Heather Davies, Sea Wynd Shamanic Coaching, Ritual & Ceremony

At this time on the planet, particularly in Western culture, we seem to have lost connection to our roots - both to the literal roots of trees, plants and Mother Earth, as well as to the roots of our human ancestry. In this false sense of separation, we feel isolated and unsupported. In this discussion with Heather Davies of Sea Wynd Shamanic Coaching, Ritual and Ceremony, we explore how to engage with nature and the energies of our ancestors to rediscover the beauty and truth of our interconnectedness.

In this episode we cover:

• The American culture of “Do It On Our Own” often cuts us off from recognizing the support of Ancestors.

• Tianna’s Dark Night of the Soul experience of receiving assistance from her Japanese ancestors.

• How the challenge of ethically practicing Shamanic work as a white skinned person without appropriating another’s culture caused Heather to dive into their own Celtic and Germanic roots.

• Heather’s personal story of ancestors responding to a call for help.

• The reciprocity relationship in working with one’s ancestors.

• The body as a portal to the soul and the problem of disembodied spiritual work.

• Weaving Sky/Masculine and Earth/Feminine energies together.

• How the taboo of speaking about death unnecessarily blocks people from connection with their ancestors.

• The need to embrace and discuss death and weave it into our culture as a natural part of our experience.

• How nature can teach us the life/death/rebirth cycle.

• What is the process of land clearing/witnessesing?

• Daniel Foor’s concept of the “last well ancestor”

• Tim’s experience with the spirit of his grandmother.

S2 Ep. 7: Beyond Belief with Jim Holzknecht

Jim Holzknecht, Co-Producer & Co-Director (with Becky Hays) of “Beyond Belief”

Do you feel “The Secret” oversimplified the Law of Attraction - as if you can focus on what you want and manifest it simply through the power of your conscious intention? If only it were that easy, right? What’s the missing piece? In this episode we interview Jim Holzknecht, co-producer of the movie “Beyond Belief,” who feels that the Law of Attraction won’t be effective without understanding and addressing the power of the Subconscious mind (our hidden beliefs and programming).

In this episode we discuss:

• How a limiting subconscious belief can derail your intention, even if you’re not aware of it.

• Opening up your creativity with “morning pages,” a practice created by Julia Cameron.

• The overlooked, incredible power of the Placebo Effect.

• What percentage of our life is controlled by our Subconscious mind and what aspects of our life does it affect?

• The pattern of resistance and how, counterintuitively, acceptance of what we don’t like or want to change actually allows us to transform.

• The gift of non-attachment.

• The tools provided in “Beyond Belief” that will help you work with your Subconscious mind and harness its power.

Jim Holzknecht is the Co-Director and Co-Producer (with Becky Hays) of the movie “Beyond Belief,” which interviews well-known self help experts such as Bruce Lipton, Julia Cameron and Joe Vitale. You can watch it on Amazon via Gaia here.  As part of the 10 year anniversary for “Beyond Belief,” Beyond Belief Academy was formed. Online courses working with the ideas shared in the film are available through this site at http://bit.ly/beyondbeliefthemovie

In addition, Jim is a best selling author, award winning producer, teacher, coach and  speaker.  He specializes in empowering individuals to live life to the fullest with inspiration, play, fun, freedom, passion and purpose.

S2 Ep. 6: The Cosmic Energies of 2020 with Shannon Gill

Shannon Gill, Evolutionary Astrologer

What’s happening in the Cosmos right now and through 2020 and how will this impact us? Astrologer Shannon Gill returns to the podcast to share the powerful alignments happening right now in December 2019 and moving into 2020. There are strong celestial influences to take note of so that we can utilize this pivotal time for our growth and learning.

Some things we discuss in this episode:

• The timeline of how these cycles have been affecting the Collective and can be recognized through looking back at societal shifts over many years.

• What’s meant by outer and inner planets and how do they affect us differently?

• Which planets are the heavy hitters of the sky and what themes might they activate for us in 2020?

• The Stellium of Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn and how it will reveal that which is false or out of alignment in our lives.

• The Eclipse season we’re currently in: the upcoming Eclipses on Dec. 25, 2019 and Jan. 10, 2020 in the Capricorn/Cancer axis (masculine/feminine i.e. mental/emotional energies) and how to work with eclipses

• .The quantum leap on our evolutionary path being offered us through these alignments.

• How becoming aware of astrological influences can be empowering rather than fear-based.

• The way that these transits affect you strongly depends on whether you’ve been doing or avoiding your inner work.

• Shannon covered a lot of information regarding the transits happening throughout 2020. You‘ll probably want to revisit this episode during the year.

S2 Ep. 5: Journey of a Post Traumatic Soul with Tom Eckersley

In this episode we speak with Tom Eckersley to discuss his book, “Journey of a Post Traumatic Soul,” which covers topics of mental health, such as suicide, depression, PTSD, abuse and rape. Although these can be very heavy topics, many of us can relate to some aspect of Tom’s journey. The spiritual path on Earth isn’t all hearts and rainbows. It’s important to face these things - the way out is through. Tom shares how he was able to move towards the light at the end of the dark tunnel of trauma.

Topics discussed:

• How the death of Tom’s mother was a catalyst for the emergence of the repressed traumatic childhood incident.

• That it may be harder for men individually and collectively to talk about these things because historically they’re expected to be strong protectors.

• How bad reactions or no reaction to Tom’s sharing about the trauma to close friends and family made it difficult to move through the healing process.

• The later understanding that his partying, addictive tendencies and suicide attempts were all byproducts of the buried trauma.

• Some of the tools Tom utilized to help cope.

• Exercise as a form of therapy.

• Humor as a coping mechanism.

• Destigmatizing mental healthcare.

• An encounter with spiritual beings that helped Tom decide he wanted to be on Earth.

• Tom’s suggestions for how to overcome the reluctance to asking for help.
