No, really. He's a total pussycat!Well, a pussy cat with flappy wings;)In this episode, Rachel and KC methodically walk through how KC developed a more meaningful, direct relationship with this Spirit Guide-- who initially emerged in a Channeling Session with Rachel. The weeks and months to come brought a series of undeniable events, synchronicities and symbols, all of which made KC grateful that she had a helping hand from an ancient Mayan deity.This is a great, human-scaled example of how developing and deepening relationships with Spirit Guides can make a measurable, positive impact on us in our daily lives.

Are you ready to unlock the wild wisdom of the animal kingdom? Let's journey through the mystical veil together, as we discover the power of spirit animals and their profound messages. This episode is a spiritual deep dive, an exploration into the symbolic tapestry of nature's wisest creatures, from the powerful bear to the vibrant pheasant. We will discuss the various aspects of our inner beings, such as animal guides who are powerful allies to self-awareness.In the heart of this adventure, you will be guided through a soothing meditation, helping to awaken your intuition and manifest your dreams through the ancient language of Sanskrit mantras. As we strengthen our bond with our own spirit animal, the doors to messages, healing and transformative power will be unlocked. We will also delve into the art of interpreting these messages through shamanic practices. I will further share resources like 'Animal Speak' by Ted Andrews, to help you deepen your understanding of your spirit animal. So, let's embark on this journey together, embracing the wild wisdom of our spirit animals.An inner animal guide or spirit animal can help you in your life, and give you qualities you desire to manifest.  An Inner Guide can be a source of inspiration, intuitive and heightened awareness.  These inner guides can be discovered deep in one's subconscious.  There are different types of Inner Guides such as: the Higher Self, Inner Healer, Inner Teacher, Inner Alchemist, Inner Warrior, Animal Guides as well as Past Life Personalities.  In this episode we will connect to an Animal Guide to offer messages and healing. This episode was inspired by A Bear.  In my Eastern Massachusetts seaside community and locally in other towns around there has been many sightings of a Bear or Bears.  Bears are not native to this area, only further west in Western Massachusetts or North in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.  The Bear visitations have created quite a stir in our local communities.  I asked a colleague who is very connected to indigenous and native elders to find out what the significance is of a bears being in places that aren't their natural habitat.  He told me the bear medicine shows change and transformation coming to those areas in which it is appearing.  I did some research and discovered more about bear medicine. We share our world with animals.  They can be our teachers about the lessons we are currently learning in life.  There are many interpretations of the symbolism of different animals we can find on the internet as well as in animal Medicine Cards, such as the deck by Jamie Sams or Messages from Your Animal Spirit Guides Oracle Cards:  Cards by Stephen Farmer, or  the Druid Animal Oracle deck The Druid Animal Oracle Deck by Philip Carr-Gomm , and Stephanie Carr-Gomm.Animals can give us messages, when we spot them in our day to day life.  It is especially important to note when an animal that is not native to an area shows up in your life, as did the bear down my street.  According to certain Shamanic practices, an animal needs to successively show up in your life 3 times or 3 of the same animal at once to be considered a messenger animal.  I often see three crows or ravens (when I'm out west) at a time. The Crow or Raven symbolizes the Planet Saturn known as Shani in Vedic Astrology.  So I always say “Hi Shani,” what you got for me today?  Usually something karmic is being burned off! So keep your eyes open for what Animal messenger is showing up in your life successively and then go google the meaning, or get some animal cards to interpret the lesson for you.www.jilljardineastrology.comSupport the show

I believe it's time for a better health care system that's more cost effective, dignified, and just for everyone involved.KK: Kwadcast nation, welcome back! We got a great episode with Asha Frost, and I tell you this, this one was extremely moving. We talked about ways of healing thyself, looking at creative ways to not only bank on conventional methods of healing, but also looking at spirituality, looking at our mental health, the mind body connection to create healing is tremendous. We go into some of the indigenous ways that could improve our overall health, we go through a guided journey, which as you'll hear was extremely moving from my perspective, I was a little verklempt after that one. Then we talked about we talked about racism, we talked about our own experiences within healthcare, she tells her story about being treated like an animal, within the emerge our own experience not that long ago, which I think a lot of people need to hear. It's tough to hear, but it's just another reinforcing message that we got work to do. So, looking forward to you guys hearing that.

