Woman Power Zone

On this, the final episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast, Ariel thanks everyone who has ever listened and finishes the series on the last two layers of the auric field. KEY TAKEAWAYS The 6th layer is the celestial body or template, this are filaments of golden light, and this layer shows a person's alignment with divine love. The experience on this level is divine love and spiritual ecstasy, feeling connected and love with source/god. The ketheric template is often brilliant white and reveals alignment with the divine consciousness. The idea on this level is to be connected to the divine mind and to understand the greater universal pattern, to understand the big picture, the higher consciousness, where are we going from here? What forms on the outer 3 layers is what ends up being created in the layers below them. When you change the outer layers you change your belief systems and behaviours at very deep levels, and permanently. These layers are definitely harder to see, but it's usually the vibe that you'll pick up off people as if they're very light, ethereal, airy, open, flowing. These are energy feelings that you get from people who have active 6th and 7th layers. BEST MOMENTS “You can read with these two layers how open people are to spirit, intuition, connecting with people on the other side, connecting with spirit guides, or whether they're psychic.” “I believe that there are other layers of the field that may exist, so if you get information on those feel free to let me know.” “When people are ready to awaken, spiritually, the outer layer become more active, if you see that happening, something powerful is going on.” “Reflect on how your life has changed or what you've learned through listening to this show.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel continues her series on the auric field, on this episode she covers how we can read what's happening for us in our relationships and what's coming up for us physically in the energy field. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's a good idea, when you're connecting with people, to get a sense of how open they are to connecting in relationships and how are they doing physically and what's coming up for them in the future.   The astral layer is the fourth auric layer and is about 1-2 feet out from the body. This layer has to do with the nature of our relationships, everything from friendships to professional relationships to connecting with other people on some level. It's unstructured and looks like blue, billowy clouds, and it's important because it's how we indicate how we relate to others but also the condition of those relationships. The need is to have a loving interaction with friends and family and to give and receive love in many types of relationships. The etheric template is the 5th layer of the auric field, it's multi-coloured and has a brighter light. It's usually about 3-4 feet out from the body and it to do with what's happening with the physical body. You can learn something about what's coming up for the body in the future, if someone's going to get sick or healthy, by reading this layer. It also reveals alignment with divine will. The etheric template can influence the state of the etheric body which in turn influences the physical body. Our ability to flow with divine will shows up in this layer. It's really important to align with divine will, when you do that your life is a lot more harmonious. A way to feel and connect to the divine flow is to keep energy open in this 5th layer of your field. BEST MOMENTS “The third body in a relationship is the energy that's combined between the two people, it can be enhanced with physical intimacy between the two people, but you can also injure it.” “A lot of people's astral layers have been damaged by covid, either they shut down and don't want to open back up or, in children, haven't learned how to have good relationships with other people.” “Relationships are really key to enhance the flow of money as well as the flow of love and caring.” “If you want to be healthy long term you need to clear, charge, balance and harmonise the etheric template.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel continues her series on the auric field, on this episode she covers the first 3 layers of the auric field which have to do with what's happening in your physical body, your feelings, and in your thoughts. KEY TAKEAWAYS The energy field is very complex, it can change shape and colour millions of times in just a few minutes. Sadly, we don't have very good equipment to measure or evaluate it. Auras are real, people feel them and react to them all the time they just don't know they are. Any time you pick up on someone's vibes/energy you're felling someone's aura. When you're trained to do energy work you can actually help people change their belief systems by changing what's occurring in their auric field. You're changing the blueprint of what's happening so that it can change inside of that person's physical body. Everybody's fields vary in size, when people say you have a big energy, that usually means that someone's energy field is around 6 feet out – double the usual size. Small energy is the energy is contracted and insular, they've turned inward. The etheric layer, the first layer, is about 1-2 inches out (12 inches in some people). The second layer, the emotional body is usually 2-6 inches out depending on the person. The third layer – the mind – is usually about 6-12 inches out. So, they're all usually within the first foot of a person. The layers are structured with gridlines which can be smooth and organised, but when their health isn't well they can be distorted on the first and second layers. When they have negative thoughts or unclear thinking the gridlines can be distorted in the third layer. BEST MOMENTS “When I switch on the aura camera when I'm giving reiki, you can see beams of light shooting out of my hands, it's amazing.” “The colours vary per person; blue can mean one thing for one person and something else for another.” “When people say they're living their best life that expression describes our highest level of manifestation, perfection and well-being. It's a blueprint we can have in our auric field where it's organised the way it should be organised: flowing, even, connected, whole.” “The average person on the street can read the condition of the emotional body pretty easily, most of us can pick up on what other people are feeling because they're broadcasting it through their emotional layer.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel begins a new series on the auric field so you can understand about people's vibes and why you're feeling what you're feeling when you connect with people.  KEY TAKEAWAYS People think that the auric field emanates off their body like heat waves, but the reverse is true. The auric field existed before we came into our bodies, that's why psychics can pick up on babies that want to come in and incarnate with a parent before they're pregnant, they can feel the presence of that soul's energy field before it physically comes into existence. The energy anatomy system is all the different structures that are in our energy anatomy. We have the chakras, the auric field, meridians, and nadis, which are structures of energy that bring something from point A to point B – these can be nervous system/neural pathways, blood vessels, or meridians. Energy management is clearing out distortions and imbalances in the auric field, chakras, meridians, nadis, realigning correct flow, charging and sometimes centring. A lot of empaths have the subconscious belief that it's their job to process other people's energy because they think they're better than other people. They process it, send it back, and then they feel tired and blame those other people because they feel drained. That's not the case; subconsciously what empaths are doing is moving other people's energy through their system and processing it without their permission. This can create karma for you, if you're doing this, and violates universal law. No wonder you feel tired!  If you aren't feeling physically well, you probably have something going on in your energy field that doesn't feel positive. If you're feeling emotionally off, your triggered, you're upset, you can't focus mentally, these are all indications that something's going on in your auric field. If you're having ‘bad luck' there could be something going on in the outer layers of your auric field, bad luck is really a manifestation of some kind of spiritual issue. You probably need some clearing of your auric field. BEST MOMENTS “Each layer of the auric field is responsible for a different aspect of our consciousness and existence.” “If your energy's not flowing in the way it was meant to flow, you're not going to feel physically that great.” “It takes time to learn how to develop the skill of being able to see the auric field, it takes practice and patience.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel completes her series on the chakras by discussing the energies of the galactic and universal chakras.  KEY TAKEAWAYS If you've ever felt disconnected, unloved or lonely you might want to look at working with the galactic and universal chakras. The shishimna is a line of energy that goes from the universal chakra, through your galactic, through your solar system to you upper Earth, to your transpersonal point, then it moves through all the chakras in the midline of your body, then it goes to your feet, between the knees down to the Earth chakra. That line of energy charges up your chakras, so it's essential it stays open.  This chakra is the point of higher consciousness which resonates at the galactic level. There are higher beings that are responsible for what happens in this galaxy, a way to connect with them is by opening your galactic chakra & expanding your consciousness out from that galactic chakra. Whether you believe in aliens or other life forms or not, there's a lot of life & energy in the galaxy. All the different suns, planets, moons. Imagine you can connect with the power & energy of that, it's lot bigger than just you in your own single body. It's very energising to connect with this. It helps give you a bigger perspective, that there's more going on than the small things in your day. These are not traditional chakras, but the soul lesson is connecting to divine energy at the source, the colour is brilliant white, the purpose is to be in the silence of the divine energy. When you meditate, first you are aware of your thoughts &, if you're not well versed in meditation, these thoughts will distract you. As your brain waves slow from a beta to an alpha to a theta you drop down into a space of deep silence & profound energy & you'll expand into a consciousness that's bigger than you. Then you'll start to feel the presence & consciousness of the divine beings our there in the universe.  BEST MOMENTS “If you manage your energy consistently your whole life is better.” “Meridians aren't the same thing as the central channel, they work along the same lines but at a different depth.” “The soul lesson is connecting the soul from the galactic perspective to the Earth plane perspective.” “By connecting with the ball of light at the centre of our galaxy, that opens you up to a larger perspective of what's happening in our entire galaxy & all of the billions of planets and lifeforms.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about chakras that get out of balance if we're feeling depressed or disconnected. KEY TAKEAWAYS These are two upper chakras that are above the head, their function is that when something's going on in our environment, around the Earth or in the solar system – like an asteroid/comet is shooting through – that can affect our solar system chakra. Sometimes you feel loopy, weird, spacey, out of it even though you don't know why, sometimes that has something to do with things going on above us. You might want to clear these upper chakras. The soul lesson of the Upper Earth chakra is to fulfil a desire to incarnate on the Earth plane. Its colour is silver & its purpose is feeling your connection with spirit at all times while you are present in your body. Through your Solar System chakra you can tune into information that's happening in the solar system from the beings that regulate & work with what's happening in our solar system. The soul lesson for this chakra is connected the soul to this particular solar system & this [articular area for incarnation. The colour is gold, orientation is connecting the higher consciousness of your soul to the solar system. Unconscious issues can create blockages or congestion lower down the shashisma.  The Upper Earth chakra has to do with your feeling oneness & a connection with spirit. Some abuses and traumas can have to do with frustration on the Earth plane; feeling like it's a scary place, feeling like you're tired of experiencing different kinds of mental abuse or mental illness or being abandoned by source. BEST MOMENTS “These upper chakras are like GPS for your soul to come into your body.” “There are beings that are responsible for what's happening in the solar system, like spiritual masters, & a way to connect with them is through your Solar System Chakra.” “Some people, when their upper chakras aren't open compensate with excesses (drugs & alcohol) or fear of the ‘heavy energies' on the Earth plane.” “Some people who meditate all the time do so because they're trying to avoid dealing with the lessons of the Earth plane & why we came here.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about how the transpersonal point chakra and its effect on how present you are in your body & feelings of floating above yourself or being disengaged.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Downloads are bits of data that are sent from spirit, downloaded from higher consciousness through the central channel through the upper chakras & the transpersonal point through your crown & from there through your brain & body. People call it inspiration, epiphanies, bolts of insight. The soul lesson is recognising your choice to incarnate in your body on the Earth plane, & the colour is opalescent white. The purpose is to fill yourself with spirit at all times.  The Earth plane is a wild place. It can be delightful, joyful, harmonious, fun, amazing, creative, but it can also be very dangerous & stressful as we all know. It's important for us to make a point; we chose to be here, we came into body & matter to solve something, experience it & grow through resolving it. Positive personality traits of this chakra are: Feeling optimistic, trusting in the plan, being flexible, & trusting the flow of the universe. Negative traits are: Feeling depressed, anxious, disconnected from people & the divine. When we're connected to the source energy we also feel connected to other people. BEST MOMENTS “The transpersonal point chakra is the GPS for your soul. It's between 1.5-3 feet above your head & it has to do with your soul's way of connecting with your body.” “The energies of wisdom & information come into us from higher levels of existence, so these charkas should be open, but not too open.” “When people are really depressed, the chakra is not open.” “This is your body's connection with spirit or your body as a temple for the soul – it's the place for your spirit to reside while you're living here on Earth.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel is joined by Eileen Vierra to talk about memory books and how they can keep alive the memory of somebody you love who has passed or keep memories alive for those with dementia. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's important to tell stories, but it's also important to write them down. When my grandmother had dementia I created a 7x'' book for her reminding her who people were. People with dementia remember really old memories, not current ones which is fascinating because you think that memories fade when you get old. The sense of smell in the brain is close to the memory centre in the brain. That's why, if you walk into a place & you smell cookies, it can take you back in time to when you were a little kid, or when you smell someone's perfume & it reminds you of your grandmother. Celebration of Life books are important for a couple of different reasons: They give you a place to go to relive somebody who's special in your life that has passed. Sometimes photos drive the book and other times text drives the book. You can also do them for pets. You can also put generational information in the book about who the person was, who their parents were, where they were born, names, dates, family information & history. Not only do you then have that information but so does your whole family, especially if you make copies of it and share it with them. It tells the story of their life, their businesses and how they changed over time. BEST MOMENTS “Looking at scrapbooks and memory books illicits memories from the past.” “Photos take you back in time, they're like tickets to the past.” “The process of making the books can be really therapeutic for people.” “Nostalgia is good for people's psychology & their social wellbeing.”   ABOUT THE GUEST Eileen Vierra has worked in many different industries, from banking to teaching, & even as a tour guide for T-Mobile Park & the Seattle Mariners. But, through her life, one thing has remained constant: Scrapbooking. She loves creating things that tell a story, that can be held & felt, that are cherished for years to come. Eileen then learned about Creative Memories where she could create scrapbooks for others. She quickly realized that her business was going to beyond selling products, she wanted to see how to do it for themselves. So, she set up Saturday Workshops for them & later ‘Coffee Crops' daytime workshops & more recently, Weekend Scrapbooking Retreats. Eileen considers herself an educator, a scrapbooker, & a facilitator who doesn't just provide the supplies but shows people how to use them.

