From my heart to your screen,

Katie

This episode is all about self-love! Not the self-love that includes massaging our breasts with coconut oil and reminding ourselves that we're a goddess (although we love this daily ritual). Instead, we're opening our hearts and deepening our understanding of self-love through conversation and integration.

In this episode you'll hear:

~ How we become adept at wiggling away from ourselves, the present moment and our bodies

~ What is 'the spot'?

~ How we become aware of the way we squirm away from 'the spot'

~ Ways to return to ourselves and be with what is actually there in the moment

From my heart to your screen,

Katie

Join Katie and her dear mentor and friend Cristal Mortensen for a conversation about manifestation. Manifestation is both what we do and are, so by opening more deeply to our true selves, we can experience more of what we want in life. Learn why the common approaches to thinking and feeling your way to manifestation don't work for most people, and what to do instead.

Cristal leads us through a powerful guided practice that you can use to begin manifesting today!

In this episode you'll hear:

~ What is manifestation?

~ How our heart is the bridge between reality and limitless possibility

~ You are manifesting right now and all the time

~ How to honor the universal struggle of dissatisfaction, "not enough," and inner poverty

~ The spontaneous arising of what we want vs. "forcing it"

~ Feeling difficult emotions without being swallowed by them

~ How desire and not having are two sides of the same coin

~ Why we don't need to avoid negative thoughts and feelings to manifest

~ Why Katie calls herself a "recovering manifester"

~ How to liberate and loosen our perception of ourselves and the world

~ Experiencing the process of becoming (unmanifest to manifest)

~ How to manifest from feminine energy

~ The importance of the energetic, etheric realm in manifesting

~ Getting in touch with our deeper desires and questions

~ A guided practice to begin manifesting today!

~ Join us inside The Shakti School for Cristal's 8-week course, Energy 101. Learn how to work with your body's energy to heal, vitalize and awaken to spirit! Moreover, this course will provide the framework for working with your own energy and bringing these techniques into your own healing arts practice while working with others.

From my heart to your screen,

Katie

For the past four years, I have had the incredible good fortune to work very closely with a one-on-one mentor and therapist named Cristal Mortensen. And today, I am so honored to share this podcast with you where I interview her. In it, we discuss what she calls "the healing climate," and why, without it, our efforts to heal ourselves and to hold space for others may work against our deepest desire. This podcast touches deep into the essence of my personal inner practice, as well as the ethos we are working each day to do our best to uphold within what we teach at The Shakti School.

In this episode you'll hear:

~ What the healing climate is and how it can help us

~ Resistance and how finding 'the spot' within ourselves can be supportive of healing

~ The importance of compassion and gentleness toward ourselves

~ Letting awareness be the light that shines through our uncomfortable feelings, rather than changing them

~ Our unique resources within and how we may be able to better access them

~ How these techniques can impact manifestation intentions

~ Noticing how we experience ourselves energetically and the way it can bring self-compassion

~ Being in relationship with energy

~ Join Katie and The Shakti School for the Embodied Ayurveda + Mystical Mind live in-person and virtual retreat May 6th and 7th. Live spaces are filling up fast, so register now to get in! Payment plan options available.

~ Cristal Mortensen is a trauma and nervous system specialist and Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, in private practice for over 20 years. She helps people heal and clear unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, balance energetic, emotional and mental disequilibriums, find their way back to themselves and discover their wholeness. Her multidimensional approach to trauma healing developed out of her own journey of healing, which began when she learned yoga and meditation at the age of 16 and henceforth dedicated her life to the path of healing. She has healed from debilitating complex PTSD, severe anxiety and depression, addiction, disordered eating, chronic pain and physical illness and has dedicated her life to supporting others in healing from the pain of trauma and finding freedom.

Cristal's ability to deftly weave between and integrate the realms of the mind, emotion, physical body, subtle body, energy and spirit and bridge ordinary and non ordinary reality, along with her compassionate presence has made her unique work highly sought after.

She has practiced and studied extensively over the past 30 years with masters in the fields of trauma, attachment, somatics, meditation, breath, movement and energy healing, bringing the balance of ancient wisdom and modern science to her work. She has developed Multidimensional Trauma Healing and Sacred Attachment work, out of the need for an approach to trauma healing that is truly effective and transformative. Her work builds access to an organizing matrix from which inherent safety, security and an integrated mind and body can develop, creating a new template from which we can heal and our life can evolve. Her mission is to be a guiding light for those suffering from trauma. She believes passionately that the seeds of healing and transformation are within each of us, waiting to be discovered and activated. You can connect with her at awarealignedawake.com
