Mystics Rising Podcast

In today's episode, I'm joined by Noel Coakley, someone I've known from a distance since high school. Back then, he was just my friend's cool older brother, but little did I know, he had already started his meditation journey in 1996. Fast forward to today, and Noel is blending Buddhism, psychology, meditation, and trauma-informed Western psychology to support his clients. He's also the founder and director of the Boston Center for Contemplative Practice.Noel's approach to wholeness, both in life and in his work, really resonates with me, and I was excited to explore how these teachings can deepen our understanding of ourselves. In this episode, we dive into the spiritual aspects of parenting, how Buddhism can inform our approach to life and leadership, and Noel shares a transformational practice that really aligns with shadow work.Noel discusses his work, emphasizing the importance of unconditional love and the concept of Buddha nature. He shares a practice called Guru Yoga, which involves visualizing an unconditional loving being to reconnect with one's inherent wholeness. The conversation highlights the integration of spirituality and therapy, the challenges of parenting, and the ongoing practice of self-awareness and compassion. Noel hosts annual retreats, courses, and more - make sure to connect with Nore for more. If you enjoy this conversation, be sure to share it with others.Connect with Noel: Bio: https://www.thebccp.com/team/2019/6/25/noel-coakley-med-lmhcEvents: www.thebccp.comIG: @wakeupsleepybuddhaSchedule a session: Schedule a Meditation/Therapy Session or General MeetingLink to free set of guided meditationsLinktree (upcoming events, podcasts): https://linktr.ee/wakeupsleepybuddhaSupport the showWelcome to the Raising Wholeness podcast. I'm Jenn Reilly, your host and guide on a journey of deepening into the full complexity and simplicity of our human experience. As a coach, mentor, and advocate for women's rights, I'm passionate about supporting women—especially those navigating the shifts of motherhood and leadership—on their path to embodied wholeness. Through my own transformative journey, catalyzed by early motherhood and postpartum, I've learned that true wholeness means embracing every part of ourselves: the strengths, the challenges, and everything in between. It's about honoring our cycles, aligning with our unique design, and cultivating self-trust and support as we move through life. On this podcast, we explore the deep and sometimes messy human experience—tending to our bodies, minds, and spirits in a way that is conscious, compassionate, and attuned. Whether you're seeking to heal generational patterns, deepen your leadership, or find more balance in your life, Raising Wholeness is a space where we can evolve together. If you're ready to move from surviving to thriving, to lead from a place of wholeness, and to model this for the next generation, you're in the right place. Thank you for joining me on this journey. I'm honored to walk alongside you. Book a Free Discovery Call ...

This is the final episode under Mystics Rising—and the first step into something new.Today, I'm sharing why I'm closing this chapter and shifting into Raising Wholeness, a space where we explore the subtleties of the human experience—how we, as women, attune to our whole selves, nurture our growth, and consciously tend to wholeness in both mind and body.In this episode, I talk about:✨ Why I felt called to rebrand the podcast and shift into Raising Wholeness✨ How Raising Wholeness is rooted in feminine maturation and the wisdom of navigating both the tender and powerful aspects of being a woman✨ How my personal work at Raising Wholeness—as a byproduct of my own alchemy and evolution—supports women in leadership, especially those navigating early motherhood and postpartum✨ The importance of rewriting our stories, stepping into deep self-awareness, and embracing embodiment and transformationThis podcast is an invitation to honor the full human experience —mind, body, and soul. It's about embracing our cycles, evolving through transformation, and creating space for ourselves to live from a place of wholeness.Thank you for being here. Let's step into this next chapter together.

For all my mom or moms in preparation - We have a responsibility to raise healthy masculine men... and the secret to that is not in telling them what to do, but leaning back and embodying our feminine essence.

When we reparent our younger parts with unconditional love, we not only heal our inner children, we start to build a relationship and an embodied knowing of unconditional love. AND love as the Holy Mother and Beloved Father, the divine feminine and the divine masculine. These are universal principles/energies that we all have access too. And the imprint of how we start to understand this love from the universe is through the imprinting of our parents. Cultivating a relationship with unconditional love is deeply healing, heals our younger parts, and informs our way of being and loving. In this solo episode, I share some of the work I do with my clients on healing through cultivating a relationship with unconditional love.

What is  Naturopathic medicine? How can you get started? In this episode, we interview Dr. Anna Johnson, a wealth of knowledge and experience healing through nutrition and listening to body.  Join us for an in depth discussion around the affects of flight or flight on our digestive system, listening to our body/ and find our rhythm,  eating based on our blood types, oncology, and more.​​Dr. Anna Johnson, a first year resident at HNNH, is a board certified Naturopathic Doctor licensed in the state of New Hampshire.

For the first time in her life she found relief through diet and lifestyle changes that were introduced to her while traveling abroad. Her decision to specialize in oncology became clear during her second year of medical school when a close family member was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer which, since then, has been managed successfully by naturopathic medicine. In her free time, Dr. Johnson enjoys painting, hiking, biking, snowboarding, nature, traveling, and spending time with her husband, family and friends.Resources:Blood type test: https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Type-Kit-Eldoncard-Micropipette/dp/B000FSOCR4About Mystics Rising:Mystic-rising.comIG: @MysticsRisingSupport Us on PatreonMystics Rising is a platform to share rising healers and leaders, and showcase foundational classes for inner work (check out the website for discounts).