On this episode Ariel talks about how the crown chakra can help if you're feeling depressed, like you have no connections to anyone, or like you weren't switched on or lit up about life.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Those of us who have a crown chakra that's too open have a tendency to try to check out from life with too much meditation, using drugs, too much service work/giving. Those whose crow chakra closed it affects our pineal gland which affects our sleep/waking cycles & mood, it's really important we have the crown chakra open.  It's element is ether, its archetype is the higher power/divine, its sense is claircognisance which is a kind of knowing, people who download information & know stuff – A bit like in The Matrix where the characters are plugged in and information is downloaded into them. Positive personality traits of this chakra is feeling oneness with all beings & yourself & god/the divine. Negative personality traits are wishing to escape from physical reality & not taking responsibility for their Earth-plane life; their actions, choices, decisions to live a healthy, balanced adult life. Understanding that you're connected to the source of the universe & that you're always connected helps people resolve issues with their fear of death. That comes up a lot with age, as people get closer to a point of leaving their body, a lot of people experience anxiety & depression around that. When the crown chakra is open & they feel connected with source it can help to alleviate those feelings. BEST MOMENTS “This chakra connects our soul to our body, it brings in spiritual energy from the universe.” “Doing too much of something is not balance. Meditate regularly if you want to become self-realised but, if you meditate all the time that'll be a problem, you can't check out all the time.” “If your crown chakra is too open I teach people to make it smaller and divert that extra energy down to energise their other chakras, especially the root chakra.” “If you ever feel anxious, freaked out or overwhelmed, you probably have too open of a crown chakra.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

