• Meditation, intuition, and expanded consciousness
• Starseeds, soul purpose, and multidimensional awareness

The first full moon of fall, the Harvest Moon, invites us to pause at the seasonal threshold. It is a time to honor what has grown, release old habits and patterns that no longer fit, and find balance between our own needs and the connections that sustain us. It also asks us to notice where we are standing in the gap between who we have been and who we are becoming.
In this episode, Terri Ann Heiman welcomes Dane Laverty for a heartfelt conversation about Reiki as a way to shapeshift through this seasonal transition. They explore how this practice of universal life-force energy can support grounding, self-trust, creativity, and connection while helping us move toward greater clarity and alignment. Dane shares how his curiosity about Reiki grew into a daily practice and inspired him to create the American Reiki Association, a community designed to help U.S.-based practitioners connect, gain visibility, and build thriving practices.
Together, Terri Ann and Dane explore the many expressions of Reiki, the value of self-practice, and why community matters—especially for practitioners who may feel alone after completing their training. They also discuss how Reiki can evolve with each generation while remaining rooted in its central invitation: to connect with universal life-force energy and bring greater presence to everyday life.
If you are feeling caught in the gap between an old part of yourself and the new part that is ready to emerge, schedule a complimentary Spiritual Upgrade Breakthrough Call with Terri Ann. Together, you can explore what is keeping you stuck and what may help you shapeshift into this new season with greater clarity, inspiration, and alignment.
Key Points from This Episode
• Reiki is a personal, accessible practice. Terri Ann and Dane describe Reiki as a way to ground, reconnect with oneself, and work intentionally with energy in everyday life.
• Chakras can offer a useful map, while Reiki makes the experience practical. Dane shares how studying chakras gave him a framework for understanding energy, while Reiki gave him a direct, experiential tool for working with it.
• A daily self-Reiki practice can be simple and sustaining. The conversation highlights the importance of returning to the practice regularly, whether through a dedicated self-session, meditation, or quiet moments of connection.
• There is no single "right" flavor of Reiki. From traditional lineages to chakra-based, shamanic, angelic, and other approaches, both Terri Ann and Dane affirm that practitioners can follow the expression that resonates with them.
• Community helps practitioners feel supported and seen. Dane created the American Reiki Association to help reduce the isolation many practitioners experience after training and to create opportunities for connection, encouragement, and collaboration.
• A successful Reiki practice benefits from both heart and practical skills. They discuss the importance of clearly communicating what Reiki offers, developing confidence, and learning the business skills that support a sustainable practice.
• Reiki continues to evolve through creative expression. The conversation considers how gatherings, events, and cross-disciplinary work can bring Reiki out of purely intellectual discussion and into shared, embodied experience.
• Reiki can stand on its own and can also complement other modalities. Terri Ann and Dane explore differing perspectives on blending Reiki with practices such as sound, color, movement, spiritual mentoring, and other healing approaches.
• Research has a role in bringing Reiki into broader settings. While personal experience remains central for practitioners, research may help institutions and the wider public better understand and access Reiki.
• Empowerment grows through connection and shared purpose. Dane describes the American Reiki Association as a platform for members to promote their work, have their voices heard, and move forward together.

Closing Reflection
Just for today, release worry, be honest with yourself and others, honor all life, and find gratitude for every living thing.
What if transformation does not begin with trying to think your way out of an old pattern—but with listening to the wisdom already held in your body?
In this episode of The Empowered Spirit Show, Terri Ann Heiman welcomes Cinderella de Groot, founder of Divine Light Collective and creator of Femme Flow™, a somatic movement practice rooted in the elements of earth, water, fire, and air. Together, they explore movement, nervous-system awareness, sacred ceremony, and intentional integration as meaningful ways to shapeshift into a more connected relationship with yourself.
Cinderella shares how Femme Flow™ blends curated music, movement, elemental energy, nervous-system regulation, free expression, and community to help women reconnect with their vitality, sensuality, playfulness, and inner fire. Terri Ann also reflects on her own experience in a Femme Flow™ class—arriving feeling covered up and hesitant, then leaving more embodied, empowered, and appreciative of her body.
The conversation also explores sacred ceremony and the importance of entering any transformative experience with intention, skilled support, and a commitment to integration. Rather than seeking an escape from life, Terri Ann and Cinderella invite us to use the tools available to us—movement, breath, stillness, community, and ceremony—to return to the wholeness of mind, body, and spirit.
As the season shifts toward fall, this is an invitation to honor what has ripened, release what is complete, and keep your spark alive.
Key takeaways:
Shapeshifting is an embodied practice. Lasting change is not only an intellectual exercise. When we include the body, emotions, nervous system, and spirit in the process, we create more room to move beyond familiar patterns and into a new way of being.
The body holds wisdom and memory. Cinderella explains that movement can help activate what has become dormant, bring awareness to stored emotions, and support a shift from stress and survival mode toward greater calm, safety, and connection.
The four elements offer a pathway for self-exploration. Femme Flow™ moves through earth for grounding, fire for bold expression and aliveness, water for emotional awareness and release, and air for joy, play, expansion, and lightness.
Healing can include pleasure, play, and expression. Transformation does not always need to feel heavy. Movement, music, laughter, sensuality, and creative expression can be powerful ways to reconnect with your essence and inner vitality.
Intentional integration matters. The conversation emphasizes that a ceremony or breakthrough experience is only one part of transformation. The continuing work happens in everyday life, through reflection, support, and practices that help new insights become lived patterns.
Connection is not outside of you. Whether through dance, breathwork, stillness, community, or a guided ceremony, the deeper purpose is to remember the connection to spirit that already lives within—and to be more fully at one with yourself.

