Text us & tell us about your Spirit Path now!At this stage of human  & societal development Faern has been looking further and further into stress and how we are attempting to manipulate the area in order for her to see why things so easily go awry for the individual, besides the fact that on a societal level we are living in stress pretty commonly and think we can "regulate" this. Basically- we cannot and we are being told we can and this concept is being wrapped up  into WELLNESS CULTURES- Yoga, Meditation etc.-  right where it doesn't belong, keeping many people in an un-grounded state of being.In this episode Faern goes over why cosmic living from a spiritual perspective will support your health while bypassing the need to "regulate" yourself like a police officer. It's counterintuitive to put anything in between you and your divinity or any spiritual practice.

This is Episode 2 in a series.The previous episode in this series ->  Early History of American SpiritualismDuring the 1730's - 1840's in Colonial America and the then the newly formed United States had two Great Awakenings. This episode is a short overview of this fascinating time of spiritual change.The currently popular term "Move from your head to your heart" actually comes from way back in the very first awakening period. Faern finds it amazing how this history lines up with our current wave of change across the U.S. and the world at large.Give a listen and let us know what you think!Thank you for being here, The Spirits Path Podcast teamSupport the Show.

We are in a very large collective shift which is bringing a lot of people into the spiritual paradigm and there's also an influx of information which is not necessarily described in a very clear way.Have you been curious about why people are saying 3D 4D 5D? Have you been recently confused by the New Age approach to explaining our earthly existence? Faern simplifies one of the most mis presented popular concepts in the current spiritual context: DIMENSIONSWhat is meant by dimensional reality?How can we learn from it?Is 5d a place you go?Give a listen and let us know what you think!Thank you for being here,The Spirits Path Podcast TeamSupport the Show.

This week we have the beginning of an interesting history series on American Spiritualism.

This Spring Equinox in an 8 Year Prep episode is a little longer than the others because there are specific tips at the end which Faern thinks are the most important for this upcoming time period.YES Spring Equinox is technically a day or even a moment HOWEVER the energy of this phase is exponential in value and extends much further than the exact scientific timing of the equinox. In this episode Faern shares her intuitive messaging around this 2024 Equinox. She includes information about the numerology for this year- the 8 year- as well as brings in the current energetics and how they will add to the experience. Thank You for listening & please subscribe to Spirits Path Podcast wherever you can!Episodes mentioned:Refine Your Energy: A How To Begin EpisodeNumerology Basics : Life Path NumberHow We Perceive Energy Is ChangingI'm putting this here because I feel like it:"Lackmind" In hard Timesand this (although it may also be mentioned in the episode):Affirmations : What Are They & How To Use ThemSupport the show

This week's episode is exactly how Faern would teach you how to refine your energy if you were a beginner. HOWEVER any advanced energetic being can use a refresher- not all practices will be the same or taught in the same way. She shares with us WHY this is important to take control of AND three easy things to begin with which will guide you towards the best possible practice of energetic "hygiene" possible.

In this episode Faern returns to defining DOGMA and how when philosophy becomes dogmatic it is inherently unhelpful. To her it is looking like a major source of confusion comes from the limitations often created in translation mixed with people needing to HAVE THE ANSWER so badly or something of the sort. (Our previous episode has more on this). All in All it is important to develop discernment when adding anything into your spiritual practices on your path because there is always another layer of energy we may not have a direct view of but we are ALWAYS interacting within it. Some practices do expire as well- which on one hand could mean no one is paying attention to it, and on the other hand it ran its course and people will benefit from leaving it behind now. It's much more important to take care of your "container" during these abrupt changes on the planet.Thank you for listening!Support the show

This week Faern is talking with us about ENERGY but specifically about the electromagnetic shifts we are receiving from pulses off the sun. Combine this with solar flares, Wars, societal movements and personal emotional states over an extended amount of time and what we get is another big shift.EVERYONE is starting to FEEL and express the sensations in one way or another.Faern is thinking this is going to push all of society into a VERY BIG shift into a much greater understanding beyond where anyone has been as of yet, that we know of or that is speaking of it. Consider it this way- just a few years ago we were talking about moving from head to heart and NOW we are talking about living from an energetic connection to the Divine.Thanks for listening!Support the show

Thank you all for being a part of Spirits Path Podcast in 2023!You hung in there with us as we  moved through pandemonium and then changed the name, this means the world to us and our little production.In this episode Faern gives her interpretation of some pages in BE HERE NOW (starting on page 95) which directly apply to moving into a new zone of spiritual and emotional living. We understand how at this time there are terrible things happening on this planet- while at the exact same time the energetics of earth are practically being completely overhauled and are offering us a more sound and loving framework to exist from. Therein is the challenge of the spiritual being creating their lives in this present moment.Near the end  is a quick wrap up of the most popular episodes of the year and the most consistent cities of our wonderful listeners.Thank You for being here,Here's to more love in 2024Support the show

This episode is a reminder to pay attention to how you are reacting and acting when the world is as "off the charts" as it is now.We here at Spirits Path Podcast understand how challenging it can be for the spiritual or energy aware human and with the influx of an unprecedented combination of historical, energetic, spiritual and humanitarian "data" and are holding in our hearts the light of faith and love and hope that you too can spread it forth.Support the show

Grieving Is Good, but not if we get ahead of ourselves.In this episode Faern goes over some of her personal experience in regards to moving through grief, grieving, mourning, sadness and anger. These things are very commonly smashed together and inevitably misunderstood due to lack of conversation ahead of time. In our society it's set up like some secret until it happens and this is what causes a lot of arrested development especially if you are under a certain age.While it is happening- you might be looking out at the world from a very difficult place and it most likely does not feel good at all- remember injuries cause pain and in healing that broken bone it hurts too. It is the same for emotional aspects of living.It might not feel this way right now, but, grief is good as long as you don't leave yourself hanging.Listen in and let us know your questions when you are ready.Thank you for being here!Big Love from Spirits Path...PS here is Faern's website to find the blog post she mentioned: FAERN.meSupport the show

There is enough going on in the world that we do not need or want to add a complicated self help focus episode into the collective today so we decided to share a short telling of the birth Lord Krishna as a reference of the triumph of light. Take a break today and listen to this magical story where the path of Lord Krishna begins.Support the show

it is impossible to ignore that the world is in much more of a state of duress than the average person should be able to realize.  Simply put, it is impossible for one single person to HOLD all of THAT and still maintain themselves.Furthermore- we here at Spirits Path Podcast do not think anyone should have to while at the exact same time do not believe any part of it should be blindly ignored. Where then does this leave us as individuals?That is what Faern is offering us today- YOU as an INDIVIDUAL absolutely must have a place within yourself to return to because this big picture is going to get worse before it gets better. How long this takes is up to us.Tune into who you are, what you are doing and why. See what you can shift today.In this episode Faern mentions the last episode called  '"Lackmind" In Hard Times'  found HERE. She also points out the series on intentions.

Humanity is in such a massive transition- you'd forget we JUST went through a pandemic, barely beyond it and here we are in the biggest shift yet.On one level- it may not seem this way as of NOW  because it is percolating and a lot of people are trying REALLY REALLY HARD to ignore it. Then on the very next landing  they find out this is not possible and begin to hyper focus on what is NOT working- which unfortunately is likely how we got here to begin with. "LACKMIND in Hard Times" is an episode about just that. NONE of us are in the same boat but yet it is imperative we find ways to pass supplies between the vessels. This week Faern explores what we can do to shift this in a personal way so that we can assist others in doing the same thing. We have to start with ourselves.Listen in and let us know how you are turning your LACKMIND into a new golden perspective.Support the show

Today Faern takes us through the best way to write affirmations as well as WHY each step is important.

This episode is TECHNICALLY about how philosophy and spirituality intersect BUT Faern does take us through a few important cultural aspects in regards to choosing practices. There ARE practices which are meant for as were also created by particular groups of people. It is EXTREMELY spiritual to respect that while also creating conversations around howthis isn't an EXclusionary act but is actually very inclusive.If this topic was interesting for you, we suggest these two episodes:What Is A 'Spirit Path'?11 Minute Meditation: Centering & Holding Spaceand as usual, if you have any questions or topic suggestions Faern mentions an email in most episodes- use that one!Support the show

THIS is the link Faern mentioned in this episode ->Don't miss an episode! http://eepurl.com/gLStk9This week Faern takes us through her personal approach onHow To RE-INTERPRET Thinking A LotLet's get real here- some people actually think just anyone can at any given point in time stop thinking about a thing. I mean, SURE everyone has the capacity to do so but do they have the tools AND the knowledge on how their brain works? Because this goes beyond thinking differently- we are literally wired in different ways.It's one thing to understand emotions and how we have interpreted them and built upon this understanding within our own experiences and expression thereof and a whole other thing if we have a different way of naturally approaching our lives.With this Faern gives us "Thought Galaxies" as a method of sorting out what is and is not helpful as according to whatever it is you are trying to do- whether it be daily life or a dream project, if you like to think this episode will give you a way to cross this thinking with how you feel and whether the thought series is actually helping you in the moment.Listen in and let us know what is most interesting about it.reminder, this->Don't miss an episode! http://eepurl.com/gLStk9

One of the most common on-going topics of this podcast is how to be you- but we haven't so much so often spoken about HOW to be TRUE to that YOU with a long term course in mind.Today Faern is walking us through some of her thoughts around how important this is- the tip top of the peak of spiritual work- the VERY thing that keeps us going and often overlooked.One thing to keep in mind- not one path is similar to the next. Not student to teacher especially, and we think this attempt at the replication  of a teacher's experience actually blocks us from our own- IF we never take the time to broaden our perspective to allow in a greater awareness.Have a listen, let us know what you think- and don't miss the special announcement within the episode.Have a great week!PS if you are looking for Spiritual Guidance check out this post on Faern's site

If you are human you have likely had this "stuck" feeling and if you happened to spend a lot of time there- let's say DWELL on it- you may want to hear what Faern is saying about it today.She is sharing with us her thoughts on how this feels and how it is mostly how we see it...Also- something she left out of the episode- if you are not sure where to turn - let's say on your spiritual path- this can be a challenge but is actually a really good place to be as long as it isn't chaotic for you. If you want to see about talking to another spiritual mind look at THIS on her personal website.Thank You for listening!

In this episode Faern shares with us the holistic perspective of Yoga and how we can weave the approach into our lives by understanding what we place in the way without even realizing it.This is our final episode in this brief series. Be sure to give a listen to the previous posts.Thank you for choosing to listen to Hungry For Apples Podcast

They say "life is what you make of it" and more times than not the person saying it doesn't know what they mean either...What they MEAN to say is "life is going to change you" and then follow up with "all the choices you make have impact"...In this episode Faern draws our attention to some possibly overlooked transformative moments which inevitably are not ACTUALLY "missed" but are more-so components (energetic) we don't quite yet understand.Take a moment and look back- in a positive light- at what has changed for you in the last three or four years- what impact has this had? how did something assist you which was unexpected...? maybe you studied something, or moved abruptly- or some other such thing, what hidden benefits can you find here? (These are the "energetics" Faern refers too a lot.)Thank you for listening & Enjoy!

"just because you can doesn't mean you should"We can ignore what is going on around us, but this will not help anyone involved- most assuredly it will not help you.In our last episode Faern took us through the energetics of one way we individually interact with our lives- and this week she is illustrating how we can make active choices that do not include increased ignorance about what is going on ( as in a separation from events- eyes shut to changes) by providing new avenues for how we experience the sensations created by what we are consuming.I know, that's a lot of words... here is an example...On social media we very easily look at much more than we realize- and these pieces of content do shift how we are looking at what is going on around us at that very same time, in this confused space many people find stress, discomfort and so on. This might look like you unexpectedly becoming annoyed at someone that hasn't even said anything to you yet- but you have just looked up from some stressful chaotic global  political information and your mind hasn't yet been able to create a disconnect from that and you react in kind. This has nothing to do with the person infront of you nor the information blasting at you from your phone. What can YOU do in order to take control of that? What would actually work for you?That is what Faern had on her mind with this episode...

Have you felt drawn to reconnect with the earth but feel as though the way you're going about it isn't really hitting the spot?This week Faern shares with us about how we can gain insight about ourselves and our lives by understanding emotional energy and how it works. In this very supportive episode she is describing a bit of a collective energetic update while giving us tips on how to work with it while life spirals open in so many different directions at this time or seemingly at ONE time. Diving into the energetic nature of how we live our lives in order to circumnavigate old emotional recourse assists us to move through the chaos and into a heartfelt perspective of reality.Let us know how you feel about this episode, contact email is within.Please find our YouTube, it's new...

A few weeks ago Faern brought up the question 'are you avoiding joy?' which seems to be a hot topic, again, with all that is going on in the world.THIS week we ponder together while looking at the question 'Are Joy and Bliss Equal? and how they can be confused. Faern also discusses  what our true nature is by way of SatChitAnanda from the Advaita Vedanta perspective which turns out to be much more direct than you'd initially expect.Let us know what you think about that by emailing us, you'll hear it in the episode.Have a great week&Thank you for being here

Thank you for tuning in to episode 5 of our ongoing series calledThe Yogic ApproachThis week we are looking at the Niyamas 'observances'. If you have not heard the previous episodes in this series-START HERE:The Yogic Approach (Part 1): Ways we can approach YogaThe Yogic Approach (Part 2): The 8 Limbed PracticeThe Yogic Approach (Part 3): The KleshasThe Yogic Approach (Part 4): The YamasThe Niyamas continue the "backbone" of Yoga as written by Patanjali in The Yoga Sutras. Faern walks us through the basics of what they are and how we can apply them to our lives.If you have an interest of creating your life around Yoga- Faern highly recommends taking the time to not only explore postures and breathing but to investigate and study Yoga Philosophy and the associated scripture. For example the Bhagavad Gita.Hungry for Apples Podcast is on the look out for people to have conversations with.Here is a loose list of whom we are searching for- people working with very current spiritual concepts, Travel to share Kirtan, study intently Sanskrit & scripture related to Yoga & Tantra, shifting addictions with international plant medicines,  living life in a unique way- Artist, musician, travel, expat, cultural anthropologist, Yoga Guide.... if you feel your life exemplifies one of these categories AND you want to speak about it publicly email us via the email Faern mentions in every single episode.& THANK YOU for your time and interest!

You don't need to be into spirituality to have heard someone at some time to say something along the lines of "they have a weird vibe", am I wrong?"high vibes""low vibes""hold a vibration""high vibe live""low vibrational activity"What does it all mean?This week Faern takes us through what a vibration is- by definition- and discusses her thoughts around what this all means, in a basic way. Let us know what questions you have around these kinds of topics so that we can add on. The crossover between science and spirituality is becoming more and more mainstream which on one hand is a good thing but at the same time is creating a whole new kind of messy spiritual playground when it comes to explanations that are merely good imaginative ideas which are lacking the link to knowledge and source.*This week she also reads a Pablo Neruda poem

This is part 4 of our ongoing series called The Yogic ApproachToday we are focused on The Yamas as described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. The "backbone" of Yoga Philosophy- restraints.Faern walks us through the basics of what these are, how we can look at their knowledge and apply it to our lives. She also looks into the word Yama and shares with us some simple insights from connecting the two.The next Yogic Approach episode will focus on the Niyamas.

Have you ever actually considered something like that?"Things that can bring you the fullest joy are possibly being actively avoided"- FaernIt's one thing to be generally happy and go through the day to day but it's a whole other thing to realize you have been simply overlooking what may bring you the fulfillment you ponder as being missing.That is what this episode is about-Our host Faern takes us through a personal experience revolving around re-learning how to find joyful things in her life.The Yogic Approach returns next week with the Yammas

This episode begins with Faern giving us a basic explanation on how we can use the idea of  'entrainment' and how we already do naturally in our daily lives and practices.We then move into a Guided HamSa Meditation and Breathing Practice.We already learned SoHum last year- which is very similar and to some might even seem the same but given some time and attention one will call you deeper within yourself. Neither is more valid than the other- in fact the difference in the spelling is Sanskrit grammar- not any hierarchy, but honestly they FEEL different from each other.Test them out and get back to us.The intention of the meditation is taking part with 'entrainment', testing the waters, so to speak. This simple meditation is very profound- Faern suggests trying it on your own at different times of day and lengths of time This type of Meditation is focus building as well as calming.This is a very good place to begin with meditation practices but it is also a quintessential experience many people return to over years and years if not their whole lifetime. {Same with SoHum}

Have you ever wondered how to rid yourself of all the ways you unconsciously react to life experiences?Before you do that you have to know what they are and how they came to be such a large part of how you perceive the world around you. One way to do that is to get an idea of how ignorance or obstacles  appear from within.Today we are looking at The Kleshas in part 3 of our Yogic Approach series. The Kleshas, when put simply, are precisely this breakdown.Give a listen and see for yourself if they come through in your daily life.
