In Episode Six, Dave Reis speaks with internationally renowned, award-winning jazz musician and centenarian, Terry Gibbs, via Zoom from Australia! Terry Gibbs, was born Julius Gubenkon in 1924. The renowned American jazz vibraphonist and band leader is 101 years old! According to his Wikipedia page, Gibbs has performed or recorded with many of the greatest names in Jazz, including  Tommy Dorsey, Chubby Jackson, Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, Benny Goodman, Alice Coltrane, Louie Bellson, Charlie Shavers, Mel Tormé, and Buddy DeFranco to name just a few. "I am the oldest bebopper alive!” proclaims 93-year-old Terry Gibbs, according to an article in Jazz Times, "This forefather of the jazz vibraphone may well be right; age-wise he beats out his closest competitors, including Roy Haynes (92), Jimmy Heath (91), Lee Konitz (90) and Sheila Jordan (89). Certainly, few musicians of any age can top his ability to whip up a storm of excitement on his instrument." The Artist Index's jazz documentarian and Jazz Podcast Series host, Dave Reis, spent nearly 26 years as a Jazz radio show host, among his many other accomplishments. He was one of the original longtime DJs who worked at the former WUSM, which became radio station WUMD, 89.3 FM, on the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth campus. Dave Reis, AKA David Domingo Reis, began as our guest on In-Focus Podcast 154 and In-Focus Podcast 181. He returns once again as the host of our first-ever ten-part jazz podcast series underwritten by the Fiber Optic Center. There is no better host for this series than Dave Reis, a walking, talking jazz encyclopedia and local legend himself. Dave grew up surrounded by and hanging around with many of the jazz greats he will be presenting his ten-part Jazz Podcast Series underwritten by the Fiber Optic Center.

Melanie is the first woman to walk the Trans Canada Trail, the longest recreational trail in the world.  She walked from the Atlantic Ocean across and up to the Arctic Ocean, then down and over to the Pacific Ocean. Nearly 21,000 kilometers. Solo. Melanie's story is one of unexpected connections, harrowing experiences, brutal weather, stunning beauty, finding a soul mate, finding oneself, and the slow and emerging awareness of what it is to be human. We were spellbound by her story of letting go of fear, anxiety, and control that we carry in our daily lives, and emerging as her true self - more than she had ever felt before.

She walks us through their challenges, the critical edge they live on, and why we must save this iconic historical animal. AWHC believes "There Is A Better Way" to work with supporting and managing these beautiful and powerful animals through programs like their fertility control, or PZP (Porcine Zona Pellucida) the largest program of its kind in the world today. However, brutal and inhumane management via roundups by helicopter still remains the method of corralling the horses and burros, creating chaos, injury, extreme stress, and death. We also believe there is a better way. And we find out what that is, and what we owe these animals that long to live wild and free on our American landscape.Show Note Links:American Wild Horse CampaignEric Lundgren Study on BurrosThe Bureau of Land Management

Having witnessed what our dog Blue went through after losing his sister Pip, I was really interested in finding out how we all might support our beloved dogs better after losing what we all consider a pack or family member.  Will you need a tissue, maybe. But really, this is a positive, kind, and really sweet episode. The focus is on acknowledging in our dogs what we humans are also going through.

It was such a pleasure to dig deep into a subject that we could push back on, disagree on, learn about, and come away with a sense of being heard but maybe more importantly shift our perspectives and be open to all the grey that complicated stories can offer us.

We have been following the Rhino Orphanage since their foundation in 2012, so when we started this podcast they were immediately on our list!  The story of the Rhino Orphanage is one of great tragedy and great triumph.  It's a story of the moment you see a life hanging in the balance, and in an instant the course of your life changes.  This conversation is a testament to the power of love, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to the belief that we must help each other, humans and animals alike and that through action, time, and healing, we can all thrive and one day return to the life we once knew. Because of the Rhino Orphanage, baby rhinos are brought to a safe place and through the amazing veterinarian and carer teams, are given a second chance. It's a brutal transition when a baby rhino loses their mother to violence, and is often attacked themselves, but the Rhino team is there to nurture them back to health, both physically and mentally. The team at the Rhino Orphanage are the Heroes of our time.  They are the reason rhinos might have a chance. Deeply grateful for this conversation, and all that you do Yolandé!