How can sound help us come home to ourselves? In this episode of the Empowered Spirit Show, Terri Ann Heiman welcomes sound practitioner and yoga therapist Olivia Morrow for a heartfelt conversation about resonance, intuition, voice, and the profound sense of connection that can arise through sound.
Olivia shares how her path began through Kundalini yoga, the gong, and tuning forks, then grew into a practice that blends Tibetan and crystal bowls, voice, breath, body awareness, and therapeutic yogic practices. Together, Terri and Olivia explore working with sound intuitively before technique, the role of intention, the freedom of toning and chanting, and the ways sound experiences can invite rest, clarity, grounding, and a feeling of coherence.
They also discuss Olivia's work with horses and other animals, the power of group sound experiences, and why reclaiming our natural voice can be a gentle practice in self-expression. Above all, this conversation is an invitation to remember that we are not separate—and to explore the frequencies, practices, and inner guidance that help us return to ourselves.
In This Episode
• Olivia's journey from Kundalini yoga into sound healing with crystal bowls, gongs, tuning forks, and voice.

• A thoughtful conversation about carrying forward the useful technologies of Kundalini practice in new, grounded ways.

What if releasing emotional heaviness did not require you to force yourself into positivity? What if you could acknowledge what is present, call in support, and gently shift the energy?
In this episode, I welcome spiritual and wellbeing coach Susan Browne, creator of Angel EFT and author of Tapping with the Angels: Angel EFT and Ascension Through the 12 Chakras.
We explore how Emotional Freedom Techniques, angelic guidance, and chakra awareness can work together to support emotional release, strengthen intuition, and help us move through old patterns with greater compassion.
I begin with a reflection on the energy following a lunar eclipse. Eclipses can reveal old emotions, uncertainty, tenderness, and survival patterns—but what surfaces in the shadow is not the whole of who we are. Just as the moon remains whole while moving through temporary darkness, we can allow difficult feelings to move through us without making them our identity.
Susan then introduces us to Angel EFT, her intuitive approach to combining EFT tapping with the invocation of angelic support. She explains how the practice begins with "Palms Awake," a receptive position in which the hands rest open with the palms facing upward. From this still point, we can name what we are experiencing, set an intention, ask the angels for support, and begin tapping.
"It's like the weather—it's going to change. It's like the clouds in the sky; they're never the same. The tide goes in and out. So, too, are our human emotions." — Susan Browne
Key Points
• Old emotions and survival patterns may surface, but they do not define who we are.
• EFT tapping can create space for calm, clarity, emotional healing, and manifestation.
• Angel EFT combines tapping with intentional requests for angelic guidance and support.
• The Palms Awake position offers a simple way to become receptive, connect with Spirit, and set an intention before tapping.
• There is no perfect formula. Angel EFT is a flexible and forgiving practice that can be adapted to what feels natural.
• Emotional honesty is essential. Instead of spiritually bypassing uncomfortable feelings, we can name what is truly happening and tap with it directly.
• Locating anxiety or heaviness in the body creates a grounded starting point for the tapping process.
• Tapping scripts can help us begin, but the words should evolve as new feelings, physical sensations, and insights arise.
• Susan's 12-chakra framework connects human lessons with archangelic support, energetic healing, and higher-dimensional growth.
• Empaths can use tapping to sort through emotional layers, distinguish personal feelings from collective heaviness, and return to their own center.
• Spiritual growth asks us to remain authentic rather than dimming our light or lowering our vibration to fit in.
• Asking the angels powerful questions can move us from problem-focused thinking into a more intuitive, solution-focused state.
• Skepticism does not need to be challenged. Everyone becomes open to spiritual ideas in their own way and in their own time.
• Angel EFT can become a practical part of a spiritual wellness toolbox for everyday emotions, intentions, challenges, and spiritual connection.
A Simple Way to Explore Angel EFT
1. Become receptive. Rest your hands in your lap with your palms facing upward. Breathe and allow yourself to become present.
2. Name what is here. Honestly acknowledge the emotion, physical sensation, block, or intention you want to explore.
3. Invite support. Ask the angels for the specific help, clarity, or energetic support you need.
4. Begin tapping. Move through the tapping points using words that reflect your genuine experience. Notice what shifts and what new feelings or insights arise.
5. Return to stillness. Come back to Palms Awake, listen inwardly, and remain open to intuition, guidance, or a new perspective.
This practice is not about denying what hurts or rushing toward a higher vibration. It is an invitation to bring awareness, compassion, and spiritual support to the places within us that are ready to change.

