Survive to Thrive: Excavation
This is the fifth meditation in our Survive to Thrive series. This week we are going to be working with excavation, and we are going to be working with the throat chakra. The Sanskrit word for the throat chakra “Vishuddha,” means purification. The throat center invites us to excavate our soul path, and is all about liberation, self-expression, and feeling free to embody our most authentic truth and being able to articulate our highest truth with strength and grace.

Truth
Once we realize that we are what we create, our focus begins to shift. We start to evaluate our words, actions and as importantly, our thought processes with the affirmation that to live life in love, non-judgment, healing and forgiveness is truth. This is the ALL. We are divinity and we are perfection. As co-creators and creators, the possibilities are endless. Limitation does not exist, unless you will it, after all free will does prevail. Do you choose to live your life in mastery or exist in a world of hopelessness and helplessness, as a perpetual victim? There is always a choice. Every time we berate and admonish a colleague, friend, family member or stranger, we are living in disempowerment. For it is only in our self-judgment that we stand, encountering our own reflection in those before us. By letting judgment and fear control us, we are denying that spark of divinity that is so brightly lit within.

Survive to Thrive: Remembrance
Welcome to the fourth meditation in our Survive to Thrive personal evolution triad series. The personal evolution triad is based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, then furthered by providing an understanding of how we can work with the aspects of the natural world—the alchemies of essential oils and crystals—and with affirmations and energy to anchor our intentions through the molecules of the aromatics into and throughout our bodies and beings. The triad focuses on not only a specific level of consciousness, but a system of the body and chakra as well, which allows us to really integrate and hone in our focus and intention to be able to create those quantum leaps along our pathway of self mastery.

Akashic Records
The Akashic Records is a vibrational repository of every individual’s life. In my book Detox, Nourish, Activate: Plant & Vibrational Medicine for Energy, Mood and Love the Akashic Records is defined as “an etheric collection of each human soul’s lifetime (past and present) containing karmic information and soul level contracts. I think of the records as a tool, an intervention and as a map of sorts, that can help to illuminate our path and purpose in life. It can support us to find our passion, understand the patterns in our life that hold us back from greater health and harmony and to access a place of divine knowledge and ancient wisdom that we carry deep within our cellular consciousness. This “Hall of Records” also holds the history of humankind working with the medicines from the Earth. The plant and mineral kingdoms offer potent alchemical remedies for us to heal, awaken, transform and evolve our consciousness through their versatile application.

Survive to Thrive: Healing Commitment
Welcome to today's meditation, the third week in our Survive to Thrive series. It is such a joy to have been so immersed in all of the different facets of this healing series, it feels profoundly transformational to me. All of the pieces, threads, and aspects of the alchemies, the esoteric philosophy, and the psycho-spiritual aspects come together in a great synergy that helps us find new ways to thrive in our lives and understand more deeply that our soul work is really our sole work.

Survive to Thrive: Healing Crisis
Welcome to our weekly meditation. Today is the second meditation in a seven-part series called Survive to Thrive. For this series we are expanding on one of the designs, based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, from my new book, Detox, Nourish, Activate. As we progress through the seven weeks, we will be moving step by step through this triad of the journey of self-mastery so that we can truly embody and actualize our soul's purpose. Last week, for the first meditation, we focused on the first step, Survival and Struggle. For this week’s meditation, we will focus on the second step, Healing Crisis.
Survive to Thrive: The Personal Evolution Triad
As a student and teacher for over two decades in the field of alternative medicine, I have come to understand the infinite nature of personal growth in an expansive way. In the writing of our new programs for the launch of our educational platform: The Soul Institute, I have refined the initial concept of the Personal Evolution Triad: Survive to Thrive. Based on the concept of Maslov’s Hierarchy, the Survive to Thrive diagram furthers the understanding of how we can evolve from the primary steps of survival and struggle. When we engage in the vicious cycle of struggle, dis-ease is perpetuated, whether it manifests in our body, mind, emotions or spirit.

Focusing Inward
Welcome to today’s Seeds of the Spirit meditation and journey on focusing inward. Now more than ever, we are called to shift our gaze from the outer experiences and manifestations of life to our inner planes of creation, conscious and subconsciousness patterning to connect, care and commune with our authentic selves in a deeper way. It’s a wonderful time to bring the energy of revitalization, regeneration, and nurturing. One of the focuses today will be to bring this healing light to any part of our physical, emotional, and mental bodies that need support and are calling out for attention, love, and connection. Tremendous power is held in harnessing the present moment with our positive intention for transformation, transmutation and quantum leaping along our own evolutionary spiral.

Assimilating Wisdom
Welcome to today's Seeds of the Spirit meditation on assimilating the wisdom of the past year. Today we will be working with the alchemies of merlinite and sandalwood oil. The end of the year brings a wonderful opportunity for reflection, review and receiving. In truth, it is much more than reviewing the last year. Even that idea is linear in nature. However, from the perspective of earth time, we have markers to pin a moment in time to view from.
Reflecting upon each bounty and win of the year allows us to fully receive the magnificence and vibration of empowerment encoded within. It integrates the experience at our soul level. The same applies for each “blesson” (a lesson that contains an eventual blessing), even if we cannot see the golden nugget of wisdom within the experience yet. Every part of our life, our bodies, minds and spirits that are still calling for our love, our forgiveness, our acceptance and our light are potent areas of reflection that allow us to embrace all of who we are. This is the journey of assimilation.

