25: Introduction to the Chakras

This episode is the introduction to a series of episodes on the chakras! One chakra will be released each week, starting with the root chakra next week on June 8. I am SO excited to announce that I will be releasing 2 episodes per week for each of the chakras - one overview and one INTERVIEW! The interviews will be with someone who is learning to master something related to the chakra of the week!
This week's episode is an overview of the chakras. I talk about the location, colour and key themes for each one. I discuss how the chakras are energy centres in alignment with our spines and that together they are one system. Our emotions and experiences move through the chakra system and can cause them to become unbalanced. There are many ways that we can bring them back into alignment including meditation, yoga, crystals, energy healing and movement.
Follow along for the next 7 weeks as we dig deeper into every chakra. In the first episode each week, I will discuss the themes and shadows of each one. Some more specific healing techniques and affirmations will be provided. The second episode each one will be an interview with someone who has an intimate relationship with the chakra of the week. Their experiences of healing and struggling are inspiring and so relatable!The schedule for the chakra series is as follows: 
Root: June 8Sacral: June 15Solar Plexus: June 22Heart: June 29Throat: July 6Third Eye: July 13Crown: July 20
I can't wait to hear what you think about this series!

24: Gemini Energy: Tech & Communication with Lynsey O’Donnell

In today's episode, we kick off Gemini season with one of my best friends from childhood, Lynsey O'Donnell! 
In this conversation, we talk mostly about communication (so Gemini!) and also about Lynsey being a woman in the tech industry. She shares her perspective on Gemini energy because she has a LOT of it and really feels the retrogrades! Lynsey explains how being a natural communicator has his benefits but also a downside in a tech workplace. 
Throughout the conversation, we talk about our differences and similarities and the role communication has played in our friendship. There's a lot more laughter than usual and you can check out a photo from our past on my @spiritcrumbs Instagram account!
Thank you so much for listening :)

23: Animals as Spirit Crumbs

In today's episode, I was inspired to talk about animals as spirit crumbs. I pulled the Power Animal card in Card Pull Friday last week and then was guided to the arboretum where I had some significant animal encounters!
I really love how we can receive such clear confirmations and validations that our guides and the universe are really supporting us and know what is in our hearts. I was so grateful for the accurate messages that I found within the symbolism of each animal. I connected with hawks, a snake, a groundhog and cardinals! I am being reminded over and over again to slow down and go within for a period of retreat. Transformation and rebirth are happening but the pause is a necessary part of the process.Learn about the symbolism behind some beautiful creatures as you think about your own animal spirit crumbs - and any that come up for you in the episode!
 
Thank you so much for listening :)

22: Finding Spirit Crumbs with Joanna Durkin

In this Episode, I am talking to Joanna Durkin of the Spiritual Soul Discovery podcast about how she has followed Spirit Crumbs to manifest some pretty big things!
We talk about how it can sometimes be hard to recognize spirit crumbs when they seem like passing thoughts or if they are everyday things that don't seem special. Joanna gives two examples of times she had things fall into place when she started to trust and follow the crumbs as they came to her.
This was such a fun episode to record!

21: Returning to Silence

In today's episode, I was inspired to talk about the 24 Returning card from the Visionary I Ching deck which is based on the 24th hexagram in the I Ching. I have made connections to the 24th Gene Key as well.
This is an updated perspective on themes from my Processing Endings episode. I've found that the period between ending and beginning that I described in that episode is relevant to the 24th hexagram as well. When we get to the furthest extreme of a situation, we can choose to turn back inwards for a period of rest and renewal before we start to initiate action again. There is a cycle that we each have where this time of recharging is necessary. We cannot force our way forward.By looking at our patterns and addictions, we are able to take away the fear that prevents us from changing them. It is in these periods of silence that we are able to start to shift our consciousness and move forward with our next steps.

20: Taurus - Scorpio Axis in my Chart

Today is a full moon in Scorpio and we are in Taurus season. In this episode, I am talking about this axis in my chart and how I have aligned myself with those influences by following Spirit Crumbs.
Healing, transformation and art have become the main focuses of my work and reflect the Scorpio and Taurus axis and the planetary traits of Pluto and Venus. Clearing out what is no longer necessary - internally and materially - is what I'll be doing at this full moon!

19: The Harvest Cycle of the Houses

18: Processing Endings

In this episode, I am talking about processing endings. 
Everything in life is a cycle. When we move from one to another, we tend to do this without reflection. I talk in this episode about how the invisible space between the ending of one cycle and the beginning of the next is so potent for growth!
The cycle of death and rebirth is one that I have become intimately connected to in my life and I talk about how I navigate this by really looking at the wisdom and shadows of every ending. 
I decided to record and publish this episode today because it is the New Moon in Aries. I mentioned that the birch tree represents the new year in Celtic and Shamanic astrology, but Aries is the new year for the astrological year as well! The birch themes of determination and initiation resonate a lot with Aries energy. The only Aries in my chart is Jupiter - so this is a lucky and prosperous time for me!
I hope these messages resonate with you - thank you for listening!

16: Throat Chakra: Intuition and Fear

The themes for this episode are intuition and fear. This episode is the second of two about the throat chakra and how our shadows can prevent us from moving forward confidently. 
I was inspired by the New Moon in Pisces and some recent live Instagram readings that revealed many blocks around trusting our intuition and feeling confident to be seen in our power. 
A spirit crumb led me to pull a book off my shelf that I hadn't read before. This brought an insight that was able to connect our throat chakra and intuition - the topics I've been trying to reconcile for awhile now! This insight is also the key to manifestation.
The book I read from is Invisible Acts of Power: Personal Choices that Create Miracles by Caroline Myss.

