Survive to Thrive: Excavation

Adora Winquist February 16, 2022

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

Adora Winquist February 16, 2022

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

Adora Winquist February 9, 2022

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

Adora Winquist February 2, 2022

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

Adora Winquist January 31, 2022

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

Adora Winquist January 25, 2022

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: Survival and Struggle

Adora Winquist January 20, 2022

This is the first of a seven-part series called Survive to Thrive. A little bit of background on why I chose to take us on this specific journey: in 2022, I'm going to be launching my new school program called the Soul Institute, which is exciting. As I was gathering ideas to put together for course programs, I was going through my book, Detox Nourish Activate, and one section in the Adrenal area, called the Personal Evolution Triad, stood out to me to be expounded upon. Based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, it takes us along the journey of self mastery.

Survive to Thrive: The Personal Evolution Triad

Adora Winquist January 20, 2022

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.

Alchemy of Better Mood

Adora Winquist December 14, 2021

This meditation transmits the alchemy of better mood. We can all agree that from the collective perspective, we are at an apex of mood-based discontent. We are facing an increase in overwhelm, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and many other mental health challenges. With these influences all around us, how do we consistently improve and balance our mood? How do we tap in and ground into our highest mood regardless of outside circumstances, most of which we cannot control? How do we enhance our creativity and expand our clarity in a consistent and healthy way? How can we experience the joy that is available to us in each moment?

The Alchemy of Forgiveness

The Alchemy of Forgiveness

Adora Winquist December 1, 2021

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 Release

The Alchemy Release

Adora Winquist November 16, 2021

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.

Adora Winquist September 21, 2021

Communing with the Zero Point Field

Adora Winquist September 1, 2021

In this meditation as with all meditations I lead, we will be incorporating an essential oil from the plant kingdoms and a crystal from the mineral kingdom to activate, heal, and awaken. These beautiful alchemies can deeply support us in our ever evolving journey of awakening. This meditation will be on communing with the zero point field,the dimension of limitless creation. Our journey today will be very heart centered, as this is how to access the zero point field. We will be working with the alchemy of Rose Otto and labradorite. It’s OK if you don’t have either of these alchemies because we’ll be invoking the cosmic consciousness and vital life force of both.
