Mystic Monday 9/28 | POST FULL MOON IN ARIES ENERGY UPDATE + A Shamanic Ritual to Release What's Ready to Go 🔥

🎥 Watch the full video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-hAvPFkJeM&t=161s 

We just had a powerful Full Moon in Aries, the sign of the self. In this episode, I walk you through what full moons actually stir up in your unconscious mind, and guide you through a shamanic fire ceremony to release what this moon illuminated and step into a new version of yourself.

Full moons bring clarity and revelation to your unconscious mind, the dark sky within you where your emotions, memories, and old programming live. Aries, the sign of the self, makes this one deeply personal. Something in you was illuminated this week, a truth, a pain, an old belief ready to be seen.

In this episode I teach a shamanic alchemy ritual called the death arrow ceremony, a practice I learned from my teacher Alberto Villoldo, to help you release what came up and step into your next chapter. Ritual upgrades your biology. This is practical mysticism, not just talk.

If you have ever felt:

~ Like this full moon stirred something up and you don't know what to do with it

~ Ready to release an old identity, belief, or story that no longer fits who you're becoming

~ Called to ritual and ceremony, but unsure how to actually do one

~ Like you keep circling the same emotional pattern and are ready to finally let it go

~ Curious about shamanic practices for healing and transformation

This episode is for you.

In this teaching we explore:

~ What full moons actually do in your unconscious mind, and why Aries makes this one so personal

~ A shamanic belief burning ceremony, a fire ritual to release a wound, emotion, or old story

~ Why ritual upgrades your biology and moves you into a new level of self

~ Why Pluto's aspect to this moon is supporting deep spiritual alchemy right now

~ A grounding practice to feel your emotions in your body instead of just thinking about them

~ A peek at what's coming: I'm now studying Kabbalah in a Master of Divinity program, so stay tuned for teachings on Jewish mysticism, the Tree of Life, and the union of masculine and feminine

REFLECTION AND PRACTICE FOR THE WEEK

Ask yourself: what came to light for you around this full moon? What truth surfaced, what pain got stirred, what needs to be seen?

Download the free shamanic death arrow ritual below and do the ceremony this week. Write down what you're ready to release, then let it go, in fire, in water, in your own words. https://wingedalchemy.myflodesk.com/shamanic-fire-ceremony 

Then move your body. Aries rules the body: shake, dance, cry, sweat. Let your emotions move through you, not just around you.

Hi love, welcome back to the Spiritually Empowered Podcast! This week is a conversation on sovereignty, setting boundaries, trusting God's plan, and healing from people-pleasing and disordered eating, with my dear friend Karen Rios, founder of Sacred Ballet Body and a graduate of my Sovereign Soul mentorship.

We talk about what it means to walk in your spiritual power, and what it costs you when you don't. We talk about the difference between surrendering to God and losing yourself to people-pleasing, and how to hear the truth in your body when the world is pointing you somewhere else.

Karen also opens up about a battle with disordered eating that began at age 10, and the moment at 19 that changed everything. If you've ever bent yourself smaller to belong, said yes when your body was screaming no, or wondered how to trust a calling you can't fully see yet… this is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

~What it means to walk in your spiritual power, and what chaos looks like when you're out of alignment with it

~Why sovereignty isn't about control, it's about knowing your truth even when everyone around you is pointing the other way

~The difference between surrendering to God and losing yourself to people-pleasing

~Karen's journey through disordered eating in the competitive ballet world, and the moment that turned her life around at 19

~How obsession, whether with a body, a relationship, or a substance, can quietly become a false god

~The inner child work that helped Karen finally fall in love with who she is

~How Sovereign Soul helped Karen learn to draw boundaries without losing her gentleness

~Why you don't need the whole plan, just the courage to plant the seed and take one step

~What it looks like to build a purpose-driven business, Sacred Ballet Body, by getting out of your own way

~Navigating an interfaith friendship with mutual respect, even when you land on different paths to God Thank you so much for pressing play today!

