In this week’s episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, I’m speaking with Rissa Miller, who offers Tea Leaf readings and Smoke Readings, among other interesting talents. From Journalist to Intuitive Reader I started by asking how she came from being a journalist to tea leaf reader. Rissa has been a believer and skeptic since a child.  She had a third eye that was open like a garage door and saw spirits and entities and more. Her parents were cool with all this. Unfortunately others told her it wasn’t smart to share these talents with others because people might think she was crazy. As a result, she locked it all down and went in the other direction of journalism and just the facts. Tarot has been in her family for a long time and she has a tarot deck that is over 50 years old. But she didn’t want to do that since that’s what her family did – a defiance thing. Tea Leaf Reading Symbols Then one day while drinking tea brewed with a tea ball, the tea leaves loose, Rissa noticed what looked like a cat, created by the way the leaves were positioned. Telling her mother what she saw, her mom explained this was a very old method of divination and she might want to write down what she saw. This began her tea leaf reading skill. Rissa found nothing at the library about this and there was no internet at the time, so she composed a large book of symbols and meanings through her own trial and error. In the last few years, as she has “come out” about her other worldly skills, Rissa has come to realize that she can be both a skeptic and a believer. Today she feels people now see who she really is and accept her this way. We talked about how according to many, the frequency of the earth’s grid has shifted upward which is why so many people are awakening. Seeing spirits, becoming mediums, channeling, becoming healers, doing readings have all become prevalent now. This demonstrates that the energy has changed and since we live on the planet, we have also up leveled. How Does a Tea Leaf Reading Work? I asked Rissa if she has a small round table her clients sit at with a pretty flowered table cloth, where they drink tea before their reading. Nope, while a lovely image, that’s not how she does it. Most of her readings today are done virtually with clients. People drink their tea and then send photos to her! Next, she puts them into photoshop (software) and blows them up big to get a better view of the patterns and symbols. With such a deep dive into those tea leaves, you can imagine how much more can be seen in the patterns the leaves create. What Is a Smoke Reading? Rissa also does smoke readings and I asked how that works. Using candles that don’t have smokeless wicks, she holds a piece of paper over a flame and lets the soot collect. It becomes like a drawing on the paper. This is one of the oldest forms of divination and was practiced by oracles at Delphi in ancient Greece. This is called Capnomancy or Libanomancy and falls into the Pyromancy category (seeing symbols in fire). Her readings are created as a guide for the client’s empowerment. The most common questions that she gets in her readings fall into two categories: Love and romance Career and money The things that often come up are what people need to hear in the moment. A lot also comes up about the past and things that need to be cleared or healed. The past needs to be addressed because it can become a blockage to what you want. Symbols Can Be Personal In addition, many symbols are completely personal to the client. She mentioned one reading where she saw what looked like a house on a corner lot near a park with kids. She had no idea what that meant but her client revealed that was exactly what was going on in her life. Turns out the client owned a corner lot near a children’s park and wanted to build a house on it! Rissa also once saw a sasquatch (big foot) playing a guitar. What the heck? This is too funny! This made her doubt herself. However, her client told her that her boyfriend liked to dress up as sasquatch and he also plays guitar! Can you believe it? The symbols are always right for the client whether they are part of her own library or specific in the moment to that one individual. Takeaway from a Reading One of the best takeaways from a tea leaf reading is that it doesn’t necessarily tell you your future path. Instead, it gives you information to make decisions that can take you forward or leave you where you are. It captures a direct reflection of your life in the moment. Rissa helps many who feel stuck to break free and move forward. In her own personal journey, she has found that fear has kept her stuck many times. Getting past it is the answer. Isn’t that the truth! There’s so much more in this episode, like the history of witches in Maryland and Pennsylvania, at the same time as the Salem, MA witch trials. She explained what cryptids are too and talked about William Shatner and his real life trip into space. At the end, Rissa shared what she considers to be the true magic in her life so be sure to listen right till the end. BIO: Rissa Miller Rissa comes to divination from an expertise as varied and diverse as tea leaves on a cup. Her knowledge of esoteric history and art history, as well as a long background in journalism, gives her a unique non-mystical perspective. She sees how her craft has a place in humanity’s culture and understands that life must be grounded in everyday practicality. Ultimately, she wants to help her clients embrace more fulfillment. Rissa aims to open a dialog intent on healing stuck energies, not by telling people what to do, but helping seekers see the answers with her guidance, as they relate to their own lives.

