In this episode, we explore the powerful cosmic shifts occurring as we navigate the aftermath of the April Full Moon, Mercury's direct motion, and Venus's dance with Saturn. We also discuss Neptune's significant entry into Aries for the first time since April 1861, the impact of solar flares, and the ongoing expansion of consciousness. With the strong presence of Saturn energy and Venus in retrograde, this is a pivotal time to examine your relationship with love, money, beauty, and wealth. You may find yourself grappling with feelings of loneliness, separation, and lack. However, this raw energy invites us to co-create a new chapter for humanity—a "New Earth," as Eckhart Tolle describes, amidst this wave of consciousness expansion. The recent full moon has illuminated the shadows within us, revealing aspects that no longer serve our journey. As Neptune transitions into Aries, consider: What new dreams are you nurturing? Who are you becoming? These questions are essential to your Soul's journey. Now is the time to heighten your intuition and trust in your ability to read energy—both for yourself and others. Remember, not everything you see or hear in the news reflects the deeper truths within you. A spiritual practice can be a valuable ally in this process. By developing tools and techniques, you can cultivate the ability to turn inward, uncovering the answers that reside within. It's time to awaken your Spirit! If you're unsure about how to begin or want to expand your consciousness further, I invite you to schedule a complimentary Spiritual Upgrade Call with me. Together, we can explore the unique gifts and talents waiting to be uncovered. In this episode, I wanted to talk about Spiritual Awakenings. Many people are experiencing these, and not sure what is happening. A spiritual awakening is a profound realization or shift in consciousness that allows you to perceive and understand life from a deeper perspective. This experience often involves a heightened awareness of the self, the universe, and the interconnectedness of all beings. It can lead to a reevaluation of one's beliefs, often resulting in a greater sense of purpose and inner peace. During a spiritual awakening, individuals may experience various phenomena, such as increased intuition, a sense of unity with the world, and a desire for personal growth and transformation. This process can be triggered by various life events, such as trauma, loss, or significant changes, and can manifest in different ways for different people. Ultimately, it is about awakening to a more authentic version of oneself and recognizing the spiritual aspects of existence. It can often be described as a kundalini rising which is an awakening of the dormant spiritual energy believed to reside at the base of the spine, often depicted as a coiled serpent in yogic traditions. This energy is associated with profound spiritual growth and transformation. When awakened, Kundalini energy travels up the spine through the chakras, or energy centers, leading to heightened states of awareness, spiritual enlightenment, and personal transformation This is really important as the mind can start to take over and question everything taking you down the rabbit hole of information. And if you aren't prepared can very often call in lots of shadow energy especially right now with all the shifts in consciousness occuring. It's imporant to learn how to work with this through practices like yoga, meditation, and breathwork guided by someone like myself.. a spiritual teacher. Spiritual awakenings can happen in many ways..for me, it was from a crisis. I was lost, unsure of what to do, and I was searching for help. Talk therapy wasn't getting me any way beyond having someone to talk to which is helpful but I wasn't making progress. I had no belief in myself… until that one day when I was guided to a Spiritual teacher. That day was profound and is still in my memory. A friend had met twins at a new age shop in Roslyn, NY… Dreams East. She went to one twin and me to the other for spiritual counseling. I didn't know what that meant but I knew I needed help. We met, we talked about my life, she guided me with some breathing, and then did some hands-on energy. I left, got back in my car. As I sat there feeling a deep peace, something I hadn't felt in months, I heard a voice.. loud and clear.. saying, You are going to be ok. It was so loud I turned around to see if anyone was in the back seat of my car but it was my Spirit speaking to me.. a message from my soul. It was profound for me. Spiritual awakenings can be. And without the tools and techniques to help it can be frightening for many to have this kind of experience.You may experience various challenges and confusion. Here are some potential outcomes: 1. Emotional Turmoil 2. Identity Crisis 3. Physical Symptoms 4. Relationship Strain 5. Isolation 6. Heightened Sensitivity 7. Confusion and Doubt 8. Resistance to Change 9. Disconnection from Reality 10. Search for Answers Awareness and understanding of the spiritual awakening process can help you navigate these challenges more effectively, providing clarity and context for your experiences. Seeking support from knowledgeable practitioners, like myself, can also be beneficial during this transformative time. So what happens if you don't seek guidance? Many things… you can go down the wrong path… get caught in webs that misguide you… feel lost… maybe even a little crazy… you can take in too much information… not know your energy from others…this happens alot… Which is why it is so important to find someone to help you along this awakening. What I would like to do today is offer a meditation that grounds your energy and helps you to expand the radiant light body so that your energy flows and isn't stuck along this awakening channel. It is time to step forward. Leave the old energy behind, and create more abundance. Don't isolate. Renew your faith. Look up. Look to the stars. Call in your Star People. They're there right now. Let go of all the old drama and the old mindset. It is a choice. Which will you feed? I choose the awakening. I choose to hold and vibrate and shine my light out. How about you? Reach out if you have questions. Schedule a Spiritual Upgrade Call with me. Let's talk about where you are and how I can help through my mentoring programs. So much change is going on. Don't think yourself crazy. Really. Thanks again for listening. Be sure to leave me a review. It does help the podcast be found. I would greatly appreciate that. To your Spirit, Terri Expand!

Spring has officially arrived, bringing with it a burst of life—green buds, blooming flowers, and vibrant dogwoods and cherries are all around. It's a beautiful reminder of growth and transformation, especially as we emerge from the energetic eclipse portal that has been influencing us recently. On a brighter note, Mercury will soon end its retrograde phase and go direct on April 7th. This marks a significant shift, not only in the cosmos but within ourselves and the global political landscape. These changes ripple through every aspect of our lives, urging us to embrace the momentum. Astrologers have been buzzing about the cosmic shifts we're experiencing, particularly with Neptune moving into Aries—the first sign of the Zodiac. This pairing of energies is something we haven't seen in over 150 years, and it signifies a profound awakening for many. I'm excited to announce that my astrologer from New York, Armand Diaz, will be joining us this month to share insights on these transformative energies. This cosmic transition is opening doors to expanded consciousness, a theme we've explored with our guests on the show. The energy of Neptune is here to inspire and propel us towards our soul's purpose, bridging gaps and unlocking new possibilities in how we think, live, and make choices. As we navigate this journey, courage will be our guiding force. It allows our hearts to open and empowers us to take bold steps forward. With Aries' fiery energy, it's time to embrace this shift and break free from any self-imposed limitations. Reflecting on the collective impact, it's worth noting that the last time Neptune transitioned into Aries was between 1861 and 1875, a period marked by the American Civil War and significant reimagining of identity and freedom. While we're not facing a civil war, the essence of that struggle for equality resonates today. I believe it's vital for us to hold space for one another during these transformative times. Are you feeling overwhelmed or resistant to change? It's essential to recognize that this higher consciousness is here to help us all evolve. Embrace the shifts, and allow yourself to explore new ways of thinking, learning, and connecting. With all this change in the cosmos, I've noticed an increase in people reaching out with questions about the signs they're experiencing. If you're feeling uncertain or questioning your intuition, know that you're not alone. Learning to tune into your own intuition and accessing your Akashic records can provide clarity and understanding on your soul's journey. In this episode, we'll explore various tools and techniques to enhance your intuitive abilities. Whether it's Reiki, tarot, or working with crystals, these practices can help you deepen your connection to your soul's wisdom and navigate your spiritual path. As we embrace this season of change and growth, let's remember that our souls are here to evolve. The accumulation of wealth and material possessions isn't the ultimate goal; rather, it's about understanding our true essence and purpose. Join me as we delve into these themes and uncover the wisdom that can guide us through these times of transformation. I'm eager to hear your thoughts on how we can collectively raise our consciousness and embrace the energies of the star people. As we move into April, expect a slowdown in some of the cosmic transits, but with Mercury coming out of retrograde, communication will become smoother. This is the perfect time to plant the seeds of intention for the new season ahead. If you're curious about your own energy and want to learn more about the messages you're receiving, consider scheduling a complimentary spiritual upgrade call with me. Let's explore the insights you're encountering and how to establish a spiritual practice that resonates with you. Thank you for joining me today! Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and growth together.
As we head into the month of April, Inside Lacrosse has released its first Bracketology presented by Get Reps. Based upon RPI and Strength of Schedule, I wasn't surprised at the top four (Princeton, Maryland, Notre Dame and North Carolina), but it was something to see the nation's No. 1 team, Cornell, as IL's seventh best resume and the current third-ranked team, Ohio State, on the outside of the bubble. But hey, that's why we play the games! This week there are five Top 20 matchups and one delicious Top 10 matchup for your viewing enjoyment. D-Fly & Dixie are here to get you ready. And as teams battle the week-to-week storms of April conference play, don't forget that famous old expression, “April showers bring May prowess.” Ok, maybe I just made that up, but the teams that weather and grow from conference battles always set themselves up best for the postseason.

