Ep. 52 Quantum Languaging: Co-create Your Reality Using The Power of Words with Dani Katz

Alas, words are infinitely more complex entities, each encrypted with a unique vibrational frequency that is itself coded with metadata that affects our emotional, energetic and psychological bodies...” ~ Dani Katz

We’re getting nitty giddy with our words with Dani Katz, LA-based writer, artist and Quantum Languaging coach/consultant and author of The New P. Handbook, Vol. 1: Little Languaging Hacks for Big Change. She is on a mission to shift the paradigm with the power of our words.

You’ll hear Dani’s story of waking up in the middle of the night with spontaneous paralyzation that led her to this awakening to the power of languaging and words. We talk about our subconscious minds and how it creates our reality and the most sabotaging words in our language and which words to use instead. Dani talks about mind “viruses”, how she uplifts her own mood and thoughts, how to upgrade your beliefs, and what it takes to shift our life experience as embodied beings on Earth.

If you’ve been experiencing stuckness and self sabotaging patterns, this is one episode to listen to and pay attention to what comes up for you and where language patterns can shift in your own world.

Show Notes

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How Dani woke up in the middle of night with paralyzation out of nowhere that knocked her down which led her to serendipitously find a book she had never seen before: Hidden Language Codes by R Neville Johnston

  • How words and the language codes began to show themselves to Dani and how it has shifted her life experience

  • How Dani overcame her paralyzation and get her spine back in place without surgery

  • Words are encoded with metadata and each word vibrates with unique frequencies that affects us on all levels

  • How our subconscious mind creates 95%+ of our reality and we are deliberate co-creators of our experience, and how our subconscious is programmed through language

  • How the Universe takes our beliefs and patterns as directions and directives

  • How “should” actually means “I know more than you/I have authority over you”  is steeped in hierarchy, which is a paradigm we are moving away from and into a new paradigm of unity, inclusivity, peace, and abundance

  • How words are key for ushering us into a new paradigm

  • The most sabotaging words in our language and which words to use instead

  • The power of words in self-talk and how to identify where we are sabotaging ourselves

  • How saying “I don’t have time” gives your power away… to time

  • How Dani has experienced depression and tried all the things - but what pulls her out of darkness are the words she’s using in her thoughts

  • What you can do to start tracking your limiting beliefs and rewrite the “upgrade”

  • What to do when you catch yourself in a negative thought or belief

  • How tapping and making up songs helps to support Dani shifting her frequency

  • What “upper limit issues” are and the importance of being brutally honest with ourselves, plus examples of this in Dani’s own life

  • What Dani’s favorite word “Omniscopic” means and why it’s amazing

  • How the conscious mind is literal, which makes words like “limitless” problematic

  • Dani’s perspective on “identity” and how we’re moving toward a more unified global community

  • Practices and hacks for shifting your self-talk

Solo Episode: DECEMBER 2018 :: Akashic Soul Nourishment Reading :: Heart-Centered Grace & Gentle Pace

About Monthly Soul Nourishment Readings: These readings are usually filled with metaphor & symbols, so may require a bit of unraveling & might mean something different for each person, so pay attention to what comes up for you as you listen on. Hope they provide value and moments of reflection in your journey.

The message for December is: SLOW over go go go. Simplify to expand. We are being led and guided by our own embodied senses. These are our gifts.

What is that one thread that you can begin to pull, and weave into this beautiful deep rich tapestry in your life?

In this Akashic reading, we are guided by two deer in a forest...

Deer Medicine

Two deer appear in the forest.

Pure presence. Heightened senses. Deep connection with surroundings.

Ability to HEAR acutely, SMELL finely, SEE keenly, TASTE impeccably

No map, nowhere to go, so that you may know...

Who you are, and who you are becoming, deliberately.

A call for us to re-member our innate abilities and capacities for navigating ourselves with the help of our surroundings...

It is the process of dropping in, and tuning in, that creates our destination.

Deer medicine is closely related to the heart, compassion and allowing ourselves to drop into this space and allow our hearts to lead us. We are also called to open up our embodied senses and sensitivities, and pay attention to what we consume.

