Your Creative Sparks: Energy itself exists on the SPECTRUM OF POLARITIES. LIGHT and ENLIGHTENMENT is our inherent nature - and the end goal. So long as we do not accept that DARK ENERGIES EXIST, we do not have THE AGENCY OF CHOICE. We have to attend to OUR OWN INNER DEMONS, or else the outer ones can get in. The battle is real. A rather rude awakening in Mongolia initiates Lobsterbird into the realm of shadow entities and dark matter. Four months later, after the tutelage of an Ipsissimus named Stephen Templar, she begins to break her silence. Join us in Bali, as the sultry wind whispers gently through a lush garden. The plants send their tropical greeting and big, leafy protection, inviting you to pull up a lounge underneath the mango tree. Listen... as we talk to you today about the glory and the gory. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue Her firm belief: we are able to co-create our reality from the quantum field, *everything* we see around us, including the things we would label good or bad. Her focus thus far has been on light energy, until... [4:01] We can see the darkness within ourselves. It comes out in our neurosis, pathos, our habits and patterns that we can’t quite seem to break, and the way we feel just darn crappy sometimes. [9:00] If energy is the source of all that manifests into matter, what does it mean that there is light and dark energy? [10:55] Ants bite. They aren’t entities or demons, but they do bite. Annnnd that’s kind of how dark energies express themselves too. [13:00] A story of serendipity: How Lobsterbird meets the Templars. [15:40] “If I am going to participate as a warrior of light, then I need some freaking help!” [20:00] Stephen Templar, a practicing magi and demonologist for decades, ushers her in. [24:04] “You have the markings of lemurian crystal engraved into your back.” [27:37] The Chöd practice in Canyon de Chelley - when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. [29:49] If you call yourself a lightworker… are you working with the full scope? If we are going to defeat the forces of dark/evil, we have to work with both sides.

What the Heck is a Lobsterbird? Paulo Coelho inspired millions of readers around the world and became one of the most beloved storytellers of our time with the international bestselling phenomenon The Alchemist. Now, in the beloved companion to his classic, The Warrior of The Light: A Manual invites us to live out our dreams to embrace the uncertainty of life, and to rise to our own unique destiny. In his inimitable style, Paulo Coelho shows readers how to embark upon the way of the Warrior: the one who appreciates the miracle of being alive, the one who accepts failure, and the one whose quest leads him to become the person he wants to be. How do we find a resting place in a world that is complex and always changing? How do we practice spirituality beyond the limits of blind acceptance and doubt? Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel proposes that when we ask challenging questions like these, we access our deepest intelligence and most powerful insights. Her book, The Power of an Open Question guides us on a provocative, playful, and spiritually enriching journey of contemplation that could last a lifetime. In her latest book, The Logic of Faith Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel explores the creative relationship between faith and doubt, knowing and not-knowing, and shows how an awakened life results from living from the place in between.

