With all the turmoil and injustice in the world, the soul cries out for peace and tranquility, ultimately seeking permanent spiritual repose in heavenly regions. Let us join the caravan of mystics, learn from them the ways of ahimsa: nonviolence in thought, word, and deed, and aspire to connect with the heavenly realms of God. If only the soul and it's heavenly abode can come to the forefront of our attention, we will soon discover that, "It is in Him that we live and move and have our being." (Acts 17 : 28, New Testament)   "In the company of mystics wrongdoings wash away, the fever of passions is left behind and the mind collects in concentration. Attached to a mystic, we detach from all else. When the heart lives for meditation, a peace sets in - a tranquility. Being with mystics leads to devotion to God, to knowing God. Happiness in this world and liberation from it, both are found in their company." (Sant Niloba)   "Carrying only the Name, begin the journey in the caravan of saints, shedding all else that is false and would bind you." (Guru Arjun Dev)   "Live in mutual harmony and practice meditation." (Swami Santsevi Ji)   "I pray to Sat Guru humbly to start Sant Mat openly. I wish that the whole humanity be redeemed, and I may witness this glory. Then I may enjoy great bliss and all may perform Thy Arti [worship]." (Sar Bachan Radhasoami Poetry of Soamiji Maharaj) "Satsang must go on. Satsang shall spread far and wide in future." (from, The Last Words of Soamiji Maharaj)   "Just as it is important for us to eat food for the body, it is equally important for us to do our Bhajan Simran [meditation]. That is the food for our soul. The Bhajan Simran that we do is like food for the soul. And the Satsangs that we listen to, that is like giving water. So, the Bhajan Simran and Satsang, these are like food and water to the soul. And with that, the soul becomes stronger and it is able to gain prowess over the mind. So, we should have mercy on our soul. The soul, after having come into this world, is under the influence of the mind. And the mind has put it through a lot of torture. So, we have to have mercy on the soul. And, therefore, we have to do our Bhajan Simran. So, we have to always remember our purpose and do our Bhajan Simran."

As I continue to research the connection between science & spirituality, this is my most profound discovery YET! My mind is (still) blown. The story we've been told about our genetics is not the whole story. Even as a science teacher for 5+ years, I vulnerably admit that I was not teaching this empowering information to my students because I was completely unaware! That is exactly why I am sharing this life-changing information with you today. We are not victims of our genetics. Tune into this episode for the full explanation of how our perception affects how our genes are expressed and how this can even affect our future generations!

Welcome BACK to the Balanced Bodies Blueprint! In this episode, hosts Vinny Russo and Dr. Eryn Stansfield dismantle diet dogma. Unravel misconceptions about fats, carbs, and calories, and gain insights into a holistic approach to nutrition. Insights: *Carbs and Fats Unveiled: Understand the truth about dietary fats and carbs – they're not the enemy, and challenge the belief that carbs hinder weight loss. *Low-Carb Reality: Explore the consequences of extreme low-carb diets.

This spectrum of emotions works on a deep level and causes us to act in so many different ways.

Recently, the North Central region of Illinois advanced into Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois coronavirus response package put together by JB Pritzker. Indoor dining has resumed (on a limited basis), as has the ability for movie theaters to resume operations.  Phase 4 is entitled "Revitalization." While face coverings are still to remain the norm in this phase, we have begun to "reopen." What does this mean for our local economy here in Peoria IL? If you are a small business owner, what are the challenges and opportunities now?

