It's time to introduce you to Sarina Lowe—a beautiful ballet dancer with one of the strongest drives for dance I've ever seen, plus an amazing sense of humor! I've only taken two dance classes with her ever, but she's one of my biggest dance encouragers, and it was so great to hear her dance story. Sarina loved performing so much as a kid that she used to search out extra dance competitions to go to on her own to perform her solos as much as possible. She even got to be on an episode of Dance Moms for a moment because she danced at one of their competitions! Sarina did tap and hip hop and other styles as well, but ballet was her main focus. She was in a professional ballet company as a kid up until her late teens! These days, she's teaching and going on auditions and figuring out her next dance plan—another ballet company? being a dancer on a cruise? musicals? Who knows? The world is her dance oyster. So tune in to the whole episode (links in bio) to learn more about Sarina, be inspired, and hear about our absolutely amazing time taking Denise Leitner's class at Hama's Dance Center.

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.

In this episode of Majestic Wisdom Podcast Heather co-creates with Deanna Green, yoga teacher and owner of Shambhala Yoga and Dance Center in Brooklyn, NY! Deanna shares how her journey with yoga started and how it has become an integral part of her work not only in owning a studio, but in her personal healing, and healing within the collective. Through yoga, Deanna has discovered tools that helped her uncover her authentic Self, and she creates a safe space for others so we can all be “unapologetically ourselves.” Here, she talks about her growth through yoga, including many different kinds of challenges, how she meets them, and the flexibility that comes through self-inquiry. We talk about ways in which what she has learned “on the mat” translates into her life and the importance of sharing these teachings with others. Heather also offers a plant spirit reading in relation to Deanna's work and experience. We hope that this podcast will encourage you to explore where you feel safe, what authenticity means for you, and what you want to bring into the world.

BENJI SCHWIMMER, sorry that had to be all caps!!!!! It's Benji Schwimmer. This was such an amazing episode. He is an award-winning dancer who burst onto the global scene when he won the second season of “So You Think You Can Dance.” The son of two professional dancers – Benji grew up surrounded by the art form, competing since the age of five at his family's home studio in Southern California. Benji is a 14-Time undefeated Modern World Swing Champion (a genre using mixed disciplines including swing, stunts, hip hop, and jazz). He also holds multiple national and world titles in the genres of solo, partner, and group dance divisions. He is the only dancer in the world to have world titles in all. Benji received global recognition upon being crowned the season 2 winner of " So You Think You Can Dance ". Benji's work can be seen on American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, X-Factor, America's Got Talent, and World of Dance. Clients include Adele, Brad Paisley, Demi Lovato, Iggy Azalea, Christina Aguilera, Miley Cyrus, Ellen, Kelly Rippa, and Kelly Clarkson. He most recently co-choreographed Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, the Quentin Tarantino film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. He has choreographed for several Olympic figure skating teams; most recently Olympian Adam Rippon's 'Bird' piece.  Schwimmer knows the power of dance first hand - how dance can heal and celebrate the milestones of life. He is the co-owner of The Dance Center, a space created to help each student reach their highest potential while enhancing interest and emphasizing the importance of dance and physical literacy. Benji founded D.E.M.A.N.D. (Dancers Everywhere Making a Needed Difference) a non-profit organization that helps the less fortunate and provides health care for dancers with HIV/AIDS and other illnesses, and is a frequent content creator for the Body Positivity movement.

I had two interesting dreams about dead people, it's so rare, maybe the last time was after my grandmother in Nepal passed away in 1996. I had a dream about Anthony Bourdain and my grandmother, and I received a reading from a new friend and colleague from the psychic faire at Starborn Healing and Wellness.  I then noticed synchronicity with a new soup I had to make and realized that Anthony Bourdain in my dream made me and my friend a vegetable puree/soup that he used to serve over polenta.  Oh yeah, it's bizarre, and amazing at the same time because of what happened during my reading with Claire from the psychic faire.   Plus, I share more messages from them from opening my Akashic Records and the Akashic Records of Anthony and my Grandma. It's just another day in the life of an intuitive healer! Topics discussed in this episode: -my dreams and having dead people visit me -Anthony Bourdain came to me in a dream -My Hajur-Ma (Grandmother) came to me in a dream the next night -I worked the Psychic Faire and did a trade with someone that is a channel and medium -Claire told me that they did visit me in my dream -Claire and I helped Anthony Bourdain -I gave myself an Akashic Record reading about both dreams with Anthony Bourdain and my Grandmother who is also deceased -I read the results of opening my Akashic Records about my Grandma and Bourdain -I read the messages from the Akashic Records of my Grandma and Bourdain Shout-outs: Claire Blanc, Channel, Intuitive healing, Mediumship, Space Clearing IG: @Claire_blanc_art Starborn Healing Wellness and Dance Center starbornhealing.com, IG: @starbornwellness  FB: @starbornwellness 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.

As Programme Director of China's first and only theatre complex specifically dedicated to dance, Sabrina Chen knows a thing or two about reading the China arts scene. In our chat, she compares the audiences in Shanghai to those of other cities in China and around the world.  To many people (your host included) contemporary dance can at first seem like an esoteric and abstract art form, which can only appeal to a small group of expert connoisseurs. But Sabrina helps to dispel this idea, and her passion is, for want of a better word, contagious.  See the visuals and join the community on Instagram (https://instagram.com/mosaicofchina), Facebook (https://facebook.com/mosaicofchina), and WeChat (https://mosaicofchina.com/wechat).

Here’s my conversation with Sandra Catena, popular belly dance instructor and performer, personal trainer and author of “The African Belly Dance”–the first murder mystery to feature a belly dancer as its protagonist. BOOK FACTS “The African Belly Dance” is a murder mystery featuring Santina Cole, a first generation Italian-American from Newark, New Jersey. Santina was raised in a blue-collar family with deep Catholic roots and much to the chagrin of her family, becomes a belly dancer. Santina is a feisty, funny, red hot woman from the hood who finds herself in the middle of trouble. While performing in West Africa at a Lebanese nightclub, a murder occurs. Santina is in the thick of it and helps find the killer. Get on this magic carpet ride that takes the reader from Newark, New Jersey to Manhattan to West Africa!