So, without further ado, check it – Asha Frost. Kwadcast nation, man this is a real privilege today, folks. It's a real privilege today because we got Asha Frost, who honestly, I just met in November. We were both that ‘Impact' live, amazing event put on by Meghan Walker. Your keynote, everybody was talking about this bad boy.  I got to connect with you backstage. Show me your book, all the magical things that you're doing. I was like, she's got to come on the show folks. Asha's got to come on the show. So welcome to the kwadcast.AF: Thank you. That's quite the introduction. Thanks for having meKK: Oh, man! It's the least I could do after all the magical stuff you're doing Asha. Seriously, this is an exciting show for me. So maybe, to give context to why you're doing all these workshops, the book, the essays, I think a lot of it comes from your personal experience. So maybe just tell us a little bit about how you've gotten here.AF: Sure. So, I'd say my healing journey started when I was 17. I was diagnosed with lupus. At that time, doctors didn't really know a lot about lupus and the antibodies that were positive in my bloodwork really were like quite serious. So, they were saying ‘You're gonna have to go on medication for the rest of your life, you're might not have children, you might not live a long life' and of course, as a 17-year-old, I was really scared. At that time, I lived in a really, I'd say, non diverse town. So, there weren't a lot of indigenous people. My grandparents had been in residential school, I had been colonized away from our medicine ways or away from our ways of healing and knowing and being. So of course, I thought, oh, we'll try the medication. So, I did, and I got so many side effects from the prednisone and the anti malarial drugs. So I knew there had to be a different way. I went to university and at that time, I got really sick because of the stress of university, and somebody said, why don't you go see naturopath. That sort of opened up everything for me, I saw naturopath at about 21. Then I thought, ‘Oh, my goodness, there's a remembering of myself and my blood and my bones calling me back to these ancestral ways of knowing and the earth' and I had to uncover that. That was like the beginning of my journey just going on this. It's always just been ‘How can I heal myself?' and then, of course, as I heal myself, I share that with the world. So that was the beginning.KK: Wow, wow. So really, unfortunately, having a relatively serious diagnosis at a very tender age of 17. Going through the conventional treatments, were you finding you were getting better when you were taking the conventional meds?AF: Not really, I'd say, no, it made me so much sicker. I just I've had new symptoms that I wasn't experiencing with the lupus symptoms. So, it wasn't making me better. I thought, well, this doesn't feel like it and maybe if I tried it longer it would have, but it just didn't feel like a really good exchange of I'm taking these and I'm feeling worse in my body. So, it wasn't helpful at the time, I have subsequently taken little small doses at times that have been helpful, definitely. But at that time, it wasn't helpful.KK: So you walk through this, this journey and will really having an incentive to heal thyself, like really looking at ways to heal thyself, and going through natural paths and so forth. What came of it? what was it mostly, nonconventional medications, was it meditation was a nutrition what changed for you? And was it effective?AF: Yes, so I saw a naturopath who was amazing at homeopathy. She prescribed a remedy. It was all so new to me and I thought, this is kind of neat and she told me ‘this is going to match your physical symptoms, but also your sort of personality, your essence, your emotional body' it really looked at the whole being, and it made sense to a part of me. I remember taking that that remedy, and my hair was falling and at the time really bad, and that got better. I remember my joints were really achy and not got better. So, I got really interested in lit up by homeopathy. It actually inspired me to go to school for homeopathic medicine, because it helped me so much in my own journey that I thought ‘I want to offer this to others'KK: Wow. So basically, you wanted to help create that magic for other people. You saw how the homeopathy improved your quality of life, and improved your symptoms, and wanted to create that. That loveliness for the greater for the greater masses. How has that journey been? when it came to getting people healthier - how's that been for you?AF: I loved having a private practice. I loved sitting with people, I loved holding space for their highest vision of who they were. Everybody I feel like we are sort of conditioned to feel like there's always something wrong with us, you know that everything over the messages are always coming at us that there's something wrong with us. I believe that my private practice held space for the truth that you have this vital force, you are divine, how can we just remind your body? how can we remind your spirit? so my practice ended up turning into like a homeopathic practice. But then of course, I started to weave in indigenous ways of being and knowing and indigenous healing because that's who I am at the core. That's what I was discovering about myself. So, it was a combination of spiritual healing and then the homeopathic medicine.KK: I think that's what really attracted me to what you were what you were throwing down, was this the ‘spiritual' component adding that indigenous side. Who you are to a healing practice and delivering it to patients. I must say, as ignorant as possible. I have no idea what that would look like. I have no idea not only what it would look like, and just the impact it can have. So, walk us through the potential and what treatment would look like, what the outcomes could be. I mean, I don't know if you need to give a specific case, but just give us a sense of what the potential is from your practice?KK: Well, I tend to attract a lot of people who had anxiety or depression. That was like a lot of mental health that tended to come through my practice. So, people would want to get off meds, like anxiety meds, or depression meds, and we would just do that with their doctor, they would be tapering, and then this homeopathy would support sort of their tapering off and bring them back to sort of that truth that they do have something within the MEK and help them balance themselves and come back to that healing. So, I saw a lot of a lot of folks with that. I saw a lot of folks with autoimmune conditions because that's what I lived. So, I tended to know a lot about that. I'd say that people's arthritis got better. Their fatigue got better. They their movement was better; they just had more ease and grace in their lives. I think, on the spirit level, they felt more connected to who they were, and for some reason, that just trickled down to their physical body. So, they would feel more connected to themselves through guided journeys, or meditations, or I would do hands on healing. They would come home to that truth, but they have power, they have presence, they have medicine, and for some reason that like switching on that light bulb really helped people.KK: That's amazing. We talk a little bit about on the show, that whole mind body connection, how it's all tied, how you feel, how you're doing upstairs affects your body and your ability to heal and to get better. I'm just really interested to hear what its like to walk through the term, how did you phrase it again, you're walking journey? Your guided meditation? what does that look like?AF: Yeah, so from an indigenous perspective we really believe in the power of dreaming and visioning and quiet because that's when you can hear spirit. So, getting somebody in that state of quietness, when they're listening to their own connection to spirit was so powerful. So, what maybe animal spirits might come in to help with medicine that they want to offer, or it might be their ancestors, or their grandmothers or their guides. So, there was a lot of spirits support, helping people and then some of the sorts of techniques that were used were of a shamanic. I've taken a lot of training around like shamanic enters, there's a lot of energy healing energy work, that would shift some of the blockages maybe for a vital force to flow through more effectively. It always came back to that person, again, like sort of seeing and remembering, oh, my goodness, I can do this, like, I have sovereignty in my own being and body. I have I have power, because I think sometimes in the medical system, we can sometimes feel like we don't. Our power, we kind of give it over to say, ‘well, you have all the answers' and that might be true. They might have answers, but we have answers to.KK: Yeah, we have an ability to call on to contribute to our own healing. Right. I mean, like I said, this is not the typical approach to medicine, I've been practicing almost for 20 years. We don't often add a spiritual component and, and, and so forth. Do you like how the results been in your practice? Asha, when you add these elements, on top of everything else that they're receiving? How do you feel the response has been?AF: Well, I no longer practice privately anymore, but I had a practice for 15 years, and it was really busy. So, the word of mouth was always really, really strong. I was booked solid with a waiting list. I would say the results were really, really amazing. People tend to leave my space, just feeling uplifted and feeling better. So, I wish I could quantify that with like, you know, we had this many cures or whatever that is, but I think that's the difference between being healed and being cured. I think we look for a cure, but we kind of forget about, what kind of healing leaps have we made? how much more satisfaction do we have in life? how much more peace do we have in our heart? how much more gratitude and joy is emanating from our system and ourselves? I think those things are maybe not measurable, but they are really important.KK: Oh, man. Absolutely. I think especially now, I feel like this is so valuable coming up, post pandemic where people were from a spirituality perspective, from a mental health perspective, just beat down. We're seeing the resurgence, unfortunately, of so many ailments, which is obviously very complicated because of lack of access to care, people weren't getting screenings, and so forth. This is something that I feel like could be so valuable to so many. I think one of the magical things that you're doing ashes is, is creating that at scale now, you're really trying to make this accessible to not just a patient in front of you, to everyone. So how are you doing that right now?AF: So, I closed my private practice maybe four years ago now. At that time, I wanted to bring all these teachings online. I created like a global membership with indigenous teachings and healing. I loved doing that. So that really like scaled up the folks I was able to touch. At that same time, I got a book deal by through Hay House, and that has just expanded my reach, I think, to all the people that I can touch with my words. Writing that book is just it's so interesting, because you write this book, and this little cocoon was in the pandemic, my littlest was two, and they were home. It was kind of a disaster, but I put myself in this little cave. I wrote this book. I didn't realize I didn't really think ‘Oh, these words might actually touch people, oh, these words might actually be shared by people' I just kind of thought I'm gonna write this, put this out there. Now it's rippling out way bigger than I could have ever imagined. It's just rippling out in so many ways. That's the most important thing for me is that people remember who they are. They're touched by my words and it kind of ignites something within them. That was my intention for the book was that they could see that that presence that they are, it's called ‘You are the medicine' that they are the medicine, they carry medicine. And they can share that with other people too because we need that message shared, I think.KK: Absolutely. Absolutely. Obviously, the book is out you do public speaking engagements. I saw also you're doing workshops amongst folks, walk us through that, is it small workshops? Is it organizations? who are you seeing?AF: Yeah. So, for the longest time, when I was in my private practice, I did healing circles. That was a way that my medicine was shared. I was doing a lot of those probably hundreds and hundreds of healing circles. Then when my book came out, actually last year, it came out last March. Folks begin to ask me to come and speak to bigger audiences. So, it's lit me up. So huge, so yeah, it's some like health conferences. People really need healing right now, so people are asking me to come and do like opening ceremonies as an indigenous person to offer some messages around like cyclical living. It's really the vibe of healing. Everybody just seems to need it. So, I've been invited to do that and it's something that I've always wanted to do in like a bigger scale. So, it feels so in alignment, I hope it continues, because it's really something that lights me up. But yeah, those workshops, you know, I do smaller workshops, during the pandemic online as such, that's how we connected so I was invited to a lot of people's programs to share, and to offer that healing component to their work too. So, I love being asked into spaces.KK: What are the principles that happen there? When we're doing a healing practice or speaking to the masses is it is it a matter of ‘Hey, folks take more time to be with yourself and, and or listen to this guided meditation' what's some of the take homes people leave with when they when they hear Asha throw down?KK: So many times I speak of the medicine meal because our traditional medicine meal speaks about the importance of the whole system. So, I'll take us through the way of living seasonally and cyclically and listening because we are Earth. All of us have been colonized away from that that truth that we are we do live seasonally, and we go through our highs and our lows, and the world wants to tell us ‘no, you have to be hustling all the time'  and then we end up in burnout. So many of my messages are around because I've had to do it myself. How do I come home to the medicine of rest? How do I come home to the medicine of listening? all the things that the world pulls us out of my message tends to be around that and I love working with animal spirit medicines. The animal teachings those are brought a lot into my teachings and then we always do a guided journey. I have done this with thousands of people. I can say that almost everyone that I've ever worked with has seen an animal spirit or they're able to see sensor I do believe that I can hold a space somehow that can get people visioning and get people into that space where they're connecting to something greater than themselves.KK: Wow. Wow. So how do how do people get in more in tune with resting and listening? How do we get more in tune with our seasonal aspects of life?KK: Such a good question, I think it's really hard. I think the first question to ask ourselves is about our relationship to the systems. how has colonization impacted us? How has the patriarchy How is capitalism? just feeling the impacts of that collective energy and how we've marinated in it, it's just sort of an acknowledgement and validating ‘Oh, right, we come by this honestly' because we were born into it. And this is like the, the energy that's up all the time. There's a lot of unwinding. Especially if you have ancestral wounding, or generational trauma that is connected to a lot of the folks that I work with do have. So, we have to dive deep into that healing and say, ‘our ancestors did this so we don't have to anymore' We can take that like labor off of our back. We're allowed to invite in rest and ease and abundance and it's hard for folks of color to really lean into that, because our cells are telling us something different. It's a lot of journeying, reflecting, going into our dream time, I think it's like simple of just like rest actually going to bed earlier to say ‘Oh, my dream time is here, It's going to offer me some medicine and some wisdom' Can I allow myself to have that? So might be like sound kind of strange but to me, going to bed early during this winter season is a way that I receive so much wisdom.KK: I mean, it makes sense. It's a time to hibernate, recharge, with the sun going down that much earlier there's a lot of a lot of things pointing towards being more restful during that time. The other question? this might be a tough one. I'm putting you on the spot here. What's the guided journey? I don't know if we could do one or if that's too difficult. I want to get a sense; I think our listeners will get the chance to showcase Asha skills. You know?AF: I would love to.KK: Yeah. If you're interested, let's drill down.AF: Definitely, we're talking about rest, we're gonna set the intention for this journey, to connect with an animal being so you know, we talk about spirit animals or animal spirits. We want to do this in an appropriate way where we're appreciating this animal. So, I'm just going to start by saying whatever comes forward to you, to trust what you get, to trust if we've not worked together before, your spirit knows. Then in a way after, when the animal comes to honor it with deep gratitude, because it's an important practice and teaching. We're gonna start with closing our eyes and if you're seated, you can just feel your feet on the ground. We acknowledge the earth beneath us, the land beneath us. Just feel the land beneath you. I'm going to acknowledge that I'm on the lands of the Anishinaabe. We are still here. Feel the spirit of the land and all that it's seen and experienced, rising up through your feet, warming you comforting you, grounding you, with every breath you take. Today we ask for all of the beings that wish to support and guide and surround us to be present here. We call upon the sacred door an opening to the spirit world. The store is shining with golden light and around the light. There's this rainbow light. We feel this rainbow light spark ling and shining so bright. But as you walk towards it today, it flushes and washes upon you. Washing over you and you begin to feel sparkles of reds and purples and violets, greens and golds, pinks and turquoises in your own cells and tissues for you our prismatic being shining and sparkling here.  