Quick little episode about the time I tried the Keto diet in the summer of 2018. It wasn’t easy but I did get impressive results. ‘Tis the season of diets so I figured I’d share my experience jumping onto the latest “fad” diet.

Episode Lucky Number 13!!! Today's episode is all about some "tools of the trade" and how to use them and even how to make them! Look at all this knowledge I give you all for free. How amazing am I? ;) This episode explores easy recipes to make oils for various purposes, charging amulets, and making mojo bags for protection. And guess what!! My shop is open again for 2020! Alleycatreiki.bigcartel.com you might be surprised what you find!

This is the final podcast episode for 2019! For this one we’re doing a little bit of a rewind and going back to the first episode where we talked about setting intentions. How well did it go this year? Did you accomplish what you wanted? Did you achieve your goals? Enjoy the holidays and have a fabulous start to 2020!!! 🎉 🎇

Today’s episode is all about crystals. Are rocks really magical? Who started using them? Why do people go crazy about shiny hard blobs from the ground? I talk about cultures that used crystals for more than just decoration, various purposes for them, and talk about some of my favorites.

Moving is a pain in the you-know-where! Having just completed an interstate one myself, I felt inspired to share some things to do when you move into a new space. These tips can also be used if you are renting a new space for work or a new business, or are staying in a place temporarily (ie: travel). 

This will be a quick episode to tie you over for the holidays! Some of us may need it after having guests in our homes as well. :) Cleansing a space is similar to cleansing of the self and many of the same ingredients can be used. I apologize if it sounds like I’m a little “spacey” during this episode—I was exhausted and it was hard to keep my train of thought.

Today's episode focuses on the important of ancestral veneration. This episode includes setting up altars 101, certain basic rules to follow, prayers to elevate them and more!  This episode is dedicated to the memory of my amazing mentor, Jasmina Radosavac, her husband Steve and daughter Anja. They tragically perished in a house fire on September 29, 2018. Their eldest daughter, Mia, survived the fire but lost everything. There is a fundraiser set up for her for her counseling, schooling, care and more. You can donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/Radosavac Jasmina went by the name "Ancestral Witch" online and had many incredible videos on YouTube full of information. I highly recommend that you watch them because she answers many FAQ's in her videos as well as a generous amount of information on Balkan magic. Thankfully they are still up as of the publishing of this episode. 

Thank you to my friends and mentors that helped give me feedback on this episode regarding how to venerate your ancestors if you are adopted/do not know your family. Your knowledge is immeasurable!

OH HELLO!

I know it's been a while since my last upload. Alleycat Reiki is putting business on hold for the next two months while I relocate to a new city! 

So as a gift to all of you, my faithful listeners, here is a short and sweet guided meditation I recorded last summer. It's my favorite one that I made--it came to me during a meditation session and the waves in the background are those of my hometown of Long Beach, NY! I hope you enjoy it and that it brings you peace, much like the ocean has always brought to me!

Hey all! I know it's been a while since my last episode. What I've been dealing with since the last time you heard from me is the topic of this episode! Have you ever had a crisis of faith? What set it off? Did you recover from it or are you still dealing with it? How did you conquer it? We've all gone through something that has tested our faith and convictions and made us doubt. Even the most prominent "spiritual gurus" have gone through it. This episode is about the crisis AND the comeback! I give some suggestions on how to get through those ground-shaking feelings of doubt and despair; this episode is to serve as a reminder that you are NOT alone in these struggles. We can overcome them together. 

Special thank you to Azure Daniels of Black Luna Spiritual Insights for not only sharing her story, but being a sponsor of today's episode! You may check out her services and contact her via Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/blacklunahw/

Today's episode is all about cleansing baths! I call this "Cleansing 100" because it's some of the most basic steps to prepare for a cleansing bath. This episode is perfect for beginners who may have heard of cleansing baths but have never taken one before, or wanting to make sure they're doing it "right."

Saturday March 23rd, I am hosting an online video class all about cleansing modalities including baths, eggs, knives, and more! It's $15 and you can sign up by contacting me via social media to reserve your spot! Check out my Instagram or Facebook pages for more information. And as always, enjoy!
