This simple question can help you in your healing work, help you get clear about your desires, and to help you create strong boundaries. Being available has more to do than time management or even ideas of what we want. It's a deep and nuanced understanding of our energy and how we are using it. Are we being true to ourselves?Are we operating out of fear?Are we listening to the small voice within?Are we open to receiving or more interested in controlling?Take a listen and let yourself get curious so you can find your authentic truth. Thanks for listening!

An encouraging podcast to remind you that no matter what is going on today, your story is not over.Change is inevitable - and even when we welcome it, it can be stressful to get through.There's often a more subtle, but no less powerful, type of change and that is the call of your spirit. The knowingness that it is time to address, readdress, ponder, explore, act, surrender and heed the call of your soul. This is a personal and potent energy that comes right on time, if we open to it. Leah shares about her fears of performing in the one-woman show, and the call of her heart to do so, as well as the ways that present-moment living and breaking free from the stories of our past can help us.

Have you ever asked for a sign? Maybe you didn't get the sign, or notice it. Or maybe, you got the message loud and clear. Even still many of us have doubt, even when we say we believe, that spirit is on our side - that God listens - that we are worthy of a life that is guided by the great beyond.In this solo podcast, Leah shares some of her recent signs and confirmations about her project regarding her new work. Some may seem trite, others more profound.But the message of the podcast is that we must be in an active relationship with spirit to know their language, to hear the calling, to witness the signs. This isn't a one-way relationship, it's an interactive one that calls us to engage with the highest and most loving, most pure and divine of energy and beings. Take a listen, enjoy and ponder for yourself, what do you really believe, and how are you nurturing that relationship? The truth is, confirmation is everywhere that spirit is present, and we are constantly being guided in the direction that is best for us, if we but notice. It requires our presence. Thanks for listening! Follow leah on IG, FB & TK @leahthemodernsage for more!

In this episode Leah speaks with author and medium Carole Obley on how to heal grief and guilt and find security about life's transitions. Many of us believe there is an afterlife. However we may have a hard time trusting life's natural processes such as death. Carole and Leah speak about how the eternal bond of love is real, how spirit beings are living entities who are still present in our lives, and how we can form a relationship with them through communication to further deepen that relationship. There is no end to our loving relationships, energy is infinite. We can learn how to move through life's grief and often the guilt that comes with these transitions, to remember that there is no ending and that spirit is alive and well.

Survival Mode - we hear about it but aren't sure if we're in it. Survival mode is a trauma response. When we are burdened with the stress of life or past experiences or trauma, or if we have generational trauma in our families, we may have learned how to survive, but not much else.Many people are living in survival mode. The anxious state that is overwhelmed and cannot be present or available for new experiences, feelings, spontaneity or true relaxation.Leah covers the symptoms of survival mode, as well as how to get out of survival mode and heal. Some of the highlights are:Desire to feel numbStuck in fight, flight or freezeBeing overly reactiveHaving anxietyInability to focusWhat is the opposite of survival mode? The ability to relax, be available, have resources on hand to pivot without panic, to authentically enjoy one's surroundings and simply being alive.Leah shares some of her favorite methods to move beyond survival into a place of present moment living through somatic therapy, sound healing, yoga, movement for healing, meditation and more. Listen in and be inspired. Oh, and Leah shares another story about the house - but of course! Thanks for listening! Follow leah on IG, FB & TK @leahthemodernsage for more!

The final episode of season 4 brings you to contemplate how you fill your life and stay attached to your to-do lists/obligations as a survival mechanism rather than using the space in-between to access the flow state. To be in the flow, we open to our intuition, trust, creativity, feminine energy, abundance and the unknown. It can be a scary energy to embody if we've spent most of our time in survival, or trying to find our identity based on what we do or achieve. Let yourself contemplate and perhaps join the challenge to be in the moments in between the busyness so you can activate the energy within that wants to emerge. This practice isn't just for artists, it's for all co-creators who desire to have more peace, curiosity and joy in their lives. To feel what it is to be present and available to what is possible when we aren't jamming our time with to-dos and expectations.More from Leah, visit her website. Thanks for listening!