The 8/8 Lion's Gate is here—a powerful moment to pause, listen within, and expand your radiance.
This year, the energy feels especially potent. We are moving through profound cosmic shifts, including the new Aquarius–Leo nodal cycle, Jupiter's movement through Leo, and larger planetary changes that are inviting us to become more conscious of our creativity, courage, intuition, and connection to the collective.
The Lion's Gate is often associated with the brilliant star Sirius, a star that held deep meaning in ancient Egypt. Its return to the dawn sky was linked with the renewal brought by the Nile's annual flooding. The pyramids, aligned with such care to the heavens, remind us of an ancient understanding: we are grounded here on Earth, while also connected to something vast and luminous.
In this new episode of The Empowered Spirit Show, I share reflections on this year's Lion's Gate and guide you through a meditation to help you:
• Release what feels heavy or outdated.
• Connect with the courage and clarity of your heart.
• Ground your energy while opening to higher guidance.
• Expand the radiance you are here to share.
For those who resonate with the language of guides, star family, and galactic connection, this meditation also creates a gentle space to become more open to the wisdom, synchronicities, and support that may be coming forward for you.
You do not have to force an answer. You do not have to have every detail figured out. Just give yourself a few quiet minutes to breathe, receive, and remember the light that lives within you.
You are rooted in the Earth, open to the stars, and allowed to shine.
After you listen, I invite you to journal on this question:
What quality am I ready to expand within myself now?
May this Lion's Gate support you in trusting your path, honoring your inner knowing, and allowing your light to become more visible in the world.
To your Spirit,Terri Ann Heiman

Standing in the Hallway: What Happens at the Threshold
Have you ever stood at the threshold of something new, a job interview, a social event, a stage, even just putting on a swimsuit, and felt the inner critic go into overdrive before you even walked through the door? In this episode, Terri Ann Heiman explores what she calls "the hallway," that charged space between where you are and where you're going, and why it can be one of the most challenging places to stand.
Terri Ann breaks down how the four elements: Air, Fire, Earth, and Water, show up in our bodies and minds when fear takes over. She shares how self-doubt, performance anxiety, emotional flooding, and numbing behaviors (like emotional eating, overspending, and over-scrolling) are all connected to our elements falling out of balance, and how this is at the heart of her upcoming book, Confessions of a Shapeshifter.
This episode includes a powerful guided practice combining EFT tapping and Reiki to help you release anxiety, rebalance your energy, and step into any new room feeling grounded, whole, and ready. Terri Ann also introduces her signature method, GAP Tapping™, a framework that brings together tapping, Reiki, shamanic tools, and breathwork to help you break the patterns that keep you stuck.
In this episode, you'll hear about:
• The concept of "the hallway" and why it's where self-doubt lives
• How the four elements (air, fire, water, earth) relate to our emotional and mental states
• Why emotional eating and numbing behaviors are never really about the food
• A guided EFT tapping and Reiki meditation to ground and center your energy
• The Masterclass: The Art of the Shape Shift
• Gene Montroselli's 24-hour Tapping Marathon fundraiser

Episode: Summer Shapeshifting - The Summer of Allowing
A Reiki Meditation for the Wish Fulfilled
Host: Terri Ann Heiman
Show Notes
Episode Title: The Summer of Allowing: A Reiki Meditation for the Wish Fulfilled Air Date: Summer 2026
Episode Summary: Welcome to a new season of The Empowered Spirit Show! As we step into the vibrant, expansive energy of Summer, I invite you to explore a different approach to growth and manifestation. Instead of pushing, forcing, or striving, what if you could simply allow your intentions to unfold?
In this episode, I weave the profound teachings of mystic Neville Goddard, specifically the Law of Assumption – a concept of "living in the state of the wish fulfilled", with the gentle, balancing energy of Reiki.
Summer is a time of natural abundance; the seeds you planted in the Spring are already growing. You don't need to pull on the sprouts to make them grow faster. You only need to breathe, trust, and align your energy with the reality where your desires have already bloomed.
Join me for a guided Reiki meditation designed to help you release the need to control, soften your energetic field, and step into the identity of the person who already has what they desire.
Key Takeaways:
• The Energy of Summer: Embracing the natural season of growth, warmth, and abundance without the need for constant hustle.
• Neville Goddard's "Wish Fulfilled": Understanding that manifestation isn't about acquiring something you don't have, but shifting your state of consciousness to align with the reality where your desire is already fulfilled.
• The Power of Allowing: Why pushing and forcing creates resistance, and how allowing and breathing creates a clear channel for Reiki energy and manifestation.
• Guided Reiki Meditation: A soothing practice using breathwork, the heart center, and Reiki energy to anchor you into the feeling of your wish fulfilled.