RECLAIM CONFIDENCE & POWER: A Shamanic Energy Healing Practice for Women | ✨Mystic Monday 9/21

🎥 Watch the full video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvYqlnJlB3s&t=445s 

Learn why the instruction to transcend your ego was built for a masculine nervous system, not most women's, why your power lives in your womb and your root and not in the upper chakras you may already live in, and receive a full guided shamanic grounding meditation to bring you home to your body.

This week I want to talk about why so many spiritual teachings tell us to transcend the ego, rise up, elevate the kundalini, get beyond the self, and why that instruction was never built for most women's energy. Most women are already living in the upper chakras of psychic attunement, empathy, and oneness. Telling that woman to transcend further doesn't free her, it disembodies her. Her path to power isn't up and out. It's down, into the root, into the womb, into the body, into Mother Earth herself.

If you have ever felt:

~ Like you have deep spiritual awareness and empathy, but no idea how to hold a boundary or stay rooted in your body

~ Like every teacher tells you to transcend your ego, rise higher, dissolve the self, and it leaves you scattered instead of powerful

~ Like you have gone so far into spiritual or psychic realms that you lost your sense of who you actually are

~ Confused why spirituality and religion center a Father God in the sky but rarely honor the sacred feminine, the body, or the earth

~ Chaotic or ungrounded, like your energy is shooting out in every direction instead of staying contained in you

~ Ready to reclaim your energy, your boundaries, and your body as sacred

This episode is for you.

In this teaching we explore:

~ Why the chakra system and most spiritual teachings are built around a masculine, root centered path, transcendence, rising up the spine, and why that is not a universal instruction for women

~ The difference between the masculine path to power, moving up and out of the body, and the feminine path to power, spiraling down into the womb, the root, and the earth

~ Why embracing the ego, not transcending it, is often the more empowering path for women, and why having a strong container and a separate self is not the opposite of spirituality

~ A full guided shamanic energy healing practice from the high Andes of Peru to call your energy back to you, root down into Mother Earth, and reset your nervous system out of fight or flight

~ Why the planet has overemphasized the transcendent Father God while suppressing the grounded, embodied Holy Mother, and what it means to reclaim both

~ How to use verbal commands, like "I call all of my energy back to me now" and "I belong here," to consciously rebuild your energetic boundaries

REFLECTION AND PRACTICE FOR THE WEEK

This week, notice where your energy goes when you feel stressed, overwhelmed, or overgiving. Does it shoot upward and outward, or does it stay rooted in your body?

Practice the grounding meditation from this episode, even for two minutes a day. Place one hand on your womb and one on your heart, breathe your energy down through your base, and say out loud, "I call all of my energy back to me now."

Notice one place this week where you are more identified with transcending, being agreeable, being "spiritual," than you are with simply being present in your body. Choose one moment to stay grounded instead of floating up and out.

Say out loud, "I belong here." Let your own ears hear it. Notice what shifts in your body.

Why Breaking Free From Your Family's Patterns Is the Path to Your Calling | Mystic Monday

🎥 Watch the full video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkrTuOnwaXI 

Learn why your purpose cannot fully emerge until you individuate from your family's patterns, how to tell the difference between honoring your family and losing yourself in them, and why the wound you are most afraid to feel is usually pointing straight at your calling.

I recorded this one outside instead of my office, crows calling overhead the whole time, and it felt like exactly the right setting for this message. This week I want to talk about why your purpose keeps knocking, the idea, the calling, the level of mastery you know is yours, and you still cannot fully step into it. The block is rarely the calling itself. It is how entangled you still are with the family patterns you were raised in. Before you can live your purpose, you have to become a separate self from the bloodline that shaped you, even when that bloodline loves you well.

If you have ever felt:

~ Like your purpose keeps knocking, an idea, a calling, a level of mastery, and you still cannot fully step into it

~ Like you have an amazing, supportive family and still cannot fully be yourself around them

~ Guilty for wanting a life, a path, or a calling that looks nothing like the one you were raised in

~ Like protecting your parents' image has become more important than telling yourself the truth

~ Confused about why you keep choosing partners who repeat the same parental wound

~ Ready to stop waiting for permission and finally answer what keeps calling you

This episode is for you.

