Let’s talk about the year of the snake and the archetype of shedding. Themes of collaboration are coming up for the Chinese New Year, and it becomes important not only to be honest with ourselves with our own needs but to be lucidly clear with what we can expect and exchange in our various relationships. We also cover plenty of learnings with regards to relating to crystals: choosing quality over quantity, caring for our mineral companions, and allowing crystals to teach you when they emit certain qualities of alchemy, or even when they bend or break.

If you’re keen to learn about the astrology of 2025 from a Lunar/Chinese New year perspective and would love to learn about MadebyKCA and crystals in general then this is the episode for you!

Note: this episode is mostly in tagalog / taglish

Covers:

• about the brand, childhood resonance with crystals
• baby pink & rose quartz, grays
• crystals and earth energy as memory, psychometry
• good energy in good exchange, “swerte ba ako?”
• transformation, shedding, collaborations, discernment
• convenient lang ba yan?, group think?
• good connection: is there respect or love/attachment? 
• knowing yourself, different kinds of friends, circles
• wood, yin, candle; not losing yourself

• birthstones per month, the use of spacers, why? as an anchor

78 Domestic Magick & New Year Purging

WELCOME TO THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE NEW YEAR! Fresh from our little break we have a very conveniently timed episode: How to purge (the different ways of it), and How magick and wisdom is so available our everyday environment. Let me hang out with y’all as you reset for the new year, and how we so easily miss the present and blooming wisdom that can be right in front of our eyes. For a lot us, we can relegate spirit in only! specific places/practices that seem more “spiritual/holy”, not realizing the things that remind us of ourselves, and our very human sense of mastery is a sliver of grace that helps us access spirit! love! truth! Your personal frequency is available to you, you are It. If there’s anything to declutter, it is that which is the largest, looming and you know-it-already thing that you’ve ignored and put off that you’ve known for a long time would serve you really really well. 

It’s the start of the year! Season’s greetings! We speak and weave the same lessons in varying harmonies so enjoy. 

PS: Yes this is a better audio quality than usual you’re correct 

episode link in bio! 

Covers:

• intro
• fengshui! a brief taster of the energies of the next year
• elemental masteries in different veins: eg seasonal colds
• know One thing deeply and well, know the All; How you do one thing is how you do everything
• the downplay of domestic wisdom, and the natural intelligence of life
• the downplay of aesthetics as a body of wisdom, femininity and weaponization?
• organic natural posture, satisfying!!! energy
• ensouling materials!, the household path and being integrated to your day to day life
• do you feel centered and at home in yourself?
• appreciation and acknowledgement, snaked sheds still as itself

By the end of the year we usually take stock of the past, and meet maybe (with some disappointment and frustration!) the gap between our previous new year’s intentions, goals, and maybe our own personal expectations. The energy of innocence, hope, youth, dreams, vigour is something that will always co-exist and lie in contrast with the energy of salt, mud, wisened protection, aged bitterness, the rubber meeting the road. 

Maybe what’s stopping us from a real fresh start, or fresh feeling with life, is the closet of old dreams, deflated, when the wind, “was knocked right out of us” and just the nuanced history of hard things happening to us and around us, and our conscious self doing it’s best to “catch up” with ourselves and where we’re really at, alongside the truths in the dreams of where we want to be. 

This podcast ep covers an exercise that reviews not only gratitude of the past year, but the underlying more secret disappointments we have had, and considering if there are underlying patterns and themes of desire, wisdom, worldly truths that hold a larger realization, truth and meeting of where you really are right at this moment. This transcendent ‘knowing’ is tempered by the acceptance of the heart, but also acknowledging the true callings/desire of the will (A mind-heart-will resonance so to speak). 

Episode actually has ASMR-like quiet times for when we journal/write alongside each other. Hope this serves you well .

For reference for folks following along

Step 1 

Write 10 disappointments/failures/things from the past year/the past in general

• What did you want from it really?
• What actually happened? What truth was revealed from your exploration?

Step 2

Notice patterns from your list, are they usually around a certain theme? Is there an underlying real need from defeated dreams? Is there a pattern of lesson from the realizations? Which numbers feel like they’re more “loaded”/more baggage?

• Don’t math it, listen to the ache/notice rather than solve

Step 3

Walk it out: what is the core truth of where you are at? the base of the tree? Shadow and light, rubber and road: digesting a transcendent and integrated truth: will (desires, dualities) heart (acceptance) and mind/soul (+transcendence). How do you feel? How to support this?

For our second outdoor episode! hang out with Maria and Charm Aradia (@charmaradia the practitioner behind @kandeladia), and some park cats as we talk about Charm’s wisdom journey, and some basic invocation techniques. Charm has a lineage of closed practice, so what is disclosed is a curious peek into a muddy, elemental and rooted practice that is not only local but is also respectful of the sensual and the transitions of ash/death. Very hilarious park-events-bonus-only-done-in-live recordings happen and I can assure you that if you want a very easeful talk, that speaks frankly but also directly about the mystical experience (especially with intention candles!) then this is a must listen for you.

