She discusses the importance of community, especially for those living a spiritual lifestyle, and emphasizes the need for regular practice in developing intuition and deeper connection with cards.

Cara;s Free Customer Facebook Group

In this podcast, I discuss Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), its potential misapplications, and some personal and client experiences. I highlight why certain generic scripts and diluted forms of EFT may not work, stressing the importance of getting to the core issue and being specific in applying EFT. 

Notably, I share my successful use of EFT in cases related to trauma recovery, domestic violence, pain reduction, performance issues, and fear-related concerns. I also cover the re-launch of my Facebook group for cutomers aimed at creating a community exploring primal and mystical spirituality and a host of related topics.

Today's episode is a channelled piece from The Ancients with their theme of June. The invitation is to listen to the piece Rose June and resonate with the transmission so that you can embody more the quality of Self Love and Self Compassion

It's particularly for those of us who:

• resonate with the Rose frequency of the Magdelene line
• see Earth as Source and Source as omnipresent
• want to learn how to cherish ourselves
• want to know the difference between ego desires and hearts desires

The peace is beautiful and powerful in the way you would expect an undemanding yet magnetic frequency of the heart field to be.

Attune yourself to the power of the heart for, first, your own life and then for those of us that desire it, for the unifying of our cultural collective.

In June, let us be touched by the Rose energy of Love.

In this podcast I share some personal details of my past trauma, how it impacted my life and what I did to navigate my own healing.

Included is:

• Why do some of us seem to cope with stress more easily than others?
• The true source of issues such as procrastination, too many ideas and no follow through, depression, self-criticism etc
• How I healed my hourly panic attacks, severe agoraphobia and OCD tendencies
• How one stressor can become the straw that broke the camel's back
• Why some people seem to bounce back after a shocking life event and others go on to develop illness, anxiety etc.
• How trauma healing is now going to be showing up as part of my work
• The three things we need for our evolution
• How my channeling, earth energies and communication from the non physical dovetail with healing trauma
