Going to school is one of the defining features of our young lives. Each year represents a lot of 'new': New schedules, new friends, new experiences, new teachers.  Although going to school is fun and exciting, the change in schedule and experience can be a lot to handle. So too is the sheer volume of energy that they experience each day as they go to this special place. This would be a lot for many of us. It is *especially* the case for young people, who tend to be 'more' energy aware and in tune than their adult counterparts.

As we know, along with school so too can come some unexpected things like tummy aches, headaches, surprise behaviour changes that seem to come from out of thin air, and frequent calls to 'get picked up'.

Sound familiar?

This podcast is a special focus of the energy at school and how to support the energy sensitive or energy aware learner in our lives.

School is a high volume energy place where the 'goer' in our life comes into a cacaphony of energy. In the first segment, I talk about some of the things the young person in your life might be coming into contact with at school. In the second, we focus on how to identify if they are feeling energy exhaustion or showing signs of having 'something to process' rumbling around in their field. In the third segment, I talk about ways that you can start supporting happy and energy balanced school life by working with simple metaphysical practices. As I say in this podcast, there is a difference between being 'energy sensitive' and 'energy aware'. In the former case, we feel trapped whereas in the latter we are empowered.

Energy has a powerful impact on reality

Though it may seem unrelated, being exposed to 'too much' energy and not knowing how to properly filter it can lead to a host of issues ranging from migraines to lashouts to feeling sad all the time for 'no reason'. Once we 'pick up' energy, unless we do something to release it, we 'live it' as part of our act of processing it. This can get especially confusing for energy aware and energy sensitive young people and the families who love them. One of the reasons I passionately step forward with this topic today is that this confusion and possible long-term energetic overwhelm can lead to real world negative impacts like family fights, feeling negative about oneself, tuning into the 'bad stuff', and dis-ease. All of this for something that we can very easily fix with a few techniques and routines.

ENJOY THIS!!!

Busy people of the podcast world: this one goes out to you! Being busy but also knowing that finding more self-care and energy management time is a #1 concern that people have. We know that taking 'time for us' to 'take care of us' is important, yet we lead full lives. With children, businesses, school, sports, and all the great things we do, it can be tough to fit a little 'me' time in. (It can sometimes seem unnecessary when we are living our dreams.)

As many busy people can tell you, there comes a time in many of our lives when being 'booked up' leads us to a point where we feel bogged down. We start getting lethargic. In my own case, I wound up experiencing migraines and extreme IBS. This leads to burnout, falling out of love with our lives, and eventually, turning to podcasts like this to help ourselves figure out how to fix it. This rock bottom is totally avoidable. If you have not reached one yet: good job! Taking steps to manage your energy will keep you from having that experience. If you are there or have been there, you know exactly what I mean. 

This is something that is very common. Even people who are living their dream can get energetically exhausted. If this is you, do not feel ashamed of yourself. You are not alone. You can heal. Energy management, once you take into the factors that I talk about in this podcast like what we carry with us from one meeting to the next, or when we get back home, it becomes rather easy to take care of.

In this podcast, I share some of my best energy management strategies for 'busy people'. I promise, you will not hear me tell you to take a day off. Rather, in this installment, I talk about the importance of finding ways to work within what you do have.

1) Identifying what you require to feel nurtured, nourished, and loved 

2) Working with bookends 

3) Creating an oasis of peace (and using it)

and *4* which is throughout) Finding high impact moments where you are able to layer the things that work for you.

As I share throughout, one of the key concepts for energy management, in particular for energy sensitive 'busy' people, is to find things that work with your schedule and responsibilities. Keeping an ongoing flow or regular self-connection and alignment moments for self-healing is something that helps us stay our best. In each of the segments, I suggest how to do that.

August is a turning point in our cosmic story. This astrology report celebrates it. Tune int to hear a) where we came from b) why it is significant and c) how to work with the alignments this month to harness the fresh energy to improve your life.

This astrology report is 'long' because it features a 'recap' in segment two, that brings us through the harder harmonic alignments and healing process we experienced during December through March 2022 (as well as before). Moving from Saturn Square Uranus (2020-2021), then through the Mars, Pluto, and Saturn conjunctions, we have faced the strangest things.  In July, we saw the 'dissolve' start coming in full play. That meant in the world but also, internally. Big waves of healing were initiated and will continue to be.

 In August, we see that wave of healing grow stronger and more powerful. These are moments where those seeking clarity will find it. These are moments were those seeking Universal love within themselves will connect to it. This is a month of deep healing and awareness that will prepare us to launch ever higher in September. All that happens is related to what came before, yet more clear. This is exciting.