As you walk through, you see the land beneath your feet, your feet are bare, and you sink your feet into the soil, squishing your toes with every step. You continue walking, feeling yourself being led down this path and in the distance, there is an ancient forest. The forest looks so inviting the trees and the plants that are here are familiar to you in some way. You walk yourself over to this forest. As you step in, you breathe and the medicines that are here. The medicines that are perfect for your body and your spirit today surrounds you. With every step, you walk in deeper, the forest gets a bit darker, surrounding you with care, holding you with love. As you walk deeper, we set that intention.  That intention for the animal spirit that is helping us the most right now to appear in some way. As you are closer, there's a clearing where the sun is peeking down through the trees. As you walk closer, we asked for that animal to become clearer, more powerful, and to appear for us in some way. Notice what you see, listen to what you sense or feel. who arrives for you? Trust this animal gets closer to you. You ask them ‘why are you appearing for me right now? What are you here to remind me of that I have forgotten about myself?' and do you listen. You ask this animal ‘What is the word that I need to carry with me in my heart? The word that will remind me of who I am this year?' and you listen. This animal becomes really sparkly, it wishes to align with your energy. You step into this light, and you feel this rush of light source through your mind body and spirit. The medicine of this animal dropping in tear being you feel that message in your heart that it was just to offer you. You feel yourself walking back out of that forest with that message from that animal making your way all the way back to that path where you started carrying that animal medicine with you, honoring it with gratitude and love and moving it all the way back to the door. Taking a breath here, the animal places a gift in your hands so that you may remember them that you are walking with them. You walk through that door and then you breathe yourself back into your space. Feeling your feet on the floor feeling the lands beneath your body and when you feel ready you can open your eyes. Welcome back.KK: Wow. Wow, that was quite an experience.AF: what did you see? if anything?KK: It was some form of bird, a hawk or something like that. The message was like love, just focus on love.  Past me in terms of an object image just some rocks, but yeah, love. Bird, love, rocks. That was moving.AF: Yeah, it's always is different based on the energy that I'm sitting with. But today, the animal really said, ‘I want to come into your heart' So when you doubt your path, or you forget who you, place your hands there and just activate that energy there. I got a big moose. I got a moose. So, that was beautiful, but it was just really to remember that like they are here for us, to remind us to come home to ourselves. You can honor that Hawk in some way. Get your kids to make a little altar for it.KK: Absolutely. It's funny as you were saying, animal I was thinking Lion. I don't know why I've been thinking about lions lately. A lot, too. I thought that's where I was gonna go. But the image that came to me as you were speaking was a hawk. It was a bird was substance.AF: You know, for the listeners, I know everybody the questions ‘what does it mean?' Right? And there are different ways you can look up. The first question I'd ask myself is ‘what does it mean to you?' Right? What does that animal? How does that animal move in the wild? What strengths do you think that animal has? How does it carry itself? All those things are the medicines it's bringing you. Then of course, you can look up on Google if you want to see like, what is the animal spirit? Next year, I'm doing an Oracle deck that will have all the animal cards in it so that I can say you can look at my Oracle deck and see what they mean. But right now, there's a couple of books ‘Animal Speak' by Ted Andrews is really good, too.KK: Wow. It must be pretty powerful. Doing this in a group setting. I'm curious to hear what people like the feedback that you get after having such a amazing, guided journey.AF: Yeah, people always, it's something I know because I've practiced so many times and edit so many times that it's opening up some sort of portal to some sort of different understanding and people always come back touched. So that's a common people say they feel touched or like part of their spirits moved.KK: I mean, I'll be honest with you, that's how I'm feeling at this time. Touched. Something changed. So, thank you, Asha, for allowing me to be part of that. That was something. If you hear a little bit me being a little off. It's because I am a little off. After that, was emotion. It's a bit vulnerable. Why love? Why the hawk? It's, it's clearly something that was needed. Once again, thank you. Asha.AF: You're welcome.KK: I can't remember if it was at the conference, at the conference or, or another time, but, you know, we often talk about systemic racism and the experience of being a person of color when it comes to being treated as a patient. I wonder if some of this ties into your experience, and I don't know if you've had any, any experience that made you really concerned about how systemic racism affects our people?KK: Yes, I had one incident. It's so interesting, because I doubted myself for so long, I gaslighted myself for so long thinking of that was nothing but then when I had the capacity to think about it, it was it was definitely something.  My eldest was two at the time. I remember just, he wasn't a good sleeper. So, I was really overwhelmed and burnt out and I got a really bad pneumonia. I was caring for him, I kind of left it a little bit too long. By the time I got to the hospital, I couldn't breathe at all. It was very serious. In the wintertime, I always wear my mukluks because that's what I wear. I think I probably had beaded earrings on when I went to the hospital. They put me in a corner, which I understand lots of people have had that experience. There's not room and all of the things but I was there for a really long time considering I couldn't breathe and I was really, really struggling. Then when the doctor finally came in in the middle of  the night he said to me, he looked at me and he said to me, he knew I couldn't breathe. And he said, ‘How much alcohol have you had to drink? And do you have a home?' Those were the first things he said to me. So, he didn't ask me how I was doing or what I was struggling with. I think I was so shocked by that, that I just I froze, I said ‘Yes, I have a home with my husband and my son, and I haven't drank any alcohol' I sat with that probably for a good six months, not really knowing what that meant. Then, you know, it sticks with you. So, I started speaking about it, because at that time, that was like 2014. But indigenous, I feel like we've been so invisible across Turtle Island. That continues to happen. So, it wasn't really until the children were found her in the residential schools that people released her talking about some of these issues. So, I held on to it for quite a while before I really started writing about it and sharing about it. Of course, people are shocked and they say ‘how, like, how does this happen?' the truth is, it happens all the time, every single day. Oftentimes, I think indigenous people just feel like we just suck it up, like, well, that's just part of who we are. That's what everybody thinks we are all about. So, we don't speak on it, because it's, nobody's gonna hear and listen to us.KK: What you're describing I'm sorry, you experienced that. I've seen it firsthand. Okay, folks, I've seen this s**t firsthand whether I was med student in Edmonton, whether it was being a trainee or staff person in Ottawa, you name it. This, unfortunately, that attitude towards racialized folks was, but especially when I'm talking about with indigenous population is a reality. I talked many times, the episode we did with Mike Curlew about Sioux Lookout, not that long ago, have segregated hospitals, running out of medication, running out of sedative medications, antibiotics in our own country. Yes, we have been increasing the awareness, which is great. In terms of these issues, like George Floyd, the residential schools, you're hearing a movement and you're seeing that push towards diversity, inclusion, and equity, and so on. But I'll tell you this, this is not enough. I'll just say, we're moving in the right direction, but it is not enough. These attitudes are deep seated. They're systemic. From my perspective, maybe I've got a little bit of edge here, but it's like no more. No tolerance for this s**t. I am just done. I've been in those experiences to Asha, where you, you question? ‘Oh, maybe it's not really me, or maybe its what I was wearing' I'm now at this stage. F**k that. I'm sorry. No, enough, is enough. I hear these stories and it just breaks my heart. Folks this is one example. Picture yourself. You're relatively new mother is right, with your two-year-old. You've been fighting off going into a hospital because you want to be there for your family, you can't breathe because you have pneumonia, and some cat comes in and asks you how much you drink? Do you have a home? what part of me is screaming ‘I have a problem?' Just by the way I look you make these assumptions. How are you feeling at that time? How vulnerable do you feel you bring your life in somebody's hands, that is judging you out of the gate? This is this is not right and I hear these, I hear the naysayers ‘who gives a s**t about D&I and all that stuff' If I'm being honest, there's ways to approach it and there are ways not to approach it, and I think people are trying, but this is why diversity matters. This is why it matters. This is why you need people at the table, at your boardroom, in your exec room that look like us. So, they could so they could address these needs, they could put awareness to these needs and do all we can to prevent it from happening to some of our most vulnerable folks, enough of abandoning these people. I'm just so sick of it. I'm so tired of it. I know I'm making this about me a little bit I'm sorry, a few months ago my kid got my eldest kid got called the N word at school. I gotta say, it was very triggering for me, I look at my nine-year-old son and knowing now that his innocence to a certain degree has been taken away from him. He knows now get that sense that we've many of us have had, you and I have had that we're being judged by our appearance. He now knows what that's all about. I don't want that for my kids. I don't want that for my boys. I know it's a reality. I know are gonna have to go through talking to them about how they conduct themselves with police. I will have that conversation. But you and I shouldn't need to have that conversation. It's just heartbreaking hearing like this not that long ago. How old is he now?AF: He's ten so that was eight years ago.KK: Eight years ago, but s**t. Like enough? I just went off there unexpectedly. But it's just like I said, I get triggered by this s**t. How did that frame your practice? Do you feel like that change the way you deliver? Care? Did you like it? Was that motivating in any way? How's that shaped you?AF: Well, something I was really, really present with was the fact that I am in a privileged indigenous woman, and I have a ton of support family friends.  I have a home; I have a ton of that and it impacted me so deeply. I just think about folks who don't have that type of support system, to even go bring it to a therapist, or to even like, you know, it just keeps building up building up building up. So, it really struck me in that way. It really struck me that I need to be a voice for those who don't have a voice or a voice who don't have those who don't have the capacity to speak up. That's when I started speaking up on social media, I can't not do this. So. And then I wrote this letter called ‘Dear White woman that wants to be like me' because at the time, I would just see a ton of whiteness. I know people hate this term, white women, but it was white women, it wasn't black women, it wasn't South Asian women, it was white women taking our teachings and our beautiful things and then using them for their profit or using them for their advancement. Obviously, all these white women rising in the spiritual places on social media and in their online businesses, and I thought ‘I've been in business for 20 years. Why is this? How, like, why is this happening? What like, why am I so invisible?'  it just hurt to have these things taken and no acknowledgement of where you're taking it from, of the history of our country of indigenous people. So, when I wrote that letter, I wrote it on my blog, and I thought, oh, maybe like 20 people will read it. It went viral. And I think 25,000 people shared it. I think it was at hospital incident that just kind of led to this, like, speak up, let your voice be heard, even if it's scary, all those things. Then when that went out really wide. I said ‘there's no turning back now'. This is this is the truth. This is the truth about how our country doesn't see us. I want to be a voice for those who cannot speak it.KK: I want to really commend you Asha for being that voice, because it's not easy. You have to go to a difficult place anytime you speak up. When we speak to issues such as this, go to your own experiences. It's great to have that courage and to have that will and it's what we need. It's what we need. That's why we have a mentorship program for black youth that are aspiring to be physicians and then go into the medical field and one of the things that I'm trying to do instill in these guys is it's okay to be authentic, I want you to be you, I want you guys to be you, for your mental health your overall wellness. There are a lot of messages that being you is not safe, but I'll tell you, we're gonna change that.  We're gonna be our authentic selves walking through the door, so that you could thrive. It's similar to the Impact event just like enough of just surviving people. I want you cats to thrive. When y'all excel, I want you to get a seat at the table and realize that you could achieve your dreams. When I give that example of walking into a hospital and a young black kid was a patient and he saw me he's like ‘Wow, that's incredible. There's a black doctor here' at the time, I thought it was awesome. I'm being a role models to folks. At the same time, I was like, how? Why am I a unicorn? I shouldn't be special. There's no way I should be special. So like a lot of you know, racialized community members don't even think this is a reality. Us doing what we do, they don't think it's a reality. So, you know, putting ourselves out there being an examples, being a voice to say like enough is enough to important.AF: I realized how long I carried sort of so much responsibility over responsibility. When the, the children were discovered, I said ‘If every Canadian could take one piece of like, what's on my shoulders, you know, if you could just carry some of this with us, and really be allies for our voices' Yes, we do this and it's important and we have to and we're so tired of always having to do this. I'd rather just go dance in my living room to be honest, I want to call him that grace, ease, joy, abundance. Speaking the truth doesn't always do that. I know I'm making huge changes for the next generations. I feel like it's so impactful and also I'm tired. So, I would love to like invite folks to like, can you also just like, you know, spread some awareness and care. Just care.KK: Yeah, more importantly be that ally. I mean, just sit with it, think of the kids in that school. Think of a kid who is alone, away from their people, abused and dying alone. How can you not have compassion? Most of us are our parents, think of your own child. Really sit with it. Think of your own child being away from you and being abused and neglected. This happening in our own country, these attitudes persist, that we could treat people like animals. Still to leave that and not have a lens of compassion or not want to be an ally. Screw that, man. It's time. It's time. I'm, I'm ready to drop kick some of this racism stuff in the pelvis. I've always been a bit. You know, we need to do better but George Floyd, residential schools, seeing it in my own child. You know, for me we have no choice but to speak up. We really don't. Oh my God, this is an emotional episode, Asha. Going from love, the anger to sadness. I'm exhausted. This that's a sign of an amazing interview. So, I wholeheartedly want to thank you for all that you're doing - your courage, your voice. The ability to reach so many folks is what we need and just being creative to like, to you thinking outside the box on how I can reach more and more folks. I really want to commend you. Can you give folks the best ways of connecting with your book? ‘You are the medicine' , your website, I also want them will have a link to ‘Dear White women' tooAF: Yeah, my websites ashafrost.com and if folks are open to looking at oracle decks, I have my Oracle deck coming out the end of February. It's called ‘Sacred Medicine' Oracle. It is so beautifully illustrated. You get to choose a medicine for your day, every day. So, I invite folks into that next part of my work and then follow me on Instagram asha.frost.  I'm there most often.KK: Your IG is fresh and growing.