Nutshell: In Episode 2 of #SOTTPodcast I cover healing and transmuting wounds for my feminine ancestors through celebration and tending to my womb. I also cover the season of darkness and confusion I am in, and I cover mental illness and why it's important to tend to our minds, to practice mental health. I share some helpful tips for depression and anxiety, especially for #empaths . In the month of October energy aligned for me. I immediately began feeling the #phoenixenergy of #Scorpio; I began the journey of an inner death (which I am still trodding). I communed with my new Master Plant Teacher Santa Maria, as she called to me, and she aided me in moving through energy blocks and #ancestraltrauma, especially trauma my #Taino and #African #Indigenous ancestors endured. During October I also shared sacred space with other women through a virtual class on #wombcare and #wombwisdom, which was supportive and beneficial for what I was experiencing! My #mooncycle was during the Full Moon that month, which was perfect, so I created sacred space for my womb and my Ancestors to celebrate, mourn, and release. Towards the end of the month I received channeled #Venusian #LightLanguageCodes during the #OrionidMeteorShower. What followed jaded me out. After an intense month of moving through heaviness and connecting in sacred space with my womb, ancestors, and sistars, I sunk into a space of confusion, anxiety, and depression. A lot has come up for me to review during this dark season of #thecrone, such as reflection on my past friendships and the disappointment and sadness I experienced when many of them let me down in my times of vulnerability and need. I am re-evaluating beliefs, and feeling my way through a phase of “what the fuck am I doing right now, and in which way should I be going?” I talk about #mentalillness and how it’s important to talk about it, especially from a spiritual perspective because the New Age movement has tried to dismiss it or not talk about it at all. New Age information can be deceptive, misleading, and #mentalhealth should not be ignored. Just as physical and emotional health is important, so is the health of the mind. I share my thoughts on it, and how I have been picking up on pain and thoughts of others. I also share tips on how to calm anxiety and depression, so I hope you tune in! 

Don’t forget, at the end of each episode is a sound healing! Be blessed! And so happy to have you tune into She of the Throne! Please share! Sources Mentioned:

It may sound cliche`, but today's argument/discussion sticks with the classics -- sex...drugs and Rock'n'Roll! Rock music meets lyric analysis and chaos ensues, as two best friends from opposite ends of the academic spectrum debate lyrics, pop culture and the meaning of life. We are over thinkers. If you don't give us the answer, we'll just have to come up with one ourselves, and music lyrics are our favourite topic to dissect for the pure joy of it. For our debut episode we're tackling '1234' -- one of the new singles from the album A Million Degrees by Emigrate.

Martin Lesch is a husband, musician, songwriter, phenomenal pianist, and teacher, in addition to being fully committed to preserving the art and culture of jazz music. There are a lot of people who love jazz music and kind of idolize the life of the creative artist/ musician, so I feel that his willingness to be open and vulnerable about both the joys and struggles on his path will be extremely insightful. During this conversation we discuss creating, as a legacy of caring about community. We delve into tough subjects like the creative process, addiction, dealing with death and questioning everything. He also discusses his decision to create a new CD Journey through Jazz and to sell it on iTunes. Martin has always had an interest in music. He tells stories of playing the piano from before he was old enough for lessons (starting around 4 years old), simply making up his own melodies and asking his mother what she thought of them. He began taking lessons at 5 and had both good and bad teachers until his tween years, when he finally found a great teacher. That teacher was a stand out because he did two things: asked Martin what kind of music he liked (and let him play that), as well as "taught him music theory from the get-go." Parallel to his childhood interest in music and the arts, he describes growing up in New York City with a family that had some very interesting theological metamorphoses. He describes how his thought patterns changed and were shaped with deep conversations with family and extended family members. Martin grew up playing music and went through  Berklee music school. He was writing, performing and constantly on the road. He had the opportunity to perform with exemplary musicians from all around the world. He spent an extensive time in China, and Europe, as well as touring all over the United States. His greatest desire was"[He] just wanted to create." During that time his meditation practice grew, as did the depth of his commitment to Buddhism. We discuss how "creativity develops in the quiet, not in the noise." Music is definitely another language and form of expression. Jazz solos are like improvisational stories. 'Sometimes you get home at the end of a night performing and you feel like you didn't finish saying everything that you wanted to say..." explains Martin. He then sits down on his piano at home and plays a bit more until he has finished "his story" for the night.   Martin talks about the Jazz tradition of helping younger players to become accepted into the Jazz community, as well as offering them the experience that they need to fully step into the world of improvisational music. We discuss how Martin extended that invitation to my son Hani'el Mastriani-Levi, after hearing a brief video of him warming up for a sax lesson, in a parking lot.     Hani’el in the Parking lot: https://youtu.be/8XSRPIHjl3Q Hani’el’s Debut at Jazz corner link: https://youtu.be/Mn_SNfv7UWo Martin is vulnerable in discussing the risks of creative to show up fully and the bravery necessary.  "Being brave is attractive." "The best art is created in an ego-less space." " Jazz enables your art to be a community activity." He also openly discusses how substance abuse is a huge deterrent to artistic development and progress. We speak about how prevalent it is in the world of art/music and how quickly it can lead you down the wrong path. Martin spent years writing for others and now he says, "I'm writing every night...just that I'm doing it live on stage." The legacy that he desires to create is not just as a musician, rather as a compassionate person who helped to bring empathy amongst others  in the community. A Simple Change that Martin recommends is: Practice Meditation...every day in some way...to create compassion & understanding in all that you do.

