Manifestation is a hot topic in the spiritual space. The practice can be beautiful, but it can also highlight many of the overarching issues that plague the spiritual community including racism, classism, privilege, and spiritual bypassing. If manifestation has been difficult for you to align with, or if you're interested in shaking up your current manifestation routine, you'll want to tune into this episode from start to finish. 

Join us as we chat with Deva Holliday, a Los Angeles based actress and comedian shining a whole new light on the practice of manifesting. Deva is the mastermind behind Niche Manifestations, which has become a viral TikTok sensation, even catching the attention of major news outlets like Cosmopolitan Magazine and Good Day LA. We dive into Deva's signature manifestation style, which highlights the importance of leveraging humor while walking a spiritual path. We also zoom out to explore the concept of manifesting overall — what it is, why it works, how it can be problematic, and how you can use it as a positive and productive part of your spiritual practice. 

In this episode, you'll hear about Deva's storied background, from her cult commune upbringing, to decolonizing and reconditioning the religious and social imprints she received as a child, to harnessing the power of gratefulness, to her current thriving life in Los Angeles, and more.

Sound is a fundamental and all-encompassing element in our lives. It holds a powerful capacity to forge profound connections with our inner selves, with others, and with the very essence of life itself. Sound attunes us to our humanity and provides a gateway to spiritual well-being. The therapeutic potential of sound is vast, offering relief to those grappling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, PTSD, insomnia, and a spectrum of physical and emotional ailments. From deepening relaxation and enhancing visualization to fostering mental focus, creativity, and spiritual growth, sound is a force of healing and transformation. It's more than music; it's a vibrational foundation echoing through every aspect of our existence.

In this episode we speak with special guest Arlyn Ruddy, a Charleston-based rapper, Initiated Sound Therapist, and the creatrix of Awaken Spanda (to name a just a few of her many well-trained roles). Arlyn was originally invited to speak with us about sound baths, but after dipping our toes in the water, the conversation evolved into a broader exploration of sound as a healing art. Arlyn opens up about her personal story and reveals how sound became a pivotal element in her healing arsenal. We talk about everything from Arlyn's music and sound healing techniques, to the emotions that music can stir, to sound as a spiritual catalyst, to the commercialization and misuses of sound, its universal nature, and beyond. Tune in and discover how vibration is a language of healing, creativity, and profound connection.

"At the root of all power and motion, there is music and rhythm, the play of patterned frequencies against the matrix of time. We know that every particle in the physical universe takes its characteristics from the pitch and pattern and overtones of its particular frequencies, it's singing. Before we make music, music makes us." - Joachim-Ernst Berendt

About Arlyn Ruddy:
With a journey spanning over two decades in the holistic wellness arena, Arlyn Ruddy is a multifaceted and multi-dimensional creatrix: a rapper, musician, initiated sound therapist and trainer, licensed neuromuscular therapist, body/energy worker and more. She’s worked alongside preventative doctors and professionals in the holistic field of medicine around the country. Through her innovative techniques, Arlyn unlocks the soul’s unique vibrational signature, connecting people to their highest form of consciousness through sound and breathwork. Arlyn’s signatures include Sound Ceremonies, S.E. Breathwork immersions, and Gong Therapy sessions. These transformative experiences are designed to restore optimal human potential and bring unconscious parts of the energy body into conscious awareness for meaningful action in waking life. She integrates her prowess for sound with various healing modalities to support emotional, psychological, and spiritual unity. As an educator, Arlyn’s Integral Sound Training courses, designed through divine guidance and scientific study, empower others to tune into their calling with sound and frequency. Her studies in martial and internal arts, along with her current teacher training in White Tiger Qigong, further enrich her approach. Arlyn Ruddy's life and work are a symphony of healing, consciousness, and empowerment, echoing her belief that integration and healing are not just practices but a way of living – a path to liberation and ultimate wellness.

Reiki is one of the most accessible forms of energy healing available right now, which makes it all the more important to understand what it is and how it should be practiced. With the sea of scammers intruding all corners of the spiritual space, reiki is one of the more common ways that charlatans can take advantage of vulnerable people. Luckily, we have one of the best in the biz as a host for Clairannoyance!

