As this podcast goes to air we have just moved through the Spring Equinox which means we are officially in the energy of Spring. Spring is filled with so many beautiful colors emerging into the world. It's like all the colors of the rainbows were buried under the earth doing winter and down here that come… emerging from Mother Earth. Maybe you notice this with your energy as well. Your aura is filled with light and color. Color is not just a visual experience but also a form of energy. It's a manifestation of your energy and what you are taking in and giving out. Light is energy in motion... happy.. sad.. stressed or happy. You can learn to empower your energy, to radiant your light and protect your light as well. The auric field contains information about your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I believe that the colors and patterns in the auric field can provide insights into a person's state of being and can be used for healing and spiritual purposes. Your aura is the blueprint of your soul. It is the first line of defense for your physical presence. I see this with my clients. I work with a lot of empaths who come in drained and tired. Their auras are dimensioned and they wonder what's wrong. Your aura is constantly changing depending on .. YOU! In my recent Masterclass, the Aura of an Empath was about the way in which you can control your energy and the auric field that surrounds you. It takes slowing down, which is another thing I am noticing: people are having a hard time slowing down and focusing.. also a result of what you are pulling into your aura. The relationship between color and energy lies in the fact that color is a manifestation of energy which we will talk about in our episode today. When light interacts with objects, it can be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. Our aura also absorbs, transmits, and reflects. It's the blueprint of our soul and our first line of defense. What are you absorbing in your aura? What are you reflecting out to the world? Colors and patterns in the auric field can provide insights into a person's state of being and can be used for healing and spiritual purposes. Colors can evoke various emotions and moods, which is why I started learning about color. I was moody all the time and couldn't seem to control my energy. So, I started studying light and color. I began to sit in a room with light projected all around me. Here's what I noticed: Too much blue... made me too blue and sad. Too much green ... envious and jealous. Too much red... angry and full of fire ( and always seem to bring on a speeding ticket.) This taught me to slow down... lol .. find balance in the color and energy I was taking in around me... sitting in a room or outside in my environment. Purple and orange... feed my creativity and open my crown to spiritual knowledge. Yellow was cleansing and awakening. Indigo blue at night was calming. The colors around us feed our aura. The energy of light has a significant impact on our emotions and perceptions. Our aura holds this information and we can learn to work with our aura.. to cleanse it.. to strengthen it.. to focus it and protect us. Spring is here and it's full of beautiful colors. What is fueling your energy today? You can learn to master your energy. In my Empowered Spirit Private mentoring program, I help you to understand how all this relates to your energy ad the way in which you show up. Do you feel lost in transition? Maybe you have gone through a loss, a divorce, or a job change and feel unsure of yourself. Or maybe you are ready to create a daily spiritual practice but don't know how. In my private mentoring with you, I help you build the skills you need, energetically, working on the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual layers. We create a new blueprint for your aura and your physical world to help you show up feeling empowered, radiant and confident in your life. I have some new opening for the spring season. Schedule a Spiritual Makeover Breakthrough call with me and let's see what the #1 thing is that you can do to empower your life in this new season. Click here. In today's episode, I bring this idea of color and light forward with my guest, Heather Eck. Heather is a Synesthesia Artist & Color Alchemist,whobrings extraordinary color insights, perspectives, and wisdom to everyone around her. In this episode we talk about art, the creative edge, art as spiritual work, color, therapeutic art, standing on the edge

