Ep. 124. In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the essence of the Ancient Mother with the incredible Bunny Blash. Together, we explore the profound impact of motherhood, both literal and spiritual, and how it shapes healing, intuition, and ancestral connection. Bunny shares insights on ancestral healing and honouring those who came before us through sacred practices. We discuss healing mother wounds, and how they manifest across generations; we also discuss intuition as a sacred gift, ways to refine it, and the deep connection between the body, spirit, and nature.✨ Key Topics:The Ancient Mother & Her Influence (02:20)Motherhood as a Path of Transformation (07:32)Healing & Honoring Ancestral Lineages (12:29)Sacred Practices: Altars, Offerings & Connection (29:49)Intuition: Discovering, Refining & Strengthening Gifts (38:30)The Role of Nature in Healing & Spiritual Growth (51:05)Lessons & Reflections from the Healing Journey (59:46)If you're called to deepen your ancestral connection, embrace your intuition, or simply explore the sacred bond between body, spirit, and the Earth, this episode is for you.

Welcome to the light between podcast. Every soul's energetic anatomy is formed and shaped in our outer reality as we age. Today, we focus on the lower primal chakra's, their connection to being grounded in this time of transition, and the vital connection between our inner selves and the vastness of the messages that come from what I call "Ancient Mother." This transmission comes from a Akashic Reading Meditation to lift us all In this global transformation to find stability and peace which always begins with grounding ourselves to the roots that bind us to the natural world.Imagine for a moment that we are microcosms of the Earth, each of us composed of the same elemental forces that shape our planet—fire, earth, air, and water. These elements don't just exist around us; they flow within us, influencing our thoughts, emotions, inspirations, and our very sense of being. Just as the tides ebb and flow, or storms gather on the horizon, these elements shift within us, creating a dynamic internal landscape that mirrors the external world.Our journey today delves into the Earth element, the foundation that offers us stability and a sense of peace. To understand this, we must first recognize that we are intrinsically connected to nature. Our bodies, minds, and souls resonate with the rhythms and laws of the natural world. When we stray from these rhythms, an innate response seeks to realign us, restoring balance within our inner ecosystems.Consider the notion of initiation—not as a daunting trial, but as an opportunity for growth and transformation. These initiations challenge the illusions that keep us feeling isolated from the world around us. They invite us to dismantle the barriers of fear, outdated beliefs, and emotional narratives that suggest we exist separately from humanity and the fabric of life itself. In truth, what affects one of us resonates through the collective whole. Embracing this interconnectedness shifts our perspective from feeling protected by separation to feeling empowered by connection.Life, at its core, is a spiritual path with a singular goal: to become one with Truth. This clarity allows us to act with integrity and embrace change without fear. Often, our resistance to change stems from a desire to cling to illusions where nothing new can disrupt our carefully constructed plans. Yet, every initiation presents a chance to peel away these layers, revealing the authenticity of who we are when free from fear.Grounding ourselves to the Earth is not merely a metaphor but a tangible practice that influences our personal and spiritual ecology. By nurturing this bond, we not only enhance our individual well-being but also contribute to the collective harmony of our planet. Imagine the Earth as a living entity, where each of us plays a part in maintaining its balance and health.Let's explore the essence of our relationship with nature. We are attuned to the flow of the tides within us and can sense the approach of storms long before they hit. This deep connection governs our actions and decisions, guiding us back when we stray. When we honor the rhythms of nature, we honor ourselves, finding safety and grounding in the very essence that sustains us.Roots are another vital aspect of this connection. Just as trees extend their roots deep into the earth, we too have an archetypal need to belong, to establish our place in the world. Roots symbolize our beginnings, our identities, and our connections to our ancestors and traditions. Without deep roots, we become wanderers, searching for a sense of belonging. Yet, even as nomads, we carry the essence of our roots within us, grounded by the tribe of our fellow travelers and the legacy of our traditions.In the dance between order and chaos, we find another layer of our relationship with the Earth. Life's cycles are constant, and embracing this ebb and flow allows us to navigate change with grace. Striving for excessive control only generates chaos, as nature inevitably asserts its course. Learning to flow with these cycles, rather than fight against them, brings harmony and prevents the catastrophic outcomes that arise from resistance.Finally, we come to the unmovable forces—the immutable laws of nature that mirror the divine. These laws are consistent and absolute, ensuring that every action has a consequence. Understanding and trusting these laws helps us navigate life's darkest nights, knowing that balance will ultimately be restored. In this trust, prayer becomes an intimate dialogue with the universe, aligning our personal journeys with the divine rhythm of existence.As we journey through these initiations by Earth, we uncover the layers that connect us to the planet and to each other. We learn to embrace our roots, flow with life's rhythms, and honor the unmovable forces that guide us. This exploration is not just about understanding; it's about embodying the harmony and peace that come from being deeply grounded in who we are and where we belong.Thank you for joining me on this exploration beloved. May you find stability and peace as you reconnect with the roots and rhythms of Mother Earth, navigating the beautiful transformation of our shared journey.

