  In this brief Podcast Snack, I am celebrating the milestone of 100 episodes! (This is 101 LOL) Yay! It’s been quite a journey for me. You’ll hear about some of my favorite interviews and a topline view of the different topics I’ve covered over the last two years. It’s been wonderful to have met so many fabulous people who are experts about spirituality and healing. There have been shows about the Law of Attraction for love and money, dating and finding love, narcissists, divorce and divine feminine energy. I’ve spoken to shamans, healers, psychics, mediums, and card readers too. Experts have talked about how to communicate with plants, elementals, and faeries. Others shared about spiritual travel, cardology, synchronicities and the list goes on. After all, there are 100 different episodes! You might even want to scroll back to see what past episodes you missed that could be fun to listen to today. Thanks a million for listening and being a part of the Breathe Love & Magic community.

Psychic development is for everyone! In this week’s episode, I’m speaking with Lisa Rusczyk from the We’re All Psychic podcast about her journey and how she learned to tune in. How Did She Develop Psychic Abilities? It all started with her mom purchasing the Time-Life book series called The Mysteries when she was 15. In the book about psychic powers was a section on palmistry which totally captivated her. Lisa was really into this. Then in her 20s, spirits started to speak to her and she worried she was a little bit crazy. This was hard to explain away. However, she was getting validation about the spirits she was seeing and speaking to from people, so she kept going. Lisa also has spirit guides she works with and they started showing up around age 23. She’s been working with Sam since then. For Lisa, her mediumship skills began when her cat Morgana died and started coming around in spirit. Lisa says her cat taught her how to read tarot cards and has a way of telling things to her clients that’s very well received. She can also read your pets, although she admits she’s not good at finding those that have gotten lost. We’re All Psychic Lisa decided to start her own podcast We’re All Psychic to meet other people who are interested in the same stuff. I recently appeared on her show which was a lot of fun. You can listen here. First, she recorded about six episodes which aired but then she let it go for a while. Then she met her co-host Misty Lohr. Misty had taken her tarot class and then said she had a message for her, “Pursue the podcast.” At the time, Lisa was working for the platform Everclear, so she decided to simply ask them if they would sponsor her podcast and they said yes! She also asked if she could interview other psychics which they agreed to. Lisa was so excited! This access gave her the ability to speak with some very talented psychics and healers which has been a lot of fun. Psychic Development and Mediumship One guest that stands out is Bee Woo. She’s a screen writer who writes comedy, she lives in New York as well as evidential mediumship and psychic work. Bee invited Lisa and Misty to her psychic and mediumship circles, so they could observe conducted on zoom. There might be six in the group and people wait to get visuals and say what they see out loud. Then if it makes sense to you, you claim it. This method of psychic development was new to her, so she was really glad to have this experience. Whenever I go to mediums, my mom loves to show up. However, Lisa told me there was a tall man with salt and pepper  hair, a bushy mustache, and a plaid shirt. She said he was with my father, but I didn’t know who that was. But he could have been another relative. Lisa did connect with my mom, spotting her short curly hair and her love for gold and diamond jewelry – spot on! My mom told her that I make more of an impact than I think I do. Well that’s nice to hear mom! How to Develop Psychic Abilities Lisa works on a psychic hotline, does readings, and has plans to teach classes in 2023. She’s going to offer all sorts of divination workshops to get people used to using their intuition. Classes will cover oracle cards, tarot, psychic development, and mediumship. Also, in her podcast, the most listened to episode is on palmistry, so they’ll be teaching that as well, plus using the pendulum, and last but not least, magic classes. Now you have lots of ways to learn psychic development! If you are interested, go to her website and fill out the poll on which classes you’d like to take and she’ll notify you when they are scheduled. Lisa and I agree that we ventured into the spiritual world to work on our lives and do personal and spiritual development. That’s one of the best reasons to start your own journey. BIO – Lisa Rusczyk Lisa Rusczyk is a cohost of the podcast We’re All Psychic, with cohost Misty Lohr. She started the podcast to meet more people and to help teach others about the Mysteries of energy work. Her goal is to bring more happiness and love into each person’s life by offering the wisdom of ourselves and our guests.