As this podcast airs, we have moved through the Lunar Eclipse, and the Spring Equinox and now we are in the New Moon Solar Eclipse energy all while navigating Mercury retrograde and a Venus retrograde too. The planetary shifts are aligning to create a wave of revolutionary energy, especially with the bold and passionate Aries influence. The unique spiritual energy vibration, is characterized by renewal, transformation, and introspection. Eclipses often signify powerful changes and can serve as catalysts for new beginnings.. The spiritual energy of Aries during a New Moon Solar Eclipse is typically dynamic, assertive, and transformative. Aries is known for its pioneering spirit, enthusiasm, and a strong desire for new beginnings. Here's how this energy can manifest: New Beginnings: The New Moon symbolizes fresh starts, and with Aries' influence, there's a powerful push to initiate projects, set goals, and embrace change. This is a time to take bold steps towards your aspirations. Courage and Confidence: Aries energy encourages individuals to face challenges head-on. The eclipse can amplify this courage, providing the strength to overcome fears and take risks. Introspection and Reflection: While Aries is action-oriented, the eclipse encourages a moment of reflection on what you truly desire. It's a good time to evaluate your goals and ensure they align with your true self. Emotional Release: Eclipses can also bring to light hidden emotions. This Aries energy may prompt a release of pent-up feelings, leading to personal growth and empowerment. Embracing Change: Aries thrives on movement and progress, making this an ideal time to embrace changes in your life, whether that's in relationships, career, or personal development. Overall, the spiritual energy of Aries during the New Moon Solar Eclipse invites you to harness your inner fire, embrace new opportunities, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth. Eclipses hit on the nodes and these have been on the Aries/Libra axis.. think back to the periods between.. 2014-2015 204-2006, 1995-1997. What was going on for you… what are the similarities… what are the old imprints? This can help you to see any reoccurring patterns and what needs to be released in order to set you free.. and open up to this new paradigm we are finding ourselves in. This eclipse brings a powerful shift in perception, leadership, and influence. This is not just about expressing opinions, it's about how your mental frameworks shape reality and how we choose to lead with them. The eclipse initiates a collective upgrade in thinking. It's a shift from opinioned noise to true visionary wisdom. This marks a new beginning in how we share ideas, lead with insight, and embrace evolving truths. Be willing to rethink, rewrite, and reimagine This eclipse isn't just about speaking your truth - it's about leading with wisdom. So how can you work with this energy? Let go of outdated mental constructs… I know I was triggered this weekend and it exploded.. it took me a minute or two.. but I did realize I was operating in a PTSD energy. Thankfully I was able to realize it… and apologize but damage was done. An awakening for sure.. a place I don't want to carry.. Share your deep thoughts with those who care about you. Balance your energy. Get outside Allow truth to evolve rather than forces rigid beliefs on yourself.. be able to admit when youare wrong.. and let go. Trust .. trust the process of shifting perception. Another really important aspect of this portal opening is one of expanded consciousness. I have regularly been receiving messages from my Lemurian guides who are continually talking to me about the ability for all of us to connect … galactically.. universally with our star people. This expanded consciousness is one that opens us up to a higher state of living in our everyday lives. Pause with me as I offer a channeled meditation from my Lemurian Star People for this New Moon Solar Eclipse energy. How can you take this out into the world right now? How can you open up bigger and bigger to your path? I think that's the biggest message I recall right here, right now, using the higher self. Get out of the mind. Have a spiritual practice and live that spiritual practice each and every day. Wear your crystals. Do your practice. Listen to music at night. This is the medicine we need right now, right here. If you don't know how to start, schedule a Spiritual Upgrade Breakthrough call with me, and let's chat. I can get you started. I have the tools, the teachings, and the mentoring experience. There are so many any ways to connect with me. I'll be down teaching Reiki at the AMTA. If you're a massage therapist, come join us May 1st. I'll be in Atlanta with Expand! I'll be part of their storytelling panels, talking about my experience through past lives with Freddie Silva's book, Portals of Energy. I have a Reiki Mastery Retreat coming up in June. Be sure to check out my website for all the details, all my offerings. https://terriannheiman.com/ I do hikes on Sundays. I've got a book club going on, "The Book of Joy." So many ways to engage your Spirit with the body, mind, and emotions. Big news coming up I have a new show, Soul Messages with Ethereal TV, soon to be launched on streaming TV. So excited to bring that forward for you. Reach out. I am available. I am here. This is my passion and my purpose to help humanity awaken. Thank you for listening. To your Spirit, Terri

