Ep 229 | Hot Topic Alert: Dating and Relationships

Trusting your own intuition is often easier said than done—particularly when it comes to dating. It’s almost impossible to go about dating (or not dating) without being inundated by relationship advice that may or may not apply to you, no matter how well-intentioned. But, the very personal nature of determining what you really want out of dating or a relationship (if anything) just makes cutting through all the noise that much more important.

And think back to the last time you had a challenging moment with your significant other. Chances are, you don’t have to think too hard. Relationships can be tricky to navigate, and even your best friends can't always make things easier when you're struggling. Who do you go to to make sense of it all? And if you do ask family and friends – sometimes you can feel like you’re being bombarded by dating advice --- How do you figure out what to do, what you actually want (or don’t) from a relationship

Ep 227 | The New Moon in Gemini

The New Moon in Gemini occurs on June 17 and 18. We are in New Moon energies three days before and after. This New Moon is asking us to lead with our hearts. 

New Moons signify a time of change. When the sun and moon connect in the sky, we’ll become aware of the new reality and intentions we want to bring to life over the next 30 days.

Since it marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, we can manifest our desires by writing out intentions and Reiki'ng them or talking them out, journaling, making a vision board, or saying positive affirmations. As long as we fully and completely believe in our visions, the easier it’ll be to bring them to fruition in co-creation with the Universe for the highest good — especially with this particular New moon.  

The New Moon powerfully welcomes us into the Solstice Gateway energies! Dating back to the time of our ancient ancestors, the Solstice has long been a time for celebrating the passage of time and the cycle of the seasons. A time for embracing change, honoring what has been, and consciously welcoming what lies ahead.

We do this by becoming fully present in the NOW, so this New Moon in Gemini represents the beginning of a powerful new cycle. It's like a cosmic reset and an opportunity to begin anew.

Now is a powerful time for setting intentions and diving into the stillness within to expand our awareness, grow our soul awareness, and plant the seeds of bright new beginnings in our lives.

So claim this unique Solstice New Moon opportunity to empower yourself as an embodiment of love, compassion, and awareness.
It's time to activate Divine Love in your heart center and shine brighter.

New Moon Blessings!

Ep 225 | Mindful Walking Meditation

The natural ease of walking can be used as a direct and simple way to bring centeredness, groundedness, alignment and peace into our life. Walking becomes a meditation when we bring a careful and present attention to each step we take. Walking becomes a meditation when we feel ourselves fully here on the earth.

To learn walking meditation, select a place to walk back and forth at a leisurely rate, fifteen to thirty paces in length. Stand at the end of this “walking path.” Feel your feet on the floor, on the earth. Sense the environment around you. Be aware of yourself and your surroundings until you feel quiet and composed. Then begin to walk. Focus your attention on your body, feeling each step as you lift your foot and place it back on the earth. As you sense each step, return your foot to the earth with care.

Walk upright in a relaxed fashion. When you get to the end of your path, pause briefly and then turn around, Stand and center yourself then and be aware of the first step as you begin again. You can walk at whatever speed keeps you most present.

Walk with careful attention to each step for ten, fifteen or twenty minutes.

Usually when we walk we can be distracted by a hundred other things.

As you walk in meditation, try to let the thoughts and images that arise remain in the background. Even so, you will regularly get carried away by thoughts. When this happens, simply stop walking and be aware of the thoughts. Then quietly re-center yourself and take the next step. Keep coming back to your footsteps in this simple way. At times you may wish to do a period of walking meditation alone. On other days you might walk for ten or fifteen minutes before beginning a sitting meditation.

After some practice you can learn to use walking meditation to calm and collect yourself, to become truly present in your body. You can extend this walking period in informal ways, when you go shopping, when you walk down the street or to and from your car. You can learn to enjoy walking for its own sake instead of combining it with the usual planning and thinking. In this simple way you can move through life wakefully, with your whole body, heart and mind together in harmony.

Ep 222 | Mini Monthly Energy Forecast for June

Emotional clarity becomes more available this month as we assimilate the lessons of the recent eclipses and align ourselves with the next intuitive step. The theme of Intuitive Choices has everything to do with stepping into the power of trusting the heart instead of the head and allowing for our curiosity and what is choosing us to be the compass instead of a plan based on a rationalized set of responsibilities and expectations. There is an opportunity to settle into right timing and the magic of synchronicity and spontaneous events that feel emotionally aligned. In this energetically softer month we can begin to really feel what wants to support us and where we may be struggling, which then can offer us an opportunity to bring in clarity, allow for clearing dense energies and utilize intuition to support shifting to higher possibilities of manifesting with ease, grace and in abundance.  