Ep 292Teachings from the Medicine Wheel - Channeled Messages for Spring

As this podcast goes to air we are moving into the Spring Equinox which begins on March 20th. There are so many changes and shifts going on in the Universe. There is an underlying vibration of chaos which perpetuates the isolation and lonliness in the world. Sometimes it can feel easiery to stay in our own world rather then open up especially if you are feeling vunerable in your energy. And even moreso if you are an Empath and sensitive to others. The tendency is to stay in your own bubble… harboring these feelings.. wounding in your blame or shame.. feeling like a victim to life. I understand. Let's just drop that right here... I understand. I have been there. Many winters past I have felt this with lots of resistance to open up. But not anymore. I have broken this pattern. And now.. I am available to help you do the same. I have created the Radiant Light Method…the very method I used to help me process this energy, recognize my victim energy, understand my boundaries.. what I take in and what I put out… and how to reset my energy so that I can be empowered to take charge of my life. This very same method is now my Soul.work 101 program.. the Radiant Light Method which begins on the Equinox, Wed, March 20th. The Season of Spring is all about radiating your light and planting your seeds of manifesting. Have you had some classes in energy work, maybe a Reiki certification, crystal energy? Do you recognize that you are empathic but don't really know how to work with the energy body to align your vibration? Do you get drained easily by other people's energy? If you answered yes, this program is for you. We begin with the basic yet powerful… and the key to understanding how to feel the aura so that you can create healthy energy boundaries. Did you know that the aura of an Empath is quite different from the aura of other people? If you want to know more about how the program works and about your Aura, my Masterclass The Aura of Empath is happening again on March 17th. Experience the class and see how this can help you. Click here. Hint: I always offer bonuses for showing up to the Masterclass! In today's epsiode, I wanted to talk about a teaching from the Medicine Wheel - spring Energy. Spring, as I teach in the Medicine Wheel, is in the direction of the East, where the sun rises and where we look for inspiration to begin. This new direction offers you hope to start again and to plant new seeds for your path. The powers of the East that come in for Spring are new beginnings and change allowing you to take that step forward into a new world of possibilities and to look forward to what lies ahead. The element of Spring is Fire! Lighting your soul … igniting the passion of your purpose. The Qualities are clear vision, intentions, and the consciousness of light. In this direction, knowledge comes to consciousness. As we walk into the East, we walk in a new world.. a world filled with hope and anticipation for things yet to come. So often, I see people setting their new intention on the calendar new year.. but this hasn't allowed for the growth that your dreams of winter bring in. Now is the time to awaken to these new possitilibies as you image yourself opening your door to this direction as the sun rises everyday. Welcome these new possibilities now and set net intentions for what you want to grow. The plant associated with the direction of the east is tobacco. In many native traditiaons, tobacco is an offering of gratitude to mother earth. It is considered sacred and when smoked in it's purest forms clears the ind, calem the soul and helps you attune to the energies of Earth, In the sacred sweat lodge, we take tobacco close to our hearts, offer our intentions and release it into the fire. It becomes a sacred act of intention . One of The stone associated with the East is amber, a fossilied resin. An array of colos but most comon is a honey colored stone. Amber helps to relieve the negative energies and brings cleansing and renewal. Our power animal and messenger totem is Eagle, the ruler of the air, representing power, is vision, power and success. Eagle inspires you to reach higher and become more than you think you are capable of. Eagle energy brings the message of being courageous and really stretching your limits and seeing what you can do. Eagle brings a sense of courage and a desire to explore and grow. We can expand the power animals to all winged creatures reminding you to fly high as you set your new intenti

Ep 291Channeled Messages: Transitioning into Spring
This episode is being brought to you by Forecast Salon, located in Homewood, Alabama.