Today's guest, Natasha Wozniak is a an artist, jewelry maker, philanthropist and committed to bringing awareness to what is really going on today in Nepal. Natasha describes an interesting childhood in Wisconsin that was rich with curiosity and music. At a very young age Natasha lost her father and began her process of searching out those who were living lives "with meaning." While looking through a National Geographic magazine, she read a story of a man in Nepal who walked three weeks in one direction just to reach a spiritual location that was important to him. That article triggered her curiosity regarding what could be so important that someone would walk for three weeks.  While in college, she decided to do a study abroad, and in spite of her initial inclination to go and study in Paris, she redirected and chose Nepal. While in Nepal, she connected deeply with the people that she encountered in the village where she was staying. There were about 100 villagers. She said that she felt the warmth, love and support that she had been deeply craving in her teen years, since her father's passing. She always maintained some contact with her Nepalese friends along with a very clear desire to give back to them.  When the earthquake hit Nepal on April 25, 2015, and Natasha heard that the village she had once lived in was being called the epicenter...she sprung into action trying to determine how she could best support the people. Many people want to help in situations such as these, yet feel confused if their contributions will reach the actual destination. Natasha had a direct connection and someone, on site, who could offer real footage of how donation dollars we being put to immediate usage.  When the earthquake hit, Natasha had no way of realizing how deeply it would affect everything in her life. She has since traveled there several times and is leading groups who would like to visit. Natasha has been highly instrumental (nearly single-handedly) in organizing fundraising efforts and took on the personal responsibility of doing everything possible to rebuild the village. She has even allowed her jewelry making business, take somewhat of "a back seat" as she is putting all of her efforts in to rebuilding not only Rainaskot, but two other villages that were badly damaged in the area.  Natasha is fluent in Nepali and is able to communicate fluently with officials and villagers in Nepal. She and her local colleagues were asked by local coordinators to create a plan to quickly rebuilt permanent homes. This was the ultimate goal of disaster recovery. They, however, have taken it a step further, by not only rebuilding the homes, but also creating an infrastructure for additional income for the villages, by creating "guest rooms" in each home. Her current mission is to both help villagers in Nepal to rebuild their homes but also to provide them economic development opportunities through customized plans, whether through tourism, agriculture, crafts or manufacturing. To learn more about Natasha Wozniak and how you can support her efforts to rebuild Nepal one village at a time and each village one brick at a time, please contact her at: natashawozniak@gmail.com or visit her at the website: www.fundforlamjung.org/ There is a large "donate" button that will lead you to a direct donation page.