Working together

Collaboration is our true nature, we are in this unseen pilgrimage together.

We are meant to use our faculties and embodied senses.

Individualism is an illusion - we are walking on a path together.

The good news...

All of these faculties and abilities are already innate within us.

We simply need to cultivate the space for us to get back into tune with them.

SLOW over Go Go Go

Be gentle and deliberate with your pace. Honor the Slowness.

Slow is medicine for this month.

Turn the dial DOWN on tempo, thoughts, scattered energy...

And turn the volume UP on your senses, engage with your breath.

Step into stillness with your surroundings.

Breathe in and savor these sacred moments.

Ways we can tune back into our heart, walk this gentle pace, open up our senses and connect with this innate guidance system and knowing, tuning into the greater collective:

Bring your focus to just ONE thing... simplify to expand.

We are integrating within our own cells ALL of the collective experiences of that which we are consuming. Pay attention to what you allow inside of your body.

We are a culmination of all that we consume, in all ways,with all of our senses.

What are you consuming lately?

We are being led and guided by our embodied senses. These are our gifts.

Ep. 41 Connecting with Your Ancestors & Reclaiming a Sense of Belonging with Becca Piastrelli

Working with my hands, being with women, and looking at who I came from, and the practices of them, has been the holy trinity of me feeling a deep sense of belonging that sugar and Netflix never could fill.” ~ Becca Piastrelli

Having just observed Thanksgiving Day in the US, a holiday that can be polarizing in its reminder of historical atrocities yet celebrated as a time of gratitude and family connection, this interview with Becca Piastrelli is both timely and meaningful. In an age of DNA tests and Google, Becca shares ways in which we can connect with our own ancestors more deeply, and face uncomfortable truths with integrity, curiosity and compassion.

In this interview, Becca shows us how the systems we live in (i.e. capitalism, patriarchy, etc) perpetuate loneliness, disconnection, and “not enough-ness,” and illuminate the importance of ancestral connection in reclaiming a sense of Belonging today. Becca shares her personal journey with ancestral work, how she is making reparations for colonizer ancestors, & how to connect with ancestors beyond giving a DNA sample.

We dive deep into the many ways to connect to your ancestors & re-weave the threads that tie us to all those who came before us, such as embracing spiralic time and physically going to the places they once were.

Becca is a writer, womxn's coach, and host of the Belonging podcast. She holds space for womxn to explore ancestral wisdom, connect with the earth, and find meaningful and inclusive sisterhood.

Show Notes

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How Belonging has shaped Becca’s life experience and work

  • How we live in the most prosperous times yet humanity feels more lonely than ever before

  • Mouse study in addiction: Rat Park experiment conducted by Bruce Alexander

  • How the systems we live in (capitalism, patriarchy, etc) perpetuate loneliness, disconnection, and “not enoughness” - severing us from a deep sense of rootedness

  • How Becca believes we can cultivate a deeper sense of resilience by looking at our ancestors and ancestral ways

  • How Becca got inspired to looking at her own ancestry, and how making things with her hands was a deeper calling, evoking a longing to return to sisterhood

  • Cultural appropriation in spiritual communities - exploration of why she too participated in it, and that it ultimately stemmed from loneliness

  • Becca’s own pilgrimage returning to the lands of her ancestors

  • How DNA tests fit into all of it, and the inherent privilege in being able to take a DNA test as a person of european descent

  • How to honor your ancestry, cultivate a deeper connection with your ancestors

  • The surprising thing Becca found out about her own ancestral lineage

  • How discussions about race and ancestry can lead to a “freeze” response, and yet we have the ability to move through it and make reparations

  • What Becca has to say to those that claim “we don’t need to feel bad for what dead men did.”