In this episode, Ariel talks about how to open up your ability to see auras & how to trust your own intuition more deeply. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you want to see the auric field you have to open the third eye chakra because it has to do with your ability to see things from a higher perspective, which includes energies like the ones around people's bodies. Its element is light or the mind, its archetype is Athena the goddess of wisdom & judgement, the sense is inner vision or clairvoyance, & its shape is the star. Meditate first to open up your third eye. Ideally, you meditate on opening your third eye. Get someone to sit in front of a light or dark background, breathing normally. Then you open your eyes and look around that person, when you first open your eyes you can usually see a layer of the auric field which has to do with the condition of the physical body. The third eye activates the higher mind for creative thinking & brings awareness of the big picture & one's place in it. It's our source of insight, inner vision & spiritual intuition. Interestingly, body image & self-image are also beliefs that develop in this chakra. Trusting in divine perfection helps us understand that things are happening that are not in our control but are happening for a reason. While we may not understand them right now we might later. When the third eye chakra is open it can help you see that.   BEST MOMENTS “This chakra will help you to see visions, the future, to open up to higher awareness. A lot of this is also learning to trust your own intuition & what you see.” “A lot of people who have intuitive abilities have been taught to ignore them because we tend to tune things out.” “The aura has 7 different layer which are each related to a different issue/area of life.”“We can't make changes in our lives if we don't believe we can change. We need to see ourselves differently and make changes in order to shift.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about the chakra that works with the energy of motivation, the motivation to grow, to heal, & to expend your consciousness. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Zeal Point chakra is a new chakra, if you work with this energy you can combine it to work with your third eye and your intuition, which is your crown chakra that works with your higher consciousness. The Zeal Point is located in the upper lip through to the occiput in the back. Its element is ether, which activates spiritual awareness, and its archetype is the shaman. The thoughts that we think and feel are influenced by other people's thoughts and we influence other people through our thoughts, feelings and beliefs too. It requires a lot of enthusiasm, drive and desire to shift yourself into higher states of consciousness, or even higher states of existence in your day-to-day life. If you are advancing in your career, expanding your network, increasing your volunteer work, and striving to improve your life, it indicates that your Zeal Point chakra is open. The Sacral chakra is associated with positive personality traits such as excitement, motivation to move forward on your path, and being willing to do what it takes to achieve your goals. The Sacral chakra can involve making changes to your belief systems, thinking patterns, habits, and actions to make progress. This may include embarking on a workout regimen, making changes to your diet, or starting to save or invest your money. BEST MOMENTS “Opening the Zeal Point chakra gives you the motivation to move forward, keep going & keep growing.”“Aspects of the divine can manifest as a flavour. Some say they've experienced Lord Krishna and he has a blueberry flavour & Mother Mary tastes like roses.”“The purpose of this chakra is to assist you with motivation on your spiritual path.”“We up-level according to our divine purpose because we have trust that it's guiding us & that we're going to align with it.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about the how opening the throat chakra and how it can help with trouble with over-giving & not enough receiving, expressing your needs, wants & desires, or how you feel about your work or relationships that are difficult & fraught. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your ability to express yourself is one of the most important traits that you have, it applies to so many situations in your life; your interactions with people, the way you communicate in business & relationships, also your ability to say what you need & want, & the ability to receive – which are areas of deficiency for a lot of people. In my experience in my massage practice is that the neck is the tightest part of the body. The longest distance in the world is the distance between the head & the heart & a lot of the congestion & the stuck energy is in the neck. People shut down their throat chakra & stuff down their feelings & their throat gets so tight they can't speak their mind. They could also be shy, embarrassed or are socially awkward, these are all places where people don't express their inner truth or experiences about something. If you want to open this chakra you could use your voice, write, sound out your feelings, toning, singing. All these tools can be used to express your feelings, needs, emotional states & to become more conscious of what is happening in your own body. It's important to gather information from the world by reading & hearing. We process that information through the temporal lobe & visual centres in our brain, but we also process that energy through the throat chakra. The ability to hear our spirit guides is also processed through the throat chakra as well as the ability to channel energy, do guided writing, or telepathy. BEST MOMENTS “The throat chakra is the seat of hearing & clairaudience, it's your ability to hear & receive information but it's also expressing divine will & the ability to speak your truth.” “This chakra is also the seat of responsibility, truth, finding one's voice & the ability to receive.” “It's really important to clear debilitating mental belief patterns & eliminate energy chording patterns that feed into old belief patterns or self-talk or things we've heard from other people in our lives.” “People who gossip, boast, curse too much, have a dominating voice, they interrupt people all the time, & they exaggerate are all expressions of too much energy flowing out through that chakra & not going in. Chakras are supposed to send energy in & out of the body.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about the how opening the thymus chakra can help with getting focussed on finding direction, sense of meaning, or a purpose in life. KEY TAKEAWAYS A lot of people lack a life direction, there are a lot of books & courses dedicated to teaching people how to get in touch with their life purpose. One of the things people lack is an understanding of why they're here, what's the point, why are they doing this? The lesson of this chakra is about being true to yourself & your purpose.  Some of us go through our lives ‘as normal people', we have kids, a job, relationships. As the kids start stepping into adulthood some of us take that time to revisit and ask why we're here. Sometimes we end our relationships (romantic or friendships), or we end a job. It's important to have a reason rather than feel aimless, now you get to figure out who you are, why you're here, & set soul goals. When you feel a sense of significance & importance, either with a person that you meet or an activity that you do, that's because your thymus chakra is ready the energy of that potential activity. It could be going on a retreat or studying in a certain field of study, it's about deciding to do something to fulfil your purpose.  The thymus glad itself is a very important glad that is large when we're children & produces T-cells, which is an important part of our immune system. But, it tends to shrink when we grow into adulthood. This is symbolic, but a lot of times, as kids, we're very open to the newness & joy of life, exploring what that means, & excited about it. As we get older we tend to get a little jaded & shut down. The chakra can still be opened although the glad itself has shrunk.  BEST MOMENTS “This new chakra exists halfway between the throat and heart chakra at the base of the throat. It has to do with your life purpose, why you're here & what you came here for.” “It's important for us to have meaning to our lives, otherwise we tend to get depressed.” “If you run into someone & you feel like you know them, you should explore getting to know that person more because there's probably a reason you feel that way & it's probably pretty important.” “If it feels scary, that might mean that it's important for you to do, look at or accomplish. It may actually help you accomplish your true purpose by doing that thing.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about the heart chakra & how to bring more unconditional love into your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS A lot of us have issues with our hearts, it's the theme of a lot of stories, plays, & movies where someone has a closed heart who aren't able to love & they finally meet someone that opens them up to loving. In the spiritual journey, the heart chakra is the joining between the spiritual, human self & the spiritual self. The sense of the heart chakra is feeling & touch, the soul lesson is sister- or brother-hood or love, compassion, companionship, but it's also love. The colour for the heart chakra is green or pink, if you're wearing any green or pink jewellery or clothes, eating green or pink foods, looking at green or pink flowers, all those things work with the heart chakra. The orientation is self-acceptance & acceptance of others. IN the last few years that's been a major problem, there's been a lot of judgement, cancel culture, people getting mad about 1 tiny thing & rather than talk bout it they cancel someone & never speak to them again or getting in fights on social media. Those are all signs of having a closed heart chakra. Your heart is an organ that has its own intelligence. You've heard people talk about the head & the heart wanting different things, I talk about the trifecta: The head, the heart & the body; when all aspects of that self are united things flow really well. If you bring the spirit in too, that really binds things. The glands and organs affected by this chakra are the heart, obviously, & the pericardium, which is a sack of tissue that surrounds & protects the heart, the lungs, and the pleurite which protects your lungs, & even your arms which is why sometimes people feel heart attacks in their arms – mostly men more than women.  BEST MOMENTS “The Sanskrit word for the heart chakra is ‘Anahata' which means ‘unstruck'.” “Especially in cultures where there's a lot of mental activity, judgement is a key activity that we tend to overdo, you want to do your best to not judge people.” “Empathy is something that's been missing a lot in recent years & it's something we have to work on as a collective species to get back, it's important, & part of that is opening up the heart chakra.” “When you're spending time with someone who makes you feel good mentally, emotionally & physically, that's a good match or connection for you, romantically.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about issues with digestion, the top and bottom halves of your body feeling disconnected, issues with feeling humourless, social skills or relaxing & how these can be helped by your diaphragm chakra. A great book to do Shadow Work with to open the Diaphragm Chakra is Romancing the Shadow by Connie Zweig and Phillip Wolf. KEY TAKEAWAYS The diaphragm chakra deals with unprocessed emotional upset or trauma & deeply held family patterns. The sole lesson of this chakra is letting go of these things & its colour is burgundy.  Yoga teaches you to breath with all of your lungs, down to the diaphragm and back up. To do that you have to sit & pay attention to your breath which puts you in a situation where you have to present. When you're being present you are put in touch with your feelings & what's happening inside of you rather than being up inside your head with the chatter & thinking about a bunch of ‘stuff'. When you're stressed you natural repress feelings, it's part of the survival mechanism. When you're running away from a lion you can't be in touch with all your feelings because you wouldn't be able to function the way you need to in order to survive. When you relax the feelings come back. The problem is that people are running around feeling stressed all the time & stress is a really big issue, it's the source of a lot of health problems & affects our emotional state & our biochemistry. When you work with your diaphragm chakra to let yourself feel again it helps to release stress, increase cortisol, helps you get in touch with deeper things that you may have been shutting off. These are not always bad things either. It's amazing that people can spend decades running away from emotions that are attached to a core wound. They have a feeling they're afraid to feel again, so they wrap layers of other emotions around it. The deepest part of healing is removing those layers, getting in touch with them, feeling them & releasing them until you get to the core. Once you get to the core & release that, the dynamic of whatever that trauma/upset releases & you're feed up & have more energy to do other things like be happy, be motivated to accomplish your goals. BEST MOMENTS “One way to know you have tension in your diaphragm is if you're not taking deep breaths.” “This chakra helps us understand how we perceive reality & regulates how we process our deep unconscious emotions.” “Emotions are like layers of a cake/onion… when you get all the way to the core the emotion is released & the chakra clears.” “If you get in touch with your family patterns & the emotions behind them, the goal is not to continue to repeat them, it's to transition out of those & to heal them so that your descendants & their descendants don't have to repeat these patterns.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about energy cords & how to disengage your energy from other people in a healthy way – not from cord cutting, but through disengagement. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cords are bioplasmic streamers, energies that we send out from our energy system, through our chakras or sometimes through our auric field to connect to other people. It's normal for us to do this on a daily basis, whenever we meet someone & engage with them we're cording, even looking at them. It's normal for people to attach through cording, the problem is staying attached after we need to disengage. We sometimes don't know how to let go, or they don't know how to let go of us. A lot of people who work in the energy medicine field teach cord cutting, but the problem with this is you create an injury to a cord while cutting it. What you should do is disengage energy – theirs from your field & yours from their – & clean the energy up as it passes through. You don't want to send bad energy to others because that creates bad karma for you.  Disengaging cording is like leaving a room & going out the front door. You literally leave them in their space & you in your space. This is a very helpful process when you feel like you need to clear energy after an argument or you have a busy day seeing lots of clients, you don't want to take the energy of the previous client(s) into the meeting with the next one.  Use the violet flame to transmute negative energy into positive energy so you're not bring their negative energy back into your space. When you release your energy from their field you should also do this for the same reason. This cleans up not only the frequencies of these energies but it opens up and clears your energy so you can be clear of mind, focussed & at peace. In this state you have the ability to identify upcoming goals, actions you're going to take to follow through on them, clear up resistances to positive changes in you life, take action. It gets you out of being stuck into movement, action & flow. BEST MOMENTS “As humans we attach & we tend to stay attached, such as still thinking about someone from a love relationship even if it didn't end well.” “Sometimes you can feel bad juju or bad energy from someone, that's because they're sending energy your way & the thoughts aren't necessarily positive.” “Cording in & of itself isn't a bad thing, it's natural to connect with people when you interact.” “Cords are energetic structures like arms & legs, when you cut them you damage them, it's like cutting someone's arm off. You don't cut, you just diengage.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about self-esteem issues, lacking clarity or motivation & how the solar plexus chakra can help with these issues KEY TAKEAWAYS The solar plexus charka is a really important chakra because it has to do with how we feel energy, how we flow it through our system, & how we read other people's energy. If this chakra isn't clear, we don't accurately perceive other people's energy.  The solar plexus is a name for the extensive nerve plexus that's in the belly. Its purpose is to make sure the intestines are functioning correctly so that we can absorb our food. But, it's also very sensitive to our emotions & feelings which are in turn influenced by the energy that flows through the solar plexus chakra which is yellow. If you're not feeling motivated you probably need to eat, wear, look at, & visualise yellow. The purpose of this chakra is transformation because – physiologically - we're taking food and turning it into energy in the intestines. It's also about mental clarity; if you're feeling foggy you probably have something going on with your digestive system. If the digestive flora are not doing well it can affect our mood & our mental clarity. There's definitely a connection between what's in your food & what's in your mind, it can affect our mood. We send chords out through this chakra out to touch other people. There's nothing wrong with chording, we do reach out to other people & send energy back & forth through those chords, the problem is when we over-chord, over-attach & try to pull/push energy from/to other people & stay attached when we need to let people go. BEST MOMENTS “You want to work with this chakra by flowing yellow energy in the middle of your belly.” “We need to feel self-esteem & like what we have to say, share, or who we are is of value or interest to other people. Confidence also emanates from this chakra.” “Release your attachments to outcomes & other people.” “It's all about balance, not too much or too little of something, you want something that's just right.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about the power of birthdays and gives some fun ideas on how to celebrate yours, whether it's something you celebrate for a day, a month or something you try to ignore.  KEY TAKEAWAYS You could use your birthday as a personal State of The Union. It could give you some perspective on how you've done in the past year, how you are today & where you're going. If you haven't been goal-oriented in the past, this exercise can be enlightening on your journey. Instead of feeling bad, guilty ashamed about, or even punishing or judging yourself for something you feel like you should have done differently in the past, visualise/imagine that you're someone else looking back at their past year. As that other person you have no emotional attachment or judgement, you're just observing. What could this person have done differently? Ask them how they feel about the actions taken that they feel they could have done differently.  If you think about where you are in your life right now, at the time of your birthday, you could take your practical goals that you've been writing about on your focus wheels (if you're using them) & think about what's been coming to you in your dreams recently about something you'd like to accomplish. You could write those ideas down as things you would like to accomplish now & in the near future. Do you feel like exploring, inspiring, helping, saving (money or time, not people as this can lead to a Messiah Complex which makes like more complicated). Think about your life right now & how you can bring more joy to it by spending time doing actions & with people that light you up. BEST MOMENTS “Where have I been, where am I now & where am I going?” “What has happened in the past year that you would have liked to have done differently?” “What choices or changes could you incorporate into your goals right now & coming up in the near future that's different?” “A lot of the time your dreams are actually guides to help you create what you'd like to create in the future. Sometimes you higher self communicates with you through your dreams.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about the power of dreams in a dream-like way, which is the most useful way to talk about this subject. KEY TAKEAWAYS I remembered wanting to be a ballerina dancing on stage & making people happy with the dance. I remember wanting to get straight As even though other students mocked that kind of performance where I grew up. I remember wanting my mum to find another nice man to be with after my parents divorced. As I recalled the dreams I was flooded with many kinds of feelings and wishes & I realised that a lot of the things I wanted to happen lived in my dreams. Karl Jung talked about seeing every character in a dream as yourself as well as looking at vehicles in dreams as representations of your life & the state of your life. If you look at these things in your dreams as different aspects of you or your life you could use that information to address dealing with scary dreams. We all repress things, it's part of living in a society that has rules & values which we don't always agreed with, we supress certain parts of our personalities to live in societies. It's understandable that you might process some of those feelings through your dreams. But, the shadow side in your nightmares is not evil. Common pursuit dreams involved being chased by something or something that's scary, eventually you hit a dead end & have to turn and face it. It you practice making intentions before going to sleep to remember your dreams when you wake up, there'll be a symbol in the dream that's going to help you realise that you're dreaming. What you can then do is you can control the dream, freeze the pursuers, ask them why they're pursuing you & you can either fight them, tickle them, wave a magic wand & change them to being friendly.  BEST MOMENTS “I never met a dream I didn't like.” “My dreams changed & became more family oriented as I got older, they became more about processing my emotions & understanding myself at a deeper level.” “Dream language doesn't work in a logical, rational way but through association & symbolism.” “The outside world reflects your internal landscape. When you change the way you relate to what's going on in your subconscious  you can also experience different results in your outer world.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about the power of manifesting & gives you a great tool called the ‘My Focus Wheel', which you can find on her website as well as the form she references during the show. KEY TAKEAWAYS One of my favourite aspects to this form (which looks like a pie chart & you rank the sections from 1-10) is the statement: ‘what I'm delegating to the universe'. It's important to delegate stuff to the universe because, while you're in a process of manifesting & creating it's very important to say what you want to create, to take steps on that & to be clear on what those steps are. However, there are certain things that are going to be outside of our control like other people's problems/issues, finding a significant other. This takes it off your personal plate. A lot of us want to create certain dreams, experiences or energies in our lives, delegating the ‘how' is a way to put out to the universe that you want to manifest this thing even if you don't know how. Sometimes we get intuitive hits to move forward with a certain point of action/project/person & then our mind freaks out and gives us imposter syndrome or self-sabotaging thoughts, these are also good things to delegate out to the universe. If your 2 big declarations are: I am a magical manifestor & I am at peace, the next segment of the focus wheel asks what you're manifesting this week. Here you'd put “I'm taking action on my intuition/ideas” or “I'm going to meditate 15 minutes a day to get in touch with my intuition” & what you'd like to create for the day. For peace it can also be meditation or it could also be that you're letting go emotionally whenever issues arise, as well as “I take regular walks in nature”. Why is it important to recap on your wins and achievements during the week? It give you a dopamine hit & we need that. We need to take a few minutes – especially if life is hard – to sit in that energy of what's working, what's good, what are you grateful for, what are you happy about, what makes you feel alive. Be specific: What did you do? BEST MOMENTS “It helps you focus on what's working & what's not in your life, & what you can do about it. It's great way to tap into resilience, creativity & to get some new ideas about how to do things.” “When most people have fears come up, they are more about the fear of success than failure because, when you manifest that your life is going to change.” “A lot of us have what I call ‘the box of limitations' – a set of beliefs that keep us small & tiny & in a space where we're not manifesting who we want to be as the biggest, best person we could be.” “If the numbers on your wheel are 5 or less, that's an area you could do some work on.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about how the energies processed by the Sacral Chakra can help with money issues, lack of creativity or putting some zing into your relationship. KEY TAKEAWAYS The location of this chakra is just above the pubic bone in the front of the body & at the sacrum in the back. The colour is orange for this chakra, its element is water & the archetype is the emperor or empress representing power, fertility, abundance, & the ability to create what you want. It's your energetic home & your relationship with yourself in the back & your relationship with other people in the front.  If you see people walking around & they're not looking happy or like life is not a joyful experience for them, they probably need some energy flowing through this chakra. People could also be having issues with their reproductive systems, or even their kidneys, bladders or urethra, all those organs can be affected by this chakra. The point of this chakra is about experiencing the world through touch. The basic rites here are to desire, to create, to feel, & to have pleasure. It's the centre of feeling, intimacy, connection, movement & change. Experiencing pleasure & delight at living is at the core of our existence – not just sexual pleasure but just happiness & joy of being alive, it's all those things – it's the ability to experience pleasure. How much we allow ourselves is an indication of how we value ourselves & how we are connected to our own core, abode, identity. This chakra is about taking the energy that's coming up from the Earth & feeding your physical body, taking it & then having a desire & a joy of experiencing life & expressing that creatively. You can express that in the ways you make or spend money, the new ways you come up with to look at things, new ideas, options & experiences, the ways you express yourself creatively. A lot of people think they're not create & that's not true; you don't have to paint, do ceramics or write poetry to be creative. Some people are creative problem solvers. BEST MOMENTS “A lot of people have deficiencies here with money (attracting/saving/spending) or relationships with other people (not just romantic, but business & friendships).” “Positive traits of this chakra are sexuality, positivity & openness, & negative traits are too much focus on sex, strong base emotions like anger or desire, guilt & shame.” “If we allow pleasure into our lives it helps us feel good about ourselves.” “Passion's an essential motivating energy for vitality, power & creativity.”   ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks abouthow to manage stress, this episode is especially if you're in a giving profession like massage or psychotherapy, or a mum or entrepreneur, or if you feel your stress levels are too high generally. KEY TAKEAWAYS In caregiving professions were dealing with a lot of other peoples' stress as well as our own stress, so it's easy to get stressed out. If we're not careful burnout could be around the corner & burnout could end your career. So, we're going to have to do something about it.  Short term stress is something the body can handle. The nervous system's response is to send cortizols into the bloodstream and the body sends extra glucose to the brain, making our muscles strong, inhibiting digestion & sending blood to the skeletal muscle so that we can respond quickly. There's positive and negative stress. Positive stress has to do with growth. When we experience something new that challenges us or forces us to change our behaviour, we experience stress – like being in a new job or class. Negative stress can be debilitating, high stress levels in the adrenal glands can cause them to increase cortizol levels which, over an extended period of time may cause all sorts of health challenges.  Exercise, hang out with friends, go on vacation, take a spa day, go to a museaum, festival or concert, take a guided visualisation, practice yoga or thai chi, do some deep breathing. All of thes activities will releive stress. Sometimes I like to go out & hug a tree, trees have a vibrational frequency that's in alignment with our brains when we are in meditation. BEST MOMENTS “Our bodies were never meant to carry lots of cortizol over an extended period of time, our tissues can't have cortizol in them all the time without experiencing negative effects.”“When was the last time you did something fun for yourself that you enjoy? Everybody needs rewards, we give our kids & clients rewards.”“Everyone needs a balance of yin & yang in their lives.”“If you listen to your cells, the rewards are great.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode, in this series on energy anatomy, Ariel continues the journey into the chakras, by giving you the tools to gain access to more energy if you're feeling drained. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why should you care about your chakras? These are energy structures that bring energy into & out of your body through your energy field & out into the world. The chakras affect you in the physical world; your organs, body regions, & glands.  If you feel overwhelmed or overstimulated one or more of your chakras is probably too open. You can adjust how open your chakras are. You can set an intention & ask the specific chakra to open or close by a percentage & to spiral more or less energy in or out. Most people aren't taught how to regulate this energy because it's been ignored in the Western hemisphere for years.  To stimulate flow through your chakras; wear, eat foods in, look at plants, paingints or color swatches of the color of the chakra. Chant affirmations for a chakra. Use essential oils, herbs or foods that stimulate chakra flow. Play music or instruments in the note of a specific chakra. Chant the “seed syllable”, or the sound of the chakra. When you do, you may notice changes in your external life as your internal energy changes. Make a note of that in your journal or in your observations. When our internal flow changes, so do the results we experience. BEST MOMENTS “Clear the Chakras with the Violet Flame first! Visualize a violet flame in the chakra you want to clear to transmute negative energy, & THEN charge it with the color appropriate to that chakra.” “The reason why a lot of empaths are overstimulated by someone in emotional distress is because their own chakras are too open. They'd feel much more comfortable if they learned to regulate their input.” “Address the issues associated with certain chakras. For instance, if you aren't grounded you could walk on the ground with shoes off & feel the Earth. Or you could make a plan to accomplish a specific goal & take action steps for that plan.” “If you are a Reiki practitioner or an energyworker, you can send energy clear, charge, balance & harmonize a chakra.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode, Ariel talks about what to do when something unexpected happens, like your pipes burst in the middle of winter. It's not a fun experience, & is why the podcast has been delayed recently, but it is a good learning experience. Thanks Kathy, James, Maria & Peter for helping me with my pipes & a crisis! You are awesome! - Ariel KEY TAKEAWAYS Make sure you vet (check out their social media views, website, etc) & get their contact information ahead of time. The last thing you need when you are stressed & are hurriedly moving your possessions to keep them from getting flooded out & ruined by water is to take time to do this research then! You will need to call your plumber ASAP when there is flooding. If your broken pipes are on outside walls, you should consider paying more to replace PVC with copper pipes & have the plumber insulate them to prevent future breakage. Per my friend Peter Kakoczky, water & fire damage restoration is a $24 billion industry & the  biggest expense for home insurance companies. Normally people would call an insurance company to make a claim to get emergency work. However, I have been speaking with insurance brokers & some insurance companies are cancelling long-term client policies just for making a claim, so you may want to reconsider before you file a claim with your insurance company. Water intrusion is flooding, handled by companies (like Service Masters or ServePro, or Paul Davis), vs mold remediation. A mold remediation company removes any mold & replaces the insulation.