In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, I’m speaking with Mindset Coach Michelle Sera about her book The 7-Minute Shift, and how to elevate your mind to discover the possibilities. Why Mindset Coaching? I began by asking Michelle about her process and book, The 7-Minute Shift which I read and loved and how this came about. She had been doing writing and marketing strategy coaching for years with over 900 clients. Through that experience, Michelle came to realize how vital mindset is. No matter how big or small a person’s business was, the mindset piece is what often got in the way. It wasn’t that the marketing didn’t work – something else was going on. Mindset and the manifesting methods are so important to help people reach their goals. So, she changed her business focus to mindset coaching. Quieting the mind and meditating can make a big difference in your state-of-mind. When you make elevating your mind your focus, everything else follows along. This is based on where the attention goes, energy flows, a principle from Hawaiian Shamanism. What Makes the Difference for Your Clients? Michelle responded that when you can’t seem to make any significant progress, it’s often because of certain perspectives about business that are not true. This gets in the way, whether it’s about yourself, or marketing or clients, etc. One technique is to question yourself. What am I afraid of or resisting? What is behind this? What’s the worst thing that can happen? This is how you dig in and uncover what is going on underneath. Training yourself to question things is an incredible method to open new doorways and see new opportunities. Growing Up in Backwoods Georgia Next, I asked Michelle how growing up in backwoods Georgia influences her work today. Her answered surprised me. She didn’t grow up in a neighborhood with other kids. It was just her and acres of trees. Spending so much time alone in nature lead her to become contemplative. Also being sensitive to how other people are thinking. What Is Your Kind Of Magic? She’s had some incredible manifesting experiences. Michelle says we are manifesters – that’s why we are here. This is an expression of consciousness and how you experience self. Happiness Coaching The biggest thing in Happiness Coaching is to understand that you can’t be happy without having the opposite – sadness in your life too. You need that contrast to recognize what happiness is. Plenty of studies show that achieving a goal gives you a short burst of happiness, but it’s the pursuing the goal that creates the positive feelings. So, when you are without something to pursue, then you are without purpose and reaching for direction. Happiness Coaching is not a light hearted, or frivolous, it’s actually a deep topic, pretty complex, and worth pursuing. Michelle said her mentor explains you can’t pursue happiness directly, you have to go after it from different angles. Then we veered off to talk about Ben & Jerry’s ice cream – my favorite is Phish Food and hers is Cherry Garcia! What makes me really happy is doing a great Reading or Healing session for someone and recently I got a gloriously complimentary email from a client. She said I was compassionate; she loved the reading, and how very grateful she felt. That thrilled me! Leaning In Michelle has made a conscious effort to adopt a new outlook. She intentionally is experiencing everyday tasks as a spiritual experience. Even work around the house, like starting a fire in the wood stove. You can also call this mindfulness or happiness in the little things. Every night before she goes to sleep, she voices a list of “Isn’t it wonderful to have this wood stove, etc.” It’s like a gratitude list but this shifts it to happiness because of the wonderful start. To get Michelle’s freebies, visit Justforlistening.com where you’ll find a pdf overview of The 7-Minute Shift, plus an audio guide that goes with it. Also, go to HappinessCalendar.com for a 30-day calendar of 3-5 minute happiness activities.   BIO – Michelle Sera Michelle Sera, author of The 7-Minute Shift is a Certified Freedom Formula Facilitator and Certified Happiness Coach.  She’s also the founder of Elevated Mind, a company focused on helping people manifest their greatest self and highest potential. The 7-Minute Shift is the answer to the very common struggle so many coaches, consultants, and business owners face:  fear, doubt, and worry. For those starting or growing a business, getting out of your own way to succeed is the (only) real challenge. Michelle wrote The 7-Minute Shift for you. In addition to writing the book, Michelle has spent over 15 years as a copywriter and marketer.  Her work in the online marketing space has helped many 7, 8, and 9 figure entrepreneurs excel.  Her words have made an impact on millions of people, generating millions of dollars. Michelle grew up in the middle of nowhere.  She learned to swim in the company of gators in the lakes throughout the backwoods of Georgia.  She raced Dragon Boats off the coast of Naha, Japan, discovered the meaning of mental strength (or lack thereof) on Mt. Fuji, and raised two very impressive kids. According to Michelle, even learning to fight Krav Maga blindfolded, from an ex-Israeli soldier, pales in comparison to the bravery needed to raise tiny humans.