Gaea Star Crystal #553 is an hour of improvised, visionary acoustic music recorded live by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, acoustic guitar, Celtic harp, ukulele, Native flute and mandolin, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drum and congas.  Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington Massachusetts in November of 2023, today's show begins with a series of unique musical snippets recorded to be included in Mariam's upcoming audiobook “Gaea Star Crystal: Awakening The Tribes Of Light”.  “Star Of Water” and “Heya Heya Hey” are drifting tone poems and “Ancient Mother” is a pretty, reverent minor key medicine song.  Returning to regular long-form songs for today's show, “Amsinia” is a rich ballad with lovely Native flute and vocal work from Mariam and “Grateful” is a powerful mélange of Native and modern sounds that showcases a powerful vocal from Mariam and vibrant, shifting minimalist piano from Bob.  “Underneath It All” is a deep minor prayer with fine ensemble work from the whole band supporting Mariam's languid vocal; Craig's steady, mellow congas, Bob's aching minor cadences and Mariam's spot-on acoustic rhythm guitar strumming.  “Underneath It All Part 2 (Let's Become Excited) continues with a delicate, shaded B minor and more lyrical word play from Mariam.  “Grateful For Peace” is a highlight today, a sky-wide, rousing gospel song that begins with a simple framework of mandolin from Mariam, fundamental Native drum from Craig and a piano figure from Bob that recalls classic gospel, then grows patiently into a full-throated epic supporting Mariam's powerful vocal.  We close today with the impressionistic, appropriately drifting “Water”, a mystical musical puzzle in praise of the almighty H2O.

Through thick and thin and highs and lows, One thing remains crystal clear. I need to investigate, research, and dig, For the truth I hold so dear. So yes, this is a time of chaos. Mercury, who rules both the grounded sign of Virgo and Gemini (who rules commerce), is strong as he stations direct in his own sign of Virgo. Neptune, the king of mystery, chaos, and the media is also in his home sign of Pisces, the collective unconscious. These two initially faced off with each other in late August and are back to finish what they started then. Ideally, this is ending illusions and delusions as we become conscious of what is real and what is fiction, what is true and what is false. This can be difficult, often leading to depression as Neptune dreams bump into 3D Mercury reality. Worse than that can be the continued propagation of false realities, lies, and deception. This can be us deceiving ourselves about our true motivations, desires, and more, but it is also MSM (Main Stream Media) casting its hypnotic spell on the masses. Therefore, it is a time to watch our words, listen carefully, and not take everything we see and hear in without discernment. Hence the mantra. To understand better what I am referring to, I have two offerings for you today. One is a video by Sorelle of Abundantia, who I've been following for some time and highly respect. https://youtu.be/DpE5cBgl11U The other is an article discussing the recent presidential order I discussed in today's report: https://bit.ly/3SkSajC I highly recommend both to help stay abreast of our world situation and the unfolding future. After the heavy stuff, you may just want to Roll Down the River with Ike and Tina! https://youtu.be/hzQnPz6TpGc And then, listen to the real reality of the Ancient Mother: https://youtu.be/6rYw8C8GhlY So Much Love, Kaypacha https://newparadigmastrology.com/ I share a lot more in my weekly newsletters.