As this podcast goes to air we are going to the final weeks of Winter. We have the last new Moon of Winter coming in on the 10th. It's a Super new Moon in Pisces.. it's deep.. it's awakening you at your deepest level calling you to awaken to your dreams. Pisces is the sign of the healer, and this energy can help you heal some of your deepest wounds. Healing starts by observing your emotions and reactions. It begins when you allow yourself to pause and reflect on your old patterns. Coming out of the "Caves of Winter", it is a time to reflect on the dreams that have been coming in. It is a time to refresh your intentions with this reflection of your life. As we notice the cosmic forces and the weather patterns, one day it may feel like spring and the next back to winter. There is a push-pull of energy. To help with that, it is important to do some cord cutting and let go of old patterns that keep pushing you back. Allow the new energies coming in to help you make these adjustments to your life so that you can move forward with clarity. It is a time to allow the depth of your Soul to speak to you. It's a time to connect with your guides to bring in these messages of your dreams. It is important to recognize our shadows, call them out, and name them so that you can grow and shift them. We don't always have to carry the same energy with us. This is one of the reasons I love the seasonal transitions. They allow you the opportunity to shift and make changes. Working in the Medicine Wheel teaches you how to realign each session, course correct, and begin again. This new moon will start the energy of the eclipse season, bringing on big changes. The energy starts to open with the first eclipse happening on March 24-25, a Lunar Eclipse. The big one everyone is talking about is the total Solar Eclipse on April 8. Eclipses are dramatic "wild cards" in our horoscopes. They are some of the most dramatic tools that the universe uses to get us to pay attention to areas in our life that need to change. They uproot us, surprise us, and get us moving. They shake us out of our feelings of complacency so that we can move from one level of maturity to another, to a higher plane, and they work very rapidly. Eclipses want us to change, and change we do! We will be talking more bout this eclipse season as it unfolds. I mention it now so that you can start to prepare your energy for them. Change can be hard. This seasonal change from Winter to Spring is one of the hardest transitions for many people. As we start to awaken to come oiut of Spring.. we feel our own inner caves.. which can create feelings of being isolated in the world. The protective energy we have been in can create feelings of seperation and lonliness. But as I see it.. this coccon of energy is helping you to grow.. to access your wisdom.. to break through patterns of your ancestors… known or unknown this is what is happening deep within. Here's the thing.. if you are super sensitive in your emotions and feelings. If you have felt this isolation, it's important to recoginze yoru energy. It's very easy right now to take it all personal, letting the isolation continue. However, a better way to use your energy is to start to notice what your feelings are so that you can stand in your energy and not take on all the other people's energy that is also feeling this. LIke attracts like… so you want to recognize your energy first.. then you can start to release the excess emotions that have come in rather than accumulate everyone's else energy as you start this awakening process. Perhaps now is the time for an Energy Clearing Session. Have you gotten away from your spiritual practice? Or maybe you don't have one at all. I do have some new opening spaces for my private mentoring Empowered Spirit Program. A program where I help you repattern and learn tools and techniques to break free to empower your body, mind, emotions, and Spirit. Schedule a Spiritual Makeover Breakthrough Call with me and let's see what the #1 thing is that you can do to break out of winter and release these old patterns. Take a leap in consciousness and try to understand that everything you've experienced is serving your evolution in some way. It is teaching you something, and even though it may be heart wrenching and painful, , it is helping your energy evolve. It is helping your soul's growth, one experience at a time. It's important to believe that you can break through and create a change. How you adapt i

As this podcast goes to air we are moving through the release phase of this last full moon of Winter offering you the opportunity to release old patterns. You may notice this through your emotional body, which affects your mental body. We can get caught in the throes of winter.. feeling stuck, isolated, and even lonely. There is a lot of this going on in humanity. Feelings of being a victim to life's circumstances which only take you deeper and deeper into this dark shadow energy. Know that you are not alone.. many are feeling this too. Winter can create a cocoon of energy … like a huge big blanket. But now is the time to start opening up that blanket, shifting your habits, noticing the emotions and how they are affecting the mind. Our mindset is crucial right now. So it's not about bypassing these feelings but rather about shinning light on them and bringing them forward. Winter can create a cocoon of energy … like a huge big blanket. But now is the time to start opening up that blanket, shifting your habits, noticing the emotions and how they are affecting the mind. Our mindset is crucial right now. It's not about bypassing these feelings but rather about shinning light on them and bringing them forward. What are the habits that you are perpetuating? I've been talking about the "Bless her heart, poor Terri" energy that was showing up at night before bed. These little outburst of energy. So I named it. I recognized her. I loved her. And now she hasn't been showing up as much and when she does start to appear… I bring her forward and we shift the pattern. There is strength coming forward from this. Patterns are changing. This is how we begin to unwind these patterns and re-pattern the brain. Do you find yourself in old patterns? Are you caught in limiting beliefs. Does the Winter have you stuck in a low vibration of energy. Perhaps now is the time for an energy clearing session. Schedule an in-person or virtual session. Have you gotten away from your spiritual practice? Or maybe you don't have one at all. I do have some new opening spaces for my private mentoring Empowered Spirit Program.