On this week's episode I share my fascination with owls, a recent up close and personal experience with owls and highlights of what owls can teach us. Owls ground me, quiet me, remind me to slow down, be still and listen to the my own inner wisdom. According to Ted Andrews, "Owls represent the Mystery of Magic, Omens, Silent Wisdom, and Vision in the Night. No bird has as much myth and mystery surrounding it than the owl. The owl is the symbol of the feminine, the moon, and the night. It has been believed to have great healing powers both in North America and on other continents. The owl is the bird of magic and darkness of prophecy and wisdom.” My intimate encounter with Jules, the screech owl, mesmerized and humbled me. Check out the show notes for links to the book and resort center I referenced. Enjoy the podcast!

Have you ever found a feather on your path and wondered what it meant? Or had an animal in the wild capture your attention?  If you love animals and nature and want to understand them, Animal Speak is a MUST for your spiritual library! Nature is speaking to us all the time, but what is it saying? This book answers that question, but more importantly, it teaches you how to learn the language of life through nature. In this episode, I will share my own miraculous experiences with animals and how this book helped me to understand messages from the animal kingdom. I will also share the author's unique perspective and journey with nature and how it can heal the planet. Have you ever had a miraculous animal encounter? I would love to hear about it!   Key Learnings: If you went to another country, you would need to learn the language to be a productive part of society. It is the same with the natural world. We need to learn the language of nature, which is our own environment, to be productive in it. Animals communicate to us all the time. Understanding their messages helps us to understand ourselves. Rather than being our adversaries, animals become our teachers and companions. Animals will show us the true majesty of life itself. They restore our childlike wonder at the world, and they reawaken our lost belief in magic, dreams and possibilities.  “The natural world is part of your environment and your life, and if you truly wish to become productive and creative within your world, you will need to learn some of its languages.

