Another mercury in retrograde episode brought to you by 5 previous guests on the Awaken and Align Podcast. We've all had that gut feeling, that deeper knowing to follow something that is not rational. It's a feeling you can't deny but many people do because it's not logical. In this episode, these 5 guests share their aha moment; that awakening moment that changed everything.    FULL SHOW NOTES

Laura Chung is a New York based Reiki Master and Meditation Teacher. She has her Masters in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and spent most of her adult life in corporate America following a traditional life path. After achieving what most people would call a “successful” life, she did not feel any happier or fulfilled. On a quest to find her true purpose in life, she quit her job in 2017. She became nomadic and traveled the world; stopping by places like India to become a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher. She has worked with shamans, astrologers, energy healers, sages and eventually becoming a Reiki Master herself. Somewhere along this journey, she realized that the secret to life is within you. Laura’s purpose here on earth is to teach you how to co-create your DREAM LIFE with the Universal Laws and by guiding you through your awakening, healing, and transformation. I'm an Aries sun, Aquarius moon, and Sagittarius rising.    Like always friends, bring your calendar and notebook to mark some dates and take some notes! October is a month of energetic shifts!    FULL SHOW NOTES