I know that the last months for so many of us have involved a great deal of energy movement, psychological, emotional movement, and big literal events happening in our personal lives and also the outer world. 

Since the emotional center is a much faster processor than the intellectual center, we will feel into people and situations and either move away from or towards them before the mind has a chance to process the information. Trusting the intelligence of the heart is an important step if we are to reset ourselves on the path that is choosing us. You may not “know” intellectually why you are drawn to certain people, places or experiences, but if you trust that you do “know” intuitively, that is what is important. You may not be able to explain to someone why you making a particular choice, but if you are clear about it, that is all that matters.

During these past few weeks and even months, including the eclipse time, we have had the opportunity to work through much emotional content, some of it from old wounds, some of it from reactions connected to old patterns, some of it from issues of our own self-worth. It is important to acknowledge the emotional center as being an intelligent and neutral processor of information and not only a place to dramatically emote when triggered. It is also important to have a way to move the energy quickly when you do find yourself in that triggered emoting situation, as a clear and clean emotional center is key for allowing intuitive choices to be made and followed from a positive place.

As always, take the themes that resonate and that apply to you. Don't worry about the rest. 

*there is a few audio kinks in beginning but the rest is smooth sailing!

Ep 220 | Inspiring You Presents: Live and Learn: When Things Get Real

On this episode, Henri and Mike break their silence about some of the darker moments of being on set during the filming of the 2001 game show.

Ep 218 | "Why don’t I feel anything" – this is a common concern for so many – it can happen for a few reasons...

During an energy healing session, a person may experience hot or cold sensations, tingling, energy movement, lightness, heaviness being cleared, emotions rising or falling away, calming thoughts, sleepiness, or even nothing. If you are one of those that feel nothing, don't dismay. It doesn't mean the Reiki and/or Dowsing Energy Session didn't work!

It's common not to feel anything. There can be a number of reasons why you may not feel something. Tune in to hear more reasons.

Remember, everyone has different levels of sensitivity. Just because you didn't feel anything does not mean nothing is happening. Oftentimes, energetic healing can be subtle; yet it is working. And we integrate the work in different ways.

Universal energy that is channeled works on many planes, including physical and spiritual planes; it is not linear. Often times, what we want isn't what we need: Reiki Energy and Dowsing Energy Healing sessions can be directed to certain areas, but what you need may be what the universal life energy may be directed to. Check-in with yourself a week later, a month later, and you may be surprised at what you notice.

Energy healing can also be cumulative, so it can take multiple sessions for the energy to fully dissolve blocks that have been there for a while. Each session is specialized to each individual's needs, so each response during and after will be different.

I have clients that felt a lot in one session, and I have clients that had the "nothing" experience for several months, and then they started seeing colors, feeling lighter, and a variety of other pleasant sensations. Everyone is different!  Depending on much clearing is happening, then it may take longer for energy to settle in. Ideally, you want to give yourself a little space after a session to take time to let it integrate. Making sure to take this time to drink some water, stretch, walk, or nap if you feel called to. Often people notice that they feel better later on in the day or when they wake the next morning.

Ep 217 | Mindful Chat + Holding Compassion Space Mindful Reiki Grounding & Rooting Experience

What Does It Mean to Hold Space for Someone? It means to be there for someone, but how? What does it look like? If you aren’t sure exactly what it means, it is when someone can be present, accepting, open, and non-judgmental for another person as they may need it. Holding space for someone can mean different things for different people, but essentially it can mean taking the initiative, without any prompting, to hold a sacred space of compassion for another person’s situation or circumstance. Holding space for someone means that you offer them the opportunity to be seen and heard fully.

If you are feeling ungrounded and in need of some support to become rooted once more and to feel heard, seen, and/or held in compassion, tune in for Holding Compassion Space Mindful Reiki Grounding & Rooting Experience

Ep 215 | Short Mindfulness Body Scan

Why it's worth trying:

Experts have found evidence to suggest meditation can promote physical and emotional wellness in multiple ways, such as: 

How to get started:

You can think of a body scan as a mental X-ray slowly traveling across your body.

Beginner Tips:

If a body scan or meditation doesn’t seem to do much for you the first time, try not to get discouraged. It can take some time to get used to meditation, and that’s completely ok.

Make it a habit

You may notice some improvement immediately. Yet many people don’t notice any benefits the first few times they try it. But experts suggest it’s still worth meditating regularly, even if you dislike meditating.

Consistent meditation can lead to positive changes in your brain, including:

If it helps, you can think of meditation as an exercise for your brain. Maybe you don’t feel like working up a sweat all the time, especially if you’ve already had a rough day. But once you get going, your workout generally becomes easier, right? So, give it a try! Press play and tune in!