How To Stop Resisting Your Intuitive Messages EP 140

Have you ever gotten messages from your Guides that repeated themselves over and over that you just couldn't make sense of logically. Today we're going to talk about how this exact situation is showing up in my life and what that is going to mean for the podcast.  Why We Resist Our Intuitive Messages  Most often we resist our messages due to ego.  Maybe we don't think it can possibly be the right guidance because it logically doesn't make sense and our ego doesn't want to not be in control.  Or maybe we just plain don't like what the message has to say.   What To Do When Your Intuitive Message Go Against Your Logic  What do you do when you “think” you are following the messages and guidance you are receiving yet you continue to get the same instruction from your Guides? You think how can this still be the message?  I'm already doing what you are telling me I need to do. This is where we need to get curious with our Guides.  We need to ask them those specific clarifying questions to get to the core of the message and stop second guessing that your interpretation is right.  Why It Is Important To Get Clear On Your No's  When you get clear energetically on the things you know are NOT in alignment, you can set healthy and reasonable boundaries that support the messages you are receiving. Remember no doesn't have to mean never, it can mean just not right now. Just because it's not a match energetically right now you can ask your Guides to provide this type of opportunity again when your energy is refilled and you are closer vibrationally to the possibilities it might hold.  Ways To Stop Resisting Your Messages  One of the best things you can do if you feel resistance to a certain message is to slow down.  Allow that message to fully come in. Stop trying to fill in the blanks and force it to make sense in your current scenarios. Slow down, back up from it and let the message “simmer” for a while without expectation of how it will resolve. Resistance comes from the feeling of lack of control.  When you consciously release the need to control, usually the parts and pieces of the message you are resisting are able to come up to the surface.   When you are truly following your intuitive messages you are always on the right path. It may not make sense today, but future you will see how everything came together in Divine order and timing.  Here's to staying Spiritual and Ambitious.    LINKS:  Book Your Psychic Medium, Oracle, or Chakra Reading Here  Enroll in Whitney's 4 Intuitive Languages® Program  Whitney's Oracle Deck  Whitney's Meditation Library  Join Our Email List  Review This Podcast  Whitney's Instagram    ** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts ** Please consider rating and reviewing my show, Spiritual and Ambitious!

We are all spiritual beings having a human experience. That means we go through certain cycles. Today we talk to Michelle Leigh about what is collectively coming through to be released right now and the 3 most commonly blocked chakras.  How To Know Reiki Is Working When You're Analytical  This comes down to the mind-body connection. How you speak to yourself and how you think go a long way into “feeling” this work energetically outside of the logical mind. You also can't deny the outcomes that you experience.   What the 7 Chakras Are and Their Purpose  Chakra is the Sanskrit word for wheel or circle and represents the spinning energy centers in the body (or chakras).  We have 7 of these main energy centers located in the human body. The Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye and Crown.  Michelle goes on to explain where these are located and what aspects each one governs.  The 3 Most Commonly Block Chakras  Michelle shares the “Trifecta” of issues she is currently seeing being collectively expressed in her clients. Recently she is seeing the same trinity of chakras being affected as a group. She believes the collective experience of childhood trauma and certain societal pressures have played a part in the systematic blockage of these same chakras in much of the population.  How Often to Get a Reiki or Chakra Balancing Session  Michelle provides her perspective on the frequency of sessions, but emphasizes that consistent personal energetic hygiene is critical. Checking in periodically checking in with your body to see if you are feeling heavy or stagnant in any particular area. Grounding and clearing rituals can help alleviate these symptoms in between energetic sessions.  Symptoms of a Blocked Chakra and How to Unblock It  Michelle gives some very specific methods you can use to determine if you have a block and where the block might be depending on the symptom itself.  For instance, sometimes if you feel more clumsy or off balance than usual there may be an energetic mis-balance in your root chakra system (barring any specific medical intervention needed of course).  What to Expect During a Chakra Balancing Session  The most important part of any energy session is connection. We need to establish the connection about what you are experiencing and what you believe you want to work on. You may also experience some buzzing or tingling sessions as you begin to experience the Reiki energy flowing through your system. There may also be some intuitive messages from your Spirit Guides that come through.  Each experience is unique to the individual and what it is their system requires at that time.  Regardless of what your energy system requires right now, we hope you connect in and ground. Maintain your energy in whatever method is optimal for you.   And here's to staying Spiritual and Ambitious.  LINKS:  1 Hour Chakra Reading & Balancing Session with Michelle  Book Your Reading Here  Enroll in Whitney's 4 Intuitive Languages® Program  Whitney's Oracle Deck  Review This Podcast  Whitney's Instagram ** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts ** Please consider rating and reviewing my show, Spiritual and Ambitious!

