In this second part of their lively conversation with special guest energy healer and astrologer Camellia Lee, Jaimie and Sunny delve into the topic of dreams and what it means to dream as a multi-dimensional collective.
Special guest energy healer and astrologer Camellia Lee joins Jaimie and Sunny to discuss how to figure out your life purpose (figurative and literal), in ways that not only honor your lineage, but also liberate you from conventional narratives of success.
Jaimie and Sunny discuss the joyful and creative aspects of honoring their ancestors and collective histories. From the annoying but ultimately valuable aspects of our personalities that we inherit from our parents, to the more light and profound details of our past that we want to bring into the future, this episode considers the meaning of inheritance beyond narratives of trauma and injury.
In this reflective meditation, Sunny guides you through an imaginative journey where you can experience forgiveness, release any tension in your heart chakra, and feel your heart open to more love.