In this teaching we explore:

~ Why your purpose cannot fully emerge until you individuate, becoming a separate self from the family that raised you, before you were ever conscious enough to choose it

~ From birth to age seven, your unconscious mind absorbs the frequency of your family before you ever have the discernment to question it, and how that imprint quietly runs your adult life

~ The difference between belonging TO your family and belonging WITH your family, and why one keeps you repeating their stories while the other frees you to live your own

~ Why an abundant, loving family can make it harder to answer your calling, not easier, when there is no obvious wound pushing you to leave

~ How to be grateful for your parents and honest about where they failed you in the same breath, without it becoming betrayal

~ How to spot when you are projecting an unmet parental need onto your romantic partner, and my own story of doing exactly that

~ What the Gnostic gospels and the concept of gnosis, knowing through direct experience rather than being told what to believe, have to do with trusting your own calling

REFLECTION AND PRACTICE FOR THE WEEK

This week, name what keeps knocking. The idea, the calling, the dream you keep almost answering. Write it down plainly. Then, journal on what stands between you and it.

Not "my parents did their best," but the exact places they fell short. Your unconscious mind needs specificity to feel grounded, it does not respond to vague answers.

Ask what you are willing to carry forward from your bloodline, it is not only curses, it is gifts too, and what you are ready to leave behind. Wherever you notice yourself protecting a parent instead of telling the truth, or projecting an old unmet need onto your partner, stop analyzing it and let yourself actually feel it. What you avoid feeling holds power over your purpose.

THE BAPTISM I COULDN'T SAY YES TO | Religious Trauma, Spiritual Sovereignty, and the Gnostic Gospels

🎥 Watch the full video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuJ4qXl64aw 

This week feels different. I'm bringing you a personal share about my struggle with organized religion and why, even as an ordained interfaith reverend, I still haven't been baptized the way the church wants me to be. If you have ever felt like you don't quite belong in the institutional religious spaces you were raised in, this one is for you.

If you have ever felt:

~ Raised in a fear based version of your faith, taught that hell and damnation are waiting for you

~ Like your body says no to a belief system everyone around you accepts as truth

~ Hunted by dark energy, nightly attacks, or spiritual trauma you had no mentor to explain

~ Like an outsider in your own family or community because you see and feel what others don't

~ Called to the hidden, esoteric teachings that were left out of your religion's official story

~ Ready to stop outsourcing your spiritual authority to institutions and reclaim it as your own This episode is for you.

This episode is for you.

In this teaching we explore:

~ Why I believe every path, organized religion and the New Age community both, carries its own shadow and light

~ The fear based Christianity I was raised in and why I could never accept a God who damns you for not obeying

~ What I've learned from the Gnostic Gospels and the true teachings of Christ before they were canonized and politicized in the 4th century

~ The story of Thecla, the woman in the Gnostic texts who refused the patriarchy and baptized herself

~ Why I'm now feeling called to baptize myself and travel to the sacred sites of Mary Magdalene

~ The message I heard from God about why my spiritual trauma was allowed to happen, and what it grew in me

~ Why you can only know your power once you've known powerlessness, and why contrast is the nature of this planet

~ My free training on how to dispel and revoke dark energy the way Christ did

REFLECTION AND PRACTICE FOR THE WEEK

This week I'm leaving the practice to you. Sit with this question in your bones: what is your training right now? Are you learning to walk away from something that no longer fits? Are you learning to set a boundary, to trust yourself, to let yourself receive more? Whatever it is, let it move through you instead of pushing it away. Drop it in the comments. I read every one and I want to know what you're being trained in right now.

Mystic Monday 8/31 | The One Skill You Need To Receive More Love, Money, and Abundance

Learn why feeling your emotions, not just raising your vibration, is the real skill behind manifestation, how to tell the difference between fear and intuition, and why the path to more love, money, and abundance is down into your body, not up into ascension.