Today's guest, Nick Snapp is a family man, engineer, coach, speaker and host of the Make It Snappy Productivity Show Podcast in addition to being the productivity specialist and podcaster at Inspire Me Solutions. Nick, being trained as an engineer initially felt that he had to chase the corporate lifestyle. He enjoyed the people in the corporate world, but he always knew that there was something missing. As years progressed, he realized that environment wasn't for him. In his experience, he would find a lot of people who were depressed and stuck doing the "corporate thing" which led him to answer his calling of becoming an entrepreneur. February 2015 was Nick's turning point and also the time when he decided to pursue the "entrepreneurial thing." He started his business with LEAN SIX SIGMA studies for products and companies. The job required more time spent away from his family, which he could not afford, so he got a coach to find some solutions. A program in L.A. made him identify what he was good at and what accolades he had always received in the past and they were all about PRODUCTIVITY. Since then, he has been hitting it hard in the productivity space. Nick views productivity as "working on the right things and spending your time working on your best activities. Defining what those best activities are, is the most productive thing that anybody can do". Getting involved in this productivity line got Nick thinking about every moment of his life. He came to know that your time really matters as an entrepreneur and on the outset you are the only person accountable for what you are getting done. When he first started, he was struggling with procrastination with his website; he just could not get it together. Later on, he finally decided to build the website at all cost in two weeks with the help of stickK.com. StickK.com is a helpful online tool that asks users to sign Commitment Contracts, define their goals, acknowledge what it’ll take to accomplish it, and leverage the power of putting money on the line to turn that goal into a reality. As an entrepreneur, Nick is not afraid to push limits on what he feels that he can do. He started experimenting with coaching on air, with having panel answering questions from listeners and even with his wife or kids on, doing commercials. He’s never been afraid to execute whatever he feels is solid and consistent with his message and brand that adds value to people , however possible. The majority of Nick's clients are parents who feel overwhelmed, lacking focus and feeling distracted. Nick also experienced that previously ,which led him to learn productivity. Nick wants to inspire and help people live their lives where they want to, do things that they want to do and help them get their time back. Nick also developed a group coaching program, as he believes that the clients support each other. It’s a group with a common mission and similar mindsets to help each other. Some Simple Changes that Nick recommends: " Getting around people that think like you." " If you have an idea, it's going to sit our there in “idea land” until you set a date and commit and you tell people what you are doing."

Deb Williams is an accountant, money coach and podcaster committed to helping others not only identify their money story, but to move through it to a place of prosperity and joy. Deb takes us on a little journey that led her to the move from happiness into joy. She describes growing up in a home with addiction and then marrying an addict/alcoholic. Only in her 30’s did she truly realizing how dysfunctional the situation was for she and her young children. Twelve step work (with Adult Children of Alcoholics) was instrumental in her understanding the madness that she had grown up thinking was normal. She acknowledges that you never graduate from the program of life. Deb became a Certified Public Accountant and worked primarily in that world, until she decided to make a shift in the way that she was working and living. Recently she created a new reality of walking and talking differently through a process that took about four years. She reached a stage where she realized that she didn’t have to be the CPA that she thought she was supposed to be. She realized that she was trying to make a statement all along. Her life shifted by dropping her judgments and “victim mentality.” She no longer needed that to be validated. The “listening” part of addiction work led her to believe that coaching could be a new direction for her own career to shift. Deb describes her process of finding clarity in her direction as being, ”like a puzzle,” where you can only see part of it a time until it all begins to come together. She had to lose everything, marriage, kids leaving home, losing her investments/retirement…until she was ready to shift her lifestyle. She felt that everything was running simultaneously on different tracks. She says that her fear was based around losing what she thought mattered to her, when really it didn’t matter at all. Community was part of what brought her into a space that enabled her to reclaim her power and “be enough”.  Exercise and a healthier lifestyle increase her awareness on many levels, as she found her own way of doing movement. Deb has used coaches that have been polar opposites in approach, spirituality and/or ability, in order to hone skills that she knew that she needed, to be successful in the new direction that her life has been taking. She says she is in the process of developing a consistent lifestyle including a commitment to taking brave actions. She began the company of Financial Karma, which includes a podcast. Her clients learn their financial archetypes and become bravely aware of their money story. She discusses depression and how people use their depression as a mask to hide behind their greatness. Today, she wants to inspire women who are willing to talk about their emotions and the connection to their “big picture” money story. She tries to help others bring awareness and realize their dreams. Some simple changes that Deb recommends are: "Find an exercise that you are already ready to start doing."