Your Creative Sparks: CREATIVITY is the spark of ENLIGHTENMENT. MAKING ART is creating the opportunity for ENERGY to flow through the artist and out into form. We are ALL MAKING ART together, creating this giant canvas, this giant performance we call LIFE. The magical song of the Lobsterbird calls to us from the heart of the emerald forest, where she collaborates with Nature to help us bend our awareness around the concept of “Aesthetics”. There are ways of knowing other than our physical senses. Our understanding of who and what we are is deepening. Paying more attention to the energetic qualities of our existence is accelerating and elevating our human consciousness. Letting go of aesthetics is another key to expansion and enlightenment. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue This episode was inspired by our podcast manager trying to wrap her head around the concept of “Aesthetics”, as presented in a previous episode with Gerald Busby. [3:06] Sacred Survival School? Sonya Louise is helping Sophia prepare for her Vision Quest, helping hone both the practical and mystical skills she will need to rely on. While here, Sophia decides to get Nature’s input on the concept of “Aesthetics”. [5:15] Gerald’s ideas on “Aesthetics” as understood by Lobsterbird: i believe he means creating a world in which things look and seem a certain way. that when we put a layer of opinion on anything, it becomes an aesthetic choice we make, instead of it simply existing as an amorphous, undefinable energetic entity (which it is at its very essence). in short, aesthetics = the world we perceive to be real. [8:24] Aesthetics and Artists: An artist who has been working on their craft for a very long time will develop an “aesthetic”. Over time, the art that is produced is a product of this one stream of consciousness, an energy stream that is embodied in a person – the artist – and so similar themes and patterns will come up, creating a certain essence of it because of the imprint of the artist on it. [10:45] We perceive things in 3D form, as material objects. We are under the assumption that we are touching and feeling and sensing everything exactly as it is. For instance, we perceive each other as having a specific human form. But we are actually just a channel for energy flowing into form, and our consciousness chooses that form. [16:40] Is a rock really a rock? Gerald Busby’s “Aesthetics” also talked about the “context” we put on things. Our thoughts about it offers context, and without that context, the form would simply dissolve into energy. Without assigning it form and meaning, the thing itself wouldn’t exist. [19:29] To really BE: If presence is our power, and perception is our power, than we can enter a process of letting go of aesthetics... letting go of the meaning of things, especially the meaning of things that we have been given by others. [24:50] Buddhism and the Five Skandhas: How sensing> feeling> perception> formation> and consciousness can be summed up in poop, and why that stinks.  [28:04] Art is a representation of what we do with our consciousness all the time. [34:54] When we go out into Nature, a quietness descends in our mind. There’s a power that the earth has to somehow unravel the conditioning of context. We can tap into something here, a different way of being, untainted by our need to exert our human influence on it. [37:17] Practicum! Go out into nature. Be. Notice the sensations. Shift your senses. Allow your Self the space to sense without putting any kind of label on it, without having a reaction to it, without telling yourself whether it is good or bad. Allow your consciousness to experience this world without labeling it.

GET ON THE RETREAT VIP LIST! Many years ago, I had a discussion with my coach which started out with me bitching and complaining about how unhappy I had been in my life lately. After working through a handful of things, I became SUPER clear that my day in and day out life wasn't reflective of the things I knew brought me joy and happiness. I wasn't taking care of my health, wasn't meditating, wasn't connecting with like-minded spirits, wasn't involved in creative projects... so NO WONDER I had hit a rough patch! Was it that I didn't know what would help me feel better? Nope. That was just the prob. I totally knew what lit me up, I was just not doing any of those things. I was involved in full-on self-sabotage and I had NO idea I was even doing it! Perhaps you can relate? Maybe you want to embark on a new career, but instead of researching, you zone out on some rando's vacation pics on Facebook. Or maybe you want to get healthier, but you continue to hang out with people who make it #supes challenging to go for the kale over the burger. If you're like most people, chances are you consistently get in your own way and have perpetual non-cohesiveness between what you SAY you want and what you actually DO. In this episode, I untangle what-the-hell self-sabotage even is, why we do it (even without knowing it), and exactly what you can do about it (like, today!). Be sure to grab your cheatsheet [points to yellow button above] and get ready to make some shit happen. This pod explores: How our fear is directly related to our self-sabotaging behavior and the question that will get you to the root of your fear The three main areas of your life you need to examine and alter to seriously set yourself up for success How to figure out a game plan for the things you need to keep, stop, and start in your daily routine YOU ON THE RETREAT VIP LIST YET? Be the FIRST to hear about the extra discounts, bonuses, and secret offers! Wanna hang out in real life? And learn some dope, life-changing shit? And connect with like-minded badasses who are dying to be in your corner? And eat amazing food in a #gorge destination? Of course, you do! At the end of May, I will open registration for a brand-spankin'-new, IN-PERSON retreat and if you're like, “AMY!! Tell me first!” then, Love, I've gotchu. All the sexy details are still being ironed out, but if you'd like to be the absolute FIRST to hear about all the early-bird steals and deals, be sure to get your ass on this little list right HERE. Can't wait to hug you #IRL! THE JOY JUNKIE AFTER HOURS CLUB! COMPLETELY FREE FACEBOOK GROUP. TONS OF SUPPORT YOU CRAVE. JOIN THE CLUB. You in on this FREE badassery yet?