  • How to turn shame into action and allyship, and ways to make reparations

  • How to begin connecting with the indigenous people of the land you are occupying, and the ways to support them

  • The ways Becca is making reparations, honoring and connecting with the people of the lands her family has occupied

  • How Becca deals with her inner anger, and building her “resilience muscle” in service of waking up

  • What is ancestral non-linear time, i.e. spiralic, circular, whole time consciousness

  • How language can inform concept of time, and contextualizes life experiences

  • The practice of chronos vs chiros time, and how Becca infuses ancestral time using these principles

  • How to be a good ancestor NOW and why it’s so important

  • What is feeding Becca’s wild, and how it ties into her sense of Belonging

Ep. 37 How To Bring Balance To Your Home, Health + Life Using The Art Of Feng Shui With Anjie Cho

Love this podcast? Subscribe over on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, or Spotify and never miss an episode!

Practicing Feng Shui is a way to have mindfulness in respect to your surroundings - all of the little details impact your wellbeing, your stress levels and how you show up in the world.” ~ Anjie Cho

Consider for a moment that everything in your environment, what I call your Sacred Ecology, plays a role in creating the conditions for growing the YOU that stands as yourself today and the future (whether we like it or not)… While it may not feel like it initially, this is a highly empowering thing to grasp.

Why? Because now YOU get to check and cultivate an ecology that you desire so you can thrive TODAY and tomorrow. It’s never too late to change our story... And that’s why creating holistic spaces is critical for our wellbeing.

Our guest today Anjie Cho, green architect, feng shui expert, and author of Holistic Spaces, says that through observing and shifting the built environment, feng shui (an ancient Asian art of placement) teaches us how to live in harmony with nature. Feng shui adjustments can bring balance to your home, health and life because the principles are founded upon cycles and patterns of nature and ancient knowledge.

Today in our conversation with Anjie, we cover what feng shui actually means and it’s importance related to creating a holistic home. Anjie shares about her journey from exhaustion starting her own business and the big leaps she committed to making that led to greater ease and success in her career

She breaks down the foundational principles of Feng Shui including the Bagua map, themes, elements, colors, and gives us tips on how to boost the area of nourishment, wealth, and prosperity with small tweaks in your home space.

This was such a fun and illuminating interview with lots of easy and practical tips, PLUS we are having a Feed Your Wild x Holistic Spaces giveaway!

Solo Episode: NOVEMBER 2018 :: Monthly Akashic Soul Nourishment Reading :: Find Your RHYTHM + Be the Dancing Rocks

About Monthly Soul Nourishment Readings: Just as I weave in spiritual nourishment from the Akashic Records for my clients along with their nutritional protocols on an individual basis, I’ve been inspired to start sharing these readings monthly in the podcast to support the collective with general monthly themed-readings... and so Monthly Akashic Soul Nourishment Readings were born. These readings are usually filled with metaphor & symbols, so may require a bit of unraveling & might mean something different for each person, so pay attention to what comes up for you as you listen on. Hope they provide value and moments of reflection in your journey.

The message for November is: “Allow yourself to be the dancing rock... to have the will to take action yet to be fully present and anchored in the now.

Can you dance from that essence that is beyond the separate Self, and instead from a place of ultimate Unity? That is our work in November.

In this Akashic reading, we are guided through a 2-part session because... it was, let’s say “non-linear”.

This month, the stars, rocks, and plants are speaking to us and initiating an activation - a remembering, a deprogramming, a transmission... from Mama Earth and the stars. They will help us remember how to breathe, how to move, how to be in RHYTHM, so that we can speak on behalf of the plants, and ourselves as living interconnected beings.

We cover the concept of petrification, the energetics of limestone and how we can embody this in our dance of life. We are told how to find the antidote to the heavy, lower vibrations that we’ve been exposed to (esp this past October!). We’re also given an invitation to connect with a plant ally this month.
 

Show Notes

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The Stars guiding us like our compass, navigation guidance system, and map + the cosmos as the great unifier - we all see the same stars, moon and sun.

  • How the stars, rocks, and plants are speaking to us… awakening rock people from their slumber..

  • How Limestone has been talking to Venessa and what it’s saying...

  • Limestone’s energetics and relationship with animals and bone - and what that has to do with you

  • “Limestone though it stimulates the will to action, keeps one firmly anchored in the here and now.”