Emily Alexander is an artist, film maker, mom, daughter and now more than every committed to helping others to do more of what they love. Emily starts her story describing her clear calling to be an artist from a very young age. Although she grew up in what she called "the Conservative South," she describes a huge amount of support from her family and great cultural appreciation. The Arts were nurtured from a young age and an integral part of her upbringing. She, not surprisingly, found herself in art school...followed by film school in New York. After film school she had a job offer in Los Angeles that she felt was to great to refuse. Venice Beach, CA was a wonderfully supportive lifestyle. She led a juicy, and vibrant lifestyle as a film maker and she felt very at home. That was, until she encountered a difficult break-up...which led her back to North Carolina. Upon her return to North Carolina, she found herself quickly falling back into familial roles and found it difficult to accomplish her initial plan of taking a break at home and then returning to California. She decided to study to be a Massage Therapist and stay close to the home front. Her practice as a massage therapist continued for several years...as she was not only married, but also had a daughter. She said that in spite of her decisions regarding how to make her massage practice resonate with her personal style, she still felt empty. She was making great money, but on some level she felt that she had "sold out on her dream" to be an artist for the security she wanted to provide for her husband and daughter. Not long after coming to that realization tragedy struck from several angles. She surprisingly lost her mother from a brain aneurysm...followed by losing her daughter's best friend in a drowning incident. The grief caused Emily to spiral into a deep depression that she was unable to pull herself out of, even with medical intervention. Emily shows great honesty and vulnerability as she describes the intensity of  her personal struggle. She really opens up and allows us to comprehend the mental thought process that led her to checking herself into a mental institution. As a last resort, to help her, she and her doctors decided it would be best for her to go through electroshock therapy. She outlines her trepidation and her grand relief to see that this was in fact a very helpful method/treatment for her.  Emily tells a story of finding a box of broken crayons in the ward that re-opened her eyes to exciting and healing art can be to everyone, but especially to those suffering with depression. From that moment she realized that she needed to do whatever was possible to bring art supplies to psychiatric wards everywhere. She used her personal struggle as a launch pad for helping others. She’s doing a lot within her community with her own art work, and helping others to learn about how art can help them find their souls and purpose in life. One simple change that Emily recommends is:  Emily describes a priority/value shift wherein she stopped the process of coveting things...that were just objects...and rather using extra funds to towards meaningful experiences, whether they be solo or shared with others.

Marty Crocker is the wandering yogi, massage therapist, husband, golf pro, and leading the way with an idea he calls gifitivism.Marty describes how a yoga class in college showed up and derailed a previously presumed future in the corporate world. Yoga led him to  develop a consistency in his life. He describes how yoga brought him joy and a desire to share with others, from a place of service. Yoga became his form of meditation and quieting his mind. His practice brought him personal awareness and and understanding of the importance of breath work.  Through his personal work in yoga, he describes a process of discovering bodywork and his initial resistance to treat others outside of the yoga studio setting. Originally, he would do body work during the time he was teaching, with students rotating to the "treatment" mat throughout the class. He found, and still believes the hands on assistance in yoga leads to a deeper sense of connection, both to the practice and to his students. He talks about connection, not correction, as a place of understanding.  He has built a long term client base that know they can depend on him. He is reticent to directly define the work that he does with clients, feeling that labels divide and create separation rather than creating a place of connection. Marty explains that because of the clarity he has that massage and yoga are his life purpose, he feels no worries regarding where they might lead him and whether he is "doing the right thing." Even as a pioneer, he describes that there is no questioning if this is the right path for him. Marty describes the idea of giftivism and its basis of trusting contribution. He says that once you truly understand your personal value, you no longer question if the universe is going to provide for you.He opened a smoothie shop that entirly functioned on a "pay what you want basis." The real challenge for many who embark on or even simply strive to understand this path is to learn giving without any expectation of gain. It is entirely trusting the collaborative process of the universe...creating zero attachment to the outcome. We talk about the flip-side of the coin and the difficulty of many to know how to receive. We touch upon the internal conflict that often arises regarding worth and deserving.  More than anything, Marty wants to inspire the younger generation by exposing them to this idea of radical generosity. His biggest tip to creating lasting change and awareness is to sit quietly for 5 minutes daily and bring your focus to your breath and your being. Marty's joy is contagious and his generosity will get you thinking about where in your life you can give more and expect less.  To learn more about Marty Crocker and his inspiring work, please contact him via email martycrocker@gmail.com.

