Have you been through a bad fight or breakup and want to get over it fast? Check out these tips to reclaim your power and bounce back from emotional devastation. Let me tell you my story. To Hell and Back I feel like I’ve been through hell and back after an unexpected fight with a family member. Out of the blue this person just started screaming at me. OK, I admit I did mention something minor that had bothered me, but the reaction was so over the top, it was shocking. Nasty things were said to me. Cold, lacking in compassion or any empathy. I was mostly quiet due to the shock factor. At first I tried to defend myself but then I tried to just get off the phone. It was awful and honestly I was devastated. I just couldn’t understand where this outburst came from. You’ve been there too, right? So, what comes next? Tears. Lots of tears. A virtual flood. Mostly at night when I was trying to sleep. I also cried as I told the story to friends who were as shocked as I was. Many tried to come up with reasons. I don’t really care why. There’s no reason to speak to me this way. So, I suffered for several days in my tiny pity party. How Can I Move On? Then I slowly started to think of what could help me start to move on. Sharing the story with empathetic friends certainly helped. Journaling about the situation and my feelings was good too. But I still needed more. I smudged myself. I used a smudge stick with sage and sweetgrass and swept over my entire body. Then I saged the entire house to clear it of this emotional tumult. I listened to a lot of meditation and yoga-like music. This was soothing for my soul. I also made hot chocolate one morning. Doesn’t that cure any problem, for a little while? But I was still hurting and didn’t feel like telling the story to another soul. What else could I do? Energy Work & Visualization I had a session with my chiropractor who does a lot of energy-based work. He said my energy field was burning red and so he poured green light through my crown chakra down through my body to the root to balance my energy. Green is not only the opposite of red on the color wheel, but it’s the color of heart healing. You KNOW I needed this. In addition, I took a couple of Epsom salt baths which are wonderful to draw out toxins and sooth sore muscles. A hot bath is relaxing anyway so this was an excellent choice to help me recover. I visualized healing my heart. Seeing it as a clear quartz crystal that had been cleaved in half and allowing it to heal and come back together into one whole heart. I did another visualization that I was riding a river and allowing the water to wash over me, clearing my energy field of all this muck. I had a hollow reed pointing up from my mouth so I could breathe easily and let the waters pour over me to cleanse my spirit and soul. Chanting Shifts Your Energy Chanting had always been a go-to method for shifting my energy. So I started with Ra Ma Da Sa and moved on the a devotional chant to Ganesh – the Hindu God of problems solving. They say that when you call out to Ganesh, he is honor bound to come and help you. Over the summer I spent an entire month chanting to Ganesh every morning and doing this again also helped me sooth myself and find a bit of peace. Working with Ganesh lead to my breakthrough. I realized that all this negative thinking was not helping. Yet, my brain was drawn back to rehashing the conversation over and over. I thought about what was said, thought about what I said, thought about what I wanted to say and still plan to say. Ridiculous! All this negative thinking is the very antithesis of manifesting. If I continue on this path, I can expect more of the same – disharmony, emotional pain, unhappiness. That’s not what I want! Empowering Replacement Thoughts Then it came to me. When I catch myself thinking about how hurt I am, I need to shift the dialog to something positive! What I heard to say was, “I am at peace with this person, whether we speak or not.” Now I have no plans to call and make up because I feel like the wounded party. I want an apology. I’m not going to ask if we can talk about this and open myself to more potential yelling. I just have to leave it in the hands of the Universe. For me, I have NO idea how this can be resolved and I see a much quieter holiday season on the horizon. But working with Ganesh, I realized I don’t need to have the solution. The Universe can provide one. My job is to let this go. Stop thinking all the negative stuff. Stop rehearsing my speeches and rehashing what happened. Drop it! This is NOT easy, but I am making a good stab at it. I am calming down by catching myself going in circles in my head and stopping that freight train to say, “I’m a peace with this person whether we speak or not.” Ahhhh. That feels much better. Take Back Your Power This new direction allows me to take my power back. I can be who I am regardless of what was said to me. I am in charge of me. How I feel, what I think and what I do next. So, if you find yourself in a similar situation, this is why it’s good to work with an intuitive coach like me. I can see what’s happening with you more clearly because I’m not emotionally involved. With lots of training and 20+ years of experience, I have access to many simple tools that can help you turn your situation around quickly. Whether you want to try intuitive coaching or get a quick intuitive reading or past life reading, you’ll get the insights that can help you shift your energy and feel better. I look forward to helping you for whatever reason you choose! The post How to Recover From A Big Fight Fast – Podcast Snack appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Experts discuss the concept of 5D consciousness and the idea of a new earth split into 3D and 5D realms. The conversation explores the evolution of Earth and humans, blending dimensions, and the possibility of different tribes coexisting. It questions practical implications of ascension, the blurry lines between 3D and 5D, and the idea of evolving into a higher vibrational energy. Are you ready to embrace the ascension rollercoaster?