On this week’s episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, you’ll hear about clearing energy with Alida Morrill. As an Energy Coach, she helps people balance the energy in their life and shares stories about clearing entities, clearing spaces, as well as your ancestral lineage. Everyone Picks Up Unwanted Energy Alida started by talking about how you pick up energy in your daily life without realizing it. This could be at a restaurant or when you are out shopping and it might not be the kind of energy you really want. But the energy clings to you and then goes back home with you. Similarly, your phone and computer collect energy as well and she clears them too. This energy weighs you down, effects your mood, and so much more. That’s why it needs to be released on a regular basis. Yet so few people know this or do it! Deep Energy Clearing Method Alida created the deep energy clearing method that she uses today and it started as picturing an imaginary net. Over the last 12 years, she has energetically added many tools like Kevlar, which is bulletproof fabric, the Madagascar spider’s golden thread, and even Kryptonite. Just imagine pulling any item through the fabric net to clear it. This is done mostly with clear intention. Over the years, she learned to clear big buildings and other large things by visualizing them as shrinking down to fit in the palm of her hand, and then clearing with the fabric net. Alida teaches a Course in Awareness that incorporates 54 tools that is part of a spiritual journey. Sounds very comprehensive! She also talks about clearing your ancestral lineage as far as 25 generations back. I clear home and office spaces with a traditional smudge stick, a Reiki symbol, my pendulum and prayers, which is a different, but still effective, process. Listen to another episode about clearing energy here Clearing Entities She’s a grandmother, and her 7 year old grandson had a temper tantrum over not getting to eat a cookie. This seemed very strange to her and then she realized his grandfather who had passed was attached and bothering him. Recognizing what was going on, she cleared his grandfather’s spirit and the problem stopped immediately. Her daughter asked her what she had done since the results were obvious and fast! We also talked about older people with dementia who sometimes attach themselves to family members and how she encounters this often and clears it as well. Clearing Ancestral Lineage Next, Alida and I talked about ancestral lineage and how her clients frequently come to her for a clearing with their ancestors clinging on. She says this happens because many from your lineage want to be cleared as well. She asks the ancestors for their permission before clearing, so there is no forcing or anything being done without proper consent. A definite and lasting freedom comes with these clearings. How Open Are People to Energy Clearing? Living in the Bible Belt of the USA, I wondered how people reacted to her energy work. Alida said there was a lot more openness than you might imagine. She gets referrals from many sources like chiropractors, nurse practitioners and more. The list is long for where she gets referrals and she feels strongly spirituality is on the rise in Texas. This was so encouraging to me, in terms of bridging the gap between the political and ideological groups that split this country in half. Her experience is that many are reaching out to make a spiritual connection and investigating spiritual and energy methods. Alida thinks one of the most important things you can do for yourself is to ground. She does this with a waterfall of white light, which runs down through the body and into the earth. She then brings the earth energy back up into her body. It’s a beautiful visualization. As a dating coach, I created a pink light of love meditation for my clients which helped to clear their energy, shift out of work mode, and brighten their feminine essence. Those who did this on a regular basis reported fabulous results! Alida has a wonderful FREE gift for you – 7 Spiritual Tools which come to you in seven emails that can be downloaded here. BIO – Alida Morrill Alida Morrill is an Energy Coach with over 12 years of experience! She helps people create and maintain balance in their lives. She works from the client’s place of lack in their life, hears what they would rather have, and creates an Intention Statement that depicts this desire in great form. Then, she identifies and removes all of the energies that are blocking the client from manifesting this intention.  Alida worked in corporate America (in IT) for over 40 years and after retirement (which she now calls graduation) was guided to a secondary career using her spiritual gifts. Born in Berkeley, CA, she lived there until 1976 when she moved to Texas where she currently resides.

