      • Walk-Ins and Channeling with Marilyn Harper

        In this episode of Happily Holistic, Amy speaks with healer and channel Marilyn Harper. Marilyn is a Reiki Master, Karuna Master, Quantum Touch practitioner, certified intuitive consultant, and has developed her own method of healing she calls Holographic Healing. After experiencing a “walk-in phenomenon,” she began channeling a being from the 17th dimension called Adironnda, and now delivers channeled wisdom from this benevolent being to thousands of people worldwide.

        Amy and Marilyn discuss the following:

        • Marilyn’s spiritual awakening, began with a walk-in phenomenon – when one’s current soul leaves his/her body and is replaced by another soul (in Marilyn’s case that of her future, more evolved self).
        • Adironnda, which she describes as a spokes-being from the 17th dimension on behalf of the Council of Ascended Masters (those who have lived on this planet) and some Archangels.
        • Adironnda’s primary message -- to be the love that you are – and their intention that each person they encounter know what it feels like to be held in unconditional love.
        • Marilyn’s offerings, include 1) monthly Double Digits channeling (and a related book, Double Digitology, on how to decode the messages of the universe through numerology), 2) a five-part course called Holographic Healing, and 3) a course on how to channel called Channelers Academy.
        • Marilyn leaves listeners with a gift: a 21-day meditation program that can be accessed at healingholographically.com.

        • Remembering Who and What You Truly Are Through Yoga Nidra With Tracee Stanley

Tracee is a former model and filmmaker and has been teaching and practicing yoga for 20 years.

          Amy and Tracee discuss:

          • The practice of Yoga nidra, or “the yoga of deep sleep,” which is often described as sleep with a slight trace of awareness, or “conscious sleep”

          • The essence of Yoga nidra: withdrawing all of your external awareness and allowing yourself to remember who and what you truly are
          • The feeling of essentially being reborn after Yoga nidra because we have fully surrendered and received

          • Divine Feminine Energy in the Business World with Christine Arylo

            In this episode of Happily Holistic, Amy speaks with prolific author, transformational leadership advisor, teacher, and speaker Christine Arylo. Christine has an MBA and 20 years of corporate and entrepreneurial experience at GAP, VISA, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and PepsiCo.

            Her new book, Overwhelmed and Over It, was inspired by what she refers to as her "superwoman sob moment," in which she felt that no matter how hard she worked at her new calling to be a transformational speaker, it wasn't enough to make the impact or money she needed. It was then that she realized she needed to incorporate the feminine, which has informed her work ever since.

            Today, Christine talks to female leaders in all sectors, focusing on women in business.

            Amy and Christine discuss:

            • Distorted masculine power and how to be in our divine masculine and divine feminine power versus distorted power
            • How we should not try to assimilate into a system that does not have wellness and wholeness at its core
            • Daily practices for staying out of burnout and overwhelm
            • Christine's podcast: Feminine Power Time, discuss these topics and practices in depth.

            • Modern Day Priestesshood with Julie Parker

              In this episode of Happily Holistic, Amy speaks with Julie Parker, Founder of The Beautiful You Coaching Academy and author of Priestess, a spiritual guide and companion meant to inspire readers to explore what it means to be a modern spiritual leader and priestess in today's world.

              As a modern-day priestess, Julie brings forth her lineage of spiritual service through her priestess podcast, sacred priestess circles, and priestess temple school.

              In the modern context, being a priestess can translate to being a healer, teacher, mother, coach, guide, sacred circle facilitator, plant medicine expert, and many other leadership roles in life, work, business, or community.

              As Julie explains, a priestess is a sacred spiritual leader who deeply holds space for others – often other women – to help them explore their divinity, spirituality, and awakening.

              Julie and Amy also talk about:

              • How priestesshood is returning to our spiritual birthright that was buried and pushed underground through patriarchy
              • How it's important for any modern priestess to be in the right relationship to mother earth
              • For those on the path of priestesshood, give yourself time and space to be in a deeper relationship with yourself