This week I want to share the skill I almost forgot along the way: learning to actually feel what I'm feeling instead of thinking my way out of it. If you keep praying for more love, more money, more visibility, more creativity, and it keeps almost arriving but somehow slips away, this episode is for you. I'm going to share why that keeps happening, and what "more" actually requires of you.

🎥 Watch the full video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylItogtnQ_M&t=62s 

If you have ever felt:

~ Like you keep almost manifesting the love, money, or opportunity you've prayed for, and it slips away right before it lands

~ Exhausted from chasing the next version of yourself instead of just being present in this one

~ Unsure whether that loud, panicked voice in your head is your fear or your intuition

~ Stuck attracting the same disappointing relationships, financial ceilings, or self-sabotaging patterns

~ Like you numb out with food, scrolling, or old habits instead of actually feeling what's there

~ Ready to stop outsourcing your power and finally come home to your own body

This episode is for you.

In this teaching we explore:

~ Why receiving more love, money, abundance, and creativity all require the same skill: your capacity to feel

~ The difference between climbing higher through endless ascension and dropping down into your body, and why chasing "the next version" of yourself can become its own addiction

~ How to tell the difference between the loud, frantic voice of fear and the quiet voice of true intuition

~ Why the emotions you avoid, like failure, loss, or the weight of responsibility, are the exact emotions holding power over your destiny

~ The old way of manifesting through hunting, forcing, and willing versus the ancient way of magnetizing through aligned action

~ What the shamanic concept of the hollow bone teaches about getting out of your own way

~ My own story of repelling committed love because I unconsciously feared losing myself, and how I became conscious of the pattern

~ Why one aligned action is worth more than a year of gripping, controlling effort

~ What the Gospel of Mary Magdalene teaches about the savior living within you, not outside of you

~ The practice of dropping from your mind into your body and feeling your emotions without a story

REFLECTION AND PRACTICE FOR THE WEEK

This week, instead of numbing, scrolling, or reaching for food when a strong emotion rises, set a timer and drop your awareness down into your body.

Feel gravity. Let your hips settle toward the earth. Notice the difference between the loud, frantic voice of fear and the quieter voice of intuition underneath it.

Choose one thing your soul has been asking you to do, the post, the date, the interview, the leap, and let yourself feel the fear of it instead of avoiding it. Do it anyway.

Whatever you have been avoiding feeling, failure, loss, responsibility, let it move through you this week instead of pushing it away. What you avoid holds power over you.

Mystic Monday 8/24 | Do You Feel Lost? 3 Simple Practices to Align With a New Reality

Learn why the heaviness you're feeling right now is not a sign something is wrong, how to surrender the specific outcome so your destiny can find you, and the tantric secret to feeling real pleasure without tipping into excess.

This week I'm bringing you a collective reading for exactly where so many of us are right now, in between realities. If your dream feels stuck, if the pieces you thought would fall into place aren't falling, and if you're questioning everything you thought you wanted, this episode is for you. You are not lost. You are in the cocoon, and this is what real transformation actually feels like.

🎥 Watch the full video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvsDfj1pU6g 

If you are feeling:

~ Heavy, anxious, or stressed even though you're doing all your healing work

~ Like your big vision is stalling and you're starting to doubt it will ever happen

~ Unsure who you are anymore as old identities, relationships, or dreams stop fitting

~ Tempted to give up right before your breakthrough

~ Confused about why the job, the partner, or the plan you were chasing keeps disappointing you

~ Ready to stop white knuckling your way through transformation and actually trust the process

This episode is for you.