In this week’s episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, I share two personal stories about how intuition works in my business life. I just went through a difficult situation where I ignored my intuition, but then it kicked in loud and clear which changed the path I followed. My hope is that you’ll learn to pay attention to and trust own intuition when it comes knocking to help you avoid painful situations. That’s why I’m sharing what happened, so you can learn, grow, and take advantage of your inner knowing. One thing you’ll discover is how to tell the difference between your fear and a warning message from your intuition, spirit guides, or angels. Story #1 – The Matchmaker My first story is about a local matchmaker who wanted to open a new office in the town where I live AND he wanted me to run it for him! I was beyond excited because this felt like a very lucrative opportunity. I was struggling as a new coach at a time when coaching was still a relatively new service. So, this request was like a God send. The guy told me he’d call the following week so we could talk about the details. The thing is, he didn’t call the next week. In the third week, he emailed saying he was super busy and he’d call the following week. But he didn’t. In the fifth week we finally connected. But by that point, I’d had enough time to rethink this opportunity. So, I told him that in the time that passed, I realized this wasn’t the right option for me, and I had to pass. He was shocked and tried to convince me. But I had a strong feeling this was not a man for me to go into business with. It felt like when I needed his help, he’d be out of touch and unavailable. I didn’t want to be left hanging, not knowing answers to important questions. Thank goodness I listened to my intuition! Five years later, all his offices were officially shut down for FRAUD. I was very happy to have missed out on that disaster. Story #2 – The Coaching App The next story is the recent one and had many clues along the way that sadly, I ignored. A coaching friend of mine told me the coaching app she was working for was having a job fair looking for new coaches. She asked if I’d be interested. Yeah! Suzanne told me she loved working with the coaching app. I attended the job fair, applied for the job, and got the first interview with the sales manager. Steve admitted to me that he wasn’t being paid for the sales manager job or for the coaching he was doing. He said he was retired and had enough money. (Message #2) I thought he had that spiritual problem of thinking no one should make money from doing spiritual work. But that’s not my problem because I know I deserve to be well paid. I then had three interviews with the founder, Barry. Even from the start, I found Barry to be, let’s call it “odd.” During the job fair I asked him two direct questions about what he was looking for and he declined to give me a straight answer. (Message #1) He seemed coy like a teenage girl. This frustrated me because I prefer to work with people who are clear in what they want and can communicate well. That was not Barry. Not Every Opportunity Is For You I asked Suzanne what the story was with Barry. She liked him, so I asked her why. Suzanne explained that he was kind and a good leader. Neither one of those meant he had any business acumen. Suzanne suggested that maybe this opportunity wasn’t for me. (Message #3) Another sign that I let slip by. Yet, I pushed myself to see the good in him that Suzanne saw. Why do I need to be so judgmental? Again, this is me ignoring my intuition and giving myself a hard time for not being more open when I could have honored what I knew to be true for me. (Message #4) For the third interview I asked Suzanne for some help preparing. She gave me some direction on how to answer a couple of Barry’s questions and then said, “Maybe this isn’t for you.” (Message #5) Did I heed the warning? Nope. Then to my incredible excitement and joy, I got the job in early January and began the training. Many coaches started working in March and I was scheduled to begin in April. Why I Finally Paid Attention to My Intuition On March 13th, Barry sent out an email saying that he needed our help to get 1,000 new year-long subscribers, and then the paychecks could start. WTF? (Message #6 – finally I started to pay attention!) That’s when I realized he had no funding. Even if we managed to get 1,000 new subscribers, that didn’t even pay for one month’s salary for the coaching team! I was totally bummed out. I asked a few friends/family members what they thought of the situation. Much to my surprise, more than one said I should give it a go to see what might happen. I couldn’t understand that. Why would I work for free? How could I work for a man who was so lacking in transparency? Was he going to give back pay once the paychecks started to flow? How long could it take to get 1,000 new subscribers? And, if he knew this when he hired us all in January, why didn’t we start trying to get subscribers back then? Why did he wait? Why wasn’t this part of his training? Communicating On The Inner Plane Realizing I needed more information, I tried to talk with Barry on the “inner plane” using my intuition. I got a loud and clear answer that sealed the deal as far as I was concerned. You’ll have to listen to the podcast to find out what that was. Ultimately, I can’t work for someone who isn’t direct and refuses to be honest and transparent. I don’t think he’s a bad person, but we are not a good communication style match. Suzanne was so right – this job wasn’t for me. In fact, it’s not really a job if there’s no funding for paychecks! I wonder how long others will stick around to get those 1,000 new subscribers and hopefully get paid. For me, I quit, so I’ll never know; but I’m OK with that. So, I could have realized earlier that this was not for me. On the other hand, I did finally heed the warning messages and got out before I started to work for free. So there is a silver lining after all. New Group Forming I’m starting a new group in April called the Intuitive Edge Circle for Wise Women. In this group, you’ll learn a bunch of intuitive methods and how to trust yourself, so you can make good decisions and avoid painful situations that take you off your highest path. We’ll meet twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays. There are other perks and you can learn more and register here.       The post How My Desire Blinded Me To My Intuition – A Personal Story appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Listen to Tina Erwin tell her crossing over ghost stories and you’ll get a completely different viewpoint on the after-death process. Tina’s focus is helping ghosts and spirits stuck on the earth to cross over and complete the process of dying. This came about because she lived in a lot of buildings that were haunted! When her husband was stationed in Italy, they lived in buildings which had been occupied by the Germans during World War II. When they came back to the states, they moved to Charlestown, South Carolina, where Tina swears every building there is haunted. One of the scariest stories she told was how a male ghost got into bed on one side of her while her husband was on the other! Tina couldn’t speak or move, she was so frightened. Being around lots of ghosts, she had to learn how to handle them. Tina started reading everything she could find and researched the process of dying and what comes after death. Only the Tibetan’s prepare people for what is going to happen from what she learned. How to Help a Ghost Cross Over With her research, and some channeled guidance, Tina created The Crossing Over Prayer (C). Spoken aloud three times, this prayer is said to speed the ghost on it’s way to the light and the angels who are there to help. Even a new construction home can have ghosts because they come with the land. No matter where you live, someone was there before you. Think beyond the settlers and the paths they took across the US. The Native American tribes originally populated this country. Who knows who came before that? Ghosts can come from any time. They can be highly prevalent in a war-torn area. Tina told a great story about someone walking battlefields in Europe, freeing ghosts all across the land. Ghosts of Children Tina has helped children cross over who didn’t seem to know what to do or about their change of being. She told a wild story about a little girl ghost who followed her granddaughter home from school and ended up bothering her baby brother. But all ends well! Tina’s method makes it all so simple. She swears anyone can do it. Once a ghost is crossed over by saying the prayer, the healing can begin. That’s why these ghost stories are incredibly different. They come with happy endings as the spirits find peace and the living do too. BIO – Tina Erwin Tina is passionate about being a Ghost Helper: Teaching the Living to Help the Dead(R). She wants to empower us all to help all ghosts. This is the compassion you’d want for yourself, by using The Crossing Over Prayer (C) on GhostHelpers.com and in “The Crossing Over Prayer Book (C).” When a psychic only connects to a dead person, the ghost does not receive the critical assistance they desperately need. Tina has studied metaphysics all her life, gaining insight into the mystical world of magic and spirituality. The author of eight books on metaphysics, her writing comes from an intense desire to know and understand the hard science behind the unseen world of action and reaction, combined with a sincere desire to share this understanding with other knowledge seekers. Her life long studies into deeper meaning of events and actions were further enhanced by the experiences of a dynamic 20-year career in the Navy, working for the U.S. Submarine Force, retiring at the Commander level.