Megan has been practicing and teaching reiki for a decade, certifying countless people over the years - including Ryan! - to become proficient in this healing modality. If you've been listening to Clairannoyance for a while, you know Megan will give a no-BS perspective of this topic. We cover the basics including the history of reiki and its foundational elements, plus we dive into plenty of more advanced and nuanced subjects as well. You'll leave the episode feeling like you have a much better understand of what reiki is, how it works, and what to look out for if you're interested in booking a reiki session with someone or pursuing certification yourself! 

Thanks to Martha for requesting this episode! If there's an episode you'd like to hear us chat about, please contact us via our website linked below.

We're continuing our monthly astrology series and looking at the astrology of October 2023. HOW ARE WE ALREADY IN OCTOBER???

The theme for this month is "At A Crossroads" - so we're breaking down the idea of "crossroads" in some really intricate ways, because it's a common theme in mythology and folklore across many cultures. October is basically like one giant crossroads moment. Where will you choose to go from here? 

We're not going to sugarcoat it: October has a lot going on. You might say it'll feel pretty "heated" because the "Via Combusta" (AKA the "fiery road") is getting activated by a ton of planetary alignments. We're telling you what the Via Combusta means and how it's being activated throughout the month. Between two eclipses (a New Moon Eclipse in Libra and a Full Moon Eclipse in Taurus), five (count them, five!) planets changing signs, and Pluto finally ending its long retrograde...there's a lot of cosmic action going on and we're ready to share it all with you.

How are you feeling about October? Are there any celestial events or astrological alignments that you're particularly eager to experience?

If you're hearing this episode, congratulations: you survived the alleged rapture that was supposed to happen on September 23, 2023. Which means you're here just in time to be present for the alleged catastrophe that will be caused by the Emergency Broadcast System coming up on October 4.

We're breaking down some hot new conspiracies making the rounds on the internet (TikTok). Plus, we discuss the "What About Me?!" epidemic taking society by storm. Also, the 'negative' stance too many people (cough cough Gen Z cough cough) are placing on the concept of healing.

The energy right now is wild. Everyone is dealing with false starts and fake endings. How are you holding up? 

This is the shortest episode description we'll ever make, but it perfectly encapsulates the energy right now. This isn't a deep dive episode, and it's not a Serendipity Session either. It's something else entirely, because the energy right now is scrambled eggs. You're welcome. 

How are YOU doing right now?

In this week's episode, we're breaking down the meaning of friendship. It might seem like a light and fluffy subject on the surface, but as with all of our topics, this subject manages to go much deeper than you might expect. 

We are social creatures. No matter how independent you think you might be, connectivity with others -- especially having quality friends -- is wildly important. Friendship is more than a quick fix for your desire to socialize. It's a necessary experience that's embedded within us as humans. The wrong friends can literally have a harmful impact on your DNA. But what about the right friends? What even is a good friend? How many friends can you feasibly have? How do you choose who's in you inner circle and who isn't? 

Quality friendships have impacts on our social, emotional and even physical health. In fact, your ability to survive a heart attack depends more on the quality of your friendships than smoking 20 cigarettes a day. Friendship is a special kind of connection that deserves your time and energy, but many of us simply don't know how to create or nurture those connections -- or how to break up with the friends who no longer fit in our lives.

In this installment of Serendipity Sessions, we’re talking about hurricanes. Not only the historic (and weirdly underwhelming) Hurricane Hilary that recently took Los Angeles by storm (no pun in tended), but also the feeling of a hurricane. The hurricanes we go through in life, the ways we become hurricanes ourselves, the beauty of getting swept up by something or someone, the purpose of feeling dispersed and scattered... And the need to let go of the damage that's been done so we can truly appreciate what we're left with in the end. 

Ryan is fresh off his own hurricane as he records this after a saucy & sleepless night. Megan, an East Coast hurricane veteran, is well rested and provides super relevant tips for surviving hurricanes (both real and metaphorical). 

P.S. PRETTY PLEASE RATE OUR PODCAST 5 STARS WHILE YOU'RE HERE :)  

About Serendipity Sessions:
We began Serendipity Sessions as a series in the Clairannoyance podcast so we could have real-time unscripted conversations. Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions. Each session is a unique encounter with chance as we defy routine and enjoy a spontaneous dance with spirituality. We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us.