Ready to improve your odds of finding love after 40? Two long-time dating coaches share their essential secrets in this revealing episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast! Dating Trends Today, I’m speaking with my favorite Dating Coach, Debbie Rivers, and we started this episode talking about dating trends. The first one was “Infladating” which is an awkward and ridiculous combination of inflation and dating. I asked Debbie if she thought this was a new idea. We both laughed – No! However, in the post COVID world, things do cost more. The idea is to have inexpensive first dates, since you will be having several if you’re serious about finding love. However, both Debbie and I always recommend a short, low budget first date vs. a fancy dinner. You don’t know if you’ll even like each other, so don’t get roped into a long, expensive meal. Who wants to sit there silently munching when you wish you could dash out the door to go home and watch Netflix? Other suggestions are not surprising like going for a walk in a well-populated park or boardwalk, getting a cup of tea/coffee, a drink, ice cream, or appetizers. You can get creative and find cheap, fun things to do. Maybe go to a farmer’s market which would give you lots to talk about. Often there’s coffee or pastry to enjoy as well. Another suggestion is called “Fating” which is Fitness-Dating. Both of us agreed this isn’t something we’d enjoy. If you’re both into fitness, that’s cool, but do you want to get sweaty with a man you just met? I guess that’s up to you. Sharing an activity is a really good idea and improves your odds of finding love after too. Why? Because it takes the pressure off if you’re doing something together that can reduce judgement and get you beyond the grilling conversations people frequently engage in. Sex on the First Date? Interview With Debbie Rivers The Downside of Labeling Today it seems everyone has dated a narcissist, yet they only represent 5% of the population. That means you may have met someone selfish or dated a guy who was not into you, but not necessarily a true narcissist. Let’s keep things real. The same goes for gaslighting. This is a situation in which a person spent time strategizing how to lower your self-esteem and make you feel crazy. That doesn’t happen overnight and you usually know someone a while before this takes hold of your relationship. While it’s possible you met someone who was unkind, thoughtless, self-centered or an all out liar, they probably weren’t actually gaslighting you. It happens, but it’s not common. The other place that labeling has become popular is with attachment styles. Many people have identified their attachment style and use this as their reasoning for why they can or can’t do something. But in truth, this becomes a crutch or even a handy excuse for not taking responsibility for yourself. If you haven’t heard about this concept, it’s from the book, Attached by Amir Levine. Labeling Creates Barriers to Love Labeling can definitely become a barrier to dating and decrease your odds of finding love after 40. Another way this happens is through judgement about people, especially snap judgement. Whenever you meet someone and can hold back on judgement, you dramatically increase the number of people you get to know and the possibility of finding a good match. It’s essential to give more people a chance and get to know them. This takes time, but the results show it’s a very worthwhile investment. It can take up to three months to really get to know a person. Go into your dating as if you are on an open-minded adventure. Otherwise, when you put up barriers to lots of people to stay safe and avoid heartbreak, you’re actually creating walls that prevent you from finding love. Falling in love requires a level of vulnerability. Not stupidity or being a doormat, but a willingness to take a calculated risk about who you’ll spend time getting to know. Yes, you need boundaries and it’s important to know the qualities of the person you’re seeking. But you also have to take some risk and go down the road a bit with a few people to get to know them better. Everything can’t be decided during a single cup of coffee if you want to improve your odds of finding love after 40. Learn about Conscious Dating in this podcast. Camping Was a Deal Breaker Debbie admitted if she had she met her partner at a speed dating event she would have said no. One thing that turned her off about him was that he wanted to take a camper and travel around Australia. After her divorce, Debbie traveled to 35 countries, so camping held no interest at all. However, she started dating the man she’s been with now for three years during COVID. You couldn’t do foreign travel and so she agreed to the camper and drove around. Debbie was shocked to discover she loved it! They had a great time and was so glad she hadn’t let camping be a deal breaker. Even though she has all this knowledge about dating, she might have made a