The Spiritually Active Podcast

Ready for a full Peru recap?? Well, this week you've got it! On this solo episode, I share a lot of details about what it's like to go on a flowhouse yoga retreat, the beauty & adventure that was the Sacred Valley, and my takeaways that I'm integrating back into my life in AZ.

My guest this week is Self Meets Soul Founder & Host, Giuliana Frye. Giuliana is a teacher is all aspects - she used to be a school teacher, is a provider of alll the yoga vibes, and just generally has gorgeous & practical wisdom to share. Giuliana started her podcast, Self Meets Soul, to share easy-to-understand information about spirituality, the practices she loves, and how to be more connected to who you are in every season. From starting a secret Snapchat story to finding her own voice that could get loud, I just LOVE how authentic & genuine she is in sharing her heart, and I think you will too!

In this episode we discuss:

• letting go of your ego & allowing your intuition to be your everyday guide
• listening to the tug at your heart strings, and taking up space / being seen in something you don't feel like an expert in
• how yoga, connection, and community is the fuel to a beautiful fire
• trusting in how the process unfolds, and knowing that the outcome isn't as important at the process

My guest this week is Hamid Jabbar. Hamid is my sound practitioner teacher and has an incredibly unique background. He works with individuals and groups, facilitating healing through the modalities of sound, plant medicines, bodywork, health coaching, yoga, and meditation - something incredible about Hamid is that he holds each of these teachings in deep reverence to the original teachings, while integrating a multidisciplinary philosophy. Hamid expanded his love for music first as a musician studying at NYU, and then eventually practiced law in the music & production industry. After a career in litigation, he has spent the better part of his life exploring Eastern philosophical and practical systems of Yoga, Ayurveda, Buddhism, Thai bodywork, Japanese energy work, Amazonian plant medicines, and other traditional healing methods. His certifications are both extensive and impressive. I am so grateful to continue to learn from Hamid about all things yoga, sound, & wellness.

In this episode we discuss:

• what "sound" really means, and the experience we have with it as humans
• the myths & studies surrounding sound, nature, & specific frequencies
• why sound healing isn't the most accurate description of what you experience when you go to a "sound bath"
• how to free your voice so that you can free yourself
