Podcast appearances and mentions of adriana rizzolo

In this powerful and soul-stirring conversation, I sit down with Adriana Rizzolo‬, a somatic healer, oracle, artist, adult sex educator, and Trance Dance Guide, to explore the raw, mystical, and transformative journey of healing, embodiment, and spiritual awakening. Adriana is the founder of Body Temple Church and the creator of Body Temple Dance, a ritual trance space where grief, rage, and ecstasy are transmuted into aliveness through prayer, performance, and intuitive movement. With vulnerability and fire, she shares her lived experience of walking the path of mysticism, from the streets of New Jersey to the sacred lands of the South of France, reclaiming the body as a temple and the earth as a guide. We dive into themes of birth and rebirth, the dark night of the soul, and the integration of trauma as a sacred passage. Adriana speaks to the ecstatic, the erotic, and the shadow, illuminating the creative force that emerges when we embrace both pain and joy.  We talk about ancestral healing, the journey of sexual awakening, and the importance of surrendering to the unknown as a portal into deeper presence and truth. This episode holds medicine for mystics, seekers, and anyone who has moved through great transformation and is learning how to live from that place. So make a cup of tea, find a quiet space, and join us in this potent conversation. It's tender, wild, and full of deep remembering. Discover Adriana's work below ❤️‍

Welcome to this Gemini Season episode of Cosmic Cousins, where we explore: Mutable Air, Mercury, and reflect on the major transits shaping this season: Jupiter in Gemini, and Uranus preparing to follow. We also honor the starry presence of the Pleiades at 29º Taurus and 0º Gemini, and consider what it means to have Hygeia, asteroid of holistic healing, moving through Gemini now. Stay tuned for a guided meditation to align your breath and awareness with Gemini's essence, and an embodied reflection on the shoulders, hands, arms, and lungs—Gemini's body parts. . Then, the second half of the episode, enjoy a conversation with Adriana Rizzolo and me, Jeff Hinshaw. In our conversation we talk about...

Sagittarius New Moon blessings. Now is a time to quiet and reflect on life through the lens of this Transpersonal Collective Fire Sign. One way to do this is by connecting to Sagittarius' esoteric ruling planet – the Earth. This is not to be confused with the element of Earth, but rather the Planet as a whole. This encourages us to ask... how might we be of better service to our planet and her inhabitants? On this week's podcast episode, enjoy a new song by my friend Drew Daniels.  Located on the Big Island of Hawai'i, poetic punk folk reggae soul singer Drew Daniels shares his truth in his new single 'United States of Consciousness' exploring many Sagittarius themes: building bridges between religions of the world through fiery activism and the pursuit of a uniting Truth.  I hope it inspires you in that Sagittarius way.   In addition, on this weeks' podcast episode, in honor of the Sagittarius New Moon, we are joined in conversation with brilliant Sagittarius Rising Giulio Pellegrini – a Los Angeles-based astrologer specializing in esoteric, psychological, and evolutionary astrology.  A prominent lecturer, he's presented at major conferences and academic institutions like the Northwest Astrological Conference.  In addition, Giulio is the Publications Director for OPA's Evolving Astrologer Magazine.

There is a tremendous amount of soul-growth occurring at this time. With the Sun, Chiron, Jupiter, Eris and Vesta all in Aries, we each are on an individual journey of deep healing. This Libra Full Moon is here to balance it all.  Libra is here to remind you that you don't have to do this alone. Aries' spiritual evolution unfolds through the interplay of Libra's interpersonal dynamics.  Relationships are of primary importance. How have you been connecting and collaborating with others this Aries season? Libra wants to help us evolve out of materialism and into a deeper understanding of life's meaning.  Libra offers us the grace to be decisive and calm in times of crisis. Libra reminds us the wisdom of resting, taking time to appreciate the beauty of nature, to ponder problem-solutions while relaxing and creating art. Libra acts as the balance between understanding and action. Life requires us to make decisions. At the same time each decision, once made, can not be taken back. Libra is connected to the Justice card in the tarot and encourages us to align with a greater Uniting Truth (Sword) while finding a sacred balance between contradictions (the scales). Libra in its highest uses the power of communication to advocate for the improvement of society through equality, social justice, and inclusion.   Libra Affirmation:  I choose to focus on what connects us, not on what separates us.   ♎ Libra Full Moon Wednesday, April 5, 2023 9:43 pm PST 16º Libra Body Parts: Lower-back, Kidneys, Adrenal Glands Libra Esoteric Phrase:  I choose the way that leads between the two great lines of force.

