#55 Feel into this experience
April 08, 2020 13:00 - 55 minutes - 38.5 MBWe are all having varied and completely unique perspectives on this experience of a global pandemic. Whether you're working from home, working on the front lines of health care or other essential industries, out of a job, or home-schooling your children for the first time, all of these experiences are deeply important to your own and the collective's evolution. I urge you to feel into those feelings, triggers, fears and urges to numb out. We don't know how long this will last, and time seems...
#54 Allow all of the feelings
April 01, 2020 13:00 - 47 minutes - 32.9 MBAs we continue to walk through this very intense time on the planet, it's important that we allow all of the feelings (positive and negative) to come up. As we allow and acknowledge the emotions that arise without judgment, instead of ignoring or suppressing them, we encourage them to clear. It is normal to go through waves of intense emotions while we are under this kind of stress, so please be gentle with yourself and others. When we look at—and give a name to our feelings—they lose power....
#53 BONUS: A New Earth Healing Mediation
March 25, 2020 14:00 - 11 minutes - 7.75 MBWe are in a moment of collective pause. While enduring this very intense situation, we are presented with an opportunity—one in which we can destroy old paradigms and create a New Earth. I'm choosing to see this as an unprecedented opportunity for growth for the human collective. Join me as we create this New Earth, together. Resources for this episode: Every Thursday while we are sheltering in place, I'll be streaming a 60-minute yoga and meditation class to help us Ride the Wave at noon...
#53 A New Earth
March 25, 2020 13:00 - 57 minutes - 39.9 MBWe are in a moment of collective pause. While enduring this very intense situation, we are presented with an opportunity—one in which we can destroy old paradigms and create a New Earth. Though the gravity of the experience is not to be understated, I do believe that we can take this as a very clear message that business as usual must stop. This is not just affecting some of us. It's affecting every single one of us, which is bringing people together energetically. You can choose to focus on...
#52 Ride the wave
March 18, 2020 13:00 - 37 minutes - 25.9 MBWe are in the midst of an unprecedented shift on the planet and it's more important than ever that we strengthen our immune, nervous, and energetic systems to ride this wave. Let's remember to acknowledge the things we have to be grateful for, to have compassion for everyone as they have their own experience, and connect with nature daily—even while sheltering in place! Those of us who can stay calm, strong, and be leaders of the Aquarian Age will hold space for everyone who is struggling. I...
#51 Transmuting fear into love
March 11, 2020 13:00 - 50 minutes - 35 MBThese are trying times and I'm taking this opportunity to remind all of us that we have the ability to transmute the fear that is so prevalent in the collective right now. From epidemics, to elections, to abuse of power, there's so much triggering reactions from us individually and as a culture. But I truly believe that with intention, we can change this energy from fear to love—if we do it together! I discuss some of the techniques I use to connect with my own energy, use discernment about ...
#50 Claim your own authority
March 04, 2020 14:00 - 51 minutes - 35.3 MBIn these very trying times filled with inequality, abuse of power, misogeny, and injustice everywhere we look, we are being required to stand up and claim our own power. As people share their stories of the abuses they've endured, it helps them heal their own wounds, inspire others, and claim our own authority. By saying I'm not staying quiet anymore, I'm courageous enough to tell the truth, it changes the energetics of the planet. In this episode, I share how I'm moving forward in light of ...

