In today’s episode, we’ll be talking about education of the cannabis, discussing the top reasons people are turning to this plant medicine, and even opening up to the full cannabis family as we begin to talk a little bit about the marijuana aspect of cannabis. 

My guest is Laura Lagano, co-founder of The Holistic Cannabis Academy.

Shira is a nationally recognized media-wellness personality seen on Bravo, GMA, The Today Show, and more.  Nicknamed by Reuters as "The Marijuana Mama.”

Shira has been featured in myriad digital and linear platforms and is hailed as the voice for our time as a CBD/hemp industry leader, expert, educator, advocate, and activist.  She's not called the "Queen of CBD in NYC" for nothing.

In this episode of The Empowered Spirit show, we talk about:

-Endocannabinoid System

-CB1 receptors

-CB2 receptors

-Anandamide

-CBG

-CBN

-Terpenes

-Strains

-Tinctures

-Doses

-Hemp Farming

-DNA tests

And now, through exploration, I have created an educational Summer Series on The Empowered Spirit Show: Exploring the Mind, Body and Spiritual World of CBD Oils. 

My first guest on this summer Series is Brandon Knight from Modern Mystic Shop in Atlanta who will be talking about unwinding to find your Spiritual Walk with the help of the plant medicine found in the Cannabidiols or CBD oils.

As this podcast goes to air, we find ourselves in the last phases of the Spring season. The light is increasing as we prepare for this last full moon off Spring. We are preparing for the new season of summer—a time that we honor the divine feminine and we sit back and enjoy the long days and the heat of the summer.

As we prepare to move into the new season, it’s always a great time to reflect on the past season and recognize where you are along your path.

In episode one, we talked about the benefits of a spiritual practice and offered some tips to start a practice.

The second episode was about energy work, most specifically Reiki and what it  has to do with a spiritual practice. 

And in today’s episode we are going to explore a byproduct, a good consequence of having a spiritual practice.

In this episode we continue with the 3-part series:

Part 1 - Why a spiritual path can help you and how to create a spiritual practice

**Part 2 - What Does Energy Work have to do with a spiritual practice?**

Part 3 - Intuition and how it is a great by-product of a spiritual practice

We’ll explore Energy Work and, most specifically, Reiki in this episode.

“Shhh…I do that too”. Do what? I would ask as I couldn’t quite hear them. “Practice spiritual work.” I would ask, Why are you whispering? “Oh, down here, everyone thinks I’m weird, that I practice woo woo or something?” By being spiritual? I would ask… “oh yes”

Isn’t spirituality a part of who we are?  

Why is it separated out?

What is Spirituality all about anyway?

That’s the topic we explore in this three part episode.

In today’s episode, I am going to offer a meditation for the greatest relationship possible.  That is the relationship you have with your inner child, which can also be seen as the consciousness of your spirit. Without a strong and healthy relationship to your inner child, it is hard to have strong healthy relationships with others.

In today’s episode, I am offering a meditation on removing the fear that blocks you from wanting to initiate changes in your life for the Spring.  

The meditation offered will guide you to release the fear so that you can experience your future as being quite successful.

As you move through the meditation, notice what you notice. 

Notice the release of fear energy.

The power in this meditation is visualizing things ending in a successful way.