On this episode, in this series on energy anatomy, Ariel continues the journey into the chakras, beginning with the Earth and between-the-feet chakras & why those affect you in your daily life & why it's important. KEY TAKEAWAYS Imagine that green light emanates from the Divine Source at the Center of the Universe (your Universal Chakra), & flows down your Sushumna or Central Channel, clearing it as it goes. It sends you healing energy as it flows down through all of the chakras at the midline of your body, all the way out through each leg & foot. Imagine you are connecting with the hot molten Mother Earth energy through your roots.  How does this feel? Be present to how it makes you feel. Do you notice any changes? What happens to your energy when you ground? Were you grounded before? The flow the healing energy of the Earth all the way back up to your feet & through your Central Channel, out the top of your head & flow the green light all around & down through your auric field until it completely encapsulates you & charges you with green light. Use this exercise whenever you feel “spacy,” “in your head,” “floaty,” or not present. It will help you clear distractions & be more focused in any situation. BEST MOMENTS “When people say they don't have the bandwidth to deal with something, that's not just an expression of poor mental functioning, it's an expression of how much energy is flowing through the central channel.”“The lower chakras from first in life & they have to do with our feelings, thoughts and needs as human beings & how we express them.”“The higher chakras process spiritual energy; unconditional love, intuitive guidance & our connection with source.”“.One of the ways to shift what happens in your external life is to work on what happens with yourself internally.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath & Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode, the first in a new series on energy anatomy, Ariel talks about the chakras and how it applies to you, your life and why you need to know about it – because you do! KEY TAKEAWAYS Chakras are energy centres that receive, integrate and express life force energy. Literally, they are vortexes that spiral energy into & out of your body. Most people think energy is expressed out through the chakras and don't realise energy also comes in through the chakras. That is how we read the energies from other people, from food, animals, what's coming into your future. This is how empaths receive information and they read different information through different chakras. If you just KNOW information, you're reading it through your crown chakra (conscience). If you're reading visually, like auras, your third eye chakra is open (clairvoyance). If you can hear your spirit guides, people on the other side, or information about other people, these are you ear and throat chakras (clairaudience). If you can feel other people's feelings that through your solar plexus chakra (clairsentience). If you can taste energy, that's a chakra in your tongue (clairgoostance). If you can smell it, that's a chakra in your nose (clairolfactance). There are thousands of chakras all over the body, but the main ones are all along the central channel. Chakras transmit and receive energy consciously and subconsciously. Sometimes when you're around other people and they speak another language & all of a sudden it becomes easier for you to communicate in that other language, that's because information is being transmitted through the chakra, this is called EFR (Energetic Field Resonance). When I ask a client with neck pain: “How's work going?” there's usually some kind of challenge or upset with it. People store stress in their throat chakra as well as the physical neck.  BEST MOMENTS “Most people think energy work is just balancing the chakras, & that's a start, but it's only the beginning point.”“If your chakras aren't balanced or cleared they can affect how you perceive reality, your mood, digestion, your ability to relate to other people, your willpower, whether you trust yourself, whether you can express love & affection, & many other things.”“Chakras can be damaged by trauma, negative or intense experiences.”“Each chakra vibrates at a specific frequency, like sound, has its own specific colour.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about goal-setting and how to really get focussed and create and manifest the year that you want to create. KEY TAKEAWAYS New Years are a time of transition. A lot of people see them as a time to shift into something new, a different space, a time to think about what to create in the upcoming 12 months, look at resolutions or words that will categorise the year that's coming up. It's a time to pause, if you can, and reflect on what's coming up. Sometimes creating goals is more nuanced than simply writing them down and the steps to get to it. Sometimes we step backwards to go forward, sometimes we step sideways, sometimes we take a long detour that eventually gets us back to our goal. It's OK if moving into a space that you want to get to is not necessarily straightforward. Sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to accept that it's not always going to go the way it should. What kind of year do you want to create? How do you want to feel? What kind of feeling states do you want to experience (joy, peace, satisfaction, freedom)? What can you do to experience those states? Write them down somewhere. Sometimes we get distracted from our goals by emotional upset, there are a lot of things that push our buttons in life. When you get emotionally triggered it's important to breathe and do some kind of grounding activity to try to shift the emotional energy out of your body. That could be exercise, yoga, talking a walk, doing art, talking to a friend, writing down your feelings on a piece of paper and burning it. Then, imagine you're achieving that goal. That gets your mind into a state where you start finding creative answers to how you're going to achieve that goal. BEST MOMENTS “Do you want something different than you had before? Do you want to improve upon what you've already got going?” “Sometimes we just have to let some goals wait until we get higher priority goals complete and then we can move on with the secondary goals, and that's OK.” “Sometimes your goals involve other people and they don't necessarily do things that are in your control, all you can do is try to get in touch with those people, ask for what you need, if you can support them, and then visualise them helping you to achieve your goal.” “Life doesn't always show up the way we plan it to, sometimes it's actually better than what we planned.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel is joined by Kim Rahir to talk about her amazing journey from being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis to winning a European Masters Weightlifting Championship. KEY TAKEAWAYS One day I started seeing double, which is so scary. My immune system started attacking the muscle that keeps the eye in place. While I was in hospital undergoing lots of tests my legs started to lose sensitivity and in 2 weeks I was paralysed from the hip down. In the moment I was scared, but right now, I'm grateful for what happened because it put everything into perspective, you wouldn't believe how much stuff I don't care about anymore, like being late or your child getting a bad grade, I really know now what's important and what's not.  My doctor said my reflexes in the knee would never come back, but it came back with a vengeance, everything came back. I got so fit that I really didn't have the mindset of a sick person. You could call it denial, but I really just wanted to live my life. I kept training and lifting and did some fun stuff I'd never dared to do before, like mud racing. I was in my 50s and I would never have dared to do these things when I was in my 30s, I was having a hell of a time! My personal trainer suggested I try Olympic weightlifting which I remembered watching on TV as a girl, and I loved it right away because it's a mix of skill and strength and it's explosive. I'm convinced that becoming muscular saved my life and my health helped me to get out of this illness. When I work with clients everything gets better in their life when they get stronger. Science has been catching up really quickly over the last few years, we know now that muscle mass and muscular health is responsible for metabolic health (blood sugar management), functional independence – which helps you to have more fun and a more fulfilling life, and improved mental health.  BEST MOMENTS “Exercise is great for MS because MS comes with a lot of fatigue and exercise makes your body fatigue resistant.”“The common wisdom is that, when you're older, don't do dynamic stuff, don't do explosive movements, go do your yoga class and hold yourself quietly in a corner.”“One of the leading causes of accidental death is tripping and falling. When you're 60-70 and have a fall there's a 50% chance of dying the next year.”“The muscle-mind connection sounds like a woo-woo concept but it's actually science.” ABOUT THE GUEST Kim Rahir is an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, PN Level 1 Nutrition Coach, Buff Bones Osteoporosis Exercise Instructor, and RKC Certified (Kettlebell Training) who helps middle aged family women lose belly fat, gain mobility, vitality and longevity - sustainably. https://kimrahir.com/  ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about what resilience is and how to use it to deal with challenging times during the holidays. KEY TAKEAWAYS The holidays can be a time of family get togethers, fun, community, celebrating with people we love, but what if you're single, have no family where you live, feeling challenged, battling loneliness or other negative feelings? It's really common that a lot of people have negative feelings during the holidays. There are a lot of situations where people don't have all that positive, happy joy that happens during the holidays. Resilience can help. If you have the ability to be strong unto yourself and you experience aa difficult situation and you're able to bounce back into a healthy, positive frame of mind, routine, or being able to deal with the pressures and stresses of your life, that's resilience. When you ask for help from friends, family, mentors, online support groups is: What kind of strategies did they use to move through these issues? Did they take courses on how to address or deal with loneliness? Did they get coaching? Did they practice meditation to let go of the negative feelings? Did they exercise to get into a positive frame of mind? Did they get therapy to address the deeper issues associated with loneliness? When you've determined the kind of help you need determine what you can do for yourself. What tools do you have already to help you bounce back? Have you ever done psychotherapy before, or coaching courses, or meditation retreats – any kind of inner work. If you have, what did you learn then that you can use now? If you have been successful before you can be successful again. Do you have friends or family members that you can schedule quality time with that will brighten your life and make you feel happier and more uplifted? How do you usually address adversity? Do you run away from it or toward it? Think about something really challenging that you've already experienced and you got through, how did you get through it?   BEST MOMENTS “Resilience is the capacity to withstand or recover quickly from difficulties, toughness. Some people call it grit.”“Getting support is a really important thing you can do for yourself.”“Sometimes our problems don't feel so big when we volunteer to help others who may have bigger problems.”“Visualising yourself doing something (visual motor rehearsal) is a form of self-hypnotherapy and is a way to literally change your biochemistry to help you have a more positive frame of mind, mindset and step into the power of possibility so you're more likely to create that outcopme.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode, Ariel talks about becoming more powerful than 90% of other people in you interactions as well as more confident, she teaches you how to be free of conflict-avoidant habits by learning to receive feedback.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Most people are conflict-avoidant (at least 90% of people), if you can overcome being conflict-avoidant you can be more powerful than 90% of the people out there in the world. The way to do that is to become comfortable with receiving feedback from other people.  It's very empowering to be able to own who you are as a person, it's also an act of self-love, self-compassion and self-acceptance. If you own and accept yourself as a person – your choices, your decisions, what you've done in the past, what you're doing now, what your goals are, and where you are in your life – and can identify areas that are working and not working and what to do to make changes in your life going forward, you're more open to learning and being a life-long learner which includes learning what people think about you or about how you make other people feel When you're receiving information or hearing from other people about something that you've done, said, how you've shown up or made them feel, if they're giving you positive feedback it's really important to be gracious and actually listen to them and receive it. Allow them to give you a compliment and allow yourself to believe it, don't take transformational workshops to learn how to receive compliments, save yourself a lot of time and money! Just give yourself permission to receive them, it's not vanity or ego. If someone is giving you feedback that is negative, try to do your best to listen without being defensive. Most people are terrible at giving feedback, they need to set up a time and place to do it and they need to get your permission and most people don't know how to do that. If someone tries to give you feedback (outside of a coaching/parent-child situation) without your permission, you might need to say: “I need you to ask me if it's OK to give this feedback to me before I hear you.” BEST MOMENTS“The most powerful thing you can do in you live is leave people with the feeling of being inspired, uplifted, lightened and brightened. If you can do that, you've made a difference on this planet and your life was meaningful.”“One of the ways to grow personally is to make improvements on our perspective, mindset, work on our bodies, attitude, the power of possibility and what we can do to make our lives and ourselves better.”“Other people probably, in a lot of cases, have more positive opinions of you than you may have of yourself.”“When people give you feedback, usually a large portion of that is their own issues, their own emotional reactions, their own stuff. There may be something in there that could be a gift for you to learn from, but it's almost never 100% about you. But sometimes it is you.” ABOUT THE HOSTAriel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast Ariel is joined once more by Darren Jamieson to talk about choices in the business world which can also apply to your daily life. KEY TAKEAWAYS You want to make sure you like the clients that you work with because if you do it's always a much nicer, easier working environment and you'll go the extra mile for them. If you don't like them, you dread them calling you, you dread picking up the phone, you dread speaking to them, everything about them. There are certain personality types that don't gel; the people who go through agency after agency because they're looking for the one that's right for them where the reality is they're the problem. I've learned to spot this early on, but I still get the feeling that I shouldn't turn a client away because it's business and they might lead to someone else, or they might not be as bad as I think. But, 99 times out of 100 they are! You need to leave on good terms and make it clear that you're not the right fit for each other and you both clearly have different paths/journeys to take. Recommend someone that could potentially help them with their journey and where they want to go so that you can go and work with people that aren't dickheads. The biggest thing I've done in business, and what a lot of people strive to do but don't quite succeed at, is not going into business and give yourself a job. I run a digital marketing agency, I'd don't design and build websites, do the SEO, send the email marketing campaigns myself anymore, all of that is done by other people. My job now is talking on podcasts, speaking on stages, networking with people, and doing the kind of stuff that drives leads into the business. You need to hire the right people to do that. You need to hold onto the people that are good, give them the opportunities they want for growth, that they want to do more ‘cool stuff' rather than just the technician parts. You need to let other people grow as well, you need to let them make their own decisions and empower them so that when problems or opportunities come into the business they can make those decisions themselves rather than keep coming to you to ask what they should do. BEST MOMENTS“My favourite way of firing a client is to have someone else at EngageWeb do it for me because I don't want to do it!”“We've never had a negative review, we've never had anyone have a pop at us on social media or anything. I'm surprised at that because of how outspoken I am, I've tried!”“On paper we had a really good team and should have won, but unfortunately the game wasn't played on paper, it was played on grass.”“I hate being the technician and doing the do, it's boring. You can't take time off or go anywhere because you stop earning. You need to get off that as soon as you can.” ABOUT THE GUEST TEDx speaker (his talk is "Why is Everything in the World So Strange"), stand-up comedy award winner and co-founder of digital marketing agency Engage Web – Darren Jamieson – has been in the field of online marketing since the last century.

