As 2022 wraps up and 2023 begins, a lot of people spend time reflecting and thinking about where they'd like to go in the new year. Today we're talking about setting intentions through our energy centers, a different way to understand ourselves and what we really want out of life, rather than constantly setting the same goals and seeing them fizzle out after a few weeks. Let's develop a deeper understanding of what is going to bring us closer to our true, authentic self.

This week I'm talking to Andrea Claassen, an Ayurvedic Practitioner, RYT 500 hour yoga teacher, and Wild Woman Circle leader who has been in the wellness space since 2007. Her mission is to help you start to live a cyclical life by living in alignment with your menstrual cycle and the seasons. She does this by teaching her Peaceful Power Practices centered around movement, mindfulness & mother nature through an Ayurvedic lens. You can hear more from Andrea on her Peaceful Power Podcast where she aims to deliver actionable takeaways for you to live a more holistic lifestyle.

We're talking about the mind-body-soul approach to wellness, especially around the menstrual cycle. If you currently menstruate, used to, will someday, or never will, the information in this show is invaluable in knowing how to tune into our bodies and respond to their needs, even when the "needs" of the world seem to insist on being the priority. We talk about how Ayurveda looks to approach the ROOT of a problem, not just the symptoms, and what the connection between the moon and our moon cycle is. Connect with Andrea at www.andreaclaassen.com and on Instagram @seasonalandrea.

How do you feel today? And how do you feel about feeling that way? It's an Inception-style question that seems like it could go on forever - a phenomenon known as "meta-emotions." In the Chakra world, it's when we take our emotions out of our bodies, out of our Sacral Chakras, and let our heads and Third Eye Chakras get involved. Sometimes that's okay - even good! - because we get to act as a witness to our thoughts and emotions, giving us a little space and preventing overwhelm. However, other times we simply add to our discomort by telling ourselves stories about what our emotions mean, or should mean. Today we'll talk about how these meta-emotions develop, how they can bring unnecessary suffering into our lives, and what we can do about them (not how to get rid of them, since they're a part of the human experience!).

It's holiday time...again. And whether you love or hate the holidays, they tend to cause a lot of stress for a lot of reasons. Today's episode is a replay of part of a 2020 talk I did on manifesting a holiday experience, starting at the Crown Chakra and going down to the Root Chakra. It's not to create a perfect evening or event, rather to help you create space in yourself for ALL your feelings, accepting the reality of life, and then energetically shifting that reality towards something that will be more positive for you.

Exciting news: I'm introducing my newest course, Chakra Balancing for Weight Loss, available in January of 2023! It's not a diet, meal plan, or exercise plan, though. It's a course on shifting your energy towards a more self-loving, self-compassionate way of being, which is truly the only way to be healthier and happier.  In addition, my other courses on Manifesting will be available in an all new format, and of course, the Chakra Basics course is still free (and always will be!). The website for more information and to sign up will be live soon!

This week is part two of my interview with Jen Moore, and empath and author who helps other empaths understand themselves and how to deal with the world. Last week we talked about what exactly an empath is, the unique challenges of existing in the world while feeling others emotions as your own, and why we can all benefit from moving towards empathy whether we identify as an empath or not, and today we’re talking about boundaries. This is another word, like empath, that gets used a lot, but we don’t always know what it means. Jen takes us through how to set boundaries that are useful and flexible and grow with us, and also how to avoid violating other people's boundaries in an attempt to make ourselves feel better, especially if you’re an empath. I do want to let you know that we briefly discuss eating disorders and suicide, so please take care when listening if these are triggering for you.

Empath - the word gets thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean? Do empaths even exist? This week, I'm talking to Jen Moore, author of Empathic Mastery about what an Empath is and the difference between being an empath and having empathy. We'll discuss the history of the word and the experience, why it's coming to the forefront of our consciousness at this particular time in the world, and whether you might be an empath yourself. 

This is a two-part interview, so stay tuned for next week when we'll discuss boundary setting for everyone, not just empaths! If you're interested in learning more about Jen and her work, you can go to www.empathicmastery.com or www.empathicmasterybook.com.

This week I want to introduce you to Lion Goodman - subconscious pattern detective, belief therapist, and healer of the psyche. His work centers around clearing our limiting beliefs so that we can create the life we want to live. We'll talk about what a limiting belief is, where they come from, how to identify them, and what to do about it when you find one. We also talk about the kinds of limiting beliefs that can live in each chakra. Lion hosts free monthly events to help us clear beliefs around money, relationships, health, work, family, and more. You can find out more about those and register at www.beliefrelief.net. Other ways to find out more about Lion's work:

It's time to talk about the final stress response of the series - the Fawn Response. In the fawn response, we’re trying to diffuse a dangerous situation, but not in a way that is helpful to us. It's one of the least studied responses, but one that I think a lot of us use and will recognize. When we fawn, we're trying to placate our aggressor at the expense of our own mental and emotional health. It can look like being overly agreeable, people pleasing, or even abandoning our authentic Self - things that fall squarely within the realm of the Sacral Chakra. We'll talk about ways to keep the sacral Chakra balanced, and mindful use of the fawn response to create and keep our emotional boundaries, while making space for our true, authentic self to grow and express.

It's time to talk about the Freeze Response - the Throat Chakra's reaction to stress. Freeze isn’t complicated. We’re faced with a threat and we freeze. Physically we take no action. We don’t say anything. It’s as if our bodies have shut down, that any message from the brain that we’re in danger and might do something about it never gets translated to the body. We start to take up less energetic space, maybe even physical space, our heart rates slow, and we start to feel detached, like we’re not even there. Or you may experience sudden exhaustion or feeling of heaviness. If any of this sounds like how you respond to stress, this episode will help you understand yourself a little better and give you some tools to help get you back into your body and situation when freezing isn't a useful response.

Today we're talking about the Flight response to stress! This is a very common response and can show itself as avoiding, distracting, and procrastinating. We'll learn about how this response might be useful when confronted with a physical danger, but how the emotional and mental dangers that we most often encounter in our modern lives can't be run from. 

This stress response is based in fear and lives in the Root Chakra. When we're unbalanced here or chronically stressed, the blocks that we experience could even be holding us back from owning our true self and living authentically. We'll discuss two ways to help reduce our stress perception - facing and grounding - and why it's so important that we do so as soon as possible (no procrastinating!)
