This poem is very, very short. 

Emotional ramblings from an occasional smoker who sits on her porch and wonders things. 

One day, you knew what you had to do. So just do it already! 

The Victorian poem, "The Blessed Damozel," by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

Spiritual teachings from the Wisdom tradition on surrendering and moving through old ego conceptions of identity and reality. Intense and fun, if you're into that sort of thing!

Shamanic healing practices span centuries, and sometimes they come as intuitive downloads when we open ourselves to love and to the spirit world in an effort to heal and promote healing. This is my recording of an embodiment practice, tapping into shamanic ritual, on Friday, June 5th, 2020. This is my offering to the ancestors with the intention of peace, in the midst of riots and protests over the death of George Floyd, and the underbelly of racism and violence in America. You can try your own practice with the help of these instructions from my newsletter: https://motherjana.substack.com/p/my-womb-carrier-of-the-soul

Originally designed for women who have experienced shame about their bodies, this meditation works for both women and men who want to give themselves tender touch and healing in a relaxed and safe space. The touch employed here is pleasurable, warm, and inviting, using your own hands for healing. Perfect for an embodied meditation any time of day or when one is having a hard time sleeping.

No one on this podcast has any authority about scripture. These are just two friends, who love a divine being called Jesus (or SexyJesus), and they have different takes on what he teaches about money. One comes from a traditional Christian background; the other merges Quakerism and yoga and her own intuition and study. They have a conversation. Maybe they learn things. Maybe not. (The woman in the podcast is me, Jana Rose. The other is my friend Chris Mouzon, awesome man and financial therapist, healer, teacher.)

An OJibwe Indian tradition is to repurpose songs for new understanding, and as a form of healing and ceremony. As supplement to the story, "Me and a Tape," I sang the original song that inspired my story and influenced my life in a big way, which is "Me and a Gun," by Tori Amos. I am not a singer, but this song poured out after I read my story aloud. I would encourage anyone who has been abused in any way, or who has felt isolated and alone, to sing the song of one who has reached you, and taught you that there is hope. I dedicate this to abused men and women everywhere, so they know they can heal and be renewed. I was and am. 

Tori Amos's words have provided much healing in my life. She was a priestess and a guide when I didn't have much guidance, and she altered my path in a positive way. I will be forever grateful for her strength.