Do you ever wonder if you meditate correctly or do you fall asleep during meditations? Maybe you don't think you're cut out for meditation, even if it's something you want to do. So let's talk about the top questions and concerns around developing a meditative practice.  The Benefits of Mediation if Your Fall Asleep  There is no specific benefit. But there also is no detriment!! Falling asleep is just your body getting into its most receptive state. It allows you to just experience the meditation while releasing control and expectation.  What Happens When You Cannot Follow Along or “Black Out” During the Guided Meditation  Many people think if they lose focus and “miss” a section (or almost all) of a guided meditation that they are doing something wrong.  Actually it is just the opposite. Typically this is an indication that you went deep into trance or were working directly with your Guides in some other deep way.  What To Do If You Cannot Be Still During Your Meditation  Sometimes we are in such a state of constant motion that our minds and bodies seem to no longer understand “be still”. Sometimes it is as simple as giving yourself permission to “stop” for a period of time to make enough space for a little relaxation to set in. Our ego thinks it needs to be in control during this time when this is the perfect time for it to take a break.  Why You Might Resist Meditation   You might feel like you “resist” meditation if you get your messages through your body like the channeler. It would be important to expend some energy before trying to meditate so you can get into a mindful state. Fear of what you'll see or that you'll do it wrong can also be reasons why you might feel   How To Know If Your Meditation Is Working  For one you will start noticing areas in your life shifting into a higher vibration or experience an energetic shift. By the sheer effort of the practice you may also notice your intuition getting stronger. Some meditations are meant to release blocks so you may experience some form of release.  No matter how you choose to meditate, just know you can't do it wrong and how ever you do it is what is just right for you.  Here's to staying Spiritual and Ambitious.  LINKS:  Whitney's 20 meditations  Book Your Reading Here  Enroll in Whitney's 4 Intuitive Languages® Program  Whitney's Oracle Deck  Review This Podcast  Whitney's Instagram    ** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts ** Please consider rating and reviewing my show, Spiritual and Ambitious!

Pluto has had a long stent in Capricorn. As Pluto makes this transition there will be a lot of cycles that are closing out.  Here Cole shares exactly how you can expect the energy of this retrograde to show up.  The Energy of Jupiter in Gemini (May 25)  As Jupiter enters Gemini for the first time in 12 years it moves from the more steadfast energy of Taurus into the more fluid energy of Gemini. Again he shares some of the results you can look for due to this particular energy shift.    Using New & Full Moon Energy in May 2024  Cole talks about the new and full moon phases of May. He says these times will feel very celebratory and welcoming.

Forthright communication will be for our best benefit during this time.  Who We Attract Based On Our Astrology Chart  Cole gives his perspective on how our planetary placements can affect the type of people we attract and connect most with.

You know that feeling when you know an intuitive message is right there, but you just can't get it to come through clearly.  Does this mean that you need to work more on your intuition and connection? Or is it just time to get a psychic reading to get over that hurdle? So, let's look at it and see if now is the time for a reading.  When NOT To Get A Psychic Medium Reading  To decide if a reading would be of benefit it's important to look at the reasons you feel you need it. If you have too much invested in a certain outcome or a certain answer you will not be open to what spirit has to say so the reading is essentially pointless. It is best to be in a neutral frame of mind and open when you meet with a reader.  The Best Times To Get A Psychic Medium Reading  Often it is most beneficial to get a reading around the time of some type of celebration. Your loved ones will already be closer at that time. Getting a reading may also be a way to clarify and get more detail on a message that you've already received from your Guides.   How To Choose A Psychic Medium  It's best to choose a medium in the same ways you'd verify any other purchase. Does the recommendation or advert come from a place or source that you trust? What is your gut feeling about the specific person or situation? All those same validation methods hold true when you are looking for a medium to   Tips To Make The Most of Your Psychic Medium Reading  As always, speak your intentions for the readings to your Spirit Guides and loved ones ahead of time. This gives spirit time to prepare information for the things that are most important to you. Also make sure you choose the reader whose methods best match with what you are looking to receive.  If you absolutely want to connect with loved ones on the other side, you definitely need a true psychic medium.  If you are more interested in guidance, direction, and clarity on what's currently happening and your next best steps, then a channeler using oracle cards may be a better fit.  No matter what type of reading you get, just remember it doesn't replace the importance of working on your own connection to spirit and your intuition.