wrong turn. How did she get past this deal breaker? Debbie said he was quite persistent and asked her to, “Give us a chance and go on a date.” Debbie says women think they are going to know the right man immediately once they meet. But that is not true and she’ll admit it readily about herself. She would have missed out on this great guy if she stuck to her barrier of “no camping”. We both shared how our clients often end up with a wonderful man who is not the guy they expected or imagined. But they get their needs met with a good man who they wouldn’t normally have considered. Gender: Equal But Different Yes, men and women may be equal in intelligence, ability, and more. But in no way are we the same. We communicate and think differently and often come at situations from very different viewpoints. When you judge a man based on what you expect from a girlfriend, you could be dooming yourself to failure. That won’t help improve your odds of finding love after 40. Go on Three Dates I always encouraged my clients to go on three dates with a man who has potential. If you aren’t sure the spark is there, but he seems like a good guy, go out with him again. This is part of the Ball Park Theory of Dating. You need to spend more than an hour with someone and give a guy a chance so he can show you who he really is versus making a snap judgement. That’s how you miss out on a good match. Yes! A 3-Letter Word That Opens Your World I had two single girlfriends who realized they better do something different if they wanted to have more fun and meet more men. Social opportunities would crop up, but they were tired, didn’t feel like it, or wanted to stay home and watch TV. However, they recognized this would not help them find love! These two women over 40 decided to try something truly revolutionary – which was to say “YES!” to whatever came their way. So, they said yes to barbecues, free concerts, summer beach rentals, and more. They bought fun props to help them meet men like crazy sunglasses with margaritas or martini glasses on the frames. This made it easier to talk to men, as they were being flirty and friendly. These two women had the summer of their lives, and today they still reminisce about the fun they had together. Learn to make saying “Yes” a new habit and see how your world opens and expands. You’ll be amazed and happy with the results. There is so much more to discuss but this post is already too long, so you’ll have to listen to the podcast to get the rest. Debbie is full of brilliant insights and suggestions!

What do horses have to do with finding your truth and healing? I learned about healing with horses in this week’s episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. Discovering Equus Coaching My guest this week explains how she became an Equus Coach and shares remarkable stories of transformation for her clients. Horses can do a lot more than take you for a ride! I started by asking Jenn how she went from being an award-winning ad executive to becoming an Equine Coach. When this journey began, she’d just had a baby who had some developmental struggles, so there was a lot to juggle. Before having a baby, Jenn had worked with a life coach who helped her quickly figure out whether to have a baby naturally or adopt. Reviewing that pivotal time, the idea came that coaching might be a good career change for her. She had a longing to help people. Her own life coach had studied with Dr. Martha Beck who had a spiritual life coaching school. On this fateful day, Jenn opened her lap top to discover the details. Then she shut the cover within minutes because she didn’t have that money and wasn’t free on Tuesday afternoon for an entire year. 5 Minutes to Manifest Just 5 minutes later, her phone rang and it was HR, letting her know she’d been downsized! They gave her a year severance, plus a check coincidently, for the exact amount of the program. Now she had the money and was free every Tuesday! Jenn felt full of joy at this news! In that moment it became obvious something bigger was at play in her life. Everything had lined up literally in minutes to make her new direction possible. Once she started the program, Jenn did a Shamanic journey with Dr. Martha Beck and saw a horse who gifted her a brass ring. Her life coach partner suggested she start working with horses to see if she liked it. The idea came that perhaps Equus Coaching was Jenn’s new path. Next, Jenn found a horse farm for an internship that was willing to teach her everything about horses if she helped them move and she worked with them for 6 years soaking it all in. She never dreamed they’d accept her within one hour of sending her application! Healing with Horses As it turns out, there are many benefits of equine therapy and Jenn’s foray into this arena also helped her daughter. When her daughter was 4, she started riding horses in a therapeutic program. Within two years, her language disorder was completely gone and her recovery was