Familiar with the art of surrender? In this week’s episode, Soul Guide and Business Coach, Vanessa Broers, shares her story about magic, business, shamanism and divine feminine energy. Authentic and Real Vanessa is all about authenticity and openly reveals where she is on her journey in life and business. After I introduced her, she mentioned how “baked in” it is in our culture to look a certain way and appear successful. That means many people guard the real truth of their experience. She said it was too bad I didn’t read a different bio for her, having to stick with this radical level of realness. Then we had a good laugh! This episode is brimming with laughter and authenticity, so enjoy! Practical Magic for the Entrepreneur As a soul guide and business coach, Vanessa insists that being an entrepreneur is one of the best ways to experience magic. To her, practical magic means you are in pursuit of material results but get them in magical ways. This happens not only by your effort alone, but also with a deep level of surrender. And it’s amplified the more authentic you are. To her, self-expression is a major requirement of magic. The reason entrepreneurship is such a potent container for practical magic is because it leaves you nowhere to hide. It reflects where you aren’t that skilled, as well as where you have insecurities and limiting beliefs. Entrepreneurship is a neutral mirror that’s not trying to make you wrong, neither does it apologize for reflecting the harsh truth. When you see flaws and allow yourself to go inward to connect with the divine, essentially you heal as you become freer. This makes you more fearless to do the work, and become more yourself. You also align with the synchronicities of life because you are vibrating the truth of who you are. This attracts things, situations, and people into your life for help and further growth. There Are 4 Types of Work 1. Outer Work that Creates Outer Results – For example, if you want to paint your house, you buy paint and a brush and get started. This is where most people “camp out.” 2. Inner Work that Creates Outer Results – This is where you work on your belief systems on the inner plane to shift and get results on the outer plane. 3. Inner Work that Creates Inner Results – This is like therapy and healing. But what creates confusion is when people think inner work will create outer results, which is not how it works. 4. Outer Work that Creates Inner Results – This is where magic really comes into play using ancient rituals and ceremonies. Giving offerings to the land and being in nature so it can crack you open. Learn about Shamanism and the Elemental Goddess The Art of Surrender Vanessa has been doing this inner work and chugging along, doing great, creating outer success. Then out of nowhere, she had a financial collapse. Her first reaction was pure panic, fear and bursting into tears, as you can imagine. But within minutes, she went to her altar and prayed for help to let go. This is the art of surrender. And she got a message! As a result, she felt totally and immediately liberated. This is an amazing example of outer work that created an inner result. Going to the altar and working on the art of surrender. Think of the four types of work as a menu to figure out what other way you can create a shift and move forward. It works like a road map because anyone can get lost at times. Instead of making yourself wrong, simply think of the four kinds of work to see which one you might have relied on too heavily. Then pick another one to try. A Client Example of Surrender Next, I asked Vanessa for a client example and how this worked. She responded that several of her clients are also in the same boat of having the external world collapsing. She tells her clients openly that if they want a rebirth, they have to be ready for the death of something to happen first. Vanessa has a program called Permission Power Vision. Clients go to her boxing gym to create a huge somatic release. This promotes going deep into the emotional side of things. The idea is to do the outer work by moving the body which creates a massive inner release (i.e., the art of surrender) to create the inner shift. The second day is a spa day, allowing your body to do the inner work of assimilating. Recently, one of her clients did the program and in one day she lost her job and left her relationship. But the woman remained strong and didn’t fall apart at all. She knew this was right and it was magical how these events aligned. Vanessa asked her to do more outer work like ceremonies and looked at the way she wanted to create a new life. It absolutely takes bravery and courage. We both laughed about how we thought finding the spiritual path would make our lives easier – ha! Truthfully, even three years ago, Vanessa admits she liked the “woo” but wouldn’t consider doing these kinds of ceremonies. Today she knows that ceremony as outer work is a game changer. How She Got into Shamanism Working with a coach and doing a Joe Dispenza 21-day body reconditioning program helped her feel a lot more harmonious. Then suddenly, rage appeared and surprised her. Her coach suggested she needed to work with a Shaman. This began her exploration into Shamanism. Her first Shaman told her so many mind-blowing things, it cracked her open. She went deeper and felt that if she was going to really dive into Shamanism, it would have to be a calling. One day she stood before her altar and made a declaration to be cracked open to her full power and nothing less. The next day she went for a walk and came upon a single hawk wing on the path. Listen to more on Shamanism and Intuition She sent a picture to her new Shaman teacher Leann, who told her this is the hallmark call to the Shaman path. She’s at the very beginning of her official journey to becoming a Shaman. The art of surrender will be a part of this work. I shared how the other day I saw two eagles perched high up in a tree on my morning walk. Vanessa explained eagle medicine is the essence of liberation of the spirit. And it’s the messenger between heaven and earth with precise vision. We wrapped up talking a bit more about letting go and the art of surrender in a powerful way. Then she offered two freebies that you want to get! ThePowerGift.com – This gift reveals 5 stages that wake you up to the truth of who you are and one of those is the art of surrender.  Vanessa also invites you to her quarterly free event called Emergence – a half day of deep work which sounds amazing. BIO – Vanessa Broers Vanessa Broers is a soul guide and business coach blending the practical with the magical. She takes being real and authentic to a radical new level. Vanessa is set on innovating the hierarchy-based model in the coaching/personal development and spiritual industry. Not trying to make herself look impressive, Broers is willing to reveal the real-time challenges she experiences to model what doing the real work looks like. She’s not afraid to make herself look ‘bad’ if it liberates the people she serves. In her world, there is no ‘there’ to arrive at in the name of success – spiritual or material.