In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, you’ll hear a fascinating tale about the origins of Santa. You Won’t Believe Who Santa Really Was! This encore presentation from 2021 will open your eyes to legends and lore about the origins of Santa. As you discover how the idea was borrowed from indigenous people in the northern most areas of the globe, you’ll be amazed at where all the details came from. From Nordic lands to Russian and Mongolia, ancient peoples welcomed a Goddess who flew her sleigh across the sky. She did this on the darkest day of the year at the time of the Winter Solstice to bring the sun back to earth. Better still, find out how the reindeer that flew her sleigh into the night sky were all female! One of the most interesting facts is that only the doe keeps her antlers during the cold winter months. Forget Donner and Blitzen and think Heather and Heidi. Why the Church Turned Santa into a Jolly Man It’s time to give the female shamans and deer credit for this celebration. What once honored the Deer Mother and the cycles of the year, shifted to a male dominated Christmas story hundreds of years ago. Why you ask? It was all in an effort to woo and convert Pagans to Christianity. Learn about how female shamans connected with the Deer Mother for the good of the people. We’ll explore lore, legends, and ancient rituals traditionally lead by women to celebrate a Happy Winter Solstice. Honoring the Deer Mother harkens back to a time when the earth was much colder and reindeer were far more common. Siberian legends include the deer and the shamans using the red and white psychedelic mushrooms to journey. They went to the upper levels where they communed with the Gods. This is one reason Santa and reindeer are associated with red and white designs. Tracing Santa Through Art History Traditions have been traced back through art including rustic symbols and drawings. The art shows a reverence for the life-giving deer that provided sustenance including milk, fur, clothing, etc. I was thrilled to find this story last year and thought I would share it again in 2022, to help more people discover this surprising bit of pre-history. Here’s my complete post from last year with amazing photos, originally published by Danielle Prohom Olson on her incredible blog GatherVictoria.com. Her headline read: Doe, A Deer, A Female Reindeer: The Spirit of Winter Solstice (2021) Happy Winter Solstice!

Ready to learn about soul mates, karma, and reincarnation? Dr. Andrea Shakarian and I talk about her unique way of uncovering past lives in this week’s episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. Discovering Soul Mates and Past Lives Dr. Andrea Shakarian is a chiropractor and certified hypnotherapist who has a keen interest and skill at uncovering past lives for her patients. However, her method is rather unique. She uses her chiropractic skill of muscle testing to reveal and pinpoint the place and timing of a specific past life. How cool is that? Since she was a young child, Andrea dabbled in the spirit world. Her family openly talked about having conversations with angels and spirits. Dr. Brian Weiss Got Her Started Years ago, she heard Dr. Brian Weiss talk about past lives on the Oprah show. That got her started. Then she spirits started communicating during her dreams and sometimes provided messages for to deliver to other people as well. Andrea has always loved the idea of having a soul mate – it seems so romantic and this is how she got into learning about soul mates and twin flames. She felt she could recognize people on a soul level. We often reincarnate with a group of people which is part of our “soul family”. However, soul mates and past lives aren’t always romantic and twin flames are frequently the most difficult relationships going because you are working with a specific lesson. You’ll learn a lot but it won’t be easy and there are times when this is not a lasting or healthy connection. The point might be about healing and ascending, rather than enjoyment, which pretty much sums up soul mates, karma, and reincarnation. We Are All One Dr. Shakarian has also studied Zen Buddhism and the concept that we are all one and she talks about how this factors into your relationships as well. According to the Kabbalah, we are all one, and originally, we were sparks of light contained in one vessel that broke open and dispersed. Now we are trying to get back to the source. Andrea did a reading for one client who had lost their romantic partner early in life and was devastated. The partner came through during mediumship to say that they’d be back again in this life as a walk-in. That was a big surprise to Dr. Andrea, having never encountered that before, and she hesitated to convey that message. But she did. The spirit insisted her client would recognize their soul when it comes back. I mentioned how this sounded a little bit like the movie Heaven Can Wait with Warren Beatty and Julie Christie which is one of my all-time favorites – an oldie but goodie! Soul Mates, Karma, and Reincarnation A couple came to Andrea struggling with a control issue and wanted help to understand where this was coming from. Through her muscle-testing method, Dr. Andrea discovered a past life in the ancient Mediterranean area. One had been royalty and the other had been a servant, and they were having a forbidden love affair. Then there was betrayal and a murder attempt which was all very brutal. Bringing this to light was very healing for the couple. Similarly, I did a reading for a woman who was having terrible fights