confirmed with a neuropsychological evaluation. Nothing else worked including speech therapy. Amazing! Healing with horses works in many ways. Jenn says the horses gait is actually a big part of the healing in equine therapy. Apparently, therapists find the exact horse with the right gait to do the type of healing required. How Jenn Works Clients don’t actually ride horses when working with Jenn. Instead, Jenn and her clients talk about the situations they want to change outside the horse’s paddock. The next step is to notice the horse’s behavior after talking for a while, to get clues about what is underneath preventing clients from having what they want. The horses actually reveal the truth about what the clients feel, since often their words and feelings are often not in alignment. In other words, you might think one thing, but the horses will reflect what’s going on in your subconscious mind. Yes, they are highly intuitive! They provide non-verbal, non-judgmental biofeedback. So when you are “lying” to yourself, the horses will show you exactly that. Horses excel at providing clarity on what needs to heal AND on showing clients their own magnificence. Healing with horses helps you unwind cultural biases or from family and more. They cut to the truth quickly. Case Study #1 – Finding Love One client, let’s call her Samantha, had an abusive father, which as it often does, lead to having an abusive husband. Samantha told Jenn that she’s a brilliant woman who is rocking her career, so why can’t she figure out how to find a healthy relationship? Jenn invited her to come to the farm. As Samantha shared her story and wasn’t being totally truthful with herself, the horses were standing on the other side of the paddock. But, when she started to get at the real truth, the horses came closer and connected with her heart. Basically, Samantha believed she couldn’t hold a firm boundary with a narcissistic, abusive man which is why she couldn’t break up with one guy and he ended up stalking her. After a cord cutting and healing with horses, everything seemed to clear up. From then on, Samantha became more present and clear-minded about her beliefs and within two months the wonderful man she’s with now came into her life. Samantha admitted she never would have given this guy a second thought in the past because he was too good. But after the benefits of Equus Coaching, she could see how he was a far better match for her. Case Study #2 – Conversation with Her Husband Jenn loves to lean into the mysteries and the magic of the Universe. Me too! What blew her mind was that she could do this work over zoom! The horses still respond even though they cannot see the client. As with most things it’s all about the energy. In session with her client, Barbara, they talked about a conversation she wanted to have with her husband. As Barb laid it out for Jenn, the horses showed her through their body language what could work or cause more fighting. For example, when Barbara said something that would escalate the situation, the horses ears would pin back and appear less cooperative. This alerted her to the parts of the conversation that needed a better tone of voice or word choice, so she would be heard all the way through. Barbara learned how to approach this type of conversation with love which changed her communication with her husband dramatically. Horse Dynamics Give You Clues Ultimately, healing with horses reflects back to you exactly what you most need to know for any situation you present. The horses play out the dynamic and heighten your awareness when you know what to look for. Of course, Jenn is a huge part of this magical process. On any given day you might try this yourself if you had access to horses, but Jenn is the facilitator, helping this process unfold. That’s the horse whisperer part, right? Jenn is also a Shamanic Reiki Master Teacher and she does Shamanic Equuus Coaching if her client has something she wants to create or manifest. Listen to more on Shamanism Are Horses More Intuitive Than Other Animals? Jenn’s perspective is that horses have a higher level of consciousness and are more intuitive. She’s seen more of this type of exchange with horses, but she doesn’t discount other animals at all. However, if you’re not a believer, you aren’t likely to have a powerful experience. You need to be spiritually open and curious to get the benefits of Equus Coaching. There are a string of other fun and fascinating stories Jenn shares including transformative client examples, shaman tales, and animal communication. I shared a video about the most amazing story about a black panther named Diablo in an ethical animal conservatory in South Africa, but you’ll have to listen to the podcast to get the rest. (Makes me cry every time I watch it!) Ultimately, this is another episode that shows us we are all more connected that you might think on the surface. Knowing this can spread peace and unity, cooperation, respect and love.