In this episode I welcome back Jan Stringer of Sacred Synchronicity, as we explore what it’s like to let go of the plan and open to following your intuition. When you are ready, you can let go and open the door to the synchronicities that show up all around you. The Meaning of Sacred Synchronicity Sacred Synchronicity is when you have enough awareness to notice that there are signs pointing you in a particular direction. Here’s how this unfolded for Jan. Back in 2017, she was talking with a friend and mentor and suddenly the idea of sacred synchronicity came into her mind. The minute those two words came together for her, she was in love with the idea. It took some time for her to follow through on this exciting thought. Let’s back up to tell you about how this all came to be. Jan has a corporate background as VP of Sales, but walked away because she felt burnt out and tired of checking her soul at the door. That’s how she started her business Attracting Perfect Customers. She wanted to help people actually enjoy what they do and live their purpose inside a business. For over 22 years, Jan sold 100,000+ books by that name and ran a lucrative training program. Letting Go This concept itself was really ahead of the curve, thinking about having a soul in business and enjoying yourself. However, even though this business was her baby, she realized everything has it’s time and once again she had to let it go. In 2022, things were coming to a close and September 27th, was her cancellation date for her customer relationship management (CRM) system (the data base). Coincidently, a friend told her about a three-week trip to Morocco and asked last minute if she wanted to go. This was a perfect example of sacred synchronicity, since everything came together so smoothly to go on this trip. The pet sitter and all the last minute things lined up perfectly, and the day she took off was the day her CRM system cancelled. And that’s how it works. When you are ready, the door opens, things in your life align, and you walk through to a new part of life. Sacred Synchronicity! In her first book Attracting Perfect Customers: The Power of Strategic Synchronicities. This was all about being clear about what you want and you’re focused and have a plan, then you’ll have more opportunistic synchronicities. (Note: She’s listed as Jan Brogniez.) In the meantime her husband had passed away, she’d let go of her business and now what? She heard that she had to let go of having a plan and find a new direction! The Energy of Anything Can Happen When she stayed in the place of “anything could happen,” it all felt right. She could heal and tune in to discover what her purpose and passion were. This helped her make sure her intuition was aligned with all that, she was taking the steps, and allowing her guides to guide her. Rather than a plan, it’s an experience. It comes with allowing her heart and soul to guide her rather than her brain and letting go, that’s how doors open. To me this sounds like Michael Singer’s book about his life called The Surrender Experiment. This billionaire created his fortune without any plan. He just followed what the Universe showed him, which lead to owning a construction company that grew like crazy. Next he bought one of the first home computers sold by RadioShack, learned to program, and developed the first software for doctors to track patient information and billing. He never had a goal of creating this fortune or any of what transpired. Listen to Jan’s first interview about sacred synchronicity. Sacred Synchronicity and the Pendulum Today, Jan trusts her pendulum as her guide. She’s got a huge facetted crystal, maybe two inches in diameter hanging from a chain about 12 inches long. Now that’s a pendulum! She uses this intuitive tool because like all of us, sometimes she can be influenced by her ego and get off track. She asks the pendulum if she’s on the right track, thinking of Sacred Synchronicity. In addition, Jan clears energy with it. Here’s a funny thing. Now Jan uses her pendulum for dating! That’s one place where she can easily have blinders on, so she checks herself by relying on the pendulum. This is a great way to get a clear answer on something so emotional. You can hear about synchronicities of love in this episode. If it ever happens and there is it confusion, use this powerful tip to get an accurate answer. Say, “Access 100% accurate testing on all levels and dimensions.” Repeat three times which is the number for invocation. Then ask, “Am I clear for testing?” The pendulum I use is from Damanhur, a spiritual community in Italy, and it’s created to be immune to your influence. I totally love it! Four Doorways to Work Jan talks about the four door ways she works with: Love, power, intuition, and purpose. So, for love, most questions circle around meeting the love of your life, learning self love, and clearing blocks to love. This might apply to someone married or single. Jan admitted meeting her twin flame and knew there was something intense and different about this relationship. She discovered this was a path to self love. Next, the door of Power is about standing in your own power and finding your own sacred super powers. These are your gifts which must be found through experience. Intuition is so important, and Jan always go back to trusting her gut. Your solar plexus – what is it telling you? She helps people learn to open up and listen to themselves. For the doorway of Purpose, she goes into business and work. Everyone has a purpose, so to find your strength and value and have a better experience in life. As the Voice of Sacred Synchronicities, she allows the words to flow through her and says that’s why she is on the planet. She also works with Energy Oracle Cards by Sandra Anne Taylor. She picked a card for the listeners and chose Victory. The way to have more victories is to celebrate a victory every day. I love that!

In this week’s episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, I’m speaking with Kelly Sullivan Walden, Dream Therapist, Bestselling Author, Speaker, Reverend and workshop leader brimming with wit, warmth and wisdom! Hot Air Balloon Crash I started the interview by asking Kelly about her hot air balloon crash. She had taken a large group and her balloon went off course into a Mexican wild game preserve! From her balloon, someone saw a zebra, then a giraffe, elephant and caribou. This was NOT supposed to be happening. They drifted apart from the other balloons, finally crashing and being tossed from the basket. Thankfully, no one was injured. As Kelly looked up, she was next to a giraffe. She stood up, hoping the giraffe would like her and knew this animal has the biggest heart of all land animals. At first it sniffed her, then licked her head! She said she felt loved. In the jeep driving back to the group, they saw lions just 25 yards ahead. What an unexpected adventure! Kelly Sullivan Walden’s New Book In her new book, A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste, Kelly talks about her OGLE method for turning the tragic into magic. An amazing technique, she explains how the process is truly transformative. As a dream therapist, people come to see her when they are in emotional pain. Her mission has been to find a way to help clients resolve these situations quickly. She wanted something thorough, profound and fast and she found it! In her own NDE, she got to see that the magic of spirit never stops. It’s always there. Kelly knew there had to be a simple way to call in the magic to turn things around when you are up against fear or issue and everything seems hopeless. She