Courage.  Motivation.  Responsibility.  Leadership.

These are all signature qualities of the Divine Masculine, an extraordinary energy available within us all.  Join us in a great conversation with special guest Jason Kaplan to learn more about energetic archetypes, balancing the Divine Masculine with our Divine Feminine, and how we can tap into inherent strength to lead boldly, radiantly, and confidently as our highest selves.  This week's discovery takes a philosophical turn as Mary shares her research on Stoicism, and ways to connect to this concept with presence and wisdom in our daily lives.  We celebrate the luminous Selenite as this week's featured crystal, and share some updates for holiday creations and events through our Etsy shop.

Welcome, Moon Minnjas! In this episode, we explore the topic of Light:  what it means to embrace our own light within and the empowerment we can find through the process.  We talk about dualism, polarity, and the extremism felt in our collective world today.  These themes connect to our own personal stories related to Yoga and how our practice has transformed our connection to self.  We dive deep into discoveries about Angels, the art of Lithophanes, and our crystal of the week, Lodolite (Garden Quartz, Shaman Stone).   Resources and References: Apostrophe Soul Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/apostrophe_soul/ Apostrophe Soul Etsy Shop:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/ApostropheSoul "Super Attractor," Gabrielle Bernstein:  https://www.audible.com/pd/Super-Attractor-Audiobook/B07SLMQRTS "The Angel Bible: The Definitive Guide to Angel Wisdom," Hazel Raven: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-angel-bible-hazel-raven/1111742821 Yin and Yang: "I-Ching" or "Book of Changes":  https://www.amazon.com/Ching-Book-Changes-Bollingen-General/dp/069109750X Seane Corn (Yoga):  https://seanecorn.com/ Elevate the Globe (Kundalini Yoga):  https://elevatetheglobe.com/ Fluid Coffee (Bosco Store Location):  https://www.fluidcoffeelove.com/ "Speculum Alchemiae" (Prague, Czechia: Photo of Moses Chandelier):  http://www.alchemiae.cz/en/fotogalerie History of the Lithophane:  https://itslitho.com/itslitho-blog/lithophane/one-of-the-most-unusual-artworks-from-the-early-19th-century-the-history-of-lithophane/

Happy start of Autumn, Moon Minnjas!

In this week's episode, we tackle the sensitive subject of Anxiety: defining it, understanding it, and working with it.  We discuss how we manage this energy and our mindset surrounding it on a daily basis.  By tuning in to our internal guidance system, we can learn to navigate uncertainty by expanding our awareness through practices like meditation, movement, and mindfulness.  We share new journal prompts, explore a little Viking history, learn about the magnificent mineral, Calcite, and present this week's questions to Papa Merlin.

Welcome, moon minnjas!  This week, we celebrate the official launch of our Etsy shop, Apostrophe Soul!  In this episode, we dive deep into discussion about support, worthiness, transition, empowerment, and understanding your own process.   We also explore topics surrounding the nature of work and forging your own unique path towards achieving goals.  The history of photography (specifically, photogravures) captures our interest, and the sunset crystal carnelian makes an appearance to help us tap into our inner strength.  Papa Merlin answers our listeners' questions.
