In this episode of The Empowered Spirit Show, host Terri Ann Heiman continues the journey from last week's exploration of the thinning veils by grounding us in the physical transitions of fall. Terri  delves into the profound wisdom that nature offers through the cycles of the seasons, particularly focusing on the powerful metaphor of how trees release their leaves. She explores the direction of the West, the Earth element, and the duality of fall as both a time of harvest and release. The episode features a guided meditation, channeled messages for this season of change, and an invitation to let go of what no longer serves us so we can begin anew. Key Topics Discussed The Transitions of Fall: An exploration of the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual shifts we experience as the seasons change and how our Spirit naturally pulls inward from the activities of summer. The Direction of the West: Understanding the West as the place where the sun sets, representing gratitude for life's lessons, acknowledgment of struggles, and recognition of the harvest and abundance available to us. The Duality of Autumn: Embracing both the celebration of plenty and the melancholy of preparation, grief, and the shortening days as fields are plowed and the earth prepares for rest. The Earth Element: Learning how the Earth element grounds us to our physical presence and shows us what can be shed and what we must let go of during this season. Living Trees vs. Dead Trees: The profound teaching that living trees naturally release their leaves, trusting the cycle and preparing for new growth, while dead trees hold onto withered leaves because there is no life force moving through them. This powerful metaphor reveals how we either flow with life's transitions or remain stuck in old patterns. Four Channeled Messages for This Season: •Rethink the structures that have upheld your life •Keep it simple •Give everything a review •Don't even think about apologizing for who you are Guided Meditation: A meditation journey that includes grounding with the Earth element, connecting with the West direction, visualizing the release of old patterns through falling leaves, receiving channeled messages, and setting intentions for the season ahead. Memorable Quotes "Our Spirit begins to pull in from all the activities of summer, and this energy can feel both refreshing and exciting." "The West is a time of gratitude for all of life's lessons. This is the place where we notice our struggles." "Fall is symbolic of plenty, ripening, harvest, and abundance." "The entire autumn season is a time of melancholy, preparation, and grief." "A living, healthy tree naturally releases its leaves when the season changes. It doesn't hold on. It doesn't resist. It trusts the cycle." "A dead tree holds onto its withered, brown leaves. They stay there, stuck, clinging to the branches through winter, through spring, sometimes for years." "When we're truly alive, truly connected to our spirit and the natural rhythms of life, we can release what no longer serves us." "When we're stuck, when we're holding onto fear or pain or the familiar comfort of 'the way things have always been,' we become like that dead tree." "Are you a living tree, willing to release and trust the seasons of your life? Or are you holding onto dead leaves, stuck in old patterns, resisting the very transitions that would bring you new life?" "Rethink the structures that have upheld your life. What foundations are you built upon? Are they still serving your highest good?" "Keep it simple. Let go of the unnecessary complications and find the beauty in simplicity." "Give everything a review. This is a time for honest assessment, not for judgment. Simply notice." "Don't even think about apologizing for who you are. You are a unique and beautiful expression of the divine." "You must release the old so you can begin anew." Resources & Links Schedule a Complimentary Spiritual Upgrade Call. Feeling lost in these transitions? Finding it difficult to let go?