with her husband who wanted to understand what was behind that. I discovered she and her husband had been brothers in the Texas oil business back in the early 1900s. They fought like crazy after their father died because he had not created a proper succession plan. Going back further, another life appeared where they were again brothers, but this time on opposite sides of the US Civil War. I explained, when you think about it, fighting in a marriage is not as drastic as that, so things between them seemed to be improving and we both laughed. Ready for your past life reading? Past Life Work Is Not Always Pretty Some people think looking at past lives is going to be a fun adventure and great story to tell. While that can be true, the real purpose is to access a higher perspective about the lessons you’re learning in this lifetime and how the past plays into that. It’s usually not a romantic journey with castles and unicorns. However, there is a lot much to learn and it can be incredibly healing. Common Themes in Past Lives Andrea asked me what some common lessons are that I have noticed with soul mates, and past lives. We talked about: Power struggles Worthiness Standing up for yourself Taking care of yourself Abandonment Betrayal Here’s the best thing about past life recall. Looking into your past with soul mates, karma, and reincarnation does offer amazing insights and can be very helpful when it comes to forgiveness. If you see what you have done to others and the errors you’ve made, it can help you have compassion for that soul in this life for what they are doing wrong now. And also, compassion for yourself which can be HUGE. Keep in mind that you are witnessing your soul’s growth. That’s the point. This doesn’t mean you have to stay together or put up with bad behavior or treatment. But these insights sometimes help you forgive which often can be the way to ascend the problems. Letting it go rather than holding on to hatred or your wounds, frees up your energy. Akashic Records Readings Andrea and I talked about doing formal Akashic Records readings about soul mates and past lives and how the structure is great when you start out. Now, we have both simplified the process and just get to it, without a lot of ritual. But it’s important that everyone do this work in the way that works best for them. 15 questions to ask in an Akashic Records reading Past Lives Present Miracles Denise Linn wrote this amazing book that I just read called Past Lives Present Miracles. (I love Denise who is a prolific author on many spiritual topics.) She says you can change the result of your past life right today. The author said she had conducted massive workshops with 500-1,000 people and they would do this together with powerful results. I’m not sure how you can mess with time, but perhaps you are just changing the energetic residue. The conversation covered many interesting facets of soul mates, karma and reincarnation, so if this is your thing, you’re going to love this episode.

Curious about essential oils for protection, anointing, and reprogramming your beliefs? Listen to world renowned Aromatic Alchemist, Allison Stillman in this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. I am a huge fan of essential oils and when I use them, I work with the emotional benefits that come from the plants, in the same way Bach Flower remedies work. My favorite right now is Green Mandarin which is all about pure potential – yeah baby! The Sacred Art of Anointing Let’s talk about Allison’s new book, The Sacred Art of Anointing. I asked Allison to explain what anointing means. She said when you anoint something or someone, you take a consecrated oil or water and rub it on specific spots, making them sacred and divine. For example, you might take a drop or two of lavender and anoint your heart or the crown of your head. Doing this, you are declaring that you are sacred and divine and putting that out to the universe. As you go out into the world, you carry that with you. We’ve seen this in ancient cultures and Allison’s own recollection is of ancient Egypt where the priests and priestesses conducted elaborate anointing ceremonies. Many of our modern-day sacraments from religious traditions are based on these ancient rights. As individuals, we lost the right to do this for ourselves because it became taboo during the inquisition with a deep fear of going against the church. This is true for anointing or using essential oils for protection. Woman with the Alabaster Jar It wasn’t into the 1920s that aromatherapy came back to the world. Allison was one of the first people to bring anointing back through a serendipitous and magical experience. She recalled her life as an Egyptian priestess doing these rights. I got chills! This lead me to bring up the book Woman With the Alabaster Jar which traces the belief that Mary Magdalene and Jesus were married by looking at art through the ages. The author talks about the Bible story where Mary anointed Jesus by rubbing expensive oils (spikenard) on his feet. This book claims this was an ancient marriage rite of the time, while others say Mary was preparing him for burial. That’s a good example of using essential oils for protection. Raising Your Frequency with Essential Oils Allison listed the holy oils including spikenard, frankincense and myrrh, sandalwood and Palo Santo. They have psychoactive properties inducing a visionary state which is why the Catholic and Greek churches burn the resin as people come in, encouraging a meditative state. Placing the oils on the reflex points of your feet