The Ski Podcast is a UK-based podcast hosted by Iain Martin.With different guests every episode, we cover all aspects of skiing and snowboarding from resorts to racing, Ski Sunday to slush.In 2021, we were voted ‘Best Wintersports Podcast‘ in the Sports Podcast Awards. In 2023, we were shortlisted as ‘Best Broadcast Programme' in the Travel Media Awards.Why I interviewed himWe did a swap. Iain hosted me on his show in January (I also hosted Iain in January, but since The Storm sometimes moves at the pace of mammal gestation, here we are at the end of March; Martin published our episode the day after we recorded it).But that's OK (according to me), because our conversation is evergreen. Martin is embedded in EuroSki the same way that I cycle around U.S. AmeriSki. That we wander from similarly improbable non-ski outposts – Brighton, England and NYC – is a funny coincidence. But what interested me most about a potential podcast conversation is the Encyclopedia EuroSkiTannica stored in Martin's brain.I don't understand skiing in Europe. It is too big, too rambling, too interconnected, too above-treeline, too transit-oriented, too affordable, too absent the Brobot ‘tude that poisons so much of the American ski experience. The fact that some French idiot is facing potential jail time for launching a snowball into a random grandfather's skull (filming the act and posting it on TikTok, of course) only underscores my point: in America, we would cancel the grandfather for not respecting the struggle so obvious in the boy's act of disobedience. In a weird twist for a ski writer, I am much more familiar with summer Europe than winter Europe. I've skied the continent a couple of times, but warm-weather cross-continental EuroTreks by train and by car have occupied months of my life. When I try to understand EuroSki, my brain short-circuits. I tease the Euros because each European ski area seems to contain between two and 27 distinct ski areas, because the trail markings are the wrong color, because they speak in the strange code of the “km” and “cm” - but I'm really making fun of myself for Not Getting It. Martin gets it. And he good-naturedly walks me through a series of questions that follow this same basic pattern: “In America, we charge $109 for a hamburger that tastes like it's been pulled out of a shipping container that went overboard in 1944. But I hear you have good and cheap food in Europe – true?” I don't mind sounding like a d*****s if the result is good information for all of us, and thankfully I achieved both of those things on this podcast.What we talked aboutThe European winter so far; how a UK-based skier moves back and forth to the Alps; easy car-free travel from the U.S. directly to Alps ski areas; is ski traffic a thing in Europe?; EuroSki 101; what does “ski area” mean in Europe; Euro snow pockets; climate change realities versus media narratives in Europe; what to make of ski areas closing around the Alps; snowmaking in Europe; comparing the Euro stereotype of the leisurely skier to reality; an aging skier population; Euro liftline queuing etiquette and how it mirrors a nation's driving culture; “the idea that you wouldn't bring the bar down is completely alien to me; I mean everybody brings the bar down on the chairlift”; why an Epic or Ikon Pass may not be your best option to ski in Europe; why lift ticket prices are so much cheaper in Europe than in the U.S.; Most consumers “are not even aware” that Vail has started purchasing Swiss resorts; ownership structure at Euro resorts; Vail to buy Verbier?; multimountain pass options in Europe; are Euros buying Epic and Ikon to ski locally or to travel to North America?; must-ski European ski areas; Euro ski-guide culture; and quirky ski areas.What I got wrongWe discussed Epic Pass' lodging requirement for Verbier, which is in effect for this winter, but which Vail removed for the 2025-26 ski season.Why now was a good time for this interviewI present to you, again, the EuroSki Chart – a list of all 26 European ski areas that have aligned themselves with a U.S.-based multi-mountain pass:The large majority of these have joined Ski NATO (a joke, not a political take Brah), in the past five years. And while purchasing a U.S. megapass is not necessary to access EuroHills in the same way it is to ski the Rockies – doing so may, in fact, be counterproductive – just the notion of having access to these Connecticut-sized ski areas via a pass that you're buying anyway is enough to get people considering a flight east for their turns.And you know what? They should. At this point, a mass abandonment of the Mountain West by the tourists that sustain it is the only thing that may drive the region to seriously reconsider the robbery-by-you-showed-up-here-all-stupid lift ticket prices, car-centric transit infrastructure, and sclerotic building policies that are making American mountain towns impossibly expensive and inconvenient to live in or to visit. In many cases, a EuroSkiTrip costs far less than an AmeriSki trip - especially if you're not the sort to buy a ski pass in March 2025 so that you can ski in February 2026. And though the flights will generally cost more, the logistics of airport-to-ski-resort-and-back generally make more sense. In Europe they have trains. In Europe those trains stop in villages where you can walk to your hotel and then walk to the lifts the next morning. In Europe you can walk up to the ticket window and trade a block of cheese for a lift ticket. In Europe they put the bar down. In Europe a sandwich, brownie, and a Coke doesn't cost $152. And while you can spend $152 on a EuroLunch, it probably means that you drank seven liters of wine and will need a sled evac to the village.“Oh so why don't you just go live there then if it's so perfect?”Shut up, Reductive Argument Bro. Everyplace is great and also sucks in its own special way. I'm just throwing around contrasts.There are plenty of things I don't like about EuroSki: the emphasis on pistes, the emphasis on trams, the often curt and indifferent employees, the “injury insurance” that would require a special session of the European Union to pay out a claim. And the lack of trees. Especially the lack of trees. But more families are opting for a week in Europe over the $25,000 Experience of a Lifetime in the American West, and I totally understand why.A quote often attributed to Winston Churchill reads, “You can always trust the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all the alternatives.” Unfortunately, it appears to be apocryphal. But I wish it wasn't. Because it's true. And I do think we'll eventually figure out that there is a continent-wide case study in how to retrofit our mountain towns for a more cost- and transit-accessible version of lift-served skiing. But it's gonna take a while.Podcast NotesOn U.S. ski areas opening this winter that haven't done so “in a long time”A strong snow year has allowed at least 11 U.S. ski areas to open after missing one or several winters, including:* Cloudmont, Alabama (yes I'm serious)* Pinnacle, Maine* Covington and Sault Seal, ropetows outfit in Michigan's Upper Peninsula* Norway Mountain, Michigan – resurrected by new owner after multi-year closure* Tower Mountain, a ropetow bump in Michigan's Lower Peninsula* Bear Paw, Montana* Hatley Pointe, North Carolina opened under new ownership, who took last year off to gut-renovate the hill* Warner Canyon, Oregon, an all-natural-snow, volunteer-run outfit, opened in December after a poor 2023-24 snow year.* Bellows Falls ski tow, a molehill run by the Rockingham Recreation in Vermont, opened for the first time in five years after a series of snowy weeks across New England* Lyndon Outing Club, another volunteer-run ropetow operation in Vermont, sat out last winter with low snow but opened this yearOn the “subway map” of transit-accessible Euro skiingI mean this is just incredible:The map lives on Martin's Ski Flight Free site, which encourages skiers to reduce their carbon footprints. I am not good at doing this, largely because such a notion is a fantasy in America as presently constructed.But just imagine a similar system in America. The nation is huge, of course, and we're not building a functional transcontinental passenger railroad overnight (or maybe ever). But there are several areas of regional density where such networks could, at a minimum, connect airports or city centers with destination ski areas, including:* Reno Airport (from the east), and the San Francisco Bay area (to the west) to the ring of more than a dozen Tahoe resorts (or at least stops at lake- or interstate-adjacent Sugar Bowl, Palisades, Homewood, Northstar, Mt. Rose, Diamond Peak, and Heavenly)* Denver Union Station and Denver airport to Loveland, Keystone, Breck, Copper, Vail, Beaver Creek, and - a stretch - Aspen and Steamboat, with bus connections to A-Basin, Ski Cooper, and Sunlight* SLC airport east to Snowbird, Alta, Solitude, Brighton, Park City, and Deer Valley, and north to Snowbasin and Powder Mountain* Penn Station in Manhattan up along Vermont's Green Mountain Spine: Mount Snow, Stratton, Bromley, Killington, Pico, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, Bolton Valley, Stowe, Smugglers' Notch, Jay Peak, with bus connections to Magic and Middlebury Snowbowl* Boston up the I-93 corridor: Tenney, Waterville Valley, Loon, Cannon, and Bretton Woods, with a spur to Conway and Cranmore, Attitash, Wildcat, and Sunday River; bus connections to Black New Hampshire, Sunapee, Gunstock, Ragged, and Mount AbramYes, there's the train from Denver to Winter Park (and ambitions to extend the line to Steamboat), which is terrific, but placing that itsy-bitsy spur next to the EuroSystem and saying “look at our neato train” is like a toddler flexing his toy jet to the pilots as he boards a 757. And they smile and say, “Whoa there, Shooter! Now have a seat while we burn off 4,000 gallons of jet fuel accelerating this f****r to 500 miles per hour.”On the number of ski areas in EuropeI've detailed how difficult it is to itemize the 500-ish active ski areas in America, but the task is nearly incomprehensible in Europe, which has as many as eight times the number of ski areas. Here are a few estimates:* Skiresort.info counts 3,949 ski areas (as of today; the number changes daily) in Europe: list | map* Wikipedia doesn't provide a number, but it does have a very long list* Statista counts a bit more than 2,200, but their list excludes most of Eastern EuropeOn Euro non-ski media and climate change catastropheOf these countless European ski areas, a few shutter or threaten to each year. The resulting media cycle is predictable and dumb. In The Snow concisely summarizes how this pattern unfolds by analyzing coverage of the recent near loss of L'Alpe du Grand Serre, France (emphasis mine):A ski resort that few people outside its local vicinity had ever heard of was the latest to make headlines around the world a month ago as it announced it was going to cease ski operations.‘French ski resort in Alps shuts due to shortage of snow' reported The Independent, ‘Another European ski resort is closing due to lack of snow' said Time Out, The Mirror went for ”Devastation” as another European ski resort closes due to vanishing snow‘ whilst The Guardian did a deeper dive with, ‘Fears for future of ski tourism as resorts adapt to thawing snow season.' The story also appeared in dozens more publications around the world.The only problem is that the ski area in question, L'Alpe du Grand Serre, has decided it isn't closing its ski area after all, at least not this winter.Instead, after the news of the closure threat was publicised, the French government announced financial support, as did the local municipality of La Morte, and a number of major players in the ski industry. In addition, a public crowdfunding campaign raised almost €200,000, prompting the officials who made the original closure decision to reconsider. Things will now be reassessed in a year's time.There has not been the same global media coverage of the news that L'Alpe du Grand Serre isn't closing after all.It's not the first resort where money has been found to keep slopes open after widespread publicity of a closure threat. La Chapelle d'Abondance was apparently on the rocks in 2020 but will be fully open this winter and similarly Austria's Heiligenblut which was said to be at risk of permanently closure in the summer will be open as normal.Of course, ski areas do permanently close, just like any business, and climate change is making the multiple challenges that smaller, lower ski areas face, even more difficult. But in the near-term bigger problems are often things like justifying spends on essential equipment upgrades, rapidly increasing power costs and changing consumer habits that are the bigger problems right now. The latter apparently exacerbated by media stories implying that ski holidays are under severe threat by climate change.These increasingly frequent stories always have the same structure of focusing on one small ski area that's in trouble, taken from the many thousands in the Alps that few regular skiers have heard of. The stories imply (by ensuring that no context is provided), that this is a major resort and typical of many others. Last year some reports implied, again by avoiding giving any context, that a ski area in trouble that is actually close to Rome, was in the Alps.This is, of course, not to pretend that climate change does not pose an existential threat to ski holidays, but just to say that ski resorts have been closing for many decades for multiple reasons and that most of these reports do not give all the facts or paint the full picture.On no cars in ZermattIf the Little Cottonwood activists really cared about the environment in their precious canyon, they wouldn't be advocating for alternate rubber-wheeled transit up to Alta and Snowbird – they'd be demanding that the road be closed and replaced by a train or gondola or both, and that the ski resorts become a pedestrian-only enclave dotted with only as many electric vehicles as it took to manage the essential business of the towns and the ski resorts.If this sounds improbable, just look to Zermatt, which has banned gas cars for decades. Skiers arrive by train. Nearly 6,000 people live there year-round. It is amazing what humans can build when the car is considered as an accessory to life, rather than its central organizing principle.On driving in EuropeDriving in Europe is… something else. I've driven in, let's see: Iceland, Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, and Montenegro. That last one is the scariest but they're all a little scary. Drivers' speeds seem to be limited by nothing other than physics, passing on blind curves is common even on mountain switchbacks, roads outside of major arterials often collapse into one lane, and Euros for some reason don't believe in placing signs at intersections to indicate street names. Thank God for GPS. I'll admit that it's all a little thrilling once the disorientation wears off, and there are things to love about driving in Europe: roundabouts are used in place of traffic lights wherever possible, the density of cars tends to be less (likely due to the high cost of gas and plentiful mass transit options), sprawl tends to be more contained, the limited-access highways are extremely well-kept, and the drivers on those limited-access highways actually understand what the lanes are for (slow, right; fast, left).It may seem contradictory that I am at once a transit advocate and an enthusiastic road-tripper. But I've lived in New York City, home of the United States' best mass-transit system, for 23 years, and have owned a car for 19 of them. There is a logic here: in general, I use the subway or my bicycle to move around the city, and the car to get out of it (this is the only way to get to most ski areas in the region, at least midweek). I appreciate the options, and I wish more parts of America offered a better mix.On chairs without barsIt's a strange anachronism that the United States is still home to hundreds of chairlifts that lack safety bars. ANSI standards now require them on new lift builds (as far as I can tell), but many chairlifts built without bars from the 1990s and earlier appear to have been grandfathered into our contemporary system. This is not the case in the Eastern U.S. where, as far as I'm aware, every chairlift with the exception of a handful in Pennsylvania have safety bars – New York and many New England states require them by law (and require riders to use them). Things get dicey in the Midwest, which has, as a region, been far slower to upgrade its lift fleets than bigger mountains in the East and West. Many ski areas, however, have retrofit their old lifts with bars – I was surprised to find them on the lifts at Sundown, Iowa; Chestnut, Illinois; and Mont du Lac, Wisconsin, for example. Vail and Alterra appear to retrofit all chairlifts with safety bars once they purchase a ski area. But many ski areas across the Mountain West still spin old chairs, including, surprisingly, dozens of mountains in California, Oregon, and Washington, states that tends to have more East Coast-ish outlooks on safety and regulation.On Compagnie des AlpesAccording to Martin, the closest thing Europe has to a Vail- or Alterra-style conglomerate is Compagnie des Alpes, which operates (but does not appear to own) 10 ski areas in the French Alps, and holds ownership stakes in five more. It's kind of an amazing list:Here's the company's acquisition timeline, which includes the ski areas, along with a bunch of amusement parks and hotels:Clearly the path of least resistance to a EuroVail conflagration would be to shovel this pile of coal into the furnace. Martin referenced Tignes' forthcoming exit from the group, to join forces with ski resort Sainte-Foy on June 1, 2026 – teasing a smaller potential EuroVail acquisition. Tignes, however, would not be the first resort to exit CdA's umbrella – Les 2 Alpes left in 2020.On EuroSkiPassesThe EuroMegaPass market is, like EuroSkiing itself, unintelligible to Americans (at least to this American). There are, however, options. Martin offers the Swiss-centric Magic Pass as perhaps the most prominent. It offers access to 92 ski areas (map). You are probably expecting me to make a chart. I will not be making a chart.S**t I need to publish this article before I cave to my irrepressible urge to make a chart.OK this podcast is already 51 days old do not make a chart you moron.I think we're good here.I hope.I will also not be making a chart to track the 12 ski resorts accessible on Austria's Ski Plus City Pass Stubai Innsbruck Unlimited Freedom Pass.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

