Breathe Love & Magic

In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, my guest is a free-spirited artist and wanderer at heart, committed to self-discovery through feminine archetypes, art, and her nomadic lifestyle, traveling the globe. 7 Feminine Archetypes When I stumbled upon Anna Heimkreiter’s work on the web, I was immediately drawn to her beautiful art and the intriguing concept of feminine archetypes. Her website offered a feminine archetypes quiz to discover which one resonates with you. Turns out I am the Huntress archetype. No surprise there, given my love for freedom and independence! Anna discovered these feminine archetypes on her journey of self-discovery and artistic expression. They are symbolic representations of divine feminine traits and roles, offering insights into diverse expressions of femininity that can guide personal growth. She focuses on just seven archetypes, each one holding its own unique beauty and complexity: Mother: Loving, nurturing, warm and supportive Maiden: Curious, growth-oriented, innocent, and playful Huntress: Independent and free, strong, and courageous Mystic: Intuitive, insightful, calm, and balanced Queen: Leader, personal power, confident, and uplifting Sage: Self-mastery, clarity, rational, and wise Lover: Passionate, intimate, magnetic, and sensual Exploring Archetypes Anna’s journey into the world of feminine archetypes began five years ago when a friend introduced her to masculine archetypes. This sparked her curiosity, and she went on to delve deeply into understanding the feminine side. She resonated with the concept of the seven archetypes and found inspiration through Jean Shinoda Bolen’s book, Goddesses in Older Women, which explains these archetypes in connection to Greek mythology. Her exploration led her to create an illustration series representing seven archetypes, the 7 feminine archetype quiz, and her archetype workbooks for self-exploration. Anna believes these feminine models help us understand ourselves better and inspire growth and empowerment. A Roadmap for Personal Growth We discussed how these archetypes can provide a roadmap for growth, for reflection on your developed traits or as aspirational models. Anna shared how embracing the lover archetype, which felt distant to her, enriched her life. Focusing on the strengths and shadows of these archetypes will help you understand your wounds and heal them. Anna’s art and her explorations of the archetypes are closely entwined, providing an avenue for creative self-expression and growth. Creativity is more than just producing work; it’s a path for introspection and connection to your emotions. Her Independent Path Anna’s nomadic lifestyle has been inspired by the Huntress’s desire for freedom and adventure. Her travels started young, with long trips during her studies that spiraled into longer wanderings. Meeting seasoned travelers and experiencing various cultures fueled her desire to live without geographical confines. Her experiences also include spiritual practices like meditation and yoga, which she explored more deeply during her time in Thailand. Anna’s spiritual path has included psychedelics as well, which have taught her about connection and introspection. I was curious about how Anna supports her nomadic lifestyle. She explained that she now works remotely in marketing and her art provides additional income. By living simply and traveling slowly, she keeps her expenses surprisingly low. Workbooks and Wisdom Anna has developed a series of workbooks that delve into each of the seven feminine archetypes. These resources combine her love for introspection, psychology, and creativity. Each workbook provides exercises, journaling prompts, and frameworks to explore the archetypes, including their light and shadow sides. Through these carefully crafted exercises, Anna guides you to discover insights about patterns you harbor, and areas for potential growth.  Designed to bridge the gap between curiosity and self-awareness, the workbooks nurture a unique journey for each reader. Reflect on the Journey Reflecting on her journey, Anna remains open to what’s next while staying grounded in all that she’s experienced. Her creative and spiritual path continues to unfold, inspiring those who encounter her work. Anna Heimkreider most definitely lives by her own design.

In this episode, I share a fascinating past life reading for my client, Bella. She came to me feeling stuck and uncertain about how to move forward and was seeking guidance that would help her get moving. This was a wise choice because exploring past lives often reveals patterns and insights that influence the present. Standing at the Crossroads Bella was at a crossroads, contemplating many diverse interests which left her feeling scattered and overwhelmed. She was searching for clarity, hoping that understanding her past lives would light her path forward. That’s why she came to me for a past life reading. After chatting, I entered the Akashic Records to uncover Bella’s soul history. The vision began at a lively carnival, reminiscent of the early 1900s in Europe. I saw Bella as a teenager, bouncing from activity to activity, embodying the Romani spirit. She had talents in performance, card reading, and acrobatics—yet she showed a pronounced fear of committing to one path, afraid of missing out on others. Lives Without Choice This fear stemmed from a number of lives where she focused on being of service. She was a nun several times, where her choices were well-defined and highly limited. This meant her personal desires took a backseat to the steep obligations of her religious life. Bella had experienced many such lifetimes across different cultures, spending most of her time in devotion. That’s why she lacked the freedom and skill to choose anything else. In other words, she had very little practice with decision making. While these roles enriched her soul with wisdom, they also left her unprepared for the abundance of choices she faced today. Skills from Your Past Lives Exploring more deeply, additional similar lives emerged. Bella had walked this Earth as a Buddhist monk as well as a devotee in other religions. However, one life did stand out, when she worked closely with plants in ancient Egypt. She held significant knowledge about agriculture, plants, and earth magic. The messages from her past life reading were clear—embrace the innate talents garnered through several incarnations with the plant world. Bella possessed a natural connection to plants, herbs, and potions for healing. Today, she has the opportunity to consciously choose a path with newfound freedom. Career Options vs. Hobbies Given this latest information, Bella saw her struggle more as a gift of choice rather than a burden. While she has many interests like painting, singing, and dancing, her inherent skills in herbalism and plants seemed the most relevant to earn a living now. Then she could pursue creative activities as hobbies and enjoy her talents rather than trying to support herself with them. The past life reading offered Bella the chance to see why she struggled to choose a direction for her career. She also learned the importance of distinguishing between work and play. In this way, she can work at something she’s already good at, without abandoning her creative pursuits. Decide & Get Moving The most crucial insight from the session was the need to get started. Rather than continuing to deliberate, it was essential to take that first step with courage. Moving forward is not about patience as much as it is about doing something. By reflecting on her past, Bella realized she could leverage her ancient wisdom to craft a vibrant, purposeful life right now. The journey through her past with a past life reading reminded her that embracing choice and making decisions helps you get unstuck and moving again. When you start taking action, things tend to start falling into place. What about you? If you’d like a past life reading click here to learn more. The post Feeling Stuck?