On this episode Ariel continues her series about connecting with intuition and getting higher guidance by working with muscle testing by accessing the ability to ask questions that can be quite profound. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your body is an energetic as well as physical structure, energy flows through your auric field, through your meridians, your nervous system, and that energy is a way to get answers to your questions. Where your nervous system connects to your muscular system is called a neuro-muscular junction which bridges the energetic and the physical. The strength of the energy going through your nervous system can be tested by the strength of your muscles, especially when pressure or resistance is applied. If you set an intention: “strong is for yes, weak is for no” when you ask a “yes” question you will see a strong muscular contraction when you apply resistance to a muscle and a “no” question can be answered through the demonstration of a weak muscular connection. The governing vessel, which is one of the main meridians that feeds energy to the other meridians in the body, is the hard palette in the roof of your mouth. Your conception vessel comes from your pelvis to the tip of your tongue, so when you connect your tongue to the roof of your mouth you're actually creating a flow of energy, processing and feeling that energy flow as you're breathing. If you ask emotional questions about human relationships, like “Is my boyfriend cheating on me”, you might get squishy results. This is where the muscles don't give you a strong yes or no answer because you're emotionally attached to the answer or afraid of what the answer is. BEST MOMENTS“When you muscle test, you have to be clear.”“It's important to let go of your attachment to answers so you can get correct information.”“The questions you ask have to be yes or no questions, but they also have to be specific, not fuzzy. Although you can start vague and get more specific.”“If you have high self-esteem – which is one of the biggest issues I encounter in my practice – all of a sudden your life's going to change because you're going to want different things, have different boundaries, and demand different things of people than you would if you had low self-esteem.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel continues her conversation about the power of spirit guides and gives more detail about how you can connect and questions you can ask. KEY TAKEAWAYS I've been working with spirit guides for 52 years, since I was 3. So, for me, talking with spirit guides is normal, I understand why it seems weird to those who don't have experience with it. Your different chakras and how open they are dictate how you experience information. You also need to slow down your brain waves by doing meditation or repetitive activity to start to connect with them and consistently listen. It requires putting your ego to one side and being open to receiving information, it also requires being grounded and emotionally and energetically clear. How does it help to work with your guides on a regular basis? Your quality of life can really improve, building trust and trusting that there's a flow to the universe can happen, getting direction, not only for basic practical things like cooking a great recipe, but also life direction and where it's in your best interest to connect to the highest energy or consciousness of the universe and how you can contribute to that, also safety, abundance, and aligning with your own personal growth and soul goals. Most people start getting guidance by getting feelings, their energy is most open in their solar plexus chakra than their other chakras and they start getting feelings. When they start to follow up on those feelings to see what happens, and if they start to see results, they get more feelings to follow up on. It's a process that develops and could take years, if not decades. The advice I give you will take years off the process if you follow it. If you set an intention that there's something you want to manifest or create, often it's something beyond what you think you can manifest or create now, you may start getting hints, feelings and ideas about actions you could take, people you could talk to, things you could do, and if you follow through on those you could manifest some really incredible things. BEST MOMENTS“The more you trust, the more guidance you'll get.”“Guides are not beings that know everything, they're beings that are growing and developing too, but they're usually several steps ahead of you in spiritual development, so it's a good idea to follow their suggestions or guidance.”“The ego wants to keep us where we are and wants to keep us from moving.”“There are a lot of different types of guides out there: Angels, ancestors, plant guides, animal guides, spirit guides, and even business guides and creativity guides.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about the power of spirit guides: Have you ever wondered if you've had guides or how to connect with them? KEY TAKEAWAYS Have you ever felt like you weren't alone, or wished you weren't alone? Some of us can feel our spirit guides, feel their presence even though we don't know that they're there. Sometimes we wish we could connect to our guides; I get asked this a lot. It's a process that takes time to do, it's a journey, you can't just click your fingers and connect with them. There are personal goals and there are soul goals. Soul goals are the goals we had for coming here, why did we come to this life, what's the point? They're usually big picture goals, like I came here to overcome a difficult childhood and still have hope and spread that hope, love and caring to other people, or I came here to inspire or lead people or even a country. Personal goals are different, like I'd like to have a nice family, grow up in a nice place to live, go to good schools, get a good job, have a good career, marry someone great, retire and enjoy the rest of my life. The universe know what you're thinking on the inside whether you say it on the outside or not. It knows what you do whether you do it privately or in front of other people and when it does that it creates an energetic record of what you've done, and it's about bringing things into balance. If you commit good karma, good karma comes back to you, if you commit bad actions, negative consequences come to you. It's not always direct, it's not always in one incarnation, sometimes things happen later which is why it's confusing and people wonder why they're being punished for being a good person in this life. Sometimes things happen much, much later and there's not an obvious return on the energy. Spirit guides help us move through our lives and make choices based on our soul goals and they help us address and deal with some of the things that we have to deal with in life. What does the voice of guidance sound like? There are a lot of different guides and they all have different personalities, some of them a high-vibrational beings, like angels, some of them are ancestors, plant guides, animal guides, business and creativity guides. They can help you with different projects and things you're working on. They know what you said you were going to do before you came here that you don't remember as a human being.   BEST MOMENTS “Guides are beings – and there are a lot of different types out there – that are there to help you grow as a spiritual person.”“Karma is a force or an energy generated from the actions, thoughts, feelings and beliefs that you have or commit.”“Sometimes when we pick our lives and what we're going to do with them, sometimes part of our soul goal is to pay off karmic debt.”“Sometimes their communication is obvious, but most of the time it's not. Most of the time it's very subtle and the way you learn to communicate with them is by learning how to tune in and listen to things that are subtle, as well as how to calm your mind down and slow down your brain waves so you can actually perceive what they're sharing.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