In this teaching we explore:

~ Why the void and the in between are sacred feminine shamanic territory, not a sign you're broken

~ The caterpillar and the cocoon as a map for identity level spiritual awakening

~ Why questioning your reality means you're being pushed through a birth canal into your next level

~ The exact prayer to pray when you're ready to be moved, molded, and changed at the level of who you are

~ Why destiny has a hand reaching back through time to pull you forward, a teaching from my shamanic mentor Alberto Villoldo

~ My personal story of chasing the wrong partner archetype and what I learned when I finally let it go

~ Why God's provision often looks like God's removal, and how to trust the doors that close

~ The difference between chasing a specific outcome and embodying the quality underneath it

~ The tantric hummingbird medicine technique for increasing joy, beauty, and pleasure in the mundane moments

~ Why true pleasure has to feel good before, during, and after, especially if you're healing from addiction or excess

REFLECTION AND PRACTICE FOR THE WEEK

This week, let go of needing the pieces to fall exactly where you planned. Notice one thing you've been chasing, a partner, a job, a title, and ask what quality underneath it you're actually reaching for.

Give the specific outcome to your higher power and embody the quality instead.

Choose one moment today to turn up the volume on joy. Light the candle. Wear the lipstick. Take the extra step toward beauty and pleasure, not to escape, but to remember who you're becoming.

If you're in the void this week, let it be sacred instead of scary. You are not lost. You are in the cocoon, and you're almost through.

Mystic Monday | The Dangers of "Love and Light" Spiritual Teachings

This week I'm calling out something that's been sitting with me for a while: the "love and light only" teachers who say none of this is real, pain is an illusion, and evil doesn't exist. I'm sharing my shamanic take on duality, why staying in oneness without embodying it can actually create spiritual psychosis, and why the most spiritual thing I've ever done was decide to be human.

Learn why bypassing pain, evil, and your body in the name of love and light can lead to spiritual psychosis, why matter and your humanity are sacred rather than something to escape, and why integration, not oneness alone, is the real goal of awakening.

🎥 Watch the full video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiZS8cj2qRo 

If you have ever felt:

~ Like you have to choose between transcending this world and actually living in it

~ Confused by teachers who say pain, evil, or your body aren't real

~ Called to wake up spiritually but unsure how to live it in your actual daily life

~ Like matter, money, or your humanity are somehow less spiritual than the upper realms

~ Overwhelmed by the darkness on the planet and unsure how to hold it without bypassing it

~ Ready to bring your awakening down out of your head and into your real life

This episode is for you.

In this teaching we explore:

~ Why staying in oneness without embodying it in duality is what actually creates spiritual psychosis

~ Why pain, matter, and your body are not illusions, and why "matter doesn't matter" is a dangerous teaching

~ The Shekinah and Holy Spirit, the feminine principle of God dwelling inside matter, right here in your dishes and your daily life

~ Why evil is real in duality, what it actually is (cinching off from Source and feeding on others), and why nobody is too far gone to come back

~ Why saying "I am God" is spiritual ego, and what it means instead to be a fractal of the divine

~ Why integration, not escape, is the real goal: bringing awakened consciousness into your dishes, your relationships, and your ordinary human life

REFLECTION AND PRACTICE FOR THE WEEK

This week, notice where you've been using spirituality to bypass your humanity, your body, your pain, or the evil on this planet. Where have you been reaching for oneness to avoid duality instead of integrating the two?

In your ordinary moments this week, driving, making breakfast, getting triggered, take a breath and bring your awakened consciousness down into that moment instead of floating above it.

And when things get heavy, let yourself laugh like the Buddha: not from ignorance of the darkness, but from having made peace with it.

If you want to go deeper, read the Gnostic gospel Thunder Perfect Mind this week. It's a poem, it was purposefully left out of the canonized Bible, and it seals everything in this episode together.

Mystic Monday | Why Empaths and Spiritual Souls Struggle With Addiction and Codependency

This week I want to share something I have personally resisted for years. If you keep asking your oracle cards and your angels what's next, who your soulmate is, or what your next career move should be, and you're not hearing the answer, this episode is for you. I'm going to share why that is, and what your real task is when the answers stop coming.