As this podcast airs, we find ourselves in a powerful energy portal, sandwiched between two eclipses and navigating Mercury retrograde. The planetary shifts are aligning to create a wave of revolutionary energy, especially with the bold and passionate Aries influence we felt during the Spring Equinox. This transformative energy is encouraging us to stand firm in our truth. Amidst the surrounding fear and controversy—what to believe and what not to believe—we're given a unique opportunity to reflect on our own beliefs and the changes we wish to see in the world. It's time to take actionable steps toward the transformation that is calling us. Reflecting on the 1960s, we witnessed the pre-dawn of the Age of Aquarius, characterized by protests, activism, and powerful music. Today, we are in a new age, and it's crucial to listen to the signs around us. Ignoring them only amplifies their intensity. My work focuses on guiding individuals to connect with their spirit—not through religion, but by tapping into the energy within our hearts and souls. This inner evolution begins one person at a time, creating a ripple effect that allows others to evolve as well. As we emerge from winter—a time for honoring wisdom—we're now ready to plant new seeds of intention. This inner work cannot be about merely following others; it must stem from our own truths. Holding onto our beliefs and radiating that light is essential. Establishing a spiritual practice can sharpen our focus. Research shows the average person has less than 2.9 seconds of attention. Learning to center ourselves, asking meaningful questions, and spending time in nature are critical practices right now. Energy Tools can assist us in connecting with our subtle energy bodies, helping us transcend mere mental engagement. It's important to address all layers of our being: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. While many of us understand the need for physical care and mental clarity through therapy, we must also recognize the significance of our emotional and spiritual health. Just because we can't see energy doesn't mean it isn't there. By trusting and engaging with it, we can elevate our vibrations, releasing stress, fear, and overwhelm, and embracing love, joy, and peace. This shift leads to a happier, more fulfilling life. If you're unsure where to begin, I invite you to schedule a spiritual upgrade or breakthrough call with me. Let's discuss your current situation and explore the steps you can take on your transformative journey. I'll include the link in the show notes. In today's episode, I'm thrilled to delve into the incredible insights from the new book, "Activating Our 12 Stranded DNA," by my guest, Ruslana Remennikova. The concepts she shares are truly fascinating, prompting me to slow down and fully grasp the depth of her message about working with our DNA. What does 12-Stranded DNA mean? It encompasses sound frequency, water consciousness, generational trauma, and the transformative ability to shift your DNA to unlock your spiritual potential. This journey allows us to connect deeply within ourselves, aiding not only our own healing but also contributing to the healing of the planet and addressing the past, present, and future of our personal journeys. Ruslana Remennikova is a former research scientist for the Fortune 100-ranked company ThermoFisher Scientific where she worked with vaccine sciences. In a 2016 leap of faith for a more meaningful life, she left the world of corporate science to later open a sound medicine practice while writing her first book. She is the founder of Songbird Science, a research company exploring the intersection of frequency, consciousness, and wellness. Her sound medicine practice has integrated into VCU/MCV healthcare system, where it continues to promote holistic healing and well-being. Born in Ukraine, she currently resides in central Virginia.

As this podcast airs, we find ourselves in the eclipse season, which brings a mix of highs and lows, unexpected events, or perhaps a sense of calm. That's the intriguing nature of eclipses—planets are in motion, and the sun, moon, and earth are aligning. The stars are shining bright, and the days are becoming longer. There's a lot of cosmic energy at play. We are also experiencing a shift in consciousness as we transition through different ages, known as Yugas. What does this mean for you? How can you become more aware and willing to expand your consciousness? It's important to step out of your comfort zone and let go of the things that keep you stagnant. I understand how tempting it is to cling to what feels familiar. It's easy to think that if we just hold on tight, everything will be okay. This is similar to the Four of Pentacles in the Tarot, where we believe that holding onto everything ensures stability. However, life doesn't work that way. There's so much more on the horizon that we may not see, but we can feel it, trust it, and know it's there. Over the weekend, I drove eight hours to Florida to spend time with my family, spanning several generations—actually, I think we had four generations there! It was a wonderful experience filled with laughter and connection, as we all come from different backgrounds. Being with family is comforting and loving, and it felt great to share my experiences and incorporate the lessons from our family history into my personal growth. However, what I really want to highlight is that during my drive, I had the chance to listen to numerous episodes of the Telepathy Tapes. I also enjoyed listening to Brooke Shields, who was fantastic, and I highly recommend her book. The Telepathy Tapes are fascinating. The research discussed in them isn't new; it's been ongoing, but much has been revealed that goes beyond conventional limits. This reminds me of Dr. Brian Weiss and his groundbreaking work with hypnosis and past-life regression, which he initially kept quiet. Similarly, there are children with extraordinary gifts that show we can expand our consciousness, even as societal pressures try to limit us. I have been teaching this work for a long time, and I feel a strong inner knowing that this is important for all of us. If you've felt a desire to learn more about your intuition or understand empathic energy, I offer classes and mentoring to help you develop these skills. It starts with you saying, "Yes, I want to learn." Perhaps you have a child who struggles to communicate but shows signs of creativity, sensitivity, or special talents. Now is the time to explore and train these skills to enhance communication, love, and empowerment for everyone. We just experienced a full moon lunar eclipse. As many of you know, full moons signify the illumination of our feelings followed by a release. Lunar eclipses amplify this energy significantly. This month's Virgo lunar eclipse highlights areas where we may be overly critical of ourselves and others, hindering our emotional growth. We need to recognize that perfection doesn't exist. To evolve, we must let go of Virgo's heavy traits and embrace its grounding qualities, like intelligence, strategy, and organization. These astrological shifts can lead to psychological disruptions on an individual level, but they also impact world leaders and can trigger unexpected collective events. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon, symbolizing fated developments and deep introspection that can lead to healing. Our shadow side requires attention, and we should make space for significant change and liberation instead of ignoring our instincts for sudden shifts. This highlights the importance of having a spiritual practice right now. A spiritual practice can help you release energy that doesn't belong to you, center yourself, and ground your energy. There are many techniques you can incorporate into your daily life. If you need help getting started, consider scheduling a Soul Session to explore what you might be holding onto that keeps you feeling stuck. If you're unsure about what a Soul Session entails, you can also schedule a complimentary Spiritual Upgrade Breakthrough call with me, and we can discuss how to move forward. We've experienced the eclipses, we're coming out of Mercury retrograde, and we've passed through the Equinox. Now, we have one more significant event: a solar eclipse and new moon in Aries. This is monumental—it's a time of revolutionary energy and creation. We're being asked to tap into that part of ourselves that yearns for change and growth. What inside you is evolving and shifting? Even if you don't yet see the results, that's okay. Embrace that feeling and raise your vibration for this new moon and solar eclipse. This is a crucial time for setting intentions. This month has been busy, filled with many internal changes. As you create, remember that part of you is emerging, ready to make those shifts. We are holding space for this light. This month is packed with information, transformation, and evolution—it's a time of breaking down old structures and beginning to build anew. There are significant shifts happening in the cosmos, the etheric realm, and the spiritual world that may not be covered in the news, but they are important. So, practice your spiritual skills and learn how to hold this light daily. When you feel discouraged—as we all do sometimes—just take a breath, acknowledge those feelings, and then return to your dreams and the miracles you wish to manifest. This is how we hold the light and shift consciousness. Let's take a moment to process all of this and open ourselves up to a meditation. I'll draw some cards to help guide you through this transition. https://naturalforcesstudio.as.me/complimentary

