In this episode of Practical Shamanism, I dive into what might get in the way of fully living your soul purpose. Inspired by Julia Cameron's playful take on artistic blocks and insights from one of my own teachers, I explore some of the reasons we might feel disconnected from our path.

This includes:

• How we often stay loyal to outdated dreams or pre-incarnation plans, and why it's so powerful to pivot when something no longer feels right.
• The impact of stress, fatigue, and living in "fight or flight" mode on our intuition, making it harder to see possibilities and opportunities.
• The importance of living by our own "map" rather than following others' expectations or societal norms.
• How curating a life that supports our energy and creativity allows us to pursue our unique soul purpose more freely.

I believe that tuning into what’s true for us right now, and designing a life that resonates with our unique self, helps us overcome the obstacles to living a rich, purpose-driven life.

Join me next time as I continue to unpack what might be blocking your path to true fulfillment in the second half of this discussion.

In this podcast, I challenge a popular meme that suggests we should be grateful for the present because in 20 years, we'll wish we could return to where we are now. I strongly disagree with this notion. Those who listen to this type of podcast are actively investing in a future where they have greater physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Modern culture bombards us with toxic ideas that chip away at our peace and happiness. Learning to "weed the garden of your mind" is an essential skill, and the belief that everything will worsen with time is one of the most damaging weeds to pull. Join me as I share why this mindset is often untrue and offer reasons to feel hopeful and empowered about your future.

Some of the catch phrases like “I deserve” and “I have trouble knowing my worth” can take people further away from the experience they want to have rather than closer. They can turn us towards inner work that won’t produce the results were hoping and, worst case, can bolster a story that we’re entitled to things we’re truly not.

In this podcast, I explore some alternate perspectives that I believe will help have more success in having the things that are important to you. The notion of “win-win” or “no deal” is an important concept in all kinds of human relating. And being able to discern and implement that approach quickly and efficiently saves us a lot of time so that we can move towards people and situations that are available to meet us in a way that authentically works for us.

In past lives, we tended to place energetic bindings on the oaths and vows we swore.  These could be vows of marriage, chastity, or poverty.  In each case, there were energetic structures put in place to hold us to the vow.  Often those past life promises are disruptive to our contemporary experiences.  So, it’s wise to clear them and free ourselves.  In this podcast I teach more about how this works as well as ways you can be free of this energy- either with help or as a DIY project.

Sometimes people have the false belief that they need to resolve all the pain and trauma of the past before they can make functional choices in the present.  In this podcast, I talk about some focus points to help yourself make a very quick shift or change when a pattern urgently needs to change.  I hope to give you a better map for pathways to healing that don’t have to have a big time lag to getting to a place in your life that is functional and sustainable.  I invite everyone to be in a lifelong exploration of the relationship to themselves and to thrive in their lives in more and more elegant and fulfilling ways.  And, sometimes, triage is important to focus your efforts.

Healthy lifestyle changes can become a complicated and loaded topic.  The amount of information can be overwhelming and it’s easy to feel like what we’re doing is never enough.  In this episode I explore some new perspectives that may help you set your compass for an aligned lifestyle without shame or self-doubt.  I find that when we take care of our physical experience, our spiritual experience is profoundly enhanced.  Having an elegant approach to self-care frees us for the fullest possible experience.

If you’re hurt and angered by unsolicited criticism, you come by it honestly through human biology.  It activates our instincts.  In the modern world, we navigate so many intrusive opinions about how we live our lives coming from people who aren’t stakeholders in how we do life.

Having a well-thought-out personal policy about who is and isn’t invited to give advice, feedback, reflection, or criticism is useful in being able to navigate these situations effectively.  Then we can fast track soothing our instincts and coming back to center, rather than ruminating on triggered, distorted reflections from unqualified sources.  In our important relationships, it is vital to understand how we impact the other person directly, but we can still have boundaries about what opinions beyond their direct experience are invited.

When we raise our vibration (or make our energy brighter), we move through the world more easily.  It improves our direct, in the moment experience as well as helping to manifest things that support us and deflect things that do not.  There are many things we can do to raise our vibration.  Ideally, you want to create a personal list of things that have a high return on investment of results for energy expended.  These things ideally will also be highly accessible on an average Tuesday and be things that you enjoy doing.  I give a number of possible activities and experiences that might support this.