#49 Mercury retrograde: Not a time to freak out, an opportunity to evaluate your communication
February 26, 2020 14:00 - 43 minutes - 29.6 MBIt's that time of year again—Mercury Retrograde. How many times have you heard people say this with disdain or after some issue happens and they blame it on Mercury. While pop astrology might have you believe that it's time to stay home and batten down the hatches, I think it's an opportunity to evaluate—or reevaluate—how you communicate with yourself and others. Yes, there will be issues with electronics, travel and miscommunication. But if you allow yourself to go with the flow, have patie...
#48 Plastic pollution and why protecting the environment is part of our spiritual evolution
February 19, 2020 14:00 - 58 minutes - 40.3 MBMost of us feel good about recycling. But many of us are "aspirational" recyclers—when you're not sure if it's recyclable, you put it in the recycle bin, including plastic bags, plastic wrap and anything that looks remotely recyclable. In reality, that low-quality, flimsy plastic isn't really recyclable and we're mucking up recycling plants with it, making it harder for the processing of the real recyclables. Even more alarming: much of our waste never makes it to the recycling plant or the ...
#47 Embracing our shadow to courageously open the heart
February 12, 2020 14:00 - 43 minutes - 30 MBThe deeper I dive into this process of embracing the spiritual journey, the more I realize that it’s not about getting rid of or casting out the shadow parts of me, but it’s about fully accepting ALL parts of me. The inner child who doesn’t want to get hurt and cares so much about being accepted and loved by others, the impatient part that is living in the future, the programmed parts of me that have been conditioned to believe certain things just by being in this society. Accepting and lovi...
#46 Energy flows where your intention goes
February 05, 2020 14:00 - 43 minutes - 29.8 MBIf you follow me on Instagram, you know that I pull a card from an oracle deck every morning following my morning meditation practice. Often, it's from Gabrielle Bernstein's The Universe Has Your Back card deck and last week, I pulled the same card 3 or 4 times! That card read "Energy flows where my intention goes". In this episode, I talk about what that message means to me in my life and how we can all bring this wisdom into our lives. I also share my experience after completing 90 days of...
#45 Invite magic into your daily life
January 29, 2020 14:00 - 40 minutes - 27.8 MBIt's been an intense few weeks! If you're feeling a little pressure, overwhelm, and/or exhaustion, you're not alone. In this episode, I share some experiences that I had last week that have allowed me to get into the moment by connecting with my breath, the natural world and the magic of the cosmos, even amidst the chaos. I had multiple times where I was astonished by the beauty of nature and I allowed myself to really take it in and be grateful for this human experience. So, if you're feeli...

#43 The art and science of astrology with Rose Theodora
January 15, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBRose Theodora is a celebrated astrologer, writer, and curator who weaves together aesthetics, science, and her intuitive understanding of astrology to help people navigate their experience in the world. Her love of art, neuroscience and psychology gives her a unique perspective on astrology, that is very accessible to understand and feel. In this conversation, we get into Rose's childhood—exposed to both the worlds of logical "hard" sciences, and the new-age/mystical perspective—from her par...
#42 Be courageously joyful
January 08, 2020 14:00 - 37 minutes - 25.9 MBAs we move into this powerful year of love miracles, and getting s%#t done, I wanted to also remind us all to be courageously joyful. It takes courage to listen to your inner guide and spirit, to be authentic—no matter what others will say about it—and to do things that are uncomfortable or fear inducing. But if you balance that courage by consciously bringing joy into your life, it will help you feel more courageous and then joyful. It's like a feedback loop of love, light and joy! Remember...
#41 Stop playing small
January 01, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 41.5 MBIt's a new year, a new decade and this is the time to step into your authentic selves in a more powerful way than ever. We cannot afford to play small anymore. The cosmos, our souls and the collective need each and every one of us to be as true to ourselves as possible. That's why we incarnated here—to evolve spiritually through this human experience. This moment in time is critical for our evolution and you must show up for your Self, the planet and each other. We've been conditioned to bel...
#40 Calling in what you want to manifest in 2020
December 25, 2019 14:00 - 34 minutes - 23.9 MBIt may cliche to make intentions for the new year, but it can be a really powerful practice when you have the right intention behind it. In this episode, I talk about why 2020 is going to be a year of love and miracles, how committing to taking an action every day for a specific duration is so powerful, and some of the rituals and practices that I do to call in what I'm manifesting for the coming year. If you listen to this episode after the new year, don't worry, these tools can be used on ...
#39 Navigating the holidays with grace and love
December 18, 2019 14:00 - 52 minutes - 36.4 MBNavigating the holidays can be a challenge for anyone, let alone those of us on a spiritual path that doesn't necessarily fit into societal norms. You may spend the holidays with extended family that have a way of pushing buttons no one else can—and you may observe yourself unconsciously pushing others' buttons! But with self-awareness, you can let go of your old patterns and really step into acceptance, and you truly can be comfortable in any situation. In this episode, I share some of my e...

December 11, 2019 14:00 - 1 hour - 79.8 MBThis episode is an inspiring conversation I had with Julian Melanson, a filmmaker, a yogi, and a teacher. In this conversation, we go deep into Julian's journey as he courageously followed his inspiration and intuition throughout his life. From producing skateboard videos as a kid and creating a popular YouTube channel before it was even a thing, to becoming a best-selling online filmmaking course teacher, Julian has always followed his creativity in his life. While building his career by do...
#37 Learn through experience
December 04, 2019 14:00 - 55 minutes - 38 MBI just returned from a journey to France for a retreat in which we dove deep into kundalini yoga and meditation, the current astrological climate, connecting with our spirit guides, angels and ascended masters, and so many more mystical practices. While I'm still unraveling the blessings and wisdom received through the experience, in this episode, I share some of the magic of the journey, why the cosmos are supporting you in building the foundations for everything you've envisioned over the ...

