Stuck in the Loop of Chronic Illness?

Adora Winquist June 3, 2021

Featured in Balanced Babe

Chronic illness can be debilitating to much more than our physical wellbeing. It can drain our joy, limit our ability to adapt and respond to stress as well as cloud our mental clarity. Approaching healing from a holistic perspective is paramount for sustainable shifts of healing to take place.

Honoring Your Roots

Adora Winquist June 1, 2021

This week’s meditation is part two from last week’s meditation, Tending to Your Roots. We went into our roots from this incarnation and then into each of our mother and father bloodlines to clear the roots of any type of trauma distortion, or energy blockages.

Tending To Your Roots

Adora Winquist May 27, 2021

This meditation is on Tending to Your Roots. We will journey to our own “secret gardens” for clearing and release. Any aspects of pain and trauma from this life affect not only our physical, emotional and mental aspects of life, but they also sink further down through our DNA and cement any places and patterns of distortion and dysfunction that are held there.

Crystals For Sleep

Q: How and why can crystals support a good night's sleep?

The ancient healing properties of crystals are a relatively untapped phenomena of the natural world. The Earth is composed of thousands of minerals with specific and potent abilities to heal, balance and fortify our existence.

Since ancient times we have been drawn to the elements of fire and smoke and its mesmerizing nature. Historically, we have created numerous traditions to honor our human connection to the natural world and the mystical nature of “smoke.” The same practices continue in the present day.

The Element Series: Ether

Adora Winquist May 20, 2021

This is the fifth and final meditation in our element series, featuring ether. Ether is known as quintessence, or life force ready to be crafted into form. Similar to how an essential oil represents the quintessence and life force of the plant. Unlike the other elements that we’ve explored, ether is unmanifested and so it is difficult to contextualize. It has no space, it is infinite, it is light, it is still, and yet it exists all around us. Ether is this beautiful universal frequency that with the clarity of our intentions, we can co-create with it in a very synergistic way.

The Element Series: Air

Adora Winquist May 13, 2021

This is the fourth meditation in our element series, featuring Air. We'll be working with the element of air and transmuting energy and patterning, particularly around thought, emotion and belief systems. And as with every meditation that I offer, I'll be mentioning two alchemical interventions, one from the plant kingdom and one from the mineral kingdom. Each carry a full range of vibrational patterning that has been graciously put on the planet to heal, awaken and activate ourselves, not just our energy beings, but right down to the cellular consciousness, our DNA and our bloodlines to really allow for quantum shifts in our ability to create from an empowered perspective.

The Element Series: Fire

Adora Winquist May 6, 2021

Welcome to the third meditation in our Element Series. Each week we’ve been working with a specific element and its frequency to clear and energize our own being so that we can accommodate more light frequency in our fields and then to beam that new vibration throughout the planet to restore the original blueprint of that element. Through shifting and expanding our own perception of reality and the nature of our divine light we can then harmonically induct the frequency of the planet and our collective consciousness.

Love is in the Air

Adora Winquist April 15, 2021

Spring is filled with the energy of new beginnings. It is a time of renewal and the rising of Light. It is also a time of new love and the deepening of our current relationships. This meditation is an invitation to opening your heart to give and receive love more expansively, and to let go of any energies and frequencies that constrict your ability to do so.

Co-Creation

Adora Winquist March 17, 2021

In each of the meditations I host, we invoke the presence of an aromatic from the plant kingdom and a mineral or crystal from the mineral kingdom. We use their frequencies to enhance the meditation experience and healing available. I'd like to invite in the deepening of our ability to co-create with the elements around us, specifically the elementals and the Devas of healing from the plant, mineral and animal kingdoms.

Goddess Venus

Adora Winquist March 3, 2021

There are two aspects connected to Goddess Venus. The Roman Goddess from Botticelli’s beautiful art is a goddess of beauty, abundance and creativity. There’s also the ascended master aspect of Goddess Venus, which is more of a multi-dimensional aspect of Venus in her form of divine love. It's beautiful to be able to open ourselves to both of these energies, both of these experiences to expand our field and our conscious awareness as we go into this meditation.

Survive to Thrive: Survival and Struggle
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
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.

Healing Abandonment
December 11, 2020

One of the reasons that we use essential oils is that when we're inhaling an essential oil or a synergy, it helps us connect to or create a new memory cell because of the powerful connection between olfaction and the limbic center of our brain that regulates so much of our physiology, specifically mood, memory, and emotion. And so with this process, we're able to create new and healthier neuro-pathways patterns to really shift the trajectory of our emotional response when we have triggering, overwhelming or stressful experiences.

Salt is used to cleanse and purify a home, office or other personal space of stagnant or unwanted energy. The energy of your environment has a direct impact on your mood, mental clarity, and overall sense of inspiration and harmony in your life. Salt was once traded by weight for gold. Ancient traditions used it for food preservation, mummification, to treat illness, and maintain the body's biochemistry.

This messaging came from our parents and the culture of our heritage, the media, the maya of celebrity, and all the experiences we've had from the schoolyard to the corporate boardroom and even the bedroom where this has been reinforced.