Before I get into the podcast topic of what are you grateful for today, first I want to share some big news. Can you believe it’s already been three years since I started this podcast? Over 200 Episodes! I was quite surprised to find more than 200 episodes have been published! (I don’t number them so I lost track – LOL.) I’m having a moment of immense gratitude, especially with the Thanksgiving holiday in the US, just around the corner. I truly appreciate each listener who has joined me weekly on this magical journey. When I hear from you, it fills my heart with joy and reminds me of the incredible listeners I have. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and for embracing my suggestions and insights. Now, in the spirit of gratitude, I want to dive into my personal gratitude practice—how I’ve simplified it and how you can incorporate it into your life. The Art of the Gratitude Journal Gratitude is more than a journaling exercise – it’s a way of life! Expressing your gratitude and writing about what you are grateful for today is a strong way to lift your spirits and vibration. You want to get beyond simply listing what you appreciate—it’s about feeling the joy and optimism that gratitude inspires. I noticed a significant change in my outlook when I started noting these small yet wonderful daily blessings in my gratitude journal. So how do I do it? I write in the morning, capturing significant and everyday moments. Whether it’s the sunshine after a rain storm or a fun conversation with a friend, it’s important to recognize these smaller bits of joys. By pushing yourself to appreciate new things consistently, your capacity for gratitude deepens. This simple gratitude practice can enhance and shift your life perspective remarkably. Practice Gratitude Daily Another step in my practice involves taking action and self-care—what I call filling my love tank.” It’s vital to acknowledge the actions you take daily and the ways you cherish yourself. Anything positive can be self-care, from a day at the beach, or a call with a dear friend, to any activity that feeds your soul. These moments fill your self-care tank and enhance gratitude. Every day, jot down these actions that bring you joy alongside your gratitude list. Don’t forget affirmations! At the bottom of my journal page, I write affirmations that reflect what I’m manifesting or aspiring toward in my life. These powerful statements act as reminders of the goals I’m working on. And, like gratitude, they help me maintain a positive outlook. Share Gratitude with Others Sharing gratitude with others can be profoundly connecting. Tell people in your life what you appreciate about them. Let them know why you’re grateful they are in your life. Acknowledging something little, even their smile or laugh, can lift someone’s spirit. Every night, my husband and I share five things we’re grateful for before drifting off to sleep. This bedtime ritual is not only a nice way to end our day positively, but also strengthens our bond. If you’re single, no worries! You can do this on your own or with your kids, or even your pet. The goal is to keep gratitude flowing. What are you grateful for today. Take time to stop and think about it. Remember, you don’t need to strive for perfection in your practice. If you miss a few days, just be gentle with yourself. Gratitude practice isn’t meant to be another thing on your to-do list, but instead a joyful ritual. Customize your gratitude to fit your lifestyle. Maybe a post it note on your bathroom mirror works better for you than a full journal entry. The key is to choose what resonates with you and keeps you engaged. Expand Your Gratitude If you’re having a tough day, try this go-to gratitude exercise. Write down 25 things you’re grateful for. Doing this shifts your focus to the abundance in your life. Once you start creating the list, you’ll find loads of options to include and appreciate. Get more specific by including things you love about different rooms in your house, or broader themes such as gratitude towards your career or relationships. This exercise helps shift your frequency to a higher vibration, unlocking more positivity and opening you up to future blessings. It’s a profound practice to ask what are you grateful for today, nurture your heart, and cultivate an appreciative mindset. Thanksgiving and Gratitude Thanksgiving is the time to embrace gratitude and shift your perspective if needed. Recognize the good that often goes unnoticed in your life. It’s always easy to see what’s lacking and going poorly. However, when you spend time focusing on what’s working in your world, you put your attention on the positive. As you know from the Law of Attraction, like attracts like and what you put your attention on grows. More than ever, the world needs more positive energy. When you consider – what are you grateful for today, you add to the positive energy that ripples out to everyone you come in contact with and then out to the world.