The word "Love" is used so ubiquitously, it almost feels flippant when we go deep and feel what it truly means. I mean, there are 96 words for "Love" in Sanskrit, and only one in English. That's 96 flavors of Love! And really, there's as many types of love as there are things and people to love. Its infinite. And yet, at the root of all of it... no matter how many words there are or are not... for me, Love is always an embodiment of the Divine, of Source, of God. It is presence with whatever is happening in any given moment with trust. And we can apply that intention to any relationship. On this episode, I embarked on a deeply profound conversation with Adriana Rizzolo, a raw, real, and gorgeously love-filled human. Adriana is founder of Body Temple, a spiritual mentor, somatic healer, sex educator for women, trans* and non binary folks, grief and aliveness doula, and a Tantric meditation, energy healing and embodied movement facilitator. In addition to waxing sexy and wholesome about love, we also went incredibly deep about the body as our temple, worshiping the Mother of God, and co-creation as both our current reality and how we envision the paradigm shift happening right now. Adriana has the power to blast your heart and your mind wide open. Can't wait to share her with you...

Last week I jumped on instagram to join Adriana (@artofloving / www.instagram.com/artofloving) for a live discussion on the topics of Decolonisation and its importance and pertinence in the wellness space. Together we explore the negative consequences of colonisation throughout history and how it shows up now, what it means for us and why it is important that we make an effort to encourage and support decolonisation throughout our personal, individual, daily and work lives. I speak through my experience of what brought me to recognise the need to address this ongoing current issue and how we can take action.

The wound is the way! Adriana has been working with her grief and her wounds as a means to living full power 24 hour. Once Adriana starts she just oozes wisdom. This episode is not for the timid, as we get right into Adrianas work, which is the opposite of avoidance. And at the same time, Adriana has a beautiful way to catch us(you), like a lover about to fall over after a wild dance party, and be with us(you) just as you are; broken, beautiful, complete, and a work in progress. This episode is not to be missed! You can find Adriana's work at: https://www.theloverecovery.com And her wildly popular Instagram account @artofloving

Adriana of @artofloving is a multimodal healer, energy worker, and embodiment facilitator who has traveled, studied and taught worldwide. Today she joins Mercurial Musings to discuss alchemizing pain into healing on the journey of self understanding and love. 

Join us this week with spiritual teacher, author & artist David Harshada Wagner.  In this episode, David and Adriana Rizzolo celebrate and relate this Full Moon in Aries season to today's overwhelmed society, the f**kery of leadership seen today, and how this all can actually relate and be addressed in learning and delving deeper into the Bhagavad Gita.   Things that are brought up in this conversation: Why the Bhagavad Gita is the most "seminal texts" of the Indian-Hindu traditions and how it relates and shines light on today's climate.    Leadership & F**kery.  How these times of watching our leaderships fail is causing an overwhelming feeling of disempowerment as citizens are unsure of what they can do during these times.    "What is our Good Fight to be Fighting Right now?" Taking the idea of "fighting a good fight" internally: of finding your individual purpose and then confronting your inner enemies. Dharma and Swadharma: the importance of knowing your purpose right now.  Knowing that if we don't decide, others out there are more than willing to try and find that for you.   Warrior Consciousness.  A willingness to not be guided by fear.  Learning to let go of the hate and anger surrounded in fear and using these instead to guide you to address your inner enemies.   To find out more about David's upcoming 9 week program, The Gita Course: Deep Support for Challenging Times, you can visit David's website at: http://davidhwagner.com/events/the-gita-course/ For more ways to follow David and his offerings, follow him on his instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/davidhwagner/   To follow more of Adriana's offerings and to join her upcoming events and workshops you can follow her at: https://www.instagram.com/artofloving/ Or over at her website: https://www.theloverecovery.com/

Things that are brought up in this conversation: How the act of service can bring us to a truer sense of who we actually are-in purpose, spirituality + passion.   Angela's journey of discovering how to create cultural bridges as a Latina, Columbia-born immigrant in the U.S.   How art has become an form of activism: a way to remind and wake-up our communities to what is truly going on within our systems of government and societies.  That ART can be a way of speaking up and out!

