Welcome to the 100th episode of Ignite Your Spark!  I'm thrilled to have you all hear, thank you for listening.

Today's episode features Scientist, and Human Potential Coach Holly Copeland. Holly began her career as a conservation scientist. She pivoted when she became so disheartened by the state of the planet that she decided she could make a bigger difference by working with people. She began by delving into neuro science, our brain and the meditative state. She realized that helping people would ultimately help the planet and she took a deep dive into healing the chaos that lurks within all of us.

Holly is a Human Potential coach, neuromeditation teacher, sound healer and Reiki Master. We talk about different scientific tools which can assist us in our own healing.  She shares how she first used a headband tool called The Muse which enabled her to see her brain waves while meditation. She also gives us the whys and hows of using Tuning Forks to assist us in releasing stored trauma around our body. It's that Quantum Field that some of my other guests have spoken about. How everything is energy and our energetic field that surrounds us contains all the traumas we have suffered. Tuning forks help release that trauma.

We talk a lot about the thinking mind and how vital it is to live from a "being" state.
Holly leads us through a powerful meditation that helps us tune into that state.

Thank you again for listening, and please rate, subscribe and share if you are enjoying inspiration through Ignite Your Spark.

It's season 3 here at Ignite Your Spark and my first guest is Elen Sentier, a bestselling author, witch, shaman and psychotherapist. Yes, she has a lot of wisdom to share. As a 3 Dimensional Wild Coach, she utilizes all of her years of knowledge to assist others in finding and unleashing the parts of themselves that they have hidden away. 

In our conversation, this quirky wilderness woman (her words) we talk about the energy encapsulated in all things. Elen encourages us to respect everything, from a pen to a chair. All things were made from the earth at one point and respecting and caring for our "things" is the right way to be in the world.

Elen comes from a very long lineage of witches, shamans, wilders - and she shares how she is "one who knows". We discuss the difference between using our thinking mind and our intuitive mind - guess which is more important?

Elen tells us about Soul Retrieval and how important it is to find the missing parts of ourselves in order to be fully whole.

She is shining her light, igniting sparks and I know you will be inspired!

Shine on!

Why on earth would you want to roar like a Goddess?  You would only if you want to be the best and most enlightened and awakened version of yourself - that's why!
 
My guest today is Acharya Shunya who embodies all the different aspects of the Goddess Shakti. She is the first female head of her 2,000-year-old Indian spiritual lineage, Shunya reinterprets and recontextualizes ancient teachings for modern times, empowering people everywhere to lead fearless, fulfilled and enlightened lives.

Shunya  is the author of three bestselling books Ayurveda lifestyle Wisdom (2017), Sovereign Self (2020) and her newest book i  Roar Like a Goddess:Every Woman's Guide to Becoming Unapologetically Powerful, Prosperous, and Peaceful. In this book, Acharya Shunya honors her progressive Vedic roots while breaking the shackles of tradition to bring modern-day women, an inclusive, feminist spirituality. 

We talk about why Shunya wrote her book, and my favorite quote is "...so that nobody ever forgets to roar with joy".  Our beliefs and hope are so similar in that we want everyone to awaken to the spark within. Shunya gives amazing examples in our podcast and answers questions about the Vedas, our Dharma and how anyone can access their inner Goddess.

Shunya stresses how important it is to give priority to your own dharma, to care for yourself so you can care for others, accomplish what you are meant to and live your best life. She stresses that it is never too late to become who you were meant to be.

We also  talk about the four parts of Shakti and what they represent. When we embody all of these pieces we will roar like a goddess.

Maybe you've heard other spiritual podcasts or teachers speaking about ascension.  What is it you may be wondering or how do I get there?  Today my guest Ellyn Katherine Shamalov tells us what it is and how we can get to a place of infinite joy, happiness and fulfillment of our soul destiny.

Her modality is a new one to me, she works with people utilizing The Quantum Enlightenment System. This is a system she was divinely guided to create and present to assist us in raising our vibrations, remembering our true essence in order to help us release emotional burdens that are holding us back.

