A Lone Traveler's Guide to the Divine

Welcome dreamers, seekers, healers and anyone on their healing journey. My name is Amanda Lux of the Elevation Hive school and community for energy medicine and dreamwork. In this podcast, I share teachings, musings, poems, songs, and interviews with other amazing humans who walk the healer's path. 

Lean in for some serious wisdom on living a realized life, manifesting your dreams, and the importance of finding what you love and giving it away. In this episode I'm thrilled to share some serious inspiration and downright encouragement from two of my most treasured mentors; Gary Strauss and Tracy Griffiths. In this episode they share:

• How they have sustained their healing arts careers in teaching and practicing Craniosacral and Polarity therapy among other things, over many decades (I have been following them around for over 20 years and I'm a newbie...so, like, yeah- you will want to listen up!)
• The one piece of advice they would give to their younger selves
• How working with the nervous system and specifically the vagus nerve is essential for living a healthy life in todays stressful environment
• How their upcoming trip to Olympia Washington to share these tools is going to be the best time ever- and you should absolutely come! (Even if you are finding this later... you should still check out our upcoming classes and programs)xoxo.

True listening is more than just hearing what is being said. Listening can be an offering. It can be transformative. It can be the greatest gift we could ever offer ourselves or another.

• How to listen to another person (or yourself) using polarity energetic principals
• How resonance is more than just matching another's vibration, as the process of reflecting effectively is actually amplifying
• How listening creates resonance and rapport
• How rapport creates a field for healing that is proven to be affective across all modalities both psychological and physiological
• Musical divination for your listening pleasure (as inspired by a dream I incubated for this episode)!

The earth element can help us to ground our energy, face our fears as we cultivate courage (which can be supportive when dealing with nightmares as well as difficulties in our waking life). The earth element can also be helpful for bringing energetic resolution to the traumas- both big and small that have taken up residency within our bodies.

• Learn how the earth element relates to fear and courage- and how to harness the grounding, balancing powers of the earth in order to face scary things in life
• Learn about the astrological and physiological correlations or the energy triad of earth and how to recognize when this element is in or out of balance in your body
• Experience a poem I wrote on facing fear called "when the hunted becomes the hunter"
• Enjoy a simple but powerful visualization for connecting to the earth
• Learn how to work with nightmares along with my favorite tip for re-entering them safely (which also applies to facing our fears in our waking life as well).

Join me for the forth episode in the Soul-Care Series for a ritual-like auditory journey through the fire element.

I took a few RISKS in this episode, as I embodied the fire through my creation process. I was honest, I was direct, and the last chunk of air time is dedicated to a somatic attunement to the fire itself. I invite you to light a candle on your altar with me before you listen...

and be prepared to DANCE.

In this episode of the Soul-Care Series you will:

• Learn about the various qualities of fire as they ignite our anger, rage, personal power, and enthusiasm!
• Hear about my own challenges with fire and the ways I often "burn out" (and how I hold space for these patterns to move and express).
• Learn the polarity perspective on staying neutral, objective, curious, and yet related to the elements and the often difficult emotional qualities that show up as we explore what it means to be "spirit greatness having a human experience".
• Experience a poem on fire (at the very start of the episode) from my book which you can learn more about or purchase on Amazon here:   The Soul-Care Workbook: A 33 Day Journey Through your Chakras and Elements  
• Join me in a guided movement experience and receive a somatic attunement to FIRE
• Dance like nobodies watching.