In this episode, Ariel talks about the power of the empath. If you pick up on other people's energies and are looking for ways to feel balanced, energetically, or you can't leave a relationship behind, listen in. KEY TAKEAWAYS Have you ever felt like you can't go to public places because people's energy did not feel good to you, do you feel overwhelmed by other people's upsets and anger, do you feel like people's energy is inside of you and you can't get it out, do you have a tendency to have a lot of needy and narcissistic people in your life? If so, you're probably an untrained empath and you don't need to live your life like that. Having these abilities is a good thing if you know how to regulate and control them. A lot of people don't even know that these are abilities, they just know that they feel people's energy, but they are abilities and they can be honed and trained to use as a skill as and when you want to. You can also regulate and control them so you don't have to feel people's energy if you don't want to. As an empath from early childhood, I've had to find ways to create tools to regulate sensitivity levels. You don't have to feel like people's energy regulates/dictates what you or has you avoid people, you don't have to live like that. When you manage those gifts you do have to admit something to yourself: That as an empath, you're the one seeking control. You may not like hearing it but it's true. When you're around other people and they're angry or upset about something, do you think things like: “They have bad energy”, or “I don't like the way their energy feels”, or “That makes me uncomfortable”, or “My energy is better than that”, just be aware of it because you're judging them for whatever they're going through. Human beings have a whole range of emotions that they express and the vibrational frequencies of those different emotions eminate through their fields and, as an empath, you feel what's going on in their energy field. You can choose how you relate to that; you could judge it, try to change it (which is what most empaths do), or you could let them have what they're having without judging (being in “allow mode”).   BEST MOMENTS “You don't want to feel like you're being controlled by people's moods and emotions and you don't want to feel like you're being drained by other people.”“A lot of people that are empaths tend to attract people that are controlling, needy, demanding, or narcissistic people because a lot of empaths have a need to feel needed. That's something you can change and transform into something that's a lot healthier.”“You have a gift. It's not a burden, but first of all you have to own a few things.”“Recognise when you don't care for someone else's energy and process it on your own, practice energy management, don't process other people's energy, cut it out, it's not your job.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about Zelle, some cautionary tales about it and why you shouldn't use it to save you money and to protect you from being scammed. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are different ways to pay each other and a lot of people mention Zelle. Zelle is not secure and it's rampant with fraud. A report came out on October 3rd about why Zelle is rife with fraud, how people can be taken advantage of and lose their money. Zelle is a financial services organisation created by a bunch of banks that they don't necessarily control or report. In other words: If people lose their money on Zelle they never get it back and there's no way to get it back. They're breaking their promises to their customers and they're potentially violating Federal law. The theft and fraud are rampant on Zelle, and they are increasing. P&C Bank reported that theft amounts increased from 8,848 cases on Zelle in 2020 to over 12,300 in 2022. US Bank reported 14,886 fraud and scam claims on Zelle in 2020 and it went up to 45,000 in 2022. They're not repaying a vast majority of these cases. Zell says that they are a ‘platform', like Meta and X, and because of this they're not responsible for the loss of money.   BEST MOMENTS “Zelle is: You get someone's email and then you can send them money from your bank, but here's why this is a problem: Hackers can break in to people's emails and they can take that money.”“The difference between Zell and credit cards is that credit cards have protections because if work done by the Consumer Protection Bureau called the Fair Credit Billing Act so people can get money back if something's taken from a creditor debit card, on Zelle you don' have any recourse at all.”“If someone's asking you to send money to an email address that is somebody's personal name you really should think about this, it's one thing to send it to your uncle, but it's a different thing if you're sending it to a company.”“Unless you have millions of dollars stolen, it's essentially like living in a lawless world.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about how vital the power of consent is to protect you legally, emotionally, and physically. Offenses involving forced sex accounted for 60.4% of the total violent crime analyzed between 2019 and 2021, according to DegreeChoice's findings. Xavier University, University of Michigan, Drexel University in Philadelphia, Ohio State University and Harvard University ranked as the top five schools with the highest rates of reported rape making up the campus' violent crime. Instances of rape qualified for at least 89.5% of the violent crimes committed at the aforementioned schools, with Xavier University reporting 98.8% of all violent crime was reported cases of rape. According to The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), one of the largest nonprofit anti-sexual assault nonprofits in the U.S., only 20% of female students aged 18-24 reported sexual assault to law enforcement. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you're on Facebook and you see those questions like “What type of cat/mermaid/whatever are you?” or you buy a supposedly free app that takes your information and sells it to a third-party provider, you are the product. You're giving anyone who's collecting that information about you for them to sell to someone else or use it to market and advertise to you. If you're dating and a man expects you to pay attention to him just because he's talking to you, or to make him happy by catering to his ego, or expects you to send compromising photos of yourself just because he sent you unsolicited D-pics and acts all hurt and upset because you say no, these situations are all areas where you can use the power of consent. We give consent when we sign implied contracts authorising the use of our images just by uploading them on social media, or when we go in for a medical appointment and we expect our provider to keep our information confidential and safe. We also give consent when we sign permission slips for our kids to go on school field-trips, but one of the things that's not always obvious and is in the fine print is that we're also absolving those schools of any leal of medical responsibility if something should happen to our children, that's why it's sometimes a good idea to get an additional insurance policy that covers situations like that. Most of us are way too permissive with our emotional boundaries. We'll give in to someone, we'll let them pressure us to do something that we shouldn't be doing or isn't quite right just to make them happy. We're also way too permissive with our bodies and our boundaries and our legal information. BEST MOMENTS“Too often I see people, especially women, giving away access to our legal rights, our money, our emotion real estate, and our bodies, often to be nice, make peace, or people-please. DON'T!”“Consent is key.”“Don't put something up on social media that you intend to sell, like a photograph because there's an implication that you are giving them rights to your images and they could contest that if you were to sell them elsewhere.”“Read the terms and conditions (Ts&Cs), they crop up everywhere – especially gym contracts, you wouldn't believe what you're signing up for.” ABOUT THE HOSTAriel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast Ariel is joined by Darren Jamieson to talk about the power of digital marketing, he has lots of great information, ideas and tools that may surprise you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Digital marketing is the essence of getting leads and sales into your business via the internet. It's selling to people, or gaining trust with people that you haven't necessarily met yet they still trust you and want to buy from you because they've seen you on the internet somewhere and thought you're good, you can do what I need, I want to get in touch with you. With the advent of AI and the dreaded ChatGTP you're going to get a lot of soulless crap out there using all the buzzwords, hooks and structures that you get for content on LinkedIn. Things like: “I've been thinking lately…” then something outlandish, or “something you don't know about me…” It's all structured, it's all templated. The way to do it properly is to get yourself out there, your own personality and character, AI cannot imitate people even though it tries, it cannot be you. It's about attracting your band, your batch, your people, your clan. The sort of people that are going to be with you, the best people to work with , the people you're going to love working with and are going to love working with you. Don't try to appeal to everybody because it's not going to work, you're just going to end up with people that, quite frankly, are idiots that you're not going to want to deal with  and are going to be more hassle than it's worth. So, put your own personality and opinions no matter how objectionable and ridiculous they may be to some, to others they're going to hit the nail right on the head and they're the people you're going to want to work with anyway. If your business is B2B LinkedIn is your best starting point and you should be using it not as an online CV, which most people use it for, they see it as an online recruitment platform. Don't list all the jobs you've done and the education you've had because, while that's important, it's not what's going to set you aside from your competitors in the business world. Use it to talk about the wins and successes you've had, the skills you've got, what you've done in business, and always focus on your client – talk about who you've helped and how, don't talk about yourself. If you're B2C a Googe profile is the quickest, easiest and fastest thing to do, and I'm stunned at the number of businesses that don't have one or have one unclaimed or poorly put together. BEST MOMENTS“Some people say you shouldn't have too much personality in your [LinkedIn] posts because “it's not Facebook” and that it should be all business and corporate-y, but they can quite frankly do one. If people don't like you on LinkedIn that's cool, that just means you've pre-qualified them as not your ideal client.”“If you're not annoying people you're not doing enough.”“Twitter or X recently updated the app so that when you log in you no longer see people you follow but people that will be most interesting to you, and they deliberately put in people you disagree with.”“Nobody wins with happiness on social media, it's all about the angst and the disagreement. It does make it a bit of a cess pool, it's not good for your mental health to be on Twitter.” ABOUT THE GUEST TEDx speaker (his talk is "Why is Everything in the World So Strange"), stand-up comedy award winner and co-founder of digital marketing agency Engage Web – Darren Jamieson – has been in the field of online marketing since the last century.

On this episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast Ariel is joined by Lorraine Gill, a reiki master, massage therapist and queen of metal who has some fascinating stories to share. Taist of Iron performed at the Keep It True Festival, headed by Oliver Weinzheimer in Lauda-Königshofen. https://en.concerts-metal.com/concert_-_Keep_It_True_Festival_2018-41232.html KEY TAKEAWAYS We live in a culture that doesn't allow us to wail, essentially, and I tend to be a stoic person to begin with. Heavy metal is a way for me to get out there and yell and scream, I can use my vocal chords in that way and it's a cathartic release. I love the feeling of the pounding in my chest at a loud heavy metal concert, it's got its own vibration. I'm fairly resistant, but if I'm willing to walk forward I can usually make just about anything happen. But I'm always resistant first, saying: “No, I can't do that!” After some years off I said I'd never be able to sing metal again, but after a lot of building my vocal chords back up it turns out that I can, even doing some Ronnie James Dio songs. At a festival in Germany I was giving myself negative self-talk thinking people wouldn't want to watch us, but there were thousands of people there. I looked down at the front row and saw a woman singing my words back to me. At the signing party later she handed me a copy her own album where she'd covered one of my songs and it's a really fantastic version. Non-metal listeners thing of it as just noise, but it expresses so much. It pounds against me in a way that I really love, and when I'm in a group of people watching a metal show there's an energy exchange between the musicians and the audience that is so powerful. It's a very powerful form of music if you love it and there's a lot of camaraderie in the metal world, especially in Europe – not so much here in the states – where they travel around Europe to festivals, it's their life.   BEST MOMENTS “Metal is really theatrical. The first concert I played they lowered my from the ceiling in a coffin.”“Metal requires a lot of effort and it take a lot of energy, it's kind of like giving birth.”“I'm one of the mothers of obscure metal… or the grandma!”“There's a bit of misogyny in heavy metal, to be sure, but there are so many women singing metal.” ABOUT THE GUEST Contact the Taist of Iron page on Facebook and tell her you heard of her through Woman Power Zone or Facebook @LorraineGill.  Lorraine Gill began as a lead singer in 1982, began studying Reiki in 1987 and became a Massage Therapist in in 2008.

On this episode Ariel talks about the amazing healing power of hot springs. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are natural hot springs and there are hot springs that are in a resort, I'm going to recommend both because the minerals in the water are truly transformational and healing and address a lot of different health issues. There are different types of hot springs with different types of mineral concentrations, but most of us – and I hate to say it – are mineral deficient because the top soil that our food grows in has been depleted of minerals. Most of us don't take mineral supplements, they take vitamins, but that's not minerals. Sometimes we need to sit in water that has minerals in it. It's really important to have the experience of soaking in hot springs. Not only can it help you relax, but it can also help address different health issues like insomnia, headaches, arthritis, back pain, heart health issues, diabetes issues, and it can also sometimes help people with MS. BEST MOMENTS “I took a friend to a springs and she had neck pain when she showed up and she didn't have neck pain when she left.”“There are books and websites out there that will give you guides to go to find natural hot springs.”“The oldest hotel in the world is in Japan and they pipe mineral hot spring water into their hotel.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode Ariel talks about how exercise can help with mental, emotional, and physical issues as well as improve our mood KEY TAKEAWAYS Have you ever felt down, out of sorts, or in a negative space? Do you have a love partner with erectile dysfunction? Are your kids driving you crazy? Are you having trouble sorting out your thoughts or creating something? Do you experience depression or anxiety? All of these issues can be addressed with one simple activity: Regular exercise. You're not a larger person because there's something wrong with you or you have character defects, that's a stereotype. A lot of people don't necessarily want to do exercise because they want to relax after a tiring day at work, they might be busy, it's hard to fit exercise into your life, but exercise can make a difference in your life though not always to make you look better. I find that people who do exercise do look better, but they aren't necessarily thinner; they have a glow about them, they've got more self-confidence, their posture is better. And there are so many health benefits that I can't even name all of them. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with taking meds to lose weight if that's going to work for you to get the weight off so you can do more with your life. For some people who want to make changes in their lives, they look at weight loss as one of those solutions. Some people feel overwhelmed by weight loss (dieting, exercise, everything). For some people, when they take the med, they start a cycle: After losing the initial weight it becomes easier for them to move and exercise more frequently to lose more weight. A lot of times you have to take it ongoing for the rest of your life though, especially if you're dealing with diabetes, in which case that's fine. The current CDC guidelines recommend that each week adults in America need 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity and two days of muscle strengthening activity. Most of us, if we get three workout sessions in a week, would consider ourselves lucky, I'd say. Moderate intensity depends on you. For some people, walking s moderate intensity, for others it's hiking, for others it could even be running. If you're going to set yourself exercising goals, start with “do what you can do”.   BEST MOMENTS “The most available, cheapest, and easiest method to begin to address depression or negativity was something that people use the least: Exercise. You can shift your biochemistry by exercising.”“If you're doing exercise just to look good – which a lot of people do – and not for how it makes you feel, you're missing out.”“When you see anything about weight loss on social media, those people are always trying to sell you a program or a supplement.”“4,000 steps a day is actually enough, someone made up that 10,000 steps a day number.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