Schedule a Spiritual Makeover Breakthrough Call with me and let's see what the #1 thing is that you can do to break out of winter and release these old patterns. In today's episode, my guest, Brandy Gillmore, reinforces this entire message in her book, Master Your Mind and Energy to Heal Your Body. You can be your own cure. Her story is miraculous and very empowering. She'd had both a car accident and then a fall, which had changed her entire life. On her "better" days, she relied on a wheelchair, walker, or cane to venture outside. However, on her worst days, she was confined to her bed. Doctors had given up on her telling her there was no cure. Despite the failures, Brandy refused to give up. She knew that the placebo effect had been scientifically proven, demonstrating that the mind could, in fact, influence the physical body. This realization fueled her determination to uncover the how. In this episode, we talk about the power of the mind, optimism, subtle emotions that affect our being, biophotons, light, how pain shows up, past life, being present, and the ways in which you can heal yourself, be your own cure and create new neuropathways. Brandy Gillmore, my guest today, is a researcher and mind-body healing expert who has been captivating audiences worldwide with her incredible ability to demonstrate radical healing using only the mind. She has even shown visual proof of the power of the mind using medical thermal imaging. Due to these breakthrough results, her case studies have been published in a prestigious medical journal. She has also delivered a mind-expanding TEDx talk and has been featured in several documentaries. Brandy's groundbreaking discoveries stemmed from her own debilitating injury. After an accident in 2003 left her disabled, in excruciating pain, and without hope of recovery, Brandy began searching for a cure. Through years of exploring every avenue for healing, Brandy eventually discovered obscure research that changed the course of her life and resulted in a complete recovery. Now, she is releasing her brand-new cutting-edge book, Master Your Mind and Energy to Heal Your Body, where she shares the hidden research that is the key to her success! Several researchers and

Ep 289Wellness Witchery - A Magickal Approach with Laurel Woodward

As this podcast goes to air we are moving through the Full Moon in Virgo which brings in some grounding for all of us. The depth of winter can be isolating and lonely even creating some depression, but the light is returning. The interesting thing about this Full Moon is that it is what is called a Micro Full Moon, meaning this full moon is when the Moon's orbit is farthest away from Earth. This offers you time to focus in on your intentions. Where can you go in deep into the dreams that have been calling to you from winter? What small micro steps can you take to help you move through this last part of winter? We've also moved into Pisces season, represented by two fish swimming in opposite directions representing both the light and dark, which we need to experience all of life to learn and grow. Pisces is deep, sensitive and wise with these energies. It's the last of the zodiac wheel. With this energy you may be noticing that there is a lot of chaos and struggle in the world along with the awakening and inspiring energies of the new season ahead. You may be feeling this push-pull of energy. It can create mixed messages for you... You want to open up, yet you feel caught in the deeper layers of your Spirit, which has created a comfort zone for you. The depth of winter can feel like this. Yes, you want to get outside. Yes, you want warmer weather. But, the old patterns and even some victim energy pulls you back and keeps you stuck. I talked about this last week and where I feel my shadows creating that victim consciousness. But naming it.. bringing awareness to it.. being present is so valuable in helping to heal it. Honestly, the "Bless her Heart Poor Terri" energy only showed up once last week. And it moved quickly. Our shadows do teach us. The Full moon .. Micro or not.. pulls on your energy. It does affect your Aura, especially if you are an Empath. Did you know that Empaths have different auras than others? Your Auras can pull this excess emotional energy in and then become drained by it. Want to learn more about the Aura of an Empath? Join me for my next Masterclass on March 6th. If you are highly sensitive to the emotions and energies of the cosmos and others and you find yourself absorbing and experiencing the feelings of those around you, this Masterclass is for you. In this episode, I continue the discussion on ways to add magic and self-care into your life right now. My guest is Laurel Woodward. Her latest book is called Wellness Witchery: A Magickal Approach to Nourishing the Body, Mind & Spirit. We talk about being present, adding small meditations, little bits of magic, and how your thoughts and energy become a part of the formula; we have what we need all around us, getting outside, and crafting your way to a higher quality of life by integrating a magickal mindset. Laurel Woodward is a writer, gardener, and cook living a magickal life in the Pacific Northwest. She has been following a solitary, Nature-centric practice for more than 20 years. She is the author of Kitchen Witchery, Backyard Garden Witchery, and Wellness Witchery.