This story will never be over, but for now Leah is wrapping up the story of her time at the haunted house on Weeden St with some powerful messages from spirit. One's healing journey is never over, as healing is not linear. Much of life isn't linear, however we perceive it to be in order to maintain some sense of control. What is it to feel connected and safe in spirit, living in a higher, more expanded vibration and consciousness, feeling trusting in the moment and free within oneself? It's a feeling most are desirous of, yet terrified of. The will to live includes the tenacity to maintain integrity and wholeness in the present moment. The more capacity we have for the moment, the more peaceful and present we can be. Join Leah on the tail of this haunted house story, as she weaves in some of the most important teachings about building this capacity for self. Thanks for listening!

In this episode Leah introduces you to two neighbors,  her only neighbors, at the house. These neighbors have become characters in the screenplay as their timeline was so instrumental to the shift at the house.Zencat is her name. I'm not sure where the name came from, but she wore it proudly. John is her husband. They live in the house right next door to Leah, the house that looked abandoned but wasn't, next to the abandoned cottage on the hill.Leah discusses their mental health issues and addictions, the behavior and interactions that went on during her time there, like Zencat being naked scooting on her bottom down the asphalt road, unable to get up. This was a repeated occurance.The multiple calls to the ambulance. The screaming at the house, the chit chat, the accidents with the railings.. It was two years of Zencat and John, although they had lived at their house for over 20 years. Join Leah on Youtube to see these episodes.

We're at the part of the story that becomes hard to believe, the synchronicities, the spirit activity, the confrontations - but for those who delve into the paranormal or not, Leah has it on recording! Plus, she has energy clearers "ghost hunters" or "spirit removers" over to the house to investigate and help cleanse the property.TRIGGER WARNING: The live recording is from this Thanksgiving (last week) evening during the middle of the night. John recorded Leah in a confrontation in the dreamtime with "Edward" - and then helped her come to full consciousness. As Barbara remarked in our last episode, he will continue to try to enter, and he sure did. The audio is her pleading and battling Edward to stay out of her space and this house. Leah shares about vulnerability and how we have to be cautious with our physical, mental and emotional health when we are feeling tired, weak, ill - and also share some of the information given to her from the ghost hunters, Marcia and Marty from Mt. Laurel, New Jersey.Also in this episode, you'll meet the young spirits trying to get Leah's attention, and what goes on up in the attic, as well as more information about the burial pit. It's a loaded 28 minutes, closing out with a sweet scripture from Psalms that Leah reads one night to the young girls' spirits who are afraid.  Remember, Leah was taking notes of all her experiences while there after realizing something different was going on at this house, but she was not planning to share, podcast, write a script or otherwise during this time-period. The notes are real-time as best as can be remembered. Check out Leah's new website, leahguy.com for more about her work. Thanks for listening! Follow leah on IG, FB & TK @leahthemodernsage for more!

Welcome listeners. This is episode 2 of season 4 and I'm really glad you're here.You may notice that the podcast format has changed for this season as I'm sharing my story of buying a historic and haunted home in Lambertville NJ on the day of Covid lockdown. I tell this story as a means to inspire us all how to face and embrace the darkness within, how to sit in discomfort and to heal the ghosts of our past. Weaved throughout this season we will also discover the various ways spirit talks to us, and we'll talk to experts in the field of metaphysics, mediumship and other spiritual teachings. This episode I introduce you to the specifics of the house and the stories that began shortly after I moved in. Some that seem benign - huge spiders, bats in the bedroom, stolen items..but combined with the rest of the story, I believe you'll start to see the energy that is becoming palpable at the house. The found objects I either still have or have pictures of, and the dreams - the male energy present who violated me many times over - has become one of the main characters in my one-woman show and the screenplay. I hope you enjoy this storytelling, and I'd love to hear feedback. Oh, and please share it with your friends! Thanks for listening! Follow leah on IG, FB & TK @leahthemodernsage for more!

At the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic, an unexplained event, coupled with a devastating loss, sent him down a completely different path forever.These events prompted a complete life review, and an exploration into the mystical, which culminated in the Amazon top of the charts book ‘Letting Glow', and its soon to be released sequel, ‘Glowing Deeper'. In Book One, he documents his journey into mediumship, and sets out to de-mystify the mystical, making the unfolding and development of psychic senses accessible to us all. ‘Letting Glow' delves headfirst into how we can connect with our highest states of intuition, manifest lives of purpose, realign the connection between our thoughts, consciousness, and our authentic selves, and ultimately, searches for proof that we survive physical death.