Soness Stevens remembers growing up with a childhood dream of being a ninja. She takes us along, with her amazing story-telling ability, from her younger years moving frequently in the US to her now home in Japan. She shares personal stories of connection with her brother Chris, her “Ninja Master.” His words of “Ninjas Never Give Up,” seemed to be the driving force that never allowed her to quit through her tough childhood…and perhaps even beyond. She offers a story of being hurt and wanting to confide in her Barbie, who felt completely unrelated-able, with her unfading smile. Soness’ spiritual path began to be evident to her following an interview for a paper products company in Florida, in her early 20’s. She saw herself walking into an industry that would lock her in a direction that did not feel progressive. After turning down a lucrative job offer, she decided to get her MBA at Harvard. For her to be able to specialize in what she was pursuing, she needed to be fluent in Japanese. This required a year’s studies in Japan. While in Japan, she became Japan’s first Feng Shui consultant, as well as the English voice of Hello Kitty. Following her realization that she needed more than a year to truly learn Japanese and the Japanese culture, Soness decided to make Japan her “always” home. She has lived there now for 20 years. Since then, Soness has built a life teaching connection and compassion through public speaking. She has a nationally broadcast television show, as well as a career as a university professor. She walks both students and coaching clients through their personal “Speaking Journeys” and teaches them how to create TED/TEDx worthy speeches. She helps them to define core thesis’ and to find value to offer to others. Soness is also a TEDx speaker and speaker coach for other speakers. As a global communicator has done multiple TEDx speeches herself. She incorporates connection and compassion to all of her lessons teaching others to recognize the “oneness” and similarities we all share. Additionally, she describes the Japanese method of “reading the air” to integrate the intuitive nature that once was so commonplace in the Japanese culture. You can see one of her talks here. She also took time to share about her latest online teaching program, “How to Create a TED Worthy Application,” helping others to get their messages out to the world. More than anything though, Soness describes her process of “teaching others to be at home with themselves.” Her heart is huge and her commitment to the success of others is to be appreciated and valued. Take a moment to listen. You will be inspired and your heart will be warmed from her truly amazing journey to where she is now.

Michelle Grandy tells of huge personal changes that have helped her to not only create a healthier lifestyle, but also to guide others to shift their vision as well. She begins with a story of growing up in the inner city of Washington, D.C. Her Grandmother was her primary caretaker and role model, as a community activist. She taught her to smile and always remain positive. Michelle developed chronic asthma as a kid and remembers constantly being dependent on medicines for her survival. She speaks of needing to “take herself to the emergency room” when no one was available to help her. She grew up believing that chronic lung disease was her fate and that medications would forever be a part of her life. That was until she read the Veganist on a plane trip seven years ago. Michelle learned a way that would free her from a lifetime of medicines. It was veganism. She made the shift to veganism “cold turkey.” She desperately wanted her entire family to join her in veganism. After all, she was free from medical intervention and medicines within three months of choosing veganism. She wanted to “breathe into the normalcy of living,”and for everyone to join her. She discusses the struggles of wanting something badly for others, and coming to the realization that they had to want it for themselves, for it to be a lasting change. She talks about her decision to leave the world of corporate banking following learning yoga, and seeing what a profound effect it had on her life. As she went deeper into her personal development work and had a vision to create a business that could inspire others, exactly as she had been inspired. She wanted to shift others vision through foods, focusing on the constant awareness of foods that heal the body. She wanted to teach others to be “mindfully still” and listen to their bodies. She mentions the struggle of others’ in her close friends and family circle seeing yoga as possible sacrilege and needing to teach the practices under the title of “mindfulness.” This enabled her to create an “entry point” into many of the organizations that would not have been as accommodating under the title of yoga. Today she teaches yoga (mindfulness), coaches, speaks and cooks for others who are ready for change.
