In this episode, I am welcoming you to a gentle, restorative space of safety and presence with all that is nourishing. There has been a lot of wonky, anxious, and heavy energy swirling around and culminating over the last week, and in this show, I intend to give space to the nourishing, the peaceful, the re-balance as we bring ourselves into a meditation practice to call in deep feelings of self-nourishment. Often, we are pulled away from our nourishment when anxiety and overstimulation hit.  It is important for us to re-turn towards our own sense, feeling, and experience of nourishment so that can find safety in the container of our bodies and find release from the looping, circuitous fearful thoughts in our minds. In addition to the deep mediation, I am offering some questions for you to take into a journaling practice, or into further meditation to help you re-connect to and re-member what is nourishing for you, and so that you can realize how you embody nourishment in your life. Welcome to All of You. 

Be so blessed and welcome to come back to this meditation as many times as you like and need. Stay with the feelings for as long as you can, and welcome them home to be lived within the body. Amen.

This episode is all about shadow work and soul work during the season of both the shadows and the soul, Scorpio. This is a deep, deep episode, and one with the great undulating motif of shadow work, the jungian concept that Katherine breaks down for us clearly and with much compassion. We are talking all about Scorpio season and the literal and physical darkness we will enter into with its energy. With it, comes Samhain and the veil being lifted for humanity to step through and begin the cultivation of light into the shadows. By moving from the outer realm and deep into the inner realm, we come to Know the Truth about our Selves and our lives. Scorpio offers the invitation into the deep entanglements of relationship, especially the parts we tend to cover up or handle covertly. So what do we do with all of this darkness and all of these shadows? We may find ourselves asking how we can possibly turn towards something that looks like total darkness. We must gather our courage, and then Surrender. The Law of Transformation will take over from there (Scorpio). With it, the energy of Pluto (Scorpio's ruler) comes the Law of Soul Evolution. Together, they unleash,  and unite us with, the power within to free our Selves from the tight, constricting grip of the lower ego and all the things we cannot control. And Instead, harness our True Power of Self to Become the change agent we are meant to Be in this lifetime. From there, we ‘see’ and feel and experience the power, wisdom and True voice of the Soul, and the gifts of these are truly endless--limitless. We are made for More, more than just one thing. Our true purpose is multi-layered, multifaceted, just like we are. The axis of this Scorpio energy is Taurus, the voice of the soul, and the Law of Life Mastery, which helps us to master the wisdom to hear that voice and summon the power to draw forth soul consciousness. This axis occurs at the Full Moon, where the moon will also lend us Her intuitive wisdom. Within this seasons energy is the potential to unite with Spirit, individuated in the Highest Self, and allow it to flow through the personality; to take that connection to Self and bring it to every moment, both mundane and divine, boring and beautiful. And find that unity, that absolute connection to Self and to all Others. Awen

If this work resonates, and you appreciate it, I appreciate YOU as well, and would love to hear your thoughts as shared in a review on apple podcasts.

The archetype of the veil is one that we use when we talk about making the transition from what is to what will be. We, like a bride, stand ready to remove the covering that keeps us from our future destiny; one that may include big endings, losses, changes and that ask us to move through them as grace agents. On the other side of the veil is also connection to our sacred dreams and desires and re-union with All that we are and will Become. Scorpio energy lends itself heavily to the investigation and journey beyond the veil. What we find there is our brightest light and our most Highest Selves, as well as our deepest depths and shadows of wounding and trauma. Both are necessary to be united in our bodies as we move forward on our journey of Re-membering our Selves Home. Included in the lifting of the veil is the life/death(Death)/rebirth process that always comes when we remove illusion from our lives. To every ending is tied a new beginning, and both take courage and intention to move toward and through. I invite you this sacred jam as I sit with the New Moon energy and prepare to lift my own veil on my life and my sou's purpose. I am so glad and grateful that you are here with me. So much love and Blessings from me, your host, Kristi Derkacy. Awen.

Welcome to this week's solo jam on Courage, Bravery and Resilience, friends! We are getting deep with these qualities, which the foundations of the embodied Warrior archetype. To help get us into this riff, I am telling (reading) a story that I wrote about my journey with these qualities, and how they came up differently in past phases of my life. Archetypal wisdom is all about listening beneath the surface, connecting story to your own story and truth, and holding yourself open to the striking of resonance that may come from 'hearing' what is being shared. I'll invite you to pay attention to what arises for you as you listen to this episode. We have all embodied courage, bravery and resilience at some point(s) on our journey. We have also embodied anger, either expressed or unexpressed. Anger is another piece of the Warrior, and a whole and healed Warrior expresses clean anger that does not obstruct their vision. Anger that is repressed, or expressed blindly scalds those with whom it comes into contact. And it leaves its mark on relationship, both with self and with others. This is the shadow side of the warrior. I will talk about the Savior archetype and how it relates to the Warrior, as well as the Saboteur as it pokes the unhealed warrior attributes, too. This is a fiery jam, harnessing the wisdom that I have been recently brought to pay attention to that is related to how I have manifested and presented the warrior qualities, both light and shadow, throughout my life. I hope this is an interesting and empowering jam for you. And I hope it spurs you to turn bravely, courageously, and resiliently towards your inner warrior. Love, Joy and Blessings from you host, Kristi Derkacy. A'ho

This week's riff on the Wisdom of Wyse Women Podcast is a continued flow of last's weeks, where I was jamming on finding balance in flow. This week, we are getting into finding our balance, returning to center point, when we are relationship with beloved others. At the time this episode is being released, we are about halfway through Libra season of 2020, and many of us are feeling the pull of that energy to align with our own sense of balance through Right Relationship. Through this energy, we can attune to the desire for flow and harmony in the spaces we create in our lives, particular when it comes to energetic exchange with others. We are going to cover the sort of push / pull dynamic of giving and receiving, of desire versus obligation, and for Right Relationship as we evolve on our journeys of Becoming. 