4 Signs the Veils Are Thinning •Ritual and Shelter: A magical place to shop for all your spiritual needs. Visit them online at ritualshelter.com or in person in Homewood, Alabama. You can also find them on Instagram at @RitualShelterShop and on Pinterest at @RitualPlusShelter. Episode Summary In this episode of The Empowered Spirit Show, host Terri Ann Heiman delves into the mystical concept of the "thinning of the veils," a phenomenon said to occur in October, especially around Halloween. Terri explains how this thinning of the energetic barrier between the physical and spirit worlds can enhance our intuition and connection to the spiritual realm. The episode also features a guided meditation, channeled messages from spirit, and a collective tarot reading to help listeners navigate this powerful time of year. Key Topics Discussed •The Thinning of the Veils: An exploration of what the "thinning of the veils" means and how it can impact our lives. •Super Full Moon Energy: A discussion on the expansive and magnifying energy of the Super Full Moon and how to work with it. •October's Energetic Shift: Understanding the transitional energy of October, a time for introspection, release, and honoring our shadow selves. •Connecting with Spirit: How to notice and enhance your connection with angels, ancestors, and spirit guides during this time. •Signs and Synchronicities: Recognizing the messages and signs the universe sends us, especially when the veil is thin. •Personal Story: Terri Ann shares a personal story of loss and how it led to a profound spiritual connection. •Guided Meditation & Channeled Messages: A guided meditation to center and connect with spirit, followed by channeled messages for the collective. •Tarot Reading: A three-card tarot reading revealing the energies we are releasing, embracing, and stepping into.   4 Ways to Notice the Thinning of the Veil in your own life: 1) You'll feel called to do something with no logical explanation. You can't always explain why you're taking action in a certain way, but it ends up working out for you in the best way possible. And these moments, you are being guided by an unseen presence. As the Veil thins, your spirit guides will lead you through your intuitive nudges and gut feelings. That's the first way you can notice. 2) You may notice more easily the heavy, harsh energy around other people. You're more tuned to the energetic vibration other people are giving off. You may more easily distinguish between people acting from their intuitive spirit versus those acting from their ego mind, which keeps many in a state of fear. 3) You have a desire for something and it shows up in your life quickly, many call this manifesting, but it's also about aligning with the vibration of your desires and watching how the universe lets them flow into your life. As the veil thins, it becomes easier to recognize your soul's desires and trust the universe to bring them to you. 4) You see more signs, messages, and synchronicities from the universe. You might feel a spiritual presence with you more easily and feel supported by the spirit world and your own healing. As the veil thins, you are more able to connect to the universe because you can see signs in your physical reality. Memorable Quotes "The veil is a symbolic term for the energetic curtain that distinguishes between the spirit world and the physical world." "As the Veil thins, your spirit guides will lead you through your intuitive nudges and gut feelings." "We all have circumstances in life that lead us back into our soul to ask the deeper questions." "Spiritual truth is always at work beyond what the eyes can see, and so that thinning of the veils is like a portal, like an opening. That we can all access." This is a potent reminder for us to look within and consider what we need to release to prepare for our own period of rest and reflection. It is a time of introspection. Our spirit is being called inward more and more as the days get shorter and shorter, honoring the shadows within us. Not something to fear, but as a source of wisdom and understanding. •Spiritual Upgrade Call: Schedule a call with Terri Ann Heiman to learn how to tune into your Soul's journey and connect with your spirit guides. https://naturalforcesstudio.as.me/complimentary