has an incredible effect on the body. There’s been research on a raising the frequency of the body’s organs by applying essential oils to the feet. So, that part of the story remains true. In addition, the palms of your hands, the soles of your feet and the length of your spine all play a role of reading the energy and adding to your intuition. Allison pointed out the aura or electromagnetic field, is a vibratory field three feet out around our bodies. Essential Oils and the Energy Field In fact, the Hearthmath Institute measured the energy from the heart to eight feet outside the body! With this in mind, Allison Stillman has a friend who is skilled at seeing auras, so they did an experiment. Allison smelled frankincense and her friend said she had never seen this happen before but she saw the color gold come into her energy field. The only other time she had seen this was when looking at pictures of Jesus and Buddha that also had gold in their auras (which still remains for those who have this gift of sight.) Smelling essential oils and putting them on your body helps to close up any holes in your field. This is another example of using essential oils for protection. Essential oils impact not only kill bacteria and viruses, but also work on an emotional and spiritual level. Using essential oils to consecrate your body every day is the fastest way Allison has ever encountered to awaken divinity. She has plenty of experience as a healer including a sound therapist, massage, energy work, and a Reiki Master. Nothing is as powerful at bringing in divinity and knowing the truth of who you are as essential oils. Oils Help You Stand in Your Power I moved on to ask about standing in your power. If you are connecting with your divine energy how does that relate to standing in your power? Do you make a connection? Allison says absolutely! We are spiritual beings in a human body having a human experience purely to know ourselves in this way. In Neal Donald Walsh’s book Conversations with God, he talked about why we have suffering fear and pain in the world. The reason for these negative experiences is that they provide contrast so you can value love, joy, unity, and harmony even more. Without the opposite expression, its hard appreciate the incredible state of love, unity, and oneness. Essential oils for protection keep you safe so you can lift your vibe. Releasing Old Patterns with Essential Oils Allison studied for years with Bob Proctor and Joe Dispenza. Bob’s work is about getting to the bottom of old belief systems. He suggests choosing a goal that is beyond what you think is possible and focus on it. Doing this helps you come up with new ways to manifest that you wouldn’t be able to see otherwise. Oils are the fastest way to access the emotional and behavioral centers of the brain. Also, the amygdala which stores long-term memory, is accessible quickly through the sense of smell. So, it came to her that if you could combine Proctor’s work with essential oils, you could clear programs so fast in people! The Subconscious Mind Humans are run by programs buried in the subconscious mind that go back to age five. That’s when you came up with beliefs to survive this world of suffering. Essential oils get into the brain and awaken that subconscious awareness. Next, use an affirmation said in a very specific manner, plus aromatherapy to establish new memory in that amygdala. What a powerful combination to clear those programs very quickly and create new emotional and behavioral patterns. Sometimes essential oils are for protection, other times they help you release old patterns. Essential Oils Produce Amazing Shifts Allison had a good friend who wanted to buy her first house, but this seemed entirely out of reach for her. They did a session and she wanted to buy a home within one year. Together, they did deep work, created the affirmation and the oil for her. Just four months later, her friend sent an email saying she bought her home! Talking with Allison Stillman was powerful conversation about what is possible with essential oils: Her method to manage her energy while working at a n intense corporate job for 6 years How she works with a posse of angels that helped her with souls who passed during the Kosovo war How anointing with essential oils for protection keeps your energetic body safe How to call in your guardian angel to surround, empower and protect you The Living Mind of God coined by Stephen Hawkins History about aromatherapy, starting with lavender and tea tree oil How smell affects memory and your emotional life What a lively and expansive conversation with Allison!

Meet Lynn Robinson, bestselling author of Put Your Intuition to Work and popular speaker on the hot topic of intuition. She tells people how to tap into the power of their own inner GPS. Put Your Intuition to Work I just finished Lynn’s newest book and totally loved it. It was jam-packed with so many amazing and simple examples of how to use your intuition on the job or your personal life. Lynn’s whole business was launched by her intuition. She was working at an IT company near Boston and knew she didn’t want to do this “When she grew up,” LOL. She was working with a coach and longed to be self-employed, wanted to do something with counseling people, and was fascinated by intuition and spirituality. Her coach was the one who got her started using the Law of Attraction, visualizing, and writing down her wishes. Following Her Intuition Then, a friend passed away and she went to his funeral. Have you ever had a situation when you intend to do