What does it mean to make your life a living prayer?

In this heartfelt and powerful conversation, Charisse Sisou welcomes her dear friend, creative collaborator, and soul sister Rosanne Romiglio-Ashley — award-winning designer, artist, and spiritual channel — for the first episode of a new Wise Body, Ancient Soul segment: The Bellydancer and the Native.

Together, Charisse and Rosanne open sacred space for a rare and moving conversation with Grandfather, Rosanne’s wise Blackfoot ancestor and spiritual guide, who makes his podcast debut to share timeless teachings on simplicity, surrender, and spiritual maturity.

Through laughter, stories, and channeled wisdom, they explore:

• What it means to live life as a prayer

• How simplification can bring peace, even in uncertain times

• How to surrender fear and trust Spirit in moments of loss or change

• The call to spiritual maturity — taking full responsibility for your energy and your creations

• Integrity, truth, and remembering our sacred connection with all beings
  

As Grandfather reminds us, “Simplify your lives, and you will find peace. Make your life a living prayer.”

Rosanne Romiglio-Ashley is an award-winning graphic designer, published author, artist, and spiritual channel of Blackfoot, Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet), and Mi’kmaq descent, with French, Canadian, and Italian heritage. She bridges cultures, creative mediums, and the seen and unseen worlds with deep reverence and artistry. Learn more at FourWindsOneBreath.com

💕 From my ❤️ to yours, take what you need and pass it on. 🌈

I think we can all agree that things are... INTENSE out there. 

It is more important than ever that we maintain a peaceful, neutral center as we navigate these tumultuous times. Here are the insights and tools that are helping me ride the wave of our collective transformation!

In this solo episode, I explore the current state of chaos and anxiety in the world—with a reminder of the importance of staying centered amidst turmoil. Heightened energies affect our emotional states, so now is the time to embrace stillness and self-care. (Sounds too simple to be true… but trust me, the basics are critical and key.) Our intent is everything: our energy creates our reality. These are amazing times! And I am grateful you are here on the path with me. 😘

Takeaways

• The world is experiencing a collective state of anxiety and fear.

• People are going through transitions and massive changes, activating fear and grief.

• Choosing not to partake in fear can lead to being perceived as unrealistic.

• Elevated energies are affecting our emotional states, leading to feelings of anxiety.

• Rest and hydration are essential for processing heightened energy.

• Stillness and quiet time are crucial for creativity and intuition.

• Choosing to let go of the past creates space for the future.

• Manifestation is accelerated in the current energetic climate.

• Your energy creates your reality; choose your state wisely.

• Now is the time to re-examine your goals and intentions.

How does a plumber become an energy healer? 

When I first met Steve Pulvermacher, his unpretentiousness and impish humor immediately struck me, along with his profound generosity with his gifts and learnings. 

Listen to Steve’s extraordinary story of how his world and belief systems got turned upside down when his youngest daughter developed severe asthma. After years of treatment with little relief, he thought, “There’s got to be a better way.” His exploration of alternative approaches launched him down a path that not only relieved his daughter’s condition, it landed him a new vocation. Now a minister, energy healer, and Reiki-certified practitioner who has trained in dowsing, acupuncture, emotion code, body code, and radionics, Steve uses muscle testing (a form of dowsing) to identify and release trapped emotions, which can cause imbalances in the body and spirit. 

Our conversation takes a fascinating turn when Steve discusses negative entities and “dark energies” he’s encountered in his work, and how he resolved them. The key, he says, is to stay in the present moment, focus on positive thoughts, and be “NEO,” a non-emotional observer, to avoid getting caught up in negativity. (Not unlike Neo in The Matrix, learning how to tell the difference between what is real and what is not…!) It starts with paying attention to the words we use, and becoming aware of our subconscious programming. Steve encourages practicing love and gratitude as a daily affirmation for a more joyful and fulfilling life.

So, with love and gratitude, I introduce you to Steve Pulvermacher. Enjoy!

Lee Barnes, dowsing intuition educator, seed saver and longtime water well dowser, is a true custodian of the Earth. 

He explains that dowsing is not just about divining water but accessing a system of knowledge through our intuition. For him, tools such as L or bent rods and pendulums are ways to access this system, and they can eventually give way to feeling the answers in the body. After years of practice, he feels the answer even before his tool shows him. Barnes shares his process for locating wells, and the day-to-day realities of being a professional water well dowser. 

Above all, Lee stresses the importance of asking the right questions—and trusting the first answer that comes. He’s learned over his decades of experience not to question the answers that come. 

Lee also highlights the power of language and the need for clear and positive communication. Between that and trusting your intuition, he counsels, “Life gets a lot smoother.” 