amalgamized a bunch of things from her tool box, and with the help of her guides, created the OGLE method. This works to repair your heart and get you back into the flow of  magic quickly. The OGLE Method Here’s how the method works: O stands for what is Offensive about what happened. This gives you permission to admit what was scary, mean or hurtful and express that. Just like the balloon crash, which was scary. G is for Good. What good can you find about the situation? Her wayward balloon ride turned out to be a bucket list experience that wasn’t on her list. Seeing those animals up close was very magical coming from this trauma of crash landing. L is for Looking Glass where the magic of transformation really starts to happen. Look at yourself and ask how am I like the person who offended me? At first she blamed the balloonist who lost control over the drift. But Kelly realized she’s made plenty of mistakes herself over the years, which is why she needs to have compassion for others. E is for Elevate to change the energy. You have to learn something, to create the magic. In this example, Kelly decided not to be a victim of this balloon crash, since thankfully everything worked out OK. She also decided to give herself a break next time she makes a mistake. Shifting like this and taking positive action elevates your thoughts and vibration which is certainly where the magic resides! What Kelly loves about the OGLE method is that it can change you and transform the situation fast, rather than dragging you down for a long time. Use this the moment you start to feel the downward spiral of emotions. If magic is your birthright, acknowledge the tragic and heal, so you can move on more quickly to the magic. Listen to more about transformation The Dream Therapist – Kelly Sullivan Walden Next, we talked about dreams. Known as the Doctor Dream, Kelly knows the ins and outs of dream symbology. I asked if we could look at one of my old dreams that is still vivid in my memory. In the dream, I was looking in my closet for something to wear to a party but couldn’t find anything that appealed. Suddenly, an older woman appeared asking me what the problem was. I told her there was nothing good to wear and she responded by asking “What are you talking about? Look at what’s in here.” She waved her hand and magically changed everything in the closet to gorgeous favorites! Beautiful colors and sparkly options. In the dream, I still couldn’t chose anything and never went to the party, although I was totally amazed by the options . At the time I dreamt this, I was not happy in my corporate job. Dream Interpretation Kelly likened my corporate job to the boring clothes in my closet. Clothes represent an identity that you put on. My clothes were conservative and drab like I felt about the company. Also, a closet can represent something closed off and not available to be seen by everyone. Next, when there were so many colorful, fun clothes, it represented a vibrant aspect of my soul I hadn’t connected with. It might have been showing me all the amazing opportunities that were in store for me, too. More lavish, soulful and vibrant. Kelly pointed out that the dream is still alive today, so I can go back in and change the end. Give it the ending I want now. She also pointed out that it might have been showing me the colorful life that has become my future. There’s been tons of research related to finishing a dream this way, or as she calls it “Dreamafesting” (like manifesting, but with dreams). Harvard Medical School and Chicago Medical Institute have done extensive studies. When they scan the brain, there’s a certain synapse that fires when you think about a bad dream. However, when you change your thoughts and reimagine it, your brain literally gets rewired! The Golden Buddha Kelly tells a wonderful story about a solid gold Buddha in Thailand that was hidden by covering it in cement to protect it from invaders. Eventually people forgot what was hidden beneath the facade and the Buddha sat in a crumbling temple. until 1954 when it was moved and it’s true value was uncovered. A golden glint was seen through cracks and it was restored to the original beauty close to the 2500 year anniversary of Siddhartha Gautama’s (Buddha) death. The Thai people saw this as a miracle. We are all the Golden Buddha because we are naturally shiny and gold. But in this world of suffering (as Buddhists think of it), people cover themselves up for protection and forget the gold beneath. When something difficult happens, a breakdown can become a breakthrough to crack that cement. That’s how the gold starts to peak through! Trauma and difficulties can help us excavate the gold beneath and the true self. At the end, Kelly talked about her luxury retreat coming up called “The Crisis Is a Terrible Thing to Waste Retreat” in Costa Rica. The 5-day trip is in June 2023 and you can find details here.

In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, I’m talking about a super interesting reading for a past life returner. What is a returner? Someone who has had many lives and returned to earth multiple times to keep learning, healing and growing. Past Life Travel Guide I really enjoy past life work and doing Akashic Records readings for people. Doing this opens your eyes and gives you a much higher level perspective on what is happening in your life today and why. Think of me as your past life travel guide. What really got to me about the reading in this recording was a number of synchronicities and spots where I hit the nail on the head! I got deeply tuned into this woman, her past lives, careers, relationship with her father and love interest. My client is from Brazil, but she called from a boat near Alaska and that’s all I knew about her. At first she just wanted me to tune in to her without asking any questions. This isn’t my favorite thing to do, but I gave it a shot. Past Life Returner Has a Sailing Theme I saw that she was a past life returner with many life. She was Mayan Priestess, doing ceremonies with plant medicine. I also saw her on a boat from Portugal, sailing to Brazil in the 1500s. She was also a pirate sailing around the Caribbean in the 1700s. Then I got a vision of her as an indigenous shaman who had a close connection to whales from Alaska. This reminded me of the movie Whale Rider which was a right of passage for a young Mauri girl. An awesome film. How Her Past Affects Her Life Today Turns out that my client was on a boat near Alaska tracking marine life and whales! Ding – got that right. I assumed she was in the navy and had no idea she was a biologist and was fascinated by how many lives she’s had on the water. Maybe you’d like a reading? She also wanted to know about her dad and why he always seems to reach out to be closer to her while she’s at sea. But when she’s back home, he seems more distant. This is partly because one of her big life lessons is to learn to be independent and so he supports that goal, even if it’s unconsciously. This is likely part of their soul contract. This past life returner also wanted to know if I saw her moving anywhere, She’s been thinking about putting roots down somewhere. The first thing I saw was California but she had no interest in the U.S. west coast. She asked about Europe. As I tuned in, northern Europe seemed possible, maybe Demark. As luck would have it, she had met a man from Denmark and was thinking about looking into going there. The problem is he’s married. It’s an old story heard too many times by this long-term dating coach. A woman wondering when the married men she’s seeing will leave his wife. Not going to happen. A