Follow them on Instagram @forecastsalon or find them online at https://www.forecastsalon.com/ and check out their latest in stylist innovation at @clubforecastsalon on Instagram. As this podcast goes to air, we just moved through the first of the Super New Moons coming in. It was in Aquarius and it also opened us up to the Lunar New Year, Year of the Dragon which I talked all about in last week's episode. I offered a channeled meditation to help you align your energies with this. As the intensity begins to decrease a little, you might notice your inspiration does, too. There is a lot of chaos in the world, creating feelings of isolation and loneliness. This creates a depressed state in the energy field. We are in the depths of winter, yet an awakening is starting to happen. You may be feeling this transition within you. Sometimes it shows up as fear… as lack.. creating this isolation. This is the hardest of seasonal transitions. I know for me.. I have been there in feeling lonely. One of the ways I handle these feelings is by taking care of myself. Putting time and attention into my body, my diet, my habits.. meditaiton…breathing.. breathing is so important. I took it for granted for so long but it is the root of our excitense. This is where you can go to shift the memory of the patterns stored in your brain. It brings me back to the source of who you are the I am energy.… If you feel you are down or have been hard on yourself, now is the time to connect with your higher self and break up this old pattern. The energy we are in now will encourage you to turn this self-defeating energy around. There is a lot of new light to connect with to help you reinforce your 2024 visions. It's not a time to rush, but to ease into this transition… finding a slow and steady discipline will add up to bigger changes as Spring approaches. So… maybe are feeling a deep loneliness within yourself. It's ok. Winter pulls the soul deep. It naturally wants to hibernate, yet there begins a yearning to return to the world. This is where we are right now. Just know with all the outside forces, the shiny objects, you can struggle with the inspiration to to empower yourself. Know that you are not alone in these feelings. Many are also in this bubble of isolation, creating separation from the Soul. Finding ways to connect with your inner light is key. The feelings don't define you. Look at it as a temporary state that allows you to do some deep work with the darkness that you feel. We all have shadows. Name your shadow. My teacher, Rita Rivera Fox, a great nagua, teacher of the dream world, asked me if I had a name for this shadow that kept showing up. To be vulnerable, I have this energy that shows up sometimes right before I fall asleep. I start crying. I let her cry, but … what's underneath? Call it up. There is such great teaching here instead of perpetuating the pattern. So I gave her a name. Now, if you are from the south, you will get this. Her name is "Bless her Heart". So now, at night, when she shows up to pull my day down, I recognize her. There she is "Bless her Heart"… I offer her gratitude. The pattern is easing. The humor is priceless. Yes, My experience shows me that these deep lonely feelings can teach you that it is time to connect you. Maybe it is time for a spiritual massage like Reiki. t's time to stop searching out there and find the heart of who you are. I do have just the think to help with all of this. You are invited to my first Energy Mastery Virtual Retreat - Saturday - Feb 24th 1pm-4pm - (It's a full moon.) Radiate Confidence: Cultivating Inner Power to Open up to the Spring. Join us on this transformative journey and give yourself the gift of self-care and spiritual nourishment. Lots of spiritual tools, The RITES as I call them.

As this podcast goes to air It's the Luna New Year also known as the Chinese New Year. We welcome in the Year of the Drago. The term 'Lunar New Year' is increasingly used to refer to festivals in other countries that take place at the same time and with many of the same traditions as in China. The terms are interchangeable. Lunar New Year (or Spring Festival) is really the broader description of the celebration of the new year based on the lunar calendar. While celebrations vary across the several Asian countries that participate in Lunar New Year, you can definitely expect tons of "lucky" foods and a generally stunning celebration, lots of red envelopes filled with money, and people wishing for good health, wealth, and prosperity. Lanterns, envelopes, and dumplings. Oh my! Celebrate with traditional foods like dumplings, which symbolize good luck and health. And the popular long noodle dishes, longevity noodles, are meant to represent a long life. As the new year begins, it's a culinary blessing for everyone who eats the dish. Another way of wishing good health, wealth, and prosperity is by giving or receiving red envelopes filled with money which is a way of wishing good health, wealth, and prosperity. And lastly, to honor this day open you doors to let good luck enter. Take a few moments and follow the channeled meditation so that you can align your energy with all this good fortune coming in. Call in dragon energy to bring forward your wealth. Bring some of that magic your way and have fun! Thanks again for listening.