​​In this episode, we explore the practice of pelvic floor work, and how building connection and intimacy with our womb we cultivate deep healing and connection. Sydney Zwicker is a bodyworker and women's health mentor based in Denver, Colorado. She shares mediation practices, yoni egg practices, the flow and grace associated with following the female hormonal cycle, and the importance of embodying healthy connection with our womb not just for ourselves but for us as role models to future generations. Sydney's intention is to give clients and students the tools to journey into wholeness.  She believes there is no one way, nor right way to heal. It's a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and a whole lot of courage.

Check out this beautiful exploration into council, collective healing, belonging, connecting to our roots, and embracing the shadow. Council creates space for practicing speaking from the heart, opening to spontaneity, and cultivating deep listening. Through council, we hear stories of the collective consciousness of the group, and each story has insights into our own healing. Lillian has used this practice with kids, women's groups, prisons, and corporate America, the benefits of this practice can be applied to anyone looking to build community. Lillian Söderman has spent over a decade facilitating circles and is certified in a process called Council. She left her career as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor to pursue the practice. Her facilitation experience ranges from the general population to corporations to prisons to schools. When she's not practicing Council, Lillian is a musician and plays shows frequently around Colorado.Resources From the Podcast:Lillian's Circle Work Online Council Training starts in March Lillian's Music Ways of CouncilPelvic floor / Feminine Work / Connecting to your Womb - Wild Feminine: Finding Power, Spirit & Joy in the Female Body by Tami Lynn KentPersonal recommendation : Pussy: A Reclamation, Regena Thomashauer Lillian's headshots by: Jessica MacCall IG: @littlegreeneyes | 

In this episode, we explore spiritual emergence, through the lens of transpersonal psychology, and holotropic states of being. I love how Jay points out the play on words between Spiritual Emergence and Spiritual Emergency. The initiation into our own spiritual awakening is about what is coming in and through us, and often this embodied experience can leave us with a sense of emergency/urgency of how to live from this new way. In the mid-90s, Jay followed experiences of spiritual emergence into the experiential doctoral program at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. Until transitioning into his roles for Grof Legacy Project, Jay has primarily worked as a lawyer/mediator while teaching and supervising dissertation research in transpersonal psychology. Jay has assisted the facilitation of holotropic breathwork in the US, Canada, UK, India and China and is a certified Grof® Breathwork Facilitator. He will act as a Director and Secretary-Treasurer for the Project and is particularly interested in developing the research branch of Grof Legacy Project, including projects using the lens of archetypal astrology to examine correlations between nonordinary state experiences and indications from transit and natal charts. Jay currently divides his time between Helena, Montana, and Los Angeles. Along with colleagues, Jay will assist in the development of Grof® Breathwork workshops and Grof Legacy Project training opportunities in southern California and various other parts of the United States, as well as developing online programs in Stan's work.Episode Resources:Upcoming classes with Grof Legacy Project: https://www.grof-legacy-project-usa.org/Book: Moving through Grief, Reconnecting with Nature by Jay Dufrechou - https://www.amazon.com/Moving-through-Reconnecting-Nature-Muswell/dp/1908995106Resources for spiritual emergency -Finding community (nature groups, yoga groups,  healing groups)Spiritual emergence Network  - http://www.spiritualemergence.org/Developing an internal sense of safety and trustMystic-rising.com for more.Mystics Rising is a platform for rising healers and leaders infusing spirituality into their work.  We also share foundational classes for inner work (check out the website for discounts).

In this episode, we explore the intersection of spirituality and advocacy with Shani Nicole, The Empath Realist. Through her own inner work, integrating shadows, generational and cultural trauma, Shani has built a platform to help others deepen into their spiritual practice in order to come to advocacy work from a healed, centered, and grounded place.

As issues / causes are discovered, she uses a variety of creative methods to express them: music, education, poetry / spoken word, ancient healing modalities / practices,  and engaging in soulful conversations with others; paving the way for a collective space that approaches solutions in a more spiritual, harmonious, and decolonized way. Episode Wisdom: Inner healing is necessary to call our injustices forward, create cross racial and cultural solidarity, and to create from a  place of possibilities. Being able to see things from an unbias lens requires us to dig deep and heal ancestral, cultural, and personal trauma in ourselves first Coming to advocacy from a place of wholeness - we need to heal the injustices, the identities in ourselves firstLove and light or enlightenment when you can see the shadows of societyColonialism / capitalism = cultural shadowsWe have been forced to be compartmentalized and through that, we lost the true essence of the human self - because we are all so stuck in the constructs of our identitiesConnecting the spiritual with the material - Fusing these two together gives a deeper understanding of what is going on in the world and you can see that changes is possible - get connected to the roots of changeEpisode Resources:Website: https://empathicrealist.wixsite.com/empathicrealist/about/In Conversation - Food & Colonialism: https://empathicrealist.wixsite.com/empathicrealist/food-colonizationArticle Feature: https://empathicrealist.wixsite.com/empathicrealist/my-american-story-article-featureInstagram: www.instagram.com/empathic_realist/Music: https://youtu.be/iwbUDa4kGP4Background Work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NRNxD-g1VQMystic-rising.com for more.Mystics Rising is a platform to share rising healers and leaders infusing spirituality into their work, and share foundational classes for inner work (check out the website for discounts).