Covers: 

• intro, beginnings in candle making
• beginnings of kandeladia
• intentions of sharing her practice, not a business
• taboo practice while also always having been like this
• clairs reopening, managing “turning off”
• choosing to transmit light, but being fully in the mud (rocknroll vs cozycats)
• sex is important! 
• setting intentions, abundance candle misunderstood?
• basic candle magick, energy exchange, boundaries, contracts
• ancestral lineages and final words

A long overdue episode! Maria takes everyone on a tour of books, lineages and wisdom bodies that are good foundational starting points for spiritual practice. We cover the major categories of: Personal Development, Psyche Adjacent, Spiritual, Podcasts and Special Mentions to present a wide base of development that is most appropriate and integrative for every person/soul. Maria basically does a really good synthesis of each lineage mentioned, and “contraindications” of why something may not “work” for a certain person in their specific path. Wisdom is something that is very difficult to steal from you and has a very prescient form in one’s energy, if you need something to gift to loved ones (including yourself) consider this a holiday list.

In this episode of Integrated Awakenings we have a Philippine functional mushroom pioneer Jilly Lovegood talking to us about her relationship with nourishment, and trusting synchronicities to manifest access to wild, ethically sourced, and the heart aligned business that she has today. She walks us through her unique experiences of sharing a lot of food wisdom during the height of the pandemic, as well as some more familiar experiences around Ayahausca, dream downloads and discerning the integration and call to spirit. Jillian has a steadying patience and quiet willingness to show up for what would be “muddy” work, that might be just the assurance you need during chaotic times. If you’ve been curious what spiritually makes, mushrooms that bloom earth violet — then this is the episode for you. 

Episode is in taglish :)

• big business transition to shopee

Come hang with Maria and Lilay habang pinaguusapan ang mga bagay tungkol sa pagagawa ng sining tungkol sa ating mga puki, pagtatahi, at ang simpleng kapasidad ng pakikineg sa mga istorya. I personally feel really expanded by this conversation, as a very real practice of pakikinig at pagpapakilala sa sarili, at pagsasabuhay ng mga intention mo sa paglilikha at paghahabi kasama ng mundo. We talk more about her previous and current works, and trade stories on how we came about accepting our creative natures. If you’re up for company sa may sunken garden with surprise puppy (and kitty!) visits, then this is the episode for you.

• papaano natagpo ni lilay ang theme ng puki
• menstruation! papaano tayo sinocialize about our puki
• “bakit walang mga lalaki sa feminist theory na pa workshop?”
• on Stories
• themeless-ness, being a platform
• when did lilay start wanting to ask questions? listen to stories?
• working with textile, meditative processes

Hot off the press we’ve got a very important solo-cast with Maria: talking about Life Transitions and the cycles of time. A lot of folks have a lot of tangled up grief and emotions around transitions: from being a child to a teenager, to what does adulthood even mea? what and where are the elders supposed to look like, why even bother looking forward to aging? The thing is most of these life cycles, are paradoxically, not going to change! They are an eternal constant, visible in the iching, the tarot, the way seeds are planted, grown, fruit and are replanted again. To think in terms of rhythms and cycles is also to be attuned to the natural breath of the universe, no matter what society, situation or problem you may have. If anything it’s what’s always been there so why not we have a listen?

This episode doesn’t have much of an outline but key terms are:

• maiden, mother, crone (triple goddess archetype)
• initiations and rites of passage
• archetypal seasons
• what counts as “adult” now?
• anachronisms
•

In this new solocast on Integrated Awakenings, we have Maria walking us through a new way of thinking about the energetic body. Instead of thinking of chakras specifically or thinking of auric layers, we talk about the major systems that make up and fuel our energetic body, referenced and synthesizing multiple energetic body systems. We talk about major considerations with: natal energy, land/ecosystem energy, relationship energy, the “pregnant” energy of projects and intentions. If you are someone involved in bodywork or simply want to have an integrative and energetic view of what “feeds” your system, then this podcast is sure to be some food for thought.

Yes po 201 is a joke kasi di po ito 101 mej advance pero also basic AHAHA : > 

Covers:

• Intro into why this topic(?) (!)
• Overview of: natal, land, relational, intention based energies
• Natal energy and the initial catalyst of historical trauma
• Land energy and akma/appropriate ecosystems for certain kinds of makeup. Body alive, plugged and compatible
• Relational energy, transcendent versions and how we make “room” in our bodies for folks’ energies
• Energies from major projects and intentions, how we temporarily make room, nest cocoon, and shift energies for them 
• General notes on being able to increase the bandwidth of energetic receptivity, not being attached to the “high” of a catalyst/transformation, radical honesty to what is stressing/changing in your system

Have you ever felt a violence possess you and felt overwhelmed, bad, unacceptable? let’s Unpack that. In this juicily thorough episode we have Vicky Marquez, a great thinker and friend to walk us through why is it really that we feel uncomfortable about power, justice, gender, oppression and all manners of Systemic Violences, and what it has to do with both our personal and collective healing. We touch topics both personal and collective, around neurodivergence upto violence portrayed/normalized in genre/gendered media and arrive at such vast viewpoints with how to consider feeling so viciously violent.💥

As usual, we weave healing themes around spiritual lineages, philippine context and catholicism and just very accessible skill-issue pa-“tool-kit” that helps anyone re-orient and even become a splendid ally to any feelings that have extra teeth. 

Episode is in taglish

Covers: 

• intro, defining terms~ violence for babies
• trauma reactions, fight / flight / freeze, absorbing violence
• integrating one’s throne; why is it “lower vibration?”, martial disciplines

• as a traumatized, colonized country, specific language

• nice dobbermans, how comfy are we with bickering and debates?
• castrated outlets, numbness, how many fucks do you talaga?
• belated defense of younger versions of you somatically
• defense as an expression of love, argument as an act of faith and love, modelling
• how: radical ally of yourself, allow yourself to believe and love ang inaawayan mo
• allowing folks to be angry for you and at you in a healthy way, curiosity & wisdom