What it's All About:Another Middle Eastern form of paganism. It is somewhat similar to Mesopotamian paganism. Much like the Romans borrowed the Greek gods from the Greeks, Mesopotamia borrowed from tribes like the Sumerians. I will discuss some interesting facts about the ancient Sumerians and how this pantheon can be incorporated into modern paganism. The Spirit Guide of the Week is Ereshkigal.

TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of emotional abuse. Life is funny, you just never know what you will uncover about yourself and other people.  It was a beautiful sunny day, and I was giving Akashic Record readings at Starborn's Psychic Faire. I checked my email during a break in between clients and lo and behold a strange email from an even stranger phone number.  Turns out, it was from an ex. I have not discussed this past relationship on the podcast because the trauma from that relationship doesn't show up in my day-to-day and I am so far removed from that previous relationship.  But what I realized after my self-Akashic Reading, was the trauma does come up when I watch that ex walk around the back of my building, confidently calling for my cats.  This is why I never told him to leave on numerous occasions when I saw him through my kitchen window. The sub-text is, it's not really about the cats. Also, it's about boundaries. I decided to open the Akashic Records of Ancient Mother on a whim to ponder if I was being jaded after reading the note. I ended up receiving a beautiful healing from Ancient Mother and I uncovered that I was still traumatized from that emotionally abusive relationship. I also discovered I experience auditory premonitions from this experience, which is a bonus! Despite the topic, my energy is balanced and grounded, with just enough humor, a little bit of anger, and a lot of self-compassion. If you are suffering from any type of abuse from a parent, friend or partner, please visit: www.thehotline.org/get-help/domestic-violence-local-resources. Thanks for listening. Topics discussed: -An ex sent me a text via email and I checked my email while I was in between clients at the Psychic Faire at Starborn Wellness and Healing -Earlier that day while at home I thought I heard the ex make the whistling sound that he used to use when he would try to find Kashmir -We used to live together in the home I currently live in -I discuss the nature of the verbal and emotional abuse -Since our break-up, he has trespassed numerous times whenever he is in the area to visit “his” cats -I talk about why I never told him to leave when I saw him lurking around my building -When I read the note he sent, it just seemed disingenuous -I decided to access Ancient Mother's Akashic Record -I didn't realize until the reading that I was traumatized from the emotional abuse and that's why I didn't want to talk to him -I received healing from the reading by asking a particular question -So many layers of releasing and healing the trauma from an emotionally abusive relationship Resources mentioned: www.thehotline.org/get-help/domestic-violence-local-resources Psychic Faire at Starborn Healing Wellness and Dance Center starbornhealing.com, IG: @starbornwellness  FB: @starbornwellness Claire Blanc, Channel, Intuitive healing, Mediumship, Space Clearing IG: @Claire_blanc_art About the Hostess: Sharmila Mali, in case you didn't know, is a Self-Love Expert, intuitive healer, Reiki Master Teacher, Akashic Records Reader (in addition to being a podcaster) and for the past 15 years or so, most of her clients have been women, who want to get over their ex.

Before the first Mother's Day was established in the United States in 1914, as advocated by  Anna Jarvis,  a Unitarian woman by the name of Julia Ward Howe (yes, the woman who penned The Battle Hymn of the Republic) had introduced the idea of an international day of peace via a Mothers' Day proclamation approximately 36 years earlier.