The days are lengthening, and nature is beginning to bloom in my area. However, we're still experiencing significant fluctuations—one day it's warm, the next it's chilly. On a cosmic level, we've entered eclipse season and are now in the shadow of Mercury retrograde. What a time of transition and transformation! Take a moment to breathe and absorb that. Everything feels stirred up right now. There's a lot of disruption as old structures break down. Are you feeling overwhelmed by these changes? It's easy to get caught up in the news, protests, and the general disrespect we see around us. But we mustn't let ourselves be swept away by the media. Instead, we should focus on our inner light and connect with our souls. It's crucial to support one another during this time and resist the urge to isolate. Feeling separate and alone can be particularly challenging for empaths. It's tempting to want to hide under the covers, and I know there have been many mornings when staying in bed felt like the best option. Can you relate to that? Many of my clients, who are also empaths, have expressed similar feelings. As we work together, they find that developing certain skills can be incredibly beneficial. I recently had a Reiki session that felt heavenly; the stress and heaviness just melted away. My clients are experiencing that same sense of lightness and peace, feeling more centered. When was the last time you had an energy session? This seasonal transition is the perfect opportunity to clear out old energy. If you don't take the time to release it, it will continue to build up. Why carry it into spring, especially when this month is filled with shifts and unexpected energies? I'm here to help! My schedule is open for energy sessions, both in person and online. And for all the empaths out there, I'm excited to announce the return of my MasterClass: The Aura of an Empath. In this class, we'll explore the intriguing world of empaths and their unique aura blueprint. We'll discuss the different layers of an empath's aura and how these influence their interactions. We'll also cover techniques to protect and cleanse your aura, enabling you to navigate the world more easily and maintain balance. Empaths are essential, but we need to cultivate strong energy boundaries! It's important to empathize with others without absorbing their energy. So, join us as we dive into the aura of an empath and learn how to embrace this gift while establishing healthy boundaries. Not sure where to begin with your energy, the stress, the struggles you are feeling.. perhaps it is your Spirit speaking to you, telling you it's time to wake up, to make some shifts. I have a piece of artwork as you walk into my healing studio that says.. "Most peple don't know there are angels whose only job is to make sure you dont gt oo comforable & fall asleep & miss your life". Brian Andreas. When you start going within and connecting to your soul and your spirit, you will find your answers. Want to break free? What to learn ways to help you find new solutions, feel connected to your purpose in life? Schedule a complementary Spiritual Upgrade Breakthrough call with me and let's talk about the #1 thing that is keeping you stuck and what you can do to break free and create the shifts you want to see for this new season ahead. Click here. In today's epsiode, we take a look at two of my favorite things… astrology and oracles! My guest is Jonathon Waller.

Welcome to another episode of Tahoe TAP, where we bring you the latest news, stories, and personalities shaping life in the Sierra. Your hosts, Mike Peron and Rob Galloway, are here to keep it local, lively, and always Tahoe-focused. In this episode, we're diving into one of the biggest topics in Lake Tahoe (Homewood's new development of a village and gondola) with a true industry veteran: Andy Buckley, VP and General Manager of Homewood Mountain Resort. Andy has worked in the ski industry for the last forty years, starting as a guide in the French Alpine Resort of Flaine in '84. Since then, he has worked in various operations at Vail Mountain, Colorado, then moved to Northstar, CA to work on the Village Development in 2002. He oversaw the construction of the temporary and permanent skier service buildings and retail components of the new village, plus the iconic summer and winter operations at Northstar from 2007-2020. In 2020 he started Hilltop Consulting and Development and chiefly focused on summer development projects for Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Deer Valley and Palisades Tahoe. In 2023 he joined the Homewood team to oversee operations and guide operational development, becoming GM in late 2024.
There's a vision Australia and New Zealand can help ease each other's seasonal electricity woes. Company Taslink is proposing a massive underground trans-Tasman cable, allowing surplus power to be transferred between the two countries. It estimates the link would increase our power grid's capacity by about 40%. Co-Director Richard Homewood told Mike Hosking it would have meant 20% lower power prices last winter. He says Australia has the opposite problem, with power outages during the hot summer days, when we have a surplus. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the last new moon of Winter. This New Moon offers a sacred opportunity to pause and realign. It is a time to be still. It's a time to consider where you have been this winter, the spaces you inhabit, and the energies you allow into your life. As we allow the end of winter to unfold, we begin to notice and to cultivate a greater sensitivity to our inner and outer worlds during this New Moon phase Find opportunities to engage in meaningful dialogue with others. and express your innermost thoughts and feelings with clarity and empathy. I In a world where emotions often run high, cultivating emotional intelligence is fundamental. Pisces is a water sign, and is known for its deep emotional intelligence and its ability to perceive beyond the surface. Under the influence of this sign's energy of sensitivity and connection, this New Moon asks all of us to tap into our intuition, creativity, and empathy. It invites us to dream and imagine, to trust in what we cannot yet see, and to allow our emotions to guide us. This is the perfect time to set intentions for this transition of energy.. winter to spring.. it is one of the bigget seasonal transtions that we go through.. so are you aligned with your spiritual and emotional well-being?

A quick note: the discussions we have today aren't meant to serve as prescriptions and may touch on topics that aren't legal in many places, so please proceed with caution. I'm thrilled to welcome my guest, Wade Richardson, author of "The Psychedelic Mindmeld," which explores the fascinating realm of telepathically sharing consciousness. Throughout our conversation, we'll delve into psychedelics, telepathy, and the healing of relationships. This episode is definitely not for the faint-hearted or the novice; we're looking at the integration of experiences and the journey of opening up the mind. Wade Richardson is a psychonaut with more than fifteen years of experience participating in and facilitating hundreds of psychedelic sessions.

This Valentine's Day week, we're bringing you a couple's story that is rare and raw. From our Homewood community, JT and Katie Thornbury openly share about the profound emptiness in their lives and marriage prior to knowing Christ—and how they miraculously came to know Him, together, well into their 30s. For years, troubled pasts and past experiences influenced how JT and Katie approached life and faith. Plus, striving in their careers and in their parenting meant they usually focused on themselves and not on each other. But through a series of hard circumstances and intense searching, JT and Katie found their hearts and marriage healed by Him. What better way to celebrate Valentine's than to cheer on the Thornburys and their saved marriage? And even better, their secured salvation in Christ! In this episode, you will learn: –Without Christ's loving direction, all areas of your life will bend toward emptiness. –Seek Him and you will find Him; He can use your doubts to draw you to Himself. –Even after we come to know Christ, every day requires surrender and dependence.

We notice this in our weather patterns, the political arena, and even the transitions of everyday life. How does it show up for you? For me, as we discuss this topic in today's episode, it manifests in the differences between being in the 5th dimension versus the humanness of the 3rd dimension. It's about finding ways to balance. We are coming into the full moon energy; the light is returning, and the days are getting longer, little by little. Things are getting exciting, as astrologer Armand Diaz mentions in his forecast around the Leo Full Moon on the 12th. From the 10th to the 12th, the Sun, Moon, and Mercury come into alignment with revolutionary Uranus. So I say again: buckle up, buttercup! Find ways to ground your energy, create a spiritual practice, and learn to trust the messages coming in for you.

Tuning into the Lord's plans requires step-by-step surrender. In the case of Kahlie Metz from our Tulsa community, surrender was season to season and even state to state. Kahlie shares about years of uprooting and change, including a rocky relationship with her father, lost friendships, and several moves. An actress and singer, Kahlie says to combat the spiral of busyness and stress that had become her life, she performed at home just as much as she performed on the job. But as Kahlie started pouring into the Word, working on emotional wounds and taking her devastations to the Lord, she found peace even in her shakeups. He began speaking clearly to Kahlie through others, and her desires began aligning to His. This Scripture-filled story will remind you: He takes care of you! In this episode, you will learn: —His grace is always sufficient for you. –You can trust Him to lead you through life. –Lean into the Lord, and He will lean into you Links: Listen to a similar story: Allison Holt- Ep. 253: Look at What the Lord Has Done.

As I go to record this podcast, we find ourselves in Big changes all around us… cosmically, politically, and spiritually. How are you handling it. Most of us don't like change. Most of us are caught in the comfort zones of our lives… even when they aren't helping us to reach out goals, improve our health or create the partnerships we desire. We get lost. We create behaviors that add to it. We stuff down emotions which become shadows that we hide from. We have the New Moon coming in the sign of Aquarius which also ushers in the Chinese New Year… The year of the Wood Snake. This New Moon energy is going to start speeding things up. As we say in the South… buckle up buttercup… meaning ground your energy to stay centered. It is a time to take a leap in consciousness. Understand more about your soul energy.