We, the human beings of planet Earth, are at a graduation moment where all of our work is starting to ground in this reality. This is a moment of celebration. This is about freedom. This is about freewill. This is about our souls getting to be in more pure connection with us as beings AND the Universe.

As we move through the dissolve, it felt appropriate to speak about a trend that I will happily see end: spiritual manipulation. It happens in groups, with teachers and through ets. If you have ever experienced it, do not be ashamed. There is a relatively large group of us who have.

In this short instalment, I discuss some of the key signs that spiritual manipulation is present. More importantly? I talk about ways that you can work to heal yourself and walk away from it. Recognizing it is the first part. Working on your energy to purify and release any connection is the next step.  There are little discernment suggestions with each point that I address. I suggest that you ask them to yourself and really hear your answer. If you suspect that you were or are being negatively impacted, listen through the final segment for suggestions on what to do. Beginning to immediately cut energy ties, moving into repair mode, and taking stock of the valuable lessons we learn when this happens are powerful things to do. Though it can take a while to release the influence of these beings, it is highly possible. Once we realize these things happen and that these people are 'out there', we know to look out for them. They become a thing of the past.

Energy body autonomy and getting into that highest harmonic, autonomous, self-connected flow is a favourite topic around here. There will be more, soon. Are you a spotify premium member? Check out 'Calling New Energy into Your Path'. It is a little something I recorded a few days that will help with that.

Late December 2021 into mid 2022 has been an especially poignant phase for initiations and experiences that are in the harder harmonic of a Pluto experience. Beginning on solstice, punctuated with a volcanic ring, a node switch, conjunctions with Mars, Venus, and Mercury, Pluto has led us on quite the journey into the depths. Depths of ourselves, our societies, and in my case, the Universe. (I talked about all of that in pt.1: Pluto Planetary Power 2022 – Crow Medicine: Spirituality for the 21st Century (crow-medicine.com). As we move toward July 20 and Pluto at opposition, I come with good news. We are at a moment of birth.

Do you feel that freshness and like something good is finally here? You are not crazy. It really is. This podcast celebrates it!

In this podcast, I cover over a little bit about the grounding of all of this. What has that meant in real life terms? That many of us have encountered questions about our rights, autonomy, and freedom. The big stuff. We got to see where we (and others) sit. Most importantly, in that visibility, we got to sift. We saw things. We had experiences that may have felt quite sad and 'dark'. If you felt like that was a lot, it was. Big picture, this helps us prepare for seeing, doing, and expressing things in a more clear and pure harmonic.

We are moving forward and the harmonic shift IS in effect. Well done everyone. We made it through ALL OF THAT.

Ever wonder why I disappeared from the public? In this one, you get the story. Short answer: for ceremony and specifically, what I talk about in here.

What is an energy shift?  In a personal sense, an energy shift is a change in the way that your body holds, relates to, or hums vibrationally. Here are five signs you may be having them AND three of the main reasons why they happen.

5 Signs a Rapid Energy Shift is Happening

1) You feel tired and sluggish with a ‘cozy’ undertone. The couch is your best friend. You can rest for several days, like a cozy bear in a den.

2) You feel things moving in your body in places and ways that you are not used to. This includes above your head, beneath your feet, in your stomach, or in your chest area. This could be a knocking, tapping, feeling like a tingling or a tickle, :  This is often accompanied by ‘the sweats’ or ‘being very cold all of a sudden’.

3) You feel like your brain has turned to mush. *This is not ‘all day’ or all the time. Rather, just for ‘periods’ of a day, or if going through a major transformation, perhaps a two-day period.*

4) You are ‘wide awake’ in the middle of the night. Particularly around 3-5 am.

5) You are experiencing a montage of memories.

Why do these happen?

Because this is a podcast, we keep the discussion to three main points:

1) Natural changes as a result of what the planet is doing. The sun and solar energy; rapid shifts in barometric pressure; thunderstorms; these are all capable of creating change in the charge of the particles in our environment and bodies. One of the things that I was most inspired by early on in my journey was realizing how much I ‘felt’ major earthquakes and solar flares.

2) Getting physically healthy and taking care of your physical body.  This creates space for your soul (which is an actual alive part of you) to be more happily present on this Earth. When you take care of your body, it feels good to be in it. Sounds simple but those trips to the gym or choice to do more smoothies can create major impacts.

3) Because of your spiritual activities and choices you have made and active work you are doing on yourself and your energy body. When you make choices to raise your vibration, heal soul wounds, integrate your soul and body relationship, participate in self-actualization activities, or call forth a new pathway, it works. Especially if you sail through your personal choice points and initiations when they come to you.

What Does This Mean?