As this podcast goes to air, we are in a black moon energy. Yes, this is a rare occurrence, and I was kind of taking a little break to kinda catch up with myself from all my summer travels, but this black moon is pretty rare. It's deep. It goes into our Soul, and it allows us to reflect on all that's been going on and to set new intentions. As we began to transition into a new season, it's about looking into the shadow parts of us, and so that could be many things for many people. Now, for myself, I've been traveling, I've been out in California preparing for a new transition. I went back and visited my college right into that dorm room where it all started, and so all this energy for me is coming up and how it relates to my path, and that deeper part of me, and even my ancestral energy, my family energy, all of it is surfacing. I know I had a couple of sleepless nights during the Dark Moon energy helping me to kind of put it all into perspective. I know one morning I woke up like, what is wrong? What's going on? And I did have a few conversations that helped me to pull it out and tears were flowing, but. That's how we heal. Doesn't mean we have to go in and relive every single detail of our past, but we can reflect on it, bring it to the surface, and for me, shine light with reiki on it to help me ease in to a greater part of me when we move through any kind of transition. There's lots of energy that comes forward, lots that we wanna leave behind, and even a space of newness that we wanna be able to open up to. And so this new moon coming in, it's an additional new moon during the season. That's why it's called a Black Moon. Doesn't happen all that often. And so it allows us a powerful opportunity to set energy for new beginnings, particularly related to our own health, our daily routines. Virgos got a little bit of that earth element, so stability and practicality help us to ground. It's also a really good time to go through your stuff and clean up that clutter. When we declutter our physical space, it opens up so much in our mental space as well. So, where are you right now on your path? What did the summer bring up? Generally, Summer is all about growing, expanding, having patience, fun, and getting outside. I as I always talk about the Wild Woman energy. I know for myself, I've brought a lot of that forward because I am about to make a big transition and allowing some of that wildness, that raw energy, the innocence to come forward. Just like standing in that dorm room thinking, wow, 50 years really. I know some of that innocence wasn't there anymore, but I can't let that jade me for new opportunities coming in. But instead, I can harness the energy, gather it up, feel the gratitude for all my many lessons, and then bring that forward in a different kind of way, in a different kind of innocence. And that's exactly where we are in the cosmic forces as well. We're moving from some major shifts in consciousness, and so this is what it's about, and maybe it makes you feel a little raw and uncertain about yourself. That's okay. Embrace that rawness. The more that you can allow that to come forward, get comfortable in the uncomfortable, the more you'll notice your growth coming forward. So maybe you're thinking, well, I don't know if I grew at all, but I don't know. Check in with yourself. Did your hair grow? You know, did you get a little tan from being outside? Did you look at things from a different perspective? That's growth. Maybe it's bigger changes. Maybe you did change your job, maybe you upped your position. Something like that. It could be that as well. So today, I'm going to offer a meditation. 'cause that's, like I said, I was gonna take a pause because I'm sitting here making jewelry and creating and bringing all that summer energy forward. I just thought like it's too important not to offer a meditation. If you miss the Black Moon episode before this, I do talk all about the Black Mtoon and what you can learn from it. Go back and check it out. We drew some cards. I did a Black Moon spread. This meditation will help you integrate this energy and set some intentions for your path.  Spend some time today in nature if you can, grounding with the Virgo energy. Let this serve as a ritual for you to honor these intentions. So as we go to close, a huge shout out to Ritual + Shelter for sponsoring this podcast, to Jennifer Dorman and all the amazing work that she's doing and offering in her shop, and for all of her great Tarot readers that helped to create this Tarot series on the show. I am  so grateful. And yes, PS I have some new jewelry over at Ritual and Shelter now, going along with my new show called Soul Messages, check it out. And, to all of you for listening each week, I am so grateful! Know that I do have some openings, as we move into the new season, for my private mentoring.

It will help you to create a spiritual practice, giving you the tools and techniques to go deep within. And as I say, caution, this will change your life... in a good way. Schedule a Spiritual Upgrade Call with me and let's talk about your path and the number one thing you can do right now to activate the energy of yourSoul. I'll be back in a couple of weeks with some great spiritual authors and more conversations. Be sure to share this podcast with anybody you know that could use a little bit of help along their path.

Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in, and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. This is your host, Ryan Embree, a part of our Suite Spot 2025 Summer Road trip series. We are right here in our backyard in Orlando at the Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando nearest to Universal Studios like I said, right in our backyard down the road, out of our TMG headquarters out here with Rick and Carlos who have been both here at this amazing property. We're gonna talk all about it. Now, Rick, we have met up with you earlier this year, and we have, yeah. One thing we haven't done is done a proper, you know, hospitality journey. We love a good story in hospitality, right? All of our humble beginnings where we might've started at the front desk. Bellman for myself. Give us a little bit of background in our audience, background into your hospitality. Rick Colling: Got it, Ryan, with pleasure. And it's a fun journey, Ryan, mate. So, we're like you. I started at the front desk, at the Kalamazoo Residence Inn, right after graduating from college. And I walked into the hotel and I said I've graduated from college. I think I should be the GM of a hospitality hotel. And the GM said to me, do you know anything about the business? I said, nothing. So he became my mentor in the business. So I started at the front desk and worked my way up through the ranks at Marriott. Spent 10 years with Marriott and I've been with Hilton now for 27 years, and been a GM and property director of sales on property, but I worked all the disciplines and it's just been an incredible journey to finally end up leading a brand like Homewood Suites over the course of the last five years, which has been, you know, certainly a career highlight for me. So, a fun journey to get me here today. Ryan Embree: But yet a familiar one; one that we hear all the time, a lot of college students, you know, maybe just taking here a summer job, end up falling in love with the industry. But another piece of your story that we're hearing so often is mentors. Yeah. And I wanna highlight that is because there's so many hospitality professionals out there mentoring the next generation of hospitality professionals. So important in our industry right now. And Carlos you have a background here in this area, this campus? Of hotels. Give us your hospitality journey. Carlos Sotillo: Well, actually, funny story, when my parents first came to America, they actually started working at a Homewood Suites. Oh, okay. I was, came out, yeah. My mom was a housekeeper. My dad was a houseman. And I was 11. So during summer break, they would take me with them to work sometimes. And so I grew up in a Homewood Suites during my summer break. Rick Colling: Which is where you needed to be, right. Carlos: Right. In full circle. But officially, my career started, I was a breakfast attendant at a small hotel down on I-Drive. And then the opportunity came out to be a night auditor. So, you know, I went for it. And now, low and behold, here I am. I went through four different Hilton brands. I've gone through Hampton Hilton, Garden Inn, Home2, and now here back at the Homewood. So it's been a fun, fun journey. Rick Colling: No, we're glad to have you mate. One of the best in the business right here. Ryan Embree: Well, it's incredible. We always say sometimes, hospitality runs in the blood, runs in your DNA sometimes,