Today we are talking about a topic that is getting much more attention lately. With the idea of mental health gaining importance a lot of people are realizing the uniqueness in the way they think and navigate the world. Neurodivergence, ADHD specifically, would obviously have an affect on how you receive intuitive messages. We have Chandra Arrington with us for this episode. She is a previous student who has had to navigate this very challenge.  This episode is not intended to diagnose or prescribe medical conditions. We are not licensed healthcare professionals. This is a story about one woman's journey with neurodivergence and intuition. Please check with your doctor if you have any concerns or questions.  Why It Can Be More Challenging for Channelers to Connect  It's more challenging for channelers in general to connect because there is no tangible result of the message. You didn't see or hear anything. You didn't get an emotional response from seemingly nowhere.  You just know things. Since we are born intuitive most channelers have been doing this their entire lives and don't realize its intuition. Neurodivergence can make connecting to that knowing or “gut feeling” more difficult because of the hyperactivity in their mind. It makes it more difficult for them to be present in their bodies to experience that feeling.  ADHD Symptoms That May Affect How You Receive Messages  By the very definition of neurodivergent it stands to reason that cognition is going to be different for the “neuro-person”. When the hyperactivity of ADHD shows up as inner chatter of the mind that can't be turned off, it makes for very little room for clear intuitive messages to come in. Chandra also shares how some other adhd characteristics affect intuition.  Best Tips To Get Clear Intuitive Messages If You're Neurodivergent  The biggest tip for the Channeler is to trust. Trust your guides are they and that they are guiding you even if you don't sense or receive anything in the moment.  Channelers are often more physical and get messages when in motion. Listen as Chandra shares how it felt when she realized she actually was getting intuitive messages and how they were coming in.  How To Deal With Feeling Like You Don't Get Intuitive Messages  Just as Whitney teaches, consistency is a key aspect of successfully connecting with your Guides. Even though you may not get the message immediately you can work with your Guides to make sure it happens in other ways. Your messages start to come in other ways. Something a stranger says at the grocery store, an article comes across your path that is about the very topic you were asking your Guides about.  Be consistent with connecting and trust they will provide you the answer some-way, some-how when the answer is needed.  Regardless of how you receive your intuitive messages, we know your Guides are always conspiring in your favor.

In this episode we'll share all the details on Spirit orbs as well as tell you some of the amazing orb experiences we've had together.  What Are Spirit Orbs?  Brenda shares some of her experiences with orbs through the years and shares the conclusions she has come to and what she believes they are. It all boils down to orbs are energy.  Magical Stories of Fairy Orbs  Listen and Brenda and I share our collective and individual experiences with orb that come to  us as fairies.  The Meaning and Messages of Spirit Orbs  Orbs are just another manifestation of Spirit communicating with us. Most often if you see an orb whatever you think it means (first thought that occurs) is usually what it means.  It can be a call to stop and talk with your Spirit Guides, or it could be a quick wink from Grandma Ruby who stopped by to say hi.  What Questions to Ask When You See an Orb  Most often you'll get a feeling about why you're seeing the orb. Just lean into that feeling. That's your intuition. Ask questions based on that feeling. If you feel the orb is just your Guides saying hello, acknowledge them and thank them for visiting. Then just ask if there was any message or just a visit.  Galactic Spirit Orbs in Sedona & UFO's  Whitney and Brenda share a story of stargazing in the backyard and the lights that appeared to them. Listen to find out what they were doing right before, that they believed called the lights in. Although energy of this nature may be strange and startling at first, but that's because the experiences are new, not because the energy is necessarily negative.  I hope you can delight in the magic that Spirit orbs can bring into our everyday lives.