Ever felt the itch to change or reinvent yourself at 50+, but thought maybe it’s too late? In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, I had a fascinating conversation with Wendy Battles, the brilliant host of the Reinvention Rebels podcast. The Role of Intuition in Reinvention Wendy is a beacon of inspiration, sharing stories about women aged 50 to 90, who’ve dared to reinvent themselves. We talked about how intuition plays a huge role in personal transformation. Wendy explained that going with the nudges she got was essential on her own journey. While still employed, Wendy trained to be a health coach and started this business. However, after a few years, she realized it wasn’t making her happy or her true calling. This revelation came through her intuition. She emphasized the importance of listening deeply to yourself, suggesting meditation and spending time in silence, so you can tune into your inner guidance. If you’re thinking about change and want to reinvent yourself, you’ve got to find that inner wisdom. Hear more about how to use intuition in this fun episode! Think Big and Figure It Out The phrase, “Everything is figureoutable,” popularized by Marie Forleo, means a lot to Wendy. The point is, whether or not you know how to create what you want, you can figure it out when you give it a shot and put your mind to it. We exchanged stories about how this mindset helped both of us manifest our dreams. Both of us ventured into podcasting without prior experience. She trusted the process, took courses, and connected with resources that helped her succeed. Her actions proved that an open mind and perseverance can make the impossible possible. Wendy also believes in the power of sharing her dreams with others. By voicing her plans for a podcast, she found unexpected support and connections that made her journey easier. I echoed this discovery, recounting my own experience of attracting a digital printer when I was publishing my first book. The Universe has a funny way of aligning things when you put your intentions out there. Learn How to Reinvent Yourself at 50+ Wendy has had the privilege of interviewing many inspirational women on her podcast. One standout story was about Dixie Lincoln Nichols, who trusted her intuition to leave a secure teaching job and embark on a new business venture. Dixie co-founded the Life in the Paws Menopause Festival, creating a community for Black women to discuss menopause. This initiative, born from intuition and the desire to serve, demonstrates the power of following your inner knowing. Reinventing herself gave Dixie new purpose and meaning in her life. Embrace Your Unique Path Wendy’s podcast stories highlight how embracing your unique path is vital for success. Her guests often find that their deepest truths come from within. Their journeys are guided by intuition and subtle nudges from the Universe, leading to a more fulfilling and authentic life. These tales of how to reinvent yourself at 50+, remind you that it’s never too late to shift gears and pursue your true calling. That’s when she decided to shift again and explore being a podcast host which brings us to her great success today. This heartwarming episode conveyed the joy and magic of reinvention at any age. Wendy’s podcast brings inspirational stories to the forefront, encouraging listeners to embrace change and explore their potential. Tap into Your Intuition When you reinvent yourself by following your intuition, it will lead you to unexpected and rewarding paths. While this path might not be for the faint of heart, Wendy admits that transformation is a powerful and enriching journey, open to anyone willing to tune into their own wisdom. Embrace it and enjoy the adventure! Whether your desire for change is a whisper or a loud yell, remember the answers and guidance lie within yourself.

BIO As the host of the Reinvention Rebels podcast, Wendy Battles interviews brave and unapologetic women, 50-90 years young, who have boldly reinvented themselves to see new possibilities. Wendy shines a light on the notion that we can reinvent ourselves at any age or any stage and is helping to disrupt limiting beliefs about the value of aging women in our society. Wendy believes we reinvent from the inside out – that all the answers we need are already within us. It’s her job to help tease them out. At 59, Wendy is a Reinvention Rebel herself, having reinvented herself many times during her life including as a management consultant, voice actor, and health coach.

