Soul Works with Adey Chekol

The Moon has a tremendous influence upon us. Within, we sense its presence as energy rising to a climax during full moon before gently fading to naught at the time of new or dark moon. Many comment on the emotional impact of the Moon on their lives, their feelings uplift and intensify during the full moons and periods of calm, or even depression, are experienced at the new moons. With my Goddess soul sister Blen Atnafu, we share, reflect and observe the effects of this cycle on the our natural world in many ways: the ebb and flow of tidal currents and greater electrical potential during the new and full moon phases are only a few aspects we discuss in this series we are opening up for you on the next few of podcasts. On this episode, we specifically talk about the Full Moon phase of the Moon. If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Sometimes we allow our unconscious mind to sabotage our relationships or dating life. We are made to face our shadows when we come across those who reflect our inner self. That is why I say relationships are our biggest spiritual teachers. In this episode, I talk about some of the beliefs and mindsets that keep us in a pattern of attracting draining relationships or completely prevent us from manifesting health loving relationships.  If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

You are a Master Creator. Really... you are. It does not matter whether you believe it or not, whether you know it or not, or even whether you just don't care, the truth is, you are constantly and always creating. You are creating when you cook, when you breath, when you speak, when you think... always.  Now, the question is, where are you creating from? Are you creating from love or fear. Creating from your soul or from rules and laws designed for you by others. Where are you creating from.   If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Sit with your feelings and allow your level of emotional literacy to rise. Expand your self-awareness as you choose to take responsibility for aspects of your life, and remain accountable. Let go of doubts, resistance and things which no longer serve a purpose in your life and are draining you of your power. Learning to allow my pain to be my friend was one of the biggest spiritual lessons I have learned. In this video I share with you how to regain your power back through self awareness and  processing your pain. Can't wait to hear your thoughts and words of wisdom.

There are many things we are told not to talk about as women. Our moon cycle, our period, and our intuitive nature are a few of them and in this episode, we are going to talk about them anyway.   Deslee, aka The Womb Witch, helps Menstruators solve their period and fertility problems by teaching them how to use the tools of Plant Medicines, Energetics and Ritual and guiding them in remembering how to embody their Womb Space as a seat of power. She on a mission to remind people they are a Force of Nature in their Cyclical Bodies; and that by anchoring themselves into their Sovereign Womb Space, they can connect to their intuition to heal themselves.     If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Welcome to Season Two! Our podcast has a brand new name - Breath Again! If the last year and a half thought us one thing, it is to be grateful, especially our breath! To revisit life, to let go of what no longer served us or our planet and to breath again. On the first episode of season two, Adey goes over the importance of sisterhood. She starts with explaining the what the divine feminine energy is, how we as women possess that energy and why she took over half the year off to herself to connect with her inner divine femininity. She also breaks down how the way you see the world makes up how you will function. She gives a breakdown of how your family (which includes culture), gender and spiritual personality (destiny) shape how you live out this reincarnation or life. All of these factors are important to know when leading with the divine feminine energy. If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Life is full of struggle. We’re destined to face pain and have everything blow up in our face. We all suffer from sickness, heartbreak, death, failure and disappointment. I’ve thought about quitting so many times. That was until I realized how I got where I am today. The only reason I’m still here, and breathing, is because I decided not to quit. What I’ve learned is that those who succeed accept this fact and make a decision to push through it.Quitting is the most painful form of suffering. Most of all, quitting on yourself is something you will never forgive yourself for. I know life is hard, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find an empowering way to break through all of the struggles. My intention for this episode is to remind you that you are not alone in this struggle and give you few tools to empower you.To help you in this journey, please check out my self love courses here: https://soulworks.thinkific.com/ If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Light does not mean positive and dark does not mean negative, they simply represent opposites, or polarities. When we learn to harmonize between these polarities of both light and dark, we become “conscious” bringing more awareness to how we use our minds, to our behaviors and actions in the world and how our actions affect everything in the beautiful, intricate web of the world.My beautiful guest Taheera, is a Spiritual Alchemist, Clinical Trained Therapist and Medicine Woman who helps people get to the next level of their spiritual evolution by helping them face their shadows and transmit pain.

Setting boundaries requires us to step out of of our established ways of relating to people and take what feels like bold action. If you struggled or are still struggling with people-pleasing habits like I did, you understand the importance of consistently reminding yourself the need for for courageously stepping into the discomfort of asserting what you need and what you will not tolerate. In this podcast episode I share with you the phrases that helped me say no to things that did not serve me. So much of boundary setting, stepping into your authenticity and your worth is being consistent and predictable with stating your needs. Saying the phrases you came up with that clearly inform others that they are crossing boundaries over and over again and then backing them up with resolute action if they're not being respected.  It is about quieting the inner voice that says "Am I being too much?", "Is this okay?" and your listening to your needs and wants.   What are the phrases you came up with to help you reduce your people-pleasing habits and setting your boundaries?

Give me a "YES" if you believe that emotional states can be created consciously! For most of my life I did not know that I can choose and guide my emotional state. The recipe for having a healthy emotional state was not handed to me, I learned it while doing my SOUL WORK! I learned to pay attention to makes me happy vs. what makes me unhappy on a consistent basis. I thought myself to do more of what makes me happy and avoid or eliminate of what does not make me happy.  In this podcast, I share with you the different ways that you can build your emotional resilience, especially in this turbulent and transitional time in our world.  If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

They hold up a mirror so we can see ourselves through their eyes and give us a fresh perspective on who we are.On my first solo episode, I talk to you on how sharing experiences with others is what makes life special, why we need friends that are happy to join us in our adventures and why great friendships require time, energy, and investment. If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Join me and my guest Cheryl Harris, MPH, RD who has trained extensively in mindfulness and mindful eating. Join us on this soulful conversation about the intersection between mindfulness, digestion, and autoimmune health. Mindful eating is an approach to food that focuses on individuals’ sensual awareness of the food and their experience of the food. It has little to do with calories, carbohydrates, fat, or protein. The intention is to help individuals savor the moment and the food and encourage their full presence for the eating experience. Contact Cheryl at her website:www.harriswholehealth.comTwitter: @CherylHarrisRDwww.facebook.com/HarrisWholeHealth 

Among the many crises COVID-19 has dragged along with it,  domestic violence is another public health concern we are facing which seems to be flourishing in the conditions created by the pandemic.With the efforts that are believed to keep the virus from spreading, the lockdown many of us are all experiencing has created a surge in violence as families and those who share homes are spending more time together. My guest today has written two books: "Escaping the Boy: My Life with a Sociopath" and "Unashamed Voices: True Stories Written by Survivors of Domestic Violence, Rape and Fraud Exposing Sociopaths in Our Midst". You can contact Paula at www.LoveLifeOm.com.
