What if your body has already started to heal, and it's only your mind that hasn't caught up yet? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Ann Ruane, Soul Practitioner, Intuitive Energy Healer, and Spiritual Midwife at Lux Eterna Healing. With 15 years of experience, Ann works with people who feel an inner stirring they can't quite name, those who sense that something is shifting, but don't yet have words for what it is or where it's taking them. Ann describes her work as spiritual midwifery, and I love that phrase. She walks alongside people as they navigate the spiritual and emotional thresholds of life, through Reiki, intuitive energy healing, crystal healing, and deep attunement to the messages held within the body. Because as she so beautifully says, our minds and our bodies often speak different languages, and most of us were never taught to translate. What struck me most in this conversation is how much permission Ann offers. Permission to not know. Permission to feel deeply without shame. Permission for the process to be messy and cyclical and real 😌. She shares her own journey, from teaching piano to healing others full-time, through a divorce, through the quiet shower revelation that gave her the words she'd been searching for. And how simply naming herself a spiritual midwife, just weeks before we recorded this, had already begun to shift the energy of her work and the clients finding their way to her. If you've ever been told you're too sensitive, too complicated, or too much, this conversation is for you. Ann holds space for the deeply feeling, deeply perceiving humans who are ready to stop living by everyone else's definitions and come home to themselves 😊. In this episode, we explore: ➤ What spiritual midwifery actually means, and why the art of seeing the self is one of the most profound forms of healing available right now ➤ Why your body is the wisest guide you have, and what happens when you finally learn to listen to it rather than override it ➤ The six pillars of spiritual midwifery, from witnessing without judgement to empowered emergence and the sovereignty of living a life that is truly yours ➤ How to recognise when you're ready for this kind of work, even when you don't have the language for what you're feeling This episode is for anyone who knows, deep down, that something is ready to shift, even if they can't yet say what it is or where it's going. If you've been quietly carrying the sense that there's more for you, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