Have you ever felt like you’re teetering on the edge of an emotional cliff and you might be ready to topple over? That’s when you are most likely to reach out and call a friend. I’ve been there! Who hasn’t? That’s one time when you really need an intuitive buddy. What Is an Intuitive Buddy? A friend who can tune into spirit and the energy to see the truth of what’s happening to you. They understand your fears, but have this uncanny ability to tell you if they are unnecessary. This friend calms you down and gets you off that cliff edge like no one else can. That’s because they know you spiritually, not just on the normal day-to-day, physical plane. We Get the Same Answers! Let me tell you a story about my intuitive buddy Carrie. We’ve been supporting each other for more than 30 years. When I’m freaked out, she’s the person I call. I know I’ll get true and reliable intuitive insight. She’ll give it to me straight and I’ll be able to breathe again. How did we get here? Well it did take some time. Now, with 30 years in, we are so tuned into each other, we connect with each other’s guides and read each other’s energy. We often get the very same intuitive information and answers. This past Sunday, Carrie called me in a massive panic. Her one-year-old grandchild was super sick, in the hospital, and having trouble breathing. A scary moment for any grandmother. But before she started to explain, I could tell she was extremely upset and on the edge. I heard the answer she sought prior to her even asking me the question. “He’s OK.” I didn’t blurt that out though. I let her tell me the whole story and when she was done, I relayed the message, “He’s OK.” She began to relax and breath normally again. In addition, I heard he’d be better by noon, but I kept that to myself. Checking in later in the afternoon, I asked if there was any change and she said yes, things had started turning around. Phew! Working with a Partner This is the joy, benefit, and marvel of having an intuitive buddy. You need one. Everyone needs one. How can you create this strong supportive connection? PRACTICE YOUR INTUITION TOGETHER. Carrie and I have been getting together to talk about our lives and figure things out for 30 years. But even at the beginning, there was a connection. The more we worked together intuitively, the more reliable and amazing it got. We looked at past lives, where we were on the spiritual path, and talked about jobs, business, family, and more. Pretty much everything under the sun. I have a couple of other friends I do this with and I also lead two groups. My time in these exchanges is always wonderful. I just love to support others intuitively and receive their support too. From one-on-one interactions to group work, this is a powerful spiritual experience, tuning into and connecting with the soul, spirit guides, angels and more from the higher realms. In this episode, I’m going to share 10 reasons why you need an intuitive buddy in your life. Some of these you may relate to better than others but each one is a powerful reason to find a spiritual partner and build your intuitive skills together: 1. Talk You Off the Edge When you’re overwhelmed, having someone to talk to is invaluable. Venting lets you get things off your chest. But what about resolving those issues? That’s where an intuitive buddy steps in. Together, you can figure out what’s really going on. What’s driving you to feel a certain way? What’s the root cause, and what’s a good solution? Having someone who can spiritually connect with you can help bring clarity and solutions in ways you might not achieve alone. 2. Gain Clarity When you’re in an emotional tailspin, it’s hard to see the forest for the trees. Emotions cloud your ability to tune in for yourself. That’s why having an intuitive buddy is essential – for these stressful times when you can’t get anywhere on your own. Trust me, it happens to the best of us, no matter how skilled or practiced. I have a couple of long-term problems that come and go which are the worst when it comes to relying on my own intuition. I have so much baggage about these topics that I need help to see what’s happening clearly and untangle things. When you work with a partner whom you trust, the clarity and insight they bring to the table is beyond helpful. 3. Build Trust Working with a partner not only helps you begin to trust your own intuition, but it also allows you to trust someone else’s too. Then there are those times when the answers you both received are so similar, you are awe struck. How could it be that you get the same answers? Nothing is better to build trust then when you have this type of thing occur. That’s how you know you are on the right track. Today, Carrie and I laugh about how our answers are often so similar, we can almost speak for each other. Yet, there are also times when the input we get is surprisingly different and I’ll talk about that in a minute. 4. Get Confirmation When you are using your intuition, nothing is more helpful than the confirmation provided by someone else getting something similar. That’s when you can relax, breathe easier, and know that you’ve got this whatever it is. Confirmation is hugely helpful in learning to trust your intuition and inner guidance system. We all need that kind of reinforcement. With practice, you will be able to see that you can trust the information you get. It takes time but it’s very worthwhile. And then, when you work with an intuitive buddy, that confirmation comes even more often. What a difference that can make! 5. See Different Perspectives There is great value is seeing your situation from different angles. That’s another big reason why working with an intuitive buddy can be a game changer. We all get stuck in our own viewpoints and everyone has a blind spot or two. Your intuitive buddy isn’t all wrapped up in the emotion of what has overtaken your life. Nope, they are neutral and this can be a tremendous help for seeing all sides of a problem. This gives you the chance to discover additional solutions and potentially come up with a solution you would never find on your own. 6. Grow Faster Growth is its own reward. But sharing the path to growth sure makes it a lot more fun! In addition, having the support of your intuitive buddy can help you get through situations more easily, faster, or at least feeling heard and validated. I’m a champion of developing, honing and relying on your intuition for your own personal advancement. My focus is on the very practical aspects of what helps you move through life with more ease and grace whenever possible. I’m all about what kind of practical advice will get me and you through the rough patch we’re facing right now and also tomorrow. I’m looking for ways to stay calm, maintain a positive outlook, be at peace, enjoy life, and feel certain that everything is working out perfectly. There’s a lot more, so please listen to the podcast! And if you want help finding an Intuitive Buddy, maybe the Intuitive Circle is right for you. Send me an email and let’s talk about it!