  • The concept of Petrification, its use throughout mythology, and how it impacts us today

  • Allow ourselves to be the dancing rocks, to have the will to take action yet to be fully present and anchored in the now

  • Plants growing up and taking hold of us... and how we are being directed by the stars and planets.

  • How the elements are helping us remember how to breathe, how to move, how to be in RHYTHM. So we can speak on behalf of the plant, and ourselves as living interconnected beings.

  • Allowing the plants, rocks, and stars to dance through us

  • Finding the antidote to the heavy, lower vibration that enters your being. “They Exist in polarity, opposites are an illusion. Its all a dance.”

Action Idea:

  • Choose 1 plant and connect with this plant daily for one full week (and full month of November if you can!). Keep a journal about your experience and the messages you receive through this process!

  • Ways to connect: plant sits, medicine making, tea drinking, eating in meals, communing in any way

Ep. 34 Holotropic Breathwork & Re-sacralizing the World (Within + Without) with James Frazier

Photo by Venessa Rodriguez

In order for us to re-sacralize the world, we have to really get back in touch with the sense of sacred within, and it can also be done by getting a sense of sacred without.” ~ James Frazier

I’m happy to share this interview audio from my archives with James Frazier, who led me in my first holotropic breathwork experience several years ago. James is one of the most experienced breathwork practitioners in the country having led Breathwork seminars throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. James has over 30 years of experience in the field of counseling and personal growth and development consulting, having studied under Dr. Stanislav Grof who developed holotropic breathwork and was in the first group to be certified by Dr. Grof to practice.

In this interview we discuss what holotropic breathwork is and why it is so powerful, James’ experience studying with Dr. Stanislav Grof and over 30 years leading workshops, plus James breaks down the history of our disconnection from nature - and what we need to do to get it back in order to save ourselves and the planet.

This conversation goes DEEP, looking at the erosion of myth in our culture, the rise of rationality and the origins of what James calls our “collective schizophrenia” that we must breakthrough in order to create a new story (hint: we need to do both our inner work and connect with nature today!)

Show Notes

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How James almost quit being a therapist after poor outcomes within addiction work and found holotropic breathwork by accident, changing the course of his life

  • How James began studying and working with Dr. Stanislav Graf and Holotropic breathwork after the 2nd most powerful experience of his life, and continued a 30+ year long career of doing holotropic breathwork

  • Why holotropic breathwork is a powerful and safe way for accessing the subconscious and expanded states of consciousness/awareness while also retaining ego awareness

  • One of the oldest techniques to go into non-ordinary states of consciousness and how it has been a part of human practices for thousands of years

  • Why taking a medicinal plant out of its culture and insert it into a different place and context is problematic

  • What is “Participatory consciousness” - looking at oneself as part of the whole cosmos rather than a detached separate observer position, operating as one unit

  • James’s theory on the origin of separation from nature, ritual, and the spiritual with literalization of religious text through the protestant reformation

  • The origins of capitalism and collapse of the mythological worldview

  • How the ancients viewed the stars and great philosophical issues

  • How the Psyche speaks in myth, story and symbol

  • The detriment of Descartes’ statement “I think therefore I am.”

  • The erosion of myth and rise of rationality - how this created a “collective schizophrenia” detaching ourselves from nature in service of capitalism

  • How this separation has bled into allopathic healthcare system with specialization and over-compartmentalization

  • The “thingification” of humans and the importance of expanded states of awareness that brings you back to wholeness

  • The importance of individual inner work and personal development for the collective and how James is dedicated to supporting people in cultivating that reconnection with nature

  • The important cycles that we have closed off from our awareness - death and rebirth, the importance of grief

  • How our inability to grieve also prevents us from connecting to nature

  • Why we don’t connect with our deepest selves because it takes us to our deepest and painful issues such as grief

  • James thoughts on re-storying and the critical importance of initiatory processes and rites of passages that have been lost to our detriment

  • How we “need to go way out and we need to go way in”, and why creation myth does just that

  • James’ urgent message: “We’re either going to transform or we are going to die”

  • Veriditas - the greening of nature

  • The importance of changing the sense of self to combat the tidal wave of narcissism we have today and support our reconnection to nature

  • More about James’ work and offerings in nature and personal growth

Ep. 33 Reclaiming Our Erotic Energy, Consciousness Expanding Plant Magic & Mamahood with Riyana Rose Sang

What’s your relationship to your erotic energy? How do you even feel about that question? What stories pop up for you?