If you've found yourself struggling to tell those people important to you that you are intuitive or received an intuitive message, in this episode Whitney discusses some ideas on how best to communicate about your gift.  The Deeper Reason It Feels Awkward To Tell People You Are Intuitive  Sharing the fact that you are intuitively connected should be something to be celebrated. However, not everyone is as open to the topic of intuition and things can get awkward. There are many reasons why it feels this way. There may be some wound you carry that inhibits you from speaking freely on the topic.   How To Tell Your Spouse and Family You Are Intuitive  Clear communication is necessary in any healthy relationship. If your spouse is not as woo as you, you'll need to explain your intuition to them in terminology they will receive and understand. Whitney gives some great examples. Including some beautiful ways to protect your energy in these types of conversations.  What To Say When You Have an Intuitive Message For Someone  Again it may be best to put the message into words the person will accept and understand.  One example is when you say “I feel like you should….” the person may accept it is only you providing an opinion vs you delivering an intuitive message.  How To Handle Telling Groups You Are Intuitive  Sometimes it's helpful to start out with more general terms to do a “vibe” check to see if the person you are speaking with is even interested in the topic of intuition. This way you get to determine how much energy you put into explaining about what you do or not. Whitney shares some beautiful ways to protect your energy in these types of conversations.  At the end of the day it is up to you who you share your gifts with. I hope some of these ideas will make the conversation a positive one.

Do you feel like you struggle to get messages from your Spirit Guides with clarity? Are you constantly feeling like you should be asking them for more detail?  If so, here are 6 ways to get better messages from your Guides.  What Your Spirit Guides Say To Do To Get Better Intuitive Messages  This goes back to how Spirit communicates. They communicate through energy. So, obviously our energy will be key to receiving the information accurately. It's not a mental or physical game.  With any type of communication, place the focus on where the info will be coming from.  Why You Should Take Your Spirit Guides On A Date  Don't laugh! I'm being totally serious. Think about a blind date.  How easy is it to communicate with that person you just met? Usually it's awkward AF, right.  It takes time to build rapport, get used to any uniqueness in their communication style (accent, word choice, cadence, etc).  You have to spend time getting to know them before communication becomes fluid and comfortable. Why would we expect a relationship with our Spirit Guides to be that much different?  What To Ask To Get Better Messages From Your Guides  To get better messages you have to…. (drum roll, please).....ask better questions. Just as in human interactive conversation, open ended questions get more detail than questions that dictate short 1-2 word answers.  Give Spirit the room to lay out all the guidance they can share.  When Is It OK to Ask Yes/No Questions to Your Spirit Guides? (And When Is It Not)  Sometimes you may be asking expansive questions and requesting more detail and all you hear from your Guides is crickets. There are instances where they can't give us any more info to ensure we remain fully in our free will to decide our path.  In cases like this, it may be beneficial to ask yes/no questions.  Whitney gives some extremely relatable examples to help you see how this approach can serve you.  Let Your Guides Lead  There can not be enough importance placed on clearing our mind and releasing control when it comes to spirit communication. Clearing the energy and space to allow the new information to come in should be the first step you take when you attempt to communicate with your Guides.  Just Do It  If your Guides are giving you direction and insight on an action to take (that feels aligned of course), just do it!  If you were constantly giving a friend AMAZING advice that they never acted on, wouldn't you start to feel like you were wasting your breath the next time they asked.  Taking the action lets your Guides know you listen and that you are ready and willing for the next step so the guidance will continue to flow.  Here's to having more amazing and increasingly clear communication with your Spirit Guides and as always, here's to staying Spiritual & Ambitious    LINKS:  Whitney's FREE Communicate with your Spirit Guide Class  Enroll in Whitney's 4 Intuitive Languages® Program  Whitney's Oracle Deck  Review This Podcast  Whitney's Instagram    ** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts ** Please consider rating and reviewing my show, Spiritual and Ambitious!

Have you ever just had a strong knowing about something but not sure where it came from? Or maybe others are consistently telling you that you give amazing advice, or that what you said was just what they needed to hear? If so, claircognizance may be the primary way Spirit communicates with you.  Let's look at some of the signs your “clear knowing” is opening.  What Is Claircognizance?  Claircognizance is a clear knowing that using comes into through the body vs the mind. This is the language of the channeler. This is when you know something is true, even though you may have absolutely no proof to back it up. This language is literally your body reacting without your conscious effort.  This is why many channelers don't think they are intuitive at all. They chalk those events up to instinct vs intuition.  Why Loving Your Body Is So Important in Claircognizance  Channeling is very difficult if you don't have a healthy relationship with your body or if you tend to stay more in the upper chakras and are not grounded and present in your body. It is important to allow your body to be the tool that communicates.  Signs that you have Claircognizance As Your Primary Intuitive Language  As you start to pay more attention to your body you will see how it reacts in certain situations and tasks.  Put your awareness on how the body feels. Do you feel excited or energized at that time? Or do you feel more tired all of sudden. Oftentimes your body will react without your conscious effort or you will say something that was not filtered through conscious thoughts in your mind.   Learning How To Be A Channeler Is A Superpower  Because Spirit funnels your messages directly into your body, or have that knowing and have no choice than to believe it as fact. You can be an amazing channel of information and downloads. Using that knowledge for the highest and best will be your superpower  Pay attention to your body and be kind to it.  You never know what Spirit may be using it to tell you.