Our meditation will take us into an intention setting practice where we will be called to witness ourselves within the energetic exchanges we create, and will guide us back to our center point. 

It's a sacred jam for anyone who is navigating any kind of relationship in their lives right now, including the one to Self. So join me! It's a sacred space, and you are so welcome and encouraged to share it with me. Grateful and blessed to have you. A'ho.

This weeks episode is all about finding balance in the flow of life. This is such a difficult and deeply needed process of change right now. So many people have been expressing their inability to sustain themselves in the life they once had. That pull, the constant grind, just wasn't or isn't feeling Right anymore, With the worldwide changes this pandemic has brought, most of us have experienced change that has touched every part of our lives. We are being nettled with small d and big D deaths, and most of us are here in some rickety old boat, rocking back and forth, helplessly watching water spill over the sides as the waves rash and rage, while there also may be a slow (or fast) leak letting in more water from the bottom. With all that imbalance, we may even experience the "seasickness" that comes from allowing other things, people, places, etc to control our flow one life. In this state of absolute imbalance, we find ourselves with the realization that this is not working out so well at all for us. asking the question, "How the hell do I make it out of this alive?" Maybe we desire more than just to make it out "alive. Maybe we desire to make it peaceful, make it smoothly, make it balanced and in flow. In this episode, I am here to flow with you, and serve you with a jam on where we may be and the processes and practices that may get us to where we desire to be. In this case, in Right Relationship to balance in flow in our lives. A'ho 

Love that you are here. Welcome to All of You. Sending you Love and Blessings always.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Wisdom of Wyse Women Podcast! This week, Mona Luna is joining us to talk about the masks we wear, and how we let them fall.. Mona is an intuitive life coach, and the holder of sacred women's circles. In this episode, she shares her story of Becoming, the unique ways in which her path unfolded, and the masks (false identities) that had to fall away as she moved ever closer to the desires of her heart. We get into deep conversation about breaking out of an old life, into the void of the new. She shares openly about her experience of depression, and the limitations it places on the mind and our beliefs in what is possible for our lives and ourselves. Through the practice of Ashtanga yoga, she tells us how she opened to invite great change to herself and the ways she experienced life. She jams on the struggles of crippling perfectionism and the continual process of moving through those narratives. It's an exchange that is jam packed with sharing, surprises, and celebration! Mona also takes us through our meditation this week with guidance to get us back into our bodies and tap the wisdom of our sensory experiences. 

Other topics we riff on this week are: 

Money Stories and scarcity narratives 

avoiding the word "should" 

awakening to our wisdom instead of silencing it

reclaiming our power to Know

codependency, self betrayal, avoidance patterns 

shifting into a level "hierarchy" on which every voice matters and has something unique to express 

Mentioned in the show: Kino MacGregor, Ashtanga yoga practitioner; "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer,

Welcome to the Wisdom of Wyse Women Podcast, all you wyse souls who are finding my voice this week! I am your host Kristi Derkacy, and I am so excited + grateful to have you here with me as we riff on resting + water energy. You may be looking for the connection there, and I am going to say this: water as a symbol can represent the emotions, the womb, healing, and the depths of the subconscious. So when we are resting in a watery state, so to speak, we are probably doing some really deep work. There is likely some deep down psychic alchemy taking place, and that is why we feel foggy, or tired. Our energy is being pulled deeper, out of reach of the light of consciousness. Something new is being forged to be rebirthed when the energy resurfaces. Even when we are resting, we are still doing work. And the way we experience this is often within the workings of water energy. 

Join me for the two part meditation to honor and connect with water energy and ground our energy in the polarity of water, earth energy. We return to steady breath as we float in a healing visualization.

Welcome to this week's solo jam on going where you're guided. Part of the way we walk in an aligned way is by heeding the advice, guidance, and feelings we get from our Higher Selves and the external guides in our lives. These can be people who understand our path and have a solid voice of mentorship for us. They can be spiritual beings, like angels, power animals, or beings from other realms. They can also be plants and earth spirits who wish to share a message with us. This divine, higher guidance is always available to us, and when we learn to open ourselves up to it, we are more easily able to hear exactly what is coming through and form where/whom. Because what we definitely do not want to do is give over the guidance or advice-giving to people who do not understand the path we are on. They cannot support us and validate us in the way we need and desire because they do not know how. Sometimes, these are the relationships that we will be guided to bless and release as we move through and towards a new space and phase of life. Anytime we move towards alignment, we are moving into some discomfort that change will inevitably bring. And that includes endings. I share about times when I experienced guidance, including times when I didn't even realize what I was hearing at the time. I begin the jam by answering the question: how do we know when it our Higher Self/Spirit/Guides speaking to us? I explain how this starts with sensations in the body and recognizing the meaning that each sensation carries when it comes to rightness for our life path. Once we learn to trust our bodies and our internal voices, like our intuition, we can begin to receive the validation and affirmation and the further guidance of beloved others. It is always available and accessible to us, and this episode is intended to offer you the strength in Knowing that you are being divinely and rightly guided on your path now and always. Just listen beyond just using your ears, and you will 'hear' what is being offered to you. In this weeks meditation, we work on calling on our guides to receive a message that is important for us to hear right now. I encourage you to do this several times throughout your week. So deeply joyful to have you, and hoping you feel sparked and guided by this episode and by my voice. Blessings to you as you move through your week.