These are questions that Riyana Rose Sang is asking and wanting all of us to consider... especially for the empowerment of womyn and marginalized people in these tumultuous times.

Riyana Rose is an herbalist, counselor, mama, writer, and all-around witchy woman devoted to the magic of seasonal living and all things transformative. She thinks of herself as a mystical witch, and adores experiential, ecstatic, direct experience of the Divine and guiding others to get there, too, through the tools she teaches and the rituals she helps create. She is devoted to teaching about connection to nature through our relationships with the green ones, animals, and the fey, and utilizing ritual technologies such as aspecting, trance, and devotion that empower us move out of our minds and into connection with spirit.

In her private practice, Riyana works extensively with issues of the heart and womb, including anxiety, depression, grief, loss, infertility, and pregnancy and postpartum challenges.

In this interview, we talk about how essential it is to reclaim our erotic energy as part of the collective evolution of our time, and ways we can begin to do that. Riyana shares her journey with her own erotic energy, through pregnancy and post-partum, and her favorite plant and mushroom allies to support ourselves in times of stress and expand our consciousness as we’re being called to step more deeply into our own sovereignty and power to speak our truth and be heard and respected.

I absolutely loved this conversation, full of practical magic, thought-provoking questions and a look inside Riyana’s personal journey as a mama, witch, and force of nature.

Show Notes

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Sovereignty of women, our bodies’ ability to release, speak our truth, to be heard and respected, and how these times have made Riyana reframe her work

  • Riyana’s practice of witchcraft and earth magic for 25 years, herbalism for 10 years.

  • The Idea that the world needs us - all ppl, esp women and marginalized ppl - to own our worth and sovereignty so we can speak up for ourself and for Mother Earth

  • How to reclaim erotic vitality, energy, and whatever you consider magic for yourself

  • How the plants help us to become liberated and sovereign beings - as they all benefit when we reclaim this power and vital energy

  • How Riyana’s intense period of depression and disconnection when her father passed at 16 yrs old led to her first introduction and exposure to the feminine divine that made her feel at home

  • Starhawk’s work and importance in Riyana’s journey

  • The importance of death, ritual death or initiation as an agent in helping open up oneself to their spiritual path and in touch with the great mystery

  • What Riyana is witnessing from the current political events and making the connection between a dysfunctional youth sexual culture and lack of rites of passages in our modern culture at large

  • How Riyana sees erotic energy as our birthright - when we know that desire and pleasure are apart of who we are, we can tap into this energy and empower ourselves to create

  • How helping ppl reclaim their erotic energy and relationship to it is part of the collective evolution of our time that is needed and essential work right now

  • Erotic energy and empowerment related to physical manifestations such as rampant thyroid issues, cardiovascular disease, and reproductive challenges

  • Riyana’s journey with her own erotic energy, from feeling a surge during pregnancy, the message she received from spirit and lady love

  • How she developed hypothyroidism and her libido tanked, and how she got her groove back

  • Ways we can begin to reclaim our erotic energy- The first step: Choosing to reclaim being an erotic woman; questioning and breaking down inherited stories and cultural programming

  • The larger impact of stress culture and riding the cortisol train chronically on sexuality

  • Riyana’s favorite herb and plant allies that can support our stress response: adaptogens including ashwaghanda, shatavari (she with a thousand husbands), mushrooms (reishi, chaga, turkey tail, all of them!) to be grounded and expansive at the same time.

  • How becoming a clearer channel by cleaning out your and reducing what might be hijacking your brain, what “spell are you under”?

  • The importance of Riyana’s choice to use words like magic, spell-breaking, psychedelic, - they inherently challenge the current and oppressive power structures at be

  • What is feeding Riyana’s wild right now
