Athena Wellness Podcast - Reclaiming Our Warrior Spirit

#137  Today’s conversation is about connection.  Connection with our inner knowing, with our energy and with our ancestral wisdom.  It’s also about creating sacred relationships, not only with our mind, body and spirit, but with everything and everyone in our environment.

I’m joined today by Brighid Murphy, who is a healer and teacher.  She’s also the founder of Path to Power Programs, where she empowers people to heal from within.

Here’s what we cover:

• Why connecting with our inner wisdom is so important;
• How to manage our energy and its relationship to personal power;
• How to use ancestral wisdom to heal ourselves; and
• How to create sacred relationships with the seen and unseen.

We end this episode with our Dose of Inspiration segment, where Brighid shares some of the things that are lighting her up these days.

#131  What comes to mind when you hear the word intuition?  Perhaps unconventional, instinct, gut feel, hunch or something more spiritual or mystical?  But as you’ll soon learn from today’s guest, we use our intuition to make decisions on a daily basis without realizing it. 

Using our intuition simply means having a knowing or understanding of a situation without using conscious reasoning and making a decision regardless of the related analysis or facts.  It’s when we override the data based on our inner knowing.

Our guest today is Laura Haehl, who helps her clients access and trust their intuition by learning to make intuitive decisions.  Laura has studied and been certified in a number of spiritual disciplines, including yoga, breathwork and meditation, to name a few.  She’s also leading a group in the fall of 2022 as they walk a portion of the Camino de Santiago in Spain.

Here’s what we cover:

• What intuition is and why it’s important to develop it;
• A practical approach to learn how to make intuitive decisions;
• What the Camino de Santiago is; and
• How making a pilgrimage can enhance your intuition.