This conversation explores the transformative power of tarot, the journey of spiritual awakening, and how a metaphysical business can serve as a healing sanctuary for the community. Jennifer shares her personal journey from chronic pain to healing through Reiki, her evolution as a tarot reader, and the unexpected discoveries about autism and telepathic abilities that have shaped her understanding of spiritual communication. The episode offers valuable insights for both tarot beginners and experienced practitioners, while highlighting the importance of creating safe spaces for spiritual exploration and healing.   Guest Biography: Jennifer Doman Jennifer Doman is a Reiki Master Teacher and the visionary owner of Ritual and Shelter, a metaphysical store and healing sanctuary located in Homewood, Alabama. Her journey into holistic healing began through personal necessity after undergoing multiple back surgeries that failed to provide relief from chronic pain. Through her exploration of alternative healing methods, Jennifer discovered the transformative power of Reiki, which not only healed her physical pain but ignited a passion for helping others find similar relief. In 2021, Jennifer successfully obtained her Reiki Master Teacher certification and has since developed a unique approach that combines Reiki healing with complementary practices including energy healing, crystal healing, sound healing, and intuitive healing. Her personal experience with trauma and pain has enabled her to create a deeply empathetic and effective healing practice. Jennifer's spiritual journey has recently expanded to include a profound understanding of autism and telepathic abilities, following her own diagnosis and exploration of the connections between neurodivergence and spiritual gifts. She specializes in working with autistic individuals and their families, helping them understand and develop their unique spiritual abilities.

Key Insights: •Focus on projection (energy reading) rather than prediction •Seven-card chakra spread as a comprehensive reading method •Tarot as a tool for identifying trauma, grief, and emotional blocks •Integration of Reiki energy during readings for enhanced healing 3. Building a Metaphysical Business During COVID The conversation explores Jennifer's journey of opening Ritual and Shelter during the pandemic, transforming from a women's wellness store to a full metaphysical sanctuary. She discusses the challenges and rewards of creating a spiritual community space in conservative Alabama. Key Insights: •Community need drove business evolution •Customers seeking crystals and tarot sustained the business during COVID •Importance of trauma-informed approaches in spiritual retail •Creating safe spaces for spiritual exploration and healing 4. The Witch Archetype and Feminine Empowerment Jennifer courageously discusses claiming the witch identity and what it represents in terms of feminine empowerment, rebellion against societal constraints, and standing up for personal rights.

You have to like it." - Jennifer Doman On Reading Philosophy "I typically do not like it for prediction because I know that we can change every circumstance. So I am reading tarot based on energy." - Jennifer Doman On Spiritual Communication "Those cards are universe speaking through me... it is almost comical how often I pull those cards and it reflects exactly what we've just been talking about." - Jennifer Doman On Self-Healing with Tarot "When you're just reading tarot like it's a book and just looking at those messages, what does this card represent in myself? Right now, it's automatically a healing session for yourself." - Jennifer Doman On Feminine Empowerment "The witch represents this sort of female rage. And I think we need that so bad right now... when you say I'm a witch, it says, I'm not gonna let somebody just walk over me anymore." - Jennifer Doman On Playing Small "You're playing small. Stop it... why do I play small to fit in? I never fit in...