Do you feel like you are more sensitive than the people around you? Maybe you've been called a Highly Sensitive Person in the past. If you feel the things happening around you very strongly you might be an Empath. And Clairsentience might be your primary intuitive language. Listen to this full episode to find out.  What Is Clairsentience?  In short this language is about receiving your message through feeling and energy. A lot of people call this type of sensitivity “Being an Empath”.   Physical Signs That Your Clairsentience is Opening  Take a look at how other people's energy (emotions) physically affect you. In general you may just feel things more intently, both physically and emotionally.  How the things you put into your body (foods, drinks, snacks, etc.) affect you may begin to shift and change. Or you may begin to crave things that you've never liked before.  Energetic Signs That Your Clairsentience is Opening  Emotions tend to affect you very deeply, whether they are your own or belong to others. Depending on your sensitivity, you may even be able to sense how a person is feeling from across the room or before you even meet them. If you haven't set clear boundaries between you and the energies of others, you may find you assume their emotions. You can get mad, sad, etc out of nowhere and not know where those emotions are coming from. They were “absorbed” from some interaction throughout the day.  Why Being An Empath is a Superpower  Your special sensitivities make you very good at what you do if it involves the need to read and relate to people.  Healers, Coaches, Therapists are all careers empaths can thrive in.  Another way clairsentience can be viewed as a superpower is that you can read the “vibes” of a room as soon as you walk in. If you feel a tension or heaviness, then you know there may be a disagreement that just happened so you know to tread lightly for a few minutes until what happens becomes clear.   The Main Life Lesson Empaths Have to Learn  Because you are so sensitive to the feelings and needs of others, boundaries become very important. Having boundaries doesn't necessarily mean that you have to keep certain people or places completely out of your experience. It just means that you remain aware of how the energies are affecting you so that you can feel what you need to without taking that energy on as your own. This makes energetic releasing and cleansing very important for you.  If any of this sounds like you, I'd love for you to join me in my Masterclass to learn more about managing your empathic sensitivities.  Until then, here's to staying Spiritual & Ambitious  LINKS:  Whitney's FREE Communicate with your Spirit Guide Class  Enroll in Whitney's 4 Intuitive Languages® Program  Take the Quiz to find out your Intuitive Language®  Podcast Episode 126 on Clairvoyance  Podcast Episode 127 on Clairaudience  Whitney's Oracle Deck  Review This Podcast  Whitney's Instagram  ** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts ** Please consider rating and reviewing my show, Spiritual and Ambitious!

Clairaudience. Hearing Spirit. What does that really sound like? Do you hear it internally or externally? We'll try to answer all those questions and give you some signs to see if yours may be coming online now.  What Is Clairaudience?   Clairaudience is the ability to hear spirit's voice. It is actually the rarest of the ways intuition comes and she explains why in this episode.   Physical Signs Your Clairaudience Is Opening  The ability to hear spirit comes in through the same Chakra as seeing spirit. Many signs are similar to the ones for clairvoyance and will occur in the same region of the body.    Energetic Signs Your Clairaudience Is Opening  Spirit is of a higher vibration so sometimes when they communicate what we receive seems to come in very fast. At times, so fast we don't understand what it said. This is when it becomes important to work with your Spirit Guides to better align your energy to receive the information more clearly.  The Meaning of Phantom Sounds  As your clairaudience comes on line you may experience hearing things, physically hearing things, that aren't there. Those are called Phantom Sounds.  Although they sound like they are from the physical plane you are actually hearing them with your intuitive ear .Whitney describes a few examples of times she and some of her students experienced phantom sounds.  It is my hope that you will embrace whatever intuitive language you are naturally inclined to receive.

