A gentle reminder, just in case you need it too: We are living in turbulent times. We are inundated by information. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, triggered, and even traumatized (or re-traumatized) by news stories, sound bytes, videos and the conversations that swirl around them. Self-care is an essential practice at all times and even more so when life feels challenging.  Self-care means different things to each of us and can be practiced alone or in community. Find what works for you and fit it in where you can. Please, take good and gentle care of your precious self – you’re the only you the world has.    My guest for today’s show is writer, coach, and minister,  Leela Sinha. She is the author of You’re Not Too Much: Intensive Lives in an Expansive World, a book that introduces a new framework for understanding who we are and how we show up in our lives. If you’ve ever been told you’re too intense, too emotional or too much, or if you’ve ever loved someone who you’ve thought those same things about, this conversation is for you.   What you’ll hear in this episode:  Intensive/Expansive framework – it’s a continuum An Intensive: someone who is INTENSE  An Expansive: someone who likes things ordered and logical How each category responds to deadlines and procrastination How to know your essential nature The impact of being an intensive Why visionaries and CEO’s are usually intensives The general population: 30% intensive and 70% expansive De-centering the dominant culture The importance of expansive: keeping the fires burning Intensive organizations vs. expansive organizations The 80% problem Ways intensives stop themselves Navigating the workplace as an intensive Using Leela’s book as a communication tool Intensives and expansives in relationship Tips for intensives on navigating love Big feelings can go to an extreme Building the right community The British expansive cultural lens  Resources: www.yourenottoomuch.com You’re Not Too Much by Leela Sinha

Get Comfortable with Conflict Without Compromising Yourself with Jennifer McCabe

Some people seem to be born knowing what direction to go in life, while others wander a more roundabout path. Both are fine of course (though I think those of us on the “scenic route” often wish for more clarity along the way). The challenges for both types come when we attempt to make changes and when our lives feel stressful. At these times it’s a gift to find someone – a healer, a coach, a loved one, a trusted friend – who can support our wellness and our dreams. Today’s guest is one of those people.  Jane Del Piero experienced stunning dreams as a child that catapulted her into her work with ancient healing traditions, and she’s been on a path of purpose ever since. She is an herbalist, massage therapist, acupuncturist, nutritionist, sound healer, medicine woman, and modern-day shaman. Jane uses her training and experience from around the world as she helps her clients tap into health, vitality, and limitless freedom in their personal, professional, and spiritual lives. Join us for this conversation full of big ideas and practical tips to support your health &amp; wellbeing.  What you’ll hear in this episode:  Jane’s amazing story about her childhood dreams How to let intuition be your guide Jane’s sound healing work with musicians Acupuncture: What it is and how it is helpful Optimizing the energy of the body and finding balance A combination of acupuncture and sound healing----Acutonics How Jane uses tuning forks, singing bowls, and gongs Using calming music to combat disease A simple technique to combat stress! Shamanism: What it is and how it’s taught Malevolent and benevolent forces Plant spirit medicine explained How to recognize authenticity: “Is this somebody that’s GOOD for me?” Listening to the wisdom of your body The cacao ceremony as a spiritual tool Benefits of raw cacao How Jane structures her work with clients A simple, helpful tool to grow your self-confidence  Resources: www.luvlight.net www.shamanism.com (The Dance of the Deer Foundation)

Health, Vitality and Limitless Freedom with Jane Del Piero

Roy Nelson

I’ve been thinking a lot about connection lately. Connection and community and how we need them like we need oxygen. We need someone to bear witness to our lives. We need to be there for each other. My hope is that we can continue to open our hearts, reach across a sea of difference and create a world community based on respect and love instead of fear. Today’s show is about addiction, a struggle that so often stems from a lack of connection, from needs unfulfilled. Addiction can offer the illusion of connection but the destruction is deep, the hole tragically hard to climb out of. Some make it out, through moments of grace and a lot of hard work, but many do not.  Roy Nelson has walked the path of childhood wounding, addiction, grace, and recovery. He is a transformational speaker, spiritual healer, and the creator of the Nelson Method of Addiction Treatment.  He specializes in working with addicts for whom every other method of recovery has failed. Roy is the author of Love Notes from Hell: Stories of Hopeless Addiction, Obsession and Freedom. Join us for this discussion of addiction, freedom, and what connection really means. You can read the full show notes and access all the links and resources at www.alanasheeren.com