As this podcast goes to air, we've moved through the first full moon of the year, which offers us a time to go deep within, feel our emotions, and access the deepest resources of our intuitive selves. What is your soul saying to you? Where are you on your path? Or are you just going along… doing your routine.. trying to stay ahead of it all? Without asking these questions.. and just keeping yourself on the treadmill of life.. it can be very exhausting.. and it can create burnout. There are many ways you can shift out of your old ways.. the limited beliefs of your mind… and open up to expanding your consciousness as we have been talking back over the last few months. We are at a precipice right now with so much change coming forward. Full moons are just one of the things that cosmically push and pull on us.. all the planets are shifting and creating a parade in the sky that vibrates out to us. We are going through major planetary shifts. Across social media, many sources have claimed that January 25 will feature a rare alignment of planets in the night sky. but really this planetary "parade" is not confined to just one or two nights. Throughout this month, on any clear evening, we have been able to witness a giant arc of six planets — Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune, and Saturn — gracing Earth's skies. A "planetary alignment," is where multiple planets gather in proximity on the same side of the sun. Keep in mind that this lineup isn't as precise as the viral videos claim, and Mercury and Earth will be out of sync with the group. While the term "planetary alignment" describes planets clustering on one side of the sun, the term "planetary parade" is less formal and simply means that multiple planets will be visible in the sky at the same time. Throughout January and February 2025, stargazers will get a "planet parade" view in the evening sky. All planets except for Mercury will be visible after nightfall, so it's still a great opportunity to get outside and look up. I use the stargazer app.. so much fun to note where they are around me. Now not only do we have our calendar new year… we also have the year of Year of the Dragon drawing to a close with the Year of the Snake is almost upon us. The date usually falls on the second new moon after the Winter Solstice. The snake, symbol of transformation, coils at the heart of the zodiac, bathed in ethereal light. The elements swirl in the cosmic backdrop. The Year of the Snake 2025, beginning on January 29, promises to bring wisdom, adaptability, and definitely a sense of transformation. Transformation: The snake's ability to shed its skin represents letting go of the past and embracing new opportunities. Elegance: The snake is often seen as a figure of elegance and mystery. Good fortune: The snake is often associated with good fortune. Chinese astrology, each year is also associated with one of the five elements – wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. 2025 will be the Year of the Wood Snake which is believed to bring abundance and prosperity. There are many stories and fabels associated with the wood snake. One that I like is a story that tells of how Snakes are associated with wealth and prosperity. According to legend, a snake once saved a village from drought by bringing a precious jewel to the surface of the earth. From that day on, Snakes were revered and considered lucky animals. So .. get ready for even more shifts. But here's the thing... how you approach these changes is key… Having a Spiritual Practice can help you to notice the old patterns that are keeping you stuck and allows you the energy tools to create the new pathways.. the neurons in your brain to help establish these new ways for you. Change is possible but you do need the skills and tools that a Spiritual Practice offers you. We have all heard The Einstein quote regarding solving a problem which is: "We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that we used when we created them.". This essentially means that to solve a complex issue, you need to approach it with a new perspective and not remain stuck in the same mindset that created the problem in the first place. Want to break free? What to learn these tools for you. Schedule a Spiritual Upgrade Breakthrough call with me and let's talk about the #1 thing that is keeping you stuck and what you can do to break free and create the shifts you want to see for this year. Click here. In today's episode, I wanted to round out our journey through the Akashic Realm. I think the reason I love working in the Akashic Records is that in this Realm we are able to do very deep healing. The more you work in this realm you begin to recognize the shift in your consciousness, which scientifically means, a shift in how your brain is working. One of these states that we can easily access is called Gamma Consciousness. Gamma brain waves are one of the fastest brain wave patterns produced inside your brain. It is often said this is the brain pattern that shamans, gurus, yogis use to shape shift and/or reach enlightenment. As I have been learning and practicing, in the gamma consciousness state, we achieve this station of healing, which can be pictured as a broad vertical ray of light. From the state of highest grace that holds only truth, the heavens and higher dimensions, in which light, sound, and date move faster than the speed of light (luminally) akin to wave particles. The Higher Mind, primarily through the pineal gland, runs your higher brain. By accessing the Ascending Charkas (8th and 9th) the Gamma Consciousness is called in along with the Absolute Scalar Waves and the Higher Frequency of Harmonic Color. Absolute scalar waves are healing streams of grace. They are a type of light that has been present in pre-life, pre-universe.. the big bang. It is an electromagnetic field that can be used for healing working with the chakra fields of energy. I perceive them as coming from the highest place of light and love. As I learned from working with Cyndi Dale this pure scalar energy is found within light and sound waves that can penetrate any solid object and travel faster than the speed of light. They can even pass through the earth from one side to another with no loss of strength. I have experienced them by simply calling them in and allowing the healing to occur. To me, the energy feels like a fast vibration, light, heat, spreading out to create a pure energy of potentiality where change is made. All we have to do is to align Spirit to Spirit and simply call them in. Perhaps you have noticed when we go into meditation and open up to the Akashic Realm I call in Absolute light and streams of grace… and it happens.. quickly. So this allows us to get out of what I call waking state consciousness and expands our abilities to tap into our Soul energy. As we work with these vibrations in the Akashic Realm, you become one with the divine.. you are guided to the truth within your soul.. there is no judgment… which helps you to remember you are an infinite Soul… so freeing… as we so often think we are the physical presence of our body.. and only want the eyes can see in our physical world.. but we are so much more. The records open us up to our soul and all the many lifetimes we have lived.. to the wisdom we carry.. to infinite possibilities. I'll share an experience that I've been working with… I know I've talked about many during these episodes… mostly ones of healing.. but this one is about how we can connect with our star people. For me, it's connecting with the my Lemurian Guides. Follow along the meditation to hear the channeled message. https://terriannheiman.com/

It's in the sign of Cancer, which means this can be a time of emotional clearing, sensitive feelings, and deep intuitive insights from the messages you are receiving. A lot is going on in the cosmos as we start off the year. The tendency is to feel the call for action. Yet Mars – the planet most associated with action – is retrograde until late February. Just as we're pushed to go forward, we are also held back a little. The messages that have been coming in for me confirm this - it's a time to slowly come into this year… to take it one step at a time..so that you can receive messages for yourself. We are in a time that shows us it's important to know our own will, to not overreact, to take a breath… take several breaths. This is a perfect opportunity to reconnect with your spiritual practice, to ground yourself, clear your mind, and, above all, to tune into your heart. It's a time to go beyond your dreams but it needs to be from a place of love (the heart), not pushing and asserting the ego (mind). Having a spiritual practice gives you the tools to help you slow down, focus your mind, open up to those deeper parts of you. Unsure how to begin? I know, there's a lot of stuff out there, a lot of people talking about it. You can Schedule a complimentary Spiritual Upgrade Breakthrough Call with me. Get to know me so that I can get to know you, and figure out where you are holding on to old energies, and how you can move forward right into this new year. It is time to elevate your Spirit and step into a bigger part of you. You don't need to be a Healer or Intuitive or Channel to work in this realm. It is available to each of us and will help you grow in your connection to your intution and your higher self as you unlock old patterns and release the old karma. Today's episode is my 333rd episode. 333 is my favorite number! It's a highly positive number, symbolizing creativity, support, and spiritual awakening. It is a time to awaken to our spiriutality and find ways in which it we can bring this aspect of ourselves with us all the time. One of the best ways is to develop your intentions and most importantly trust it! When I first began my spiritual journey with Reiki, I began to notice I was aware of other people's energy.. I could feel it and would start to bring in impressions and emotions. Honestly, it became quite confusing… was this mine or theirs or what? This is a really important question to ask..One I have my students ask all the time to start to decipher where the energy is coming from. And, this is why many people have trouble developing their intution. Learning your energy, and your ability is so important. So naturally, I began to seek out teachers to help me… Laura Day one of my first teachers of many. But here's the thing… it wasn't until I began to work in the Akashic Realm, did the trust and faith in my abilities began to grow. Why is that.. you may be wondering! Clearing Mental Clutter: Working in the Akashic Records often involves deep meditation and reflection, which can clear mental distractions. A quieter mind allows for clearer intuitive signals to emerge. Alignment with Higher Self As we prepare to enter into the Records we The process connects you with your higher self and spiritual guides, who often communicate through intuitive feelings and insights. This alignment can strengthen your intuitive faculties. Heightened Awareness: Engaging with the Records encourages a heightened state of awareness. This increased sensitivity can lead to a greater ability to perceive subtle energies, emotions, and messages, enhancing your intuition. There is no judgment in the Akashic Realm... Our Soul is here to learn and evolve.. we allow for forgiveness and freedom to move forward occurs. Access to Universal Knowledge: The Akashic Records are believed to contain the collective knowledge and experiences of all souls. Tapping into this vast reservoir can help you gain insights that resonate with your intuitive understanding. Validation of Intuitive Insights: As you receive information from the Records, you may find that some of it aligns with your intuitive feelings. This validation reinforces your trust in your intuition, making it more reliable over time. You can even feel the old energies in the body.. so even though we can't remember everything.. past .. the body still holds these imprints and we can use that to confirm and break free. Personal Growth and Healing: The insights gained from the Records can lead to personal growth and healing, fostering a deeper understanding of yourself and your life path. This self-awareness can enhance your intuitive capabilities. Overall, the interplay of accessing profound wisdom, cultivating awareness, and fostering a connection with your higher self contributes to the development of intuition when working with the Akashic Records. You don't need to be a Healer or Intuitive or Channel to work in this realm. It is available to each of us and will help you grow in your connection to your intution and your higher self as you unlock old patterns and release the old karma. Take a moment to pause and center and be guided into the Akashic Realm to open up your intuition… notice what you notice.. To your Spirit, Terri