Ready for Halloween ghost stories that warm your heart? Dive into this episode of the Breathe Love and Magic podcast, with eerie tales that will make you smile. The Origin of Halloween Before the story telling begins, let’s uncover Halloween’s ancient roots. Halloween comesfrom the Celtic festival Samhain, which marks the year’s end with a harvest celebration. It’s a time when the veil between our world and the spirit realm is at its thinnest. That’s why there are so many ghost stories! This tradition has evolved over millennia but retains its essence of connecting the living with the spirits of the departed. What’s most fascinating is looking at the connection of other cultures that also honor ancestors at this time of year. Honoring the Dead on 3 Continents There’s a Hindu holiday called Diwali which is a five-day festival that celebrates the victory of good vs. evil. On day two, the ancestors are honored. How interesting that on the other side of the world, at the same time of year, they too are connecting with the spirits of the departed. In addition, the Mexican Day of the Dead, is a combination of an ancient Aztec tradition with the All Souls Day brought by the Spanish, Catholic conquerors. Here too, the dead or those who have passed are celebrated and honored. So, this occurs on at least three continents that I know of! The best time of year to communicate with spirit Connecting with Ancestors I started the Halloween ghost stories with my own encounter – seeing my aunt at her funeral. As the casket was lowered, I noticed a woman sitting on the headstone to the left. Shockingly, I recognized her as my aunt, although she appeared much more youthful in a style that seemed like the late 1940s. We didn’t speak but after the funeral came the bigger surprise. A photograph of my aunt looking exactly as I saw her in the cemetery was at my cousin’s home – a picture I had never seen! Talk about a shocker! Here’s another one of my personal ghost stories. After my uncle passed, I went to visit my family, but there wasn’t a service. On my way back to my place, I suddenly felt the presence of others in my car! It became clear that my uncle, and his parents (my grandparents) were traveling with me – sort of like spiritual hitchhikers. This unexpected experience totally unfamiliar but once I got used to the idea, it was nice to think they came for a visit. Talk about transcending the boundaries of life and death! Comforting Ancestor Visits One listener recounted a sweet ghost story about her own godmother visiting.  Her son had learned to climb out of his crib, and she’d gone into his room to see him standing there. She picked him up and got on the bed with him. Suddenly, she felt the comforting presence of her godmother, which she found very reassuring, touching her leg, and then depressing the bed as she sat down next to her! She asked her godmother to please wake her if the baby needed attention. This sweet visitation ensured a restful night for both mother and child. Linda and her husband went to Vermont to the family house for a weekend ski trip. That night, while in bed, she woke up smelling her father’s aftershave. He’d been gone for some time now and that was strange enough. Next, she heard the crinkling of his favorite jacket, which caused her to open her eyes. There he was! Linda’s father stood in the room, telling her that he was doing well and everything was OK. Her father came to reassure her on what turned out to be the one-year anniversary of his death. Signs from Beyond Sometimes our ghostly ancestors provide signs of their presence. One listener went with her husband to visit her mother-in law. They cleaned up the patio making room for outdoor furniture, then went to purchase some just before the store closed. The listener was paying for the furniture while her husband went to bring the truck to the front to load everything up. Just before her husband walked in the door, a coin dropped inexplicably out of nowhere. He felt this was a heartfelt message from his departed father. Encounters like these serve as wonderful reminders that our loved ones continue to watch over us. I had a reading with my friend Marla, who is studying mediumship. She got my mom who shared a few things and then showed her the image of a light switch. Neither of us knew what this meant, and we just let it go. That night in bed, as I shut off the light with the remote-control button, it mysteriously switched back on! I thought what the heck? But then I remembered Marla’s reading with my mom showing her the light switch. This made me laugh and I acknowledged my mom’s visit. I shut of the light again and then my Kindle book turned on. Again, this made me laugh as my mom was making her presence known and showing me she was learning how to be a ghost. Another Halloween Episode about Salem, MA and more with Marla! Varying Reactions to Visitations Another listener described being tap on the shoulder by her late grandfather, as the entire family went to the home and stood around his favorite chair. She chided her brother who was the family prankster. She assumed he had done the tapping. He strenuously denied this and ran to the other end of the house! Not everyone is thrilled with joy by visiting ancestors and loved ones who have passed. Visiting Angels During a recent funeral, my husband was asked to play the guitar and sing Amazing Grace with his nephew. This was very stressful for him because he doesn’t enjoy being a performer or all the attention. But he wanted to do it. After the service ended, he and his nephew set themselves up at the front of the room and the idea came to me to call in the angels to support him. I closed my eyes and called Gabrielle for communication (and he plays the trumpet) and Michael for protection. The next thing I knew I opened my eyes to see an angel behind my husband that wrapped his wings around him. Then four more angels popped into view (all in my mind’s eye). All five were in a line at the front of the room, facing the crowd. What a surprise! I had never seen angels before and was totally thrilled with this experience. Honestly, it filled my heart with gratitude and brought tears to my eyes. Ghost Stories Can Happen Anytime With Halloween being the time of year when the veil is at its thinnest between our reality and the other world, these ghost stories remind us that we can reach out and communicate. Stories of love, connection, and reassurance don’t only occur at this time of year, but this is when they are more frequent or easier to come by. As you celebrate this Halloween, be open to the whispers and stories of the spirits and ancestors around you. Whether it’s through a feeling, a sign, or a flickering light, know that your loved ones are never far away. maybe this year, you’ll have your own Halloween ghost story to tell. Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween to all! The post Heart-Warming Halloween Ghost Stories appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Are you ready to manifest miracles and magic in your life? I did this in just one week, and it was easier than you think! The Power of Miracles and Magic Miracles and magic might seem reserved for fairy tales, but what if you could experience them in your life? That’s what I talk about in this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. I shared how I attracted these both last week and it continued in this week too! A Blessing for Miracles Last week was unbelievably magical, filled with synchronicities and epiphanies. The journey began with a simple daily blessing or prayer from Kyle Gray’s book, Raise Your Vibration. I adapted his prayer about miracles, infusing it with magic as well. Every day, I repeated this powerful blessing not knowing what would happen as a result. Turns out my life opened to lots of unexpected magic and as the synchronicities piled up, I realized how miracles are naturally attracted to me. The more I believed this, the more my vibration rose. The Big Epiphany Last week I took a workshop about branding and messaging. Despite suggestions to include the word “spiritual” in my branding, I had big reservations. I preferred the word “mystical” in my messaging rather than “spiritual,” and this unbeknownst to me, created a roadblock that I could not see. After the workshop I was telling my coach about what I came up with and I had this massive epiphany – I realized that insisting on avoiding the word “spiritual” was actually stopping the flow of the universe. It was time for me to stop focusing on what I didn’t want and to concentrate on what I do want. A classic spiritual lesson! My Second Art Show Last week I also had a painting in my second art show. I attended the opening with my husband but didn’t see many people I knew except this one artist Kiko who I spoke with briefly. He’s always friendly and fun. Before leaving I noticed a painting and a photo of the artist – this was a woman named Cathy who had judged the show. I recognized her name from my town’s magazine. She’d been featured and they talked about her work and a painting group she had at her home. Once outside the door, I saw several of the artists from the group I had joined, and I said hello but didn’t stay to chat with them. That was Thursday. Sychronicities at the Pond Friday, I went for a walk with my friend Tammy at this local park with a woodland path around a pond. You won’t believe who I ran into there -Cathy! Talk about how to manifest miracles and magic! She’s the judge of the art show and the woman who has a painting group at her home. I had tried to start a painting group but was having trouble gathering people and had given up. But there she was painting at the pond. I stopped to talk with her and discovered she still had the painting group! She invited me to join them. I was so excited. What an incredible synchronicity – quite a miracle seeing her there because we had never even met. I wouldn’t have known who she was if I hadn’t gone to the art show. Fast forward to Saturday morning, I went to the diner for a late breakfast and who did I run into? Kiko! I said hello but went to sit down and order. Later that day, I volunteered to babysit the art show, and they assigned two people for blocks of 2 hours. Guess who my partner was at the gallery? Kiko! We chatted for over 90-minutes, and it was incredibly fun. He’s so quick-witted and creative. Manifesting Group But wait – there’s more manifesting miracles and magic from last week. I lead a Manifesting Power Hour group three times a month. At this week’s session we experimented with new techniques, inspired by the teachings of Neville Goddard. Each woman created a future memory of something they wanted to manifest. Then one by one, they shared their vision, and the entire group cheered to celebrate their future success. My guides had given me an assignment to get excited about something and I had no idea what that would be. In fact, I found this instructon quite annoying. But suddenly, exciting things were popping up in my life and this manifesting group was one of them. Miracles continued to find their way to me. We had super warm weather for mid October in Connecticut, allowing me to go to the beach four times this week! That’s crazy! Plus, this week I went to the first painting group at Cathy’s house, and it was everything I’d been looking for! Amazing- it really was a miracle! I started a new painting and met some new people. Creating Miracles To manifest miracles and magic in your life doesn’t have to be hard or  complicated. It can be as simple as opening your heart to opportunities and saying the blessing. That’s what worked for me! According to the Course in Miracles, there is no order of difficulty. One miracle is not harder than another to manifest. They are all the same. Given that, my advice is to go big! If you’re inspired and want a copy of the Miracles and Magic blessing, inspired by Kyle Gray, email me through the website contact for and I’ll send you a copy. Remember, breathe in love and magic, because miracles are all around you, waiting to be discovered.

Listen to the Universe. In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, we dive deep into the world of spiritual growth and self-discovery with Jeni Holla, an experienced Akashic Records guide and energy healer. Learn how tapping into the cosmic library can help you harness your inner power and authenticity. Intuitive Guidance with Jeni Holla Not your typical Akashic Records guide, Jeni’s decade of experience, combined intuitive guidance and practical insights help conscious leaders and spiritual entrepreneurs achieve profound transformation. Jeni shared the story of discovering her calling. It started in her teens when she was introduced to the spiritual realm through books like The Celestine Prophecy. So, she became familiar with spirituality and related topics at a young age. While she began her career in corporate sales, Jeni was drawn back to spiritual exploration through Maureen St. Germain’s book, “Waking Up in 5D.” This journey led her to Maureen’s work on opening the Akashic Records—a pivotal moment that illuminated the path Jeni was meant to follow. A Portal to Transformation The Akashic Records can be likened to a cosmic library, holding the energetic imprint of every soul’s journey. Jeni candidly discussed how her own encounters with the records expanded her consciousness and revealed her purpose. She emphasizes that it wasn’t just about personal growth, but a call to empower others—something she never imagined for herself. As Jeni began tuning into the records and channeling messages, she discovered the power of embracing the unknown. This new dimension of her work pushed her to lean into areas beyond her comfort zone. This  accelerated her growth both personally and spiritually. It’s a reminder that when you confront your fears and embrace your authentic self, transformation is inevitable. The Key to Navigating Life Jeni and I talked about the importance of trust—both in oneself and in the universe. For many people, overthinking can stall progress, especially when it comes to living from the heart. Jeni revealed the importance of turning the volume up or down on overthinking, depending on what you’re working on. This is a huge help for navigating life with greater ease and being able to listen to the Universe. Staying grounded while working in the spiritual realms is another key to making the most of the guidance. I talked about