#36 Gratitude
November 27, 2019 14:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MBThis Thanksgiving week, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about the power of gratitude. No matter how you feel or the situation you're in, there's always an opportunity to find something to be grateful for. Practice finding gratitude even at your low points, and you'll find it to be an incredibly healing and uplifting process. In this episode, I talk about some of my experiences with this and how it's changed my life. I also THANK YOU, the listeners, for your love and support in this...

#35 The Power of Silence
November 20, 2019 14:00 - 39 minutes - 27.3 MBIn this final episode of the series on conscious communication, we delve into the power of silence. Connecting to silence, stillness, neutrality in your communications and your life as a while is an effective way to fully embody your true nature. I find that practicing silence is a way for me to find Oneness, Source, God. By recognizing the God within ourselves and the God within everyone, everything, we find serenity and peace regardless of what's happening. Through prayer, meditation and f...
#34 The Power of Listening
November 13, 2019 14:00 - 45 minutes - 31.5 MBIn this second episode of the conscious communication series, we focus on the power of listening. We often are too hung up on our own agendas instead of really listening to others. When we harness the power of listening to others, to our own words and thoughts, and our intuition, we inform and connect to our world. When we listen deeply, sunni-ali in gurmukhi, we can be one step ahead of the moment. As Yogi Bhajan says, listening is your greatest power, "When some of you stop listening, you...
#33 Words Matter
November 06, 2019 14:00 - 51 minutes - 35.7 MBHow conscious is your communication? Words have a vibrations and energy. Each word is wrapped up and delivered in a "pranic unit"—a package of energy that can uplift or lower the energy of those involved in the communication. How often do we say words with intention to elevate others and the world? More often than not, we get so caught up in our own thoughts that words just come out without much thought or thought to the content, intent, and effect of our words. After an enlightening week ...
#32 You are limitless
October 30, 2019 13:00 - 34 minutes - 23.7 MBMany of us have been conditioned about our health, our intelligence, our physical abilities, and any number of other things. But have you ever thought about where those limitations and conditions really come from? The only limitations in your life are in your mind. When we run into a road block that we think we can't overcome, it is literally there because we have placed it there ourselves. It's time to step beyond our limitations, heal ourselves, and reclaim our power as creator beings. Yo...
#31 Open your heart
October 23, 2019 13:00 - 44 minutes - 30.8 MBMany of us, due to programing and our own life experiences, have built a barrier around our hearts to protect us from the chaos of the world. Now, we are in a time in which heart coherence with our brain, each other, and Earth's magnetic field is a critical part in our own healing process. Ancient yogic wisdom has used techniques that showed an understanding that the heart, brain and gut are all connected and working together in ways scientists are just beginning to discover. In this episode...
#31 BONUS: Mediation to activate and expand your heart

This activation will allow you to feel more, give more, and love more deeply. It will also allow you to work with the Earth's energy grids in ...
#30 You're exactly where you're supposed to be
October 16, 2019 13:00 - 35 minutes - 24.3 MBOn a spiritual journey, it's important to be courageous enough to listen to your intuition even when you're not sure how or why you're doing the things you felt called to do. Self doubt—it's a human trait we've all experienced at one time or another. But the truth is, there is no wrong way to live. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow. You're exactly where you're supposed to be and everything happens in divine timing. In this episode, I remind you that every time you doubt that you're...

#29 Awaken ALL of your senses
October 09, 2019 13:00 - 45 minutes - 31.1 MBWe all have the ability to sense energy beyond our physical senses. You know that feeling when you just KNOW something, but can't explain how, or you have a "feeling" something will happen? That's you tapping into your higher dimensional senses. We have entered a potent portal in which you are being invited to awaken your gifts beyond the 3D in a very expansive way. The only limitations you will have are your own self-limiting beliefs. In this episode, I use some examples of some very simple...