It's all the many experiences and lifetimes that we've traveled and lived and learned. It also brings us into our family, our ancestral energies. What can we learn? What do we honor? And what do we then step up in our own life to shift, to change, to empower our paths? That's the energy we're working in right now. And maybe you feel a little lost in this. Maybe last year wasn't such a great year, or maybe you just want to make it better. Having a spiritual practice can help you with all of this. Having a spiritual practice can help you slow down, focus your mind, and open up to those deeper parts of you. My Soul.Work: Working in the Akashic Realm class is coming up. An opportunity for you to learn how you can read your own Akashic Records and tune into your Guides and Angels. It is an opportunity to create a spiritual practice. Open up, let go of old imprints and understand more about your Soul. Not sure if this is the path for you? Not sure if you're ready for this work? Schedule a Spiritual Upgrade Breakthrough Call with me, and let's talk about it. This course begins on January 22nd. I have one more complimentary training coming up on January 8th. And it's about energy imprints. Energy imprints are those things that keep repeating in our lives, that we stumble over and can't figure out how to let them go. This is exactly the work we do in course, and this is what the training will be about. Schedule a call and/or sign up for the training. This week on the Empowered Spirit Show, I speak with Suara Lee, an Akashic Records reader, teacher, and healer. We share the same passion for working in the Akashic Realm. In this episode, we talk about her views on what this information current of the Akashic Records is all about, why she finds it so important for personal growth, her upcoming Akashic Records Unlocked Summit, where six like-minded and like-hearted speakers will take a deep dive into the Akashic Records to help you discover the power of working in this realm, and how the power of healing within can strengthening your connection with your Soul's journey.

As this podcast goes to air, we have officially moved into the new season of Winter and the sign of Capricorn… an earth element.. helping us to ground so that we can begin to feel our Spirit pulling in. Winter is a time to do soul work. To dream and vision. We have a blue new moon coming in on the 30th.. a second new moon in December.. allowing us the opportunity to renew our intentions for the year ahead. How funny that we start out with the energy of WTF.. Wed … Thurs… Friday .. and it is an indicator of the energy coming up.. anything and everything can occur. If you don't have a spiritual practice, now is the time to start one. I can help you with this. It is a time to shed old programming and a spiritual practice can help you with that. It's why I teach what I teach and mentor people and hold them accountable. It's so easy to start something and then stop. Of all the many ways to work with me, my Soul.Work: Working in the Akashic Realm begins mid-January. Working in the Akashic Realm gives your spiritual practice a radical upgrade. Learning to read your Records isn't just for Intuivies or mediums, it is for everyone who wants to understand their Soul's energy, what guides them, and especially what keeps them stuck. Working in the Akashic Realm can help you learn different skills and techniques that can improve your life. Want to know more Schedule a Spiritual Upgrade Call and we can talk about what is keeping you stuck and how you can begin to tap into your soul. Click here. In today's episode, and as we go to close the year, I wanted to continue our journey through the Akashic Realm and talk about releasing old energy.. emotions.. energy imprints as I call them. As the year draws to a close, we often reflect on our New Year's resolutions—the things we wish to release to make way for new possibilities. How frequently do we find ourselves returning to the same point, letting go of the same things time and again, year after year? While we may successfully release some aspects, the more significant obstacles seem to linger. We refer to these as Energy Imprints—old patterns that continue to repeat and become entrenched in our energy field.imprints from our Soul. Though we may not always be aware of their presence, we often notice ourselves reliving these patterns. We don't intend to, but we get triggered, and these triggers typically lead us back to what we perceive as safe—our familiar patterns of seeking comfort. It creates a cycle. This week on The Empowered Spirit Show, as we wrap up the year, I discuss how we become ensnared in these patterns. Often, they stem from past lifetimes, and I will share insights on how we can break free to move forward. Additionally, I offer an Akashic Realm Meditation designed to help you uncover the imprints you may be holding. Getting to the root of these imprints is essential to breaking the old patterns so that you can create new pathways. It's time to break free so you can awaken to a new year and a new version of yourself. As I close out the year, I express my heartfelt gratitude to you—for listening, for reading my blogs and emails, and for expanding your awareness and consciousness. There is so much more to life than what the eye can see. Thank you again for listening... for reading my emails and blog posts. I am so grateful! May your New Year unfold with ease and grace, filled with joy and peace. To your Spirit, Terri PS… Want to know more about this idea of Energy Imprints?

In this fascinating interview, Nathanael J. Homewood discusses his new book,Seductive Spirits: Deliverance, Demons, and Sexual Worldmaking in Ghanaian Pentecostalism (Stanford University Press, 2024). Pentecostalism, Africa's fastest-growing form of Christianity, has long been preoccupied with the business of banishing demons from human bodies. Among Ghanaian Pentecostals, deliverance is primary among the embodied, experiential gifts—a loud, messy, and noisy experience that ends only when the possessed body falls to the ground silent and docile, the evil spirits rendered powerless in the face of the holy spirit-wielding-prophets. And nowhere is Ghanaian Pentecostal obsession with demons more pronounced than with sexual demons. Homewood examines the frequent and varied experiences of spirit possession and sex with demons that constitute a vital part of Pentecostal deliverance ministries, offering insight into these practices assembled from long-term ethnographic engagement with four churches in Accra, the capital of Ghana. Relying on the uniqueness of the Pentecostal sensorium, this book unravels how spirits and sexuality intimately combine to expand the definition of the body beyond its fleshy boundaries. Demons are a knowledge regime, one that shapes how Pentecostals think about, engage with, and construct the cosmos. Deliverance Pentecostals reiterate and tarry with the demonic, especially sexually, as a realm of invention whereby alternative ways of being, sensing, and having sex are dreamed, practiced, and performed. Ultimately, Homewood argues for a distinction between colonial demonization and decolonial demons, charting another path to understanding being, the body, and sexualities. Nathanael Homewood is the Associate Director of Religious Studies at the University of Minnesota. His areas of specialty are global Christianity, religion and sexuality, African religion, and Pentecostalism. He has earned a B.A. in Political Science at the University of Western Ontario, an M.Div in Global Christianity from Yale Divinity School, an M.A. and Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Rice University.

A portal that has helped us to open up to our Spiritual growth. It's a reminder to trust in the timing of your life and have faith that things will work out. The number 1212 represents prosperity, contentment, and joy. We have a Full Moon in Gemini, which brings in so much information that can be overwhelming combined with all the holiday activities.

Right now I have some free trainings to help you understand this process and this type of spiritual practice. In this Training, I will be teaching about connecting with your Guides, Guardians, Angels, and Higher Self. Click here to register. In today's episode, I share a vulnerable story about how I accessed the wisdom of my guides. I share it because it's a great example of how the Akashic Records can help you to break through limiting beliefs you might not even know you have… which is what happened with me. I also offer a Akashic Realm Meditation to help you receive a message for your soul's journey. Working in the Akashic Records, we don't judge our Soul. We don't shame ourselves for these amazing lessons. We allow love to come in for the recognition and choose to work with it instead of opposing it. Yes, you can work in this amazing realm of possibility and find a greater sense of peace and grace for your path. Thanks again for listening!

As this podcast goes to air we have moved through Thanksgiving and officially, if we haven't already said that in the holiday season. I am traveling. I had the great honor of traveling out to Seattle to be with my family. I usually am the one to host Thanksgiving. It's always been my holiday. The kids come to me or I used to go to my parents during Thanksgiving. But this year, we changed it up. I let my son do the cooking out in his new home out in Seattle. Him and his wife and my daughter joined us as well. You know, it's really great when we can allow for changing and shifting and open up to the flow of life. So often we get stuck in our patterns and our habits. And we don't want to change. We want that tradition no matter what. But what a great way to make new memories, new possibilities that come in. And traveling is a great way to get a wider perspective. I mean, that's actually the energy of what we're in right now. Sagittarius. Explore. Challenge yourself. Open up your horizons. And for me, I know it always makes me get a, have a time for reflection. Reflect, reflect on what's going on. Where I'm coming from. Reflect on what I'm doing. Open up and allow the purpose of who I am just to keep growing and allowing and shifting and changing. In this episode today, I want to continue talking about the Akashic Realm and all the amazing things that we can learn from it and why I choose to teach it and not just offer it. Sessions and readings, and I do, I do offer just readings and sessions, and sometimes it's nice just to go in and listen and take it in, and even when I offer sessions, I'll be honest, I do offer the ability for you to interact with what's going on in the records, for you to feel and see and hear and know all the many messages coming in. And if you've never had an Akashic Reading, book a session with me and check it out. And if you have and you want to go a little further, my Akashic Reading, book My Soul.Work: Reading Your Akashic Reading class is coming up. I'm offering it now. We start in January but have lots of amazing trainings and bonuses. On December 11th, I'll be offering a Training about ways in which the Akashic Records can help you go deeper into your soul. In this Training, we will also look at 5 different ways Why the Akashic Records is so needed right now for your Spiritual Practice and how it can awaken you to live your dreams.. your purpose with confidence. Sign up and you will get my Akaskic Records Guide. The winter is the perfect time to do deep into your soul.. to be in a group … to process and to grow so that when spring comes around, you will be ready to plant new seeds of intentions.

