David Barbash from Harmonic Innerprizes joins us to talk frequency. How do we protect ourselves from all the negative energies so prevalent currently, and keep our vibes high? What exactly is the Schumann resonance, and how does it affect us? How does electromagnetic radiation such as that from mobile phones interfere with our natural harmonic frequency, and what can we do about it? What’s in chemtrails and how can we protect ourselves from them? This is an insightful and fascinating interview where David makes connections between the intelligence of our bodies and the intelligence of the earth, and the necessity of that relationship being a healthy and strong one.

We are all magic and everything we do is a spell. Each thought, word and action is a spell we cast. Consider that as often as you can, and be aware of what magic you are creating. What signals are you sending out into the ether? This will be received, picked up, and acted upon by the universal forces.

This Winter Solstice 2020, I am releasing this magical affirmation out into the world. I recommend downloading this, and storing it in iTunes, or somewhere where you can play it on loop without WiFi. Have the computer in the next room while you sleep, you don’t even need it in the same room for it to work. Or have it playing on loop at very low volume so you can barely hear it, while you are working or making food. Affirmations work on the subconscious mind, so it seems to almost work better if you can’t hear it.

This is my gift to you this Winter Solstice. It’s very powerful! It shifted a lot for me. Let me know what happens to you when you start using it.

Cacao Ceremonies are a beautiful way to shift our energy into our heartspace. They are becoming increasingly popular, because as humans we need ritual to enable us to step back from our day to day responsibilities, and create space to unwind and reflect.  Using cacao as medicine is a fun and non-harmful way to do that. Kate Magic’s Cacao Ceremonies include gratitude, intention setting, visualisation, manifestation creation, gentle yoga and guided meditation. They can last from 2hrs to 7hrs, and are held online or in person. This recording is the closing 10 mins of a Cacao Ceremony Kate did for Emma and Steve of The Cardiff School of Naturopathy. You can hear in the participants voices how moved they were by the 2hr online ceremony, and hear from them how powerful they found it. To find out when the next Cacao Ceremony is, go to the events page at Raw Living. If you would love Kate to host a ceremony in your area or online for you, email [email protected].