Barnes touches on remote viewing, the ability to make changes at a distance through energy work, and his work with sacred sites. As down-to-earth as he is reverent, Lee emphasizes the importance of permission and respect when dowsing, or otherwise working with the earth and our dowsing intuition. 

Lee encourages people to learn and practice dowsing, as it allows for a deeper connection with the natural world and can lead to more harmonious and sustainable living.

Lee Barnes will speak at the American Society of Dowser’s 64th Annual Conference. Learn more and register.

💕 From my ❤️ to yours, take what you need and pass it on. 🌈

Leroy Bull takes us into the hush… that place of deep interconnection with Father Sky and Mother Earth, that state of being where his answers as an intuitive and seasoned dowser emerge. Because the answers come not from without, but from deep within, from that profound connection, or “at-one-ment” that Bull describes.

Simply being in Leroy’s energy field during this episode was like a master class on grounded, connected presence. (And coming from someone who teaches grounded presence… that’s saying something!)

With 68 years of experience, he’s dowsed thousands of objects, from 3,000+ water wells on four continents to time capsules in Japan. Author of The Art and Craft of Map Dowsing, Leroy is an engaging storyteller, situating us in history, and dowsing's use in the military, as well as his personal history: being handed a forked stick by his grandfather, and feeling that first pull of water.  

Bull emphasizes the importance of being open, trusting the universe, and tuning into the frequencies around us, “in the hush,” as he calls it. He shares stories of his powerful guides along the way. His experiences with dowsing and remote viewing are as much spiritual journey as they are scientific practice.

His experiences with dowsing and remote viewing are as much spiritual journey as they are scientific practice. Dowsing is more state of being than specific methodology—and the answers we seek are just a hush away.

Kumu Hula June Yoshiko Kaililani Ryushin Tanoue bridges worlds as both a Zen Buddhist Priest (a Roshi, or “old teacher”), and Kumu Hula (Master Teacher of Hula, which literally translates to “source of dance”). She is a living embodiment of bringing ageless wisdom forward and integrating it into our modern times… and how mindfulness changes everything. In the course of this conversation, she showed me (and by extension, you!) ways that we can be even more compassionate with ourselves.

Worried you’re not living your purpose? Relax. It will find you.

Worried that you’re not living in your purpose… or living up to it? Don’t know what your purpose is? You are not alone! Take a deep breath and tune in for an antidote to all this angst and anxiety. 

I start by debunking a few myths:

Myth: You have one and only one life purpose.

Myth: Whatever it is, it’s gotta be big.

Myth:  You need to know the “end game,” the ultimate result of your purpose on earth. (Yeesh, just writing this is stressful!)

There’s nothing worse than believing that we’re not doing what we’re “supposed” to do, are on the planet to do, were created to do… We have expectations and assumptions galore around our purpose here on earth. 

And the truth is… it is so much simpler, and there is so much more mystery than we often care to allow for. This week, I invite you to embrace the mystery, let yourself off the hook, and relax. Because whether you like it or not, your purpose will find you!

(Spoiler alert: you are already living some of your purpose(s)...!)

And finally, I leave you with tools and journal prompts to help you identify your purposes… because your soul leaves you breadcrumbs: clues to why you’re here, and what you’re designed to do when you know where to look.

Sandi Isgro, now president of the American Society of Dowsers (ASD), first held dowsing L rods in her hands when she fatefully stumbled into a labyrinth workshop. 

“When the rods magically moved in my hands, I was hooked! I have been dowsing ever since,” she says. Two of Isgro’s core passions ignited: dowsing and labyrinths. Wait until you hear how her guides made absolutely certain that she learn not one or the other but both, inextricably intertwined…! 

Sandi shares the purpose and benefits of walking or tracing a labyrinth, including the calming effect it has on the conscious, or “monkey mind.” She explains how dowsing is used to find ley lines and set labyrinths—and how tracing a labyrinth on paper provides many of the same benefits as walking one. 

We also delve into the history of dowsing, the origins of the American Society of Dowsing and the persecution of wisdom keepers who possessed this ancient knowledge. We touch on how the Oracle Delphi used dowsing to receive information from ley lines—and what disrupted that flow of energy, ultimately diminishing the oracle’s power and accuracy. Sandi also shares her journey with ASD and the importance of teaching and promoting dowsing, especially in these rapidly changing times. We explore the connection between runes and labyrinths, and highlight how runes amplify vibratory frequencies in a labyrinth setting.

Dowsing is a powerful tool for self-empowerment, self-healing, and finding one's own truth. Combining dowsing’s clarity with the calming and centering effect of labyrinths may just be the medicine you’ve been looking for.