one thing, but do another? She intended to sit near a friend. But the internal voice directed her to sit next to someone she didn’t know. She wondered what that suggestion was all about. But then when the service was over, they started chatting and the woman asked what she did for a living. Instead of talking about the software company, Lynn mentioned her idea of starting an intuitive business. Turns out the woman was a writer for the Boston Globe and wanted a reading! Hear more about developing intuition in this episode Intuition Launched Lynn’s Business Yes, she wrote an article about Lynn Robinson, and that totally launched her new career as she got 500 clients booked from that one article! Can you imagine? Lynn says your intuition can show up through an inner voice, a gut feeling, or a knowing about something. So, walking into the funeral service, she just knew she had to sit next to that woman. A couple of things make this quite powerful: She heard something intuitively She acted on the message! Intuition is a skill, so the more you use it and work it, the better you get at it. With time, your intuition may develop other qualities like a sense of calm or a directness of the suggestions. Different Ways People Receive Messages Then, Lynn Robinson asked me how intuition comes to me. I told my own story about hearing intuition and following through. You can listen to the whole story in the podcast but, here’s bottom line. A candle fell out of the holder and was lying on it’s side charring my dining room table because I ignored the intuition I heard! Lesson learned! We don’t all get intuition the same way – there are many ways that it can come to you including as a voice, a sense, a feeling in your body, or an image in your mind. Here’s one way Lynn suggests to start to trust to your intuition for decision making. If you feel excited, interested compelled, that’s a good sign and worth following. However, if something brings you down, that’s more of a warning to move away from that option. Don’t Talk Yourself Out Of It Often people talk themselves out of following their intuition, thinking they are protecting themselves. But intuition will help you move out of your comfort zone, so while it may feel risky, it truly is good guidance. I also asked my guest, “How do you know if the message is one of fear or intuition? Lynn’s response was so obvious – why didn’t I think of it – ask! Ask yourself what is the source of the information? Is this fear or is it a warning? Great advice! Lynn Robinson likes to do intuitive readings for entrepreneurs. She has found that many are actively using their intuition, even if they aren’t aware of it or calling it that. They often keep pen and paper near by to jot down thoughts as they come in. For example, while interviewing potential new hires, note down the candidate’s strengths and weaknesses, if they’d get along with the team, and if hiring them will work out. We have much more knowledge within than we may be aware of. Learn more about your inner wisdom Fear Can Get in the Way Gavin De Becker wrote The Gift of Fear which is a book about trusting your intuition. Lynn ascribes to the philosophy of, “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” She admitted she was terribly scared at first, when clients started coming to her and she had to deal with imposter syndrome. But your intuition helps you grow, which is why sometimes it’s good to get out of your comfort zone. I’ve been doing readings for over 30 years like Lynn, and on occasion I also still question myself. It’s natural. But when doing readings, you have to say what you get. The only time you might not is if the message is something horrifying and then you want to soften it a bit. In general though, editing stops the flow of information and is not advised. Be Open With Your Reader We both admitted that we really dislike when people play, “Test the psychic.” They won’t share anything, provide any reaction, or their body language is guarded. The truth is, the more open you are with the your reader, the better your reading will be.  That’s how you get your money’s worth! This is not to suggest that you should share lots of information before the reading – not at all. But you can say you agree, or what you find to be interesting, or how that has meaning for you. Or, that the information doesn’t resonate. What you are actually doing by asking a question or providing feedback is helping to open the energy exchange, which allows your reader can go deeper. Lynn made a prediction that I just loved! Think about how the coaching industry was just 10 years ago compared to now when many business have coaches on staff or hire on retainer. She feels the same thing will happen with professional intuitives! Star Trek Was Onto Something Then we laughed about the intuitive advisor on Star Trek’s the Next Generation, Deanna Troi. Today, many of the tried and true methods of doing business are no longer working. That’s why listening to your gut or getting intuitive advice can help or build confidence about a decision you’ve made. More Insights & Suggestions Lynn  Robinson told a great story about getting the winning lottery numbers for a drawing that was $5.2 million Permit yourself to explore when making a big decision and find out why this matters Small steps are very important to build your skills (we discussed Kaizen, a Japanese management method) How to manage your fear about change Why getting a reading can be extremely affirming Lynn has a bunch of entertaining quizzes on her website so make sure you visit and enjoy the fun!

