Wind Down Wednesdays

In Episode 144 we talk about the increasing intensity of the energies we are being asked to integrate and how this will culminate in the middle of next year. I introduce the idea of energetic literacy as a way of dealing with the ups and downs of life. What is it? How much energetic literacy does the average person need? How can it help us to not only survive but thrive through these tumultuous ti...

In Episode 143 we discuss the connection between embodiment and our voice. What do we sound like when we are disembodied due to trauma and cultural programming as opposed to when we are fully occupying our bodies energetically? Why does this matter? How is vocal work linked to trauma release and spiritual excavation? This meditation is a vocal exercise designed to help you begin to explore the ful...

In Episode 142 we discuss the complexity of embodiment. It's not just about being present in the body (which is hard enough to accomplish!). Embodiment extends to presence within the energetic spaces in and around the body as well as to the light body, the Divine light/soul connection that exists beyond this physical realm. Discussion in this episode builds on themes of energy as a fluid mediu...

In Episode 141 we celebrate 3 years of WDW with a card pull for the show and another one for the Blue Supermoon. Full moons are the culmination of the energy of each moon cycle, celebrating the intentions we set during the new moon, releasing what no longer serves, and preparing us for rest and renewal. This collective reading, while given at a full moon, can apply to any time in our lives when we...

In Episode 140 we discuss the deceptively simple idea of not giving from an empty cup. What are the reasons that keep us from filling our cup physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually? Why is it so hard to put our needs first in order to give from abundance rather than scarcity? This meditation is a gentle invitation to identify the areas in which your cup may be empty and to ste...

In Episode 139 we discuss the 3 parts of energetic discernment and how our auric body is meant to act as a proximity alert and shield that gives us the chance to make a conscious decision about what we allow into our energetic field. We talk about how trauma can interfere in the development of this protective system and how the ego mind can try to convince us that we should take on energies that a...

In Episode 138 we delve into different reasons why we hold on to hurt, including denial, people pleasing, and wanting acknowledgment and/or justice for the hurt. I define shadow work, we talk about how difficult it can be to look at aspects of ourselves we don't want to admit to, and we discuss how that work is essential for true healing. This meditation is a guided healing session to identify...

In Episode 137 we talk about building relationships and communities with balanced feminine and masculine energies. We discuss how an undercurrent of competition lies beneath most of our communities, and how this doesn't serve individual members or the community at large. This meditation is an invitation to check in with the role of competition and comparison in our lives from a safe, physicall...

In Episode 136 we discuss why a regular practice is so important, what the components of that practice are, and I walk through a fun analogy of the Wizard of Oz as a journey to reintegration and embodiment. This meditation is an invitation to ground into the body fully then expand out into the energetic fields around the body. ⁠Donate⁠ to support the show. Check out my  ⁠website⁠  for many more to...

In Episode 135 we discuss the importance of clarity, harmony and expansion not only as tools to help us achieve "healing," but as the three aspects of connecting with our Divine nature and stepping into service for the highest good. I give a little bit of background about why I don't like the word healing and how the Catholic idea of the Holy Trinity inspired this episode. This medit...

In Episode 134 we discuss the anatomy of expansion-- how accepting and integrating new energy into our fields requires us to expand the energy within and around our bodies and how we must begin to maintain that expansion by attending to the expanded energy. We talk about energetic anatomy, how to clear energy in the spaces around the body, and why it's important to call in new, fresh, loving e...

Last year we did an entire series around trauma-based fears and trauma healing (see Episodes 96-110). In Episode 133 I discuss a recent period of growth that has had me confronting old trauma-based fears and acknowledging how far I've come in my own trauma healing. We discuss the amazing ways the Universe shows up to support our growth and how being fearless does not mean having no fear but ra...

In Episode 132 we discuss the ebb and flow of energetic cycles, how we can miss the opportunity to rest and recharge when we are called to because the stillness can be triggering to our ego, and I share my recent experience of finding the flow in stillness at the beach. This meditation is an invitation to find stability through grounding then explore the flow within that stillness. ⁠Donate⁠ to sup...

In Episode 131 we talk about two methods of energy work I practice: Reiki and Dimensional Frequency Expansion (DFE), which is a new vibrational healing method I have channeled and am now teaching. I explain the difference between Reiki and DFE as well as how they are in fact meant to work together, and I share a special announcement about a new form of Reiki I will soon be sharing: Dimensional Fre...

In Episode 130 we discuss my realization that energy is the foundation for our health on all levels and how it led me to become an energy worker, and I tell two stories of recent sessions that illustrate the power of this work. This meditation is a guided self energy healing session which I have boosted by adding Reiki and sound healing to assist you. Join  my Patreon community, the Spiritual Inte...

In Episode 129 I talk about the difference between chronic "little t" nervous system triggering and how a "big T" trigger can be the catalyst we need to wake us up to the fact that we've been triggered without realizing it. We also discuss the energetic pattern of each of the sympathetic states: fight, flight, freeze and faun, and how oxytocin breathing and my 3 step proces...

In Episode 128 we discuss the link between safety, receptivity and intuition; specifically how we must continue to train our bodies to feel safe in order to be receptive to intuitive information. This meditation is a strong, safe invitation to travel down into the depths with me; to find the safety and support within our connection to the Earth in order to then open to receive intuitive informatio...

***There is an echo on this recording that I was unable to alter but it does not affect the content*** In Episode 127 I interview a guest for the very first time on the show. My guest, Katie Bowers, is an EFT coach, and we discuss how we met, what EFT tapping is and how it can help us release old frequencies from the body, and our new bi-weekly Zoom offering called Tap 'N' Tone, in which w...

In Episode 126 I share a recent channeled message I received about death, joy and freedom. We spend so much of our lives feeling as if we don't have a choice about things, but at a fundamental level we always have a choice, even in death. This meditation is an invitation to create or deepen your practice of building your energetic sanctuary as a space of healing and an invitation to expand into th...

In Episode 125 I talk about my history of connecting with people and beings in the spiritual realms (channeling), and how I think it's both an innate talent for some people but also a skill that can be learned and improved through practice. We discuss a recent channeled message I received during a conversation with Louise Hay, a pioneer in the self help industry who passed away in 2017, about...

***This episode deals briefly with pregnancy and child loss. If you would like to skip past that segment, please start listening at 11 minutes 30 seconds.  In Episode 124 I share my experience of reconnecting with my lost children and experiencing the interplay between the energy of light and fluid movement at my recent craniosacral level 2 training. We discuss the idea that energy moves as a...

In Episode 123 we discuss how sometimes life is difficult and we can get caught in the trap of toxic positivity, denying difficult emotions because we think they are somehow less evolved. But there will always be difficult periods in our lives, and being spiritual means that we have the tools to flow through those difficulties with less resistance, navigating difficult times with some grace and ea...

In Episode 122 we talk about the innate human need to feel like we belong to something larger than ourselves, both spiritually and socially. I present the idea that focusing inward and developing our spiritual connection allows us to have more authentic, aligned connections socially. Sometimes despite our best efforts we do feel alone, both spiritually and socially, and in these moments we can rea...

In Episode 121 we talk about the complexity of my slogan, "Claim Your Light and Let it Shine." What are the layers involved in rediscovering and reconnecting to our light after experiencing trauma and cultural programming? How important is embodiment in this process? Why is it so hard to shine our light-- to allow ourselves to be seen fully as our authentic selves? How does heart-centered communit...