Ellyn's system uses the wisdom of the ancient Hebrew language to access our own divine blueprint.  Through working with this blueprint, Ellyn helps us unearth our challenges, talents and mission on earth at this time.

She tells us that the body is like a computer, holding all the files from our past ancestors, our DNA and all that we have lived in this lifetime and in lifetimes past. 

I love presenting new ideas that I have never heard of. Ellyn gives us something to think about with her method of uplifting the vibration of humanity as we reach towards expanding global consciousness.

IGNITE YOUR SPARK with an adventurer extraordinaire – Renee Linell.

Let’s talk about getting out of your comfort zone, shall we?  Does that spark fear in you when I say that?  For most people it does, but not for today’s guest on Ignite Your Spark. Renee Linnell is a former surf model, professional Argentine Tango dancer, a serial entrepreneur, world traveler and author. She traveled to over 50 countries before she was 35, and not just travelled. She lived, adventured and had more harrowing experiences than most of us will have in a lifetime.

 All of that and she is a cult survivor! Renee shares how important it is to be present and fully aware of where we are in life. She learned to navigate life by stepping out of her comfort zone at an early age. Her father died when she was 15, she lived with an alcoholic mother and left home at 17 to begin her life of adventure.

Renee shares such great advice on how to get the most out of life with being present, appreciating all that we have, being grateful and she does all this by stepping WAY out of her comfort zone. She is open and honest, raw and vulnerable and we talk a bit about some of the stories in her second book, “Still on Fire”, The stories seem like fiction, but they are all true and she is truly a “bad ass”.  

Please share, subscribe and rate the podcast if you are enjoying it. THANK YOU.

Have you ever had a 911 from your soul?  You know one of those wake up calls that you can't ignore?  My guest today has written a book called 911 FROM YOUR SOUL., that will assist you as you move through the emergency to your divine self.

It’s all about the transformation for me as I have often said and I absolutely love, admire and am so grateful for those humans who are truly in the world making a difference and working to create change one person at a time. This is what Jeanine is doing.

Jeanine was a successful Fortune 50 Executive, former clinical Psychotherapist, holds an MSW in Social work, volunteers in the hospice arena and is now working as a Transformational Coach.

Her own 911 from her soul, was a wake up call to explore the Spiritual side of life. She knew something was missing in her so-called “perfect” life.  Doing a deep dive into herself and exploring Reiki, Yoga and connecting mind body and soul brought her to the concepts she shares. All brought her home to her soul.  She learned that only through the inward journey could she live a life with meaning.

My most favorite takeaway from our conversation is how important it is to fall in love with life again. Jeanine shares that our breath and focusing on it is falling in love with life consciously. There are so many ways to fall in love with life and she shares more of them in our conversation.

Jeanine also talks about how we traverse life in wonder suits, our earth body and we need to move through life as a human but also as our highest divine expression. She shares that we have unlimited possibilities in front of us and that we are connected to the universe where everything you want to know is completely possible. We talk a great deal about this and how simple it is to do so. Jeanine also talks about divine consciousness which she refers to as a holly reassembly with her 911,  This can be a fundamental radical reshaping of who you want yourself to be - in order to find yourself as more than a human being in our  human wonder suit. 

If you aren't in a crisis,  you might find it interesting to implement some of the practices we discuss in order to prevent the big asteroid from hitting you in the head!

 I know that Jeanine’s light will inspire and motivate you to SHINE ON!

Laurie Wright is successful in all areas of her life - NOW. She left her corporate job, where she was last seen as a VP at AOL, and has since created a top rated podcast and a coaching business working with women in their "second" act, to help them discover their purpose and passion and bring a spark back into their lives.

She is now a certified Master NeuroCoach, trained in a brain-based, science-backed method which she uses to help clients remove blocks in their brain that are holding them back and replace them with new neuro pathways that will make their goals easier and faster to achieve.