Join us this week with astrologer and poet, Heidi Rose Robbins, as she visits the Soul Crush podcast once again to discuss and explore the realm of the soul’s purpose with Adriana Rizzolo.   In this episode Heidi and Adriana discuss: How astrology can underline and pinpoint what each of our soul’s purpose + habitual patterns in this life are.   How to be generous in our services in our soul's purpose AND also generous to ourselves within the moon-patterned moments.   What we can discover in our rising sign + moon position in our birth charts, and how to use this to the fullest advantage of self-information for our plans in life.   Learning tools and articulation of how to express the energy of our birth charts and discovery of our innate talents.    Developing a sense of humor in the reflection of our “moon-to-the-rising sign patterns” and continued cycles that may seem to hinder our destination in life.    Being kind and soft to ourselves and others.    Heidi Rose Robbins will be a guest teacher in the next Wounded Healer Training: Sexuality, Service, Self-Love + The Stars. Staring September 22nd.   In this 8-week series we will be journeying down through the chakra system to move from Spirit and then embracing our intuitive nature.  That we may solidify our service in this world.   We will learn healing practices with guest teachers in Tantra, Esoteric Astrology, third-eye intuition, sound healing, and more throughout this course.    For more information, visit www.theloverecovery.com in our store, or you can follow Adriana via IG: @artofloving   For more information of Heidi’s offerings, please visit her website at: www.heidirose.com

Her school 'The Power of Love' is inspired by the Indian wisdom mystical tradition of non-dual Tantra and Bhakti Yoga, has devoted the last 15 years to constantly seeking what God is and means to her, and is most recently inspired by the true teachings of Christ and the path of radical compassion and living spirit. Her playful, fun approach to spirituality makes it easy for all people to connect to their birthright to know pleasure, beauty and with the courage and passion to serve the world. She approaches all teachings through the lense of the feminine— one of INCLUSIVENESS, relatedness and interconnection between all things. Music and devotional worship and ritual play a huge part in her life and offerings.Adriana has trained, taught and studied in traditional kundalini, kundalini by yogi Bhajan, Anusara yoga, Iyengar, vinyasa, and restorative, kashmir shaivism and vedantic philosophy. She holds a non-judgemental space for sobriety having gotten sober 7 1/2 years ago as part of learning how to live her truth. She believes in the fierceness of the tender heart and it's potential to heal and how much compassion is found in our service and human suffering. Join us as we dive into The Art of Loving.I hope you enjoy!Support the show (https://stuartwatkins.org/podcast/)

First up on this sensual Taurus episode, we have a mini intro to understanding Taurus. But because the Scorpio Full Moon is this week, on Sunday, April 29, we mainly will be exploring how Scorpio is a polar energy to Taurus. We talk about what the full moon invites us into over the coming week. And focus on the soul-centered aspect of the balance between Taurus and Scorpio.    Then, we honor the great legend, Barbra Streisand, Taurus Sun, who's birthday is on April 24. We cover Taurus Sun, Aries Rising, and Venus in Pisces in the 12th House.     And then to round this sensual episode off, we get a chance to talk to Adriana Rizzolo.  In our heart-felt conversation, Adriana explains how being a Taurus has been a painful and pleasurable well-worth journey of coming back home to her body. It’s also a convo very in alignment with the energy of the Scorpio Full Moon, including: shadow work, deep transformation through sexuality, sobriety, and healing her relationship with her father after his death.    Again as always, I am a soul-centered astrologer, and I offer readings and private lessons. You can find out this information on my website at astrologycousins.com   Thank you for being here as always. Now let’s tune in1