In this episode, first you’ll get an update on my spiritual adventure with a message from my basil plants. Then Melissa Oatman talks about, “Am I on the right path?” Update on My Spiritual Adventure! Wrapping up the summer season, I went into the garden to express my gratitude for the beauty and bounty. Sitting on the little bench near the zinnias, I reached out to the elementals, plant spirits and devas to share my heart-felt thanks. When I opened my eyes, I was watching little orange brown moths flit around the zinnias, picking up pollen or drinking the nectar. They often fly in groups or pairs, with synchronized movements, almost like a figure skating duo. Then before I knew it, two little moths buzzed over to me and sat on my arm! My first comment to them was, “I’m not food.” How silly of me! It took me a moment or two to realize what was happening. They were saying hello and letting me know, “We hear you.” My moth friends did a little dance on my arm, then sat still before lifting off on their merry way. Isn’t that amazing? Moths have never sat on my arm before! It was nature’s way of letting me know they heard me and appreciated my gratitude. My heart lit up with this realization. Listen to the first episode about my spiritual adventure. Basil Plants Share a Message After that, I sought out the basil plants to see if they had a message. Not sure why I picked them – perhaps it was a little nudge from spirit. Earlier in the season, the basil plants weren’t looking so good. The bugs were attacking them and eating the small new leaves. I was worried they weren’t going to make it, so I bought another plant and kept it on the deck instead of planting it in the garden just in case. But by August they had become lush and like big bushes 3.5 feet high. Healthy and full of leaves. I let some of it flower and the bees were in heaven. The basil said to me, “Don’t judge how we are doing in the moment, because you don’t know how beautiful things can turn out. You gave up on us but look at us now!” What a great message and so true! You can’t take a moment in time and decide how things will end up. Maybe have a bit more faith. I’m always amazed at the messages my garden shares with me. Listen to another message from the garden-the honeysuckle vine. Am I on the Right Path? The next part of this podcast episode is an episode from my friend Melissa Oatman’s podcast, Awaken Your Inner Awesomeness. She talks about how to know if you are following the right path. There are many ways to tell and this is a wonderful exploration of that idea. Melissa’s podcast has hundreds of episodes and way over a million downloads – she’s very popular and comes from the heart. I’m sure you’ll enjoy her! Happy listening! Want more Melissa Oatman?

She said, “We always fight, but we love each other,” but she wanted to win the battles. She then admitted there wasn’t much love, yet she felt a deep connection and pull to be with him. Discover her past lives and soul contract with this man and what her guides had to say about it. Savannah’s Difficult Relationship In this past life reading for Savannah, she revealed that all she and her romantic partner did was fight. They had tough screaming matches and she created a barrier by keeping the bed piled with clothing and books to keep him away. Savannah wanted to understand why they were driven to fight and how she could fix the situation. She wanted to get back into the house they bought together, but for now she was living with family and he had the house. My client was sad that this was the state of her relationship, but she couldn’t seem to find a way around the arguments. They were harsh, cold and constant and this was wearing her down. Thinking about the statement, “We always fight, but we love each other,” made her realize that sometimes, love is not enough. On the other hand she dreamed of moving back in and redecorating. She loved that house and wanted to be in it – with him. So confusing, right? To feel compelled to battle it out, yet want to be with someone at the same time. Not an easy situation. Past Life Reading I accessed the Akashic Records for Savannah and uncovered a surprising series of lives that were about either war, battles and sword fights or peace and a spiritual life dedicated to love and the Goddess Aphrodite. Talk about contrast! She had been in several lives with this man before, often as a man herself. We always fight, but love each other was a theme that didn’t relate just to romance. They were sometimes brothers and other times from competitive, warring families. Her lives covered a lot of the planet from ancient Greece, to several countries in the South Pacific including Japan and then Manilla which came to me out of the blue. That’s when Savannah told me her family was from Manilla! What? That was amazing to find out. I had no idea and had never even seen a photo of her. Her Life Mission This time around on earth, Savannah’s mission is to stop the fighting. She’s here to learn how to give up the desire to win and instead, learn to honor and take care of herself. To do what is for her highest good, without concern over whether or not she wins the battle. But the desire to fight and win runs strong through many lifetimes and it’s not an easy thing to simply give up. The choice is truly up to her. Ready for your own Akashic Records Reading? Spirit Guides Offer Advice Then her guides came in to share their support and advice. They suggested she be around water because that would help her feel more peaceful and bring solace to her soul. Savannah said she loves the water and always feels better when she’s near the ocean or a lake. This episode is filled with fascinating insights, discussion about life lessons, making choices, difficult relationships and so much more. If you have a difficult relationship where you also say, “We always fight, but we love each other,” then listen to this episode and see if it gets you some insight as well.