The Fairy Realm and Ladies of the Lake come together to help humanity move into the New Earth. Bernadette Wulf reveals the true role of faeries in the Arthurian legend during this mystical interview. (Note: I’m going to be using “faeries” and “fairies” interchangeably throughout this post, so more people can find this episode when searching online.) The Fairy Realm Bernadette has always been interested in the fairy realm since she was a child. She didn’t play with the fairies as a kid, but always drawn to the fairy tales and knew there was something more to life than what she was being told. As an adult, she took shamanic journey courses to connect with the fairies and that’s when she started having experiences with them. I had never heard of shamanic journeying to connect with fairies – that was new to me! Bernadette mentioned several teachers John and Caitlin Matthews and RJ Stewart, Tom Cowan mostly connected to Celtic magical teachings and lore. These teachers provide guided journeys versus just drumming in the Native America tradition, and this helped her connect with the faeries in a strong way. The Sidhe and Tuatha de Da’an Today, she communicates with the Sidhe, (the Irish term for faeries who are descendants of the Tuatha de Da’an, a race God-like beings), plant devas, and weather elementals. Originally, we were the same race according to Bernadette’s studies, but humans went into denser energies while the Fae stayed in the fairy realm which is also called the etheric realm. This is the same place where nature spirits reside. Her strongest connection has been with the fairies of Avalon and from Arthurian legends. Since they live a lot longer than us, Bernadette says some are still actively trying to communicate with us because we share this planet, even though on a different dimensional level. They are working to remind us to take care of the planet, the animals, and the ecological systems. What we have done to the earth is impacting their world as well. While the nature spirits are working to create harmony, humans clear cut an entire forest which causes tremendous disruption to the energy of the area. The faeries are reaching out to convince us to do better and take care of the earth. Meditate to Meet the Faeries I asked about the group meditations she leads into the fairy realm. Recently Bernadette lead a journey to Avalon to meet with the Avalon Fairies. She’s also done journeys to meet the Sidhe, along with others. Whoever she works with are all very intent on bringing in the New Earth reality. We are unlimited beings and although it can take time to manifest what we want; we are here to create our reality. This is a co-creative reality and working with the faeries makes the process stronger. At times, talking about fairies can be confusing because there are the little fairies that work with nature and the Fae which are more human-like. The fairy means different things to different people. I asked about the elves from the Lord of the Rings series and Bernadette said they really are the Fae, but the author, Tolkien, didn’t like how the word had become a derogatory term for gay people. Listen to this podcast snack about the Faeries. Shamanic Journeys Then I was curious about her shamanic journeys to visit the fairy realm and I wanted to know if she goes with a bigger purpose or intent. How do people actually step into the New Earth now? Bernadette says her fairy guides nudge her until she puts a workshop together. She channels them during the workshop, allowing the faeries to lead the program. A recent program was created to allow Morgan le Fay to help participants clear their shadows. What do people come away with in terms of experience and knowledge. The World of Wonder, which is Bernadette’s free gift, allows people to see how the fairies see the world, where everything is malleable and beautiful. They bring in the arts music, singing and dancing. The new earth offers a sense of freedom to create the world and your life the way you want it to be. You get to have what you want and everyone can do it the way that suits them. Fairies & Healing I asked, “What’s been most surprising for you about doing this work for decades?” Initially, Bernadette’s approach to connecting with the faeries was more superficial. But now the work has gone much deeper. Most of the time she works with the same faeries, often with the Ladies of Avalon and a couple of elfin guides too. In the past it might have been true that the Sidhe could be nasty when you crossed them. But today, those stories have really quieted down. The worlds have separated more, so now the Fae who want to work with humans step forward and the ones that don’t stay clear. However, it’s essential to be honest and have integrity when working with the fairy realm. If you say you are going to do something, you better do it. They are very powerful, so never cross them and be sure to follow through on what you promise. That’s part of moving into the New Earth – becoming more conscious of how our actions impact things. Like our buying habits for example. People as where was this made and what will happen to it when I’m done with it. Arthurian Legends Curious about the Ladies of the Lake (also called Ladies of Avalon), I asked Bernadette to tell us a little more. She pointed out that they are shape shifters, so they can appear any way they want. In Arthurian legend, they were initiating the knights and appeared as ugly old hags. But if the knights followed through on their promises, they could marry the ladies who would then appear as beautiful. Bernadette sees them as tall and elegant. She got to know the Ladies of the Lake reading a lot of books about King Arthur, especially the earlier ones. As time went on and the church had more influence, they started demonizing the Fae women. The stories changed and became tainted. Morgan le Fay became someone evil, but originally she was the Queen of Avalon or High Priestess. As the story evolved over time, she became a temptress as Arthur’s half-sister, who pulled down the whole kingdom. That wasn’t her original role. Ladies of the Lake Guinevere was also originally from Avalon or the fairy realm, and volunteered to become human, marry Arthur and be his queen. This was done to anchor the energy of Camelot in the human world. In addition, Nimueh, who was Merlin’s girlfriend or wife, was demonized. The stories were changed to say she trapped Merlin in a tree or tower, but the couple actually worked together. He came and went freely, so this was not how the original legend was told. In the book, The Mists of Avalon, Marion Zimmer Bradley seems to have gone astray from the original story and according to Bernadette she had a more material way of looking at what transpired with the Ladies of the Lake. I had always loved this book, so was disappointed to hear this. Patriarchy Changed King Arthur’s Story As the Arthurian legend changed over the years, and the women were demoted in terms of importance, intent, and spirituality. Another example is the addition of Lancelot who was NOT part of the original story. In other words, in the original tale, Guinevere did not cheat on Arthur with Lancelot, since he didn’t even exist as part of the legend. I never thought about how poorly women were presented in this legend or that were amended by the church and the patriarchy. Good to know the women of Camelot were from the fairy realm and meant to remind of us our divine feminine spiritual nature. Phew! Bernadette shared a few books that are closer to the original legend. Faery Gates of Avalon Red Tree White Tree Guenevere and the Round Table Excalibur & the Sword in the Stone We explored other parts of the King Arthur story including the sword in the stone, Excalibur, and more. So, what is our take away from these stories? The point is to reconnect humanity with the sacred symbols and rebalance us. Today, the faeries want to awaken our spiritual side and divine feminine nature, which has been lost or repressed over the centuries as we moved deeper in to a patriarchal world. One reason these stories are so popular, is because they still ring a bell in human consciousness, reminding us that there is another reality and of our original spiritual makeup.