#28 What are you meant to create?
October 02, 2019 13:00 - 49 minutes - 34.3 MBDo you feel called to create something, but have some story that you've told yourself about why you can't? There are many excuses to not do something, but are you willing to look at why you're resistant? We all have some aspect of ourselves that we hide—that part of us that we are ashamed of or we don't think is good enough to show to the world. In this episode, I share an aspect of my shadow that I connected with in order to have the energy and confidence to create something new! I have a...
#27 The Aquarian age, climate change and the ocean
September 25, 2019 13:00 - 52 minutes - 36.4 MBIn this episode, I discuss the ways in which I am blurring the lines between science and spirituality in my life as an aquarian leader and an ocean science communicator and how we each can have an impact of the planet. The Aquarian Age is an astrological period that Earth has entered. This age is defined by truth, self awareness, and inner wisdom. We are being called to seek knowledge, leadership and God within ourselves instead of the old paradigm where we were taught that we had to worship...
#26 Emotions are your Superpowers
September 18, 2019 13:00 - 42 minutes - 29.5 MBMany people spend their lives ignoring, suppressing, or letting their emotions control them. But what if you looked at your emotions as indicators of what's happening in your self-sensory system? Emotions are tools to help you learn about yourself. If you work with challenging emotions at a safe, quiet time—like during meditation—they can give you insights about what's weighing you down and how to clear it. In this episode, I talk about my journey towards allowing my emotions to inform self-...
#25 Embracing the Teacher Within
September 11, 2019 13:00 - 44 minutes - 30.8 MBEveryone of us is a teacher in one way or another. Some of us teach in a formal way— in classrooms, studios, books, online, and over the airwaves. But no matter what our career, in every interaction we have the opportunity to teach by example. Our actions speak louder than words. To me, a teacher is a leader, and everyone has some way in which they can lead. How do you want to show up as a leader in the world? Yogi Bhajan famously said that he came to the west, not to acquire students, but...
#24 Learning through experience
September 04, 2019 13:00 - 43 minutes - 29.6 MBWe all learn differently. Many learn through books, classes, workshops, but we ALL learn through experience. In this episode, I talk about the importance of not just reading and taking in information, but having an experience of our spiritual journey. My love of yoga classes, kundalini kris, workshops, retreats and being in community has empowered me to feel things I never would on my own. I believe spiritual evolution involves learning by doing and then teaching others by sharing your exper...

#22 Be the Lighthouse
August 21, 2019 13:00 - 40 minutes - 28 MBBe the lighthouse. You've probably heard this beautiful adage that Yogi Bhajan encouraged us all to embody. How can we be a neutral, radiant, vital being that shines our light for others to know you are a source of comfort, connection, safety without forcing ourselves to be something we're not. You can be yourSelf! The way I've connected with my Self is through a disciplined daily practice where I connect to my higher Self, Source and my own infinity. With that practice as my foundation, I c...
#21 Eight ways to cultivate Self Love in your life
August 14, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 49.3 MBIt may be cliche to talk about self love. Everyone talks about it, but how do you really cultivate it? I've been on a journey towards self love for my whole life, really. But for the last 5 years, I've been cultivating it in an intentional way. I thought it might be helpful to share some of the practices and philosophies I've used to cultivate it in my life—and I came up with 8 for you to try or at least consider. Listen and let me know what you think! Mentioned in this episode: Julie Piat...
#20 Self Empowerment: stepping into your Self
August 07, 2019 17:00 - 26 minutes - 18 MBOver the last couple of weeks, I've had experiences that initiated full self empowerment. I feel like I've fully stepped into my power as a spiritual being having a human experience, as a yogi, a scientist, a communicator, and a healer. In this episode, I talk about this experience, how I got here, and how you too, can fully step into your power. This is a time where we each have to be our own guru and a lighthouse for everyone else struggling in the world. I truly believe we are on a cusp o...

#17 Deathlessness and rebirth
July 17, 2019 13:00 - 52 minutes - 36.2 MBHave you been feeling a little... ready for change? The energies in the Cosmos right now are powerful, intense, and might be provoking some discomfort and angst. In this episode, I discuss the opportunity we have for rebirth—now, during these potent energies—and every day. We are being supported to release all that does not serve us and step fully into our powerful, true Selves. It takes courage, vulnerability, discipline, and grit. But I believe we all have the capacity for loving ourselves...
#16 Unconditional love to ALL
July 10, 2019 11:00 - 50 minutes - 34.4 MBThink about the people you love most. Maybe it's your kids, your parents, your spiritual teacher, or those friends you meet who you connect with so deeply that you know you've met them before in some other time or place. Have you ever considered that you are capable of loving EVERYONE in that same way? True, unconditional love for all. Can you unconditionally love your adversaries, the people who challenge you most, the strangers that trigger you by their unkind or self-centered actions? Wi...
#15 My experience at 3HO Summer Solstice
June 26, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBFor the last 50 years, the kundalini yoga community comes together in the high desert north of Santa Fe, New Mexico to meditate, release, and activate during the summer solstice. Although I had just finished my teacher training at Yoga West in LA a few weeks previous and really wanted to stay home, resting from all of the travel, I felt called to go. In this episode, I describe my experience there and how I processed some of what occurred. It was a week of intense, uncomfortable, and profoun...