There are certain signs that will come up when you start to open your clairvoyance. This episode is all about helping you understand what they are and what they mean  What Is Clairvoyance?  Clairvoyance is the ability to see energy or spirit with either your physical eyes or through your psychic eye.   How The Third Eye Chakra Helps Open Clairvoyance  The Third Eye Chakra located roughly in the center of your forehead is the energetic portal of the body where psychic/astral seeing takes place.  Physical Signs Your Clairvoyance Is Opening  Sensation in and around the third eye may be a sign you'll receive. The more you start to use and pay attention to that energetic center the more sensation you may experience. Listen as Whitney explains how developing your psychic vision center may affect your physical sight as well.  How Using Color Through Clairvoyance Can Help You  As your clairvoyance strengthens you may find yourself more sensitive to color. Take notice of the colors you are drawn to versus the colors you shy away from.  This may be your clairvoyance trying to alert you to some energy imbalance in your body.  Energetic & Spiritual Signs Your Clairvoyance Is Opening  Everything is energy so one of the easiest ways for Spirit to get your attention as you develop your clairvoyance is through light energy. Orbs, flashes, blobs of color in photos etc.  Signs Your Clairvoyance Is Opening Before & After You Sleep  The state of consciousness right before you fall asleep or right as you are waking up is very conducive to receiving intuitive messages.  Whitney gives you some examples of how you may experience clairvoyant messages during these times.  Signs Your Clairvoyance is Opening During Meditation  While you are in meditation or in communication with your Spirit Guides, take note if you see visuals that are not what your imagination would make.  This may also be a sign your ability to see spirit is coming on line.  It is my hope that you will embrace whatever intuitive language you are naturally inclined to receive.

In this week's episode, we speak with Dr. Andrea Reid, a citizen of the Nisga'a Nation and assistant professor with the University of British Columbia's Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries and the principal investigator at the Centre for Indigenous Fisheries.  Andrea launched the Centre for Indigenous Fisheries and leads an incredible team where they are working to “build momentum and action in support of the study and protection of culturally significant fish and fisheries” (quoted from cif.fish).  We learned about fish, specifically salmon and Andreas' favorite, the beautiful sockeye salmon, in context to Indigenous knowledge and science, and breaking down the differences between Native fishing practices and the western fishing industry.  We wade into the world of salmon in connection to land,  fishing practices, and place and what this all means not only to the indigenous nations of Canada but to the world of ecology and conservation.   Andrea's work is critical in navigating and healing the deeply damaging results of years of industry fishing and their indiscriminate methods of fishing and the devastating effects that “discard” or “by-catch” have on freshwater species and on rivers, people, and the ecosystem they live with.  Thanks again to Dr. Andrea Reid for taking this time with us. It's a conversation we are still having in our minds and hearts weeks after our recording with her.  Lots of Love.

She's been practicing Feng Shui for over 20 years and loves creating beautiful, clutter-free spaces that support body and soul!   ORACLE MESSAGES FOR FENG SHUI  Boundaries in Feng Shui show up as property lines like fences, gates, etc. So the better these are built and operate, the better and healthier are your boundaries.  WHAT FENG SHUI IS  The literal translation is Wind and Water, but it's really all about energy and how it flows through a space. Quite often the words that you use to describe areas of your life that need improvement are literally the things hindering the flow of energy in that area of your home. Anngee provides some great examples.  WHAT A FENG SHUI ENERGY MAP IS  In Feng Shui that map is something called a Bagua. This map shows what each area of your home represents in your life. This literally overlays the floor plan of each floor of your home as well as room by room.  FENG SHUI TIPS TO SUPPORT YOU IN THE NEW YEAR  Anngee shares some small things you can do in your home to set yourself up for some good fresh energy, prosperity, love and abundance. She specifically mentions things you can do on your porch and front door.  Anngee also reveals that clutter is the most detrimental hindrance to energy flow in your home.  She also shares ways you can remove and replace it for clearing  WHAT YOU CAN DO IN FENG SHUI FOR MORE ABUNDANCE  Here Anngee will give you specific areas of your home, and what to do there, to increase the flow of abundance in any area of your life.

Just as any other location, clutter only creates disorder in the energy. She also shares some unexpected rituals you can do in the area to support your health and happiness.  I hope you've found it amazing how some simple placements and habits can have such a huge impact on your energy.  I hope your energy flows with ease and grace in the new year and here's to staying Spiritual and Ambitious.   LINKS:  Anngee's Instagram (DM her for downloadable Bagua map)  Anngee's Website  Whitney's FREE Spirit Guide Class  Whitney's Oracle Deck  Review This Podcast  Whitney's Instagram    ** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts ** Please consider rating and reviewing my show, Spiritual and Ambitious!