The Alchemy of Quantum Energy
Today’s meditation is on the alchemy of Quantum Energy. We will be tuning in, tuning up, lighting up, and getting activated from an energetic perspective. The quantum field invites us to align with the potential of infinite energy. Expanding beyond the 3D matrix of limitation creates a quantum field and draws us into the zero point field of limitless potential. We enhance this energy by honoring ourselves and deepening our practices of self care.
This meditation will open and activate our points of connection to the frequencies of quantum energy to expand our ability to receive energy and intelligence through our auric field and down to and through our cellular consciousness and our DNA.
The Alchemy of Forgiveness
In this meditation we will be inviting deeper levels of forgiveness in our lives. The other day, my eldest daughter Lilly was sharing some of her favorite quotes by Martin Luther King and I was struck by the profound and timely message of this one in particular. To paraphrase: “When we are devoid of the ability to forgive, we're truly unable to love.” At one time or another, we’ve all held on to the pains of the past, whether that’s heartache, loss, grief, betrayal, or injustice. These unresolved emotions build bitterness, resentment and toxicity for bodies, our minds and our overall well being. And yet, we have the power to set ourselves free. When we bring our focus of forgiveness inward and illuminate the voice of the harsh inner critic, we lighten and enlighten ourselves. That inner healing balm of forgiveness, acceptance and embrace opens our hearts for greater experiences of love and compassion for ourselves as well as others.

The Alchemy of Appreciation
Where are you called to be kinder and more appreciative of yourself? Where can you create space for compassionate self care? It’s important to bring our focus inward and to embrace our emotions and all of the footsteps of our journey that have brought us here. Having compassion and forgiveness for ourselves lends us more bandwidth to appreciate everything and everyone we come into contact with in our lives, even if those things don't always seem like blessings.

The Alchemy Release
The alchemy of Release is all about embracing life. For most of us, it is effortless to enjoy life when we are feeling free and joyful, when we have something exciting to look forward to, or when new love is in the air. It is equally common that in seasons of unpleasant experiences and emotions, we find ourselves resisting, avoiding, talking down to, and turning away from what life is presenting. These moments of discomfort are too part of life in its fullness. Opportunities call out to us for self love, support, healing, kindness, and a compassionate, warm embrace so that we may return back to the inner sunny days. As we embrace the entirety of our experience for exactly what and how it is, the places that are held in pain, grief, or any amount of suffering have room to surface and release, paving the way for us to experience days filled with more freedom, joy, love, and harmony.

Invoke the Alchemy of Goddess Hecate All Hallows’ Eve
All Hallows’ Eve marks a time of celebration of life and a personal reflection and assimilation of the year gone by. Since the veil between the realms is thin, it offers a mystical time for intentional creation.
Each aspect of the Divine Feminine offers a specific healing and transmission of empowerment. In the colder months, we look to Goddess Hecate to infuse us with new levels of strength, clarity and abundance. As the leaves change and begin to fall, the cooler weather invigorates our ability to gaze inward. Often depicted in triple form, holding a pair of torches, the Greek Goddess Hecate is a Light Leader with the ability to assist us in transmuting and bridging the darkness of the shadow side, or lower self, which exists in us all. Embracing our shadow nature allows our light to burn more brightly, illuminating our highest path of purpose and passion.

DNA Healing Level Series: Heart Detox
Detoxing the heart invites us to release all that no longer serves the truth of who we are. We must let go of all that stands in the way of experiencing the fullness of our sacred human hearts and love for ourselves as well as love for another. When we’re talking about the heart, this is our center for relations. All of our relational cords are held here. It is the gateway to the astral realm. So many of our previous lifetimes of unresolved frequencies and emotions are held in this area as well. Detoxing the heart gives us a wonderful opportunity to go inward, and in a very essential way, release anything that we’re holding onto that is heavy, and that isn’t congruent with the magnitude of our magnificence.

DNA Healing Level Series: Brain Detox
Today, we continue our series on detoxing, nourishing, and activating. We will be balancing the nervous system with the brain detox meditation. Interestingly enough, I got home on Sunday from my trip to New Jersey and New York City, and Monday morning I was feeling really sluggish. The first oil I picked up was the brain detox, and then I realized I was set to talk about detoxing the brain this week. This formula was especially helpful coming from such a tangible energy of anxiety in this area that has experienced some of the worst of COVID and holds many waves of PTSD energy held from the trauma of this experience. So, our conversation about detoxing the brain is very timely from a perspective of clearing patterns and energy of fear, anxiety, stress and trauma.

Calling in Greater Abundance
Welcome to our special meditation for calling in greater abundance. We will energetically pave the way for opening and expanding in our relationship with all levels of abundance. As our collective planetary consciousness continues to purge patterns of limitation and survival mode, we are personally called to explore and transmute our own belief systems and emotional responses to abundance and financial prosperity. Our alchemical allies of cinnamon and jade will support our journey of transformation.

DNA Level Healing Series: Adrenal Detox
Welcome to our sacred healing group. Today we will be diving into detoxing the Adrenal system, which I also talk about in greater detail in my new book, Detox. Nourish. Activate: Plant & Vibrational Medicine for Energy, Mood, and Love. The Adrenal system relates to our connectivity with life force and our nature as a free sovereign being. Freedom and life force are very much a part of the psycho-spiritual aspects of the Adrenal system. You might have heard of chronic fatigue or adrenal burnout. I believe that there’s probably at least 98.9% of humanity that has some degree of adrenal fatigue that’s brought on from stress. Chronic stress is compounded in the body, so it can build up over time and affect the adrenal glands.