15: Throat Chakra: Truth and Freedom

The themes for this episode are truth and freedom. This episode is the first of two where I will talk about the throat chakra and how shadows around communication and speaking your truth can prevent us from moving forward confidently. 
The number 5 is the basis of this episode and also is the number of the year (2+0+2+1 = 5). The throat chakra is the 5th chakra and in numerology, 5 represents freedom, adventure and travel. I compiled some other connections to the number 5 to reinforce the throat chakra as the focus for the energy of this year. 
Self expression, truth, communication, sharing information and teaching are all characteristics associated with both the throat chakra and the number 5.
The next episode connects the throat chakra and its shadows to intuition and courage.

14: Compromise and Balance

In this Episode, I am talking about compromise and balance. These themes came to me through Spirit Crumbs - a squirrel and the number 14. 
When I was deciding which topic to cover this week, I realized that this would be episode 14 and that made the choice for me!
Most of these concepts are from the 14th Gene Key which is called Radiating Prosperity. I talk about how following our dreams can actually lead us to abundance. In the process of doing this, we can have a balance of work and play without compromising our innate genius.
Thanks for listening!

13: The Celestine Prophecy: The Emerging Culture

*Spoiler Alert: The focus will be on the Insights, but some story details revealed!*
The Celestine Prophecy: The Emerging Culture
In this Episode, I give an overview of the ninth and final insight in The Celestine Prophecy - The Emerging Culture. In this Insight, I talk about synthesizing the previous insights and learning to value the messages we receive from others helps us to move forward on our path. We are able to connect to source energy instead of taking energy from others. When we give energy to others and allow them to speak their truth, we gain valuable information that we will begin to pay them for as a new form of energy exchange. This insight tells us that a new spiritual economy, increased automation and a focus on creating more natural environments will gradually take over as the dominant structure for our culture here on earth. Listen for more details on how this may evolve!
The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield is a fictional book written in 1993. It is about a manuscript found in Peru that outlines 9 Insights to a better version of humanity. The main character goes on a journey to seek out all nine.
Over these 9 episodes, I will discuss each of the insights, leaving out most of the storyline so that listeners can still enjoy the excitement of the Celestine Prophecy from the beginning!

12: The Celestine Prophecy: The Interpersonal Ethic

*Spoiler Alert: The focus will be on the Insights, but some story details revealed!*
The Celestine Prophecy: The Interpersonal Ethic
In this Episode, I give an overview of the eighth insight of The Celestine Prophecy - The Interpersonal Ethic. In this Insight, we learn about how we are meant to interact with one another energetically to raise our vibrations. We learned in previous insights that our programmed unconscious control dramas cause us to habitually look to others as sources of energy instead of connecting directly with source. This insight helps us to understand how every interaction we have is important, including and especially with children. I talk about how the book outlines the structure for conscious conversation, talking to children, connecting to masculine/feminine energies and learning how we can identify people with messages for us.

11: The Celestine Prophecy: Engaging the Flow

*Spoiler Alert: The focus will be on the Insights, but some story details revealed!*
The Celestine Prophecy: Engaging the Flow
In this Episode, I give an overview of the seventh insight of The Celestine Prophecy - Engaging the Flow. In this Insight, I talk about how we can remain connected to source energy to move forward on our path. We are able to connect to source energy through the beauty of our environment or the memory of a mystical experience. By also remembering our basic life question and the current question relating to our purpose, we will receive intuitions from our higher selves to bring on more coincidences.

10: The Celestine Prophecy: Clearing the Past

*Spoiler Alert: The focus will be on the Insights, but some story details revealed!*
The Celestine Prophecy: Clearing the Past
In this Episode, I give an overview of the sixth insight of The Celestine Prophecy - Clearing the Past. In this Insight, we discuss our unconscious control dramas and how we must learn what they are and why we were born into our particular family. By doing this work, we can connect to our purpose. 
There are four different control dramas: the interrogator, the aloof, the intimidator and the poor me. Each of these ranges from aggressive to passive and we learn these programmed roles from our parents to receive their attention. In this episode, I also discuss how this insight connects to other concepts such as shadow work, lineage/ancestral healing and inner child work.Instagram mentions:Mariana at @staralignedalchemy specializes in lineage/ancestral healing, cosmic parenting and inner child work.I also mentioned @tobemagnetic for manifestation, shadow work and inner child hypnotic meditations for healing.

*Spoiler Alert: The focus will be on the Insights, but some story details revealed!*
The Celestine Prophecy: The Message of the Mystics
In this Episode, I give an overview of the fifth insight of The Celestine Prophecy - The Message of Mystics. In this Insight, we learn that we can access an endless supply of energy from nature, particularly virgin forests. When we connect to this pure energy, we have a mystical experience.Once we've had one of these, we can return to that state of consciousness and connection. Instead of taking energy from one another, we learn to bring ourselves back to a mystical experience or to nature itself to fill ourselves up.

*Spoiler Alert: The focus will be on the Insights, but some story details revealed!*
The Celestine Prophecy: The Struggle for Power
In this Episode, I give an overview of the fourth insight of The Celestine Prophecy - The Struggle for Power. In this Insight, we discuss the human tendency to take energy from others in order to increase our own.  Although we are often in power struggles on an individual and global level, we can access source energy ourselves! As with the other insights, awareness of our habits are key.