Ready for creating moments of joy and your dream life? Join me as I interview Colleen Coles, who developed the program Orgasmic Dream Life in this week’s episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. She Did Everything Right I asked Colleen how she got into this area of coaching and came up with the Orgasmic Dream Life program. She’s been a purpose alignment coach for seven years and started because she wanted to know more about her life purpose. During this awakening, she also met her man and got married. The sexual piece came from her own struggles of turning on her sexuality in her marriage. In high school and college, she had become a devout Catholic and vowed to not have sex before marriage. Colleen thought she had done everything right, but still had a hard time connecting with her husband, Michael, in the bedroom. This made her feel lack luster in her whole life and without passion. She really wanted to find her passion and purpose which brought her to coaching. Initially, Colleen was certified as a coach by Gabby Bernstein who talked about John of God. This inspired Colleen to visit his compound in Brazil and was grateful she followed her intuition because soon after he was shut down. After this awesome visit, she traveled around Brazil, did a bit surfing and was taken by the amazing energy. Yet, even though she had worked on her purpose by shifting into coaching, she still felt stuck in a box about her marriage and sexuality. The bottom line is Colleen got into this area of coaching because she herself needed it. That’s why she studied Tantra, the yoga of spirituality and experiencing that energetic and spiritual connection within sex. Her sensuality came alive in Brazil after surfing, and being around so many beautiful, sensual people there. And this awakening helps with creating moments of joy now. Visiting John of God Her trip to Brazil showed her that God and spirit could be found in physical life, like surfing ocean waves and feeling good in her body. There was no shame in feeling connected to God through her sexual energy. But in the past, these two worlds had always been separate and distinct, limiting her ability for creating moments of joy. Giving herself permission to feel good opened up a world of passion for her life and she found so much clarity. She busted through all the old rules she thought she had to follow which kept her life constrained and living without purpose. She returned home ready to clean up her life and no longer willing to settle. This new attitude helped everything, from her marriage and her spiritual connection, to coaching and income. It was just phenomenal. The point is to do what you want and feel called to do. Otherwise, when you shut down, it restricts the root and sacral chakras and the flow of life force energy. Sensual Awakening in Brazil In the past, she had been following her religious beliefs, which created a conflict. I wanted to know how she got past the rift between religion vs. her new experiences. At her first Gabby Bernstein event, she did a meditation and came to realize, “This is why I am here – to connect with spirit. We are all trying to find connection back to God.” She wanted more and since the religious route didn’t work out, she went for the spirituality. Before this shift, her sexual relationship with her husband wasn’t working, but she thought that’s just how it is and you have to put up with it. Then walking down the boardwalk in Rio, she and a friend stopped to talk to some people. A woman said to her, “You are so cute!’ and started kissing her out of the blue. Colleen wondered, “Whoa, did I like that or not like that?” She was feeling very different feelings she hadn’t felt before and was surprised how much sensual energy emerged while in Brazil. Turns out Colleen could be in her body and connect with nature and her sensuality all at the same time. The experience was available everywhere which made it much easier for creating moments of joy. Connecting with Herself and Spirit Connecting with her body and even into the shameful places, she faced them. Doing this, Colleen found what she’d been searching for all along – the connection between herself, spirit, nature, and God. She felt like God had been waiting for her to experience all of this. What a huge shift! Colleen’s program, Orgasmic Dream Life, covers manifesting with your intuition and sexual energy. I took the program because Colleen said she’d cover ways to find more joy in life. That’s all I needed to hear – I was in. For more on creating joy, check out this podcast snack. The Sexual Psychological Feminine Split There is something within all women called the sexual psychological feminine split. Women have been conditioned in a way that often leads to being your normal self 90% of the time, and sexual 10% of the time. It means most women only allow their sensuality to show up 10% of the time when “appropriate,” maybe once a week and then this part gets hidden away again. However, humans are 100% life force energy and are not created to live in this fragmented way. Sadly, many women have been conditioned like this. But, you can be your complete self and sexual, which will super charge your life, bring more clarity, and help you better connect with your intuition. Intuition, especially for women, resides in the body and there is a connection between the third eye and sacral chakras. This is all part of creating moments of joy and recognizing them as they happen. Intuition Is Within the Body In the past, Colleen looked outside herself for her intuition, but it was within her all along. When she allowed herself to have more fun and feel more pleasure in her body, she discovered greater clarity and could hear her intuition far better too. When you combine joyful passion with intuition, it’s like rocket fuel. This allows you to feel what’s natural, so you can take action more quickly and enjoy life more fully. Let it be simple, connecting with the sensual life force energy. The sacral chakra is the center of creation, so yes, it’s for creating new human lives, but also for creativity like painting, music, and dance. This is how you connect with your own creative life force. Creating Moments of Joy We also talked about a number of other topics that Colleen explored such as: Allowing herself to be more alive and live more fully Connecting with her “I Am” energy of her solar plexus How feeling stuck in her sexuality also meant she was stuck in her business How being open to pleasure opened up possibilities in other areas of her life Facing her biggest fear of being a turned on, sensual woman could ruin her marriage How taking this chance paid off in every area of her life How taking Colleen’s class opened me to more fun and joy This was a lively, fascinating conversation that explored some previously taboo topics with a fresh and down-to-earth point of view.

