Hola party people! In this new episode of The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with me, Sabrina Scott, I start with an update about my upcoming fourth book and second graphic novel, Bodymagic, and continue on with a discussion about how magic, witchcraft, and spirituality are about much more than just paying attention to the latest and greatest full and new moons. If you've been feeling bored and repetitive about your spiritual practice, this episode is for you!- Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott. She's been a practicing witch and medium for more than 25 years, and in this casual, mellow show she shares her secrets and musings about how to overcome pain and live a happy, magical life. She is the author of four books: Witchbody; Curse and Cure: Magic for Real Life; Rapeseed: Poetry and Writing About Life After Rape; and the upcoming Bodymagic: A Graphic Novel About Witchcraft, Trauma, and Healing. You can learn more about Sabrina, book a tarot reading, and learn about her courses at sabrinamscott.com, and say hi on Instagram @sabrinamscott. Email her at ceo@sabrinamscott.com
On the Secret Witch Show today, we have the wonderful Charlie Merton. Charlie began teaching yoga in 2011 after a decade of self-practice. Since then, her style has evolved into a slow, creative hatha and breath-based flow practice. She offers a unique combination of integral practices in which people chant, breath, move and relax deeply into their bodies. She has a Masters in Music Psychotherapy and is certified in various yogic disciplines such as Sivananda, Yin, Restorative yoga, Yoga nidra, pranayama, Kundalini and Tantra, as well as being a certified crystal and sound therapist. She runs her own yoga practice in London and also enjoys playing her many gongs. We dived into a *lot* in this show - from how we can be so disconnected from our bodies via trauma that we can't create healing magic, to how our bodies are a beautiful guidance system to be nurtured, that are simply inviting us to listen in. Enjoy! What You'll Learn from this Episode: We can become very disconnected from our bodies in our trauma, and this leads us to dissociate and go away to some other planet. It's a defense mechanism - a way of checking out - and it's common, often, especially when we feel *everything* so very deeply. We can tell what's *for us* and what's *not* from the sensations in our body - often we ignore these, but even still, we *know* on a deep Soul level - we just often ignore it. This might show up as us “asking for permission” for what's really aligned for us - e.g. Charlie shared her own unique experience of wanting permission from her parents to not get married - because we are so used to people pleasing - and often don't have enough faith in our own power. If we don't listen to our bodies, we will pay the price through the manifestation of dis-ease in the body - for example, being unable to breathe, suffering panic attacks and unpleasant sensations and illness - and even accidents that may “wake us up” - and crack us open At any point, though, we can begin again to learn to tune in and listen with our Body Guidance System - our heart compass - and trust our Soul's instincts to be able to feel into different things in life. The way to listening in is really unique and individual, but we can begin to openly, lovingly and curiously listen to sensation as a messenger about the mystery of ourselves! A good question to ask is: “how is my body responding to this?” - and we can ask this question of everything - including whether we are following our Soul's path. We need to create safety for ourselves to feel everything - digesting our emotions is a practice - and emotional intelligence is a skill for life! Bringing our awareness to basic level sensation is a powerful practice to create autonomy with our nervous system, and we get better at feeling - and welcoming all feelings - and working to our edge.

Ok....let's see a virtual raise of hands....how many of you feel like food is your ENEMY? I think that anyone on a weight loss journey will feel this way at some point along the way. With this episode I want to introduce you to someone that is hoping to shift your perspective when it comes to your relationship to food. Chinmayi Dore left a banking career in 2007, at the age of 41 to pursue a desire to help others – physically, emotionally and spiritually, also committing herself to an intense period of learning and retraining in yoga and holistic therapies. In incorporating these practices into her own life and becoming more conscious generally, she discovered that she had been managing an eating disorder since her teens, which she had accepted as the norm. As she incorporated yoga, meditation, reiki and other healing practices into her life, she realized that her binge and emotional eating had all but disappeared. This knowledge eventually manifested a comprehensive book - BodyMAGIC! - a Blissfully Happy Ending to Emotional and Binge Eating. Listen in as Chinmayi and I discuss: The relationship between happiness and healing. The essential components of developing a friendship with food. Clearing emotional baggage with yoga and meditation. A quick tip for someone who is ready to start healing their relationship with food.

Nearly a month in the making, Bill meets face to bone crunching face with Eric St. Vaughn as the "Personal Trainer to the Stars" takes the 2nd Chair for a special edition podcast mostly dedicated to the topic of professional wrestling. After the tensions die down, Bill gets Eric to open up a bit and the two begin to talk about Resistance Pro Wrestling, the Chicago born wrestling organisation of which ESV performs in as part of a faction known as Body Magic. Vaughn explains to everyone exactly what a Bronco Buster is. Bill is shocked to learn that, for being such an arrogant jerk, Eric takes part in RPro's charity events. Bill is left in the cold as Gutter Monk has a few questions for the muscle bound co-host. Bill helps ESV get over a rather embarrassing ring moment moment involving wrestling legend Jake "The Snake" Roberts with a little Silver Lining therapy.
