Toxic Spiritual Ascension Community

February 13, 2024 18:14 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MB

Elevate your consciousness. Ascend to the 5th dimension. Access the quantum field. Yes, and… There's a fine line between elevating consciousness and using spirituality to avoid discomfort. Ascending to the 5th dimension doesn't mean you get to bypass anything inconvenient in this dimension. It's great to do quantum healing or work in the quantum field, but can you ground that field effectively into your embodied Earthwalk? Michelle and Katherine discuss “spiritual ascension culture,” incl...

How to Get in Shamanic Shape

April 27, 2023 15:49 - 38 minutes - 35.7 MB

Shamanic work can take a lot of energy and requires not only energetic stamina, but also physical resilience and endurance. When in Shamanic trance, practicing incorporation mediumship, or holding ceremony for 10 hours, your body has specific needs for minerals, muscle strength and flexibility, and ion exchange.

Psychedelic and entheogenic medicine work have been emerging in the western world as powerful spirit allies for healing and guidance.

Gaslighting, Narcissism, Manipulation and Abuse in the Spiritual and Coaching Community

October 07, 2022 00:35 - 1 hour - 72.9 MB

The spiritual, personal development, coaching community has narcissists, abusers, sociopaths and shitty people in it, just like everywhere else. Unfortunately, these people are very skilled at distorting and manipulating spiritual teachings, language and practices to take advantage of and harm clients who come to them for help. These abusers may be so good at hiding behind spirituality that they could have harmed many people over the years, or even decades. This is wrong. This is out of int...

How To Trust Yourself, Shaman Sister Sessions #120

September 08, 2022 18:58 - 44 minutes - 40.5 MB

Many of us struggle with self-trust. Maybe you have trouble making decisions, you are easily swayed by the opinions and expectations of others, or seem to put your own needs and desires last. If so, you’re not alone. We live in a world that systematically undermines our connection to inner wisdom and guidance, and unless we actively learn the skills to cultivate self-trust, we’re stuck in self doubt. Relax! We’ve got you covered. Join Michelle Hawk and Katherine Bird for some real t...

#119 Resistance to Spiritual Initiation

May 05, 2022 02:36 - 38 minutes - 17.8 MB

Spiritual initiation cycles often bring up a lot of resistance. You’ve probably experienced this: initiations can be uncomfortable, confronting, challenging and triggering. But, as Michelle and Katherine discuss in this powerful episode, “resistance is fertile.” Resistance shows us where there is potent energy available for transformation, and when we understand and work with resistance, it can help catapult us forward into the next cycle. Join the Shaman Sisters for a very real look ...

#118 Judgment on the Spiritual Path

April 14, 2022 15:54 - 56 minutes - 46.3 MB

We hear so much in the spiritual and “conscious” world about being non-judgmental, not judging ourselves or others. But what if judgment is actually a really helpful, valuable and positive tool? Judgment is incredibly important for setting boundaries, evaluating integrity, aligning with right action and opening to high-frequency spiritual experiences. Michelle and Katherine love judgment. Join them for a conversation about the “anatomy of judgment,” why judgment is essential for your spir...

#117 Compassion Fatigue

February 25, 2022 20:51 - 18 minutes - 15.3 MB

What happens when our emotional systems become overwhelmed by a constant barrage of stress, suffering, disaster and crisis? Unfortunately, “compassion fatigue” is all too common these days, especially among healers, caretakers and empaths. It might feel like you’re numb or simply can’t bring yourself to care anymore, but it’s actually a sign of needing to protect yourself and draw your energy and power back home to your heart. Michelle and Katherine talk about their experiences with compassi...

SSS #116: How to Make Shamanic and Alchemical Tools for Transformation

February 03, 2022 23:08 - 53 minutes - 48.6 MB Video

When working with these sacred objects, we cultivate a powerful relationship with those frequencies an...

#116: How to Make Shamanic and Alchemical Tools for Transformation

February 03, 2022 13:00 - 53 minutes - 44.6 MB

#115 Quantifying Transformation (in Ourselves and Our Clients)

May 14, 2021 00:35 - 1 hour - 51.6 MB

It’s one thing to advertise oneself as a “transformational guide,” but how do we actually measure and quantify that transformation in our clients? Transformation and results are not the same thing. To truly support a transformational experience for our clients requires subtlety, attention, curiosity and working collaboratively with the ecosystem of self and spirit for that to take place. Michelle and Katherine share their understandings of transformation and how to best support that in t...

#114 Shapeshifting Your Practice

February 23, 2021 00:29 - 54 minutes - 45.2 MB

As soul-aligned practitioners, sometimes our practice asks us to radically shapeshift the way in which we serve, altering our personal and professional identities. This process can be incredibly challenging and uncomfortable, inviting us into deeper layers of trust, surrender and possibility. What happens when our practice changes so dramatically? How long do these shapeshifting phases take? What are the effects on other areas of our lives? Michelle and Katherine are both in shapesh...

