For this week's podcast, I decided to get a little personal and go solo. After receiving a biofield tuning session, I felt compelled to do this podcast on my own even though it wasn't in my schedule. "All true inner growth will make you feel uncomfortable, disturbed or scared for a little while. It's OK. it will pass." (Anonymous) Is there some inner work you feel called to work on?

Here is this week's Sunday Session with Heather 👇

Mantra of the week: "I love my body and all it does for me." Repeating mantras is a simple and easy way to re-wire our thoughts. The more we speak positively the more we choose to be in a better headspace. One day at a time. 

Mindset Swap

Instead of saying... 'What will everyone think of me?' 

Say this...'I am here to be my authentic self, not worry about what others think.'

After last Sunday's podcast with my friend Richelle (A Nurse's Battle For Wellness After Years Of Energetic Cord Trauma), I knew I had to do a podcast on protecting your energy. I asked one of my closest and oldest friends to jump on my podcast with me. I was really hoping she would do it because this podcast is different than my normal ones. This one is very interactive. I walked my friend Heather Davy through two other practices I've been working on to raise and clear my energy. Heather hadn't ever tried either of them before so I was able to teach her something new!

I hope you find these practices as helpful as I have. They are both from Tina Zion's books and teachings.

Things we covered in the podcast:

-Understanding that we all take a bath or shower every day to clean off our physical body. It is just as important or even more important to cleanse our auric/energetic field.

-Understanding the human toroidal field. I love it when spirituality and science connect.

-Walking Heather through the practice of "powering up." 

-For your copy of the steps click below:

​Toroidal Field.docx​

-Understanding how we have divine and sacred guilds to help us in life.

-Understanding how to call in our cleansing filter.

-Walking Heather through using the cleansing filter. For your copy click the link below:
