Hello there, Lotus Petals! Thank you for joining us in another episode of the Muses of the Crystal Lotus! Today, we are taking a closer look at the Chakra Balancing Educational Series offered by the shoppe. Last week, we discussed aura photography and how it allows us to see our bodies' energy visually. Energy can be manipulated in multiple ways, and one way is to explore chakra work. The muses worked hard to put together a complete chakra balancing series to help you on your journey to open and balance your seven main energy centers. Great News!

Hello there, Lotus Petals! Thank you for joining us in another episode of the Muses of the Crystal Lotus! Have you ever had an aura photograph of yourself made? This episode demonstrates and discusses the latest event at the Crystal Lotus with Sondra Lambert’s aura photography. Because energy work is important, we wanted to share our aura photographs so you can see a visual representation of energy at play. Energy is in and around us at all times. Since we can’t see it, it can be challenging for some to believe or identify with energy medicine. Once you see energy, like in aura photography, it becomes easier to conceptualize and do self-work through energy medicine, such as with our Chakra Balancing Educational Series. Great News!

Hello there, Lotus Petals! Thank you for joining us in another episode of the Muses of the Crystal Lotus!

Hello there, Lotus Petals! Thank you for joining us in another episode of the Muses of the Crystal Lotus! Valentine's Day is coming up. Do you know the history of Valentine's Day? Shanna educates us on Valentine's history in this episode as we prepare to get in our love feelings. Who knew that sending cards and flowers to our loved ones started with crimes and forbidden displays of affection! Or giggle listening to the southern twang as we talk about Valentine's Day memories. What is love and Valentine's Day discussion without talking about sex? As mentioned in the previous episode, the book club's first book – The Power of Shakti – talks a bit about how the gates to Shakti are located mostly through the womb. We start discussing a few sections of the book and how they align with the love discussion, and similar talks will take place in our book club. Again, if you haven't joined the book club, you can do so here: www.facebook.com/groups/clselevatebookclub We haven't finished the book, which is the first time reading it.

Hello there, Lotus Petals! Thank you for joining us in another episode of the Muses of the Crystal Lotus! We start the New Year off with an in-depth discussion and vocabulary lessons. The word of the day is "hyperbole." The dictionary definition of hyperbole is an obvious and intentional exaggeration or the extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally. Aside from our laughs and jokes at Stephanie's expense, this episode dives into what can make or break New Year's Resolutions. A couple of weeks after the start of the New Year, the goals that we set forth tend to fall by the wayside, and we want to see you succeed in your journey. We are also launching a book club! We talk a bit more about the book club in this episode. You can join virtually here: www.facebook.com/groups/clselevatebookclub. The first book we are reading is called The Power of Shakti by Padma Aon Prakasha.

Happy New Year! The Crystal Lotus Shoppe has all sorts of new and exciting goals set up for 2021! This episode gives a sneak peek into how the Muses plan on incorporating what we do into our community to help others on their wellness journey. We finish up our discussion on the Four Agreements, leaving the best for last – always do your best! This agreement is an excellent topic of conversation for New Year's Resolutions, and we invite you to listen and consider what it means for you always to do your best with self-compassion and grace.
We are continuing the discussion of The Four Agreements, written by Don Miguel Ruiz. The book dives into a code of conduct based on ancient wisdom that advocates for freedom from those self-limiting beliefs and needless suffering. The third of the four agreements we discuss today is, "Always be impeccable with your words." We have all heard the saying, "sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will never hurt me." Well, we are here to tell you that words DO have the power to hurt people and ourselves. We invite you to join us for this conversation about how we can use our words more mindfully to be a force of good and compassion.
We are continuing the discussion of The Four Agreements, written by Don Miguel Ruiz. The book dives into a code of conduct based on ancient wisdom that advocates for freedom from those self-limiting beliefs and needless suffering. The second of the four agreements we discuss today is, "Don't take anything personally." This conversation gets personal. We have all been victim to words and situations that leave us feeling conflicted. This agreement is a big one, ya'll. We get deep and transparent about how interactions in our lives affect us mentally and emotionally. Yes, we even touch on bullying. We invite you to join us for this in-depth conversation and explore how we can improve our lives and the lives of others.
In this episode, we are diving into the topic of personal codes of conduct and ethics. Every day, we find ourselves in situations that challenge our ethics and may even show up as self-limiting beliefs or barriers in our daily lives. The Four Agreements is a book written by Don Miguel Ruiz that dives into a code of conduct based on ancient wisdom that advocates for freedom from those self-limiting beliefs and needless suffering. The first of the four agreements we discuss today is, "Don't make assumptions." We invite you to listen and join us in this discussion about how we can use the Four Agreements to level up our lives.

What would you like the Muses of the Crystal Lotus to talk about in our upcoming episode? We are looking to discuss many things that fall in line with the purpose and mission of the muses. Would you like to hear philosophical conversations or science-based ones? What about quantum physics? Today, we launch into random thoughts and expansive ideologies. Join us in this creative thinking and help us decide on the next topic!

This week we are talking about inspiration. We all get inspired by different things, whether it be objects or people. In this episode, we share what brings us joy and inspiration to our lives. When we feel down and out, it is refreshing to remember the little things, the root of our motivations. And in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (a little late), we also talk about some of the environmental and lifestyle triggers that can increase risk factors for breast cancer. Hope that you enjoy this episode. Additional Resources: Makhosi Hefisah Nejeser – Soul Ascension Mastery www.TheRoyalShaman.com FREE consciousness quiz link: bit.ly/royalshamanquiz

Reminder, these episodes are not to treat, cure, or diagnose disorders and should not be used in place of medical advice.

Hello there, Lotus Petals! Thank you for joining us in our newest adventure! Welcome to the Muses of the Crystal Lotus podcast! We are super excited to be launching this fun and inspirational podcast series to connect more with our shoppe followers. The purpose behind the Muses of CLS is to connect, teach, inspire, and expand upon various topics that range from super serious to super silly. Some of our commentaries are just downright goofy, but it is our way of being raw and transparent to reach all of you on a more personal level. The Muses of the Crystal Lotus is a gathering of our shoppe inspirers: Shanna Neal, the owner of the Crystal Lotus Shoppe - https://www.facebook.com/crystallotus...