In this episode, a podcast snack, I’ll be talking about how to handle denser energies and raise your vibe with these four warm suggestions. Dense Energies Have Been Draining The energy leading up to the US election was very dense and heavy. Add to that the full moon with an eclipse, and there was a lot to make the energy feel draining. It’s been making me feel so tired! What about you? My solution to the stress and heavy energy of the collective is to go to the beach as much as possible during the warmer summer months. But here in Connecticut, it’s November. So, I’m not going to the beach anymore. Sadly, the season is over! Then I was talking to my friend, Carrie. We got together to have lunch and sit outside in this warm spell (but not warm enough for the beach) and we were both talking about the dense energy and feeling tired. As always, we decided to use our intuition and ask spirit for guidance on how to handle things when the energy gets dense like it has been. We were looking for advice and understanding from a spiritual or energetic perspective. Lift Dense Energy We put it out to spirit, asking for help to feel lighter, lifted, and happier. The message I got really surprised me but thinking about it for a while, the ideas to raise your vibe made so much sense. First, be out in nature as much as possible. Nature is an incredible healing force for human beings. When you can be outside, like at the beach, it helps clear your energy lift your frequency, and all those things that make us feel better. It’s a great place to release stuff and let go. In addition, humans naturally collect a lot of positive ions which doesn’t sound like a problem but it is. We feel better with more negative ions.  At the beach or near any body of water, you attract negative ions which clear and balance you out. This is also true of being in the rain and probably taking a shower. I also love the warmth of the sun on my skin, which feels so good even though it does have some drawbacks for the skin. But I tend to go at the end of the day and don’t stay too long. There’s nothing else like it for me to clear my energy and raise my vibration. Recently, I even had this silly idea that maybe I was a cat in a past life since they love napping in the sunshine. Just kidding. How to Raise Your Vibe The message I got from spirit to help with the denser energies that do crop up were surprising. When the weather turns and you can’t stay outside in nature too long because it’s cold, here are some simple alternatives to raise your vibe: Take a hot shower Take a hot bath Use a heating pad Drink a cup of hot chocolate, tea, or coffee These are all really soothing and warm suggestions. Then it occurred to me. When you go to the beach or outside in the warmth, you are warm. You are more comfortable so your energy expands. Now when your energy field is expanded you are generally in a happier state. Isn’t that interesting? Physical Warmth Raises Your Vibe So, this message from spirit provides a way to expand your energy field, even if you can’t be happy in every moment. It’s a way to be relaxed and expanded, to life your spirit automatically. You can use these warm suggestions. Just the idea of sipping a cup of hot chocolate sounds amazingly soothing and uplifting to me. So, as we move into the colder months of the year, or when other periods of denser energy come upon us, now you know what you can do to shift your frequency and raise your vibe. I look forward to lifting my vibration with the warmth of these suggestions and I hope you will too. I’m always looking for ways to find more joy, lift me out of a lower vibe when things are aggravating and ways to sustain joy, connection or higher vibration. It never would have occurred to me on my own, that by warming my physical body, I could elevate my energetic or emotion bodies, lift my mood and raise my vibe. A big thanks goes out to spirit for providing these super simple, cozy tips. May your life in the magic of these warm suggestions as the cold comes upon us to easily raise your vibe.
