AN AWESOME WAVE is the collaborative communion of artists/holistic health coaches Marval A Rex and Megan Joy May, who both bring some dreamy and determined double Pisces magic to listeners. We cover and synthesize a wide range of contemporary and ancient topics + healing modalities from the perspective of strengthening our relationship to ourselves, others, and to Spirit, or as Marval likes to call it: DUS, or the Divine Universal System-- where there is infinite energy for empowering and transforming a world that is often clouded in pain and darkness. Each episode is an energizing prayer for better knowledge and intimacy of our bodies, our minds, and our spirits. In this first episode, we dive into Trauma-based Non Violent Communication, as informed by the current astrology of May 2020. Thank you for listening and subscribing! XO M&M