In this episode, Ariel talks about how women can be more empowered when they're buying a car including tips on how to decide what features you might need, how to make a fully informed decision as well as how to get the best price.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Before you buy a car you're going to want to figure out what you want to buy that car for: Some people need to transport children, family members, pets, groceries or equipment, some may want to buy a car as an investment – if it's a restored car, some may need it for commuting. Then you want to look at which kinds of cars will meet those needs. Talk to your friends, look online and do review research and see what people say about those particular cars. Your goal is to narrow it down to 3 different cars – they don't all have to be the same brand – that you're thinking about leasing or buying. They you get your budget set up for how much money you can put down as a downpayment as well as how much money you can afford to pay per month. It's good to have a range here because when you get into the dealership they're going to try to negotiate with you. Consider bringing someone to the dealership with you. It might be helpful to bring a man with you (if you have a man in your life) regardless of whether they're your father/brother/relationship/friend. Sadly, sexism is still rampant in a lot of dealerships and a lot of times the dealer will speak to and negotiate with the man there with you rather than the woman, and you can use this to your advantage. You can do good cop bad cop scenario where you're the good cop and your companion can be the bad cop, pointing out the negative points of the sale. If you have experience buying cars and you don't feel you need someone else there that's fine too, but you do need to have good boundaries. If you don't have a good credit score you're going to want to bring that up before you buy a car because they're going to charge you interest rates based on your car FICO score, which is not the same thing as your regular FICO score. BEST MOMENTS “Research online before you go into a dealership because their goal is to sell you that day regardless of whether you tell them you're just looking, they don't care.”“Cars depreciate the moment you drive off the lot.”“Don't come into car buying with emotions high, car buying is a business decision.”“If you just want to test drive cars, you're going to need to make sure they know that's what you're there for. They're still going to try to get you to buy.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast Ariel is joined by Mena Canonico who helps people get to the root of their issues in a very unique way and she has an amazing story.Mena trained with the Coaches Leadership ProgramA great question from her Coaches Leadership Program: "What were you born at this time in history to do?"Another great program: "What is the treasure in the trauma?" KEY TAKEAWAYS The root of where I am today started when my family moved to Liberty Street on a 10-acre farm when I was 6 years old and our neighbours had horses. I immediately fell in love and I pestered my parents until they brought a horse for me, called Lady. Everything was lovely until one day when I was riding her near the road and a tractor trailer came by, spooked her, she reared up, I came off, she ran and hit a fence with barbed wire attached. In that moment I felt completely powerless, abandoned, helpless, at a loss. I don't think I truly realised how traumatic it was for me, but I made the decision never to ride horses again. Not long after that my parents split up, sold the farm and I was away from horses for 24 years. I worked in corporate for 16 years and I realised that this was not what I wanted to be doing. So, I started looking around to figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I started asking questions and reading books, finally I discovered life coaching and went to an information session and immediately knew this was it. From there I was put forward for the leadership training program, which is $10,000 in 2005. I didn't see myself as a leader at all, but I took the program after being packaged out of the job I was at, which afforded me the $10k. That was the catalyst for me to take a leap of faith and leave corporate almost 17 years ago now. I started going into schools talking to youths about being real and authentic. As I was doing that, people asked if there was anything I could do just for the girls. Through that I got connected to a 15 year old girl in Florida in 2009 who said she wanted to interview me but she was really there to open my eyes to the fact that horses have these incredible gifts. Horses saved her life, they help you get grounded and help you get grounded, get focussed, you become a better leader, a better partner, and at 15 she was doing clinics for kids who had ADHD and autism. I made it my mission to overcome my fear and incorporate horses into my business and my life's work, to help remind women of how incredibly powerful we are. Also that every single traumatic experience we've ever had, we can look at it differently and we can look for the treasure in that trauma. BEST MOMENTS“For my whole life I believed that I was not good enough because I was a girl, which I think many of us buy into that… until we don't.”“I was born at this time in history to show people how to take off their masks and be real.”“My destiny was formed the moment I fell off my horse, Lady.”“None of us are immune from imposter syndrome, you might as well let go of that idea, the more work you can do on yourself the more people you're going to be able to become empowered.” ABOUT THE GUEST Mena CanonicoFounder, Liberty Lane RetreatsCertified Facilitator of Equine Experiential LearningSocials: 416-999-REAL (7325)https://www.libertylaneretreats.com  (coming soon - sign up to be the first to know!)https://www.facebook.com/LibertyLaneRetreats https://www.instagram.com/menaandthefreedomherd https://www.linkedin.com/in/menacanonico HOST GUESTAriel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast Ariel is joined by reiki master, yoga and meditation teacher, Kristen Fewel, to talk about the power of meditation, some different aspects of meditation and where to get started. KEY TAKEAWAYS I came to meditation out of necessity. I was in a really hard place for a really long time. I started with yoga classes and energy work. The best advice I ever got at that time was: “Kristen, you're going to need to learn yoga, learn how to manage your energy and not give it away all the time to anyone, and you're going to need to learn and practice reiki. If you can make those things a part of your life you're going to be OK, you're going to make it, you're going to be better than OK.” It's about reflecting on what thoughts are coming in, or just accepting that you had a thought and then being willing to let it go and see what arises, feel it coming into your field of awareness and then letting that go. With practice it becomes more reflective so that you recognise your habits and patterns, what is your mind doing while you're sitting, lying, walking, doing a thing. Are you able to do the thing that you set out to do? Which for me was just sitting, it's the most complicated part of meditation – sitting still – rather than focussing on doing an activity. You have to establish your sitting posture so you're comfortable in your body while you're sitting. That's where yoga comes in. We've discovered in our group that we have shared meditation experiences. We do dialogue a little bit after our session to find out if anything interesting comes up, and sometimes images or spiritual guidance will come into the room and are shared by 1, 2, or 3 people. It's really remarkable and powerful. I find that private lessons with an experienced teacher is the best way of getting on the right track with meditation rather than having to come in contact with all of the many obstacles which will come up, and there are many. You can get past those hurdles fairly quickly and have successful meditation if you have an experienced teacher. A group class isn't as fine tuned to the individual, but it will still give you something. BEST MOMENTS“Meditation doesn't happen the first time you sit down and do it. It doesn't even happen the tenth or the fiftieth time, but if you stay with it you feel your feelings, you get through the hardest part, and then it opens up to you.”“We're working on attracting more people who want to try to extend their sitting time to 45-60 minutes because that's when really profound things and major shifts start to occur.”“I'm a participant just like everybody else, I'm working through my stuff just like everybody else, I do the practice.”“If you're not ready for meditation, perhaps you'd like to explore aspects of mindfulness, which are different. Mindfulness is noticing what's going on in the moment but not necessarily with reflection on it.” ABOUT THE GUEST Kristen Fewel is a seasoned teacher with more than two decades of yoga practice and study. She uses an adaptable breath-centred approach inspired by the teachings of TKV Desikachar and Krishnamacharya to guide students toward breathing and being with depth and ease. Kristen's  teaching points to the importance of mindfulness and meditation as a way to enjoy life more, and as a path to discover your true potential. Kristen spends most of her time with individuals doing yoga therapy or reiki energy work at Full Circle. She received her certifications from Dianne Harman of the Yoga Experience, Ariel Hubbard of Hubbard Education Group, and Dr. Amy Wheeler of The Optimal State of Living.  A perpetual student, she continues her studies in yoga, qigoing, tai chi, and energy work.Socials:Website: https://www.fullcircleyogaoc.com/ ABOUT THE HOST GUESTAriel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

In this episode Ariel talks about the value of providing feedback and some tips on how to do that. Tips for Sharing Feedback:Trust your intuitionIf you get an intuitive insight to share feedback with someone, make sure you take the time to do this. It sends a message to your subconscious that your feelings and insights are valid, and that you have enough confidence, and care for yourself enough to share your feelings and insights with others. It builds a positive relationship with yourself.Get permission firstGetting permission is key, so that people are receptive, and don't feel like their boundaries are being violated. If you launch into giving feedback without getting permission first, you look like a rude, bossy, controlling person, and a natural reaction of someone would be to be defensive or ignore you. When you don't get permission first, you often trigger peoples' parent/child archetypes, where you show up as a parent and they are a child. Naturally, people feel uncomfortable in this situation.Bring compassion to your feedbackBefore you speak, connect with your Heart Chakra in the centre of your chest. Imagine a pink light there that emanates from there through your entire body. Imagine you are connecting with a deep Source of loving compassion.  And from this place of compassion, what would you say to this person? It probably would not be anything like, "You have too much stuff," or "I hated your class," or any kind of shaming or patronising comment.  It would be something that would let them know your experience of what they are doing without being negative, but instead, indicating how they could grow.Express gratitude when a person listensIt is so important to give thanks, in some way, that a person spent their valuable time listening to you. It reinforces to your subconscious that people do listen (which is an important lesson for all of us to learn and hear, and often different than what we were taught in childhood), WHILE sending the powerful and positive energy of gratitude to that person, which triggers a positive endorphin release.   Generating a positive energy flow also encourages people to listen more to feedback in the future, and it also creates a positive bonding experience with that person.Avoid having expectations of that person "doing" anything with your feedbackLet yourself have the satisfaction that you did share your feelings and insights and feel good about that. Let go of your egoic desire to have the person "get it" or take a specific action based on your feedback.  We are all sentient beings making our own choices, and the other person may choose to ignore your feedback. Just let sharing it and having it be heard be enough.  Then you don't cloud the positive energy exchange with your expectations and desires and that frees up a lot of energy to feel happy and free! BEST MOMENTS“Even though we live in an economy that's based on feedback, when it comes to interpersonal interactions, many people are afraid to do this, especially people from younger generations.”“Have you ever considered that sharing your insights could provide invaluable information for someone to learn, improve, heal or grow?”“When people are receptive to feedback they don't feel like their boundaries are being violated and that makes it more likely that information is going in and that they're going to receive it.”“There are times I've taken risks where I wanted to give feedback to someone because I thought it would affect their career. I was nervous about it but, I trusted my intuition that I needed to talk about it, I asked for permission, I spoke with compassion, and I thanked them for their time and it was life-changing for them because the compassion I used to give them the information translated into me giving them feedback that completely changed the way they did things which opened up a whole other realm for them in their career.” ABOUT THE HOSTAriel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

This episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast is a crossover show with Connected Communication. Ariel is joined by guest host Christine Mullaney to discuss what great communication is and what it isn't. KEY TAKEAWAYS My first big communication was with my spirit guides. I had abilities which I was aware of at about 3, but I didn't know that other people didn't have them until about 6. I realised that I couldn't work with human beings in the way other people did. I was seeing auras and energy around people, I was seeing spirits from the other side and nature intelligences.  I had a narcissist as a mother and I recognised there were mental health issues from an early age, I could sense that I wasn't safe on a bunch of different levels, including talking about these things. So, I started talking to my spirit guides to work out what was real and what wasn't, and they gave me meditation practices to combat my anxiety.  I wouldn't wish my childhood on anyone, and communicating with them kept me sane, balanced and getting through that into something more positive in my life. When we're communicating with people, we need to tune into how what they're saying makes us feel. I was on LinkedIn last night and I got a cold pitch, which I'm not a fan of, it was very cold, frosty, clinical and technically accurate. I gave the guy feedback that LinkedIn is not what this is for, it's about developing relationships. He said “I've been using AI and I'm not sure it's working”. That explained why it was so cold , frosty, distant and technically accurate: It was a computer! Trust your inner feelings and intuition. Your body and your auric fields can read the intention of the person you're communicating with, what's coming off of that person's chakras, what's in that person's energy field. If you feel openness, freedom, calm, peaceful, tranquil feelings or states, if you perceive that you feel relaxed, that's a response to a positive energy from that person. If you feel stressed, angry, resentful your beingness/body/energy field can read when someone's crossing a line. BEST MOMENTS“Spirit guides are beings whose goal is to help us develop spiritually.”“In my family, I'm the only person who doesn't have some kind of issue mentally where I don't need medication.”“We relate to the divine in a way that we can based on our consciousness as a filter. The more open your brain is, the more expanded your awareness of what Source energy is.”“We're going to have to get really smart in detecting AI, because it's learning how to use human-esque voices in the written word.” ABOUT THE GUEST HOSTChristine Mullaney is a nature-loving wanderer and adventurer by weekend and brain-based communication, public speaking and presentation skills coach on weekdays.  Her life task is to empower and enlighten through education.

On this episode Ariel talks about the power of beating hackers and she gives you some examples of what to do if your information has been stolen online or if your profile has been taken on Facebook. Dating Protection: Woman Power Zone episodes 71, 72, 73. Money and Credit: Woman Power Zone episodes 16 and 17. The MOVEit incident is the result of a major cyber event involving federal agencies and corporations around the world. The threat actor behind this incident has threatened to publish sensitive information acquired through the vulnerability. Please consider taking the following actions recommended by the Social Security Administration and credit bureaus. Closely monitor credit reports. Obtain a free copy of your credit report, which you're entitled to once every 12 months, from each of the three major credit reporting agencies: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. Place a fraud alert on your accounts by contacting one of the credit reporting agencies; a fraud alert at one of the agencies will automatically notify the other two. A fraud alert tells creditors to contact you before opening any new accounts or before making changes to existing accounts. Freeze your credit at each of the three major credit reporting agencies. Agencies will require personal authorization before approving any credit application. If you believe you are a victim of identity theft, immediately file a police report and notify the Federal Trade Commission via identitytheft.gov Request to block electronic access to Social Security, which you can learn more about via https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10220.pdf   www.intellius.com is a site where you can find out criminal records, addresses, family members, liens and more information about people. Report, block and delete are the steps for comments from scammers! Notify, report fake profiles and tell friends are steps for fake profiles! KEY TAKEAWAYS In hacks some or all of your information can be stolen: you name, your social security number, maybe the names of your relatives, where you live. This stuff can be taken and sold on the Dark Web where people can take your identity and open up credit cards in your name and all kinds of shenanigans. People could try to get access to the titles of properties that you own, shut off your utilities or open their own all in your name. The prospects are frightening. Sometimes people will have part of your information that they've bought off the dark web and then they're going to ‘data mine' you for the rest of it. They could ‘encounter' you on a dating website and ask for the names of your relatives or pets for passwords. You need to be aware that these things (data mining on dating sites and identity theft in other areas) are connected, these things are often done by the same people or sold between each other on the Dark Web. If you think you've been a victim of identity theft, you should immediately file a police report and notify the Federal Trade Commission. You can also request to block electronic access to social security. One of the benefits of social media is staying connected with people, which is great for networking, business, maintaining emotional connections, or finding people you knew back in high school and learning. But, the downside is if something goes wrong all those people that you're friends with could be affected too. A hacker could get into your account and send friend requests to all of your friends, these people could accidentally give access to that hacker who could then take their information of try to con them. You don't want to be the gateway. So, change your password straight away and post that you've been hacked (make sure to click on the 3 dots and make sure it's set to friends only to see this post. If it's set to public scamming bots contact you with links to tell your how to fix it but actually lead you to sites that can mine your data.   BEST MOMENTS “Monitor your credit reports with credit agencies and dispute any mistakes you come across.”“Putting a fraud alert on your account with one agency will automatically alert the others. A fraud alert tells creditors to contact you before opening any new accounts or making changes to existing accounts.”“Have you ever looked at how much you can find out about somebody online? It's terrifying.”“Report, block, then delete hacker comments on Facebook.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

In this episode Ariel is joined by Christine Mullaney about courage, opening up, changing, trusting, and self discovery. KEY TAKEAWAYS My journey with courage started when I was very young, but it became a key theme in my life at 17 when I had my first shamanic experience to cure a recurring problem with my throat. I met my first spirit guide, a wolf, who came to me for courage. But I'd say I've had to be courageous for much of my life, I've had a variety of experiences some of which have tried to knock me down or back. My TEDx talk came 6 months after leaving a narcissistically abusive relationship I'd been in for around 6 years. I in no way put all of what happened on him, he had his own life experience and was who he was because of his life experiences and I certainly didn't behave in ways that necessarily helped it. That's been my most recent healing journey. Part of coming back was the recognition that I had been a very strong, very confident, very open woman before that relationship and she wasn't gone, she'd just gone a different route before meandering back to the road that she wanted to be on. It's a spiral: We experience these things in life and we move through the spiral and each time we come out at a higher level of frequency. Maybe we need to repeat things again, each of my last three relationships had similar patterns – different kinds of addictive substances, abuse in some sort of form, but all centring back into the lived experience I had as a child. But, each time I came out of these relationships at a higher level of frequency, until l got to the point where I realised I could leave that spiral. I wanted to pitch the ripple effect of vulnerability to everybody through my TEDx talk because when we share our stories we create a ripple effect that helps other people have the courage to share theirs. BEST MOMENTS“I can choose to let life knock me down, and knock me back, and keep me where I am, or I can say ‘I'm going to face this, step forwards and through it, and come out the other side however I come out'.”“It's important to share your story, to be able to stand in your own power with respect to those around you and share from your truth.”“People talk about ‘the comfort zone', for me it's not really a comfort zone, it's a place where we're used to things happening and that's our normality.”“The meaning of courage is ‘heart', that's the etymology of it.” ABOUT THE GUESTChristine Mullaney is a nature-loving wanderer and adventurer by weekend and brain-based communication, public speaking and presentation skills coach on weekdays.  Her life task is to empower and enlighten through education.

In this episode Ariel is joined by Dr Erica Wood about what naturopathy actually is and all the ways it can help you.Always ask your doctor before taking anyone's advice.A Naturopathic Doctor has graduated from a naturopathic medical school and often a multi-year residency, as compared to a Naturopath, who does an online, much shorter course of study.Dr Erica's Tips: Fresh air and morning sunlight to set sleep/wake cycle Fresh water: 10 oz. of water before you walk out the door, and half your body weight in ounces a day Protein: 5 servings of palm-size a day.  The "high five." 3 meals and 2 snacks. Movement and breathing. Taking 4 deep breaths in, exhale for 6 counts. Sleep: the best thing you can do. KEY TAKEAWAYS Naturopathy basically uses nature as medicine to try to find the root cause of what's going on. There are 7 principles of naturopathic medicine: The V (the healing power of nature), identify and treat the cause, doctor as teacher, treating the whole person, prevention, the power of medical literature, the power of research and how it can help our profession. I see patients from 3 days old up to 100 and we treat everything from gut dysbiosis to mood to PMS to perimenopause to ADHD, it all blends together, you don't treat one disease you treat the whole person. In Covid a lot of people got really focussed on their health because they were locked inside and what else was there to do but focus on your health? People were afraid of getting Covid so they realised the power of prevention and things they could do to lower their co-morbidities (other diseases that could lower our chances of worst-case-scenarios). If you have heartburn I don't prescribe you medicine, I take a look at how your gut is, how your flora is (the good-for-you bacteria in your gut), maybe take a look at your stress levels, or even look at food sensitivities to see if something is really aggravating you. Perimenopause is one of my favourite times to work with a woman. The medical field doesn't really recognise the perimenopause. We take a look at a lot of different things like sometimes its stress and our adrenal response which is causing hot flushes and weight gain because the adrenals were never happy to begin with, so by treating them the transition can be easier.  BEST MOMENTS“We understand that the natural world is assisting the healing process and we use what we can in nature to help that along.”“Telehealth has made it possible where I can treat anyone in Washington State.”“A good primary care provider knows what's in their realm and what's not in their realm.”“I always recommend patients to get up, go outside in the morning – regardless of how cold it is – take 5 deep breaths of fresh air and have morning sunlight.” ABOUT THE GUESTDr Erica Wood is a Naturopathic Doctor who specialises in primary care.  Her focus is on pediatrics and women's health.  She sees patients of all ages, genders and stages of their lives.  She uses integrative care to approach everyone's health needs as individuals, not their symptoms and works to find root causes of concerns.  Dr Wood works at the Naturopathic Clinic of IssaquahSocials:Instagram: @DrEricaWoodFacebook: @EricaWoodND ABOUT THE HOSTAriel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

On this episode, Ariel is joined by Kane Baron, one of Ariel's podcasting mentors, who teaches us about the many ways you can use podcasting to connect with people and grow your business. It's also a great tool for learning how to express yourself and just reaching the world with your own amazing message. KEY TAKEAWAYS This wasn't the plan, from a kid I planned to go into law, I did all my exams and got a law degree. But, during university I was always trying to find ways of making more money and I got into marketing for shops and cafes on social media to try and get them more business. I was an avid podcast listener though because they helped my revise. I worked in a coffee shop for the years I was at uni and every morning a guy called Rob Moore would come in, he had a range of nice cars, so I started giving him extra customer service and asked him about his businesses and his creative outlets like his podcast interviewing well known people. By the end of my second year I decided law wasn't for me. I DM'd Rob on Instagram to ask how we could work together and he took me up on it. We're not focussed on FTSE500 companies, a lot of other podcast agencies are very specific about the content and the people they work with and it's almost impossible to get picked up by these agencies – mostly, it's gatekept for celebrities. Our agency is for independent creators. The more niche and weird and wonderful your content is the more we want to work with you. There are millions and millions of people creating content every day across social media, it's very saturated and is very hard to stand out. The last few years the length of content has got shorter and shorter and is more about how it's edited and what tags and captions are used to hook you in for those few seconds, they're less bothered about giving value. That's great if all you care about is views, that's just vanity. If you care about impacting people, having important discussions, getting more business/leads for your company then you content marketing needs to focus on providing way more value for people. If you've got 100 people listening to you speak for 60 minutes every single week for a year, most people don't talk to their friends and family as much as they've listened to you over that year. If I've got a product that's worth a few grand or you're in a lucrative niche you don't need a million listeners, 100 is more than enough.   BEST MOMENTS “Shoot your shot. If you don't ask you don't get.”“It makes our days more interesting to work with a breadth of people, not people who have already got millions of followers or a PR company funding their campaign.”“A lot of the time, independent creators have got much better stories or more experience and that's much more valuable.”“It's our job to get you out there so people know who you are so that they'll care about your message.” ABOUT THE GUEST Kane Baron received a law degree but then pivoted to become the lead trainer at the UK's largest Podcast training company as well as head of growth at Progressive media, a podcast agency specializing in helping independent creators monetize their message.