We are covering one of the most popular topics of the human condition - relationships - with trauma-informed polarity coach, David Lea and Leah Guy. David and Leah dive into the definitions of masculine and feminine, the characteristics of each in our daily lives and how we show up to ourselves and one another in relationships. Being trauma-informed means recognizing that we each carry trauma memory and are in the process of healing, yet with awareness and application we can shift the way our energy is received by others and the impact that has on relationships.This is not a gender issue, it is an energy issue and everyone has a dominant energy or one they identify more strongly with and when we come to relationships out of that alignment, we can create stress and disharmony for all.David is a coach, speaker and teacher and, alongside his life partner, Paige, has created a foundational program called Daring Deeply.

It's the end of the year and while many people are considering their New Year plans, I want to invite you to consider the practice of resiliency in our spiritual journey.Becoming more resilient is something we can foster in our lives at any age. It's not just the ability to be strong or brave in the face of uncertainty or life's challenges, but the ability to come back to self, to your center and trust your mind and body to process what is necessary so that we can continue. It's a great skill, and one that is necessary for all of us to move through life with more authenticity and grace.Leah discusses this important topic as a way to invite us to look at our self-commitments this year, and to help secure within the anchor that we so desperately need in times of stress. Many blessings to each of you, this day and this new year and beyond.

Leah and Buddhist teacher, Deborah Eden Tull share an enlightening conversation about the darkness that may bring hope to any listener. Darkness is deeply misunderstood in today's world; yet it offers powerful medicine, serenity, strength, healing, and regeneration. All insight, vision, creativity, and revelation arise from darkness. It is through learning to stay present and meet the dark with curiosity rather than judgment that we connect to an unwavering light within. Welcoming darkness with curiosity, rather than fear or judgment, enables us to access our innate capacity for compassion and collective healing. Dharma teacher, shamanic practitioner, and deep ecologist Deborah Eden Tull addresses the spiritual, ecological, psychological, and interpersonal ramifications of our bias towards light.  Eden is an engaged dharma teacher, spiritual activist, author, and sustainability educator, who teaches dharma intertwined with post-patriarchal thought and practices, resting upon a lived knowledge of our unity with the more than human world. She trained for seven and a half years as a Buddhist monk at a silent Zen monastery and has taught engaged meditation for over 20 years. Eden has lived in sustainable communities and as an organic gardener/farmer for decades and celebrates the essential wisdom of nature.

This can also include generational trauma.And, that healing doesn't have to take months or years, as it is possible to release the energy charge of certain emotions in a simple way.Nelson also shares his personal spiritual beliefs and reliance on answered prayer from his higher power and divine connection to follow his call and bring this information to the world. He relates the human body to a computer, and the subconscious mind as a super-computer. Nelson notes that we can ask direct questions and receive answers from the subconscious mind. "Within each person is the absolute perfect understanding and knowledge of what is wrong with them and why they are manifesting the dis-ease." We know everything is energy, and energy, as emotion, as meant to move, change and release.

Leah Guy and Matthew Branham, MAcOM, LAc, discuss powerful topics based on finding the harmony within our lives, living in harmony with the breath, and overcoming the fear of death. Yin & Yang, breathing with nature, finding acceptance and flowing with the expansion and contraction and not forcing through or disrupting are part of this conversation. The breath dynamic happens every day, every season, with every breath, and as with Yin & Yang, the human body also functions seasonally, and part of our conversation is about how death has come to be perceived as a loss, a fear, and a negative occurrence. Perhaps nature has a different intention.To find out more about Leah, visit her website. To find out more about Matthew, visit his website.

Likewise, our mind, emotions, and body are not separate. Disease and pain are often more obvious symptoms of an underlying imbalance.

Self-abandonment is a form of sabotage that many of us have learned as a means of "survival" in our relationships. Once formed, it often becomes a negative pattern in our daily lives.Self-abandonment is a learned behavior, which means we can unlearn the behavior.We abandon what we want or need.We lie to ourselves and others about who we are and what are our wants and needs.We hide.We people please.We ignore our hunches, intuition, or inner guidance.We criticize and judge our most vulnerable parts.We become perfectionists to avoid ever satisfying or achieving success.We run from our dreams, change courses to avoid success or positive results that help us feel good and purposeful.These are some of the ways we abandon ourselves.What can we do?We can learn to sit with our feelings. We can show up for ourselves. We can learn to speak our truth. We can follow the callings of our hearts and trust the process. Remember who you are. Remember that you are carrying precious cargo.You are here with a soul that is brilliant and wants to shine.