Does it feel like a new year to you yet? If not, it could be because your energy is not in alignment with what you really want to do. It's so easy to fall out of alignment but it's also really easy to get back in as soon as you realize. In this episode we dissect what alignment is and give you tools to get in and stay in alignment with your soul's purpose.   What An Alignment Cycle Is  Growing spiritually is not an easy process. Obviously growing and evolving includes a lot of change and change is never comfortable. Whitney explains what things in your life can be a cycle with beginning and end.  With every change you move into a new cycle or phase of life that you want to be in alignment with your soul's purpose  7 Phases of an Alignment Cycle  Whitney walks you through the 7 phases you'll experience as you bring yourself into alignment in any area of your life.  Listen as she gives examples of what these phases can look and feel like in your life.  Where Most Healers and Intuitives Get Stuck  We see Healers and Intuitives typically get stuck in the phases that feel closest to their purpose.

If you can feel in your bones it's time for a change but you are still questioning it, this episode is for you. Can you make that change? We all go through pivots in every aspect of our lives and the best way to navigate those changes is by connecting to your intuition for guidance.   How to Know When It's Time For A Change  Usually when it's time to shake things up your intuition will be giving you nudges or signs.  We may find it hard to trust those messages for ourselves.  Especially if what you're being led to do goes totally against the direction your logical mind would take.  Intuitive Messages That You Need To Change  These messages are going to come in through your primary intuitive language so it may be unique to each person. Listen as Whitney gives you some examples of how she has seen these messages present for each of the intuitive languages.  Symptoms to Look For When It's Time For A Pivot  Symptoms are most likely going to align with your primary intuitive languages. For example if you're a channeler you may experience physical changes that are pushing you to a certain outcome.  Let's go through some of the examples of how that might show up for you.  When your attitude towards something changes noticeably it may be time for a change or pivot and we'll go through how this could materialize in your experience.  How Do You Know When To Give Up and When To Stay “In It”  If some of the symptoms you experience are having a negative impact externally it may be time to not just pivot but change completely. If your health is being affected (mental or physical) it is mostly time to take a real hard look at exactly how you feel and let your intuition help you re-evaluate the best path forward.  How Not To Hit The Spiritual Brick Wall  When you have multiple symptoms showing up and you're seeing repeating patterns resulting from the decision you're making it is imperative to listen and evaluate at that point.  The easiest way to hit the spiritual brick wall, where it's no longer a choice to change but an unavoidable necessity.  Questions You Should Ask to Evaluate Why Something Isn't Working  Whitney recaps the question each symptom should bring up to help you decide if and/or what might need to change or pivot in your life, relationship, or business.  Needing to change or pivot isn't a negative sign something is wrong. It may simply be the next right action on your unique journey.

In this episode we will talk healing, specifically Quantum healing. Our Guest, Deanna Frey. Deanna has a  Master's Degree in organic chemistry from Duke University and spent over 25 years in scientific research before totally switching gears and becoming a Quantum Healing Hypnosis Practitioner, Reiki Master and Archangelic Light Master. She helps people heal their spirit, unveil who they are meant to be and step into the flow of their ideal life.  What is the Quantum Field?  The Quantum Field is the energy of the Universe. The energy that is in everything that exists. Deanna explains how healers specifically can focus that energy for the purpose of helping others.  The Bridge Between Science and Spirit?  As spiritually minded people we believe everything that exists has an energy makeup. Science has proven this beyond the subatomic level. Deanna says she believes it's a perfect relationship.   What is  the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT)?  The QHHT begins with placing a person into a trace-like state or hypnotizing if you will. Deanna explains how this state of consciousness allows us to connect with knowledge we already have but may not be able to access in the conscious state.  How We Can Heal Through Hypnosis  Just like in any other modalities, it really depends on the person and what their specific needs are. Deanna shares different healings that she has experienced while doing this work. What will happen for someone with a physical issue versus someone more in need of emotional healing. Listen to hear what type of results Deanna has experienced herself and seen in others since beginning this work.  How Your Healing Can Affect Others  This goes back to the definition of Quantum Field. Deanna explains how the healing work affects the Quantum Field and the connectedness of our energy.  Myths About Being Hypnotized.  As the episode wraps up Deanna busts some long held myths about hypnosis, how it looks, and what you can expect from being hypnotized.  Everyone's healing journey is unique. Everyone's needs are different. You may want to ask yourself “What if QHHT is the next step on my journey?”.  The answer may surprise you.
