcome to the new year! We made it. Now it's time to take stock.  Did you properly release 2022? Are you current with the current YOU? Today I talk about the importance of staying current in our lives: from our outer world of belongings, files, etc, to our inner world of emotions, perceptions and beliefs. I talk about the energy of "fixed" signs in the zodiac and how that can translate to "d...

In lieu of a releasing ritual, I decided to offer a Tarot reading for the energies coming in for us in 2023. This was a powerful and sobering look at what we have ahead of us. I do not sugar coat my readings, and this reading tells it to us straight, with both things to be wary of, as well as positive energies afoot. It instructs us where to put our energies, and how to uplift our spirits in order...

As we head toward the new year, it's a wonderful time to start wrapping up 2022 and making space for the new year to come on through.  Getting rid of things that no longer serve us, looking back at the highlights, and opening space for what's to come can invite in a really good start to the new year. Do this year differently by preparing and laying the ground for what you really want.  Y...

It is in fact, December 14 (not the 13th, as I said in the episode :) Today I'm talking about how we need to embrace making mistakes. Often, the idea of making "mistakes" will keep us stuck in a frozen place of fear. We are afraid to make the same mistake, a new mistake, to be wrong, to waste time, etc. But it is so important to understand that we can actually learn so much from these mistakes. Th...

Ok, so this episode has been around the block. I originally release this overview early in the podcast to kick off the 21 Hidden Root Causes of Dis-ease Project. I then took that episode down, and re-recorded this one, which somehow never got published. Turns out, I found it in the archives, and it was incomplete. So here it is with a current intro and outro to complete the list. Now at 1 hour/23...

Today's episode is just a musing on the current full Moon in Gemini conjunct Mars. I talk about what people have said this would mean, and then offer an alternative perspective. I find the sky symbolism endlessly fascinating, really the greatest show in town :)  I hope you learned something from this episode about powers and themes much larger than us. You can find me at www.juliabernbaum.com for...

I wonder if you have ever given this a thought.  Have you ever thought about the idea of self-protection? We have the capacity to protect ourselves if we choose, once we know it is possible.  Often times, due to our upbringing, we may not have been modeled self-protection. We may not have been offered protection from our caregivers, and they may not have demonstrated what it would look l...

This is an episode aimed directly at changing your narrative around the holidays. If the holiday is bringing up anything negative for you: if you are feeling obligatory, dutiful, dread, stress, fear, anger, etc...this episode is about taking your power back over your story and your emotional experience so that you can do things differently and come out triumphant rather than being a martyr, a vict...

Kala is a Sanskrit word that illustrates the concept of "timing"  Today, I am bringing this concept forward for us to use as a place of rest, trust and remind us that patience is needed in life.  I hope this episode is useful for you. You can find me at www.juliabernbaum.com for more information about working with me. Thank you for listening today. 🙏

If you are in, or have gone through a deep healing process, then you know that protecting your process is extremely important.  These chapters of our lives, which can even span lifetimes, indicate that tender care is needed in order to successfully heal. Just like healing a literal wound, we must nurse, support and pamper ourselves through a healing process, including knowing: 1. That we must prot...

With everything going on: Eclipse season, the elections, Mars RX, the Holidays, and the bustle at the end of any year, we need to find moments and methods to UNWIND.  In this episode, at about 10 minutes in, I offer a cool down, zenned out meditation.  Please find a comfortable space where you can listen and follow along. And please revisit whenever you need to cool things down, during the last fe...