Welcome back to Better Than Human, the Podcast. In this week's episodes, Jennifer recalls the harrowing tale of the time she fell off a horse. Humorous anecdote, or is it related to this week's topic?Speaking of our topic this week, it's the Caspian horse. Once prized by monarchs of the Persian empire, the Caspian were thought extinct until re-discovered by Louise Firouz in 1965 in Iran. Lost in time for centuries, the Caspian is believed to be the oldest domesticated horse species in the world and could have been lost to us again if not for the dedicated work of Firouz. Put on your weird hats, and get ready for another riveting episode. Note: Jennifer was 13 years off on the discover of the structure of DNA it was discovered in 1953, but was right that the first genetic tests for horses became available in the 1990s.Link to the article Amber was talking about :https://www.deccanherald.com/science-and-environment/coronavirus-even-animals-may-resort-to-physical-distancing-to-prevent-microbes-says-study-836263.htmlCheck out our website betterthanhumanpodcast.comFollow us on Twitter @betterthanhuma1on Facebook @betterthanhumanpodcaston Instagram @betterthanhumanpodcastEmail us at betterthanhumanpodcast@gmail.comWe look forward to hearing from you, and we look forward to you joining our cult of weirdness!#betterthanhuman #cultofweirdness

Joining me tonight is Melissa Crow, Wiccan, shaman, author and graduate cum laude from the University of Southern California with a BA in Creative Writing and a Masters in Library Science from San Jose State University discussing her research examining the images and myths of our European ancestors with particular emphasis on how and when patriarchy came to be.  We'll be "In Search of the Ancient Mother" tonight as we look at Goddess imagery and artifacts from the Neolithic to Classical eras, compare and interpret myths, and delve into why we have stories of rape, abduction and Goddesses who marry patriarchal Gods and become shadows of their former selves.  And of course, we'll explain why this is all so important to reshaping our culture and creating a new normal out in the world.

There's little preamble needed for this episode, other than that I hope you enjoy this little musical tribute to mothers of all shapes, types, sorts & sizes (and hopefully that you do so with your mother. :)) There is some blues and a mother-daughter song put in here to send a "hello" out to my own mother, but there are also songs about Mother Earth and other types of mothers, as every mama is special. ^_^ May all of you have a splendid Mother's Day, and a big "thank you" to all the mothers out there, as well as all the fantastic people (male & female) who've done their own shares (if not moreso) of mothering in my life. :)I Love you, Mom.Yours Forever in Song,DJ Selchie♥Track ListPaul and Storm - Mother's Day SongMean Gene Kelton and the Die Hards - Sweet Mother BluesLance Larson - Happy Mother's DayKevin Reeves - MotherEzra Thomas - Momma's Song (or the Mother's Day Song)Roscoe Chenier - A Mother's LoveOona McOuat - Ancient MotherKelly's Lot - Mothers and DaughtersThe Alice Project - Happy Mother's DayKiva - Go NowBeautiful Background Music by; Poitin - Hot DaysBand Name = Band Web Site, Song Name = MySpace Band Page.

For me, this piece not only honours my mother (as well as others I look up to) but also all of the sweet, strong, amazing & invaluable people who've helped shape me into being who I am; and who, in one way or another, have been mothers in my life. (Be they spiritual, familial, social, or otherwise.)Here's to the strong ladies; the role models past, present, and future! (Even if it's to be a matter of Self someday. ;)) From Mother Earth to the ants that traverse Her, thanks be to the Divine Feminine in all her Forms. ^_^Nanaby Siuox Patullo(From We'Moon 05, Mother Tongue Ink)It's hard to find the path now.Because I was following her.I was following her ways without knowingAnd now she is gone…Gone, with all her wisdom…No longer up ahead.No more silver streams of healing things she said.She can't tell me again.I have listened for the last time.Now I have to own it.Now I have to know it.Now I have to carry, and pass it on.Remember it.Look after it.She can't tell me again.It's hard to find the path now…But I must search amongst the roots.Because I know that…I can sense that…Someone is following me.Waiting for her wisdom.♥ ♥ ♥