When you commit early to an event like this.. you are committing to yourself.. to show up, to prioritize your life, and to recognize the commitment to investing in you. If you are Reiki 1 or Reiki 2 certified, let's talk. I have a few incentives to offer you. Let's Talk! So in today's episode, we're going to talk about Soul Purpose. Very often people come to me for the idea of like, what is my Soul Purpose? I don't know what I'm here for. And many times that is a very good reason why people want to open up their records and want to ask this question because our Soul does travel from lifetime to lifetime, with this deep inherent Soul Purpose of who we are. Now, our Life Purpose can change and shift, and many times people confuse Life Purpose from Soul Purpose. Soul Purpose isn't about doing; it's about being. Your Soul Purpose is to be more in alignment with who you truly are. Be connected. Be compassion. How you express this beingness is the key to “living your life purpose”. The doing aspect is only one part of how you express and experience your soul self. If you are unhappy in your job, or in your life, the real reason for that is usually that you aren't listening to your soul's voice. Your soul is constantly conveying how to be more in alignment with your Soul Purpose, and how you express this is through beingness, not what you are doing. You express your beingness by being what you want to see in the world. Because your Soul's purpose is something you've been doing over many, many lifetimes, discovering your purpose is one of the best uses and reasons for accessing the Akashic Records. Each person is here on this earth at this very time for a reason. Seekers yearn to experience firsthand what that entails and the knowledge and self-understanding you'll receive in these next exercises are designed to do just that. Many times we get hung up on what our purpose is and create lots of unnecessary stress over it. I like to start with the idea for you to look at what really makes you happy? What do you enjoy? What carries through in your life from early on.. before all the adulting. Our Soul Purpose continues.. it's our Life Purpose that can change. I've had many jobs building my career… yet all in the arts, performing arts, jewelry arts, healing arts. My purpose aligns with these through the work of my soul as an Artist of the Spirit. I help others totap into their creative forces to ascess their dreams and live their purpose. My Life Purpose and Soul Purpose line up. What about you? What is that feeling that your soul wants to come through? It's fascinating and I know for myself and my clients when they connect those paths.. the dots.. they feel empowered to continue forward. So now let's take a moment to pause and center and go into the Akashic Realm and connect with our guardians and ask for what it is that brings your Soul joy and happiness.

It's not because Mountain Collective has established itself as a sort of bargain Ikon Junior, or because it's scored a few exclusive partners in Canada and the Western U.S. Rather, the Mountain Collective continues to exist because the member mountains like their little country club, and they're not about to let Alterra force a mass exodus. Not that Alterra has tried, necessarily (I frankly have no idea), but the company did pull its remaining mountains (Mammoth, Palisades, Sugarbush), out of the coalition in 2022. Mountain Collective survived that, just as it weathered the losses of Stowe and Whistler and Telluride (all to the Epic Pass) before it. As of 2024, six years after the introduction of the Ikon Pass that was supposed to kill it, the Mountain Collective, improbably, floats its largest roster ever.And dang, that roster. Monsters, all. Best case, you can go ski them. But the next best thing, for The Storm at least, is when these mountain leaders assemble for their annual meeting in New York City, which includes a night out with the media. Despite a bit of ambient noise, I set up in a corner of the bar and recorded a series of conversations with the leaders of some of the biggest, baddest mountains on the continent.Who* Stephen Kircher, President & CEO, Boyne Resorts* Dave Fields, President & General Manager, Snowbird, Utah* Brandon Ott, Marketing Director, Alta, Utah* Steve Paccagnan, President & CEO, Panorama, British Columbia* Geoff Buchheister, CEO, Aspen Skiing Company, Colorado* Pete Sonntag, VP & General Manager, Sun Valley, Idaho* Davy Ratchford, General Manager, Snowbasin, Utah* Aaron MacDonald, Chief Marketing Officer, Sun Peaks, British Columbia* Geordie Gillett, GM, Grand Targhee, Wyoming* Bridget Legnavsky, President & CEO, Sugar Bowl, California* Marc-André Meunier, Executive Marketing Director, Bromont, Quebec* Pete Woods, President, Ski Big 3, Alberta* Kendra Scurfield, VP of Brand & Communications, Sunshine, Alberta* Norio Kambayashi, director and GM, Niseko Hanazono, Japan* James Coleman, Managing Partner, Mountain Capital Partners* Mary Kate Buckley, CEO, Jackson Hole, WyomingRecorded onOctober 29, 2024About Mountain CollectiveMountain Collective gives you two days each at some badass mountains.

Cosmically we have entered into the last Mercury Retrograde of this year in the sign of Sagittarius. It's an interesting one for sure. It lasts until the middle of December. What this comes down to is that your perspective can shift… you may feel confused.. however.. this will require you to detach a little… come back into yourself.. taking time to slow down and review your year will be critical. Staying open to messages from your guides and higher self is important. If you are traveling.. be intentionally grounded. Give yourself time to double-check everything. Don't rush and don't get into a panic. We have a New Moon in Sag on Dec 1st. This new Moon in Sagittarius draws our attention to our spirit of adventure and how we interact with new perspectives. Ruled by fire and Jupiter, Sagittarius embodies the spirit of the student, the philosopher, and the wanderer. This sign teaches us that life is a continuous learning experience, with everyone we encounter serving as our teacher. It reminds us that our journey is about gathering experiences and sometimes experiencing leaps of faith to acquire the knowledge necessary for our evolution. Having a spiritual practice is very important right now. Building new skills and learning new tools will help you trust your inner guidance. I've started Weekly Page From the Akashic Records, offering a message about the cosmic forces and pulling some cards. I bring in the messages from the realms of consciousness to access your Higher Self, and connect with your Guides, Angels, Lemurians, Beings, and the Cosmic Forces all around us. I have a comment from last week's podcast … the question was why I teach working in the akashic records. The confusion was that she thought Akashic Records was just for getting a reading about your past lives. This is only one aspect of working with the Akashic Records and one that most people are familiar with. What I have found from working with my private mentoring clients, is that when we work in the Akashic Records, and not just have a reading given to us, which is helpful, but if you have some intuitive knowledge, you can bring in guidance from your soul through your higher self and actually feel these old imprints in your life that keep you from moving forward in your present life and into the future. Soul.Work: Reading your Akashic Records online program begins in January. Register now for all the bonuses. https://terriannheiman.com/soul-work In today's episode, journey with me into the Akashic Realm and awaken your Higher Self to receive messages for guidance for you. Connecting with your Higher Self helps you find direction. Clarity of Purpose: Your Higher Self knows your soul's purpose and can help you align your actions with it. Overcoming Fear and Doubt: By tapping into your inner wisdom, you can overcome limiting beliefs and fears. Making Confident Decisions: Your Higher Self provides the intuition and discernment needed to make wise choices. Manifesting Your Dreams: By connecting with your Higher Self, you can harness the power of the universe to manifest your desires. Notice what you notice! To your Spirit, Terri
There is a radical awakening happening which leads me into my next series on The Empowered Spirit Show. Soul.Work... Learning how to work in through the higher realms of consciousness... the Akashic Records. We will explore what you can learn and why these teachings are needed right now.. You're ready for a change, and the moment is now. Perhaps there's a profound urge within you to evolve and reach your highest vibrational potential because you seek healthy and joyful relationships with yourself and others. We each have a unique purpose on this planet, and you're not alone in this journey. A significant spiritual awakening is occurring globally. According to my guides in the Akashic Records, the goal of this shift is to transmute the stagnant lower energies like anger, hatred, and struggle. It's time for these energies to elevate into something greater for everyone. When we work in the Akashic Realm, we expand our consciousness… we don't limit the healing and clearing to just the intellect.. we are able to get to the root .. the soul's journey. I offer a guided meditation taking you into the Akashic Realm to help you feel the energy and begin to set up a foundation for yourself.

Ashley Byrom, from our Homewood, Alabama community, shares her story of walking through childhood trauma and tragedy, as well as how God has met her and shaped her over the years as a result. From learning to trust God with her own children to letting go of a destructive relationship with her mother, Ashley helps us to understand we should never judge a book by its cover as we are all a work in progress…and we should always lead with compassion as we never know the path someone has walked. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: - There are moments when painful memories from childhood trauma can be stored in your spirit and emerge later in life. - If you keep things in the dark, they will often stay dark. Bring your darkness to the light by sharing your struggles with a trusted, godly friend. - In the reconciliation of a relationship, it takes both parties to participate for healing to occur.