Pleasance Silicki

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the demands and pressures of your life? Do you struggle to find a healthy way through the daily ups and downs? Do you wish for a fairy godmother to wave her magic wand and take care of everything on your to-do list so you can catch your breath? (I’m raising my hand over here on that last one!) Most of us want lives filled with joy and ease but our choices often set us up for something very different. Even if we’re making the best choices we can, the pressures of modern life are hard to juggle.  It’s helpful to have a path to follow, a structure or practice that helps guide us toward a more ease-filled life. Today we’re talking about applying the ancient wisdom of yoga principles to busy lives in practical ways. Yoga is MUCH, MUCH more than just a body-stretching path to fitness! My guest this week is Pleasance Silicki, a teacher, coach, magic-maker and community builder. She’s the author of the e-book Delight: Eight Principles for Living with Joy and Ease, and co-founder of the National Kids Yoga Conference. She also founded Lil Omm Yoga, a former yoga studio in Washington, DC, now an online community. Today we are talking about slowing down, simplifying, and giving ourselves permission to be ENOUGH.  You can read the full show notes and access all the links and resources at www.alanasheeren.com

Create Your Magical Life – The Language of Color, with Bridget Pilloud

Gary Craig

Are you familiar with EFT or “tapping”? Chances are, if you know much about the world of personal development, then you’ve heard something about Emotional Freedom Technique. Introduced to the world in the 1990’s, EFT has positively impacted millions of people with astonishing results. Most of us have dealt with phobias, childhood traumas, anxieties and fears, PTSD, or other emotional issues. All of these can be greatly improved—and even permanently healed-- using EFT. Are you curious about how it works? The difference EFT can make in your life is nothing short of amazing. While you can find many versions of “tapping” on the internet, and many teachers who claim different benefits, we wanted to go straight to the source: Emotional Freedom Technique originator and founder, Gary Craig. His website has tutorials, techniques, and other helpful information—all free! Check out our resources below for more information.  What you’ll hear in this episode:  The two types of EFT Gary developed are Gold Standard and Optimal. Gold Standard EFT is the “emotional version of acupuncture without needles.” The healing process can be reduced to hours and minutes instead of weeks, months, and years! Gary talks about working with veterans to heal their PTSD. Gary’s website includes two free tutorials to teach you everything you need to start working with EFT. “Easy EFT” occurs when you “tap” along with someone else—also called “borrowing benefits.” Buyer beware in the world of EFT! Be sure to check out a teacher or practitioner thoroughly before working with them. Gary explains how he developed EFT and discusses a deeply spiritual experience that changed his perspective on life. In Optimal EFT, spiritual methods are added to tapping for deeper results. Optimal EFT has the goal of removing the blocks to love’s presence and helping us to “climb our spiritual ladder.” Gary explains “The Unseen Therapist” and “The Guardian at the Gate.” Optimal EFT has two steps and it brings faster results, more efficiency, and greater love, joy, and peace. In this episode’s segment of Alana’s Guide to Magical Living, we meet Maree Gecks, the founder and designer of Marzipants, which are beautiful, Bohemian-style trousers. They are a comfortable, form-flattering pant, styled after the loose, wrap pants of the Thai fishermen. They are ethically and sustainably made in luxurious organic cotton.

Have you given much thought to the skin care products you use and where they come from? How about the items in your medicine cabinet? Are they safe? Are they healthy and nourishing?

Though each of them came to understand the healing benefits of plants in different ways, they’ve combined their passion for organic gardening, herbal medicine, and eastern holistic health into creating products that are safe and effective for the whole family. They love teaching others about restoring balance using the healing properties of plants and herbs. Are you ready to learn more? Join us!

Before diving into today’s interview, I share a few thoughts about summer and its potentially unrealistic expectations.  As summer gets into full swing here in the Northern Hemisphere, I hope you find yourself focusing on what’s important to you. Did you have a favorite shape as a kid? Is there a certain shape or design that you find yourself unexplainably drawn to? Many geometric shapes have sacred meaning and energy---and that is part of our topic for today, alongside energy medicine &amp; transformation. Are you intrigued? My guest is Deborah Stuart, a longtime student of the metaphysical arts and sciences and a passionate pioneer in the field of energy medicine. Deborah has spent 20 years researching and developing subtle energy technologies, helping people achieve deeper states of meditation and higher states of consciousness. She is the co-founder of The Oxygen Research Institute and the founder and designer of High Chi jewelry. She strives to make pure, protective, and healing energy available to all.  What you’ll hear in this episode:  How sacred geometry creates “power spot energy” Power spots—It all comes down to gridlines. The Flower of Life design Healing energy can be measured using pendulums. How the US military and Swiss Telecom have used these technologies Negative vs. positive energy Clothing and jewelry—the energy is THERE! Twelve higher harmonics—What are they? Dark energy—Have you FELT it? Energy transformation Ask for help! Emotional literacy—it’s important! Deborah’s techniques: “Feel and Flick” and “33 seconds” High frequency energy in jewelry Are you grounded? It sounds crazy and magical, but IT WORKS! Can you handle the energy? “Resonant Shakedown”—What is it? Think of ONE THING you can do today that makes you light up inside and brings you happiness, joy, and delight!