Are you curious to know the secrets of a Pythian Priestess and what kind of magic she does? Find out in this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. The Oracle of Delphi Originally, the Pythian Priestess was the Oracle of Delphi in the Temple of Apollo back in ancient Greece. The oracles (usually three) were often women in midlife, taken from their families to devote themselves to the divine for the rest of their lives. Over the last few years in my past life readings, I’ve been finding clients who actually were part of the Oracle of Delphi. That got me wondering just how many oracles were there? it must have been quite a few for me to keep bumping into them. So, lots of women did this work! She’d Rather Be a Priest But my guest in this episode, Ashley Ryan, is a modern day Pythian Priestess! It all started when she was four and her two aunts, who were nuns, asked if she wanted to marry Jesus. Her immediate reply was, “No, I rather be a priest.” How precocious, right? Her aunts let her know that as a woman, she couldn’t be a priest. Then in 2013, while in college, Ashley learned about the Pythia Priestess which transformed that childhood dream into reality. Then she embarked on spiritual initiation in 2019. Search for Truth Ashley had been searching for Truth her entire life. She had been inspired by ancient philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Lao Tzu, but the academic side of philosophy didn’t cut it. Something was missing – the esoteric, mystical aspects. The Philosophical Research Society in LA captured her attention, where she learned that magic is real. Next, she found a magical society to join, and began her initiation. When you are initiated, you are brought into an energy current and each one is dedicated to a different God or Goddess. The ancient Pythians were devoted to Apollo, but she is devoted to the Goddess Isis (Greek version) which is the Queen of Heaven. This was a life changing experience that had her looking at her values and decide what to dedicate her life and teaching what magic truly is. Her goal is to bring a more wholesome world view about magic to what has been a cold materialistic world in recent years. So, how does this work for her in modern day life? Ashley said she’s a vessel for the Goddess requiring twice daily rituals to cleanse the energy around her and prayer as well. She speaks for the Goddess. Love Unites the Universe A big part of what she helps people understand today is that there is love in the world. Not the diluted version of love like, “I love pizza,” but deep love is the force that unites the Universe and keeps the electrons moving around the atom’s nucleus. The other message she shares is unity and acceptance of others. Currently, many people can barely tolerate others with differing viewpoints, etc. Having entered the age of Aquarius, there is a shift away from dogma and to see that we are all human. We must respect each other since we are all flesh and blood and a reflection of the divine. Tarot and the Elements Magic is the creation, direction, and manipulation of energy. In our world we have the four elements of fire, air, water and earth. Magic means that you not only control the elements outside of you, but also how psychologically you work with the elements. Here’s a secret: The elements are hidden in the Tarot cards. Cups are the water element and deal with emotions and intuition Wands are the fire element which is about passion, drive, and creative spark Swords are the air element which relates to your thoughts and sense of right and wrong Pentacles are the earth element which relates to everything physical Domestic Violence When Ashley works with her clients, she’s usually working with the emotions. A lot of the magic she does today is around domestic violence, helping people escape from negative, harmful situations. She also helps clients reevaluate how they got into the situation, how to not repeat the pattern, and finally break free of it. This was so surprising to me! That’s quite a service. Building up self-worth and the fire and confidence to take a stand for themselves and say, “No more.” This is often not an easy shift for people. Ashley does this work as a labor of love for her clients and says she has a lot of success. Good to know! Candle Magic & Sigils Most of the rituals Ashley does with her clients use candle magic because this incorporates the four elements plus a fifth – spirit. The candles represent alchemy. She’s a big proponent because of the psychology of ritual. our human minds are conditioned to understand symbolism. By studying the flame of the candle, and putting the intention there, people can feel that intention growing inside them. There’s a lot of research being done now in accredited universities about how rituals impact our subconscious mind. She draws a sigil for clients which is from chaos magic. Curious about ceremonial magic? Every night before the client goes to bed for two weeks, they are instructed to trace the sigil with their eyes which imprints this into the subconscious mind. They also listen to a recording of binaural beats at 6 hertz to get their brain waves not a more receptive state – theta and delta waves. This changes the neural pathways and prepares the client for the energetic influx about to happen to make the desired life changes. Then on the new or full moon, depending on the kind of magic, they will destroy the sigil through one of the elements. They rip it up, throw it into the air, or burn it, flush it down the toilet or let it go down the drain, or lastly bury it. Need some love magic? The Love Vibe Magic Kit has 8 love charm chants, guided meditations, tips to raise your love vibe, and embody the divine feminine Goddess, plus so much more! 70% off right now. My guest finds some of this work tiring. When she thinks about the earth oceans, and how microplastics are destroying the environment. We need massive change and a lot of that is dependent upon what we worship. So many people today worship money vs. a God or Goddess. Ashley wants to be clear – she is not a princess but a handmaiden, serving the Goddess. She does not wield her own power but that of the Goddess and everything she does she tries to do within that Goddess light. You Don’t Walk Alone One important point Ashley made is that she doesn’t walk alone on this path. There are many like her working for the same good. She also loves living in Los Angeles because of the magic that is so prominent in the area. Being around open-minded people who want to exchange ideas is very exciting for her. She loves a good open conversation! I asked her how she notices the magic around her. Ashley is blessed to live near nature in Los Angeles which is uncommon.