🎥 Watch the full video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQpZDdb0zio 

If you have ever felt:

~ Like no amount of likes, love, weed, food, or shopping ever actually fills you up

~ So blended with a partner or substance that losing them felt like losing yourself 

~ Crushed under the weight of duality and the pain surfacing in the world right now

~ Hungry for something you can't quite name, an ache at the center of your soul

~ Like you're living in reaction instead of response, waiting for the world to tell you who you are

~ Ready to stop feeding the craving and start feeding your soul

This episode is for you.

In this teaching we explore:

~ The real definition of codependency: making someone or something else your source when God is meant to be your source

~ The "hole in the soul" I've witnessed in a decade of addiction work, and why sensitive, spiritual people are the most hungry for it

~ Tanha, the Buddhist concept of craving, and why the fire only gets bigger the more you feed it

~ My own story of a 7 year pot addiction and toxic codependency, and how I healed both

~ The lost feminine gospel of Mary Magdalene, and the buried teaching that there is no sin

~ The gift of desperation from the 12 steps, and why real surrender comes right after peak pain

REFLECTION AND PRACTICE FOR THE WEEK

This week, notice where you're grasping. Where are you trying to fill an ache with a like, a substance, a relationship, a purchase? That craving is real, but it's pointing you somewhere. Instead of feeding the craving, feed the hole.

Try this prayer: God, I pray that you fill the hole in my soul. I pray that you come into my heart and fill me up. I want my validation and my love to come from you, not the world. I am coded to be filled by you, and I open myself to receive it.

If you're in a season of peak pain, let it be the gift of desperation. That letting go, that surrender, is often exactly where the real healing begins.

Hi love! Welcome back to the Spiritually Empowered Podcast! This podcast is for mystics, seekers, empaths, healers, and highly sensitive souls who are here to wake up spiritually, heal deeply, and embody their sacred purpose on this planet.

Mystic Monday | How to Unlock Your Next Level (The Answer Isn’t in Your Oracle Cards)

This week I want to share something I have personally resisted for years. If you keep asking your oracle cards and your angels what's next, who your soulmate is, or what your next career move should be, and you're not hearing the answer, this episode is for you. I'm going to share why that is, and what your real task is when the answers stop coming.

🎥 Watch the full video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ssdwRwvJSo 

If you have ever felt:

~ Exhausted from asking the same spiritual questions over and over without real answers 

~ Like structure and routine would mean losing your freedom or your intuition

~ Stuck repeating the same family patterns, relationships, or self-sabotaging cycles

~ Disconnected from your body, living by mood instead of devotion

~ Called toward something bigger but unsure how to actually get there

~ Ready to stop using spirituality as an escape and start embodying it in your everyday life

This episode is for you.

In this teaching we explore:

~ Why asking "who am I meant to become to hold more" changes everything, instead of asking "what's next"

~ The difference between spiritual bypassing and true embodiment, and why Zen Buddhism teaches that awakening happens while doing the dishes

~ My own story of addiction, awakening, and the God wink I received in a Kroger parking lot

~ Why prayer without works is dead, and how your daily behavior either matches or betrays your soul's wisdom

~ What spiritual psychosis really means, and why waking up without changing your behavior creates inner chaos

~ The sacred marriage between masculine structure and feminine flow, and why both are required for real transformation

~ Why devotion to my own daily protocol, not just oracle cards and rituals, became my greatest spiritual practice

~ Hummingbird medicine and shamanism, and what they teach us about answering the call without abandoning yourself

~ Why Carl Jung said there is no coming to consciousness without pain, and what that pain is actually asking of you

~ How to bring beauty, pleasure, and sweetness into your discipline instead of forcing your way through it

REFLECTION AND PRACTICE FOR THE WEEK

This week, instead of asking what's next for me, ask who am I meant to become to hold more. Let your daily life, not just your spiritual practices, be the answer.

Notice where you have been living by mood instead of devotion. Where has a lack of structure kept you from becoming who you are actually here to be.

Choose one small daily practice you have been resisting, and commit to it this week no matter how you feel. Let that follow through be your spiritual practice. If pain has been present for you lately, let it be a messenger instead of an enemy. Pain means move.