In short, that there is something in your energy body, physical body, or soul experience that is being ‘tickled’ or touched by frequency that is making it ripple. This creates space for more integrated soul body expression, soul healing, sensory expansion and being able to ‘hear’ your environment better with your senses, being more ‘in tune’ with the Universe or Earth. This is a sign that you are improving your vibration, energetic integration, and that new parts are sparking (or parts that are ‘old’ are being sparked anew’). In the case of point 1, it means you are tuned into cosmic frequency. That is pretty neat. Parts 2 and 3 it demonstrates you are doing a great job with your personal path to improvement. Keep it up.

USA is having its Pluto Return. That means that we are in the process of revisiting the energetic and foundational underpinnings of the creation of this country that we call home. As a person who takes care of the land here, I talk about some of the lessons that I have learned as we have moved through first Saturn Square Uranus and then into the Pluto Return, this year. This is part of the journey we are on together, friends. Tune in and hear my little part of the story.

Key highlights in this conversation is the unique position we are in right now, as we heal our Mars in Aries energy thread collectively throughout the USA. Yes, we are seeing problems. This is what is supposed to be happening. As we see them, it is our job to hold the light. Some of the stories that I tell in relation to what we are healing are in relation to the creation of USA that brought with it heavy warfare that marked the land. So too was there a dislocation of caretakers of the land that had lived on it for 10,000 or so odd years prior. The land here, at times, has spoken to me about its unhappiness as a result of that treatment. I share these stories, today. 

The third segment of the podcast is a little food for thought on what we can do as part of holding the light here, in USA. This is a powerful and lively land that we get to call home. We also get to the be the ones to usher it through these changes. Tough job, but we are ready. Part of it is bringing awareness, self- discipline, and focus to each day.

Welcome to the Great Dissolve. July is a month where we go in deep on emotional integration. Kicking things off with a parade of planets (happening from solstice through the end of June), we move into July with a Cancer New Moon. Have you been feeling deep and stagnant energy coming to the forefront to be moved out of your field? That, my friends, is a sign that you are experiencing the release of the outdated archetypes of energy and/or are also benefitting from this natural phase of healing that our solar system has brought us to. This is exciting, albeit intense.

Mars and the Aries archetype take center stage, all month. A strong dissolving of the old archetype of Aries energy and its imprint on the Marsian archetype ‘chord’ that was struck is ongoing. You may feel it.  We have been doing this all year along with the Uranus lunar occultations in Aries. It will continue happening. The pocket between June 21 and July 22 is especially powerful for healing these wounds within. The double lunar occultation of Mars and Uranus (one happening each month) is a powerful bookend. This is something that is akin to an energetic gift to humanity. Admittedly, as I type this my brain feels like it is falling out. This is what a dissolve is. Empty the mind and join in on the ride. 

Excitingly, we are bringing in a new phase of planetary experiences and relations. This is a story that takes center stage, once again this month.

The strength of emotion and the potential of healing and lunar connection this month is strong. The moon is the parade leader, gently bringing us through each planet. 

Healing, when it is this deep, can be uncomfortable. Give yourself lots of time outdoors and in peace to experience and move through the energy. Come back for more on that in future podcasts! (Or head to this article about processing: The Power of Processing and Its Importance to Our Well-Being – Crow Medicine: Spirituality for the 21st Century (crow-medicine.com).

Join me, under this tree, for a solstice ceremony. The theme? Celebrating your sacred connections, with a special nod to Planet Earth. Fusing nature sounds, crystalline core connection, and belief that you are all part of this, the goal of this journey is to honour life here on the planet.

Celebrating the Cycle of the Seasons 

Celebrating the cycle of the seasons is an honoured tradition. This June, we get back to basics. This ceremony is all about focusing on our sacred connection to Earth. In it, we re-new and re-commit to ourselves.  We say thank you to the planet and allow ourselves to be amazed at how excellent it really is to be here. 

The Ceremony

Format: In this 36-minute journey, I guide participants through a self-actualization activity that is all about sparking, acknowledging, and celebrating their sacred connections. Blending nature sounds and inspirational music, it begins with a breathing and energy alignment exercise (where you harmonize to earth and yourself). We move together to sit under a tree, where we tune further into our sacred connection with the planet. As we sit under this tree, I lead you through an inspirational self-connection journey. The ceremony concludes with affirmations for self-actualization and suggestions on how to bring the energy you are building here in this ceremony into your season.

Suggestion: *There is a section of thanksgiving and celebration in the ceremony. You may like to think about specific planetary thankyous for earth, as well as the other planets who have been supporting, guiding, and teaching you this season. This is part of forming that ‘high harmonic’ relationship I always speak about. Crystal friends, animals, sacred implements. Bring em all in. This is part of what makes it fun and unique.