Corbie Mitleid believes that we don't need to be stuck in our story.  That we can cross the bridge from fear to fearlessness and fly.  She states that you can be "famous" or "fearless".  "Famous" means Full Acceptance Means Everything and "Fear" is False Evidence Feeling Real.  We are fearful when we are looking at what isn't really there, but might be in the future.  Ask yourself these questions:Why am I X about this? (afraid, depressed, angry or confused?)What do I think would happen if I stopped being X about that? Corbie knows the value of the Examined Life.  Through divorce, abuse, poverty and life-threatening illness, she found meeting challenges and asking the next question meant facing each situation with strength, courage and humor.  Today, she's an intuitive consultant and teacher, with a career spanning the globe and clients worldwide. Follow Angel!Podcast link. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-soulful-mind/IG: angelevangerfb: angelevangerFind out your intuition SUPERPOWER!  Use this link:www.angelevanger.com/quizwww.angelevanger.com/meditationsCorbie MitleidFIRE THROUGH SPIRITwww.corbiemitleid.com518-275-9575877-321-CORBIECROSS THE BRIDGE from fear to fearlessness - -  and fly!Author of CLEAN OUT YOUR LIFECLOSETwww.cleanoutyourlifecloset.comTHE PSYCHIC YELLOW BRICK ROADhttps://corbiemitleid.com/psychic-yellow-brick-road/fb: Corbie Mitleid Physic and Fire Through Spiritig: corbiemitleidut: corbie MitleidRecommended Books:Psychic Protection by Ted Andrews - https://www.amazon.com/Psychic-Protection-Balance-Beginnings-Dragonhawk/dp/1888767308/ref=sr_1_1?crid=175LDN61C6VMH&keywords=psychic+protection+by+ted+andrews&qid=1659991210&sprefix=phychic+protection+by+ted+andrews%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-1Opening to Channel by Sanaya Roman - https://www.amazon.com/Opening-Channel-Connect-Guide-Sanaya/dp/0915811057/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3T5W40NILTGMZ&keywords=opening+to+channel&qid=1659991432&s=books&sprefix=opening+to+chan%2Cstripbooks%2C143&sr=1-1  

Personal Encounter With Star Beings - Joanie received her Master of Social Work degree from Columbia University and she holds a post-graduate certificate in Gestalt therapy. In New York City, she provided individual and group therapy for ten years. Her path took a detour when she became acutely chemically sensitive.

She worked with a shaman of South American tradition and taught herself Gary Craig's Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Joanie received the ability to facilitate hands-on healing after listening to a friend describe what he had learned in a series of workshops. As she opened, she became gifted with an array of healing and channeling abilities. In April 2011, Joanie was ordained as a Reverend in The Church of All Creation in High Bridge, New Jersey. Her extensive spiritual library is filled with information that she has incorporated into her work. Her "teachers" include: Esther Abraham-Hicks, Ted Andrews, Luke Chan, Rabbi David A. Cooper, Wayne Dyer, Donna Eden, David Feinstein, Shakti Gawain, David Hawkins, Lao Tzu, Louise Hay, Stephen Lewis, Carolyn Myss, Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer, Don Miguel Ruiz, Robert Schwartz, Eckhart Tolle, and Doreen Virtue, to name a few. Today, Joanie is based in Central New Jersey and employs her gifts for those who wish a greater sense of well-being. She helps bring comfort and clarity to one's daily life. Many seek her guidance on a myriad of issues, including finances, health, relationships, spirituality, career, and family.

Do you have a favorite animal that carries a special meaning for you? Have you had any unusual encounters with wildlife in your life? Are you familiar with your power animals? Are you looking for Divine Guidance and a stronger sense of intuition and Inner Knowing? Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite, my friends! This week's episode is a sequel to my discussion from Episode 78: A Discussion On “Animal Speak: The Spiritual, Symbolic & Magical Powers Of Creatures Great And Small” By Ted Andrews. As promised, this solocast focuses on power animals and the medicine they offer to empower, support and heal. Whether we are aware of it or not, we humans each hold a special heartfelt connection with specific power animals that resonate with our being. These spiritual animal allies may shift to match our experiences, wounds and strengths as we travel through different chapters of life. Drawing on the wisdom and teachings from Ted Andrews' popular book, “Animal-Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small,” I share details on the medicine and symbolism of five carefully selected power animals. Reconnecting with the deeper part of myself that craves communion with nature has rekindled my passion for studying animals, plants and the indigenous cultures that live in harmony with Mother Earth. I believe, as those cultures do, that animals bridge the spiritual and physical realms and have much to teach us. Every creature has a spirit and soul and plays a significant role in the grand scheme of life. How do you discover your own power animals, and what do they represent in your life? I hope you find the answers you're looking for in this special episode. Please share, subscribe and I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on my podcast in a comment or review!

Did you realize that the animals around you can deliver important messages to you? Or better yet, pass along their uniquely characteristic energies to help you along in your own journey? The Universe speaks through infinite channels to get our attention and wake us up to our journey, and the sudden, unexpected presence of animals in our lives (think, "wow...that deer came out of nowhere" or "that hummingbird flew right past my ear!") are often revealed to be significant messages for us at that point in our life. Whether they are real life, unique and vivid encounters, or they animals make themselves known in dreaming, these aren't just chance encounters or coincidences. Rather, it's an opportunity to discover what wisdom or medicine they are trying to bring to you on behalf of the Universe. (Psst...the symbolism, messages, and wisdom are usually wildly relevant to your current situation). Meo and Shannon talk about the history of animals as companions and messengers to humans, and break down the differences between spirit animals and power animals (think of differing levels of occurrence, intensity, and longevity in your life). They talk about the ways to interpret the messages and what resources are available for this, as well as how to maximize the integration of wisdom these messengers of the Universe bring to us. There's a whole world of communication to discover through animal messengers! Have fun! Spirit animal book resources: Animal Speak by Ted Andrews; Animals Spirit Guides by Stephen Farmer There are also a number of internet resources that provide detailed information on the spiritual meaning and messages of animals of all kinds, including how to connect and work with spirit and power animals.