#113 Soul Aligned Offerings for Practitioners

February 04, 2021 19:03 - 1 hour - 61.6 MB

As a practitioner, it’s easy to build programs and offerings in our business that we think “should” be there, either because we’re trying to fit our work into a traditional business paradigm, we’re coming from the place of just trying to make money, or we’re modeling our work after others (teachers, colleagues, others in the field). As a soul-aligned practitioner, these offerings usually fail. Not because there’s anything wrong with a traditional business paradigm, trying to make money or th...

#112 My Healing Business

January 21, 2021 19:24 - 1 hour - 63.9 MB

If you’re self-employed as a healer, chances are that you’ve tried to fit your business into traditional entrepreneurial models (even ones aimed at coaching) and found that it doesn’t work for you and/or feels super icky. You are not alone. There are some really good reasons why your healing business needs a unique approach and expression. Michelle and Katherine dive into “new paradigm” business and entrepreneurship in the healing industry: what works, what doesn’t, what’s total BS, an...

#111 My Shaman/Coach/Healer gave me bad advice. Now what?

November 27, 2020 23:52 - 1 hour - 63 MB

Bad advice is everywhere! Michelle and Katherine have seen tons of bad advice: on social media, in articles, received from their mentors/healers. Their clients have also come to them and shared bad advice offered by other practitioners. What gives? In this episode, they share the hallmarks of “good” versus “bad” advice and how to recognize it.

#110 Visionary Creation through Collaboration

October 29, 2020 14:51 - 43 minutes - 16.9 MB

#108 Activating your Awakening

September 18, 2020 00:00 - 44 minutes - 17.5 MB

Most of us assume that awakening and activation are only expansive phenomena, and if we’re experiencing contraction that there must be something wrong. However, it is impossible to “selectively open/activate.” As we go through awakening experiences and activate different fields and energy centers, any unprocessed, stagnant energy will also come to the surface. Instead of shutting down and creating an “energetic whiplash” experience, how can you stay present with your awakening and go t...

#107 How to Not Be a Spiritual Asshole

#101 Codes and Activations of COVID-19

April 02, 2020 08:25 - 1 hour - 24.8 MB

#99 Loneliness on the Spiritual Path

March 19, 2020 16:17

The spiritual path can feel pretty fucking lonely at times. Ironically, as we grow in our spiritual practice and feel more energetically connected than ever before (to Spirit, to guides, to Earth), we can simultaneously experience a feeling of isolation and aloneness. As a continuation of last episode’s theme (Relating to Family and Friends on the Spiritual Path), this episode dives specifically into the feeling and energy of loneliness. Michelle and Katherine are here to tell you tha...

#98 Relating to Family and Friends on the Spiritual Path

March 05, 2020 21:04

As you’ve gone through your spiritual awakening, you’ve probably experienced some challenges around relating to your family and old friends. Maybe you find that you don’t have anything in common with your family anymore. Maybe your friends’ unconscious behavior now annoys the shit out of you. Maybe you’re wondering, “How do I stay in integrity with my path and my beliefs, and also maintain some connection with these people I care about?” We get it. You are not alone. For pretty much ev...

#97 Rewilding

February 20, 2020 22:39 - 47 minutes - 18.3 MB

Who were you before the world told you who to be? Before social conditioning, before trauma, before you ever tried to make yourself small to fit in?

#96 Embodiment

February 06, 2020 04:46 - 1 hour - 25.1 MB

If you’re not fully grounded and inhabiting your physical body, you’re more likely to feel disconnected, distracted, anxious and stuck. You’re also less likely to be fully effective and empowered in your energetic practice. Relax. You’re not alone. We live in a society that conditions us to be disconnected from our bodies and distracted by everything from social media and the news to alcohol and climbing the corporate ladder. The good news is that there is a very simple solution...

#95 2020 Shamanic Year Planning for Healers, Empaths and Lightworkers

January 16, 2020 08:57 - 1 hour - 23.5 MB

Ah, the new Gregorian year/decade. That arbitrary time when people all over the world magically shift into a different reality, set goals and make plans to be bold, take action and make their dreams come true!!! Cringe. Anyone else super tired of goals, resolutions and action plans that don’t actually work? We’ve all been there. But the reality is that most of these goals and action plans are based completely in the mind and looking at your calendar like a 2-dimensional entity, and have a...

December 05, 2019 15:10 - 1 hour - 24.6 MB

Maybe you’ve heard about entities, energetic attachments and psychic attacks. Maybe someone has even told you that you have an entity, or you’ve wondered if you were a victim of psychic attack. After all, it would explain why everything in your life is falling apart, right??? Nope! We are happy to tell you that having entities and attachments is actually very rare. Rather, there is a far more likely explanation for what you’re experiencing, and it has to do with mastering your own energy b...

#89 Pitfalls on The Healing Path

October 03, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 31 MB

At some point in your healing journey, you will want to say f*** it and quit.

#88: Integrity in Spiritual Practice

August 29, 2019 18:03 - 1 hour - 26.5 MB

Integrity: the core foundation of any practice. What does it mean to be in integrity with yourself, with others and with Spirit? How do you know when you're in integrity? How do you know when others are acting in integrity?

#83: Through the Veil: All Hallow's and the Spirit Realm

November 02, 2018 05:21 - 56 minutes - 21.9 MB