Tell your story and release stored emotions from your body by using the power of gesture. My guest Jen Aks will explain this joyful process in this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast. How Did the Power of Gesture Begin? My first question was how did she come up with the Power of Gesture? Jen said she didn’t come up with it. This truly came through her soul and she feels like a passenger on a train being taken through and guided in this experience. It is pure soul work. She’s been a movement practitioner and a dance educator for three decades and she has been moving through life in all sorts of ways. But now, Jen has paired her love of movement with her passion for emotional wellness to help you tell your story with the power of gestures. Early in her life, Jen struggled a lot because she could not find the words to express herself and communicate in the way she wanted to connect. She felt stuck in her body and movement became her language. Jen says dance saved her life and brought her kind of communication to the world. Breaking COVID’s Isolation A few years ago when the pandemic hit, she organically wanted to help people stay connected to their bodies. Knowing first hand what its like to feel disconnected and disembodied, Jen knew the pandemic made things worse with so much isolation happening. Jen decided to try out an idea she had and worked with people she was close to. Her aim was to help them move through their emotions and reconnect them to their bodies. During this process, she just kept saying the words “The power of gesture” as she did this work with people. Over time, Jen realized this process she created to tell your story is a real method that is helping people. The work has been really transformative for her clients and for herself. Jen has free 30-minute workshops every Tuesday at 10am ET and Wednesday at noon ET, because she wants people to give this a try. You Want Me to Move? My first reaction to hearing about this process was, “That is not for me.” I’m not into ecstatic dance and that sort of thing (nothing wrong with it, just not my way of expressing myself). But for some reason, (spirit nudging perhaps) I decided to try a free session. I showed up feeling dread for what Jen might make me do in this online workshop. But there was none of that awkward, embarrassing feeling at all! On zoom, we were in our own little boxes in the gallery view. Everyone stayed seated, and just moved our arms or bodies from the hips up. There was no dancing! It was easy and fun and I fell in love with the process. Tell Your Story in a Group Jen also does this with larger groups where each woman created a gesture and practiced it. Then she put on the music and each woman did her gestures, which we all followed. One by one, we did every woman’s gesture to music all in a row and it was a total blast! I was shocked at how uplifting and joyous this exercise was. That’s why I wanted to have Jen as a guest because I want everyone to know about this practice. It’s fabulous! I asked Jen how she figured out that creating a gesture would help tell your story and help move emotions through the body. Turns out Jen knew this from how her own life unfolded, expressing herself through dance. She knew she was really communicating through her body. At first this whole thing was very experimental. Jen wanted to create an embodiment practice and she played with all sorts of ways to tap into the emotions. From gestures, to music, to repetition, she formulated this methodology which is amazing. Acknowledgement Feels Amazing Doing this in a group provides a high level of acknowledgement as you watch every person follow your personally created gestures. It also creates a safe space to open your heart as the energy spirals up and the vibration elevates. People just don’t get that kind of acknowledgement in society today. One time Jen’s coach asked her what is your mission. She quickly replied, “I want to shift the mindset of humanity one story at a time.” It really is about shifting mindset when you tell your story in a group, there’s tremendous acknowledgement through the shared experience. Surrender the Emotion The most amazing part of this is you do not need to know what every emotion is about that comes up. You just release it and let it move through. Surrender to it and let it go! That’s a beautiful thing in my opinion. I asked Jen what she’s noticed over the last few years of doing this work. Jen says she is, “Blown away by the methodology and how it has evolved.” She feels grateful watching people transform and get unstuck. “It’s been incredible.” Jen also continues to tweak the method as she goes. She’s even done workshops with teenagers, seeing them respond with joy. Her personality works well with this kind of flowing creativity, allowing her to see new possibilities all the time and add components as they come to mind. I’ve talked about working with Jen before in the episode which gave an update on my spiritual adventure. Working with her is how I created the Sunflower Pose. Short Documentaries At the start of COVID, she reached out to friends and created 150 documentaries with each woman having a chance to tell her story. These are 3-5 minute videos and 80 are on her youtube playlist. Plus, she shows them in virtual galleries through zoom from time to time. Example of Transformation Here’s an example of transformation that can occur. One client is in a 10-year relationship that she’s considering leaving. Something happened between them that has interfered with her trust. With Jen’s support, the client created gestures depicting two mounds of cement, which represent the block between them. But through her gestures, the client turned the cement mounds into sand, lowering the height to see past the top. Doing this opened up conversation between them after this amazing session – that was quite a transformation. I can vouch that this work is incredibly powerful. Give it a shot and tell your story with the power of gesture. Jen is kind, super supportive and encouraging through the entire process offering you a new way to express yourself and heal with creativity and joy.

Reading the Tarot Intuitively I asked my guest Bonnie D’Angelo how she started using the Tarot intuitively. She explained how the cards felt magical in her hands, but learning the 78 card meanings felt totally overwhelming. She started to read the 2-inch thick book, trying to memorize things, but it wasn’t clicking with her. Bonnie stumbled upon her mentor who sparked the idea of connecting intuitively with each card. She suggested looking at the images to find the meaning. First she had to find the right deck (The Light Seer’s Tarot Deck) and she worked with several until finding one that spoke to her. Intuitive Tarot Next, Bonnie started pulling one card a day and kept it with her or left it by the bed, without reading it. She spent time with each card in this way. At the same time she put the book aside, so she wasn’t tempted to look up the meanings. This allowed her to dive into the deck intuitively – which is why she calls her work Intuitive Tarot. An interesting twist is that she noticed the card meanings shifted depending on who the intuitive tarot reading was for. She feels into the energy to determine what part of the card stands out most. As I see it, Bonnie built an energetic relationship with her cards, allowing the information to channel through her. What’s great is that she is not bound by what the book says about the cards which gives her a lot of freedom in her readings. Her guides can give her information in her intuitive tarot readings and insights about what is most important for her client to hear. Tarot deck has been around since the Renaissance, and was created around 1430 in Italy. Bonnie doesn’t mean to take anything away from the original meaning of the Tarot and she honors their origin. More on the Tarot in this episode. Spellbound Mystics Bonnie has a mobile shop called Spellbound Mystics. Its a trailer filled with her goods such as crystals, card decks, books, candles, jewelry, statues, smudge sticks and more. She also provides readings there and displays her wares at farmers markets and more. This is what she says about her popup shop: “SpellBound Mystics is a Southwest Florida Mobile Crystal and Spiritual Shop as well as an Online Etsy Shop that brings the magick and healing to you, wherever you are!” At first, Bonnie was nervous giving intuitive tarot readings to people. Sometimes clients needed guidance and other times they were seeking entertainment. She loves when she can help people find clarity about a situation that they’ve been struggling with. I worked at psychic fairs decades ago and what I noticed was there were only five main questions: Love/Relationships Career Money Health Spiritual Growth/Path Both Bonnie and I approach our readings in the same way. It’s about finding what will help the person in your current situation. Addressing whatever the the concern or worry is. We both provide insights and guidance, Bonnie with Intuitive Tarot and me with my intuition. Ready for an intuitive reading with me? Two Favorite Books We went on to talk about a couple of Bonnie’s favorite books: Psychic Witch: A Metaphysical Guide to Meditation, Magick, and Manifestation by Mat Auryn. The book covers the energy of words and all about the elements with exercises and spells, rolling everything in one book. We talked about low magic, also called chaos magic and high magic which is more ceremonial and ritualistic. Most importantly, intention is the key to creating and working with magic. The power of thought is enormous. Her second favorite book is Cracking Open: Adventures of a Reluctant Medium by Isabeau Maxwell. I interviewed Isabeau in this episode! Bonnie loves this book because Isabeau is a regular person who one day just opened up to mediumship, even though she didn’t really want to go there. Bonnie’s Awakening For Bonnie, her awakening started in her dream life, but it evolved over time and changed with each new skill she learned, including yoga. Throughout the process, she’s felt a lot of emotion coming through her and sometimes cried for no reason. I pointed out that tears, laughter, sneezing, and coughing are all signs of releasing. So, this is a good thing – indicating that she was letting go all along the way. A lot of emotions get stored and stuck in your body. Thankfully, you don’t need to understand them completely to have an emotional release. Bonnie’s last words for the listeners were to allow yourself to be in the present moment and witness your life. Take a step back and look at yourself without judgement. Just see where you’re at. Being mindful in your body can open your awareness tremendously.