Welcome back to Awakening Aphrodite! Do you have a pet? Do you love animals? ME TOO! In this episode, we explore the classic book, “Animal Speak: The Spiritual and Magical Powers of Creatures Great and Small” by Ted Andrews who was a pioneer and leading expert in helping us understand animals and nature as well as the metaphysical and spiritual fields of life at large. Although I never had the opportunity to actually meet Ted, I consider him to be a mentor of mine because his work has profoundly affected my life. We explore modern technology's interference with authentic connection and look to Ted's 10 tips for regaining our lost gift of communication with wildlife, omens and the symbolism that emerges from our subconscious awareness: Experience nature firsthand. Examine the wildlife in your environment. Orient yourself in your landscape. Pay closer attention to physical signs of nature. When in nature, pay attention to what stands out most strongly. Notice the colors you encounter in nature. Attend to the numbers associated with the animals you encounter. Notice the four directions and their significance. Pay attention to the animal activities you come across. Make a conscious effort to connect with nature.

We explore modern technology's interference with authentic connection and look to Ted's 10 tips for regaining our lost gift of communication with wildlife, omens and the symbolism that emerges from our subconscious awareness: Experience nature firsthand. Examine the wildlife in your environment. Orient yourself in your landscape. Pay closer attention to physical signs of nature. When in nature, pay attention to what stands out most strongly. Notice the colors you encounter in nature. Attend to the numbers associated with the animals you encounter. Notice the four directions and their significance. Pay attention to the animal activities you come across. Make a conscious effort to connect with nature.

We've all done it; we've created Sacred Space by calling the Spirits of the Four Directions. We stand at each direction and draw the appropriate pentagram and we Invoke the Spirits that have the appropriate character. But where does all that mumbo jumbo come from? Some say Gerald Gardner, which is correct to a point. Others say that Witches have been doing that on their own and in secret, like, forever - which is really not at all true. So this week we're going to find out who or what the Watchtowers are and where they came from. They may or may not have something to do with Archangels, and Archangels may or may not be a Christian thing. Don't worry; I will not leave you in suspense for long. But, like everything else, The Watchtowers DO have something to do with Stars; and so does the story of Orpheus, and his Lyre. We'll see how those tie together. And I also have a spoken word meditation from Ted Andrews, called "The Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram". Be well. Do good. Enjoy the show!

The New Moon is a great time to pause, take stock and realign with our intentions. On 7th September, 2021, the New Moon occurs in the sign of Virgo and this is the ideal time to contemplate, “How can I improve my physical wellbeing so I can then advance spiritually?” To help you in this process, Adam has pulled two oracle cards for each sign to offer guidance. The first card is from “The Nature-Speak Oracle” by Ted Andrews. The second is from “Magic of the Essential Oils” by Adam Barralet.To keep updated on the 9/9 release of the “Magic of the Essential Oils” oracle deck, be sure to subscribe to my newsletter at www.adambarralet.comTo see the twelve cards spread head to https://www.facebook.com/mycrystalconnections/ or https://www.instagram.com/adambarralet/Here is the link for the podcast on ensuring the water we drink is high quality: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/dr-hotzes-wellness-revolution/id1313117048?i=1000497215280 FOLLOW ADAMhttps://www.youtube.com/user/adambarralethttps://www.facebook.com/mycrystalconnections/https://www.instagram.com/adambarralet/FREE weekly e-newsletter exploring crystals and morehttp://www.adambarralet.com/BRING MAGICK HOMEMy books, oracle cards and morehttps://www.adambarralet.com/offerings-from-adam-shopMy monthly online crystal salehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/137571803636756/My favourite essential oilshttps://www.adambarralet.com/ordering-doterraKEEP IT SIMPLE!All my detailshttp://linktr.ee/adambarralet

This morning while taking my dog, Dusty Boy for a walk, a doe and two fawns bounded across our path, of course Dusty barked like crazy. And soon all I saw were bright white tails bouncing through the tall green grass into the woods. I recalled that the deer symbolizes gentleness, warmth, caring, and overall peacefulness... that's pretty much how my day has been. Through nature's creatures, many life lessons are taught, and they have been passed down by many cultures and through multiple generations. As we seek oneness in our lives, animal symbolism can play an important role. In today's episode, we will explore your nine power animals, nature's creatures that illustrate your abilities, talents, gifts, and lessons or challenges in your life. Basically, when you call upon the power of an animal, you are asking to gain an understanding of that particular animal's strength, and essence. In this modern day, we are very fortunate to have many indigenous teachings to guide us. One of my favorite resources is entitled “Animal Speaks” by the late Ted Andrews. In the following visualization, we will walk in balance with Mother Earth, and uncover the nine power creatures that you personally resonate with along your path. Let these creatures effortlessly arise in your mind's eye or imagination. Our intention today is to simply see who arrives ...who comes into your vision. And then afterwards, you can look up the deeper meaning by checking out the resources on the show note's page.  As we conclude our walk, in today's episode, gather these nine creatures into your life. Then repeat this process as often as necessary to call in your personal power. Call in your nature's creature's guidance. Call it into existence... “Call IT in with Dar!” 

Personal Encounter With Star Beings - Joanie received her Master of Social Work degree from Columbia University and she holds a post-graduate certificate in Gestalt therapy. In New York City, she provided individual and group therapy for ten years. Her path took a detour when she became acutely chemically sensitive. She left conventional medicine, found complementary (alternative) healing, and ventured on a spiritual journey. As Joanie healed, she spent a great deal of time reading and researching spirituality and healing. She realized her newfound knowledge far exceeded the training she had received. She worked with a shaman of South American tradition and taught herself Gary Craig's Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Joanie received the ability to facilitate hands-on healing after listening to a friend describe what he had learned in a series of workshops. As she opened, she became gifted with an array of healing and channeling abilities. In April 2011, Joanie was ordained as a Reverend in The Church of All Creation in High Bridge, New Jersey. Her extensive spiritual library is filled with information that she has incorporated into her work. Her "teachers" include: Esther Abraham-Hicks, Ted Andrews, Luke Chan, Rabbi David A. Cooper, Wayne Dyer, Donna Eden, David Feinstein, Shakti Gawain, David Hawkins, Lao Tzu, Louise Hay, Stephen Lewis, Carolyn Myss, Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer, Don Miguel Ruiz, Robert Schwartz, Eckhart Tolle, and Doreen Virtue, to name a few. Today, Joanie is based in Central New Jersey and employs her gifts for those who wish a greater sense of well-being. She helps bring comfort and clarity to one's daily life. Many seek her guidance on a myriad of issues, including finances, health, relationships, spirituality, career, and family. Joanie is the recipient of Natural Awakenings Magazine's coveted 2012 Natural Choice Award recognizing her as Favorite Energy Healer in North Central, New Jersey. - www.joanieswhitelighthealing.comFor Your Listening Pleasure for these Lockdown / Stay-At-Home COVID and Variants Times - For all the radio shows available on The 'X' Zone Broadcast Network visit - https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv.Our radio shows archives and programming include: A Different Perspective with Kevin Randle; Alien Cosmic Expo Lecture Series; Alien Worlds Radio Show; America's Soul Doctor with Ken Unger; Back in Control Radio Show with Dr. David Hanscom, MD; Connecting with Coincidence with Dr. Bernard Beitman, MD; Dick Tracy; Dimension X; Exploring Tomorrow Radio Show; Flash Gordon; Imagine More Success Radio Show with Syndee Hendricks and Thomas Hydes; Jet Jungle Radio Show; Journey Into Space; Know the Name with Sharon Lynn Wyeth; Lux Radio Theatre - Classic Old Time Radio; Mission Evolution with Gwilda Wiyaka; Paranormal StakeOut with Larry Lawson; Ray Bradbury - Tales Of The Bizarre; Sci Fi Radio Show; Seek Reality with Roberta Grimes; Space Patrol; Stairway to Heaven with Gwilda Wiyaka; The 'X' Zone Radio Show with Rob McConnell; Two Good To Be True with Justina Marsh and Peter Marsh; and many other!That's The ‘X' Zone Broadcast Network Shows and Archives - https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv

February 23, 2021 Animal Speak has been a huge part of the universe that which I’m blessed to be part of. Ted Andrews and countless others have written books that are extremely easy to study and by way of digital devices you’re allowed to keep their experiences nearby. Animal Speak isn’t for everybody because it goes against a lot of what’s already been planted inside your beliefs. And yet have you taken note of how close nature has gotten since the arrival of this invisible beast pandemic? I write in a forest. It’s who I am. Not because I am but it’s because they said I am. How far did that fly over your head? On the morning of December 6, 2020 I wrote about the energy moving through my mind body and soul while being present with the atmosphere. I was in the forest, for it’s always been the guide. A place to listen, to watch, to speak with and belong to. My first view of the morning was the flight of a very beautiful Red Tail Hawk. So peace filled during a 29 degree sunrise. Maybe fifteen feet from my nearest touch I fall witness to a couple of deer thoroughly enjoying their breakfast. I talk with these animals. Animal Speak. The deer swish their large white tails while staring deeply into my eyes. They know, they all know that something is moving through each and every one of us. It’s changed our paths of choice and for many we’ve lost our sense of empowerment. It’s through these animals and not man’s desire and need to spread bad stories that we’re able to fall witness to a deeper meaning and more message. It’s our choice not to listen! Until you look beyond yourself and realize the importance of the deer. They represent instinct. The Red Tail Hawk reminds us to stay alert and focused. Neither of these animals say, “React or find reason to attack.” Stop for a moment. Let me share that line again. Neither of these animals say, “React or find reason to attack.” Please take note of the day this was written. December 6, 2020. One month before one of the darkest days in American history. Becoming aware of what you’re posting on social media. Making sure you aren’t a fire starter with a subject that doesn’t agree with your stomach. None of us knew of the horrifying truth that would be unveiled on January 6, 2021. Instinct while staying alert and focused gets you through invisible storms. Not stepping out there without a net to catapult a thought across a digital connection designed to give you free speech. Until they deem it wrong. Neither of the animals said, “React or find reason to attack.” Therefore the choice through avenues of Animal Speak is to find equal love and equal peace. There’s a lot to be learned when animals share their energy. Are you listening? I write in a forest. It’s who I am. Not because I am but it’s because they said I am.

Do you know your spirit animal and totems? In this episode, I share just a few of my stories of how I connect spiritually and learn from the animal kingdom. . If these encounters hadn't happened to me, I wouldn't believe them!This introductory podcast also offers tips for getting started connecting with your own power animals How do you connect with your spirit animals? First, notice if you are drawn to a certain animal for no reason or if you have encounters with a particular creature. It can be helpful to look up what characteristics that animal represents from a shamanic teaching perspective. My favorite reference for messages from the animal kingdom is Animal Speak by, Ted Andrews.  https://www.amazon.com/Animal-Speak-Spiritual-Magical-Creatures-ebook/dp/B007GAYNLY   Second, if you just happen to receive gifts with the likeness of a certain animal or if people know that you have a "thing" for a particular creature, chances are that animal represents qualities for your spiritual growth. Third, you can work with your power animal and spirit totems with guided meditations that facilitate your connection to the animal realm. These sessions are called power animal journeys.  I will be facilitating a full week of animal medicine teachings in my upcoming Shamanic Empowerment Course, EXPANDING SACRED. In addition, you can support your communication with the animal kingdom by booking one-on-one remote sessions for facilitated power animal journeys. Guided shamanic work with a facilitator deepens your connection to every kingdom of nature. Contact me for more information about personalized remote sessions at evangelinehemrick@gmail.com Finally, I'll be offering deeper podcasts on Animal Spirit Medicine. This episode is just a little introduction where I share some crazy stories that deepened my trust in my own shamanic practice and enhanced my appreciation for animals. Empower yourself with nature I have a simple reminder for you. Never underestimate the power of spending tine in nature. Let the lessons and wisdom come to you naturally. What is a totem? "A totem is a spirit being, sacred object, or symbol of a tribe, clan, family or individual. Some Native American tribes's tradition provides that each person is connected with different animals that accompany him through life, acting as guides. Different animal guides, also called spirit guides and/or power animals, come in and out of our lives depending on the direction that we are headed and the tasks that need to be completed along our journey."-www.legendsofamerica.com God is always speaking to us through the kingdoms of nature. All we have to do is pay attention and listen to the messages. Here's a way to decipher between a message and a warning from the animal kingdom. When an animal presents itself to you alive in nature, this might be a message from Spirit. However, when an animal is dead on your path, this could be a warning. In conclusion, you have the ability to know and connect with your spirit animals. Are you listening to what nature has to say to you? What messages are you receiving from the animals? What is your favorite spirit animal? I'd love to know. Leave a comment below! New podcast name for expansion and change I am excited to change the name of this podcast! The new name, Expanding Sacred, is also the name of my shamanic online course. This name reflects the spiritual growth that is taking place in all of us. We are no longer scared.  It is time for us to expand and make each day sacred!

On this episode of Beyond The Limit, we sit down with Austin Lineberry. Austin is a custom home builder who provides a hands-on experience for his clients through collaboration with land developers, architects, interior designers, and their trade partners.Austin roots grew deep along the banks of the New River in Grayson County, Virginia. Camp Dickenson was a small church camp nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains along the banks of the New River. Austin and Elizabeth met there as counselors and soon fell in love. They married and settled in Atlanta. Shortly after, Austin was introduced to the building business by Elizabeth’s dad. Ted Andrews was a custom builder who owned Lighthouse Homes with Elizabeth’s mother, Bett. Unfortunately, two years later, Ted passed away. Austin continued with the knowledge and experience he gained working with Ted, building over 80 homes for Northstar Homes and collaborating on other projects with colleagues over the next few years. In 2011, he was hired to work alongside Leonard Jacklett and build a multi-million dollar equine estate. As the success of their relationship and reputation as high-end builders became well known, they continued building on private tracts of land and in subdivisions for four years. It was this experience with his mentor that launched Austin into a career of building high-end custom homes and estates. Elizabeth, a pediatric nurse, artist, and designer, had always dreamed of designing and building custom homes with Austin. On New Year’s Day in 2016, Austin and Elizabeth broke ground together on a modern farmhouse in Milton, Georgia, and that day their dream came alive!   New River’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/newriverbuildingco/New River’s Website: http://www.newriver.build/Tyler’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twilliamsliveTyler’s Website: https://www.tylerwilliamslive.com

Do you believe in fairies? I do, but not in the way you might expect. My childhood ideas have changed. Now I think of fairies as thought forms of good energy -- helpful spirits, invisible, accessible. Hear about Ho Hsien Ku, "the immortal woman," one of the 8 fairies in the Chinese legend. Learn how to invite the fairies into your world, how to connect, what to offer. And, most of all, how to see them in the mirror.  Mentioned: "Spirits of the Earth: A Guide to Native American Nature Symbols, Stories and Ceremonies" by Bobby Lake-Thom, Medicine Grizzly Bear Mentioned:  "Enchantment of the Faerie Realm: Communicate with Nature Spirits & Elementals" by Ted Andrews

I learned a valuable lesson the day a skunk crossed my path. It was about animal totems and the magical medicine they offer. Seeing animals as spirit guides is at the heart of a public ritual I created for Samhain, the Celtic festival that marks the death of summer. The mysteries of Samhain are at the heart of the holiday we call Halloween.  The ritual offers ways you can connect with an animal totem that chooses you. Yes, it chooses you, not the other way around. You'll get a taste of the magical medicine of the bear, the bee, the hawk, the salmon.  You'll see how those gathered for the ritual called on the animals to help the survivors of the synagogue shooting in Squirrel Hill.  Books mentioned in the episode:  The Druid Animal Oracle by Philip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm Animal-Speak by Ted Andrews

How to use the physical and metaphysical properties of butterflies to create rituals for wedding ceremonies, funeral services, and memorial celebrations of life.  Did you know that in some Native American traditions, a butterfly is thought to be a living piece of a rainbow? That's just one of several nuggets from folklore and cultures around the world used to create the "Butterfly Blessings" ritual.  Originally created for a wedding, the ritual is easily adapted for birthdays and as a self-affirming activity for children.  The Butterfly Blessings ritual uses butterflies made of feathers, cloth, or paper. No live butterflies!  See the book, Animal-Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small by the late Ted Andrews.   For other gifting rituals, see Garden Gifts (Episode 5) and Gifts from the Trees (Episode 6).