balancing practicality with spirituality, emphasizing the uniqueness of each person’s path. Trusting your inner compass and understanding how your experiences shape you, helps you find peace and alignment in your life. The Etheric vs. The Practical One fascinating part of the discussion was the difference between the etheric (5D) and practical (3D) dimensions. Jeni illustrated this with her clients’ experiences, from forming profound connections with their guides to gaining unexpected clarity on significant life events. These metaphysical transformations can sometimes defy explanation. Yet they serve as powerful reminders of the potential for inner healing and growth that are available. When talking about 5D, it’s more etheric or spiritual vs. 3D which is more every day and practical. The process of working with the Akashic Records is not a one-size-fits-all experience. Instead, it’s uniquely tailored to each individual, addressing their needs at the soul level. This approach allows deep-seated emotional and spiritual blocks to be identified and released, paving the way for a more authentic and fulfilling life. That’s what happens when you listen to the Universe. Embrace Your Power As Jeni wrapped up her thoughts, she left us with a powerful call to action. She urged everyone to stop playing small and step into their power. It’s so important for everyone to connect with their own energy. Think about if you’re reacting to external influences, or are you making choices from your inner core? The answer to this question often leads to realignment with your true purpose. In a world where many seek external validation, Jeni’s message is a refreshing reminder to trust yourself and your path. Taking an empowered step can make a significant impact, not only in your own life, but also rippling out into the world. Ultimately, Jeni encourages everyone to listen to their inner guide when choosing whom to work with on their spiritual journey. Trust in those gentle nudges and follow what truly resonates with your soul. Whether you’re a seasoned spiritual seeker or just beginning your exploration, there’s a place for everyone in this vast, etheric landscape. In the words of Jeni herself, “Let your light shine and make those tidal waves of change you are meant to create.” Get Jeni’s Akashic Records Messages If you’re intrigued by Jeni’s journey, are ready to listen to the Universe, and want to dive deeper, she invites you to explore her work further.

Have you been to a sound bath or crystal bowl sound healing? It’s sheer bliss and fabulous self-care! That’s what I’m talking about in this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. Dive into the captivating world of sound healing with my guest, Catherine Barrett, known for her unique sound healing practices. Catherine shares her journey into meditation and the relaxing vibrations she brings to her clients through sound. Discovering A Healing Path Catherine’s story begins in 2011 when she found herself grappling with personal challenges, including a difficult divorce. Struggling with insomnia and stress, she stumbled upon Deepak Chopra’s 21-day meditation challenge. This sparked a powerful shift for her. To help clients have a deeper experience, Catherine began incorporating Tibetan bowls into her meditation sessions. She was very encouraged by the positive responses which was the start of her sound healing. The Science Behind the Sound Catherine talked about how sound waves work their magic by literally washing over and through the body. This is due to the body’s high water content – about 70%! Sound waves stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering cortisol levels and ultimately relaxing the entire body. The sound vibrates through the body, offering what Catherine describes as a gentle massage for the lymphatic system. Beyond relaxation, sound also induces a state where creativity and clarity can flourish. Eventhough sessions are relaxing, her corporate sessions have also helped people find unexpected solutions to work problems. Sound to Calm the Mind Sound frequencies can slow brainwaves from the hectic beta state to a meditative alpha or even theta state. This transition calms the mind resulting in an mental and emotional unclogging. This can help people reconnect with their true self. The soothing sounds produce emotional releases in clients, who find themselves laughing, crying, or simply relieved of tension. This non-intrusive method for aligning body energy and releasing emotional blockages, makes it a simple and easy path for healing. Discover Healing with Essential Oils Crystal Bowl Sound Healing Catherine’s toolkit is a harmonious blend of amazing instruments. From crystal bowls tuned to the chakras to the tinkling sounds of the koshi chimes, these instruments resonate with almost everyone. To me they sound like fairies! Her sessions incorporate a variety of instruments to maintain the meditative engagement. Relaxing and yet listening, the sound guides participants through a remarkable auditory adventure. Instruments like the ocean drum or rain stick are a great way to wrap up a session. These sounds are grounding and complete a sound bath by recentering and helping participants come back to the body. The Remarkable Soul Intellifence Method of Healing Sound as a Healing Tool Catherine’s dedication to sound as a healing method has created remarkable shifts among her clients. They have experienced releasing muscle tension, emotional epiphanies, or a renewed sense of self. Sound healing has a versatile range of benefits. Catherine encourages listeners to seek out crystal bowl sound healing experiences locally. Often affordable, these sessions promise an unconventional, yet remarkably relaxing journey into self-care. Sound healing can be an unexpected ally in your journey towards inner peace. Healing from Within With society having a growing appreciation for sound’s role in wellbeing, Catherine’s approach highlights the benefits and accessibility. She invites everyone to indulge in this ancient, yet cutting-edge form of meditative therapy. There’s little out there as soothing and relaxing as crystal bowl sound healing. Get a copy of Catherine’s Free sound healing meditation recording! If you’re curious or ready to experience a snippet of this soothing practice, direct message @Catherine.Barrett.Sound on Instagram and she’ll send the recording to you! BIO – Catherine Barrett Catherine Barrett began her meditation journey in 2011 and has been committed to it ever since. In her own life, meditation has served as a healthy coping mechanism for everyday stressors, as well as a way to discover inner peace through mindfulness. She strongly believes it is one of the most profound forms of self-care and is deeply passionate about guiding each student on their own unique path to developing a practice that suits them. Catherine completed her teacher training in the Shamatha style of meditation under David Nichtern in 2016 and began instructing students privately throughout Fairfield county (CT). She noticed the positive effects of using sound bowls and pursued certification in sound healing. She also has been certified to teach EFT, Yoga Nidra, and became  a Reiki Master in 2017.