At 55 she found her own purpose - as a coach - and it lit her soul on fire. You know I love any spark reference.  She is also a successful and loved Grandma, and she is definitely not your average grandma as her brand indicates.

In our conversation we talk about how she helps women uncover their authentic self and how to know if you aren't living your authentic self.  Her mission is to help as many women as possible get unstuck and create the life they were meant to live.  She does this through one on one coaching and her school which is called "The Second Half S.P.A.R.K School".

She tells us about one of her students with a remarkable story and journey.

She is truly a gifted communicator and will get your spark going.

Shine on and thanks for tuning in. Don't forget to rate, subscribe and comment if you are enjoying the Podcast.

Today’s guest is Hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational Therapist Christina Woods. Hypnotherapy is something all of us can use to access parts of ourselves that cause us self-doubt or trouble sleeping, anxiety or self esteem issues and even physical ailments.  Christina works with anyone who has blocks that prevent them from doing something in their lives. She has even worked with lawyers who can’t pass the bar exam.  I ask all the questions about hypnotherapy that you will want to know. Can everyone be hypnotized? Yes, she hasn’t met anyone yet who can’t be.  Will we remember our session? Yes, you are not unconscious.  Stephanie works with your subconscious and it is amazing what that part of us remembers.

Christina works with each client to create new thoughts and new patterns around the issues each person may have. And, I know how this works because I had a session with Christina after our podcast. Truly remarkable. She sends you a 15 minute recording she puts together to assist you in creating new beliefs around your blocks. She then follows up with you for a month to see how that subconscious reprograming is going.

Our mind will do anything we tell it to! It’s a fascinating topic and we talk about how much faster this therapy is in uncovering root causes, more so than traditional talk therapy.

And don’t worry, you won’t be hypnotized by listening, or maybe you will!

Shine on!

So you think you know what living your life on purpose means?  Right? Or maybe you wonder how you can transform your life into one that you choose on purpose. That is the question we go into in this episode of Ignite your Spark with Amy Wong.

I am a transformational junkie and Amy has devoted herself to the study and practice of transformation. She is a certified executive coach with an MS in transpersonal psychology, a BA  in Mathematics from UC Berkeley and she has studied design thinking, interpersonal neurobiology and conversational intelligence. Whew!. She has also provided thousands of transformational experiences to individuals, executives and teams working with the big tech companies like Facebook, LinkedIn, Roku and more. Amy is the author of the book, LIVING ON PURPOSE, Five Deliberate Choices to Realize Fulfillment and Joy. In her book she outlines simple processes with science to back up her findings as  a roadmap to help us on a journey to really and truly thrive.

In our conversation we talk about the self imposed limitations we all have, what exactly living a life on purpose is - her definition - Living on purpose is being in the drivers seat of our own life,  choice is everything . Choice is our true superpower. Making those choices from a place of wisdom will best serve us.

So many great nuggets, how we shouldn't resist our blahness, accept it, observe it, figure out why we feel the way we do and then shift our focus. Amy encourages us to figure out the relationship you have with yourself. As that is the most important step in living a life on purpose.

If you listen to this podcast you are probably familiar with Channeling. And if you aren't, then this is the episode for you. My guest Stephanie Banks is a conscious channel and is both a vessel to receive messages as well as a guide to provide depth and context for the information coming through. Unlike other channelers I have spoken with, Stephanie's genius is channeling living souls. Yes, that's right. She can channel the soul of your mother, father, child, brother etc. 

This is particularly powerful if you have someone in your life who might be suffering from dementia or have a child or relative who is non verbal - on the autism spectrum. Or anyone with who you wish a clearer and more communicative relationship.

In this episode we discuss how anyone can channel and anyone can find a way to utilize their intuition in order to do so. Channeling to her is connecting to divine energy, spirit, angels, God, the universe.

After this episode you will definitely be surprised at how easy it is to learn to channel, through Stephanie of course.

Thanks for listening and let me know your thoughts through Instagram, email of Facebook.

Shine on,

Kim