Ted Andrews, my friend and coworker talks to me about his experience dealing with disordered eating. This is a topic that is widely misunderstood and often times men are left forgotten about or stigmatized in this area. Ted explains how his disordered eating came from avoiding confronting other issues going on in his life and how much seeking out help, and opening up about his problems helped him overcome this challenge.

My Nana, Angela “Angie” Gesmundo, was just that - a beautiful gift from God. To me she was a friend, a teacher, and my hero. When I needed a problem solved, or just wanted to share a story, Nana was the one I talked to. With her ‘say it like it is’ approach, she taught me life lessons: self-respect, the importance of family, and to always keep things honest. Her points were direct. “Don’t spit in the wind or it might come back and hit you in the face” is one example. Or she would say, “Listen, I won’t tell you what to do, but I will tell you what I will put up with!” Besides lessons about life, she taught love of life by example. Nana loved to dance, to sing and she wore bright stylish clothes and make up. A hairdresser by trade, she constantly surprised us with a new hair color. She was so full of youthful fun, most strangers assumed she was my mom. In her fingers, which were adorned with extremely long nails usually painted sparkly white, she often held a Marlboro cigarette, a habit she never was able to kick. Nana often talked about her family. Her mother, she recalled, came from San Giovanni la Punta in Sicily and her father, Giuseppe “Joe” Gesmundo, was from the province of Bari in Italy. Giuseppe came to America with his first wife, Anna, with whom he had three sons. Sadly, Anna died from the flu in the early 1900s. Nana’s now widowed father needed help raising his children, so he married his housekeeper, Maria, whose husband had also just died of the flu. While Maria was raising Giuseppe’s three boys, the couple had two children of their own, my Nana Angela and her brother, Joe. For reasons unknown to me, Nana did not know much about her father’s history, including where he was from. She did recall stories about his having farmed in Italy and about owning some type of land. There were also stories of his possible political ties. This historical gap left me to wonder, who was great grandfather Giuseppe and where did he come from? Nana clearly remembered from her own childhood that Joe Gesmundo had been a strict man who dressed impeccably and grew an enormous garden of row upon row of tomatoes and other vegetables at their home in Haverhill, Massachusetts. He had strict rules for his family and she never crossed them because he demanded they be followed, or else… She also recalled how her dad found his first job in America. He approached a group of Italian construction workers and asked one of them, “How do I ask the boss for a job in English?” Instead of giving him the correct response, the worker told him English swear words. The boss, did not find any humor in the bad language, and asked my great grandfather, “Who told you to say such words?” Giuseppe pointed to the man, who was laughing. The boss turned to my great grandfather and said, “You need a job? Well now you have one--- his!” According to my Nana, her dad worked as a janitor at the local bank for many years. He also started the Italian Credit Union in Haverhill, an accomplishment in which Nana took great pride. Giuseppe Gesmundo, my great grandfather, suffered a fatal heart attack on his 71st birthday on April 18, 1958, in Haverhill. It was Nana’s dream to someday visit Italy and find her relatives. She would talk about it often, looking into the distance as if she somehow knew it would remain just a dream. Sadly, shortly after I turned 18, my best friend, my Nana, my rock, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, an aggressive cancer that attacks the bones, and she died on August 20, 1990, before she could go to Italy. We now live in an age of information, when it is almost too easy to find out anything about anyone. So a few years ago I began my search, to fulfill my Nana’s dream to find her family in Italy. I began my research on the website ancestory.com where I discovered bits and pieces about Giuseppe, but nothing concrete. Then one day in my search I found his World War I draft card. On his card he had written that he was from a town in Italy called Terlizzi. As I never knew what town he was from, only that he came from Bari province, it was an important part of the puzzle. A few years went by and life got in the way, and I drifted away from my heritage research. Then in 2014 I began listening to a podcast on health and fitness, ‘The Angriest Trainer’, with Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino. That is when everything changed. The podcast is hilariously entertaining, as well as informative. It was and still is an addictive show to listen to. Their down to earth approach reminded me a lot of myself as well as my Italian relatives. No coincidence, because Vinnie and Anna happen to be Italian. As I continued to listen to my new favorite podcast, I heard their ad for a 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil, called Villa Cappelli. As a longtime foodie, I decided to look up this olive oil and its history. After looking through their website, I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Their 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil was made in, of all places, Terlizzi, Italy! Not only could I buy delicious food from this company, but I discovered that they also rent their villa! Wow! As I stared at the screen and imagined going to the villa and finding my family, realistically I thought it would be impossible. I put my dreams aside, little knowing that my Nana from up above would intervene. August 25, 2014 was an oppressively hot day in my hometown of Topsfield, outside of Boston, Massachusetts. As I stepped outside, I noticed a beautiful pigeon sitting in my driveway. I thought that seemed strange but left my house to do some errands. When I came back the pigeon was waiting for me. I decided to feed the visitor some breadcrumbs and water, and he seemed most grateful. For three days my new friend jumped around my yard, sat on my roof and one time even sat at my front door peering in the side window as if to say, “Do you notice me?” After the pigeon left a not so friendly gift on the top of my husband’s car, we decided our visitor needed to be returned to his owner. He had a couple of identity bands around his ankle, but nothing that indicated his home. I decided to look up, via the internet, local racing pigeon clubs and found the contact information for a guy named Ron. After some exchange of correspondence, we agreed to meet and that I would hand over the bird. With great help and effort from my son, Thomas, we managed to get our new friend into a pet carrier, and we went to meet Ron and his wife at an agreed location. Ron and his wife were an older couple, and immediately we knew they were genuine folks. Ron explained that sometimes when racing, pigeons can get lost. He looked over our pigeon friend and determined he was only about four months old and quite thin. He was most grateful we called him because he actually thought he might know who owned the bird. The next day I received this email from Ron:  “Hello Again Beth,  I want to thank you for the trouble you and your son went thru to get this bird. I spoke to the owner and he wanted me to thank you also... If there were more people like you and your family, this world could be a better place for us all...  I wish you nothing but good health and happiness in your Life...”  After reading Ron’s touching email I decided to look up what it meant to have a pigeon come into your life. I grabbed a book off my shelf, Animal-Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small by Ted Andrews. He writes, “The Pigeon has a long history associated with the home and with fertility. The real name of Christopher Columbus was “Colombo”, which is the Italian word for “pigeon”…It is because of this that they are often symbols for a time or a need to return to the security of home. Pigeons can teach us how to find our way back when we are lost. They help us to remember and find the love of home and home life that we have either given up or lost…Have we forgotten our basic foundations, the heritage we have had passed on to us through home and family?” Speechless, I closed the book and thought about the villa in Terlizzi and made my decision. We were going. After exchanging some family emails, I found a relative in Michigan who had an address in Terlizzi, as one of my Nana’s brothers did visit family over 25 years ago. I quickly wrote a letter, explained who I was and my interest in meeting my lost relatives. I then emailed the villa, put down a deposit and announced to my parents, we were going to Terlizzi, to finish Nana’s dream to find her dad’s family. Three months went by and we heard nothing. Just when I was about to lose hope, a letter arrived. I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I danced around my kitchen, and my kids finally demanded I open it. The letter was from my great-grandfather’s brother’s family. They wrote how happy they were to hear from us and that they would be very excited to meet us in July, 2015. As I sat in my kitchen holding the letter, I thought about all the events that led up to this moment - the World War I draftcard from ancestory.com, Vinnie Tortorich’s podcast, the Villa Cappelli 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil, and my beautiful pigeon “colombo” friend. In my heart, I know each event was carefully orchestrated by my Nana, in her quest to see her families unite, to finish one dream and start another. Never give up just because a loved one has died. I believe our love and dreams for each other live on. We only need to stop, and inhale the small wonders our loved ones leave us each day. Maybe it’s a shiny penny or a small feather, a familiar smile, or a scent that takes us back to a loved one. All of these are signs that their love for us lives on. Now, when I see a pigeon look at me just right, I take a moment and smile and remember, that my Nana will always love me.   One last video, just for fun.  Orso welcoming Thomas to the villa:
