Messy, Luminous, Being Podcast

Experiencing the death of a beloved one is one of our shared human experiences. In this episode, Sarah shares her experience of the death of her father and the incredible life lessons she found in that process. Messy Luminous Being is about the messy realities of the spiritual life. It's about how our meditation, yoga and other inner practices can illuminate what is sacred and luminous within us as we navigate crazy modern lives.

Are you successful? How do you define success for yourself, and how does this impact what you feel grateful for? In this episode, I share my own evolving feelings about the idea of succcess, which is another code-word for self-worth. And I also talk about what happens when we Slow Down enough to re-imagine other frameworks for our worth and ways of defining what success in life means for us.

We have a tendency to go looking for the things we want. It seems counter-intuitive to sit down and have faith that those things will come to you. And it is. In so many ways, inner practices like meditation work differently than everything else we're used to in the busy world of accomplishing tasks and getting things done. This process of Being, of receiving, of becoming, feels so magical when we get into the flow of it. But we need a little mindset shift in order to get there! When we sit down, we aren't looking for calm or insight. We are waiting for them to come to us. Enjoy this episode!    (Hey lovely!

This episode is all about discovering our personal sovereignty and honouring the process of birth — whether that's a child, a creative project, or an aspect of our lives. Clem Cocquet of @wisewomenvillage is a birth and postpartum doula and shares some beautiful reflections on the three aspects of preparation, emergence and integration that come with the birthing process. We also discuss stages of women's life journeys and how we can expand our awareness of when the energy of creation and expansion should be channelled inward.

When we start something new, it always feels a little hard and awkward. We're not yet sure we're doing things right. We're getting used to everything. But if we stick with a practice long enough, what happens? For awhile we may get into a grove and just enjoy the ride. Yet journeys are always evolving and this episode is about what happens when you feel ready for a new depth or a shifting of gears. We're talking yoga journeys here, but this process is really applicable to any practice in our life. Enjoy!

Our body is a highly intelligent, self-healing organism. But do we believe it? And do we know how to allow the body to inact this intelligence?

There is a middle way between our relentless push to Make Things Happen and Giving Up. A middle way of working beyond trying to control every step in a process and completely letting go. This episode is about the power of stillness, the power of simply observing, noticing and Seeing More. And it's about what can happen when we try this middle way.

What goes in comes out. It's easy to dismiss this simple truth when life gets busy and meals start to feel like one more thing to juggle. But at a basic level we know that the fuel we put into our body is one of the foundations of our well-being and influences so much about our energy and the way we feel. This episode will re-inspire you to pay attention to what you are putting in. Charlotte shares her reflections on how stress & perfectionism influence our health, the truth about blood sugar balance, and how we can get back into the joy of good nutrition in super simple ways. She also shares a few quick wins to get back on track!

Welcome to Season 4 of the Messy Luminous Being Podcast. We're starting this season with a conversation about our energy — how it gets knocked out of alignment and how to retune to what is true and beautiful inside of us. We are primarily energetic beings, and the way we feel determines so much of how we experience our life. Everyday people and experiences either help us retune to a beautiful state inside ourselves, or knock us out of tune. So how can we practice retuning to ourselves in the midst of messy real life?

In this episode I talk to Justine Nagaur about how our energy field works and the way it underlies our experience. We discuss the transformation that happened to Justine when she stopped resisting physical pain and invited pain in as a teacher. We explore the intertwining of the physical and the energetic. And we have fun talking crystals, moon circles and so much more. This is your permission to explore the energetic world within you. Connect with Justine on IG @justinenagaur and www.aurorafacets.com (and go find out about her amazing Moon Circle!)