In this enchanting episode of the Breathe, Love and Magic podcast, I had a fascinating conversation about dragon guardians with Neil Gaur, founder of PortalToAscension.com. Discovering Dragon Guardians This mythical subject is not just fanciful tales but is actually steeped in deep spiritual and esoteric meaning. Neil clarified dragons aren’t merely folklore but linked to significant archetypal and metaphorical meanings, grounded in historical and cultural narratives. Neil explained the astrological importance of the year we are in according to Chinese astrology. This is the year of the Wood Dragon, symbolizing masculine energy. Next year is the Year of the Snake, transitioning us to divine feminine energy. According to Neil, this sequence represents a balance of serpentine energies, deeply rooted in both mythology and energy work. I’ve always loved dragons, as did my mother who bought me a bronze dragon statue that now sits on my ancestor altar. Listen to Neil’s first interview about changing the ancient history timeline East vs. West on Dragons There is a stark contrast between Eastern and Western perspectives on dragons. The Eastern world reveres dragons as a symbol of enlightenment and spiritual ascension. However, the Western world often depicts them as adversaries to be vanquished. This dichotomy points to differing cultural narratives around spiritual symbolism. Neil learned a lot about dragons through a past life regression. During his session, he discovered he was from a planet that’s in the constellation of Orion. His regression revealed that dragons have profound connections with human souls and him personally. Dragon guardians aid humans with their incarnation and spiritual journey, particularly from birth to three years old. Dragons as Guardians According to Neil, every human potentially has a dragon counterpart that assists in their soul’s journey starting in a mystical pool within the Earth to the physical realm. These dragon guardians support souls through their early years and foster a deep spiritual bond, helping them navigate the initial stages of life. Much to his amazement, Neil told a powerful anecdote about a woman who talked about her young daughter having a dragon invisible friend from the red tribe. This was an exact parallel to his own story. He was surprised and felt this was strong confirmation since he hadn’t said one word to her about dragons. The Spiritual Role of Dragons and Snakes The dragon and snake are symbols that unearth hidden truths and wisdom. They challenge you to confront and heal from past traumas, preparing you for a new dimension of spiritual experiences. Neil emphasized that these mythical creatures aid humanity in exposing and dealing with lies and manipulations that have long been hidden. Dragon guardians are also powerful symbols of  prosperity, and higher consciousness. They usher in a transformative era, encouraging humanity to move from scarcity and fear to abundance and enlightenment. Ascension and Present Awareness My guest noted that true ascension is about being present in the moment and finding beauty in the now, rather than waiting for some future event. This perspective underscores the importance of being mindful as a foundation for living better now and creating a better future. Avalon, King Arthur & Guinevere As mentioned, Neil travels the globe putting together amazing events. His most recent conference at Glastonbury in the UK, is supposedly on the site of Avalon which was once surround by water. We talked a little about the Camelot folklore and I mentioned that in my reading, I discovered that today’s stories have many falsehoods according to some historians. It’s been asserted that Guinevere never cheated on King Arthur and that Lancelot was not even part of the original story. Discrepancies in the Arthur Story Many changes have been made to this mythic legend that persists. One account claims Guinevere was from Avalon’s Fae community and she agreed to marry the human King Arthur to help create the spiritually elevated community of Camelot. Morgause, also known as Morgain, was the queen of the Fae and not Arthur’s half sister contrary to how today’s story goes. They did not have an incestuous child who grew up to be Mordred and was the downfall of Arthur. Also, Morgain was called the Lady of the Lake, and held the position as head of the Fae. Plus, Avalon was considered a portal to the elemental world. This is aligned with what I’ve read about her being the Queen of the Faeries. Some historians blame the “powers that be”, for tarnishing the women in this epic tale that survives today in it’s twisted form. Unfortunately, much of the magic and some of the real facts, including stories of Merlin are lost over the years. Neil’s Upcoming Events Beyond the dragon guardians, Neil has several exciting events lined up, including an 11-day streaming event called The Awakening of Humanity. Starting October 8 – 18th, 2024. This is the biggest live stream event ever, celebrating his 16 year anniversary of Portal to Ascension. There will be 77 presenters offering workshops, meditation, and activations.
