Wind Down Wednesdays

In Episode 145 we discuss the after effects of a huge influx of energy, a period I call integration. Why do we get so exhausted during this time? What is happening in our bodies and energetic fields? This meditation is a powerful recharging exercise to bring new, fresh energy into the energetic repository in the pelvis (called the lower Dantian in Traditional Chinese Medicine).

In Episode 144 we talk about the increasing intensity of the energies we are being asked to integrate and how this will culminate in the middle of next year. I introduce the idea of energetic literacy as a way of dealing with the ups and downs of life. What is it? How much energetic literacy does the average person need? How can it help us to not only survive but thrive through these tumultuous times? This meditation is a walk through my own bedtime routine of letting go of energy that no longer serves, calling home energy we've left with people or situations throughout our day, then energetically filling our cup with love and light (and perhaps offering some of that Source energy to others).

In Episode 143 we discuss the connection between embodiment and our voice. What do we sound like when we are disembodied due to trauma and cultural programming as opposed to when we are fully occupying our bodies energetically? Why does this matter? How is vocal work linked to trauma release and spiritual excavation? This meditation is a vocal exercise designed to help you begin to explore the full embodiment of your voice, complete with affirmations before and after to help illustrate the power of our authentic voice.

In Episode 142 we discuss the complexity of embodiment. It's not just about being present in the body (which is hard enough to accomplish!). Embodiment extends to presence within the energetic spaces in and around the body as well as to the light body, the Divine light/soul connection that exists beyond this physical realm. Discussion in this episode builds on themes of energy as a fluid medium we first explored in Episode 124. This meditation is an invitation to explore all aspects of your physical and energetic bodies.

In Episode 141 we celebrate 3 years of WDW with a card pull for the show and another one for the Blue Supermoon. Full moons are the culmination of the energy of each moon cycle, celebrating the intentions we set during the new moon, releasing what no longer serves, and preparing us for rest and renewal. This collective reading, while given at a full moon, can apply to any time in our lives when we are releasing the old and calling in the new. This full moon meditation can be done anytime, but is especially potent when practiced outside during a full moon. Flow into the watery, yin energy of the moon as you release what no longer serves and call in fresh restorative energy.

In Episode 140 we discuss the deceptively simple idea of not giving from an empty cup. What are the reasons that keep us from filling our cup physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually? Why is it so hard to put our needs first in order to give from abundance rather than scarcity? This meditation is a gentle invitation to identify the areas in which your cup may be empty and to step into a practice of filling those cups on all levels of your being.

In Episode 139 we discuss the 3 parts of energetic discernment and how our auric body is meant to act as a proximity alert and shield that gives us the chance to make a conscious decision about what we allow into our energetic field. We talk about how trauma can interfere in the development of this protective system and how the ego mind can try to convince us that we should take on energies that aren't in our highest good due to our trauma programming. This meditation is an excellent daily or weekly practice to strengthen energetic discernment by scanning through the auric field, identifying energy that is not serving our highest good, releasing it, and then inviting the aura to fill with beautiful, buoyant energy for full protection.

In Episode 138 we delve into different reasons why we hold on to hurt, including denial, people pleasing, and wanting acknowledgment and/or justice for the hurt. I define shadow work, we talk about how difficult it can be to look at aspects of ourselves we don't want to admit to, and we discuss how that work is essential for true healing. This meditation is a guided healing session to identify where in your body you are holding on to hurt and to invite that hurt to lighten and release.

In Episode 137 we talk about building relationships and communities with balanced feminine and masculine energies. We discuss how an undercurrent of competition lies beneath most of our communities, and how this doesn't serve individual members or the community at large. This meditation is an invitation to check in with the role of competition and comparison in our lives from a safe, physically grounded and spiritually expanded position.

In Episode 136 we discuss why a regular practice is so important, what the components of that practice are, and I walk through a fun analogy of the Wizard of Oz as a journey to reintegration and embodiment. This meditation is an invitation to ground into the body fully then expand out into the energetic fields around the body.