Viking from Denmark She wanted to know if they had a past together. Of course they did! Listen to this – she was a Viking from Denmark, who set sail in the 800s or 900s to maraud over the British Isles, landing in Ireland. In that life she was a man who had a wife left at home. But he fell in love and married a local woman. You guessed it – the Denmark man! (They had switched roles and genders.) Now married to two women, this was a problem for the past life returner. Eventually he went back home to Denmark, leaving his Irish wife to fend for herself. This definitely impacts her life today with this man. The crazy thing about this is in real life, she met him on a boat in Ireland. Synchronicities abound! There’s a lot more to this story but I don’t want to spoil it all in this post and encourage you to listen to the podcast. Learn more about a reading with Ronnie Past Lives, Present Miracles I also talked about a book I read recently by Denise Linn called Past Lives, Present Miracles. In it, one of my favorite parts was how the author says you can change things in the past using your mind to change the present. Her stories were exceptional. The exercise sounded so powerful, I told my friend about it and we both gave it a shot. It was amazing and I share about a past life that ended with my head being lopped off and how I changed that tragic ending. This is a story that has a lasting impact on me. Enjoy the podcast and if you enjoy it please leave me a good review on iTunes.     The post This Past Life Returner Sailed The Seas In Many Lives appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

LaToya Zavala, Spiritual Inner Power Coach, helps women release blocks and triggers to free up from self-sabotage and become more authentic. You’ll hear all about how she made this transformation herself in this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. Domestic Violence Survivor My guest is an amazing woman who is a survivor of domestic violence and now coaches other women to stand in their power. Growing up in Boston, she was in a domestically violent relationship as a young woman that ruined her credit and left her at zero. LaToya pulled herself together and wanted to go to school, but didn’t have the money. A friend suggested she get her education in another country where its less expensive. So, she got a job, saved up, and moved to Mexico to study. From there she went to teach English in Kazakhstan which was quite an adventure as you can imagine. A Chaplain in the US Navy Later, she joined the US Navy and was stationed for a while in Japan. LaToya did a lot to heal herself along the way, both with traditional methods, as well as having a pastoral advisor and other spiritual help. Having gone down this road to survive and thrive, she wanted to help other women do the same from a spiritual perspective. To do this, she got both her Bachelor’s and Masters’ degree in Divinity. LaToya worked in a hospital as a chaplain for a while, with people who were suicidal, as well as victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. In the navy, there was a concentrated effort to battle against these problems. She knew this would be a great way to help people heal non-clinically, using spiritual tools. Working in the Mental Health Field Adding more tools along the way like Reiki and EFT Tapping. Sometimes she works alone with clients, or in conjunction with clinical psychologists, and often after a client’s therapy had been completed. One of her greatest joys was helping women with these traumatic situations, and being part of their healing journey. A Powerful Motivational Speaker I also asked LaToya about her motivational speaking and the spiritual angle she incorporates. She said this country is be coming more understanding of how spirituality is a part of everything. We are mind, body, and spirit. The idea of love, forgiveness and being accepted are spiritual concepts as is the energy that drives and defines who we are as a human race and a people. Reconnecting with the energy of healing and transformation is also spiritual. She focuses on personal trauma, but also the collective trauma of women that is lodged within us. If you experience self-sabotaging behaviors, think about what the energy is behind that. What story are you telling yourself? Listen to more on healing trauma by clicking here. It’s time to divest yourself from that identity, belief and projection that was placed on you. This is not your authentic self. The truth is people are born with drive and positive belief in themselves organically from birth. Learning to walk, fall down and get up again is a perfect example. But somehow, somewhere, things changed and women begin to doubt themselves. This is not the same with most men. Disempowering Beliefs Are Not Yours It’s a revelation to realize these disempowering beliefs are not yours. Releasing them changes everything. She works hard to help women release these adopted blocks that are not true, but are learned and part of the collective conscious. When you combine cultural, societal, religious conditioning and oppression that has been around for millennia, this is really a type of psychological abuse of the female identity. That’s where self-sabotage, indecisiveness, and low self esteem come from. It’s been learned over thousands of years. For example, indecisiveness is a symptom of trauma and not trusting yourself. Ask yourself why you don’t trust yourself and discover what that is about for you. Redefining Words Like Confidence & Pride LaToya shared several common words that have surprising definitions. The true meaning of confidence is self-assurance arising from your appreciation of your qualities and abilities. Do you appreciate yourself? Where did you get the idea it’s bad to brag about yourself? This is not in your DNA. It’s been learned and put upon women to hold us down and back. Here’s another interesting word – pride. The definition of pride is being able to celebrate your achievements. What’s wrong with that? Nothing! Yet, there’s a pervasive attitude about women who are braggadocios and need to be more humble. Men are not told this! The definition of humble is having a low estimate of one’s importance. Why is that good? Who drenched women with this idea? Let’s think about the energy of this. I Am the Storm One of LaToya’s speeches is entitled, “I Am the Storm.” She gave this speech at a gathering of the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution). While storms do damage, they also help clear what needs to be cleared. Beliefs, policies, practices and laws that have kept women down for generation after generation won’t change with a gentle wind. It’s going to require a massive storm to tear this all down. LaToya says you can become the storm that shifts, clears and tears down what needs to be changed. Think about the eye of the storm – a place where there is peace and calm. This is where you connect with your convictions, purpose, and mission. That center and core is where you can reside and your behavior and passion are those winds that swirl around you. A storm is just chaotic energy until it organizes and comes together. So, like the storm, allow that passion, purpose and true self to organize who you are and what you stand for. Then you are organized to be the storm that can make the changes. You have been through many storms, but now is the time to get to the center of the storm, and become the storm you are meant to be. Then women can work on making this change together! There’s more that LaToya and I talked about that was so inspiring which you’ll hear when you listen to the podcast.
